< Judges 7 >

1 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early, and camped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
A LAILA, o Ierubaala, oia hoi o Gideona, a me na kanaka a pau me ia, ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui, a hoomakaukau iho la ma ka luawai o Haroda. Aia hoi ka puali o ko Midiana ma ka aoao kukulu akau o lakou, ma ka papu e kokoke ana i ka puu o More.
2 YHWH said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, 'My own hand has saved me.'
I mai la o Iehova ia Gideona, Ua nui loa ka poe kanaka me oe, nolaila, aole pono ia'u ke haawi i ko Midiana i ko lakou lima, o hookiekie auanei ka Iseraela imua o'u me ka olelo iho, Na kuu lima iho wau i hoola mai nei.
3 Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, 'Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.' There returned of the people twenty-two thousand; but ten thousand remained.
No ia mea la ea, e hea aku oe ma na pepeiao o kanaka, e i aku, O ka mea hopohopo, a makau hoi, e hoi ia, a e haalele i ka mauna o Gileada. A hoi aku la, he iwakaluakumamalua tausani kanaka, a koe iho he umi tausani.
4 YHWH said to Gideon, "The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I tell you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whoever I tell you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.
I mai la o Iehova ia Gideona, Ua nui loa na kanaka i koe. E kai mai oe ia lakou ilalo i ka wai, a na'u no e hoao ia lakou nou malaila; a o ka mea a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe, Eia ka mea hele me oe, oia ke hele; a o ka mea a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe, aole hele keia me oe, aole ia e hele.
5 So he brought down the people to the water. And YHWH said to Gideon, "Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall put to one side; and everyone who gets down on his knees to drink with hand to mouth shall be on the other side."
Kai mai la ia i kanaka ilalo i ka wai; i iho la o Iehova ia Gideona, O kela mea keia mea, e palu ana i ka wai, me kona alelo, e like me ko ka ilio palu ana, oia kau e hoonoho ai ma o lakou la; a pela hoi kela mea keia mea e kukuli iho ma kona mau kuli e inu.
6 The number of those who lapped with their tongues was three hundred men, but all the rest of the people got down on their knees to drink water.
A o ka helu ana i ka poe i palu, e kapi ana ka lima, a i ko lakou waha, ekolu haneri kanaka. Aka, o na kanaka e a pau loa, kukuli iho la lakou a pau ma ko lakou mau kuli, e inu wai.
7 YHWH said to Gideon, "By the three hundred men who lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand; and let all the people go every man to his home."
I mai la o Iehova ia Gideona, Ma keia poe kanaka, ekolu haneri, ka poe i palu e hoola aku ai au ia oukou, a e haawi iho no i ko Midiana i kou lima; e kuu aku hoi i na kanaka e a pau, e hoi i ko lakou wahi.
8 So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men. And the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
Lawe na kanaka i wahi o, ma ko lakou lima, a me ko lakou mau pu; a hoouna aku la ia i ka Iseraela a pau, i kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona halelewa iho, a hookoe iho i kela poe kanaka, ekolu haneri. A aia hoi ka puali o ko Midiana malalo iho ona, ma ka papu.
9 It happened the same night, that YHWH said to him, "Arise, get down into the camp; for I have delivered it into your hand.
Ia po iho, olelo mai o Iehova ia ia, E ala ae, a e iho ilalo i ka puali; no ka mea, ua hoolilo au ia lakou i kou lima.
10 But if you fear to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp:
Aka, ina makau oe ke iho ilalo, e hele pu olua me kou kanaka me Pura, a hiki i ka puali.
11 and you shall hear what they say; and afterward will your hands be strengthened to go down into the camp." Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp.
E hoolohe oe i ka mea a lakou e olelo ai, a mahope iho, e ikaika auanei kou lima ke iho ilalo i ka puali. Alaila, iho aku la ia ilalo me Pura kona kanaka, a hiki i ka welau o ka poe kaua ma ka puali.
12 And Midian, Amalek, and all the Kedemites lay along in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand which is on the seashore.
E moe ana ko Midiana a me ka Ameleka, a me na kanaka a pau o ka hikina, ma kahi papu, ua like me na uhini ka nui loa; a o ka lakou poe kamelo, aole i pau i ka heluia, ua like me na one o kahakai ka nui.
13 When Gideon had come, look, there was a man telling a dream to his friend; and he said, "Look, I had a dream, and look, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent collapsed."
A hiki aku la o Gideona, aia hoi, e hai ana kekahi kanaka i ka moe i kona hoa, i ae la, Ua moe au i ka moe, aia hoi, he popo palaoa huluhulu i olokaa mai nei iloko o ka puali o ko Midiana, a hiki i kekahi halelewa, pa aku ia, a hina ia, a hoohiolo, mai luna mai, a palaha ae la ka halelewa.
14 His friend answered, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. Into his hand God has delivered Midian, and all the army."
I ae la kona hoa ia ia, Aole keia he mea e, o ka pahikaua wale no a Gideona, ke keiki a Ioasa, he kanaka no ka Iseraela. Ua hoolilo o Iehova i ko Midiana, a me ka puali a pau i kona lima.
15 It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshiped, and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, "Get up, for YHWH has delivered into your hand the army of Midian."
A i ka manawa i lohe ai o Gideona i ka hai ana o ka moe, a me ka hoakakaia, hoomana aku la ia, a hoi hou aku la i ka puali o ka Iseraela, i iho la, E ku ae iluna, no ka mea, ua hoolilo o Iehova i ka puali o ko Midiana i ko oukou lima.
16 He divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.
Mahele ae la oia i kela poe kanaka ekolu haneri, i ekolu poe, a haawi ae la i na pu i ka lima o lakou a pau, a me ka ipu kaawale, he lamaku ko loko.
17 He said to them, "Look at me, and do likewise. And look, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall do.
I aku la ia lakou, E nana mai oukou ia'u, a e hana like, aia hiki aku la au i ka palena o kahi e hoomoana'i, e like me ka'u hana ana, pela oukou e hana'i.
18 When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, "For YHWH and for Gideon."
A i puhi aku au i ka pu, ea, owau, a me ka poe me au, alaila, e puhi oukou i na pu ma na aoao a pau o kahi hoomoana'i a pau, me ka i aku, No Iehova a me Gideona.
19 So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
Alaila, hele mai la o Gideona, a me ka haneri kanaka pu me ia, a hiki i ka palena o kahi hoomoana'i i ka mua o ka wati waena, akahi no lakou i hoonoho ia wati. Puhi iho la lakou i ka pu, a wawahi ae la na ipu ma ko lakou mau lima.
20 The three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they called out, "The sword of YHWH and of Gideon.'"
O kela mau poe ekolu, puhi no lakou i na pu, a wawahi ae la i na ipu, a paa iho la na lama ma ko lakou mau lima hema, a o na pu ma ko lakou mau lima akau, e puhi. Hea aku la lakou, Ka pahikaua a Iehova a me Gideona.
21 They each stood in his place every man around the camp; and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
Ku no kela kanaka keia kanaka ma kona wahi iho, a puni kahi i hoomoana'i. Holo aku la ka puali a pau, a uwa aku la, a hee.
22 They blew the three hundred trumpets, and YHWH set every man's sword against each other throughout the camp; and the army fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.
Puhi iho la na haneri ekolu i ka pu, a hookau mai la o Iehova i ka pahikaua a kela kanaka keia kanaka maluna o lakou iho, ma ka puali a pau; a holo aku la ka puali, a hiki i Betesita, ma Zererata, ma ka mokuna o Abelamehola, a me Tabata.
23 The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
A akoakoa mai la na kanaka o Iseraela, no ka Napetali mai, a no ka Asera mai, a no ka Manase mai, a hahai aku la i ko Midiana.
24 Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against Midian, and capture the waters, as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan." So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and seized the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan.
Hoouna aku la o Gideona i mau elele ma ka mauna a pau o Eperaima, i aku la, E iho mai oukou e halawai me ko Midiana, a e lawe lilo i ko lakou wai, a hiki i Betebara, a me Ioredane. Alaila akoakoa mai na kanaka o Eperaima, a lilo ia lakou na wai, a hiki i Betebara, a me Ioredane:
25 They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian. Then they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
A pio ia lakou na'lii elua o ko Midiana, o Oreba, a me Zeeba; a pepehi lakou ia Oreba ma Pohaku Oreba, a pepehi lakou ia Zeeba ma Pawaina-Zeba, A hahai lakou i ko Midiana, a lawe mai la i na poo o Oreba a me Zeeba ia Gideona ma kela aoao o Ioredane.
