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.
And Rehoboam went to Shechem, —for, to Shechem, had all Israel come, 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.
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam son of Nebat, who was in Egypt-whither he had fled from the face of Solomon the king—heard of it, then returned Jeroboam 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,
And they sent, and called him, so Jeroboam and all Israel came, —and spake unto 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.
Thy father, made our yoke oppressive, —now, therefore, lighten thou somewhat the oppressive servitude of thy father and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
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.
And he said unto them, Yet three days, and then return unto me, —and 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?
Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who had been standing before Solomon his father, while he yet lived, saying, —How do, ye, counsel to return answer unto this 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.
And they spake unto him saying, If thou wilt be kind to this people, and please them, and speak unto them kind words, then will they be thy servants, all the days.
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 declined the counsel of the old men, which they gave him, —and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who were standing 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.
And he said unto them, What do, ye, counsel that we should return as answer, unto this people, —who have spoken unto me saying, Lighten thou somewhat the yoke, which thy father put upon us?
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.
Then spake with him the young men who had grown up with him, saying, Thus, shalt thou speak unto the people who have spoken unto thee saying, Thy father, made our yoke heavy, Thou, therefore, lighten somewhat our yoke, —Thus, shalt thou say unto them, My little finger, is thicker than my father’s loins;
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, therefore, my father, laid upon you a heavy yoke, but, I, will add to your yoke, —My father, chastised you with whips, but, I, 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 unto Rehoboam, on the third day, —as the king spake, saying, Return unto me on the third day.
13 Olelo kalaea aku la ke alii ia lakou; haalele ke alii o Rehoboama i ka oleloao a ka poe elemakule;
And the king answered them harshly, —and King Rehoboam declined 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 spake unto them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father, made your yoke heavy, but, I, will add thereunto, —My father, chastised you with whips, But, I, 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 hearkened not unto the people, —for there had come to be a turn from God, to the end Yahweh might establish his word which he had spoken by means of Ahijah the Shilonite, unto Jeroboam, 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.
And, when, all Israel, [saw] that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying—What portion have, we, in David, or inheritance in the son of Jesse? Every man, to your homes, O Israel! Now, see to thine own house, O David! And all Israel departed to their homes.
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 sons of Israel who were dwelling 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 tribute, and the sons of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. So, King Rehoboam, hasted to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Pela i kipi ai o ka Iseraela i ka ohana a Davida a hiki i keia la.
Thus Israel rebelled against the house of David—unto this day.
