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 Samuel's words were communicated to all the Israelites. The Israelites marched out to confront the Philistines in battle. They set up camp at Ebenezer, while the Philistines set up camp at Aphek.
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.
The Philistines attacked the Israelites in formation, and when the battle spread, the Philistines defeated the Israelites, killing 4,000 of them on the battlefield.
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.
When the Israelite army returned to camp, the elders of Israel asked, “Why did the Lord defeat us before Philistines today? Let's go and get the Ark of the Lord's Agreement from Shiloh, so that he can accompany us and save us from 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 army sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the Ark of the Lord Almighty's Agreement, he who sits on his throne between the cherubim. Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were there with the Ark of the God's Agreement.
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.
When the Ark of the Lord's Agreement arrived in the camp, all the Israelites gave such a loud shout it made the ground shake.
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.
When the Philistines heard all the shouting, they asked, “What's the meaning of this shouting in the Israelite camp?” When they found out that the Ark of the Lord had arrived in 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.
the Philistines were afraid. “A god has arrived in the camp,” they said. “We're in trouble, for nothing like this has happened before.
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.
This is disaster for us! Who will save us from the power of these mighty gods? These are the gods who attacked the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.
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.
Be brave, and fight like real men, Philistines! Otherwise you'll end up as slaves to the Israelites, just as they were your slaves. Now be real men 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 the Israelites were defeated—every man ran away home. The death toll was very large: thirty thousand of the Israelite infantry were killed.
11 A ua haoia ka pahu o ke Akua; a make na keiki elua a Eli, o Hopeni a o Pinehasa.
The Ark of God was captured, and Hophni and Phinehas, Eli's two sons, died.
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.
A man from the tribe of Benjamin ran from the battle that day all the way to Shiloh. His clothes were torn and he had dirt on his head.
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.
When he arrived, Eli was sitting there on his chair by the road, watching out for news because he was worried about the Ark of God. When the man came into town and gave his report, the whole town cried out loud.
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.
Eli heard the crying and asked, “What's all this noise?” The man rushed over to Eli and told him what had happened.
15 He kanaiwakumamawalu ko Eli mau makahiki, ua ku paa kona mau maka, aole ia i ike.
Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were fixed because he couldn't 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?
“I've just come from the battle,” the man said. “I ran away from it today.” “What happened, my son?” Eli asked.
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.
“Israel ran away from the Philistines—we were badly defeated,” the messenger replied. “Also your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were killed, and the Ark of God has been captured.”
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.
As soon as the Ark of God was mentioned, Eli fell backward from his chair by the town gate. Since he was old and heavy, he broke his neck and died. Eli had been Israel's leader for 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.
His daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was pregnant and about to give birth. When she heard the news that the Ark of God had been captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she went into labor and gave birth, but her labor pains were too strong.
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.
Just before she died, the women caring for her said, “Don't give up—you have given birth to a son!” But she didn't answer or give any response.
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.
She named the boy Ichabod, saying, “The glory has left Israel,” because Ark of God had been captured, and her father-in-law and her husband had died.
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.
She said, “The glory has left Israel, for the Ark of God has been captured.”
