1 Samuel 12
1 Samuel said to all Israel, "Look, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made 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 Now, look, the king walks before you; and I am old and gray-headed; and look, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my youth to 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 Here I am. Testify against me before YHWH, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I taken a bribe, or a shoe? Testify against me, 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 They said, "You have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything of any man's hand."
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 He said to them, "YHWH is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand." They said, "He is 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 Samuel said to the people, "It is YHWH who appointed Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out 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 still, that I may plead with you before YHWH concerning all the righteous acts of YHWH, which he did 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 "When Jacob went into Egypt, and the Egyptians oppressed them, and your fathers cried to YHWH, then YHWH sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made 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 "But they forgot YHWH their God; and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain 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 And they cried to YHWH, and they said, 'We have sinned, because we have forsaken YHWH, and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of 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 YHWH sent Jerubbaal, and Barak, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you lived 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 "When you saw that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon came against you, you said to me, 'No, but a king shall reign over us;' when YHWH 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 Now therefore see the king whom you have chosen, and whom you have asked for: and look, YHWH has set 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 will fear YHWH, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of YHWH, and both you and also the king who reigns over you are followers of YHWH your God, then he will rescue you.
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 YHWH, but rebel against the commandment of YHWH, then the hand of YHWH will be against you, and against your king to destroy you.
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 therefore stand still and see this great thing, which YHWH will do 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 Isn't it wheat harvest today? I will call to YHWH, that he may send thunder and rain; and you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of YHWH, in asking for a 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 So Samuel called to YHWH; and YHWH sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared 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 All the people said to Samuel, "Pray for your servants to YHWH your God, that we not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask us 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 Samuel said to the people, "Do not be afraid. You have indeed done all this evil; yet do not turn aside from following YHWH, but serve 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 Do not turn aside to go after vain things which can't 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 will not forsake his people for his great name's sake, because it has pleased YHWH to make you a people to himself.
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 Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against YHWH in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right 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 serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great 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 shall still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king."
Aka, i hana hewa mau oukou, e hoopauia auanei oukou, a me ko oukou alii.
