< I Samuela 2 >

1 PULE aku la o Hana, i aku la, O ko'u naau ke hauoli nei iloko o Iehova; O ko'u pepeiaohao ua hookiekieia iloko o Iehova; O ko'u waha ua hoakeaia maluna o ko'u poe enemi: No ka mea, ke hauoli nei au iloko o kou ola.
At that time Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the LORD in whom my horn is exalted. My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, for I rejoice in Your salvation.
2 Aohe mea hemolele e like me Iehova; No ka mea, aohe mea e ae, o oe wale no la. Aohe pohaku e like me ko kakou Akua.
There is no one holy like the LORD. Indeed, there is no one besides You! And there is no Rock like our God.
3 Mai olelo hou me ka hookiekie loa; Mai puka hou ka hookano mai ko oukou waha mai: No ka mea, he Akua ike o Iehova, Nana no i kaupaona na hana.
Do not boast so proudly, or let arrogance come from your mouth, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by Him actions are weighed.
4 O na kakaka o ka poe mana ua haki, O ka poe i haalulu ua kakooia me ka ikaika.
The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble are equipped with strength.
5 O na mea maona ua hoolimalima ia lakou iho no ka ai; O na mea pololi na noho hoomaha lakou. Pela hoi, o ka mea i pa ua hanau i ehiku; O ka mea keiki he nui ua hoonawaliwaliia.
The well-fed hire themselves out for food, but the starving hunger no more. The barren woman gives birth to seven, but she who has many sons pines away.
6 Na Iehova ka pepehi a me ka hoola: Nana i hoohaahaa ilalo i ka halelua, a nana no i hoala hou mai. (Sheol h7585)
The LORD brings death and gives life; He brings down to Sheol and raises up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Na Iehova i hooilihune, a oia no ka mea i waiwai ai: Nana i hoohaahaa, a me ka hookiekie.
The LORD sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts.
8 Ke hookiekie oia i ka poe ilihune mai ka lepo mai; Ke kaikai ae la ia i ka poe nele mai kahi ino mai, E hoonoho ia lakou me na'lii, E hooili no lakou i ka nohoalii nani: No Iehova na kia o ka honua. Nana i hoonoho ke ao nei maluna o lakou.
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap. He seats them among princes and bestows on them a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s, and upon them He has set the world.
9 Nana no e malama na wawae o kona poe haipule, Aka, e make ka poe hewa iloko o ka pouli; No ka mea, aole ke kanaka e lanakila i ka ikaika.
He guards the steps of His faithful ones, but the wicked perish in darkness; for by his own strength shall no man prevail.
10 O na enemi o Iehova e ulupaia lakou; Mai ka lani mai ia e hoohekili mai ai maluna o lakou: Na Iehova e hookolokolo na welau o ka honua; A e haawi mai ia i ka ikaika no kona alii. A e hookiekie hoi i ka pepeiaohao o kona mea i poniia.
Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered. He will thunder from heaven against them. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth and will give power to His king. He will exalt the horn of His anointed.”
11 A hele aku la o Elekana i kona hale ma Rama: a hookauwa aku ke keiki na Iehova imua o Eli ke kahuna.
Then Elkanah went home to Ramah, but the boy began ministering to the LORD before Eli the priest.
12 A o na keiki a Eli, he mau keiki hewa; aole i ike laua ia Iehova.
Now the sons of Eli were wicked men; they had no regard for the LORD
13 Ua maa no ia mea o na kahuna me na kanaka, a i kaumaha aku kekahi kanaka i ka mohai, hele mai ke kauwa a ke kahuna me ke o manamana kolu ma kona lima i ka manawa i hoolapalapa ai i ka io;
or for the custom of the priests with the people. When any man offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest would come with a three-pronged meat fork while the meat was boiling
14 A hou iho la iloko o ka ipu, o ka ipu lepo paha, o ka ipu keleawe paha, o ka ipu hao paha, a o ka mea a pau i loaa i ke o, na ke kahuna ia i lawe nana iho. Pela no lakou i hana'i ma Silo i ka Iseraela a pau i hele ai ilaila.
and plunge it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or cooking pot. And the priest would claim for himself whatever the meat fork brought up. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.
15 Mamua hoi o ke puhi ana i ka momona, hele mai la ke kauwa a ke kahuna, a i mai la i ke kanaka e kaumaha ana, E haawi mai i ka io no ka ohinu ana na ke kahuna; aole ona makemake ia oe i ka io i hoolapalapaia, aka, he io maka no.
Even before the fat was burned, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to roast, because he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”
16 Ina i i aku kekahi kanaka ia ia, He pono no lakou e puhi koke i ka momona, alaila e lawe oe i ka mea a kou naau e makemake ai: a i mai la kela ia ia, Ano oe e haawi mai, a i ole, na'u no e kaili wale.
And if any man said to him, “The fat must be burned first; then you may take whatever you want,” the servant would reply, “No, you must give it to me right now. If you refuse, I will take it by force!”
17 No ia mea, ua nui loa ka hewa o ua mau kanaka opiopio la imua o Iehova; no ka mea, ua hoowahawaha na kanaka i ka mohai a Iehova.
Thus the sin of these young men was severe in the sight of the LORD, for they were treating the LORD’s offering with contempt.
18 Aka o Samuela, he keiki, lawelawe no ia imua o Iehova, i kaeiia i ka epoda olona.
Now Samuel was ministering before the LORD—a boy wearing a linen ephod.
19 Hana iho la kona makuwahine i wahi lole komo uuku nona, a lawe mai ia mea ia ia i kela makahiki keia makahiki, ia ia i hele mai ai me kana kane e kaumaha aku i ka mohai makahiki.
Each year his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him when she went with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.
20 Hoomaikai aku la o Eli la Elekana a me kana wahine, i aku la, Na Iehova i haawi mai ia oe i keiki na keia wahine no ka mea noi ana i noi ai ia Iehova. A hoi aku la laua i ko laua wahi.
And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the LORD give you children by this woman in place of the one she dedicated to the LORD.” Then they would go home.
21 A ike mai la o Iehova ia Hana, hapai ae la ia, a hanau mai la na keikikane ekolu a me na kaikamahine elua. Ua nui ae o Samuela ke keiki imua o Iehova.
So the LORD attended to Hannah, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the LORD.
22 A ua elemakule loa o Eli, a ua lohe no ia i na mea a pau a kana mau keiki i hana'i i ka Iseraela a pau; i ko laua moe ana me na wahine i houluuluia ma ka puka o ka halelewa anaina.
Now Eli was very old, and he heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they were sleeping with the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
23 Ninau aku la oia ia laua, No ke aha la olua i hana'i i keia mau mea? Ua lohe au i keia poe kanaka a pau i ka olua hana ino ana.
“Why are you doing these things?” Eli said to his sons. “I hear about your wicked deeds from all these people.
24 He oiaio, e ka'u mau keiki, aole he mea pono ka'u i lohe ai; ua hoolilo olua i na kanaka o Iehova e hana hewa ai.
No, my sons; it is not a good report I hear circulating among the LORD’s people.
25 Ina i hana hewa kekahi ia hai, alaila e hooponopono na lunakanawai ia ia; aka, i hana hewa ke kanaka ia Iehova, owai ka mea e pule aku nona? Aole no hoi laua i hoolohe i ka leo o ko laua makuakane; no ka mea, manao no o Iehova e pepehi mai ia laua.
If a man sins against another man, God can intercede for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?” But they would not listen to their father, since the LORD intended to put them to death.
26 A nui ae la o Samuela ke keiki: a ua alohaia oia e Iehova a me kanaka.
And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the LORD and with man.
27 Hele mai la kekahi kanaka o ke Akua ia Eli, i mai la ia ia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova peneia, Ua hoike akaka ia anei au i ko ka hale o kou makuakane, ia lakou i noho ai i Aigupita ma ka hale o Parao?
Then a man of God came to Eli and told him, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Did I not clearly reveal Myself to your father’s house when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh’s house?
28 A ua wae anei au ia ia noloko mai o na hanauna kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela i kahuna na'u, e kaumaha aku maluna o ko'u kuahu, e kuni i ka mea ala, e hookomo i ka epoda imua o'u? a ua haawi anei i ko ka hale o kou makuakane i na mohaikuni a pau a na mamo a Iseraela?
And out of all the tribes of Israel I selected your father to be My priest, to offer sacrifices on My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in My presence. I also gave to the house of your father all the offerings of the Israelites made by fire.
29 No ke aha la oukou e keehi aku ai i kuu mohai, a me kuu alana a'u i kauoha aku ai ma [kuu] hale; a hoohanohano oe i kau mau keiki maluna o'u e hoomomona ana oukou ia oukou iho i na mea maikai o na mohai a pau a ka Iseraela, a kuu poe kanaka?
Why then do you kick at My sacrifice and offering that I have prescribed for My dwelling place? You have honored your sons more than Me by fattening yourselves with the best of all the offerings of My people Israel.’
30 No ia mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, I iho la au, o ko ka hale ou, a me ko ka hale o kou makuakane, e hele mau loa lakou imua o'u; aka ano, ke i mai nei o Iehova, Hoole aku la au ia; no ka mea, o na mea e hoomaikai mai ia'u, na'u lakou e hoomaikai aku; a o na mea e hoowahawaha mai ia'u, e hoowahawahaia lakou.
Therefore, the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever. But now the LORD declares: Far be it from Me! For I will honor those who honor Me, but those who despise Me will be disdained.
31 Aia hoi, e hiki mai ana ka la e oki ai au i kou lima, a me ka lima o ko ka hale o kou makuakane, i ole ai he elemakule iloko o kou hale.
Behold, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that no older man will be left in your house.
32 E ike auanei oe i ka popilikia o ka halelewa mawaena o ka maikai ana e hana aku ai i ka Iseraela: aka, aole he elemakule iloko o kou hale i na la a pau.
You will see distress in My dwelling place. Despite all that is good in Israel, no one in your house will ever again reach old age.
33 A o ke kanaka ou a'u e oki ole ai mai kuu kuahu aku, e lilo ia i mea e hoopau ai i kou maka, a e hookaumaha ai i kou naau: a o na hua a pau o kou hale e make lakou i ka wa ui.
And every one of you that I do not cut off from My altar, your eyes will fail and your heart will grieve. All your descendants will die by the sword of men.
34 Eia ka hoailona ia oe, o ka mea e hiki mai ana maluna o kau mau keiki elua, o Hopeni a o Pinehasa; i ka la hookahi e make no laua a elua.
And this sign shall come to you concerning your two sons Hophni and Phinehas: They will both die on the same day.
35 A e hooku auanei au i kahuna pono na'u, nana e hana ka mea ku i ko'u manao, a me ko'u naau: a na'u no e kukulu i hale mau nona, a e hele mau loa no ia imua o ko'u mea i poniia.
Then I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest. He will do whatever is in My heart and mind. And I will build for him an enduring house, and he will walk before My anointed one for all time.
36 A o kela mea keia mea i waihoia iloko o kou hale e hele mai no a e kulou iho imua ona no kekahi kala uuku, a me kekahi pai berena, a e i mai, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e haawi mai ia'u i wahi oihana kahuna, i ai iho ai au i kahi berena.
And everyone left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver or a morsel of bread, pleading, “Please appoint me to some priestly office so that I can eat a piece of bread.”’”
