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 Rehoboam went to Shechem: for al Israel were come to Sheche, 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; )

And whe Ieroboam ye sonne of Nebat heard of it (who was yet in Egypt, whither Ieroboam had fled from king Salomon, and dwelt in Egypt)

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.

Then they sent and called him: and Ieroboam and all the Congregation of Israel came, and spake vnto Rehoboam, saying,

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.

Thy father made our yoke grieuous: now therefore make thou the grieuous seruitude of thy father, and his sore yoke which he put vpon vs, lighter, and we will serue thee.

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 vnto them, Depart yet for three dayes, then come againe to me. And the people 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 King Rehoboam tooke counsell with the olde men that had stande before Salomon his father, while he yet liued, and sayde, What counsell giue ye, that I may make an answere to 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 spake vnto him, saying, If thou be a seruant vnto this people this day, and serue them, and answere them, and speake kinde wordes to them, they will be thy seruants for euer.

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 forsooke the counsell that the olde men had giuen him, and asked counsell of the yong men that had bene brought vp with him, and waited on him.

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 vnto them, What counsell giue ye, that we may answere this people, which haue spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke, which thy father did put vpon vs, lighter?

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.

Then the yong men that were brought vp with him, spake vnto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say vnto this people, that haue spoken vnto thee, and said, Thy father hath made our yoke heauie, but make thou it lighter vnto vs: euen thus shalt thou say vnto them, My least part shalbe bigger then my fathers loynes.

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.

Now where as my father did burden you with a grieuous yoke, I will yet make your yoke heauier: my father hath chastised you with rods, but I will correct you with scourges.

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.

Then Ieroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me againe ye thirde 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 sharpely, and left the old mens counsell that they gaue 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 spake to them after the counsell of the yong men, saying, My father made your yoke grieuous, and I will make your yoke more grieuous: my father hath chastised you with rods, but I will correct you with scourges.

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 hearkened not vnto the people: for it was the ordinance of the Lord, that he might perfourme his saying, which the Lord had spoken by Ahiiah the Shilonite vnto Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat.

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.

So when all Israel sawe that the King regarded them not, the people answered the King thus, saying, What portion haue we in Dauid? we haue none inheritance in the sonne of Ishai. To your tents, O Israel: nowe see to thine owne house, Dauid. So Israel departed vnto their 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.

Howbeit ouer the children of Israel, which dwelt in the cities of Iudah, did Rehoboam reigne still.

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.

Nowe the King Rehoboam sent Adoram the receiuer of the tribute, and all Israel stoned him to death: then King Rehoboam made speede to get him vp to his charet, to flee to Ierusalem.

19 Pela i kipi ai ka Iseraela i ka ohana a Davida a hiki i keia la.

And Israel rebelled against the house of Dauid vnto 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 when all Israel had heard that Ieroboam was come againe, they sent and called him vnto the assemblie, and made him King ouer all Israel: none followed the house of Dauid, but the tribe of Iudah onely.

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 when Rehoboam was come to Ierusalem, he gathered all the house of Iudah with the tribe of Beniamin an hundreth and foure score thousand of chosen men (which were good warriours) to fight against the house of Israel, and to bring the kingdome againe to Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon.

22 Aka, hiki mai ka olelo a ke Akua, ia Semaia, ke kanaka o ke Akua, i mai la,

But the worde of God came vnto Shemaiah 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,

Speake vnto Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon King of Iudah, and vnto all the house of Iudah and Beniamin, and 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 saith the Lord, Ye shall not go vp, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: returne euery man to his house: for this thing is done by me. They obeyed therefore the worde of the Lord and returned, and departed, according to the worde 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.

Then Ieroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein, and went from thence, and built Penuel.

26 I iho la o Ieroboama iloko o kona naau, Ano, e hoi aku ai ke aupuni i ka ohana a Davida.

And Ieroboam thought in his heart, Nowe shall the kingdome returne to the house of Dauid.

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 goe vp and doe sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Ierusalem, then shall the heart of this people turne againe vnto their lorde, euen to Rehoboam King of Iudah: so shall they kill me and goe againe to Rehoboam King of Iudah.

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.

Whereupon the King tooke counsell, and made two calues of golde, and saide vnto them, It is too much for you to goe vp to Ierusalem: beholde, O Israel, thy gods, which brought thee vp out of the lande of Egypt.

29 Kukulu ae la hoi oia i kekahi ma Betela, a waiho aku hoi i kekahi ma Dana.

And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other set he 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 turned to sinne: for the people went (because of the one) euen to Dan.

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.

Also he made an house of hie places, and made Priestes of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sonnes of Leui.

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 Ieroboam made a feast the fifteenth day of the eight moneth, like vnto the feast that is in Iudah, and offred on the altar. So did he in Beth-el and offered vnto the calues that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the Priestes of the hie places, which he had made.

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 he offered vpon the altar, which he had made in Beth-el, the fifteenth day of the eight moneth, (euen in the moneth which he had forged of his owne heart) and made a solemne feast vnto the children of Israel: and he went vp to the altar, to burne incense.
