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 all Israel were come to Shechem 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 it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam 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.

That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spoke unto 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.

Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make you the grievous service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, 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 unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again 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 consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do all of you advise that I may 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 unto him, saying, If you will be a servant unto this people this day, and will serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants for ever.

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 had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before 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 unto them, What counsel give all of you that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which your father did put upon us 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.

And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying, Thus shall you speak unto this people that spoke unto you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, but make you it lighter unto us; thus shall you say unto 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 now whereas my father did load you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father has 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.

So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again 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 roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave 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 spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also 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.

Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son 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 saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to your own house, David. So Israel departed unto 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.

But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

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.

Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, 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 unto 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 was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah 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 when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

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

But the word of God came unto 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,

Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah 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, All of you shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, 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.

Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out 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 Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom 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 go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people return unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.

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 took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold your gods, O Israel, which 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 set the one in Bethel, and the other put 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 became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto 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.

And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the low of the people, which 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 ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high 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.

So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.
