I Na Lii 12
1 HELE aku la o Rehoboama i Sekema, no ka mea, ua hele ka Iseraela a pau i Sekema e hooalii ia ia.
And king Roboam goes to Sikima; for all Israel were coming to Sikima to make him king.
2 Eia hoi kekahi, a lohe mai la o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata e noho ana ia ma Aigupita, (no ka mea, ua holo aku la ia mai ke alo aku o Solomona a ke alii, a noho no Ieroboama ma Aigupita; )
3 Hoouna aku la lakou a kii ia ia; a hele mai Ieroboama a me ke anaina a pau o ka Iseraela, a olelo aku la lakou ia Hehoboama, i aku la.
And the people spoke to king Roboam, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy;
4 Ua hookaumaha mai la kou makuakane i ka makou auamo; ano hoi e hoomama oe i ka hana ehaeha a kou makuakane, a me ka auamo kaumaha ana i kau mai ai maluna o makou, alaila e malama aku makou ia oe.
but do you now lighten somewhat of the hard service of your father, and of his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve you.
5 I mai la oia ia lakou, O hoi oukou i na la ekolu, alaila e hele hou mai io'u nei. Hoi aku la no hoi na kanaka.
And he said to them, Depart for three days, and return to me. And they departed.
6 A kukakuka mai la o Rehoboama me na kanaka kahiko, ka poe i ku ma ke alo o Solomona kona makuakane, i kona wa e ola ana, ninau mai la, Pehea ia oukou e olelo mai ai e hai aku au i keia poe kanaka?
And the king referred [the matter] to the elders, who stood before Solomon his father while he was yet living, saying, How do you advise that I should answer this people?
7 Olelo aku la lakou ia ia, i aku la, Ina e hookahu oe no keia poe kanaka i keia la, a e malama ia lakou, a e hai aku ia lakou, me ka olelo i na huaolelo pono ia lakou, alaila lilo lakou i poe kauwa mau nau.
And they spoke to him, saying, If you will this day be a servant to this people, and will serve them, and will speak to them good words, then will they be your servants continually.
8 Haalele ae la oia i ka olelo a ka poe kanaka kahiko, a lakou i haawi ai ia ia, a kukakuka mai la me na kanaka ui i nunui pu ae me ia, na mea i ku imua o kona alo:
But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they gave him, and consulted with the young men who were brought up with him, who stood in his presence.
9 Olelo mai la hoi oia ia lakou, Heaha ka olelo a oukou e olelo mai ai, e hai aku ai kakou i keia poe kanaka, ka poe i olelo mai ia'u, i ka i aua mai, E hoomama oe i ka auamo a kou makuakane i kau mai ai maluna o makou?
And he said to them, What counsel do you give? And what shall I answer to this people who speak to me, saying, Lighten somewhat of the yoke which your father has put upon us?
10 Olelo aku la hoi ia ia na kanaka ui i nunui pu ae me ia, i aku la, Penei oe e olelo aku ai i keia poe kanaka i olelo ae nei ia oe, i ka i ana'e, Ua hookaumaha mai la kou makuakane i ka makou auamo; aka, e hoomama mai oe ia mea ia makou; e olelo aku oe ia lakou peneia, E kela aku ka manoanoa o kuu limaiki i ko ka puhaka o ko'u makuakane.
And the young men who had been brought up with him, who stood before his face, spoke to him, saying, Thus shall you say to this people who have spoken to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and do you now lighten it from off us: thus shall say to them, My little [finger shall be] thicker than my father's loins.
11 Eia hoi ua hooili ka ko'u makuakane i ka auamo kaumaha maluna o oukou, o hoouka hou aku au ma ka oukou auamo; ua hahau ko'u makuakane ia oukou me na huipa, aka, e hahau aku au ia oukou me na moohueloawa.
And whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I also will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 Pela i hoi mai ai o Ieroboama a me ka poe kanaka a pau io Rehoboama la i ke kolu o ka la, e like me ka ke alii i hoomaopopo ai, i ka i ana mai, E hoi mai oukou io'u nei i ke kolu o ka la.
And all Israel came to king Roboam on the third day, as the king spoke to them, saying, Return to me on the third day.
13 Hai mai la ke alii i kanaka me ka oolea, a ua haalele aku i ka olelo a ka poe kanaka kahiko, a lakou i haawi aku ai ia ia;
And the king answered the people harshly; and Roboam forsook the counsel of the old men which they counselled him.
14 A olelo mai la hoi ia lakou mamuli o ka olelo a na kanaka ui, i mai la, Ua hookaumaha ko'u makuakane i ka oukou auamo, aka, e hoouka hou aku au ma ka oukou auamo; ua hahau ko'u makuakane ia oukou me na huipa, aka, e hahau aku wau ia oukou me na moohueloawa.
And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15 Aole hoi i hoolohe ke alii i kanaka, no ka mea, no ka Haku mai no ia, i hooko mai oia i kana olelo a Iehova i olelo mai ai ma ka lima o Ahiia no Silo, ia Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata.
And the king listened not to the people, because the change was from the Lord, that he might establish his word which he spoke by Achia the Selonite concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
16 A ike ae la ka Iseraela a pau, i ka hoolohe ole mai o ke alii ia lakou, olelo aku la ka poe kanaka i ke alii, e i ana, Heaha ko makou kuleana iloko o Davida? aole hooilina iloko o ke keiki a Iese. I ko oukou mau halelewa, e ka Iseraela: ano hoi, e nana i kau ohana iho, e Davida. Pela i hoi ai ka Iseraela i ko lakou mau halelewa.
And all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them: and the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we any inheritance in the son of Jessae. Depart, O Israel, to your tents: now feed your own house, David. So Israel departed to his tents.
17 A o na mamo a Iseraela e noho ana ma na kulanakauhale o Davida, ua alii ae la o Hehoboama maluna o lakou.
18 Alaila hoouna ae la o Rehoboama ia Adorama, ka lunaauhau, a hailuku ka Iseraela a pau ia ia me na pohaku a make ia. Nolaila hele wikiwiki ae la o Rehoboama ke alii e ee ae i kona kaa, e holo i Ierusalema.
And the king sent Adoniram who was over the tribute; and they stoned him with stones, and he died: and king Roboam made haste to rise to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Pela i kipi ai ka Iseraela i ka ohana a Davida a hiki i keia la.
So Israel rebelled against the house of David until this day.
20 Eia kekahi, i ka lohe ana o ka Iseraela a pau, ua hoi mai o Ieroboama, kii aku la lakou ia ia e hele mai i ke anaina, a hooalii lakou ia ia maluna o ka Iseraela a pau. Aohe mea i hahai i ka ohana a Davida, o ka Iuda wale no.
And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned out of Egypt, that they sent and called him to the assembly, and they made him king over Israel: and none followed the house of David except the tribe of Juda and Benjamin only.
21 A hoi mai o Rehoboama i Ierusalema, hoakoakoa mai la oia i ka ohana a pau a Iuda, a me ka ohana a Beniamina, hookahi haneri me kanawalu tausani kanaka i waeia, na kanaka kaua, e kaua aku i ka ohana a Iseraela e hoihoi mai i ke aupuni ia Rehoboama ke keiki a Solomona.
And Roboam went into Jerusalem, and he assembled the congregation of Juda, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and twenty thousand young men, warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to recover the kingdom to Roboam the son of Solomon.
22 Aka, hiki mai ka olelo a ke Akua, ia Semaia, ke kanaka o ke Akua, i mai la,
And the word of the Lord came to Samaia the man of God, saying,
23 E olelo aku ia Rehoboama ke keiki a Solomona, ke alii o Iuda, a i ka ohana a pau a Iuda, a me Beniamina, a me ke koena o na kanaka, e i aku,
Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon, king of Juda, and to all the house of Juda and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
24 Ke i mai nei Iehova penei, Mai pii aku oukou, aole hoi e kaua aku i ko oukou poe hoahanau na mamo a Iseraela, e hoi kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hale iho, no ka mea, no'u aku nei keia mea. Hoolohe aku la lakou i ka olelo a ka Haku, a huli lakou e hoi e like me ka olelo a Iehova.
Thus says the Lord, You shall not go up, neither shall you fight with your brethren the sons of Israel: return each man to his own home; for this thing is from me; and they listened to the word of the Lord, and they ceased from going up, according to the word of the Lord.
25 Alaila kukulu ae la o Ieroboama ia Sekema ma ka mauna Eperaima, a noho ae la malaila; a hele aku malaila aku, a kukulu ae la ia Penuela.
And Jeroboam built Sikima in mount Ephraim and lived in it, and went forth thence and built Phanuel.
26 I iho la o Ieroboama iloko o kona naau, Ano, e hoi aku ai ke aupuni i ka ohana a Davida.
And Jeroboam said in his heart, Behold, now the kingdom will return to the house of David.
27 Ina e pii ae keia poe kanaka e kaumaha ma ka hale o Iehova, ma Ierusalema, alaila e hoi ka naau o keia poe kanaka i ko lakou haku ia Rehoboama ke alii o Iuda, a e pepehi mai lakou ia'u, a e hoi hou aku ia Rehoboama i ke alii o Iuda.
If this people shall go up to offer sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then the heart of the people will return to the Lord, and to their master, to Roboam king of Juda, and they will kill me.
28 Nolaila kuka iho la ke alii, a hana i na keikibipi gula elua, a i mai la oia ia lakou, He nui ko oukou hele ana i Ierusalema: Eia hoi kou mau akua, e Iseraela, i lawe mai ia oe mai ka aina mai o Aigupita.
And the king took counsel, and went, and made two golden heifers, and said to the people, Let it suffice you to have gone [hitherto] to Jerusalem: behold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
29 Kukulu ae la hoi oia i kekahi ma Betela, a waiho aku hoi i kekahi ma Dana.
And he put one in Bethel, and he put the other in Dan.
30 Lilo ae la keia mea i hewa, no ka mea, ua hele ae la na kanaka imua o kekahi i Dana.
And this thing became a sin; and the people went before one as far as Dan, and left the house of the Lord.
31 Hana iho la oia i hale no na wahi kiekie, a hoolilo ae la i kekahi mau makaainana i poe kahuna, aole o ko na mamo a Levi.
And he made houses on the high places, and made priests of any part of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
32 Hana iho la hoi o Ieroboama i ka ahaaina i ka walu o ka malama i ka umikumamalima o ka la, e like me ka ahaaina maloko o Iuda, a kaumaha aku la maluna o ke kuahu. Pela oia i hana'i ma Betela, e kaumaha ana no na keikibipi ana i hana'i; a hoonoho aku la oia ma Betela i na kahuna o na wahi kiekie ana i hana'i.
And Jeroboam appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, according to the feast in the land of Juda;
33 Pela oia i kaumaha ai ma ke kuahu ana i hana'i ma Betela i ka umikumamalima o ka la o ka walu o ka mahina, ana i noonoo ai ma kona naau; a ua hoomaopopo i ka ahaaina na ka poe mamo a Iseraela, a ua kaumaha aku la maluna o ke kuahu, a kuni hoi i ka mea ala.
and went up to the altar which he made in Baethel to sacrifice to the heifers which he made, and he placed in Baethel the priests of the high places which he had made. And he went up to the altar which he had made, on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, at the feast which he devised out of his own heart; and he made a feast to the children of Israel, and went up to the altar to sacrifice.
