< 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.
And Hannah, in prayer before the Lord, said, My heart is glad in the Lord, my horn is lifted up in the Lord: my mouth is open wide over my haters; because my joy is 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.
No other is holy as the Lord, for there is no other God but you: 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.
Say no more words of pride; let not uncontrolled sayings come out of your mouths: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, by him acts are judged.
4 O na kakaka o ka poe mana ua haki, O ka poe i haalulu ua kakooia me ka ikaika.
The bows of the men of war are broken, and the feeble are clothed 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.
Those who were full are offering themselves as servants for bread; those who were in need are at rest; truly, she who had no children has become the mother of seven; and she who had a family is wasted with sorrow.
6 Na Iehova ka pepehi a me ka hoola: Nana i hoohaahaa ilalo i ka halelua, a nana no i hoala hou mai. (Sheol )
The Lord is the giver of death and life: sending men down to the underworld and lifting them up. (Sheol )
7 Na Iehova i hooilihune, a oia no ka mea i waiwai ai: Nana i hoohaahaa, a me ka hookiekie.
The Lord gives wealth and takes a man's goods from him: crushing men down and again lifting them up;
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.
Lifting the poor out of the dust, and him who is in need out of the lowest place, to give them their place among rulers, and for their heritage the seat of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's and he has made them the base of 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 will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the evil-doers will come to their end in the dark night, for by strength no man will overcome.
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 make war against the Lord will be broken; against them he will send his thunder from heaven: the Lord will be judge of the ends of the earth, he will give strength to his king, lifting up the horn of him on whom the holy oil has been put.
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 to Ramah to his house. And the child became the servant of the Lord under the direction of 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 evil and good-for-nothing men, having no knowledge of 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;
And the priests' way with the people was this: when any man made an offering, the priest's servant came while the flesh was being cooked, having in his hand a meat-hook with three teeth;
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.
This he put into the pot, and everything which came up on the hook the priest took for himself. This they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
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.
And more than this, before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was making the offering, Give me some of the flesh to be cooked for the priest; he has no taste for meat cooked in water, but would have you give it uncooked.
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 the man said to him, First let the fat be burned, then take as much as you will; then the servant would say, No, you are to give it to me now, or 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.
And the sin of these young men was very great before the Lord; for they gave no honour to the Lord's offerings.
18 Aka o Samuela, he keiki, lawelawe no ia imua o Iehova, i kaeiia i ka epoda olona.
But Samuel did the work of the Lord's house, while he was a child, dressed in 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.
And his mother made him a little robe and took it to him every year when she came with her husband for the year's offering.
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 every year Eli gave Elkanah and his wife a blessing, saying, May the Lord give you offspring by this woman in exchange for the child you have given to the Lord. And they went back to their house.
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.
And the Lord had mercy on Hannah and she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. And the young Samuel became older before 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 had news from time to time of what his sons were doing to all Israel.
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.
And he said to them, Why are you doing such things? for from all this people I get accounts of your evil ways.
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, the account which is given me, which the Lord's people are sending about, is not good.
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 one man does wrong to another, God will be his judge: but if a man's sin is against the Lord, who will take up his cause? But they gave no attention to the voice of their father, for it was the Lord's purpose to send destruction on them.
26 A nui ae la o Samuela ke keiki: a ua alohaia oia e Iehova a me kanaka.
And the young Samuel, becoming older, had the approval of the Lord and of men.
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?
And a man of God came to Eli and said to him, The Lord says, Did I let myself be seen by your father's people when they were in Egypt, servants in 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?
Did I take him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest and to go up to my altar to make the smoke of the offerings go up and to take up the ephod? Did I give to your father's family all the offerings made by fire by the children of Israel?
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 are you looking with envy on my offerings of meat and of meal which were ordered by my word, honouring your sons before me, and making yourselves fat with all the best of the offerings of Israel, my people?
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.
For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father's people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so; I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes.
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.
See, the days are coming when your arm and the arm of your father's people will be cut off;
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.
And never again will there be an old man in your family.
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.
But one man of your family will not be cut off by my hand, and his eyes will be made dark, and grief will be in his heart: and all the offspring of your family will come to their end 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 will be the sign to you, which will come on Hophni and Phinehas, your sons; death will overtake them 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.
And I will make a true priest for myself, one who will do what is in my heart and in my mind: and I will make for him a family which will not come to an end; and his place will be before my holy one for ever.
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.
Then it will be that the rest of your family, anyone who has not been cut off, will go down on his knees to him for a bit of silver or a bit of bread, and say, Be pleased to put me into one of the priest's places so that I may have a little food.
