Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.
1HELE aku la na mamo a Iseraela, a hoomoana iho la ma na papu o Moaba, ma keia aoao o Ioredane e ku pono ana i Ieriko.
2Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
2A ike aku la o Balaka ke keiki a Zipora i ka mea a pau a ka Iseraela i hana aku ai i ka Amora.
3Moab was very afraid of the people, because they were many. Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
3Makau loa iho la o Moaba i ua poe kanaka la, no ka mea, he lehulehu lakou: a ua pilikia o Moaba no na mamo a Iseraela.
4Moab said to the elders of Midian, “Now this multitude will lick up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field.” Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.
4Olelo aku la o Moaba i na lunakahiko o Midiana, E pau auanei na mea a pau o kakou i ka paluia e keia poe kanaka, e like me ka palu ana o ka bipi i ka weuweu o ke kula. A o Balaka ke keiki a Zipora ke alii o ka Moaba ia manawa.
5He sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, “Behold, there is a people who came out of Egypt. Behold, they cover the surface of the earth, and they are staying opposite me.
5No ia mea, hoouna aku la ia i mau elele io Balaama la ke keiki a Beora i Petora ma ka muliwai o ka aina o na keiki o kona poe kanaka, e kii ia ia, i aku la, Eia hoi, he poe kanaka i hele mai nei mai Aigupita mai: aia hoi, ke uhi paapu nei lakou i ka aina, a e noho ku pono ana lakou io'u nei.
6Please come now therefore, and curse this people for me; for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall prevail, that we may strike them, and that I may drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.”
6Nolaila la, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele mai oe e olelo hoino aku no'u i keia poe kanaka; no ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou ikaika i ko'u: malia e loaa paha ia'u ka ikaika e hahau aku ai makou ia lakou, a e kipaku au ia lakou mawaho o ka aina: no ka mea, ua ike no wau, o kau e hoomaikai aku ai, oia ke hoopomaikaiia; a o kau e olelo hoino aku ai, oia ke hoopoinoia.
7The elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand. They came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.
7Hele aku la na lunakahiko o Moaba me na lunakahiko o Midiana, me ka uku no ka anaana ana: a hiki aku la lakou io Balaama la, a hai aku la ia ia i ka olelo a Balaka.
8He said to them, “Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak to me.” The princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
8I mai la oia ia lakou, e moe oukou maanei i keia po, a e hai aku au ia oukou e like me ka Iehova e olelo mai ai ia'u; a noho iho la na luna o Moaba me Balaama.
9God came to Balaam, and said, “Who are these men with you?”
9Hele mai la ke Akua io Balaama la, ninau mai la, Owai keia poe kanaka me oe?
10Balaam said to God, “Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has said to me,
10I aku la o Balaama i ke Akua, O Balaka ke keiki a Zipora, ke alii o Moaba, ua hoouna mai io'u nei, [i ka i ana,]
11‘Behold, the people that has come out of Egypt covers the surface of the earth. Now, come curse them for me. Perhaps I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out.’”
11Aia hoi he poe kanaka i hele mai nei mai Aigupita mai, uhi paapu lakou i ka aina: e hele mai hoi oe e olelo hoino aku ia lakou no'u; malia paha e lanakila au i ke kaua ana aku ia lakou, a e kipaku aku ia lakou.
12God said to Balaam, “You shall not go with them. You shall not curse the people, for they are blessed.”
12Olelo mai la ke Akua ia Balaama, Mai hele aku oe me lakou: mai olelo hoino aku i ua poe kanaka la; no ka mea, ua hoomaikaiia lakou.
13Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, “Go to your land; for the LORD refuses to permit me to go with you.”
13Ala ae la o Balaama i kakahiaka, i aku la i na luna o Balaka, E hoi oukou i ko oukou aina; no ka mea, aole i ae mai o Iehova ia'u e hele me oukou.
14The princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, “Balaam refuses to come with us.”
14Ku ae la na luna o Moaba, a hoi aku la io Balaka la, i aku la, Ua hoole mai o Balaama aole e hele mai me makou.
15Balak again sent princes, more, and more honorable than they.
15Hoouna hou aku la o Balaka i na luna, he nui aku, a he oi hoi ko lakou koikoi i ko kela poe.
16They came to Balaam, and said to him, “Balak the son of Zippor says, ‘Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me,
16Hele aku la lakou io Balaama la, i aku ia ia, Penei ka Balaka ka ke keiki a Zipora e olelo mai nei, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, i keakea ole kekahi mea ia oe i ka hele ana mai io'u nei:
17for I will promote you to very great honor, and whatever you say to me I will do. Please come therefore, and curse this people for me.’”
17No ka mea, e hoohanohano loa aku au ia oe, a e hana aku au i na mea a pau au e olelo mai ai ia'u: ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele mai hoi, e olelo hoino aku no'u i keia poe kanaka.
18Balaam answered the servants of Balak, “If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
18Olelo mai la o Balaama, i mai la i na kauwa a Balaka, Ina e haawi mai o Balaka ia'u i ke kala a me ke gula a piha kona hale, aole e hiki ia'u ke hoohala i ka olelo a Iehova a ko'u Akua, i ka hoemi iho, i ka oi aku paha.
19Now therefore please stay here tonight as well, that I may know what else the LORD will speak to me.”
19No ia mea, ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e noho hoi oukou ia nei i keia po, i ike au i ka mea a Iehova e olelo hou mai ai ia'u.
20God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, “If the men have come to call you, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak to you, that you shall do.”
20Hele mai la ke Akua io Balaama la ia po iho, i mai la ia ia, Ina paha e hele mai ua mau kanaka la e hea mai ia oe, e ala ae oe e hele pu me lakou; aka, o ka olelo a'u e hai aku ai ia oe, oia kau e hana'i.
21Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.
21Ala ae la o Balaama i kakahiaka, hoee aku la i ka noho maluna o kona hoki, a hele pu aku la me na luna o Moaba.
22God’s anger burned because he went; and the LORD’s angel placed himself in the way as an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.
22Ua hoaia ka inaina o ke Akua, no kona hele ana; a ku mai la ka anela o Iehova ma ke alanui, i mea ku e mai ia ia. E holo ana ia maluna o kona hoki, elua ana mau kauwa me ia.
23The donkey saw the LORD’s angel standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the donkey turned out of the path, and went into the field. Balaam struck the donkey, to turn her into the path.
23Ike aku la ka hoki i ka anela o Iehova e ku ana ma ke ala, a me kana pahikana i unuhiia ma kona lima; huli ae la ka hoki mawaho o ke ala, a hele aku la ma ke kula; a hahau iho la o Balaama i ka hoki, e hoohuli hou ia ia ma ke ala.
24Then the LORD’s angel stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
24Aka, ku ae la ka anela o Iehova ma ke ala o na pawaina, he papohaku ma kela aoao, a he papohaku ma keia aoao.
25The donkey saw the LORD’s angel, and she thrust herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall. He struck her again.
25A ike aku la ka hoki i ka anela o Iehova, pipika ae la ia ma ka papohaku, a pepe iho la ka wawae o Balaama i ka papohaku; a hahau hou iho la kela ia ia.
26The LORD’s angel went further, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
26A hele hou aku la ka anela o Iehova, a ku iho la ma kahi haiki, aole wahi e huli ae ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema.
27The donkey saw the LORD’s angel, and she lay down under Balaam. Balaam’s anger burned, and he struck the donkey with his staff.
27A ike aku la ka hoki i ka anela o Iehova, hina iho la ia malalo o Balaama; huhu iho la o Balaama, a hahau iho la ia i ka hoki me ke kookoo.
28The LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”
28Wehe ae la o Iehova i ka waha o ka hoki, a i mai la ia ia Balaama, Heaha ka'u i hana aku ai ia oe, i pakolu ai kau hahau ana mai ia'u?
29Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you have mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you.”
29I aku la o Balaama i ka hoki, No ka mea, na hana ino mai oe ia'u; ina he pahikana ma ko'u lima, ina ua make oe ia'u.
30The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long until today? Was I ever in the habit of doing so to you?” He said, “No.”
30Ninau mai la ka hoki ia Balaama, Aole anei wau o kou hoki, ka mea au i holoholo ai, mai ka manawa i lilo ai au nou, a hiki i neia la? Pela no anei ka'u i hana aku ai ia oe mamua? I aku la kela, Aole.
31Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the LORD’s angel standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face.
31Alaila hookaakaa ae la o Iehova i na maka o Balaama, a ike aku la ia i ka anela o Iehova e ku ana ma ke alanui me ka pahikaua i unuhiia ma kona lima: kulou iho la ia, a moe iho la ilalo ke alo.
32The LORD’s angel said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way is perverse before me.
32I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia ia, No ke aha la oe i hahau ai i kou hoki, ekolu hahau ana? Aia hoi, i hele mai nei au e ku e ia oe; no ka mea, ua kekee kou aoao imua o'u.
33The donkey saw me, and turned away before me these three times. Unless she had turned away from me, surely now I would have killed you, and saved her alive.”
33A ike mai la ka hoki ia'u, a huli ae la mai o'u aku la, ekolu huli ana: he oiaio, ina aole ia i huli ae, mai o'u aku nei, ina ua make oe ia'u, a ola kela.
34Balaam said to the LORD’s angel, “I have sinned; for I didn’t know that you stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it displeases you, I will go back again.”
34I aku la o Balaama i ka anela o Iehova, Ua hewa wau; aole au i ike ua ku e mai oe ia'u ma ke alanui: ano hoi, a i hewa ia mea ia oe, e hoi hou aku no wau.
35The LORD’s angel said to Balaam, “Go with the men; but you shall only speak the word that I shall speak to you.” So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
35I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Balaama, E hele pu oe me ia mau kanaka; aka, o ka olelo a'u e hai aku ai ia oe, oia wale no kau e olelo aku ai. A hele aku la o Balaama me na luna o Balaka.
36When Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him to the City of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border.
36A lohe ae la o Balaka, ua hiki mai o Balaama, hele aku kela e halawai me ia ma kekahi kulanakauhale o Moaba ma ka palena o Arenona, oia no ka palenamamao loa.
37Balak said to Balaam, “Didn’t I earnestly send for you to summon you? Why didn’t you come to me? Am I not able indeed to promote you to honor?”
37I mai la o Balaka ia Balaama, Aole anei au i hoouna ikaika aku iou la, e kii ia oe? Heaha hoi kau i hele ole mai ai io'u nei? Aole anei e hiki ia'u ke hoohanohano ia oe?
38Balaam said to Balak, “Behold, I have come to you. Have I now any power at all to speak anything? I will speak the word that God puts in my mouth.”
38I aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, Eia hoi, ua hiki mai nei au iou la: ia'u no anei kekahi pono iki ke hai aku ia oe i kekahi mea? O ka olelo a ke Akua e waiho mai ai iloko o ko'u waha, oia ka'u e olelo aku ai.
39Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath Huzoth.
39Hele pu ae la o Balaama me Balaka, a hiki ae la laua i Kiriatahuzota.
40Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes who were with him.
40Mohai aku la o Balaka i na bipi a me na hipa, a hoouna aku la io Balaama la, a i na luna me ia.
41In the morning, Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal; and he saw from there part of the people.
41A kakahiaka ae la, kono aku la o Balaka ia Balaama, a kai aku la ia ia i kahi kiekie o Baala, i ike aku ai oia ma ia wahi i ka poe kanaka a pau.
