II Oihanaalii 10
1 HELE aku la o Rhoboama i Sekema, no ka mea, ua hiki mai ka Iseraela a pau i Sekema e hoonoho ia ia i alii.
Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
2 Lohe ae la o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, e noho ana ia ma Aigupita kahi ana i mahuka aku ai mai ke alo aku o Solomona ke alii, a hoi mai o Ieroboama mai Aigupita mai.
When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3 A hoouna aku la lakou a kahea aku ia ia; a hele mai o Ieroboama a me ka Iseraela a pau, a olelo mai la lakou ia Rehoboama, i mai la,
They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
4 Ua hookaumaha kou makuakane i ka makou auamo, ano hoi, e hoomama iki i ka hana hooluhi a kou makuakane, a me ka auamo kaumaha ana i kau mai ai maluna o makou, a e hookauwa aku makou nau.
“Your father made our yoke grievous. Now therefore make the grievous service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”
5 Olelo aku la oia ia lakou, A hala na la ekolu, e hoi hou mai oukou i o'u nei. A hele aku la na kanaka.
He said to them, “Come again to me after three days.” So the people departed.
6 A ahaolelo pu iho la o Rehoboama ke alii me ka poe elemakule, ka poe i ku imua o Solomona, kona makuakane i ka wa o kona ola ana, i aku la, Heaha ka oukou e manao ai i mea e hai aku i keia poe kanaka?
King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me about how to answer these people?”
7 Olelo lakou ia ia, i mai la, Ina e noho oe i mea e pono ai keia poe kanaka, a e hooluolu aku, a olelo i na mea maikai ia lakou, alaila, e noho mau lakou i poe kauwa nau.
They spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to these people, please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”
8 Aka, haalele ae la ia i ka oleloao a ka poe elemakule, ka mea a lakou i ao mai ai, a ahaolelo pu iho la me ka poe kanaka ui, ka poe i noho pu me ia a nui, a e ku ana hoi imua ona.
But he abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
9 I aku la oia ia lakou, Heaha ko oukou manao i mea e olelo aku ai kakou i keia poe kanaka, ka poe i olelo mai ia'u, me ka i ana mai, E hoomama iki i ka auamo a kou makua i kau mai ai maluna o makou.
He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may give an answer to these people, who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter’?”
10 Olelo mai la ka poe kanaka ui, ka poe i noho pu me ia a nui, i mai la, Penei kau e olelo aku ai i ka poe kanaka i olelo mai ia oe, i mai ana, Ua hookaumaha kou makuakane i ka makou auamo, ano hoi e hoomama iki i ka makou auamo; penei oe e olelo aku ai ia lakou, E oi aku ka manoanoa o ko'u manamana lima iki i ka puhaka o ko'u makuakane.
The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us;’ thus you shall say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
11 Ua kau mai la ko'u makuakane i auamo kaumaha maluna o oukou, aka hoi, e hoonui au i ka oukou auamo; ua hahau mai ko'u makuakane ia oukou i ka huipa, aka hoi, e hahau au ia oukou i na moohueloawa.
Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’”
12 A hoi mai o Ieroboama a me ka poe kanaka a pau io Rehoboama la i ka po akolu, e like me ka ke alii i olelo aku ai, E hoi mai oukou io'u nei i ke kolu o ka la.
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.”
13 Olelo kalaea aku la ke alii ia lakou; haalele ke alii o Rehoboama i ka oleloao a ka poe elemakule;
The king answered them roughly; and King Rehoboam abandoned the counsel of the old men,
14 A olelo aku la ia lakou e like me ka oleloao a ka poe kanaka ui, i aku la, Ua hookaumaha ko'u makua i ka oukou auamo, aka, e hoonui au ia mea; ua hahau ko'u makuakane ia oukou i ka huipa, aka, owau hoi e hahau ia oukou i na moohueloawa.
and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”
15 Pela i hoolohe ole aku ai ke alii i na kanaka; no ka mea, no ke Akua mai keia i hooko ai o Iehova i ka olelo ana i olelo mai ai ma o Ahiia la no Silo ia Ieroboama i ke keiki a Nebata.
So the king did not listen to the people; for it was brought about by God, that the LORD might establish his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 A ike ae la ka Iseraela a pau, aole i hoolohe ke alii ia lakou, olelo na kanaka i ke alii, i mai la, Heaha ko makou kuleana iloko o Davida? aohe o makou hooilina iloko o ke keiki a Iese; e hoi no kela kanaka keia kanaka a pau i kona halelewa, e ka Iseraela; ano, e nana oe i kou hale iho, e Davida. Pela i hoi ai ka Iseraela a pau i ko lakou mau halelewa.
When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion do we have in David? We do not have an inheritance in the son of Jesse! Every man to your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So all Israel departed to their tents.
17 A o ka poe mamo a Iseraela e noho ana iloko o na kulanakauhale o Iuda, nohoalii iho la o Rehoboama maluna o lakou.
But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Hoouna aku la ke alii o Rehoboama ia Hedorama i ka mea maluna o ka auhau ana, a hailuku na mamo a Iseraela ia ia, a make ia. Alaila, wikiwiki ae la ke alii o Rehoboama e pii maluna o kona hale kaa, a e holo i Ierusalema.
Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Pela i kipi ai o ka Iseraela i ka ohana a Davida a hiki i keia la.
So Israel rebelled against David’s house to this day.
