Judges 20
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD at Mizpah.
1A LAILA, hele aku la na mamo A a pau o ka Iseraela, a akoakoa ae la ia poe, me he kanaka hookahi la, mai Dana, a hiki i Beereseba, a me ko ka aina o Gileada, a io Iehova la i Mizepa.
2And the chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword. —
2Ku mai la na luna o na kanaka a pau, no na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela maloko o ka ahakanaka o ke Akua, eha haneri tausani kanaka i hele wawae, me ka unuhi i ka pahikaua.
3Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpah. — And the children of Israel said: 'Tell us, how was this wickedness brought to pass?'
3(Lohe iho la na mamo a Beniamina, ua pii aku na mamo a Iseraela i Mizepa.) Alaila, olelo mai na mamo a Iseraela, E hai mai oukou: pehea la keia hewa?
4And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, answered and said: 'I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
4Olelo aku la ka Levi, ke kane a ka wahine i pepehiia, i aku la, I ko'u hele ana i Gibea no Beniamina, owau a me ka'u haiawahine, a moe ilaila;
5And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night; me they thought to have slain, and my concubine they forced, and she is dead.
5Kuee mai la na kanaka o Gibea ia'u, a hoopuni iho la lakou i ka hale maluna o'u, i ka po, manao iho la e pepehi mai ia'u; a hoohaahaa iho la lakou i ka'u haiawahine, a ua make loa ia.
6And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and wantonness in Israel.
6Lalau aku la au i ka'u haiawahine, oki liilii iho la, a hoouna aku la i na aina a pau i ili mai ai i ka Iseraela; no ka mea, ua hana lakou ma ka moe kolohe a me ka lapuwale iloko o ka Iseraela.
7Behold, ye are all here, children of Israel, give here your advice and council.'
7Aia hoi, he poe mamo oukou a pau na Iseraela. E haawi mai i ko oukou manao a me ka oukou pono.
8And all the people arose as one man, saying: 'We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn unto his house.
8Ku mai la na kanaka a pau me he kanaka hookahi la, i mai la, Aole kekahi o kakou e hele i kona halelewa, aole hoi kekahi o kakou e hoi i kona hale.
9But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot;
9Eia ka mea a kakou e hana aku ai ia Gibea, ma ka hailona e ku e ia ia.
10and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victuals for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the wantonness that they have wrought in Israel.'
10E lawe kakou i umi kanaka o ka haneri, no na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, a he haneri no ka tausani, a he tausani no ka umi tausani, na lakou no e lawe mai i ka ai na na kanaka, i hana lakou i ko Gibea no Beniamina, ke hiki lakou ilaila, e like me ka mea lapuwale a pau a lakou i hana'i maloko o ka Iseraela.
11So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
11Alaila, hoakoakoa mai la na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, e ku e i ua kulanakauhale la, ua huipu e like me ke kanaka hookahi.
12And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying: 'What wickedness is this that is come to pass among you?
12Hoouna aku la na ohana o Iseraela i kanaka ma ka ohana a pau o Beniamina, i aku la, Heaha keia hewa i hanaia iwaena o oukou?
13Now therefore deliver up the men, the base fellows that are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel.' But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
13Nolaila ea, e haawi mai oukou ia poe kanaka i na kanaka hewa hoi ma Gibea, i pepehi aku makou ia lakou, a hoopau aku i ka hewa, mai Iseraela aku. Aole i hoolohe mai ka Beniamina i ka leo o ko lakou poe hoahanau, na mamo a Iseraela.
14And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of their cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
14Hoakoakoa mai la na mamo a Beniamina, mailoko mai o na kulanakauhale ma Gibea, e hele aku e kaua me na mamo a Iseraela.
15And the children of Benjamin numbered on that day out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who numbered seven hundred chosen men.
15Ua heluia na mamo a Beniamina ia la, mailoko mai o na kulanakauhale, he iwakaluakumamaono tausani kanaka i unuhi i ka pahikaua, a koe aku ka poe i noho ma Gibea, a heluia lakou, ehiku haneri kanaka i waeia.
16All this people, even seven hundred chosen men, were left-handed; every one could sling stones at a hair-breadth, and not miss.
16Iloko o ia poe kanaka a pau, ehiku haneri kanaka i waeia, he poe lima hema; e hiki no ia lakou a pau ke maa aku i ka pohaku i ka lauoho, aole hoi e hala.
17And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword; all these were men of war.
17A o na kanaka o ka Iseraela i heluia, eha haneri tausani lakou i unuhi i ka pahikaua, a koe aku ka Beniamina. He poe kanaka kaua keia a pau.
18And the children of Israel arose, and went up to Beth-el, and asked counsel of God; and they said: 'Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin?' And the LORD said: 'Judah first.'
18Ku mai la na mamo a Iseraela, a pii aku la i ka hale o ke Akua, ninau aku la i ke Akua, I aku la, Owai ko makou mea e pii mua aku ai, e kaua aku i na mamo a Beniamina? I mai la o Iehova, O Iuda mua.
19And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
19Ku mai la na mamo o ka Iseraela i kakahiaka, a hoonohonoho ku e aku la ia Gibea.
20And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.
20Hele aku la na kanaka o Iseraela e kaua aku i ka Beniamina; a hoomakaukau iho na kanaka o Iseraela e kana aku ia lakou ma Gibea.
21And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty and two thousand men.
21Puka mai la na mamo a Beniamina, mailoko mai o Gibea, a luku iho la ilalo i ka lepo ia la, he iwakaluakumamalua tausani kanaka o ka Iseraela.
22And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.
22Hooikaika iho la na kanaka o ka Iseraela, a hoomakaukau e hoouka hou i ke kaua ma kahi a lakou i hoouka ai i ka la mua.
23And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even; and they asked of the LORD, saying: 'Shall I again draw nigh to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?' And the LORD said: 'Go up against him.'
23(Pii aku la na mamo a Iseraela, a uwe aku la imua o Iehova, a ahiahi, ninau aku la ia Iehova, i aku la, E pii hou anei au e kaua aku i na keiki a Beniamina, a kuu kaikaina? I mai la o Iehova, E pii ku e ia ia.)
24And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
24A i ka lua o ka la hookokoke mai na mamo a Iseraela e ku e i na mamo a Beniamina.
25And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
25Puka mai la ka Beniamina mailoko mai o Gibea, i ka lua o ka la, a luku honua mai la i na mamo a Iseraela, he umikumamawalu tausani kanaka he poe unuhi pahikaua keia a pau.
26Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto Beth-el, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even; and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the LORD.
26Alaila, pii aku la na mamo a Iseraela, a me na kanaka a pau, a hiki aku la i ka hale o ke Akua, a uwe aku la, a noho iho la imua o Iehova, a hookeai iho la ia la a po, a mohai aku la i na mohaikuni, a me na mohaimakana, imua o Iehova.
27And the children of Israel asked of the LORD — for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
27Ninau aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova, (no ka mea, malaila no ka pahuberita o ke Akua ia mau la,
28and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days — saying: 'Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?' And the LORD said: 'Go up; for to-morrow I will deliver him into thy hand.'
28O Pinehasa, ke keiki a Eleazara ke keiki a Aarona, ka i ku imua ona ia mau la,) e aku la, E hele hou anei au e kaua aku i na mamo a Beniamina, a kuu kaikaina, e oki anei? I mai la o Iehova, O pii, no ka mea, apopo, e haawi au ia lakou iloko o kou lima.
29And Israel set liers-in-wait against Gibeah round about.
29Hoonoho iho la ka Iseraela i poe hoohalua a puni o Gibea.
30And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
30Pii aku la na mamo a Iseraela e ku e i na mamo a Beniamina, i ke kolu o ka la, a hoomakaukau e kaua i ko Gibea e like me na wa mamua.
31And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite and kill of the people, as at other times, in the field, in the highways, of which one goeth up to Beth-el, and the other to Gibeah, about thirty men of Israel.
31Puka aku la na mamo a Beniamina e ku e i kanaka, a kaiia'ku la lakou, mai ke kulanakauhale aku; a hoomaka e luku aku i kanaka, me ka hou aku e like me ka wa mamua, ma na ala e pii aku ai i Betela, a i na kula o Gibea kekahi, he kanakolu paha kanaka o Iseraela.
32And the children of Benjamin said: 'They are smitten down before us, as at the first.' But the children of Israel said: 'Let us flee, and draw them away from the city unto the highways.'
32I iho la na mamo a Beniamina, Ua lukuia lakou imua o kakou e like me ka wa mamua. Olelo no hoi na mamo a Iseraela, E hee kakou, a e kai aku ia lakou, mai ke kulanakauhale aku, a i na alanui.
33And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal-tamar; and the liers-in-wait of Israel broke forth out of their place, even out of Maareh-geba.
33Ku mai la na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, mai ko lakou wahi mai, a hoomakaukau iho la e kaua ma Baalatamara. A o ka poe hoohalua o ka Iseraela, lulumi mai la lakou mailoko mai o ko lakou wahi, mai na kula mai o Gibea.
34And there came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore; but they knew not that evil was close upon them.
34Hele ku e mai la ia Gibea, he umi tausani kanaka i waeia mailoko mai o ka Iseraela a pau, a ikaika loa iho la ke kaua; aole nae lakou i ike, ua kokoke mai ka hewa ia lakou.
35And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty and five thousand and a hundred men; all these drew the sword.
35Luku mai la o Iehova i ka Beniamina imua o ka Iseraela. Luku ae la na mamo a Iseraela i ka Beniamina ia la, he iwakaluakumamalima tausani kanaka, hookahi haneri keu; unuhi keia poe a pau i ka pahikaua.
36So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten. And the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted unto the liers-in-wait whom they had set against Gibeah. —
36Ike iho la na mamo a Beniamina, ua lukuia lakou; no ka mea, haawi ae la no hoi na kanaka o Iseraela i wahi no ka Beniamina, no ko lakou manao ana i ka poe hoohalua a lakou i hoonoho ai ma Gibea.
37And the liers-in-wait hastened, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers-in-wait drew forth, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
37A o ka poe hoohalua, wikiwiki iho lakou, a lele aku ia Gibea, a hoopalahalaha ae la ia lakou iho, a luku aku la i ua kulanakauhale la.
38Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers-in-wait, that they should make a great beacon of smoke rise up out of the city. —
38Ua hoomaopopoia ka manawa i na kanaka o ka Iseraela, a me ka poe hoohalua, i hana lakou i ka uwahi, i mea punohu aku iluna, mailoko aku o ke kulanakauhale.
39And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said: 'Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.'
39A hee na kanaka o Iseraela i ke kaua, hoomaka iho la ko Beniamina e luku aku, me ka hou iho i kanaka o Iseraela, i kanakolu paha kanaka; no ka mea, olelo lakou, He oiaio no, ua lukuia lakou imua o kakou, e like me ke kaua mua ana.
40But when the beacon began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the whole of the city went up in smoke to heaven.
40A pii aku la ka lapalapa o ke ahi, mai ke kulanakauhale aku, a lilo i kiaao; alaila, nana aku la ko Beniamina mahope o lakou, aia hoi, punohu aku la ka wela ana o ke kulanakauhale a pau i ka lani.
41And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were amazed; for they saw that evil was come upon them.
41A huli hou na kanaka o Iseraela, alaila, hee pioloke iho la na kanaka o Beniamina; no ka mea, ua ike lakou ua hiki mai ka hewa maluna o lakou.
42Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and they that came out of the city destroyed them in the midst of the men of Israel.
42Nolaila, huli lakou, mai ke alo aku o na kanaka o ka Iseraela, a i ke ala e hiki aku ai i ka waonahele; aka, hahai no ke kaua ia lakou, a luku no lakou i ka poe mailoko mai o na kauhale iwaenakonu o lakou.
43They inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and overtook them at their resting-place, as far as over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.
43Hoopuni iho la lakou i ko Beniamina, a hahai aku la ia lakou, a hahi iho la maluna o lakou ma Menuka, ma ke alo o Gibea, ma ka hikina o ka la.
44And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour.
44He umikumamawalu tausani kanaka o Beniamina i haule, he poe kanaka koa keia a pau.
45And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon; and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and followed hard after them unto Gidom, and smote of them two thousand men.
45Huli lakou, a pee aku i ka waonahele, i ka pohaku o Rimona; a hoiliili lakou i ke koena ma na alanui, elima tausani kanaka, a hahai aku ia lakou a hiki i Gidoma, a luku aku la i elua tausani kanaka.
46So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour.
46A o na kanaka a pau o Beniamina i haule. he iwakaluakumamalima tausani kanaka i unuhi i ka pahikaua. He poe kanaka koa keia a pau.
47But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon, and abode in the rock of Rimmon four months.
47Eono haneri kanaka i huli a pee i ka waonahele, malalo o ka pohaku o Rimona, a noho ma ka pohaku o Rimona, i eha malama.
48And the men of Israel turned back upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the cattle, and all that they found; moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.
48Huli hou na kanaka o Iseraela e alo i na mamo a Beniamina, a luku aku la ia lakou i ka maka o ka pahikaua, mai na kanaka aku a na holoholona, a me na mea a pau, i loaa ia lakou. A puhi iho la lakou i na kulanakauhale a pau i ke ahi, ma na wahi a lakou i hiki aku ai.
