1 Samuel 12
1 And Samuel says to all Israel, “Behold, I have listened to your voice, to all that you said to me, and I cause a king to reign 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, behold, the king is habitually walking before you, and I have become aged and gray-headed, and my sons, behold, they [are] with you, and I have habitually walked before you from my youth until this day.
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 Behold, here I [am]; testify against me before YHWH, and before His anointed; whose ox have I taken, and whose donkey have I taken, and whom have I oppressed; whom have I bruised, and of whose hand have I taken a ransom, and hide my eyes with it? And I 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 say, “You have not oppressed us, nor have you crushed 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 says to them, “YHWH [is] a witness against you, and His anointed [is] a witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand”; and they say, “A 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 says to the people, “YHWH [is] He who made Moses and Aaron, and who brought up your fathers 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 And now, station yourselves, and I judge you before YHWH, with all the righteous acts of YHWH, which He did with you, and with 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 When Jacob has come to Egypt, and your fathers cry to YHWH, then YHWH sends Moses and Aaron, and they bring out your fathers from Egypt, and cause them to dwell in 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 and they forget their God YHWH, and He sells them into the hand of Sisera, head of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fight 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 and they cry to YHWH, and say, We have sinned, because we have forsaken YHWH, and serve the Ba‘alim, and Ashtaroth, and now, deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we 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 YHWH sends Jerubba‘al, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivers you out of the hand of your surrounding enemies, and you dwell confidently.
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 And you see that Nahash king of the sons of Ammon has come against you, and you say to me, No, but a king reigns over us; and your God YHWH [is] 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 And now, behold the king whom you have chosen—whom you have asked for! And behold, YHWH has placed a king over you.
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 fear YHWH, and have served Him, and listened to His voice, then you do not provoke the mouth of YHWH, and you have been—both you and the king who has reigned over you—after your God YHWH.
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 And if you do not listen to the voice of YHWH—then you have provoked the mouth of YHWH, and the hand of YHWH has been against you, and against 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 Also now, station yourselves and see this great thing which YHWH is doing before your 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 is it not wheat-harvest today? I call to YHWH, and He gives voices and rain; and know and see that your evil is great which you have done in the eyes of YHWH, to ask [for] a king for yourselves.”
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 calls to YHWH, and YHWH gives voices and rain on that day, and all the people greatly fear YHWH and 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 and all the people say to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to your God YHWH, and we do not die, for we have added evil to all our sins to ask [for] a king for ourselves.”
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 And Samuel says to the people, “Do not fear; you have done all this evil; only, do not turn aside from after YHWH—and you have served YHWH 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 you do not turn aside after the vain things which do not profit nor deliver, for they [are] vain,
Mai huli ae oukou mamuli o na mea lapuwale, na mea hiki ole ke kokua mai, no ka mea, ua lapuwale lakou.
22 for YHWH does not leave His people, on account of His great Name; for YHWH has been pleased to make you for a people to Him.
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 I, also, far be it from me to sin against YHWH, by ceasing to pray for you, and I have directed you in 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 only, fear YHWH, and you have served Him in truth with all your heart, for see that which He has made great with 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 and if you really do evil, both you and your king are consumed.”
Aka, i hana hewa mau oukou, e hoopauia auanei oukou, a me ko oukou alii.
