Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1HELE aku la o Abimeleka, ke keiki a Ierubaala, i Sekema, i na hoahanau o kona makuwahine, a ohumu pu iho la me lakou a me ka ohana a pau o ka makuakane o kona makuwahine, i ae la,
1And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother’s brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying,
2Ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e olelo aku oukou ma na pepeiao o na kanaka o Sekema, Heaha ka maikai ia oukou, i lilo na kanaka, he kanahiku, i alii maluna o oukou, oia hoi na keiki a pau o Ierubaala, i lilo paha ke kanaka hookahi i alii maluna o oukou? E hoomanao hoi, no ko oukou iwi au, a no ko oukou io.
2Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.
3Olelo aku la na hoahanau o kona makuwahine nona, ma na pepeiao o na kanaka a pau o Sekema, i keia mau olelo a pau. Hahai aku la ko lakou naau mamuli o Abimeleka; no ka mea, i ae la lakou, Oia ko kakou kaikaina.
3And his mother’s brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother.
4Haawi mai la lakou ia ia i kanahiku moni, noloko mai o ka hale o Baalaberita, a me ia o Abimeleka i hoolimalima aku ai i kanaka hewa, lapuwale, a hahai aku la lakou mamuli ona.
4And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baal-berith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him.
5Hele aku la oia i ka hale o kona makuakane, ma Opera, a pepehi aku la i kona poe hoahanau, i na keiki a Ierubaala, he kanahiku kanaka, ma ka pohaku hookahi. Koe no nae o Iotama ke keikikane muli loa a Ierubaala, no ka mea, ua pee oia.
5And he went unto his father’s house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being threescore and ten persons, upon one stone: notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself.
6Akoakoa mai la na kanaka a pau o Sekema, a me ko ka hale a pau o Milo, a hele ae la, a hoalii iho la ia Abimeleka ma ka laau oka, ma ka pakaua o Sekema.
6And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.
7A hai ae la lakou ia Iotama, alaila, hele aku la ia, a ku iho la maluna o ka piko o ka mauna o Gerizima, a hookiekie ae la i kona leo, hea aku la, i aku la ia lakou, E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e na kanaka o Sekema, a e hoolohe mai hoi ke Akua ia oukou.
7¶ And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.
8Hele aku la na laau e poni i alii no lakou. I aku la lakou i ka laau oliva, I alii oe maluna o makou.
8The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
9I mai la ka laau oliva ia lakou, E haalele anei au i ko'u momona, ka mea a lakou e hoomaikai ai i ke Akua, a me kanaka, ma o'u nei, a hele e hoalii maluna o na laau?
9But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
10Alaila, olelo aku la na laau i ka laau fiku, E hele mai oe e noho alii maluna o makou.
10And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.
11I mai la ka laau fiku ia lakou, E haalele anei au i ko'u ono, a me ko'u hua maikai, a hele e noho alii maluna o na laau?
11But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
12Alaila, olelo aku la na laau i ke kumu waina, E hele mai oe, a noho i alii maluna o makou.
12Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us.
13I mai la ke kumu waina ia lakou, E haalele anei au i ko'u waina, ka mea e lealea ai ke Akua a me kanaka, a hele e noho alii maluna o na laau?
13And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
14Alaila, olelo aku la na laau a pau i ka laauooi, E hele mai oe a noho alii maluna o makou.
14Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.
15I mai la ka laauooi i na laau, Ina e poni oiaio mai oukou ia'u, i alii maluna o oukou, alaila, e hele mai oukou e kanaho malalo iho o ko'u malu; a i ole hoi, alaila, e puka aku no ke ahi, mai ka laauooi aku, a hoopau i na laau kedera o Lebanona.
15And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
16Ina i hana oukou me ka oiaio, a me ka pono, i ko oukou hoalii ana ia Abimeleka, a ina i hana maikai oukou ia Ierubaala, a me kona poe, a ina i hana oukou ia ia e like me ka pono o kona mau lima:
16Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;
17(No ka mea, kaua no ko'u makuakane no oukou, a kiola aku la i kona ola iho, a hoopakele ia oukou, mai ka lima ae o ko Midiana;
17(For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:
18A ua ku mai oukou i keia la, e ku e i ko ka hale o ko'u makuakane, a ua luku mai i kana poe keikikane, he kanahiku, maluna o ka pohaku hookahi, a ua hoolilo ia Abimeleka, i ke keiki a kana haia wahine, i alii maluna o kanaka o Sekema, no ka mea, o ko oukou hoahanau ia;)
18And ye are risen up against my father’s house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;)
19Nolaila, ina i hana oukou i keia la me ka oiaio, a me ka pono ia Ierubaala, a me ko kona hale, alaila, e olioli oukou ia Abimeleka, a e olioli no hoi oia ia oukou:
19If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:
20A i ole, alaila, e puka mai ke ahi mai Abimeleka mai, a e hoopau i na kanaka o Sekema, a me ko ka hale o Milo; a e puka mai ke ahi mai na kanaka mai o Sekema, a mai ka hale mai o Milo, a e hoopau ia Abimeleka.
20But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.
21Holo aku la o Iotama, a pee aku la, a hele aku i Beera, a noho iho la malaila, no ka makau ia Abimeleka i kona hoahanau.
21And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.
22A noho alii o Abimeleka maluna o ka Iseraela, i ekolu makahiki,
22¶ When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,
23Alaila, haawi mai la ke Akua i manao hewa mawaena o Abimeleka, a me na kanaka o Sekema; a hana hoopunipuni aku la na kanaka o Sekema ia Abimeleka:
23Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
24I kau mai ka lokoinoia o na keiki a Ierubaala, he kanahiku, a me ko lakou koko, i kau mai ia maluna o Abimeleka, o ko lakou kaikaina, ka mea i luku mai ia lakou, a maluna hoi o na kanaka o Sekema, ka poe i hooikaika i kona lima e luku i kona poe hoahanau.
24That the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren.
25Hoonoho iho la na luna o Sekema i poe hoohalua ia ia, maluna iho o na mauna; a hoohalua aku la lakou i ka poe a pau i hele ae ma ia ala io lakou la, a ua haiia ia Abimeleka.
25And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech.
26Hele mai la o Gaala ke keiki a Ebeda, oia, a me kona poe hoahanau, hele ae la lakou, a Sekema; a hilinai na kanaka o Sekema ia ia.
26And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.
27Hele aku la lakou i na mahinaai, hoiliili ae la i ko ka malawaina o lakou, hahi iho la, a hula ae la, a komo aku la iloko o ka hale o ko lakou akua, ai iho la, a inu, a hoino aku la ia Abimeleka.
27And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode the grapes , and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech.
28I mai la Gaala, ke keiki a Ebeda, Owai o Abimeleka, a owai hoi o Sekema, i malama aku kakou ia ia? Aole anei ia ke keiki a Ierubaala, a o Zebula kona luna? E malama oukou i kanaka o Hamora, i ka makuakane o Sekema. No ke aha kakou e malama ia ia nei?
28And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?
29Ina e noho ana keia poe kanaka malalo iho o ko'u lima! alaila, kipaku aku au ia Abimeleka. I aku la oia ia Abimeleka, E hoomahuahua oe i kou poe koa, a e puka mai iwaho.
29And would to God this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out.
30A lohe o Zebula, ka luna o ia kulanakauhale, i na olelo a Gaala, ke keiki a Ebeda, wela iho la kona huhu.
30¶ And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.
31Hoouna aku la ia i mau elele ia Abimeleka, me ka wahahee aku, i aku la, Aia hoi, o Gaala, ke keiki a Ebeda, a me kona poe hoahanau, ua hele mai i Sekema; aia hoi e hoopilikia ana lakou i ke kulanakauhale, e ku e ia oe.
31And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee.
32Nolaila, e ala oe i ka po, o oe, a me na kanaka pu me oe, a e hoohalua ma ke kula.
32Now therefore up by night, thou and the people that is with thee, and lie in wait in the field:
33A i kakahiaka, i ka puka ana a ka la, alaila, e ala koke oe a e kaua aku i ua kulanakauhale la, aia puka mai ia iwaho, a me ka poe kanaka me ia, e ku e ia oe, alaila, e hana aku oe ia lakou i ka mea i loaa i kou lima.
33And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city: and, behold, when he and the people that is with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion.
34Ala mai la o Abimeleka i ka po, a me na kanaka a pau pu me ia, a hoohalua lakou ia Sekema, eha poe lakou.
34¶ And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies.
35Hele aku la o Gaala, ke keiki a Ebeda iwaho, a ku ma kahi e komo ai i ka puka o ke kulanakauhale. Ala mai la o Abimeleka, mai kona hoohalua ana, a me na kanaka pu me ia.
35And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from lying in wait.
36A ike aku la o Gaala i na kanaka, i ae la ia ia Zebula, Aia hoi, ke iho mai la na kanaka, mai ka piko o ka mauna mai. I ae la o Zebula ia ia, O ke aka o na mauna kau e ike nei, me he poe kanaka la.
36And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.
37Olelo hou aku o Gaala, i aku la, Aia, ke iho mai nei na kanaka mawaena pono o ka aina, a aia kekahi poe, ke hele mai la, ma ka laau oka o Meonenima.
37And Gaal spake again and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim.
38Alaila, olelo mai o Zebula ia ia, Auhea hoi kou waha, ka mea au i olelo ai, Owai o Abimeleka, i hookauwa aku kakou nana? Aole anei keia ka poe kanaka au i hoowahawaha ai? O ko'u manao, e hele aku oe iwaho, a kaua aku ia lakou.
38Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, and fight with them.
39Hele aku la o Gaala imua o na kanaka o Sekema, a kaua aku la ia Abimeleka.
39And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
40Hahai mai la o Abimeleka ia ia, a hee ae la keia imua ona, a nui ka poe i oia, a hina ilalo, a hiki i ke komo ana i ka puka.
40And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even unto the entering of the gate.
41Noho iho la o Abimeleka ma Aruma. Kipaku aku la o Zebula ia Gaala, a me kona poe hoahanau, i noho ole lakou ma Sekema.
41And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem.
42A ia la iho, hele aku la na kanaka, a i kahi papu, a ua haiia ia Abimeleka.
42And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech.
43Alaila mahele ae la ia i kanaka, ekolu poe, hoohalua iho la ma kahi papu. Nana aku la oia, aia hoi, ua puka mai na kanaka, mailoko mai o ke kulanakauhale. Ala ae la keia e ku e ia lakou, a luku aku la ia lakou.
43And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people were come forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them.
44A o Abimeleka a me ka poe pu me ia, hoouka iho la lakou, a ku ma kahi e komo aku i ka puka o ke kulanakauhale. A lele aku la kela mau poe elua, maluna o na mea a pau ma ke kula, a luku iho la ia lakou.
44And Abimelech, and the company that was with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and slew them.
45Kaua aku la o Abimeleka i ke kulanakauhale, a po ia la, a hoopio iho la ia kulanakauhale, a luku ae la i na kanaka a pau maloko, a wawahi aku la i ke kulanakauhale, a lulu iho la i ka paakai malaila.
45And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that was therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.
46A lohe na kanaka a pau o ka halekiai o Sekema, alaila komo lakou iloko o kahi kaua o ka hale akua o Berita.
46¶ And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that , they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith.
47Haiia'ku la ia Abimeleka, ua akoakoa na kanaka a pau o ka halekiai o Sekema.
47And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
48Pii aku la o Abimeleka i ka mauna o Zalemona, oia, a me na kanaka a pau pu me ia; a lawe o Abimeleka i ke koi lipi ma kona lima, a kua iho la i lala laau, a hapai ae la, a kau iluna o kona a-i, a olelo aku la i kanaka, O ka mea a oukou i ike mai ai ia'u, e hana ana, e wikiwiki oukou e hana, e like me au nei.
48And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done .
49Oki iho la na kanaka a pau, o kela kanaka o keia kanaka, i kana lala, a hahai lakou ia Abimeleka, a waiho iho la ia mau mea ma ka hale kaua, a puhi iho la i ka hale kaua i ke ahi maluna o lakou. Pela i make ai na kanaka a pau o ka halekiai o Sekema, hookahi tausani kane a me na wahine.
49And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
50Alaila, hele aku la o Abimeleka, a Tebeza, a kaua aku la ia Tebeza, a hoopio iho la ia wahi.
50¶ Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.
51Aia maloko o ia kulanakauhale he halekaua ikaika, a malaila no i pee aku ai na kane a pau a me na wahine, a me na mea a pau o ke kulanakauhale, a pani iho la mahope o lakou, a pii aku la i kahi maluna o ka halekaua.
51But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower.
52Hele mai la o Abimeleka i ka halekaua, a kaua mai la ia, a hele kokoke mai i ka puka o ka halekaua, e puhi ia mea i ke ahi.
52And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
53A hoolei iho la kehahi wahine i ka pohaku kaa palaoa maluna iho o ke poo o Abimeleka, a wawahi i kona iwipoo.
53And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech’s head, and all to brake his skull.
54Alaila, hea koke ae la ia i ke kanaka ui i lawe i kona kahiko kaua, i aku la ia ia, E unuhi oe i kou pahi a e pepehi mai ia'u, i olelo ole mai ai na kanaka no'u, Na ka wahine ia i pepehi. Hou aku la kona kanaka ia ia, a make ia.
54Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
55A ike na kanaka o ka Iseraela ua make o Abimeleka, alaila hoi aku kela kanaka, keia kanaka i kona wahi.
55And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place.
56Pela i hoopai ai ke Akua i ka hewa o Abimeleka, ana i hana aku ai i kona makuakane, i kona pepehi ana i kona poe hoahanau he kanahiku.
56¶ Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:
57A hoopai no hoi ke Akua i ka hewa a pau o na kanaka o Sekema maluna o ko lakou poo iho. A maluna o lakou i hiki mai ai hoi ka hoino a Iotama, ke keiki a Ierubaala.
57And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
