Lunakanawai 20

1 A LAILA, hele aku la na mamo A a pau o ka Iseraela, a akoakoa ae la ia poe, me he kanaka hookahi la, mai Dana, a hiki i Beereseba, a me ko ka aina o Gileada, a io Iehova la i Mizepa.

Then all the children of Israel took up arms, and the people came together like one man, from Dan to Beer-sheba, and the land of Gilead, before the Lord at Mizpah.

2 Ku mai la na luna o na kanaka a pau, no na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela maloko o ka ahakanaka o ke Akua, eha haneri tausani kanaka i hele wawae, me ka unuhi i ka pahikaua.

And the chiefs of the people, out of all the tribes of Israel, took their places in the meeting of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen armed with swords.

3 (Lohe iho la na mamo a Beniamina, ua pii aku na mamo a Iseraela i Mizepa.) Alaila, olelo mai na mamo a Iseraela, E hai mai oukou: pehea la keia hewa?

(Now the children of Benjamin had word that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the children of Israel said, Make clear how this evil thing took place.

4 Olelo aku la ka Levi, ke kane a ka wahine i pepehiia, i aku la, I ko'u hele ana i Gibea no Beniamina, owau a me ka'u haiawahine, a moe ilaila;

Then the Levite, the husband of the dead woman, said in answer, I came to Gibeah in the land of Benjamin, I and my servant-wife, for the purpose of stopping there for the night.

5 Kuee mai la na kanaka o Gibea ia'u, a hoopuni iho la lakou i ka hale maluna o'u, i ka po, manao iho la e pepehi mai ia'u; a hoohaahaa iho la lakou i ka'u haiawahine, a ua make loa ia.

And the townsmen of Gibeah came together against me, going round the house on all sides by night; it was their purpose to put me to death, and my servant-wife was violently used by them and is dead.

6 Lalau aku la au i ka'u haiawahine, oki liilii iho la, a hoouna aku la i na aina a pau i ili mai ai i ka Iseraela; no ka mea, ua hana lakou ma ka moe kolohe a me ka lapuwale iloko o ka Iseraela.

So I took her, cutting her into parts which I sent through all the country of the heritage of Israel: for they have done an act of shame in Israel.

7 Aia hoi, he poe mamo oukou a pau na Iseraela. E haawi mai i ko oukou manao a me ka oukou pono.

Here you all are, you children of Israel; give now your suggestions about what is to be done.

8 Ku mai la na kanaka a pau me he kanaka hookahi la, i mai la, Aole kekahi o kakou e hele i kona halelewa, aole hoi kekahi o kakou e hoi i kona hale.

Then all the people got up as one man and said, Not one of us will go to his tent or go back to his house:

9 Eia ka mea a kakou e hana aku ai ia Gibea, ma ka hailona e ku e ia ia.

But this is what we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by the decision of the Lord;

10 E lawe kakou i umi kanaka o ka haneri, no na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, a he haneri no ka tausani, a he tausani no ka umi tausani, na lakou no e lawe mai i ka ai na na kanaka, i hana lakou i ko Gibea no Beniamina, ke hiki lakou ilaila, e like me ka mea lapuwale a pau a lakou i hana'i maloko o ka Iseraela.

And we will take ten men out of every hundred, through all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of every thousand, a thousand out of every ten thousand, to get food for the people, so that they may give to Gibeah of Benjamin the right punishment for the act of shame they have done in Israel.

11 Alaila, hoakoakoa mai la na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, e ku e i ua kulanakauhale la, ua huipu e like me ke kanaka hookahi.

So all the men of Israel were banded together against the town, united like one man.

12 Hoouna aku la na ohana o Iseraela i kanaka ma ka ohana a pau o Beniamina, i aku la, Heaha keia hewa i hanaia iwaena o oukou?

And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin saying, What is this evil which has been done among you?

13 Nolaila ea, e haawi mai oukou ia poe kanaka i na kanaka hewa hoi ma Gibea, i pepehi aku makou ia lakou, a hoopau aku i ka hewa, mai Iseraela aku. Aole i hoolohe mai ka Beniamina i ka leo o ko lakou poe hoahanau, na mamo a Iseraela.

Now give up those good-for-nothing persons in Gibeah so that we may put them to death, clearing away the evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not give ear to the voice of their brothers, the children of Israel.

14 Hoakoakoa mai la na mamo a Beniamina, mailoko mai o na kulanakauhale ma Gibea, e hele aku e kaua me na mamo a Iseraela.

And the children of Benjamin came together from all their towns to Gibeah, to go to war with the children of Israel.

15 Ua heluia na mamo a Beniamina ia la, mailoko mai o na kulanakauhale, he iwakaluakumamaono tausani kanaka i unuhi i ka pahikaua, a koe aku ka poe i noho ma Gibea, a heluia lakou, ehiku haneri kanaka i waeia.

And the children of Benjamin who came that day from the towns were twenty-six thousand men armed with swords, in addition to the people of Gibeah, numbering seven hundred of the best fighting-men,

16 Iloko o ia poe kanaka a pau, ehiku haneri kanaka i waeia, he poe lima hema; e hiki no ia lakou a pau ke maa aku i ka pohaku i ka lauoho, aole hoi e hala.

Who were left-handed, able to send a stone at a hair without error.

17 A o na kanaka o ka Iseraela i heluia, eha haneri tausani lakou i unuhi i ka pahikaua, a koe aku ka Beniamina. He poe kanaka kaua keia a pau.

And the men of Israel, other than Benjamin, were four hundred thousand in number, all armed with swords; they were all men of war.

18 Ku mai la na mamo a Iseraela, a pii aku la i ka hale o ke Akua, ninau aku la i ke Akua, I aku la, Owai ko makou mea e pii mua aku ai, e kaua aku i na mamo a Beniamina? I mai la o Iehova, O Iuda mua.

And they got up and went up to Beth-el to get directions from God, and the children of Israel said, Who is to be the first to go up to the fight against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord said, Judah is to go up first.

19 Ku mai la na mamo o ka Iseraela i kakahiaka, a hoonohonoho ku e aku la ia Gibea.

So the children of Israel got up in the morning and put themselves in position against Gibeah.

20 Hele aku la na kanaka o Iseraela e kaua aku i ka Beniamina; a hoomakaukau iho na kanaka o Iseraela e kana aku ia lakou ma Gibea.

And the men of Israel went out to war against Benjamin (and the men of Israel put their forces in fighting order against them at Gibeah).

21 Puka mai la na mamo a Beniamina, mailoko mai o Gibea, a luku iho la ilalo i ka lepo ia la, he iwakaluakumamalua tausani kanaka o ka Iseraela.

Then the children of Benjamin came out from Gibeah, cutting down twenty-two thousand of the Israelites that day.

22 Hooikaika iho la na kanaka o ka Iseraela, a hoomakaukau e hoouka hou i ke kaua ma kahi a lakou i hoouka ai i ka la mua.

But the people, the men of Israel, taking heart again, put their forces in order and took up the same position as on the first day.

23 (Pii aku la na mamo a Iseraela, a uwe aku la imua o Iehova, a ahiahi, ninau aku la ia Iehova, i aku la, E pii hou anei au e kaua aku i na keiki a Beniamina, a kuu kaikaina? I mai la o Iehova, E pii ku e ia ia.)

Now the children of Israel went up, weeping before the Lord till evening, requesting the Lord and saying, Am I to go forward again to the fight against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the Lord said, Go up against him.

24 A i ka lua o ka la hookokoke mai na mamo a Iseraela e ku e i na mamo a Beniamina.

So the children of Israel went forward against the children of Benjamin the second day.

25 Puka mai la ka Beniamina mailoko mai o Gibea, i ka lua o ka la, a luku honua mai la i na mamo a Iseraela, he umikumamawalu tausani kanaka he poe unuhi pahikaua keia a pau.

And the second day Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah, cutting down eighteen thousand men of the children of Israel, all swordsmen.

26 Alaila, pii aku la na mamo a Iseraela, a me na kanaka a pau, a hiki aku la i ka hale o ke Akua, a uwe aku la, a noho iho la imua o Iehova, a hookeai iho la ia la a po, a mohai aku la i na mohaikuni, a me na mohaimakana, imua o Iehova.

Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up to Beth-el, weeping and waiting there before the Lord, going without food all day till evening, and offering burned offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord.

27 Ninau aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova, (no ka mea, malaila no ka pahuberita o ke Akua ia mau la,

And the children of Israel made request to the Lord, (for the ark of the agreement of the Lord was there in those days,

28 O Pinehasa, ke keiki a Eleazara ke keiki a Aarona, ka i ku imua ona ia mau la, ) e aku la, E hele hou anei au e kaua aku i na mamo a Beniamina, a kuu kaikaina, e oki anei? I mai la o Iehova, O pii, no ka mea, apopo, e haawi au ia lakou iloko o kou lima.

And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was in his place before it, ) and said, Am I still to go on with the fight against the children of Benjamin my brother, or am I to give it up? And the Lord said, Go on; for tomorrow I will give him into your hands.

29 Hoonoho iho la ka Iseraela i poe hoohalua a puni o Gibea.

So Israel put men secretly all round Gibeah to make a surprise attack on it.

30 Pii aku la na mamo a Iseraela e ku e i na mamo a Beniamina, i ke kolu o ka la, a hoomakaukau e kaua i ko Gibea e like me na wa mamua.

And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in fighting order against Gibeah as before.

31 Puka aku la na mamo a Beniamina e ku e i kanaka, a kaiia'ku la lakou, mai ke kulanakauhale aku; a hoomaka e luku aku i kanaka, me ka hou aku e like me ka wa mamua, ma na ala e pii aku ai i Betela, a i na kula o Gibea kekahi, he kanakolu paha kanaka o Iseraela.

And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, moving away from the town; and as before, at their first attack, they put to death about thirty men of Israel on the highways, of which one goes up to Beth-el and the other to Gibeah, and in the open country.

32 I iho la na mamo a Beniamina, Ua lukuia lakou imua o kakou e like me ka wa mamua. Olelo no hoi na mamo a Iseraela, E hee kakou, a e kai aku ia lakou, mai ke kulanakauhale aku, a i na alanui.

And the children of Benjamin said, They are giving way before us as at first. But the children of Israel said, Let us go in flight and get them away from the town, into the highways.

33 Ku mai la na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, mai ko lakou wahi mai, a hoomakaukau iho la e kaua ma Baalatamara. A o ka poe hoohalua o ka Iseraela, lulumi mai la lakou mailoko mai o ko lakou wahi, mai na kula mai o Gibea.

So all the men of Israel got up and put themselves in fighting order at Baal-tamar: and those who had been waiting secretly to make a surprise attack came rushing out of their place on the west of Geba.

34 Hele ku e mai la ia Gibea, he umi tausani kanaka i waeia mailoko mai o ka Iseraela a pau, a ikaika loa iho la ke kaua; aole nae lakou i ike, ua kokoke mai ka hewa ia lakou.

And they came in front of Gibeah, ten thousand of the best men in all Israel, and the fighting became more violent; but the children of Benjamin were not conscious that evil was coming on them.

35 Luku mai la o Iehova i ka Beniamina imua o ka Iseraela. Luku ae la na mamo a Iseraela i ka Beniamina ia la, he iwakaluakumamalima tausani kanaka, hookahi haneri keu; unuhi keia poe a pau i ka pahikaua.

Then the Lord sent sudden fear on Benjamin before Israel; and that day the children of Israel put to death twenty-five thousand, one hundred men of Benjamin, all of them swordsmen.

36 Ike iho la na mamo a Beniamina, ua lukuia lakou; no ka mea, haawi ae la no hoi na kanaka o Iseraela i wahi no ka Beniamina, no ko lakou manao ana i ka poe hoohalua a lakou i hoonoho ai ma Gibea.

So the children of Benjamin saw that they were overcome: and the men of Israel had given way before Benjamin, putting their faith in the watchers who were to make the surprise attack on Gibeah.

37 A o ka poe hoohalua, wikiwiki iho lakou, a lele aku ia Gibea, a hoopalahalaha ae la ia lakou iho, a luku aku la i ua kulanakauhale la.

And the watchers, rushing on Gibeah and overrunning it, put all the town to the sword without mercy.

38 Ua hoomaopopoia ka manawa i na kanaka o ka Iseraela, a me ka poe hoohalua, i hana lakou i ka uwahi, i mea punohu aku iluna, mailoko aku o ke kulanakauhale.

Now the sign fixed between the men of Israel and those making the surprise attack was that when they made a pillar of smoke go up from the town,

39 A hee na kanaka o Iseraela i ke kaua, hoomaka iho la ko Beniamina e luku aku, me ka hou iho i kanaka o Iseraela, i kanakolu paha kanaka; no ka mea, olelo lakou, He oiaio no, ua lukuia lakou imua o kakou, e like me ke kaua mua ana.

The men of Israel were to make a turn about in the fight. And Benjamin had overcome and put to death about thirty of the men of Israel, and were saying, Certainly they are falling back before us as in the first fight.

40 A pii aku la ka lapalapa o ke ahi, mai ke kulanakauhale aku, a lilo i kiaao; alaila, nana aku la ko Beniamina mahope o lakou, aia hoi, punohu aku la ka wela ana o ke kulanakauhale a pau i ka lani.

Then the sign went up out of the town in the pillar of smoke, and the Benjamites, turning back, saw all the town going up in smoke to heaven.

41 A huli hou na kanaka o Iseraela, alaila, hee pioloke iho la na kanaka o Beniamina; no ka mea, ua ike lakou ua hiki mai ka hewa maluna o lakou.

And the men of Israel had made a turn about, and the men of Benjamin were overcome with fear, for they saw that evil had overtaken them.

42 Nolaila, huli lakou, mai ke alo aku o na kanaka o ka Iseraela, a i ke ala e hiki aku ai i ka waonahele; aka, hahai no ke kaua ia lakou, a luku no lakou i ka poe mailoko mai o na kauhale iwaenakonu o lakou.

So turning their backs on the men of Israel, they went in the direction of the waste land; but the fight overtook them; and those who came out of the town were heading them off and putting them to the sword.

43 Hoopuni iho la lakou i ko Beniamina, a hahai aku la ia lakou, a hahi iho la maluna o lakou ma Menuka, ma ke alo o Gibea, ma ka hikina o ka la.

And crushing Benjamin down, they went after them, driving them from Nohah as far as the east side of Gibeah.

44 He umikumamawalu tausani kanaka o Beniamina i haule, he poe kanaka koa keia a pau.

Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin came to their death, all strong men of war.

45 Huli lakou, a pee aku i ka waonahele, i ka pohaku o Rimona; a hoiliili lakou i ke koena ma na alanui, elima tausani kanaka, a hahai aku ia lakou a hiki i Gidoma, a luku aku la i elua tausani kanaka.

And turning, they went in flight to the rock of Rimmon in the waste land: and on the highways five thousand of them were cut off by the men of Israel, who, pushing on hard after them to Geba, put to death two thousand more.

46 A o na kanaka a pau o Beniamina i haule. he iwakaluakumamalima tausani kanaka i unuhi i ka pahikaua. He poe kanaka koa keia a pau.

So twenty-five thousand of the swordsmen of Benjamin came to their end that day, all strong men of war.

47 Eono haneri kanaka i huli a pee i ka waonahele, malalo o ka pohaku o Rimona, a noho ma ka pohaku o Rimona, i eha malama.

But six hundred men, turning back, went in flight to the rock of Rimmon in the waste land, and were living on the rock of Rimmon for four months.

48 Huli hou na kanaka o Iseraela e alo i na mamo a Beniamina, a luku aku la ia lakou i ka maka o ka pahikaua, mai na kanaka aku a na holoholona, a me na mea a pau, i loaa ia lakou. A puhi iho la lakou i na kulanakauhale a pau i ke ahi, ma na wahi a lakou i hiki aku ai.

And the men of Israel, turning again against the children of Benjamin, put to the sword without mercy all the towns and the cattle and everything there was, burning every town which came into their hands.
