1 Samuel 12
1 Then Samuel said to all of Israel: “Behold, I have listened to your voice, according to all that you have said to me, and I have appointed a king over you.
OLELO aku la o Samuela i ka Iseraela a pau, Aia hoi, ua hoolohe au i ko oukou leo ma na mea a pau a oukou i olelo mai ai ia'u, a ua hoonoho aku au i alii maluna o oukou.
2 And now the king advances before you. But I am old and have gray hair. Moreover, my sons are with you. And so, having conversed before you from my youth, even until this day, behold, I am here.
Ano hoi, ke hele nei ke alii imua o oukou: a ua elemakule wau, ua poohina; a eia hoi ka'u mau keiki me oukou; a ua hele au imua o oukou mai kuu wa kamalii a hiki i keia la.
3 Speak about me before the Lord, and before his Christ, as to whether I have taken anyone’s ox or donkey, or whether I have falsely accused anyone, or whether I have oppressed anyone, or whether I have accepted a bribe from the hand of anyone, and I will repudiate the same, this day, and I will restore it to you.”
Eia hoi wau: e hoike mai oukou ia'u imua o Iehova, a imua hoi o kona mea i poniia; o ka bipi awai ka'u i lawe ai? a o ka hoki awai ka'u i kaili ai? ka wai la ka'u i alunu ai? owai la ka'u i hookaumaha ai? ma ka lima owai ka'u i lawe ai i ke kipe i huna'i ko'u maka ia ia? a e hoihoi aku au ia mea ia oukou.
4 And they said, “You have not falsely accused us, nor oppressed us, nor have you taken anything from the hand of anyone.”
I mai la lakou, Aole oe i alunu i ka makou, aole hoi i hookaumaha mai ia makou, aole oe i lawe i kekahi mea ma ka lima o kekahi kanaka.
5 And he said to them, “The Lord is a witness against you, and his Christ is a witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand.” And they said, “He is the witness.”
I aku la oia ia lakou, O Iehova ke hoike ia oukou, a o kona mea i poniia ke hoike i keia la, aole i loaa ia oukou kekahi mea ma kuu lima. I mai la lakou, Oia ke hoike.
6 And Samuel said to the people: “It is the Lord who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who led our fathers away from the land of Egypt.
Olelo aku la o Samuela i na kanaka, O Iehova no ka mea nana i hoonoho mai o Mose a me Aarona, a nana hoi i lawe mai ko oukou poe kupuna mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
7 Now therefore, stand, so that I may contend in judgment against you before the Lord, about all the mercies of the Lord, which he has given to you and to your fathers:
No ia hoi, e ku malie oukou, a e ao aku au ia oukou imua o Iehova i na mea pono a pau a Iehova i hana mai ai ia oukou a me ko oukou poe kupuna.
8 How Jacob entered into Egypt, and your fathers cried out to the Lord. And the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, and he led your fathers away from Egypt, and he transferred them to this place.
I ka manawa a Iakoba i hele ai ma Aigupita, a i uwe ai ko oukou poe kupuna ia Iehova, alaila hoouna mai la o Iehova ia Mose a me Aarona, a na laua i alakai ko oukou mau kupuna mai Aigupita mai, a hoonoho ia lakou ma keia wahi.
9 But they forgot the Lord their God, and so he delivered them into the hand of Sisera, master of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab. And they fought against them.
A ia lakou i hoopoina ai ia Iehova ko lakou Akua, kuai aku la ia ia lakou i ka lima o Sisera, i ka luna o ka poe kaua no Hazora, a i ka lima o ko Pilisetia, a i ka lima o ke alii o Moaba, a kaua mai lakou ia lakou.
10 But afterward, they cried out to the Lord, and they said: ‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and we have served the Baals and Ashtaroth. Now therefore, rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.’
Auwe aku lakou ia Iehova, i aku la, Ua hana hewa makou, no ka mea, ua haalele makou ia Iehova, a ua malama makou ia Baalima a me Asetarota: aka, ano e hoopakele mai oe ia makou i ka lima o ko makou poe enemi, a e malama makou ia oe.
11 And the Lord sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and he rescued you from the hand of your enemies all around, and you lived in confidence.
A hoouna mai o Iehova ia Ierubaala, a me Bedana, a me Iepeta, a me Samuela, a hoopakele mai ia oukou i ka lima o ko oukou poe enemi ma na aoao a pau, a noho maluhia iho la oukou.
12 Then, seeing that Nahash, the king of the sons of Ammon, had arrived against you, you said to me, ‘By no means! Instead, a king shall reign over us,’ even though the Lord your God was reigning over you.
A ike oukou ia Nahasa, ke alii o na mamo a Amona e hele mai ana e ku e ia oukou, i mai la oukou ia'u, Aole; aka e hoonohoia ke alii maluna o makou; i ka manawa o ko Iehova ko oukou Akua alii ana maluna o oukou.
13 Now therefore, your king is present, whom you chose and requested. Behold, the Lord has given you a king.
No ia mea, e nana oukou i ke alii, i ka mea a oukou i wae ai, a me ka mea a oukou i makemake ai; aia hoi, ua hoonoho mai o Iehova i alii maluna o oukou.
14 If you will fear the Lord, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not provoke the mouth of the Lord, then both you, and the king who rules over you, will be following the Lord your God.
Ina paha e makau oukou ia Iehova, a e malama ia ia, a e hoolohe i kona leo, aole hoi e hoole i ke kauoha a Iehova; alaila oukou, a me ke alii e alii ana maluna o oukou e hahai mamuli o Iehova ko oukou Akua.
15 But if you will not listen to the voice of the Lord, but instead you provoke his words, then the hand of the Lord will be over you and over your fathers.
Aka, i hoolohe ole oukou i ka leo o Iehova, i hoole hoi i ke kauoha a Iehova: alaila e ku e mai ka lima o Iehova ia oukou, e like me ke ku e i ko oukou poe kupuna.
16 Therefore, stand now, and see this great thing, which the Lord will accomplish in your sight.
No ia hoi, e ku malie oukou, a ike i keia mea nui a Iehova e hana mai ai imua o ko oukou maka.
17 Is it not the harvest of the wheat today? I will call upon the Lord, and he will send thunder and rain. And you will know and see that you have done a great evil in the sight of the Lord, by petitioning for a king over you.”
Aole anei keia ka manawa e oki ai i ka palaoa? E kahea aku au ia Iehova, a e haawi mai oia i ka hekili a me ka ua, i manao ai oukou, a i ike ai hoi, ua nui ko oukou hewa i hana'i oukou imua o Iehova, i ko oukou noi ana i alii no oukou.
18 And Samuel cried out to the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain on that day.
Kahea aku la o Samuela ia Iehova, a haawi mai o Iehova i ka hekili a me ka ua ia la: a makau nui iho la na kanaka a pau ia Iehova a ia Samuela.
19 And all the people feared the Lord and Samuel exceedingly. And all the people said to Samuel: “Pray, on behalf of your servants, to the Lord your God, so that we may not die. For we have added to all our sins this evil, that we would petition for a king.”
Olelo mai la na kanaka a pau ia Samuela, E pule oe ia Iehova i kou Akua no kau poe kauwa, i make ole ai makou: no ka mea, me na hewa a pau a makou, ua pakui makou i keia hewa hou, o ke noi ana i alii no makou.
20 Then Samuel said to the people: “Do not be afraid. You have done all this evil. Yet truly, do not choose to withdraw from the back of the Lord. Instead, serve the Lord with all your heart.
Olelo aku la o Samuela i na kanaka, Mai makau: ua hana oukou i keia hewa a pau: aka, mai huli ae oukou mai ka hahai ana ia Iehova, e malama oukou ia Iehova me ko oukou naau a pau.
21 And do not choose to turn aside after vanities, which will never benefit you, nor rescue you, since they are empty.
Mai huli ae oukou mamuli o na mea lapuwale, na mea hiki ole ke kokua mai, no ka mea, ua lapuwale lakou.
22 And the Lord will not abandon his people, because of his great name. For the Lord has sworn to make you his people.
No ka mea, aole e haalele mai o Iehova i kona poe kanaka no kona inoa nui; no ka mea, ua oluolu o Iehova e hoolilo ia oukou i poe kanaka nona.
23 So then, far be it from me, this sin against the Lord, that I would cease to pray for you. And so, I will teach you the good and upright way.
Owau hoi, aole loa wau e hana hewa ia Iehova ma ka hooki ana i ka pule no oukou: aka, e ao aku au ia oukou i ka aoao maikai a me ka pono.
24 Therefore, fear the Lord, and serve him in truth and from your whole heart. For you have seen the great works that he has done among you.
E makau nae oukou ia Iehova, a e hookauwa aku nana me ka oiaio me ko oukou naau a pau, no ka mea, e hoomanao oukou i na mea nui ana e hana mai ai no oukou.
25 But if you persevere in wickedness, both you and your king will perish together.”
Aka, i hana hewa mau oukou, e hoopauia auanei oukou, a me ko oukou alii.
