Judges 2
1 Yahweh [appeared in the form of] an angel [and] went up from Gilgal to [a place that was later called] Bokim. He said [to the Israeli people], “I brought your [ancestors] up here from Egypt. I led them into this land that I solemnly promised to give to your ancestors. I said to them, ‘The agreement that I made with you, as for me, I will never (break it/say that it is ended).
HELE mai la ka anela o Iehova, mai Gilegala mai, a i Bokima, i mai la, Ua lawe mai au ia oukou mai Aigupita mai, a ua hookomo mai au ia oukou i ka aina a'u i hoohiki ai i ko oukou mau kupuna. I iho la au, Aole au e uhai i ka'u berita, a hiki loa i ka hopena.
2 But as for you, you must never make a peace agreement with the people who live in this land. You must tear down the altars [where they make sacrifices to idols].’ But you have not obeyed me.
Mai hana oukou i berita me ka poe e noho ana ma keia aina, e hoohiolo no oukou i ko lakou mau kuahu. Aole oukou i hoolohe i ko'u leo. No ke aha la oukou i hana'i i keia?
3 So now, I am telling you that I will not expel [your enemies] as you advance. They will be like thorns in your sides. And [they] will try to trap you [by making you worship] their idols.”
Nolaila au i olelo ai, Aole au e kipaku ia lakou, mai ko oukou alo aku, a e lilo lakou i poe enemi no oukou; a e lilo ko lakou mau akua i mea e hihia ai oukou.
4 After he told that to all the Israelis, the people cried loudly.
A i ka wa i olelo ai ka anela o Iehova i keia mau olelo i na mamo a pau a Iseraela, hookiekie ae la na kanaka i ko lakou leo, uwe iho la.
5 They called that place Bokim, [which means ‘weeping’]. There they offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
Kapa aku la lakou i ka inoa o ia wahi, Bokima. A malaila lakou i mohai aku ai no Iehova.
6 After Joshua sent the Israeli people away, each group went to possess the land that had been allotted to them.
I ka wa i kuu aku ai o Iosua i kanaka, alaila hele aku la kela kanaka keia kanaka o na mamo a Iseraela i kona hooilina iho, a komo i ka aina.
7 They served Yahweh as long as Joshua was alive, and as long as the elders, those who had seen all the great things that Yahweh had done for Israel, were alive.
Malama no na kanaka ia Iehova i na la a pau o Iosua, a i na la a pau o na lunakahiko i ola mahope iho o Iosua, ka poe i ike i na hana nui a pau a Iehova i hana mai ai no ka Iseraela.
8 Then Yahweh’s servant Joshua died. He was 110 years old when he died.
A make iho la o Iosua, ke keiki a Nuna, ke kauwa a Iehova, hookahi no haneri kona mau makahiki me ka umi keu.
9 They buried his body in the area he had received [from Moses], at Timnath-Serah, in the area where the descendants of Ephraim lived, north of Gaash Mountain.
A kanu iho la lakou ia ia ma ke kihi o kona aina, me Timenaheresa, ma ka puu o Eperaima, ma ke kukulu akau o ka puu o Gaasa.
10 After all the people died who lived at the same time as Joshua [EUP], a group of people grew up who did not know Yahweh, and did not know what great things he had done for the Israeli people.
Hui pu ia'e la ia hanauna a pau me ko lakou poe makua: a ala mai la kekahi hanauna hou, mahope mai o lakou, aole lakou i ike ia Iehova, aole hoi i na hana ana i hana mai ai no ka Iseraela.
11 They did things that Yahweh said were very evil. They worshiped [idols that represented the god] Baal and the goddess Astarte. They worshiped [DOU] the various gods that the people-groups around them worshiped. They stopped worshiping Yahweh, the God their ancestors worshiped, the one who had brought their ancestors out of Egypt. That caused Yahweh to be very angry.
Hana hewa aku la na mamo a Iseraela imua o Iehova, a malama lakou ia Baala.
Haalele lakou ia Iehova, i ke Akua o ko lakou poe makua, i ka mea i lawe mai ai ia lakou mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, a hahai lakou mamuli o na'kua e, i na'kua o ka poe kanaka e noho poai ana ia lakou, a kulou imua o lakou, a hoonaukiuki aku la ia Iehova.
Haalele lakou ia Iehova, a malama iho la ia Baala a me Asetarota.
14 So he allowed people from other groups to raid them and steal their crops and animals. They were no longer able to resist their enemies, and Yahweh allowed all their enemies around them to defeat them.
Wela iho la ka huhu o Iehova i ka Iseraela, a haawi ae la ia lakou i ka lima o ka poe hao, a hao ae la ia poe i ka lakou, a hoolilo aku oia ia lakou i ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, e noho poai ana ia lakou, aole hiki ia lakou ke ku hou imua o ko lakou poe enemi.
15 Whenever the Israelis went to fight [their enemies], Yahweh [MTY] was opposing them, and allowed their enemies to defeat them, just as he had promised he would do. So the Israelis were greatly distressed.
Ma na wahi a pau a lakou i hele aku ai, ku e no ka lima o Iehova ia lakou i mea e hewa'i, e like me ka Iehova i hoohiki mai ai ia lakou; a pilikia loa iho la lakou.
16 Then Yahweh gave leaders to them. These leaders rescued the Israelis from the people who were raiding them.
Hoala mai no nae o Iehova i na lunakanawai, a hoola ae la lakou i ka Iseraela mailoko ae o ka lima o ka poe i hao i ka lakou.
17 But the Israelis still would not pay attention to their leaders. Instead, they went to the idols, [acting like] prostitutes [who gave themselves to men who were not their husbands] [MET], and they worshiped those idols. They were not like their ancestors. Their ancestors obeyed what Yahweh commanded, but their descendants quickly stopped behaving as their ancestors had behaved.
Aole hoi lakou i hoolohe i na lunakanawai; aka, moe kolohe lakou mamuli o na'kua e, a kulou hoomana aku la ia lakou. Haalele koke lakou i ke ala a ko lakou poe makua i hele ai, me ka hoolohe pono i ke kauoha a Iehova; aole hana keia poe pela.
18 Whenever Yahweh gave a leader to them, he helped that leader and enabled him to rescue the people from their enemies. He helped them like that as long as that leader was alive. Yahweh pitied them as they groaned because they were being oppressed and caused to suffer.
A i ka wa i hoala mai ai o Iehova i na lunakanawai no lakou, alaila, noho pu o Iehova me ka lunakanawai, a hoola no ia ia lakou, mai ka lima ae o ko lakou poe enemi, i na la a pau o ia lunakanawai; no ka mea, minamina o Iehova, no ko lakou kaniuhu ana i ka hoopilikiaia, a me ka hookaumahaia mai.
19 But after that leader died, the people went back to behaving in ways even more evil than their ancestors had behaved. They worshiped other gods and bowed down to them and did all [LIT] the things that they thought those gods wanted them to do.
A i ka wa i make ai ka lunakanawai, hoi hou no lakou, a oi aku no ko lakou hewa mamua o ko lakou poe makua, ma ka hahai ana mamuli o na'kua e, e malama ia lakou, a e kulou hoomana ia lakou. Aole lakou i hooki iki i ka lakou hana, aole i ko lakou aoao paakiki.
20 So Yahweh was very angry with the Israeli people. He said, “These people have disobeyed the agreement I made with their ancestors. They have not done what I told them to do.
Wela iho la ka huhu o Iehova i ka Iseraela, i ae la ia, No ka hehi ana o keia poe kanaka maluna o ka'u berita, a'u i kauoha aku ai i ko lakou poe makua, aole hoi i hoolohe i ko'u leo;
21 So I will no longer expel the people-groups that Joshua left in this land when he died.
Nolaila, aole au e kipaku hou, mai ko lakou alo aku, i kekahi o ko na aina a Iosua i waiho ai i kona make ana.
22 I will use them to test the Israeli people to see whether they will do what I want them to do, as their ancestors did.”
I hoao aku ai au i ka Iseraela ma o lakou la, i malama paha lakou i ka aoao o Iehova, e hele malaila, e like me ka malama ana o ko lakou poe makua, aole paha.
23 Yahweh had allowed those people-groups to stay in that land. He did not expel them by allowing Joshua [and his men] to defeat them.
Waiho no o Iehova i ko ia mau aina, aole ia i kipaku koke aku ia lakou; aole hoi i haawi mai ia lakou i ka lima o Iosua.
