Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A LAILA, o Ierubaala, oia hoi o Gideona, a me na kanaka a pau me ia, ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui, a hoomakaukau iho la ma ka luawai o Haroda. Aia hoi ka puali o ko Midiana ma ka aoao kukulu akau o lakou, ma ka papu e kokoke ana i ka puu o More.
1Then Jerobaal, who is the same as Gedeon, rising up early and all the people with him, came to the fountain that is called Harad. Now the camp of Madian was in the valley on the north side of the high hill.
2I mai la o Iehova ia Gideona, Ua nui loa ka poe kanaka me oe, nolaila, aole pono ia'u ke haawi i ko Midiana i ko lakou lima, o hookiekie auanei ka Iseraela imua o'u me ka olelo iho, Na kuu lima iho wau i hoola mai nei.
2And the Lord said to Gedeon: The people that are with thee are many, and Madian shall not be delivered into their hands: lest Israel should glory against me, and say: I was delivered by my own strength.
3No ia mea la ea, e hea aku oe ma na pepeiao o kanaka, e i aku, O ka mea hopohopo, a makau hoi, e hoi ia, a e haalele i ka mauna o Gileada. A hoi aku la, he iwakaluakumamalua tausani kanaka, a koe iho he umi tausani.
3Speak to the people, and proclaim in the hearing of all, I Whosoever is fearful and timorous, let him return. So two and twenty thousand men went away from mount Galaad and returned home, and only ten thousand remained.
4I mai la o Iehova ia Gideona, Ua nui loa na kanaka i koe. E kai mai oe ia lakou ilalo i ka wai, a na'u no e hoao ia lakou nou malaila; a o ka mea a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe, Eia ka mea hele me oe, oia ke hele; a o ka mea a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe, aole hele keia me oe, aole ia e hele.
4And the Lord said to Gedeon: The people are still too many, bring them to the waters, and there I will try them: and of whom I shall say to thee, This shall go with thee, let him go: whom I shall forbid to go, let him return.
5Kai mai la ia i kanaka ilalo i ka wai; i iho la o Iehova ia Gideona, O kela mea keia mea, e palu ana i ka wai, me kona alelo, e like me ko ka ilio palu ana, oia kau e hoonoho ai ma o lakou la; a pela hoi kela mea keia mea e kukuli iho ma kona mau kuli e inu.
5And when the people were come down to the waters, the Lord said to Gedeon: They that shall lap the water with their tongues, as dogs are wont to lap, thou shalt set apart by themselves: but they that shall drink bowing down their knees, shall be on the other side.
6A o ka helu ana i ka poe i palu, e kapi ana ka lima, a i ko lakou waha, ekolu haneri kanaka. Aka, o na kanaka e a pau loa, kukuli iho la lakou a pau ma ko lakou mau kuli, e inu wai.
6And the number of them that had lapped water, casting it with the hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: and all the rest of the multitude had drunk kneeling.
7I mai la o Iehova ia Gideona, Ma keia poe kanaka, ekolu haneri, ka poe i palu e hoola aku ai au ia oukou, a e haawi iho no i ko Midiana i kou lima; e kuu aku hoi i na kanaka e a pau, e hoi i ko lakou wahi.
7And the Lord said to Gedeon: By the three hundred men, that lapped water, I will save you, and deliver Madian into thy hand: but let all the rest of the people return to their place.
8Lawe na kanaka i wahi o, ma ko lakou lima, a me ko lakou mau pu; a hoouna aku la ia i ka Iseraela a pau, i kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona halelewa iho, a hookoe iho i kela poe kanaka, ekolu haneri. A aia hoi ka puali o ko Midiana malalo iho ona, ma ka papu.
8So taking victuals and trumpets according to their number, he ordered all the rest of the multitude to depart to their tents: and he with the three hundred gave himself to the battle. Now the camp of Madian was beneath him in the valley.
9Ia po iho, olelo mai o Iehova ia ia, E ala ae, a e iho ilalo i ka puali; no ka mea, ua hoolilo au ia lakou i kou lima.
9The same night the Lord said to him: Arise, and go down into the camp: because I have delivered them into thy hand.
10Aka, ina makau oe ke iho ilalo, e hele pu olua me kou kanaka me Pura, a hiki i ka puali.
10But if thou be afraid to go alone, let Phara thy servant go down with thee.
11E hoolohe oe i ka mea a lakou e olelo ai, a mahope iho, e ikaika auanei kou lima ke iho ilalo i ka puali. Alaila, iho aku la ia ilalo me Pura kona kanaka, a hiki i ka welau o ka poe kaua ma ka puali.
11And when thou shalt hear what they are saying, then shall thy hands be strengthened, and thou shalt go down more secure to the enemies’ camp. And he went down with Phara his servant into part of the camp, where was the watch of men in arms.
12E moe ana ko Midiana a me ka Ameleka, a me na kanaka a pau o ka hikina, ma kahi papu, ua like me na uhini ka nui loa; a o ka lakou poe kamelo, aole i pau i ka heluia, ua like me na one o kahakai ka nui.
12But Madian and Amalec, and all the eastern people lay scattered in the valley, as a multitude of locusts: their camels also were innumerable as the sand that lieth on the sea shore.
13A hiki aku la o Gideona, aia hoi, e hai ana kekahi kanaka i ka moe i kona hoa, i ae la, Ua moe au i ka moe, aia hoi, he popo palaoa huluhulu i olokaa mai nei iloko o ka puali o ko Midiana, a hiki i kekahi halelewa, pa aku ia, a hina ia, a hoohiolo, mai luna mai, a palaha ae la ka halelewa.
13And when Gedeon was come, one told his neighbour a dream: and in this manner related what he had seen: I dreamt a dream, and it seemed to me as if a hearth cake of barley bread rolled and came down into the camp of Madian: and when it was come to a tent it struck it, and beat it down flat to the ground.
14I ae la kona hoa ia ia, Aole keia he mea e, o ka pahikaua wale no a Gideona, ke keiki a Ioasa, he kanaka no ka Iseraela. Ua hoolilo o Iehova i ko Midiana, a me ka puali a pau i kona lima.
14He to whom he spoke, answered: This is nothing else but the sword of Gedeon the son of Joas a man of Israel. For the Lord hath delivered Madian, and all their camp into his hand.
15A i ka manawa i lohe ai o Gideona i ka hai ana o ka moe, a me ka hoakakaia, hoomana aku la ia, a hoi hou aku la i ka puali o ka Iseraela, i iho la, E ku ae iluna, no ka mea, ua hoolilo o Iehova i ka puali o ko Midiana i ko oukou lima.
15And when Gedeon had heard the dream, and the interpretation thereof, he adored: and returned to the camp of Israel, and said: Arise, for the Lord hath delivered the camp of Madian into our hands.
16Mahele ae la oia i kela poe kanaka ekolu haneri, i ekolu poe, a haawi ae la i na pu i ka lima o lakou a pau, a me ka ipu kaawale, he lamaku ko loko.
16And he divided the three hundred men into three parts, and gave them trumpets in their hands, and empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
17I aku la ia lakou, E nana mai oukou ia'u, a e hana like, aia hiki aku la au i ka palena o kahi e hoomoana'i, e like me ka'u hana ana, pela oukou e hana'i.
17And he said to them: What you shall see me do, do you the same: I will go into one part of the camp, and do you as I shall do.
18A i puhi aku au i ka pu, ea, owau, a me ka poe me au, alaila, e puhi oukou i na pu ma na aoao a pau o kahi hoomoana'i a pau, me ka i aku, No Iehova a me Gideona.
18When the trumpet shall sound in my hand, do you also blow the trumpets on every side of the camp.
19Alaila, hele mai la o Gideona, a me ka haneri kanaka pu me ia, a hiki i ka palena o kahi hoomoana'i i ka mua o ka wati waena, akahi no lakou i hoonoho ia wati. Puhi iho la lakou i ka pu, a wawahi ae la na ipu ma ko lakou mau lima.
19And Gedeon, and the three hundred men that were with him, went into part of the camp, at the beginning of the midnight watch, and the watchmen being alarmed, they began to sound their trumpets, and to clap the pitchers one against another.
20O kela mau poe ekolu, puhi no lakou i na pu, a wawahi ae la i na ipu, a paa iho la na lama ma ko lakou mau lima hema, a o na pu ma ko lakou mau lima akau, e puhi. Hea aku la lakou, Ka pahikaua a Iehova a me Gideona.
20And when they sounded their trumpets in three places round about the camp, and had broken their pitchers, they held their lamps in their left hands, and with their right hands the trumpets which they blew, and they cried out: The sword of the Lord and of Gedeon;
21Ku no kela kanaka keia kanaka ma kona wahi iho, a puni kahi i hoomoana'i. Holo aku la ka puali a pau, a uwa aku la, a hee.
21Standing every man in his place round about the enemies’ camp. So all the camp was troubled, and crying out and howling they fled away.
22Puhi iho la na haneri ekolu i ka pu, a hookau mai la o Iehova i ka pahikaua a kela kanaka keia kanaka maluna o lakou iho, ma ka puali a pau; a holo aku la ka puali, a hiki i Betesita, ma Zererata, ma ka mokuna o Abelamehola, a me Tabata.
22And the three hundred men nevertheless persisted sounding the trumpets. And the Lord sent the sword into all the camp, and they killed one another,
23A akoakoa mai la na kanaka o Iseraela, no ka Napetali mai, a no ka Asera mai, a no ka Manase mai, a hahai aku la i ko Midiana.
23Fleeing as far as Bethsetta, and the border of Abelmahula in Tebbath. But the men of Israel shouting from Nephtali and Aser, and from all Manasses pursued after Madian.
24Hoouna aku la o Gideona i mau elele ma ka mauna a pau o Eperaima, i aku la, E iho mai oukou e halawai me ko Midiana, a e lawe lilo i ko lakou wai, a hiki i Betebara, a me Ioredane. Alaila akoakoa mai na kanaka o Eperaima, a lilo ia lakou na wai, a hiki i Betebara, a me Ioredane:
24And Gedeon sent messengers into all mount Ephraim, saying: Come down to meet Madian, and take the waters before them to Bethbera and the Jordan. And all Ephraim shouted, and took the waters before them and the Jordan as far as Bethbera.
25A pio ia lakou na'lii elua o ko Midiana, o Oreba, a me Zeeba; a pepehi lakou ia Oreba ma Pohaku Oreba, a pepehi lakou ia Zeeba ma Pawaina-Zeba, A hahai lakou i ko Midiana, a lawe mai la i na poo o Oreba a me Zeeba ia Gideona ma kela aoao o Ioredane.
25And having taken two men of Madian, Oreb and Zeb: Oreb they slew in the rock of Oreb, and Zeb in the winepress of Zeb. And they pursued Madian, carrying the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon beyond the waters of the Jordan.
