I Samuela 12

1 OLELO aku la o Samuela i ka Iseraela a pau, Aia hoi, ua hoolohe au i ko oukou leo ma na mea a pau a oukou i olelo mai ai ia'u, a ua hoonoho aku au i alii maluna o oukou.

Samuel then said vnto all Israel, Behold, I haue hearkened vnto your voyce in all that yee sayde vnto mee, and haue appoynted a King ouer you.

2 Ano hoi, ke hele nei ke alii imua o oukou: a ua elemakule wau, ua poohina; a eia hoi ka'u mau keiki me oukou; a ua hele au imua o oukou mai kuu wa kamalii a hiki i keia la.

Now therefore behold, your King walketh before you, and I am old and graie headed, and beholde, my sonnes are with you: and I haue walked before you from my childehood vnto this day.

3 Eia hoi wau: e hoike mai oukou ia'u imua o Iehova, a imua hoi o kona mea i poniia; o ka bipi awai ka'u i lawe ai? a o ka hoki awai ka'u i kaili ai? ka wai la ka'u i alunu ai? owai la ka'u i hookaumaha ai? ma ka lima owai ka'u i lawe ai i ke kipe i huna'i ko'u maka ia ia? a e hoihoi aku au ia mea ia oukou.

Beholde, here I am: beare recorde of me before the Lord and before his Anointed. Whose oxe haue I taken? or whose asse haue I taken? or whome haue I done wrong to? or whome haue I hurt? or of whose hande haue I receiued any bribe, to blinde mine eyes therewith, and I will restore it you?

4 I mai la lakou, Aole oe i alunu i ka makou, aole hoi i hookaumaha mai ia makou, aole oe i lawe i kekahi mea ma ka lima o kekahi kanaka.

Then they sayde, Thou hast done vs no wrong, nor hast hurt vs, neither hast thou taken ought of any mans hand.

5 I aku la oia ia lakou, O Iehova ke hoike ia oukou, a o kona mea i poniia ke hoike i keia la, aole i loaa ia oukou kekahi mea ma kuu lima. I mai la lakou, Oia ke hoike.

And he saide vnto them, The Lord is witnesse against you, and his Anointed is witnesse this day, that yee haue founde nought in mine handes. And they answered, He is witnesse.

6 Olelo aku la o Samuela i na kanaka, O Iehova no ka mea nana i hoonoho mai o Mose a me Aarona, a nana hoi i lawe mai ko oukou poe kupuna mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.

Then Samuel sayde vnto the people, It is the Lord that made Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt.

7 No ia hoi, e ku malie oukou, a e ao aku au ia oukou imua o Iehova i na mea pono a pau a Iehova i hana mai ai ia oukou a me ko oukou poe kupuna.

Nowe therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the Lord according to all the righteousnesse of the Lord, which he shewed to you and to your fathers.

8 I ka manawa a Iakoba i hele ai ma Aigupita, a i uwe ai ko oukou poe kupuna ia Iehova, alaila hoouna mai la o Iehova ia Mose a me Aarona, a na laua i alakai ko oukou mau kupuna mai Aigupita mai, a hoonoho ia lakou ma keia wahi.

After that Iaakob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried vnto the Lord, then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron which brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.

9 A ia lakou i hoopoina ai ia Iehova ko lakou Akua, kuai aku la ia ia lakou i ka lima o Sisera, i ka luna o ka poe kaua no Hazora, a i ka lima o ko Pilisetia, a i ka lima o ke alii o Moaba, a kaua mai lakou ia lakou.

And when they forgate the Lord their God, he solde them into the hand of Sisera captaine of the hoste of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistims, and into the hande of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.

10 Auwe aku lakou ia Iehova, i aku la, Ua hana hewa makou, no ka mea, ua haalele makou ia Iehova, a ua malama makou ia Baalima a me Asetarota: aka, ano e hoopakele mai oe ia makou i ka lima o ko makou poe enemi, a e malama makou ia oe.

And they cried vnto the Lord, and saide, We haue sinned, because we haue forsaken the Lord, and haue serued Baalim and Ashtaroth. Nowe therefore deliuer vs out of the handes of our enemies, and we will serue thee.

11 A hoouna mai o Iehova ia Ierubaala, a me Bedana, a me Iepeta, a me Samuela, a hoopakele mai ia oukou i ka lima o ko oukou poe enemi ma na aoao a pau, a noho maluhia iho la oukou.

Therefore the Lord sent Ierubbaal and Bedan and Iphtaph, and Samuel, and deliuered you out of the handes of your enemies on euery side, and yee dwelled safe.

12 A ike oukou ia Nahasa, ke alii o na mamo a Amona e hele mai ana e ku e ia oukou, i mai la oukou ia'u, Aole; aka e hoonohoia ke alii maluna o makou; i ka manawa o ko Iehova ko oukou Akua alii ana maluna o oukou.

Notwithstanding when you sawe, that Nahash the King of the children of Ammon came against you, ye sayde vnto me, No, but a King shall reigne ouer vs: when yet the Lord your God was your King.

13 No ia mea, e nana oukou i ke alii, i ka mea a oukou i wae ai, a me ka mea a oukou i makemake ai; aia hoi, ua hoonoho mai o Iehova i alii maluna o oukou.

Nowe therefore beholde the King whome yee haue chosen, and whome yee haue desired: loe therefore, the Lord hath set a King ouer you.

14 Ina paha e makau oukou ia Iehova, a e malama ia ia, a e hoolohe i kona leo, aole hoi e hoole i ke kauoha a Iehova; alaila oukou, a me ke alii e alii ana maluna o oukou e hahai mamuli o Iehova ko oukou Akua.

If ye wil feare the Lord and serue him, and heare his voyce, and not disobey the worde of the Lord, both yee, and the King that reigneth ouer you, shall follow the Lord your God.

15 Aka, i hoolohe ole oukou i ka leo o Iehova, i hoole hoi i ke kauoha a Iehova: alaila e ku e mai ka lima o Iehova ia oukou, e like me ke ku e i ko oukou poe kupuna.

But if yee will not obey the voyce of the Lord, but disobey the Lordes mouth, then shall the hand of the Lord be vpon you, and on your fathers.

16 No ia hoi, e ku malie oukou, a ike i keia mea nui a Iehova e hana mai ai imua o ko oukou maka.

Nowe also stande and see this great thing which the Lord will doe before your eyes.

17 Aole anei keia ka manawa e oki ai i ka palaoa? E kahea aku au ia Iehova, a e haawi mai oia i ka hekili a me ka ua, i manao ai oukou, a i ike ai hoi, ua nui ko oukou hewa i hana'i oukou imua o Iehova, i ko oukou noi ana i alii no oukou.

Is it not nowe wheat haruest? I wil call vnto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and raine, that yee may perceiue and see, howe that your wickednesse is great, which ye haue done in the sight of the Lord in asking you a King.

18 Kahea aku la o Samuela ia Iehova, a haawi mai o Iehova i ka hekili a me ka ua ia la: a makau nui iho la na kanaka a pau ia Iehova a ia Samuela.

Then Samuel called vnto the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and raine the same day: and all the people feared the Lord and Samuel exceedingly.

19 Olelo mai la na kanaka a pau ia Samuela, E pule oe ia Iehova i kou Akua no kau poe kauwa, i make ole ai makou: no ka mea, me na hewa a pau a makou, ua pakui makou i keia hewa hou, o ke noi ana i alii no makou.

And all the people said vnto Samuel, Pray for thy seruaunts vnto the Lord thy God, that we die not: for we haue sinned in asking vs a King, beside all our other sinnes.

20 Olelo aku la o Samuela i na kanaka, Mai makau: ua hana oukou i keia hewa a pau: aka, mai huli ae oukou mai ka hahai ana ia Iehova, e malama oukou ia Iehova me ko oukou naau a pau.

And Samuel said vnto the people, Feare not. (ye haue indeede done all this wickednesse, yet depart not from following the Lord, but serue the Lord with all your heart,

21 Mai huli ae oukou mamuli o na mea lapuwale, na mea hiki ole ke kokua mai, no ka mea, ua lapuwale lakou.

Neither turne yee backe: for that shoulde be after vaine things which cannot profite you, nor deliuer you, for they are but vanitie)

22 No ka mea, aole e haalele mai o Iehova i kona poe kanaka no kona inoa nui; no ka mea, ua oluolu o Iehova e hoolilo ia oukou i poe kanaka nona.

For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great Names sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people.

23 Owau hoi, aole loa wau e hana hewa ia Iehova ma ka hooki ana i ka pule no oukou: aka, e ao aku au ia oukou i ka aoao maikai a me ka pono.

Moreouer God forbid, that I should sinne against the Lord, and cease praying for you, but I will shewe you the good and right way.

24 E makau nae oukou ia Iehova, a e hookauwa aku nana me ka oiaio me ko oukou naau a pau, no ka mea, e hoomanao oukou i na mea nui ana e hana mai ai no oukou.

Therefore feare you the Lord, and serue him in the trueth with all your hearts, and consider howe great things he hath done for you.

25 Aka, i hana hewa mau oukou, e hoopauia auanei oukou, a me ko oukou alii.

But if ye doe wickedly, ye shall perish, both yee, and your King.
