I Samuela 11
1 A HELE mai o Nahasa no ka Amona, a hoomoana ku e ia Iabesa-gileada: a olelo mai la na kanaka a pau o Iabesa ia Nahasa, E hana oe i kuikahi me makou, alaila e hookauwa aku makou nau.
And it came to pass about a month after this that Naas, the Ammonite came up, and began to fight against Jabes Galaad. And all the men of Jabes said to Naas: Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
2 I mai la o Nahasa no ka Amona ia lakou, Penei ka'u e hana'i me oukou, e poalo aku au i na maka akau a pau o oukou, a kau aku ia i mea hoino maluna o ka Iseraela a pau.
And Naas the Ammonite answered them: On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may pluck out all your right eyes, and make you a reproach in all Israel.
3 Olelo aku la na lunakahiko o Iabesa ia ia, E ahonui mai oe ia makou i na la ehiku, i hoouna aku ai makou i na elele ma na wahi a pau o ka Iseraela; ina paha aohe mea nana makou e hoopakele, alaila e hele makou i ou la.
And the ancients of Jabes said to him: Allow us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the coasts of Israel: and if there be no one to defend us, we will come out to thee.
4 A hele mai na elele ma Gibea no Saula, a hai mai i na olelo maloko o ka pepeiao o na kanaka: a hookiekie ae la na kanaka a pau i ko lakou leo iluna, a uwe aku la.
The messengers therefore came to Gabaa of Saul: and they spoke these words in the hearing of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
5 Aia hoi, hele mai la o Saula mahope o na bipi mai kula mai, ninau mai la o, Saula, No ke aha la i uwe ai na kanaka? A hai mai lakou ia ia i na mea no na kanaka o Iabesa.
And behold Saul came, following oxen out of the field, and he said: What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Jabes.
6 A hiki mai ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna o Saula, a wela nui kona inaina.
And the spirit of the Lord came upon Saul, when he had heard these words, and his anger was exceedingly kindled.
7 Lawe ae la o Saula i mau bipikane kaulua, a okioki liilii ia laua, a hoouna aku la ma na lima o ka poe elele i na mokuna a pau o ka Iseraela, i ka i ana'ku, Pela e hanaia'i na bipi a ka mea hele ole mamuli o Saula a mamuli o Samuela. A kau mai la ka makau o Iehova i na kanaka, a hele mai lakou me ka manao lokahi.
And taking both the oxen, he cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel by messengers, saying: Whosoever shall not come forth, and follow Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord fell upon the people, and they went out as one man.
8 A helu aku la oia ia lakou ma Bezeka, akolu haneri tausani o na mamo a Iseraela, a he kanakolu tausani kanaka o ka Iuda.
And he numbered them in Bezec: and there were of the children of Israel three hundred thousand: and of the men of Juda thirty thousand.
9 I aku la lakou i na elele i hele mai. Peneia oukou e olelo aku ai i na kanaka o Iabesa-gileada, Apopo a wela mai ka la, e hoopakeleia oukou. A hoi aku la na elele, a hoike aku la i na kanaka o Iabesa; olioli iho la lakou.
And they said to the messengers that came: Thus shall you say to the men of Jabes Galaad: Tomorrow, when the sun shall be hot, you shall have relief. The messengers therefore came, and told the men of Jabes: and they were glad.
10 No ia mea, i aku la na kanaka o Iabesa, Apopo e hele aku makou iwaho io oukou la, a e hana mai oukou ia makou i na mea a pau a oukou e makemake ai.
And they said: In the morning we will come out to you: and you shall do what you please with us.
11 A i ka la apopo, hoonoho iho la o Saula i na kanaka i ekolu poe; a hele lakou iwaena konu o ka poe kaua i ka moku ana o ka pawa o ke ao, a pepehi iho la i ka Amora a hiki i ka wela o ka la: a o ke koena, hele liilii aku la lakou, aole elua kanaka ma kahi hookahi.
And it came to pass, when the morrow was come that Saul put the people in three companies: and he came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and he slew the Ammonites until the day grew hot, and the rest were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
12 Ninau mai la na kanaka ia Samuela, Owai ka i olelo, E alii anei o Saula maluna o kakou? E lawe mai i ua poe kanaka la, a e pepehi makou ia lakou.
And the people said to Samuel: Who is he that said: Shall Saul reign over us? Bring the men and we will kill them.
13 Olelo mai la o Saula, Aole e pepehiia kekahi kanaka i keia la: no ka mea, ua hana mai o Iehova i ke ola iloko o ka Iseraela i keia la.
And Saul said: No man shall be killed this day, because the Lord this day hath wrought salvation in Israel:
14 Olelo aku la o Samuela i na kanaka, Ina kakou e hele ma Gilegala, a e hookupaa ilaila i ke aupuni.
And Samuel said to the people: Come and let us go to Galgal, and let us renew the kingdom there.
15 A hele na kanaka a pau ma Gilegala; a hooalii aku la lakou ia Saula ilaila imua o Iehova ma Gilegala: a ilaila lakou i kaumaha aku ai i na mohai hoomalu imua o Iehova; a hauoli nui iho la o Saula, a me na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela ilaila.
And all the people went to Galgal, and there they made Saul king before the Lord in Galgal, and they sacrificed there victims of peace before the Lord. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
