1 Samuel 12
1 Then Samuel said to all of Israel, “I have paid attention to everything you asked from me, and I have given you a king to rule 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 Now your king is your leader. I am old and gray, and my sons are here with you. I have led you from the time I was a boy up to today.
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 I stand here before you. Bring any charges you have against me in the presence of the Lord and of his anointed one. Have I taken anyone's ox or donkey? Have I wronged anyone? Have I oppressed anyone? Have I accepted a bribe from anyone to turn a blind eye? Tell me, and I will repay 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 “No, you have never cheated or oppressed us,” they replied, “and you have never taken anything from 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 Samuel told them, “The Lord is a witness, and his anointed is a witness today, in this case involving you, that you have not found me guilty of anything.” “He is a witness,” they replied.
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 “The Lord is a witness, he who appointed Moses and Aaron,” Samuel went on. “He led your forefathers out of 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 So stand here as I present to you in the presence of the Lord the evidence of all the good things the Lord has done for you and your forefathers.
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 After Jacob had gone to Egypt, your fathers cried out to the Lord for help, and he sent Moses and Aaron to lead your forefathers out of Egypt and settle them here.
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 about the Lord their God, so he abandoned them to Sisera, the commander of the army of Hazor, to the Philistines, and to the king of Moab, who attacked 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 They cried out to the Lord for help and said, ‘We have sinned, for we have rejected the Lord and worshiped the Baals and Ashtoreths. Please save us from the hands of our enemies, and we will worship 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 Then the Lord sent Gideon, Barak, Jephthah and Samuel, and he saved you from your enemies who surrounded you so you could live in safety.
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 But when you saw that Nahash, king of the Ammonites, was coming to attack you, you told me, ‘No, we want our own king,’ even though the Lord your God was your king.
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 So here's the king you have chosen, the one you asked for. Look—the Lord now gives him to you as your 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 honor the Lord, worship him, do what he tells you, and don't rebel against the Lord's instructions, and if both you and your king follow the Lord your God, then good!
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 However, if you refuse to do what he tells you, and rebel against the Lord's instructions, then the Lord will be against you as he was against your forefathers.
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 Now stand still and watch what the Lord is going to do, right before your very eyes.
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 Isn't it the time of wheat harvest? Well, I will ask the Lord to send thunder and rain. Then you will realize how very evil you were in the Lord's sight when you demanded your own king.”
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 Then Samuel prayed to the Lord, and that very day the Lord sent thunder and rain. Everyone was in absolute awe of the Lord and of Samuel.
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 “Please pray to the Lord your God for us your servants, so we will not die!” they begged Samuel. “For we have added to all our sins the evil of asking for our own 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 “Don't be afraid,” Samuel replied. “Even though you have indeed done all these evil things, don't give up following the Lord, but dedicate yourselves completely to worshiping him.
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 Don't worship worthless idols that can't help you or save you, for they are nothing.
Mai huli ae oukou mamuli o na mea lapuwale, na mea hiki ole ke kokua mai, no ka mea, ua lapuwale lakou.
22 The fact is because of the kind of person the Lord is, he won't give up on his people, because he was happy to claim you as his own.
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 As for me, how could I sin against the Lord by no longer praying for you. I will also continue to teach you the way of goodness and right.
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 Make sure you honor God and worship him faithfully, with complete dedication. Think of all the tremendous things he has done for 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 continue to do what is evil, you and your king will be wiped out.”
Aka, i hana hewa mau oukou, e hoopauia auanei oukou, a me ko oukou alii.
