< Judges 21 >
1 And the men of Israel have sworn in Mizpeh, saying, 'None of us doth give his daughter to Benjamin for a 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 And the people come in to Beth-El, and sit there till the evening before God, and lift up their voice, and weep — a great weeping,
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 and say, 'Why, O Jehovah, God of Israel, hath this been in Israel — to be lacking to-day, from Israel, one tribe?'
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 And it cometh to pass on the morrow, that the people rise early, and build there an altar, and cause to ascend 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 And the sons of Israel say, 'Who [is] he that hath not come up in the assembly out of all the tribes of Israel unto Jehovah?' for the great oath hath been concerning him who hath not come up unto Jehovah to Mizpeh, saying, 'He is surely 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 And the sons of Israel repent concerning Benjamin their brother, and say, 'There hath been to-day cut off one tribe from Israel,
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 what do we do for them — for those who are left — for wives, and we — we have sworn by Jehovah not to give to them of our daughters for 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 And they say, 'Who is [that] one out of the tribes of Israel who hath not come up unto Jehovah to Mizpeh?' and lo, none hath come in unto the camp from Jabesh-Gilead — unto 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 And the people numbered themselves, and lo, there is not there a man of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead.
A heluia na kanaka, aia hoi, aole malaila kekahi o ka poe i noho ma Iabesa Gileada.
10 And the company send there twelve thousand men of the sons of valour, and command them, saying, 'Go — and ye have smitten the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead by the mouth of the sword, even the women and the infants.
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 And this [is] the thing which ye do; every male, and every woman knowing the lying of a male, ye devote.'
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 And they find out of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead four hundred young women, virgins, who have not known man by the lying of a male, and they bring them in unto the camp at 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 And all the company send, and speak, unto the sons of Benjamin who [are] in the rock Rimmon, and proclaim to them peace;
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 and Benjamin turneth back at that time, and they give to them the women whom they have kept alive of the women of Jabesh-Gilead, and they have not found for [all of] them so.
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 And the people repented concerning Benjamin, for Jehovah had made a breach among 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 And the elders of the company say, 'What do we do to the remnant for wives — for the women have been destroyed out of Benjamin?'
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 And they say, 'A possession of an escaped party [is] to Benjamin, and a tribe is not 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 and we — we are not able to give to them wives out of our daughters, for the sons of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed [is] he who is giving 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 And they say, 'Lo, a festival of Jehovah [is] in Shiloh, from time to time, which [is] on the north of Beth-El, at the rising of the sun, by the highway which is going up from Beth-El 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 And they command the sons of Benjamin, saying, 'Go — and ye have laid 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 have seen, and lo, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances — then ye have gone out from the vineyards, and caught for you each his wife out of the daughters of Shiloh, and gone 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 and it hath been, when their fathers or their brethren come in to plead unto us, that we have said unto them, Favour us [by] them, for we have not taken [to] each his wife in battle, for ye — ye have not given to them at this time [that] ye are 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 And the sons of Benjamin do so, and take women according to their number, out of the dancers whom they have taken violently away; and they go, and turn back unto their inheritance, and build the cities, and dwell 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 And the sons of Israel go up and down thence at that time, each to his tribe, and to his family; and they go out thence each 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 is no king in Israel; each doth that which is 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.
