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 Kirjath-jearim came, and brought up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep 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, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented 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 spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return to the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put away the strange gods, and Ashtaroth, from among you, and prepare your hearts to the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you from 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 the children of Israel put away Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.

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, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you to 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 at Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured [it] out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and there said, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.

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 were assembled at Mizpeh, 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, Cease not to cry to the LORD our God for us, that he will save us from 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 a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a burnt-offering wholly to the LORD: and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard 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 the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; 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 Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under 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.

Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto 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 the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the borders 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 were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and the borders of it did Israel deliver from the hands of the Philistines: and there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

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 in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those 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 there he built an altar to the LORD.
