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.
My heart hath rejoiced in the Lord, and my horn is exalted in my God: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies: because I have joyed in thy 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 none holy as the Lord is: for there is no other beside thee, and there is none strong 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 multiply to speak lofty things, boasting: let old matters depart from your mouth: for the Lord is a God of all knowledge, and to him are thoughts prepared.
4 O na kakaka o ka poe mana ua haki, O ka poe i haalulu ua kakooia me ka ikaika.
The bow of the mighty is overcome, and the weak are girt 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.
They that were full before have hired out themselves for bread: and the hungry are filled, so that the barren hath borne many: and she that had many children is weakened.
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 killeth and maketh alive, he bringeth down to hell and bringeth back again. (Sheol h7585)
7 Na Iehova i hooilihune, a oia no ka mea i waiwai ai: Nana i hoohaahaa, a me ka hookiekie.
The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich, he humbleth and he exalteth.
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 raiseth up the needy from the dust, and lifteth up the poor from the dunghill: that he may sit with princes, and hold the throne of glory. For the poles of the earth are the Lord’s, and upon them he hath 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 will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness, because no man shall prevail by his own strength.
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.
The adversaries of the Lord shall fear him: and upon them shall he thunder in the heavens. The Lord shall judge the ends of the earth, and he shall give empire to his king, and shall exalt the horn of his Christ.
11 A hele aku la o Elekana i kona hale ma Rama: a hookauwa aku ke keiki na Iehova imua o Eli ke kahuna.
And Elcana went to Ramatha, to his house: but the child ministered in the sight of the Lord before the face of Heli the priest.
12 A o na keiki a Eli, he mau keiki hewa; aole i ike laua ia Iehova.
Now the sons of Heli were children of Belial, not knowing 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;
Nor the office of the priests to the people: but whosoever had offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest came, while the flesh was in boiling, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand,
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 thrust it into the kettle, or into the caldron, or into the pot, or into the pan: and all that the fleshhook brought up, the priest took to himself. Thus did they to all Israel that came to Silo.
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.
Also before they burnt the fat, the servant of the priest came, and said to the man that sacrificed: Give me flesh to boil for the priest: for I will not take of thee sodden flesh, but 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 he that sacrificed said to him: Let the fat first be burnt today according to the custom, and then take as much as thy soul desireth. But he answered and said to him: Not so: but thou shalt give it me now, or else 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.
Wherefore the sin of the young men was exceeding great before the Lord: because they withdrew men from the sacrifice of the Lord.
18 Aka o Samuela, he keiki, lawelawe no ia imua o Iehova, i kaeiia i ka epoda olona.
But Samuel ministered before the face of the Lord: being a child girded with 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 coat, which she brought to him on the appointed days, when she went up with her husband, to offer the solemn 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 Heli blessed Elcana and his wife: and he said to him: The Lord give thee seed of this woman, for the loan thou hast lent to the Lord. And they went to their own 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.
And the Lord visited Anna, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters: and the child Samuel became great 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 Heli was very old, and he heard all that his sons did to all Israel: and how they lay with the women that waited at the door of the tabernacle:
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 do ye these kinds of things, which I hear, very wicked things, from all the 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.
Do not so, my sons: for it is no good report that I hear, that you make the people of the Lord to transgress.
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 shall sin against another, God may be appeased in his behalf: but if a man shall sin against the Lord, who shall pray for him? And they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them.
26 A nui ae la o Samuela ke keiki: a ua alohaia oia e Iehova a me kanaka.
But the child Samuel advanced, and grew on, and pleased both the Lord and 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 there came a man of God to Heli, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Did I not plainly appear to thy father’s house, when they were in Egypt in the house of Pharao?
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 I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my sitar, and burn incense to me, and to wear the ephod before me: and I gave to thy father’s house of all the sacrifices of 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 have you kicked away my victims, and my gifts which I commanded to be offered in the temple: and thou hast rather honoured thy sons than me, to eat the firstfruits of every sacrifice 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.
Wherefore thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father should minister in my sight, for ever. But now saith the Lord: Far be this from me: but whosoever shall glorify me, him will I glorify: but they that despise me, shall be despised.
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 come: and I will cut off thy arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thy 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.
And thou shalt see thy rival in the temple, in all the prosperity of Israel, and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever.
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.
However I will not altogether take away a man of thee from my altar: but that thy eyes may faint and thy soul be spent: and a great part of thy house shall die when they come to man’s estate.
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 shall be a sign to thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees: In one day they shall both of them die.
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 raise me up a faithful priest, who shall do according to my heart, and my soul, and I will build him a faithful house, and he shall walk all days before my anointed.
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 it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall remain in thy house, shall come that he may be prayed for, and shall offer a piece of silver, and a roll of bread, and shall say: Put me, I beseech thee, to somewhat of the priestly office, that I may eat a morsel of bread.
