< I Samuela 13 >

1 HOOKAHI makahiki o ko Saula alii ana: a pau na makahiki elua o kona alii ana,
Saul was … years old when he began to reign. And when he had reigned two years over Israel,
2 Wae aku la o Saula nona i ekolu tausani kanaka o ka Iseraela; elua tausaui me Saula ma Mikemasa, a ma ka mauna o Betela, a hookahi tausani me Ionatana ma Gibea o Beniamina; a hoihoi aku la ia i na kanaka i koe i ko lakou halelewa iho.
Saul chose for him three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash, and on the mount of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin, and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
3 A luku aku la o Ionatana i ka poe koa o ko Pilisetia ma Geba; a lohe ko Pilisetia, A puhi aku la o Saula i ka pu ma ka aina a pau, i ka i ana'e, E hoolohe ka poe Hebera.
And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
4 A lohe ae la ka Iseraela a pau i ka mea i oleloia mai, ua pepehi o Saula i ka poe koa o ko Pilisetia, a ua hoowahawahaia o ka Iseraela e ko Pilisetia. A ua houluuluia na kanaka mahope o Saula ma Gilegala.
And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 Hoakoakoa ae la ko Pilisetia e kaua aku i ka Iseraela, he kanakolu tausani halekaa, eono tausani hoohololio, a me na kanaka e like me ke one ma kahakai he nui loa; a hele mai lakou, a hoomoana ma Mikemasa, ma ka hikina o Betavena.
And the Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel: thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea-shore in multitude. And they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth-aven.
6 A ike aku la na kanaka o ka Iseraela i ko lakou popilikia, (no ka mea, ua pilikia na kanaka, ) pee aku la na kanaka iloko o na ana, a maloko o na laau kuku, a ma na pohaku, a me na wahi kiekie, a maloko o na lua.
When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in coverts, and in pits.
7 A o kekahi poe Hebera hele aku la ma kela aoao o Ioredane ma ka aina o Gada, a o Gileada: a ma Gilegala o Saula, a haalulu na kanaka mamuli ona.
Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead, but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
8 Noho iho la ia i na la ehiku e like me ka manawa a Samuela i olelo ai: aole i hiki mai o Samuela ma Gilegala; a ua hele liilii na kanaka mai ona aku la.
And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattered from him.
9 Olelo aku la o Saula, E lawe mai ia'u i mohaikuni, a me na mohai hoomalu. Kaumaha aku la ia i ka mohaikuni.
And Saul said, Bring here the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
10 A i ka manawa i pau ai kana kaumaha ana aku i ka mohaikuni, aia hoi, hiki mai la o Samuela; hele aku la o Saula e halawai me ia, e hoomaikai aku ia ia.
And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came, and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
11 Ninau aku la o Samuela, Heaha kau i hana'i? I mai la o Saula, No ka'u ike ana i na kanaka e hele liilii ana mai o'u aku nei, a no kou hiki ole mai i na la i oleloia'i, a no ka hoakoakoa ana o ko Pilisetia ma Mikemasa;
And Samuel said, What have thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash,
12 Nolaila, i iho la au, e iho mai auanei ko Pilisetia maluna o'u ma Gilegala, aole au i noi aku ia Iehova: no ia mea, hooikaika iho la au ia'u iho, a kaumaha aku la i ka mohaikuni.
therefore I said, Now the Philistines will come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favor of Jehovah. I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.
13 Olelo aku la o Samuela ia Saula, Ua hana naaupo oe, aole oe i malama i ke kauoha a Iehova kou Akua, ana i kauoha mai ai ia oe; i hookupaa mau loa ai o Iehova i kou aupuni maluna o ka Iseraela.
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou have done foolishly. Thou have not kept the commandment of Jehovah thy God, which he commanded thee. For now Jehovah would have established thy kingdom upon Israel forever,
14 Ano hoi, aole e mau ana kou aupuni; ua imi mai o Iehova i kanaka nona e like me kona naau iho, a ua hoonoho mai o Iehova ia ia i luna no kona poe kanaka, no kou malama ole i ka mea a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia oe.
but now thy kingdom shall not continue. Jehovah has sought for him a man after his own heart, and Jehovah has appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou have not kept that which Jehovah commanded thee.
15 Ku ae la o Samuela, a pii aku la mai Gilegala aku a i Gibea o Beniamina. A helu aku la o Saula i na kanaka me ia, aono paha haneri kanaka.
And Samuel arose, and got up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
16 A o Saula a me Ionatana kana keiki, a o na kanaka me laua, noho iho la ma Gibea o Beniamina: aka, hoomoana iho la ko Pilisetia ma Mikemasa.
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin, but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
17 Hele mai la ka poe luku, mai ka poe koa o ko Pilisetia mai, ekolu poe: huli ae la kekahi poe ma ke ala o Opera ma ka aina o Suala.
And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies. One company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual,
18 Huli ae la kekahi poe ma ke ala o Betahorona; a huli ae kekahi poe ma ke ala o ka mokuna e ku pono ana i ke awawa o Zeboima, ma ka waonahele.
and another company turned the way to Beth-horon, and another company turned the way of the border that looks down upon the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19 Aole no i loaa ka amara ma ka aina a pau o ka Iseraela; no ka mea, i ae la ko Pilisetia, O hana auanei ka poe Hebera i ka pahikaua, a i ka ihe paha na lakou.
Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make for them swords or spears,
20 Aka, hele no ka Iseraela a pau i ko Pilisetia e hana'i i kana oopalau, a me kana ho, a me kana koilipi, a me kana oo.
but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
21 He apuapu nae ia lakou no ka oopalau, a no na ho, a no na o manamana, a no na koilipi, a no ka hookala i na kui.
Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to set the goads.
22 A i ka la i kaua ai, aole he pahikaua, aole hoi he ihe ma ka lima o na kanaka me Saula, a me Ionatana: aka, ua loaa ia Saula a me Ionatana kana keiki.
So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan. But with Saul and with Jonathan his son there was found.
23 A hele aku la ka poe koa o ko Pilisetia i ke ala ololi o Mikemasa.
And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
