Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
1HELE aku la o Rehoboama i Sekema, no ka mea, ua hele ka Iseraela a pau i Sekema e hooalii ia ia.
2When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in Egypt;
2Eia hoi kekahi, a lohe mai la o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata e noho ana ia ma Aigupita, (no ka mea, ua holo aku la ia mai ke alo aku o Solomona a ke alii, a noho no Ieroboama ma Aigupita;)
3and they sent and called him), Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
3Hoouna aku la lakou a kii ia ia; a hele mai Ieroboama a me ke anaina a pau o ka Iseraela, a olelo aku la lakou ia Hehoboama, i aku la.
4“Your father made our yoke difficult. Now therefore make the hard service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”
4Ua hookaumaha mai la kou makuakane i ka makou auamo; ano hoi e hoomama oe i ka hana ehaeha a kou makuakane, a me ka auamo kaumaha ana i kau mai ai maluna o makou, alaila e malama aku makou ia oe.
5He said to them, “Depart for three days, then come back to me.” So the people departed.
5I mai la oia ia lakou, O hoi oukou i na la ekolu, alaila e hele hou mai io'u nei. Hoi aku la no hoi na kanaka.
6King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me to answer these people?”
6A kukakuka mai la o Rehoboama me na kanaka kahiko, ka poe i ku ma ke alo o Solomona kona makuakane, i kona wa e ola ana, ninau mai la, Pehea ia oukou e olelo mai ai e hai aku au i keia poe kanaka?
7They replied, “If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them, and answer them with good words, then they will be your servants forever.”
7Olelo aku la lakou ia ia, i aku la, Ina e hookahu oe no keia poe kanaka i keia la, a e malama ia lakou, a e hai aku ia lakou, me ka olelo i na huaolelo pono ia lakou, alaila lilo lakou i poe kauwa mau nau.
8But he abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
8Haalele ae la oia i ka olelo a ka poe kanaka kahiko, a lakou i haawi ai ia ia, a kukakuka mai la me na kanaka ui i nunui pu ae me ia, na mea i ku imua o kona alo:
9He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may answer these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter’?”
9Olelo mai la hoi oia ia lakou, Heaha ka olelo a oukou e olelo mai ai, e hai aku ai kakou i keia poe kanaka, ka poe i olelo mai ia'u, i ka i aua mai, E hoomama oe i ka auamo a kou makuakane i kau mai ai maluna o makou?
10The young men who had grown up with him said to him, “Tell these people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter to us’—tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
10Olelo aku la hoi ia ia na kanaka ui i nunui pu ae me ia, i aku la, Penei oe e olelo aku ai i keia poe kanaka i olelo ae nei ia oe, i ka i ana'e, Ua hookaumaha mai la kou makuakane i ka makou auamo; aka, e hoomama mai oe ia mea ia makou; e olelo aku oe ia lakou peneia, E kela aku ka manoanoa o kuu limaiki i ko ka puhaka o ko'u makuakane.
11Now my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’”
11Eia hoi ua hooili ka ko'u makuakane i ka auamo kaumaha maluna o oukou, o hoouka hou aku au ma ka oukou auamo; ua hahau ko'u makuakane ia oukou me na huipa, aka, e hahau aku au ia oukou me na moohueloawa.
12So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.”
12Pela i hoi mai ai o Ieroboama a me ka poe kanaka a pau io Rehoboama la i ke kolu o ka la, e like me ka ke alii i hoomaopopo ai, i ka i ana mai, E hoi mai oukou io'u nei i ke kolu o ka la.
13The king answered the people roughly, and abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him,
13Hai mai la ke alii i kanaka me ka oolea, a ua haalele aku i ka olelo a ka poe kanaka kahiko, a lakou i haawi aku ai ia ia;
14and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”
14A olelo mai la hoi ia lakou mamuli o ka olelo a na kanaka ui, i mai la, Ua hookaumaha ko'u makuakane i ka oukou auamo, aka, e hoouka hou aku au ma ka oukou auamo; ua hahau ko'u makuakane ia oukou me na huipa, aka, e hahau aku wau ia oukou me na moohueloawa.
15So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was a thing brought about from the LORD, that he might establish his word, which the LORD spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
15Aole hoi i hoolohe ke alii i kanaka, no ka mea, no ka Haku mai no ia, i hooko mai oia i kana olelo a Iehova i olelo mai ai ma ka lima o Ahiia no Silo, ia Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata.
16When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion have we in David? We don’t have an inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So Israel departed to their tents.
16A ike ae la ka Iseraela a pau, i ka hoolohe ole mai o ke alii ia lakou, olelo aku la ka poe kanaka i ke alii, e i ana, Heaha ko makou kuleana iloko o Davida? aole hooilina iloko o ke keiki a Iese. I ko oukou mau halelewa, e ka Iseraela: ano hoi, e nana i kau ohana iho, e Davida. Pela i hoi ai ka Iseraela i ko lakou mau halelewa.
17But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
17A o na mamo a Iseraela e noho ana ma na kulanakauhale o Davida, ua alii ae la o Hehoboama maluna o lakou.
18Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
18Alaila hoouna ae la o Rehoboama ia Adorama, ka lunaauhau, a hailuku ka Iseraela a pau ia ia me na pohaku a make ia. Nolaila hele wikiwiki ae la o Rehoboama ke alii e ee ae i kona kaa, e holo i Ierusalema.
19So Israel rebelled against David’s house to this day.
19Pela i kipi ai ka Iseraela i ka ohana a Davida a hiki i keia la.
20When all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel. There was no one who followed David’s house, except for the tribe of Judah only.
20Eia kekahi, i ka lohe ana o ka Iseraela a pau, ua hoi mai o Ieroboama, kii aku la lakou ia ia e hele mai i ke anaina, a hooalii lakou ia ia maluna o ka Iseraela a pau. Aohe mea i hahai i ka ohana a Davida, o ka Iuda wale no.
21When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
21A hoi mai o Rehoboama i Ierusalema, hoakoakoa mai la oia i ka ohana a pau a Iuda, a me ka ohana a Beniamina, hookahi haneri me kanawalu tausani kanaka i waeia, na kanaka kaua, e kaua aku i ka ohana a Iseraela e hoihoi mai i ke aupuni ia Rehoboama ke keiki a Solomona.
22But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
22Aka, hiki mai ka olelo a ke Akua, ia Semaia, ke kanaka o ke Akua, i mai la,
23“Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,
23E olelo aku ia Rehoboama ke keiki a Solomona, ke alii o Iuda, a i ka ohana a pau a Iuda, a me Beniamina, a me ke koena o na kanaka, e i aku,
24‘The LORD says, “You shall not go up or fight against your brothers, the children of Israel. Everyone return to his house; for this thing is from me.”’” So they listened to the LORD’s word, and returned and went their way, according to the LORD’s word.
24Ke i mai nei Iehova penei, Mai pii aku oukou, aole hoi e kaua aku i ko oukou poe hoahanau na mamo a Iseraela, e hoi kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hale iho, no ka mea, no'u aku nei keia mea. Hoolohe aku la lakou i ka olelo a ka Haku, a huli lakou e hoi e like me ka olelo a Iehova.
25Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and lived in it; and he went out from there and built Penuel.
25Alaila kukulu ae la o Ieroboama ia Sekema ma ka mauna Eperaima, a noho ae la malaila; a hele aku malaila aku, a kukulu ae la ia Penuela.
26Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom will return to David’s house.
26I iho la o Ieroboama iloko o kona naau, Ano, e hoi aku ai ke aupuni i ka ohana a Davida.
27If this people goes up to offer sacrifices in the LORD’s house at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.”
27Ina e pii ae keia poe kanaka e kaumaha ma ka hale o Iehova, ma Ierusalema, alaila e hoi ka naau o keia poe kanaka i ko lakou haku ia Rehoboama ke alii o Iuda, a e pepehi mai lakou ia'u, a e hoi hou aku ia Rehoboama i ke alii o Iuda.
28So the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said to them, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Look and behold your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
28Nolaila kuka iho la ke alii, a hana i na keikibipi gula elua, a i mai la oia ia lakou, He nui ko oukou hele ana i Ierusalema: Eia hoi kou mau akua, e Iseraela, i lawe mai ia oe mai ka aina mai o Aigupita.
29He set the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
29Kukulu ae la hoi oia i kekahi ma Betela, a waiho aku hoi i kekahi ma Dana.
30This thing became a sin, for the people went even as far as Dan to worship before the one there.
30Lilo ae la keia mea i hewa, no ka mea, ua hele ae la na kanaka imua o kekahi i Dana.
31He made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
31Hana iho la oia i hale no na wahi kiekie, a hoolilo ae la i kekahi mau makaainana i poe kahuna, aole o ko na mamo a Levi.
32Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah, and he went up to the altar. He did so in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made, and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.
32Hana iho la hoi o Ieroboama i ka ahaaina i ka walu o ka malama i ka umikumamalima o ka la, e like me ka ahaaina maloko o Iuda, a kaumaha aku la maluna o ke kuahu. Pela oia i hana'i ma Betela, e kaumaha ana no na keikibipi ana i hana'i; a hoonoho aku la oia ma Betela i na kahuna o na wahi kiekie ana i hana'i.
33He went up to the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up to the altar to burn incense.
33Pela oia i kaumaha ai ma ke kuahu ana i hana'i ma Betela i ka umikumamalima o ka la o ka walu o ka mahina, ana i noonoo ai ma kona naau; a ua hoomaopopo i ka ahaaina na ka poe mamo a Iseraela, a ua kaumaha aku la maluna o ke kuahu, a kuni hoi i ka mea ala.
