Lunakanawai 11
1 HE kanaka koa loa o Iepeta, no Gileada, a he keiki ia na kekahi wahine hookamakama: na Gileada o Iepeta.
And Jephthah the Gileadite hath been a mighty man of valour, and he [is] son of a woman, a harlot; and Gilead begetteth 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 the wife of Gilead beareth to him sons, and the wife's sons grow up and cast out Jephthah, and say to him, 'Thou dost not inherit in the house of our father; for son of another woman [art] thou.'
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.
And Jephthah fleeth from the face of his brethren, and dwelleth in the land of Tob; and vain men gather themselves together unto Jephthah, and they go out with him.
4 A mahope iho o ia mau la, kaua aku la na mamo a Amona i ka Iseraela.
And it cometh to pass, after a time, that the Bene-Ammon fight with 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 cometh to pass, when the Bene-Ammon have fought with Israel, that the elders of Gilead go to take Jephthah from 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 say unto Jephthah, 'Come, and thou hast been to us for captain, and we fight against the Bene-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 saith to the elders of Gilead, 'Have not ye hated me? and ye cast me out from the house of my father, and wherefore have ye come unto me now when ye 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 say unto Jephthah, 'Therefore, now, we have turned back unto thee; and thou hast gone with us, and fought against the Bene-Ammon, and thou hast been to us for head — to 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 saith unto the elders of Gilead, 'If ye are taking me back to fight against the Bene-Ammon, and Jehovah hath given them before me — I, am I to you for a 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 say unto Jephthah, 'Jehovah is hearkening between us — if according to thy word we do not so.'
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.
And Jephthah goeth with the elders of Gilead, and the people set him over them for head and for captain, and Jephthah speaketh all his words before Jehovah 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 sendeth messengers unto the king of the Bene-Ammon, saying, 'What — to me and to thee, that thou hast come in unto 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 Bene-Ammon saith unto the messengers of Jephthah, 'Because Israel took my land in his coming up out of Egypt, from Arnon, and unto the Jabbok, and unto the Jordan; and now, restore them in peace.'
14 Hoouna hou aku la o Iepeta i elele i ke alii o na mamo a Amona:
And Jephthah addeth yet and sendeth messengers unto the king of the Bene-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 saith to him, 'Thus said Jephthah, Israel took not the land of Moab, and the land of the Bene-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.
for in their coming up out of Egypt, Israel goeth in the wilderness unto the Red Sea, and cometh in 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.
and Israel sendeth messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me pass over, I pray thee, through thy land, and the king of Edom hearkened not; and also unto the king of Moab hath [Israel] sent, and he hath not been willing; and Israel abideth 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.
and he goeth through the wilderness, and compasseth the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and cometh in at the rising of the sun of the land of Moab, and they encamp beyond Arnon, and have not come into the border of Moab, for Arnon [is] 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 sendeth messengers unto Sihon, king of the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and Israel saith to him, Let us pass over, we pray thee, through thy land, unto 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.
and Sihon hath not trusted Israel to pass over through his border, and Sihon gathereth all his people, and they encamp in Jahaz, and fight with 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 Jehovah, God of Israel, giveth Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smite them, and Israel possesseth all the land of the Amorite, the inhabitant of that land,
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 possess all the border of the Amorite from Arnon, and unto the Jabbok, and from the wilderness, and unto the 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?
'And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, hath dispossessed the Amorite from the presence of His people Israel, and thou wouldest 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.
That which Chemosh thy god causeth thee to possess — dost thou not possess it? and all that which Jehovah our God hath dispossessed from our presence, — it we do 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, [art] thou at all better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he at all strive with Israel? did he at all 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?
In Israel's dwelling in Heshbon and in its towns, and in Aroer and in its towns, and in all the cities which [are] by the sides of Arnon three hundred years — and wherefore have ye not delivered them in 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.
And I — I have not sinned against thee, and thou art doing with me evil — to fight against me. Jehovah, the Judge, doth judge to-day between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon.'
28 Aole hoolohe ke alii o na mamo a Amona i na olelo a Iepeta ana i hoouna aku ai ia ia.
And the king of the Bene-Ammon hath not hearkened unto the words of Jephthah which he sent unto 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.
and the Spirit of Jehovah is on Jephthah, and he passeth over Gilead and Manasseh, and passeth over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he hath passed over to the Bene-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 voweth a vow to Jehovah, and saith, 'If Thou dost at all give the Bene-Ammon into my hand —
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 hath been, that which at all cometh out from the doors of my house to meet me in my turning back in peace from the Bene-Ammon — it hath been to Jehovah, or I have offered up for it — 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.
And Jephthah passeth over unto the Bene-Ammon to fight against them, and Jehovah giveth them into his hand,
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 smiteth them from Aroer, and unto thy going in to Minnith, twenty cities, and unto the meadow of the vineyards — a very great smiting; and the Bene-Ammon are humbled at the presence of the sons 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 cometh into Mizpeh, unto his house, and lo, his daughter is coming out to meet him with timbrels, and with choruses, and save her alone, he hath none, son or 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 cometh to pass, when he seeth her, that he rendeth his garments, and saith, 'Alas, my daughter, thou hast caused me greatly to bend, and thou hast been among those troubling me; and I — I have opened my mouth unto Jehovah, and I am not able to turn 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 saith unto him, 'My father — thou hast opened thy mouth unto Jehovah, do to me as it hath gone out from thy mouth, after that Jehovah hath done for thee vengeance on thine enemies, on the Bene-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 saith unto her father, 'Let this thing be done to me; desist from me two months, and I go on, and have gone down on the hills, and I weep for my virginity — I and my friends.'
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 saith, 'Go;' and he sendeth her away two months, and she goeth, she and her friends, and she weepeth for her virginity on the hills;
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 cometh to pass at the end of two months that she turneth back unto her father, and he doth to her his vow which he hath vowed, and she knew not a man; and it is a statute 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
from time to time the daughters of Israel go to talk to the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite, four days in a year.
