I Samuela 7

1 A HELE mai la na kanaka o Kiriatiarima, a lawe aku la i ka pahu o Iehova, a waiho iho la ia maloko o ka hale o Abinadaba ma ka puu, a hoolaa aku la i kana keiki ia Eleazara e malama i ka pahu o Iehova.

And the men of Kiryath-ye'arim came, and fetched up the ark of the Lord, and brought it unto the house of Abinadab on the hill, and Elazar his son they sanctified to guard the ark of the Lord.

2 A i ka manawa i noho ai ka pahu ma Kiriatiarima, no ka mea, ua loihi ka manawa, he iwakalua makahiki: auwe ae la ko ka hale a pau o ka Iseraela, mamuli o Iehova.

And it came to pass, from the time the ark remained in Kiryath-ye'arim, and the time was long, and it was twenty years: that all the house of Israel followed anxiously after the Lord.

3 Olelo aku la o Samuela i ko ka hale a pau o ka Iseraela, i aku la, Ina e hoi hou oukou ia Iehova me ko oukou naau a pau, e hoolei aku oukou i na akua e, a me Asetarota, mai o oukou aku, a e hoomakaukau i ko oukou naau no Iehova, a e malama oukou ia ia wale no; a e hoopakele mai oia ia oukou mai ka lima mai o ko Pilisetia.

And Samuel said unto all the house of Israel, as followeth, If with all your heart ye do return unto the Lord, then put away the gods of the stranger and the 'Ashtaroth from your midst, and direct your heart unto the Lord, and serve him alone: and then will he deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

4 Alaila hoolei aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Baalima, a me Asetarota, a malama ia Iehova wale no.

Then did the children of Israel put away the Be'alim and the 'Ashtaroth, and served the Lord alone.

5 Olelo aku la o Samuela, E houluulu i ka Iseraela a pau ma Mizepa, a e pule aku au ia Iehova no oukou.

And Samuel said, Assemble all Israel together at Mizpah, and I will pray in your behalf unto the Lord.

6 A houluuluia'e la lakou ma Mizepa, a hukihuki lakou i ka wai, a ninini aku la imua o Iehova, a hookeai lakou ia la, i aku la, Ua hana hewa makou ia Iehova. Hooponopono aku la o Samuela i na mamo a Iseraela ma Mizepa.

And they assembled themselves together at Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before the Lord, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.

7 A lohe ae la ko Pilisetia i ka akoakoa ana o na mamo a Iseraela ma Mizepa, pii aku la na haku o ko Pilisetia e ku e i ka Iseraela. A lohe ae la na mamo a Iseraela, makau iho la lakou i ko Pilisetia.

And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel had assembled themselves at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

8 I aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Samuela, Mai hooki oe i ka hea ana'ku ia Iehova, i ko kakou Akua no makou, i hoopakele mai ai oia ia makou i ka lima o ko Pilisetia.

And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Do not abstain, so as not to cry for us unto the Lord our God, that he may help us out of the hand of the Philistines.

9 Lawe aku la o Samuela i ke keikihipa omo waiu, a kaumaha aku la ia mea a pau i mohaikuni ia Iehova; a kahea aku la o Samuela ia Iehova no ka Iseraela, a hoolohe mai o Iehova ia ia.

And Samuel took one sucking lamb, and offered it for an entire burnt-offering unto the Lord: and Samuel cried unto the Lord in behalf of Israel; and the Lord answered him.

10 A ia Samuela i kaumaha aku ai i ka mohaikuni, hookokoke mai ko Pilisetia e kaua mai i ka Iseraela: hoohekili mai la o Iehova me ka hekili nui maluna o ko Pilisetia ia la, a hoopuehu ia lakou; a pepehiia iho la lakou imua o ka Iseraela.

And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but the Lord thundered with a loud noise on that day over the Philistines, and brought them into confusion, and they were smitten before Israel.

11 Hele aku la na kanaka o ka Iseraela mawaho o Mizepa, a hahai aku la i ko Pilisetia, a luku aku la ia lakou a hiki ma Betekara.

And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, as far as below Beth-car.

12 Lawe aku la o Samuela i pohaku, a kukulu iho la mawaena o Mizepa a o Sena, a kapa aku la i kona inoa, o Ebenezera, i iho la, Ua kokua mai o Iehova ia kakou a hiki ia nei.

And Samuel took one stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Eben-ha'ezer, saying, As far as this hath the Lord helped us.

13 A pio iho la ko Pilisetia, aole i hele hou mai lakou maloko o ka mokuna o ka Iseraela; a ku e mai la ka lima o Iehova i ko Pilisetia i na la a pau o Samuela.

So were the Philistines humbled, and they came no more into the territory of Israel; and the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

14 A o na kulanakauhale i lilo i ko Pilisetia, ua hoihoiia mai ia no ka Iseraela, mai Ekerona a hiki i Gata; a me ko laila aina a puni na ka Iseraela i lawe ae mailoko mai o ka lima o ko Pilisetia. A ua kuikahi ka Iseraela me ka Amora.

And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel came again to Israel, from 'Ekron even unto Gath, and their territory did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Emorites.

15 A hooponopono aku la o Samuela i ka Iseraela i na la a pau o kona ola ana.

And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

16 Kaahele ae la ia i kela makahiki i keia makahiki, ma Betela, a ma Gilegala a ma Mizepa e hooponopono i ka Iseraela ma ia mau wahi a pau.

And he went from year to year and traveled in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all these places.

17 A hoi hou mai ia ma Rama: no ka mea, malaila kona hale: a hooponopono aku la ia i ka Iseraela malaila; a malaila hoi ia i hana'i i kuahu no Iehova.

And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel: and he built there an altar unto the Lord.
