Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1In those days there was no king in Israel. In those days the tribe of the Danites sought an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day, their inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.
1I A manawa, aole alii maluna o ka Iseraela, a i kela mau la e imi ana o ka Dana i aina kahi e noho ai no lakou, no ka mea, a hiki mai ia wa, aole i ili mai ko Dana aina iwaena o na ohana o ka Iseraela.
2The children of Dan sent five men of their family from their whole number, men of valor, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land and to search it. They said to them, “Go, explore the land!” They came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.
2Hoouna ae la na mamo a Dana i elima kanaka o ka lakou ohana, no ko lakou aina, he poe kanaka koa, no Zora, a no Esetaola, e kiu i ka aina, a makaikai; a i mai la lakou, E hele, e makaikai i ka aina. A hiki lakou i ka mauna o Eperaima, i ka hale o Mika, kipa ae la lakou ilaila.
3When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite; so they went over there and said to him, “Who brought you here? What do you do in this place? What do you have here?”
3A ma ka hale o Mika lakou, maopopo ia lakou ka leo o ke kanaka hou o ka Levi; kipa ae la lakou ilaila, i ae la ia ia, Nawai oe i kai mai nei? Heaha hoi kau e hana nei ma keia wahi? Heaha kau o nei?
4He said to them, “Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his priest.”
4I mai la ia, Penei, a penei ka hana ana o Mika ia'u, a ua hoolimalima mai ia'u, a owau no kona kahuna.
5They said to him, “Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.”
5I aku la lakou ia ia, E ninau aku paha oe i ke Akua, i ike makou, e pomaikai paha ko makou hele, e hele nei.
6The priest said to them, “Go in peace. Your way in which you go is before the LORD.”
6I mai la ke kahuna ia lakou, O hele me ka pomaikai, he pololei ia Iehova ka hele a oukou e hele nei.
7Then the five men departed and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, how they lived in safety, in the way of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no one in the land possessing authority, that might put them to shame in anything, and they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with anyone else.
7Alaila, hele aku la ua mau kanaka la elima, a hiki aku la i Laisa, ike iho la i ko laila kanaka e noho makau ole ana, ma ke ano o ko Zidona, ua malie, aole i makau, aole mea e noho alii ana ma ka honua nei i hana ino mai; a ua loihi lakou, mai Zidona aku, aohe o lakou mea pu me kekahi kanaka e.
8They came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol; and their brothers asked them, “What do you say?”
8A hoi mai la lakou i ko lakou poe hoahanau ma Zora, a me Esetaola. I aku la ko lakou poe hoahanau ia lakou, Heaha ka oukou?
9They said, “Arise, and let’s go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. Do you stand still? Don’t be slothful to go and to enter in to possess the land.
9I mai la lakou, E ala mai, i pii ku e kakou ia lakou no; ka mea, ua ike makou i ka aina, aia hoi, ua maikai loa ia; a e noho malie ana oukou? Mai hoomolowa oukou i ka pii aku, a komo, a hoopio i ka aina.
10When you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people, and the land is large; for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth.”
10I ko oukou hele ana, e hiki no oukou i ka poe kanaka, e makau ole ana, a i ka aina nui; no ka mea, ua haawi mai ke Akua ia aina i ko oukou lima. Aole hoi i nele ia aina i kekahi mea o ka honua.
11The family of the Danites set out from Zorah and Eshtaol with six hundred men armed with weapons of war.
11Hele aku la, mai ia wahi aku, no ka ohana a Dana, mai Zora, a me Esetaola aku, eono haneri kanaka i kahikoia i na mea kaua.
12They went up and encamped in Kiriath Jearim in Judah. Therefore they call that place Mahaneh Dan to this day. Behold, it is behind Kiriath Jearim.
12Pii aku la lakou a hoomoana iho la ma Kiriatiarima ma ka Iuda: nolaila, kapa aku la lakou ia wahi, o Mahanedana, a hiki mai i neia la; aia no ma ke kua o Kiriatiarima.
13They passed from there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
13A malaila aku lakou i hele ai a i ka mauna o Eperaima, a hiki aku la i ka hale o Mika.
14Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish answered and said to their brothers, “Do you know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a carved image, and a molten image? Now therefore consider what you have to do.”
14Alaila, ninau ae la na kanaka elima, i hele aku e makaikai i ka aina o Laisa, i aku la i ko lakou poe hoahanau, Ua ike anei oukou, aia maloko o keia mau hale, he epoda, a he terapima, a me ke kii, a me ke kii hooheheeia? Nolaila ea, e noonoo oukou i ka oukou mea e hana'i.
15They went over there and came to the house of the young Levite man, even to the house of Micah, and asked him how he was doing.
15Kipa ae la lakou ilaila, a hiki ae la i ke kanaka hou o ka Levi, i ka hale hoi o Mika, a aloha ae la ia ia.
16The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.
16Ku iho la ma ka ipuka, kela poe kanaka eono haneri i kahikoia i na mea kaua, o ka poe mamo hoi a Dana.
17The five men who went to spy out the land went up, and came in there, and took the engraved image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image; and the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.
17Pii ae la a komo ilaila na kanaka elima i pii aku e makaikai i ka aina, a lawe lakou i ke kii, a me ka epoda, a me ke terapima, a me ke kii i hooheheeia; a ku mai la ke kahuna ma ka ipuka me na kanaka eono haneri i kahikoia i na mea kaua.
18When these went into Micah’s house, and took the engraved image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”
18Hele aku la keia poe iloko o ka hale o Mika, a lawe mai la i ke kii, a me ka epoda, a me ke terapima, a me ke kii i hooheheeia. Alaila, i aku la ke kahuna ia lakou, Heaha ka oukou e hana nei?
19They said to him, “Hold your peace, put your hand on your mouth, and go with us. Be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?”
19I mai la lakou ia ia, Hamau, e kau oe i kou lima ma kou waha, a e hele pu me makou, i lilo oe i makua no makou, a i kahuna hoi. He mea maikai anei ia oe i kahuna oe no ka hale o ke kanaka hookahi, no ka ohana paha, a no ka hanauna iloko o ka Iseraela?
20The priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, the teraphim, and the engraved image, and went with the people.
20Olioli iho la ka naau o ke kahuna, a lawe ae la oia i ka epoda, a me ke terapima, a me ke kii, a hele aku la iwaena o na kanaka.
21So they turned and departed, and put the little ones, the livestock, and the goods before them.
21Huli ae la lakou a hele aku la, a hoonoho iho la i ka poe opio, a me na holoholona, a me ka ukana imua o lakou.
22When they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah’s house gathered together and overtook the children of Dan.
22A hiki lakou i kahi mamao mai ka hale o Mika aku, alaila, hoakoakoaia mai la na kanaka o kauhale e kokoke ana ma ka hale o Mika, a hahai aku la i na mamo a Dana.
23As they called to the children of Dan, they turned their faces, and said to Micah, “What ails you, that you come with such a company?”
23Hea aku la lakou i na mamo a Dana; a huli mai ko lakou maka, i mai la ia Mika, Heaha kau i akoakoa mai nei?
24He said, “You have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and have gone away! What more do I have? How can you ask me, ‘What ails you?’”
24I aku la keia, Ua lawe aku oukou i ko'u mau akua, a'u i hana'i, a me ke kahuna, a ua hele oukou. Heaha hoi ka mea i koe ia'u? Heaha hoi keia mea a oukou i ninau mai nei ia'u? Heaha kau?
25The children of Dan said to him, “Don’t let your voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall on you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household.”
25I mai la na mamo a Dana ia ia, Mai lohe hou ia kou leo iwaena o makou, o lele aku maluna o oukou na kanaka i walania, a lilo kou ola, a me ke ola o ko ka hale ou.
26The children of Dan went their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.
26Hele aku la na mamo a Dana i ko lakou wahi i hele ai. A ike iho la o Mika, ua oi ko lakou ikaika i kona, huli mai la ia, a hoi ae la i kona hale.
27They took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, and struck them with the edge of the sword; then they burned the city with fire.
27Lawe lakou i na mea a Mika i hana'i, a me kona kahuna, a hele aku la i Laisa, i ka poe kanaka e noho malie ana, me ka makau ole; a luku aku la keia poe ia lakou i ka maka o ka pahikaua, a puhi aku la i ko lakou kulanakauhale i ke ahi.
28There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone else; and it was in the valley that lies by Beth Rehob. They built the city and lived in it.
28Aohe mea nana i hoopakele, no ka mea, ua loihi ia mai Zidona aku, aole hoi lakou he mea pu me kekahi kanaka e. Aia no ia ma ke kahawai e kokoke ana i Beterehoba. Hana iho la lakou i kulanakauhale, a noho no ilaila.
29They called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel; however the name of the city used to be Laish.
29Kapa iho la lakou i ka inoa o ia kulanakauhale, o Dana, mamuli o Dana, o ko lakou kupuna kane, ka mea i hanau na Iseraela; aka, o Laisa ka inoa kahiko o ua kulanakauhale la.
30The children of Dan set up for themselves the engraved image; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.
30Kukulu iho la na mamo a Dana i ke kii; a o Ionetana, ke keiki a Geresoma, ke keiki a Manase, oia, a me kana mau keiki na kahuna no ka ohana a Dana, a hiki i ka la i pio ai ka aina.
31So they set up for themselves Micah’s engraved image which he made, and it remained all the time that God’s house was in Shiloh.
31Kukulu lakou i ke kii o Mika, ana i hana'i, i ka manawa a pau i ku ai ka hale o ke Akua ma Silo.
