Judges 21
1 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, "There shall not any of us give his daughter to Benjamin as 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 The people came to Bethel, and sat there until evening before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept severely.
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 They said, "YHWH God of Israel, why has this happened in Israel, that there should be today one tribe lacking in Israel?"
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 It happened on the next day 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 The children of Israel said, "Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who did not come up in the assembly to YHWH?" For they had made a great oath concerning anyone who did not come up to YHWH 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 The children of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and said, "There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
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 How shall we do for wives for those who remain, seeing we have sworn by YHWH that we will not give them of our daughters to 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 They said, "What one is there of the tribes of Israel who did not come up to YHWH to Mizpah?" Look, no one came to the camp from Jabesh Gilead 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 when the people were numbered, look, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead there.
A heluia na kanaka, aia hoi, aole malaila kekahi o ka poe i noho ma Iabesa Gileada.
10 The congregation sent there twelve thousand men of the most valiant, and commanded them, saying, "Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the little ones.
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 This is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has slept with a man, but the virgins you are to keep alive." And they did so.
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 They found among the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred young virgins who had never slept with a man; and they brought them to 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 The whole congregation sent and spoke to the people of Benjamin who were in the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them.
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 Benjamin returned at that time; and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh Gilead: and yet so they weren't enough for them.
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 The people grieved for Benjamin, because YHWH had made a gap 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 Then the elders of the congregation said, "How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed?"
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 They said, "How will an inheritance remain for the survivors of Benjamin, that a tribe not 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 However we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel had sworn, saying, 'Cursed is he who gives 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 They said, "Look, there is a feast of YHWH from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel 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 They commanded the people of Benjamin, saying, "Go 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 watch. If the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards, and each man catch his wife from the daughters of Shiloh, and go 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 It shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, that we will say to them, 'Grant them graciously to us, because we didn't take wives for each man in battle, neither did you give them to them, otherwise you would now 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 The people of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of those who danced, whom they carried off. They went and returned to their inheritance, built the cities, and lived 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 The children of Israel departed there 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 that which 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.
