Judges 21
1 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, Not any of us shall give his daughter unto Benjamin for wife.
U A hoohiki mua na kanaka o ka Iseraela ma Mizepa, i ae la, Aole e haawi kekahi o lakou i kana kaikamahine i wahine na ka Beniamina.
2 And the people came to Beth-el, and abode there till the evening, before God, and they lifted up their voices, and wept with a great lamentation;
Hele mai la na kanaka i ka hale o ke Akua, noho iho la malaila a ahiahi imua i ke alo o ke Akua, hookiekie ae la i ko lakou leo, a uwe nui iho la.
3 And they said, Wherefore, O Lord, God of Israel, is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be lacking this day out of Israel one tribe?
I iho la, E Iehova, e ke Akua o Iseraela e, no ke aha la i hiki mai ai keia iloko o ka Iseraela, i nalowale kekahi ohana maloko o ka Iseraela i keia la?
4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings.
Ia la iho, ala mai na kanaka i kakahiaka nui, a hana iho la i lele a kaumaha aku la i na mohai kuni, a me na mohai hoomalu.
5 And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the Lord? For there had been taken the great oath concerning him that came not up to the Lord to Mizpah, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
Ninau ae la na mamo a Iseraela, Owai ka mea iwaena o na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, i hele pu ole mai me ka ahakanaka ia Iehova? No ka mea, hoohiki nui loa lakou no ke kanaka i pii ole mai ia Iehova i Mizepa, i ae la, E oiaio no e pepehiia oia.
6 And the children of Israel felt regret for Benjamin their brother, and they said, One tribe hath this day been cut down from Israel.
Minamina iho la na mamo a Iseraela i ka Beniamina, i ko lakou kaikaina, i ae la, I keia la, ua moku aku la kekahi ohana mai ka Iseraela aku.
7 What shall we do as respecteth wives for those that remain, since we have sworn by the Lord that we will give none of our daughters unto them for wives?
Pehea la kakou e hana'i, i loaa na wahine i ka poe i koe o lakou? No ka mea, ua hoohiki kakou ia Iehova, e haawi ole kakou i ka kakou mau kaikamahine, i wahine na lakou.
8 And they said, what one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up unto the Lord to Mizpah? And, behold, there had not come to the camp a man from Yabesh-gil'ad to the assembly.
Ninau aku la lakou, Owai kekahi ohana o ka Iseraela, i pii ole mai i Mizepa ia Iehova? Aia hoi, aohe mea i hele mai o na kanaka o Iabesa Gileada i ka ahakanaka i kahi hoomoana'i.
9 For the people were numbered, and, behold, there was not present a man of the inhabitants of Yabesh-gil'ad.
A heluia na kanaka, aia hoi, aole malaila kekahi o ka poe i noho ma Iabesa Gileada.
10 And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand persons of the valiant men, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Yabesh-gil'ad with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
Hoouna aku la ka ahakanaka i umikumamalua tausani kanaka, o ka poe koa loa, a kauoha aku la ia lakou, i aku la, E hele, e luku i kanaka o Iabesa Gileada, me ka maka o ka pahikaua, i na wahine a me na keiki.
11 And this is the thing that ye shall do, every male, and every woman that hath known [man] by lying with him, shall ye devote.
Eia ka mea a oukou e hana'i. E luku loa oukou i na kane a pau a me na wahine a pau i ike i ka moe ana i ke kane.
12 And they found among the inhabitants of Yabesh-gil'ad four hundred young virgins that had not known man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
A loaa ia lakou maloko o ka poe i noho ma Iabesa Gileada, eha haneri kaikamahine puupaa i ike ole i ka moe kane ana. A lawe mai lakou ia poe i kahi hoomoana ai ma Silo, ma ka aina o Kanaana.
13 And the whole congregation sent and spoke to the children of Benjamin that were on the rock Rimmon, and offered them peace.
Hoouna aku la ka ahakanaka a pau, olelo aku la i na mamo a Beniamina, ma ka pohaku o Rimona, a hai aku la i ka malu ia lakou.
14 And Benjamin returned at that time: and they gave unto them the wives whom they had saved alive out of the women of Yabesh-gil'ad; but they found not sufficient for them in this way.
Hoi mai la ka Beniamina ia manawa, a haawi mai la kela poe ia lakou nei i wahine na lakou i ka poe a lakou i hoola'i ma Iabesa Gileada; aole hoi i lawa ia lakou.
15 And the people felt regret for Benjamin; because that the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
Minamina iho la na kanaka i ka Beniamina, no ka mea, ua hookahuliia e Iehova kekahi ohana o ka Iseraela.
16 And the elders of the congregation said, What shall we do for those that remain as respecteth wives; because the women have been destroyed out of Benjamin?
Alaila, olelo iho la na lunakahiko i ka ahakanaka, Heaha ka makou e hana'i, i loaa'i na wahine i ka poe o lakou i koe? No ka mea, ua lukuia na wahine o ka Beniamina.
17 And they said, Their inheritance must be secured for Benjamin, that not a tribe may be blotted out from Israel.
I iho la lakou, I ainahooili no ka poe i pakele o Beniamina, i anai ole ia kekahi ohana, mailoko aku o ka Iseraela.
18 Nevertheless we ourselves are not able to give them wives of our daughters; for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
Aka, aole hiki ia kakou ke haawi i ka kakou mau kaikamahine iho, i wahine na lakou; no ka mea, ua hoohiki na mamo a Iseraela me ka olelo iho, E ahewaia ka mea nana e haawi aku i wahine na ka Beniamina.
19 And they said, Behold, there is a feast of the Lord in Shiloh from year to year [at a place] which is on the north side of Beth-el, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
Olelo iho la lakou, Aia hoi, he ahaaina ko Iehova i kela makahiki, i keia makahiki, ma Silo, ma ka aoao akau o Betelehema, a ma ka aoao hikina o ke kuamoo e hiki aku ai, mai Betela i Sekema, a ma ka aoao hema hoi o Lebona.
20 And they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go ye and lie in wait in the vineyards;
Alaila, kauoha aku la lakou i na mamo a Beniamina, i aku la, O hele a moe malu ma na pawaina;
21 And look out, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh go out to dance in dances: then come ye forth out of the vineyards, and snatch you every man his wife from the daughters of Shiloh, and go then to the land of Benjamin.
E nana oukou, aia hele mai na kaikamahine o Silo e hula ma na hula, alaila e hele mai oukou, mailoko mai o na pawaina, a e hopu kela kanaka keia kanaka i wahine nana, no ka kaikamahine o Silo, a e hoi i ka aina o Beniamina.
22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to contend with us, that we will say unto them, Be favorable unto them for our sakes; because we took not for each man his wife in the war; [and] because ye yourselves did not give them unto them, that ye should at this time be guilty.
A hiki i ka manawa, e hele mai ai io kakou nei, ko lakou mau makuakane, a o ko lakou mau kaikunane paha, e hoopii mai, alaila, e olelo makou ia lakou, E lokomaikai mai oukou ia makou, ma o lakou la; no ka mea, aole makou i malama i wahine na kela kanaka keia kanaka, ma ke kaua ana, aole hoi oukou i haawi na lakou i keia wa, i mea e hewa ai oukou.
23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took themselves wives, according to their number, from the dancers whom they had stolen away; and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and rebuilt the cities, and dwelt in them.
A hana iho la na mamo a Beniamina pela, a lawe i na wahine a lakou i hopu ai ma ke kula, e like me ko lakou helu ana. A hele lakou, a hoi aku i ko lakou aina, a hoomakaukau hou i na kulanakauhale, a noho iho la malaila.
24 And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from there every man to his inheritance.
Ia manawa, hele aku la na mamo a Iseraela, mailaila aku, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona aina iho, a i kona hoahanau, a malaila aku lakou i hele ai, o kela kanaka, keia kanaka, i kona ainahooili iho.
25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did what was right in his own eyes.
Ia manawa, aohe alii ma ka Iseraela; hana iho la kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka mea i pono ma kona mau maka.
