Lunakanawai 11
1 HE kanaka koa loa o Iepeta, no Gileada, a he keiki ia na kekahi wahine hookamakama: na Gileada o Iepeta.
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead brings forth Jephthah.
2 Hanau mai la ka Gileada wahine i mau keikikane nana; a oo ae la na keikikane a kana wahine, kipaku aku la lakou ia Iepeta, i aku la ia ia, Aole ou kuleana ma ka hale o ko makou makuakane; no ka mea, he keiki oe na kekahi wahine e.
And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, You shall not inherit in our father's house; for you are the son of a strange woman.
3 Holo aku la o Iepeta, mai ke alo aku o kona poe hoahanau, a noho ma ka aina o Toba. Akoakoa mai la na kanaka lapuwale io Iepeta la, a hele pu me ia.
Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.
4 A mahope iho o ia mau la, kaua aku la na mamo a Amona i ka Iseraela.
And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
5 A i ka manawa i kaua aku ai na mamo a Amona i ka Iseraela, alaila, hele aku la na lunakahiko o Gileada e lawe mai ia Iepeta, mai ka aina mai o Toba.
And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:
6 I aku la lakou ia Iepeta, E hele mai oe i luna kaua no makou, i kaua aku makou i na mamo a Amona.
And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
7 I mai la o Iepeta i na luna kahiko o Gileada, Aole anei oukou i hoowahawaha mai ia'u, a kipaku mai ia'u, mai ka hale mai o ko'u makuakane? No ke aha la oukou e hele mai ai io'u nei, i keia wa a oukou i pilikia'i?
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not all of you hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are all of you come unto me now when all of you are in distress?
8 I aku la na lunakahiko o Gileada ia Iepeta, Ke hoi hou mai nei makou ia oe, e hele pu oe me makou, e kaua aku i na mamo a Amona, a i lilo oe i poo maluna o ka poe a pau e noho ana ma Gileada.
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we return to you now, that you may go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
9 I mai la o Iepeta i na lunakahiko o Gileada, Ina hoihoi oukou ia'u e kaua aku i na mamo a Amona, a haawi mai o Iehova ia lakou imua o'u, e lilo anei au i poo no oukou?
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If all of you bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?
10 I aku la na lunakahiko o Gileada ia Iepeta, Na Iehova no e hoolohe mai mawaena o kakou, ke hana ole makou e like me kau olelo.
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to your words.
11 Alaila hele pu o Iepeta me na lunakahiko o Gileada, a hoonoho iho la na kanaka ia Iepeta, i poo, a i luna hoi maluna o lakou. Olelo aku la o Iepeta i kana olelo a pau imua o Iehova ma Mizepa.
Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.
12 Hoouna aku la o Iepeta i elele, i ke alii o na mamo a Amona, i aku la, Heaha kau ia'u, i hele mai ai oe e kaua i ko'u aina?
And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have you to do with me, that you are come against me to fight in my land?
13 I mai la ke alii o na mamo a Amona i na elele o Iepeta, No ka mea, lawe lilo ka Iseraela i ko'u aina, mai Arenona a hiki i Iaboka, a me Ioredane, i ka wa a lakou i hele mai ai, mailoko mai o Aigupita; nolaila, e hoihoi mai oe ia, me ka malu.
And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.
14 Hoouna hou aku la o Iepeta i elele i ke alii o na mamo a Amona:
And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:
15 I aku la ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iepeta, aole i lawe ka Iseraela i ka aina o Moaba, aole hoi i ka aina o na mamo a Amona;
And said unto him, Thus says Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:
16 I ka manawa i hele mai ai ka Iseraela, mai Aigupita mai, hele no lakou, ma ka waonahele a hiki i ke Kaiula, a komo no i Kadesa.
But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;
17 Alaila, hoouna ka Iseraela i elele i ke alii o Edoma, i aku la, E hele paha wau mawaena o kou aina. Aole hoolohe mai ke alii o Edoma. Pela no lakou i hoouna aku ai i ke alii o Moaba. Aole ia i ae, a noho no ka Iseraela ma Kadesa.
Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray you, pass through your land: but the king of Edom would not hearken thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh.
18 Hele ae la lakou ma ka waonahele, a puni ka aina o Edoma, a me ka aina o Moaba, ma ka aoao hikina o Moaba ka hele ana; a hoomoana iho la ma kela aoao o Arenona, aole hoi i komo maloko o na mokuna o Moaba; no ka mea, o Arenona ka mokuna o Moaba.
Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.
19 Hoouna aku la ka Iseraela i elele ia Sihona, i ke alii o ka Amora, ke alii o Hesebona, i aku la o Iseraela ia ia, E hele paha makou mawaena o kou aina, a hiki i ko'u wahi.
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray you, through your land into my place.
20 Aole oluolu o Sihona ke hele ka Iseraela ma kona mokuna. Hoakoakoa mai la o Sihona i kona poe kanaka a pau, a hoomoana iho la ma Iahaza, a kaua mai la i ka Iseraela.
But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
21 Haawi mai la o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela ia Sihona, a me kona poe kanaka a pau i ka lima o ka Iseraela, a luku aku la lakou nei i kela poe. A komo iho ka Iseraela i ka aina a pau o ka Amora, ka poe i noho ma ia aina.
And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they stroke them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
22 A komo no lakou i na mokuna a pau o ka Amora, mai Arenona, a hiki i Iaboka, mai ka waonahele, a hiki i Ioredane.
And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.
23 Ua hoonele mai o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela i ka Amora, mai ke alo aku o ka Iseraela, a e komo anei oe ia wahi?
So now the LORD God of Israel has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should you possess it?
24 Aole anei oe e komo i kahi a Kemosa, a kou akua, e hookomo ai ia oe? A o na mea a pau a Iehova a ko makou Akua e hoonele ai imua o makou, oia ka makou e komo ai.
Will not you possess that which Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.
25 Ua oi aku anei kou maikai mamua o ko Balaka, ke keiki a Zipora ke alii o Moaba? Ua paio anei ia me ka Iseraela, ua kaua anei ia lakou,
And now are you any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,
26 I ka noho ana o ka Iseraela ma Hesebona, a me kona mau kulanakauhale, a ma Aroera, a me kona mau kulanakauhale, a ma na kulanakauhale a pau e kokoke ana i na mokuna o Arenona, ekolu haneri makahiki? No ke aha la oukou i kii ole mai e lawe ia manawa?
While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did all of you not recover them within that time?
27 Aole au i hana hewa ia oe, aka, ke hana hewa mai nei oe ia'u i kou kaua ana mai ia'u. O Iehova ka lunakanawai, nana no e hooponopono mai i keia la iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela a me na mamo a Amona.
Wherefore I have not sinned against you, but you do me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
28 Aole hoolohe ke alii o na mamo a Amona i na olelo a Iepeta ana i hoouna aku ai ia ia.
Nevertheless the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
29 Alaila kau mai la ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna o Iepeta, a kaahele ae la ia i Gileada, a me ko Manase, a kaahele aku ia Mizepa o Gileada, a mai Mizepa o Gileada ia i hele aku ai a i na mamo a Amona.
Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.
30 Hoohiki iho la o Iepeta, me ka olelo haawi no Iehova, i aku la, Ina e haawi io mai oe i na mamo a Amona i ko'u lima,
And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If you shall without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,
31 Alaila, o ka mea e puka e mai ana, mailoko mai o na puka o ko'u hale, e halawai me au, i ko'u hoi ana me ka malu, mai na mamo a Amona aku, oia ko Iehova, a i ole ia na'u ia e kaumaha aku i mohai kuni.
Then it shall be, that whatsoever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
32 Hele aku la o Iepeta i na mamo a Amona, e kaua aku ia lakou; a haawi mai o Iehova ia lakou i kona lima.
So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
33 Luku aku la ia ia lakou, mai Aroera aku a hiki i Minita, he iwakalua kulanakauhale, a hiki no hoi i ka papu o na malawaina, he luku nui loa. Pio iho la na mamo a Amona imua o ke alo o na mamo a Iseraela.
And he stroke them from Aroer, even till you come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
34 Hoi mai la o Iepeta i Mizepa, i kona hale; aia hoi kana kaikamahine i hele mai iwaho, e halawai me ia, me na pahu kani, a me ka hula. O kana hanau kahi no ia; aole ana keikikane, aole hoi kaikamahine e ae.
And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
35 A ike aku la o Iepeta ia ia, haehae iho la i kona aahu, i aku la, Auwe kuu kaikamahine e! Ua hookaumaha loa mai oe ia'u; o oe kekahi i hoopilikia mai ia'u. Ua oaka ae la au i kuu waha ia Iehova, aole hiki ia'u ke hoi hope.
And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! you have brought me very low, and you are one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.
36 I aku la oia ia ia, E kuu makuakane, ua oaka oe i kou waha ia Iehova ea, e hana mai oe ia'u, e like me kela mea i puka aku, mai kou waha aku; no ka mea, ua hoopai o Iehova i kou poe enemi nou, i na mamo hoi a Amona.
And she said unto him, My father, if you have opened your mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which has proceeded out of your mouth; forasmuch as the LORD has taken vengeance for you of your enemies, even of the children of Ammon.
37 I aku la oia i kona makuakane, E hanaia keia mea no'u; e waiho wale ia'u, i elua malama, i hele au a kaahele i na mauna, a uwe i ko'u puupaa ana, owau a me ko'u poe hoahanau.
And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and mourn for my virginity, I and my fellows.
38 I mai la kela, O hele. Hoouna ae la oia ia ia i elua malama. Hele aku la ia me kona mau hoalauna, a uwe iho la ma na mauna no kona puupaa ana.
And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
39 A i ka pau ana o na malama elua, hoi mai la kela i kona makuakane, a hana aku la oia ia ia i kona hoohiki ana i hoohiki ai; aole hoi ia i ike i ke kane: a lilo ia i oihana mawaena o ka Iseraela,
And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
40 O ka hele ana o na kaikamahine o ka Iseraela, i kela makahiki, i keia makahiki, e hoomaikai i ke kaikamahine a Iepeta, no Gileada, eha la i ka makahiki
That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
