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 Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to 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.
2The 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 who 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.
3(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) The children of Israel said, “Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?”
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?
4The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered, “I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.
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;
5The men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house by night. They intended to kill me and they raped my concubine, 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.
6I 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 folly 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, you children of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel.”
7Aia hoi, he poe mamo oukou a pau na Iseraela. E haawi mai i ko oukou manao a me ka oukou pono.
8All the people arose as one man, saying, “None of us will go to his tent, neither will any of us turn to 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 one hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand to get food for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that the men of Gibeah have done 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.
12The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What wickedness is this that has happened 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 wicked fellows who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and put away evil from Israel.” But Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, 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.
14The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to 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.
15The children of Benjamin were counted on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, in addition to the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were counted 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.
16Among all these soldiers there were seven hundred chosen men who were left-handed. Every one of them could sling a stone at a hair 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.
17The men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were counted four hundred thousand men who 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.
18The children of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God. They asked, “Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin?” 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.
19The 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.
20The 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.
21The children of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and on that day destroyed twenty-two thousand of the Israelite men down to the ground.
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.
22The 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.
23The children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening; and they asked of the LORD, saying, “Shall I again draw near to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?” 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.)
24The 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.
25Benjamin went out 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 to Bethel, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening; then 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.
27The children of Israel asked 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?” The LORD said, “Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into your 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.
29Israel set ambushes all around Gibeah.
29Hoonoho iho la ka Iseraela i poe hoohalua a puni o Gibea.
30The 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.
31The children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike and kill of the people as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah, in the field, 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.
32The children of Benjamin said, “They are struck down before us, as at the first.” But the children of Israel said, “Let’s flee, and draw them away from the city to 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.
33All the men of Israel rose up out of their place and set themselves in array at Baal Tamar. Then the ambushers of Israel broke 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.
34Ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel came over against Gibeah, and the battle was severe; but they didn’t know that disaster was close to 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.
35The LORD struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand one 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 struck, for the men of Israel yielded to Benjamin because they trusted the ambushers 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.
37The ambushers hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; then the ambushers spread out, and struck 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 the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushers was that they should make a great cloud 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.
39The men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, “Surely they are struck 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 cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and behold, the whole city went up in smoke to the sky.
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.
41The men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed; for they saw that disaster had come on 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 to the way of the wilderness, but the battle followed hard after them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the middle of it.
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 surrounded the Benjamites, chased them, and trod them down at their resting place, as far as near Gibeah toward the sunrise.
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.
44Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell; all these were men of valor.
44He umikumamawalu tausani kanaka o Beniamina i haule, he poe kanaka koa keia a pau.
45They turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon. They gleaned five thousand men of them in the highways, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and struck two thousand men of them.
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-five thousand men who drew the sword. All these were men of valor.
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 to the rock of Rimmon, and stayed 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.
48The men of Israel turned again on the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword—including the entire city, the livestock, and all that they found. Moreover they set all the cities which they found 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.
