I Samuela 4

1 A HIKI ae la ka olelo a Samuela i ka Iseraela a pau. Hele ku e aku la ka Iseraela i ko Pilisetia i ke kaua, a hoomoana iho la ma Ebenezera; a o ko Pilisetia hoomoana iho la ma Apeka.

And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight: and Israel went out to war against the Philistines, and camped by the Stone of help. And the Philistines came to Aphec,

2 Hoomakaukau iho ko Pilisetia ia lakou iho e ku e i ka Iseraela; a hoouka iho la, a ua lukuia o ka Iseraela imua o ko Pilisetia; a eha tausani kanaka paha i lukuia i ke kaua ana ma ke kula.

And put their army in array against Israel. And when they had joined battle, Israel turned their backs to the Philistines, and there was slain in that fight here and there in the fields about four thousand men.

3 A hiki mai la na kanaka i kahi i hoomoana'i, i ae la na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, No ke aha la o Iehova i luku mai ai ia kakou i keia la imua o ko Pilisetia? E lawe mai io kakou nei i ka pahuberita o Iehova mai Silo mai, a hiki mai ia iwaena o kakou, oia ka mea e hoola ia kakou mai ka lima mai o ko kakou poe enemi.

And the people returned to the camp: and the ancients of Israel said: Why hath the Lord defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Silo, and let it come in the midst of us, that it may save us from the hand of our enemies.

4 Hoouna aku la na kanaka ma Silo e lawe mai mailaila mai i ka pahuberita o Iehova sabaota, e waiho ana mawaena o na kerubima: ilaila na keiki elua a Eli, o Hopeni a me Pinehasa me ka pahuberita o ke Akua.

So the people sent to Silo, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts sitting upon the cherubims: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were with the ark of the covenant of God.

5 A hiki mai la ka pahuberita o Iehova iloko o kahi i hoomoana'i, hooho ae la ka Iseraela a pau me ka hooho nui, a haalulu ka honua.

And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, and the earth rang again.

6 A lohe ae la ko Pilisetia i ka leo o ka hooho ana, i ae la lakou, No ke aha la ka leo o keia hooho nui ana ma kahi i hoomoana'i ka poe Hebera? A ike lakou, ua hiki mai ka pahu o Iehova ma kahi i hoomoana'i.

And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and they said: What is this noise of a great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.

7 Makau iho la ko Pilisetia, no ka mea, i iho la lakou, Ua hiki mai ke Akua iloko o kahi i hoomoana'i. I ae la lakou, Auwe kakou! no ka mea, aohe mea mamua e like ai me keia.

And the Philistines were afraid, saying: God is come into the camp. And sighing, they said:

8 Auwe kakou! owai la ka mea nana kakou e hoola mai ka lima mai o keia mau Akua mana? o na Akua keia i luku ai i ka poe o Aigupita i ua ino a pau ma ka waonahele.

Woe to us: for there was no such great joy yesterday and the day before: Woe to us. Who shall deliver us from the hand of these high gods? these are the gods that struck Egypt with all the plagues in the desert.

9 E ikaika oukou, e hookanaka hoi, e ko Pilisetia, i lilo ole ai oukou i kauwa na ka poe Hebera, e like me lakou na oukou: e hookanaka e kaua aku.

Take courage and behave like men, ye Philistines: lest you come to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have served you: take courage and fight.

10 A kaua aku la ko Pilisetia, a lukuia o ka Iseraela, a holo kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona halelewa; a he nui loa na mea i make, no ka mea, haule iho la o ka Iseraela, he kanakolu tausani koa hele wawae.

So the Philistines fought, and Israel was overthrown, and every man fled to his own dwelling: and there was an exceeding great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.

11 A ua haoia ka pahu o ke Akua; a make na keiki elua a Eli, o Hopeni a o Pinehasa.

And the ark of God was taken: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were slain.

12 Holo aku la kekahi kanaka no Beniamina mai ke kaua aku, a hiki ma Silo ia la hookahi, me kona kapa i haehaeia, a me ka lepo maluna o kona poo.

And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Silo the same day, with his clothes rent, and his head strewed with dust.

13 A hiki aku la ia, aia hoi, e noho ana o Eli maluna o ka noho ma kapa alanui, e kiai ana: no ka mea, pihoihoi kona naau no ka pahu o ke Akua. A hiki aku la ke kanaka ma ke kulanakauhale, a hai aku, auwe nui iho la ko ke kulanakauhale a pau.

And when he was come, Heli sat upon a stool over against the way watching. For his heart was fearful for the ark of God. And when the man was come into the city, he told it: and all the city cried out.

14 A lohe ae la o Eli i ka leo o ka uwe ana, i iho la ia, No ke aha la ka leo o keia haunaele? A hele koke mai ke kanaka, a hai ia Eli.

And Heli heard the noise of the cry, and he said: What meaneth the noise of this uproar? But he made haste, and came, and told Heli.

15 He kanaiwakumamawalu ko Eli mau makahiki, ua ku paa kona mau maka, aole ia i ike.

Now Heli was ninety and eight years old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see.

16 I mai la ke kanaka ia Eli, Owau no ka mea i hele mai, mai ke kaua mai, i keia la wau i holo mai nei mai ke kaua mai. Ninau aku la ia, Heaha ka olelo, e kuu keiki?

And he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and have fled out of the field this day. And he said to him: What is there done, my son?

17 Olelo mai la ka elele, i mai la, Ua hee ka Iseraela imua o ko Pilisetia: a ua nui loa ka poe kanaka i pepehiia; a o kau mau keiki elua, o Hopeni a o Pinehasa, ua make laua, a ua haoia ka pahu o ke Akua.

And he that brought the news answered, and said: Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter of the people: moreover thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees, are dead: and the ark of God is taken.

18 A i kona hai ana mai i ka pahu o ke Akua, haule iho la o Eli mahope o kona noho ma ka aoao o ka ipuka, a hai kona a-i, a make iho la ia; no ka mea, he kanaka elemakule ia, ua kaumaha hoi. A ua hooponopono aku ia i ka Iseraela i na makahiki he kanaha.

And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from his stool backwards by the door, and broke his neck, and died. For he was an old man, and far advanced in years: and he judged Israel forty years.

19 A o kona hunonawahine, ka wahine a Pinehasa, ua hapai, kokoke no i puni: a lohe ae la oia ia mea, i ka lilo ana o ka pahu o ke Akua, i ka make ana o kona makuahonoaikane a me kaua kane hoi, kulou iho la ia, no ka hanau ana; no ka mea, ua hiki mai kona nahunahu ia ia.

And his daughter in law the wife of Phinees, was big with child, and near her time: and hearing the news that the ark of God was taken, and her father in law, and her husband, were dead, she bowed herself and fell in labour: for her pains came upon her on a sudden.

20 A kokoke ia e make, i aku la na wahine e ku ana ia ia, Mai makau oe, no ka mea, ua hoohanau oe i keikikane. Aole ia i ekemu mai, aole hoi ia i maliu mai.

And when she was upon the point of death, they that stood about her said to her: Fear not, for thou hast borne a son. She answered them not, nor gave heed to them.

21 A kapa aku la ia i ka inoa o ke keiki o Ikaboda, i aku la, Ua hala aku la ka nani mai ka Iseraela aku; no ka pahu o ke Akua i laweia'ku, a no kona makuahonoaikane, a no kana kane.

And she called the child Ichabod, saying: The glory is gone from Israel, because the ark of God was taken, and for her father in law, and her husband:

22 I aku la ia, Ua hala aku la ka nani mai ka Iseraela aku: no ka mea, ua haoia ka pahu o ke Akua.

And she said: The glory is departed from Israel, because the ark of God was taken.
