Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1The men of Ephraim said to him, “Why have you treated us this way, that you didn’t call us when you went to fight with Midian?” They rebuked him sharply.
1OLELO aku la na kanaka o Eperaima ia ia, Heaha keia mea au i hana mai ai ia makou, i kou hea ole ana mai ia makou, i kou wa i hele aku ai e kaua me ko Midiana? Ikaika loa ko lakou hoopaapaa ana ia ia.
2He said to them, “What have I now done in comparison with you? Isn’t the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
2Olelo ae la oia ia lakou, Heaha ka'u i hana'i me ka oukou? Aole anei i oi ke koena ai no Eperaima mamua o ka hoiliili ana o ka Abiezera?
3God has delivered into your hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb! What was I able to do in comparison with you?” Then their anger was abated toward him when he had said that.
3Ua haawi mai ke Akua i ko oukou lima i na'lii o Midiana, o Oreba, a me Zeeba. Heaha ka mea i hiki ia'u ke hana e like me ka oukou? Alaila, i kana olelo ana pela, maha ae la ko lakou huhu ia ia.
4Gideon came to the Jordan and passed over, he and the three hundred men who were with him, faint, yet pursuing.
4Hele mai la o Gideona i Ioredane, a maalo ae la i kela aoao, oia a me ia mau haneri kanaka ekolu pu me ia, ua makaponiuniu, e hahai ana nae.
5He said to the men of Succoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”
5I ae la ia i kanaka o Sukota, Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oukou, e haawi mai i mau popo berena na ka poe e hahai ana ia u; no ka mea, ua makaponiuniu lakou, a e hahai ana au ia Zeba, a me Zalemuna, i na'lii o ko Midiana.
6The princes of Succoth said, “Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?”
6I mai la na'lii o Sukota, Ua loaa anei na lima o Zeba, laua o Zalemuna i kou lima, i haawi aku ai makou i berena na kou poe kaua?
7Gideon said, “Therefore when the LORD has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.”
7I ae la o Gideona, No ia mea, i ka wa e haawi mai ai o Iehova ia Zeba, laua o Zalemuna, i ko'u lima, alaila e kahi au i ko oukou io i ke kakalaioa a me na mea ooi o ka nahelehele.
8He went up there to Penuel, and spoke to them in the same way; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.
8Pii aku la ia, mai laila aku, a i Penuela, a olelo aku la ia lakou pela. I mai la na kanaka o Penuela ia ia, e like me ka na kanaka o Sukota i i mai ai.
9He spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, “When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.”
9Olelo ae la ia i na kanaka o Penuela, i aku la, A hoi mai au me ka malu, alaila, e wawahi au i keia halekiai.
10Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men, all who were left of all the army of the children of the east; for there fell one hundred twenty thousand men who drew sword.
10E noho ana o Zeba, laua o Zalemuna ma Karekora, a o ko laua mau puali pu me laua, he umikumamalima tausani paha, o ka poe a pau i koe o na puali o ka poe i noho ma ka hikina. Ua haule hookahi haneri me ka iwakalua tausani kanaka, unuhi pahi.
11Gideon went up by the way of those who lived in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and struck the army; for the army felt secure.
11Pii aku la o Gideona ma ke ala o ka poe noho ma na halelewa, ma ka hikina o Noba, a me Iogebeha, a luku aku la i ka puali; no ka mea, e noho makau ole ana ka puali.
12Zebah and Zalmunna fled and he pursued them. He took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and confused all the army.
12Hee aku la o Zeba, laua o Zalemuna, a hahai aku la ia ia laua, a pio iho la ia ia na'lii elua o Midiana, o Zeba a me Zalemuna, a auhee aku la ka puali a pau.
13Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle from the ascent of Heres.
13Hoi mai la o Gideona, ke keiki a Ioasa, mai ke kaua ana mai, mamua o ka hiki ana a ka la.
14He caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him; and he described for him the princes of Succoth, and its elders, seventy-seven men.
14Paa iho la ia ia kekahi kanaka ui o Sukota, a ninau aku la ia ia, a hoike mai la oia ia ia i na'lii o Sukota a me kolaila poe lunakahiko, he kanahikukumamahiku kanaka.
15He came to the men of Succoth, and said, “See Zebah and Zalmunna, concerning whom you taunted me, saying, ‘Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your men who are weary?’”
15Hele mai la ia i kanaka o Sukota, i ae la, Eia hoi o Zeba, laua o Zalemuna, na mea a oukou i hoowahawaha mai ai ia'u, i ka i ana mai, Ua loaa anei na lima o Zeba laua o Zalemuna i kou lima, i haawi aku ai makou i ka berena na kou poe kanaka makaponiuniu?
16He took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
16Lalau iho la ia i na lunakahiko o ia kulanakauhale, a me ke kakalaioa, a me na mea oioi o ka nahelehele, a me ia mau mea no ia i ao aku ai i na kanaka o Sukota.
17He broke down the tower of Penuel, and killed the men of the city.
17Wawahi iho la no hoi ia i ka halekiai o Penuela, a luku aku la i kanaka o ia kulanakauhale.
18Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men were they whom you killed at Tabor?” They answered, “They were like you. They all resembled the children of a king.”
18Alaila, ninau aku la oia ia Zeba laua o Zalemuna, Heaha ke ano o na kanaka a olua i pepehi ai ma Tabora? I mai la laua, E like me oe nei, pela lakou. Ua like lakou a pau me na keiki alii.
19He said, “They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As the LORD lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not kill you.”
19I aku la keia, he poe hoahanau lakou no'u, he poe keiki na ko'u makuwahine. Me Iehova e ola nei, ina i hoola olua ia lakou, ina aole au e pepehi aku ia olua.
20He said to Jether his firstborn, “Get up and kill them!” But the youth didn’t draw his sword; for he was afraid, because he was yet a youth.
20I mai la ia ia Ietera, i kana hiapo, E ku iluna, a pepehi ia laua. Aole unuhi ua keiki la i kana pahikaua; ua makau, no ka mea, he keiki ia.
21Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “You rise and fall on us; for as the man is, so is his strength.” Gideon arose, and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescents that were on their camels’ necks.
21Alaila, olelo mai o Zeba laua o Zalemuna, E ku mai oe, a e pepehi mai ia maua, no ka mea, e like me ke kanaka, pela kona ikaika. Ku ae la o Gideona, a pepehi iho la ia Zeba, laua o Zalemuna, a lawe oia i na lei o na a-i o ka laua mau kamelo.
22Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us, both you, your son, and your son’s son also; for you have saved us out of the hand of Midian.”
22Alaila, olelo aku la na kanaka o ka Iseraela ia Gideona, I alii oe maluna o makou, o oe a me kau keiki, a me ke keiki a kau keiki; no ka mea, ua hoola mai oe ia makou, mailoko ae o ka lima o ko Midiana.
23Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you. The LORD shall rule over you.”
23I mai la o Gideona ia lakou, aole au e lilo i alii maluna o oukou, aole e lilo ka'u keiki i alii maluna o oukou. E lilo no o Iehova i alii maluna o oukou.
24Gideon said to them, “I do have a request: that you would each give me the earrings of his plunder.” (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
24I mai la o Gideona ia lakou, He manao nonoi aku ko'u e nonoi aku ai ia oukou, e haawi mai kela kanaka keia kanaka o oukou ia'u, i na apo pepeiao o kona mea pio. (He apo pepeiao gula ko lakou, no ka mea, no ka Isemaela lakou.)
25They answered, “We will willingly give them.” They spread a garment, and every man threw the earrings of his plunder into it.
25I mai la lakou, E haawi io no makou. Hohola iho la lakou i lole, a hoolei iho la kela kanaka keia kanaka i na apo pepeiao o kona pio maluna iho.
26The weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold, in addition to the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple clothing that was on the kings of Midian, and in addition to the chains that were about their camels’ necks.
26O ke kaumaha o ia mau apo pepeiao, ana i noi aku ai, hookahi ia tausani ehiku haueri sekela gula; a keu aku na lei, a me na momi pepeiao, a me ka lole poni mahana o na'lii o ko Midiana, a me na lei ma na a-i o ka laua mau kamelo.
27Gideon made an ephod out of it, and put it in Ophrah, his city. Then all Israel played the prostitute with it there; and it became a snare to Gideon and to his house.
27Hana iho la o Gideona ia mea, i epoda, a waiho iho la ma kona kulanakauhale, ma Opera. Hahai aku la ilaila ka Iseraela a pau, e kuko ana mamuli o ia mea; a lilo iho la ia i mea e hihia'i no Gideona, a me ko kona hale.
28So Midian was subdued before the children of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. The land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon.
28Pela i pio ai ko Midiana imua o na mamo a Iseraela, aole lakou i hoala hou i ko lakou poo. Kuapapanui iho la ka aina hookahi kanaha makahiki, i ke kau ia Gideona.
29Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and lived in his own house.
29Hele aku la o Ierubaala ke keiki a Ioasa, a noho iho la ma kona hale iho.
30Gideon had seventy sons conceived from his body, for he had many wives.
30He kanahiku ka Gideona mau keikikane, mailoko aku o kona puhaka, no ka mea, ua nui loa kana poe wahine.
31His concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.
31A o kana haiawahine ma Se kema, oia kekahi i hanau mai i keikikane nana, a kapa aku la oia i kona inoa o Abimeleka.
32Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
32Make iho la o Gideona ke keiki a Ioasa, ua elemakule maikai, a kanuia oia ma ka ilina o kona makuakane, ma Opera, no ka Abiezara.
33As soon as Gideon was dead, the children of Israel turned again and played the prostitute following the Baals, and made Baal Berith their god.
33A mahope iho o ka make ana o Gideona, huli hou aku la na mamo a Iseraela, a moe kolohe iho la me Baalima, a hoolilo iho la ia Baalaberita, i akua no lakou.
34The children of Israel didn’t remember the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side;
34Aole hoomanao na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova, i ko lakou Akua, i ka mea i hoola'e ia lakou mai ka lima aku o ko lakou poe enemi, ma na aoao a puni.
35neither did they show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shown to Israel.
35Aole lakou i lokomaikai aku i ko ka hale o Ierubaala, oia hoi o Gideona, e like me na mea maikai a pau ana i hana mai ai i ka Iseraela.
