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 went out and gathered together as one man from Dan to Bersabee, with the land of Galaad, to the Lord in Maspha:

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 all the chiefs of the people, and all the tribes of Israel met together in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen fit for war.

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?

(Nor were the children of Benjamin ignorant that the children of Israel were come up to Maspha.) And the Levite the husband of the woman that was killed, being asked, how so great a wickedness had been committed,

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;

Answered: I came into Gabaa of Benjamin with my wife, and there I lodged:

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 behold the men of that city in the night beset the house wherein I was, intending to kill me, and abused my wife with an incredible fury of lust, so that at last she died.

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.

And I took her and cut her in pieces, and sent the, parts into all the borders of your possession: because there never was so heinous a crime, and so great an abomination committed 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.

You are all here, O children of Israel, determine what you ought to do.

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.

And all the people standing, answered as by the voice of one man: We will not return to our tents, neither shall any one of us go into his own house:

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

But this we will do in common against Gabaa:

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.

We will take ten men of a hundred out of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to bring victuals for the army, that we might fight against Gabaa of Benjamin, and render to it for its wickedness, what it deserveth.

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.

And all Israel were gathered together against the city, as one man, with one mind, and one counsel:

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 they sent messengers to all the tribe of Benjamin to say to them: Why hath so great an abomination been found 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.

Deliver up the men of Gabaa, that have committed this heinous crime, that they may die, and the evil may be taken away out of Israel. But they would not hearken to the proposition of their brethren 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.

But out of all the cities which were of their lot, they gathered themselves together into Gabaa, to aid them, and to fight against the whole people 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 there were found of Benjamin five and twenty thousand men that drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa,

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 seven hundred most valiant men, fighting with the left hand as well as with the right: and slinging stones so sure that they could hit even a hair, and not miss by the stone’s going on either side.

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.

Of the men of Israel also, beside the children of Benjamin, were found four hundred thousand that drew swords, and were prepared to fight.

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 arose and came to the house of God, that is, to Silo: and they consulted God, and said: Who shall be in our army the first to go to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord answered them: Let Juda be your leader.

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

And forthwith the children of Israel rising in the morning, camped by Gabaa:

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 going out from thence to fight against Benjamin, began to assault the city.

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.

And the children of Benjamin coming out of Gabaa, slew of the children of Israel that day two and twenty thousand men.

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.

Again Israel trusting in their strength and their number, set their army in array in the same place, where they had fought before:

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.)

Yet so that they first went up and wept before the Lord until night: and consulted him, and said: Shall I go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin my brethren, or not? And he answered them: Go up against them, and join battle.

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

And when the children of Israel went out the next day to fight against the children of Benjamin,

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.

The children of Benjamin sallied forth out of the gates of Gabaa: and meeting them made so great a slaughter of them, as to kill eighteen thousand men that drew the sword.

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.

Wherefore all the children of Israel came to the house of God, and sat and wept before the Lord: and they fasted that day till the evening, and offered to him holocausts, and victims of peace offerings,

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

And inquired of him concerning their state. At that time the ark of the covenant of the Lord was there,

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 Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron was over the house. So they consulted the Lord and said: Shall we go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin our brethren, or shall we cease? And the Lord said to them: Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hands.

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

And the children of Israel set ambushes round about the city of Gabaa:

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 they drew up their army against Benjamin the third time, as they had done the first and second.

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 boldly issued out of the city, and seeing their enemies flee, pursued them a long way, so as to wound and kill some of them, as they had done the first and second day, whilst they fled by two highways, whereof one goeth up to Bethel, and the other to Gabaa, and they slew about thirty men:

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.

For they thought to cut them off, as they did before. But they artfully feigning a flight, designed to draw them away from the city, and by their seeming to flee to bring them to the highways aforesaid.

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.

Then all the children of Israel rising up out of the places where they were, set their army in battle array, in the place which is called Baalthamar. The ambushes also which were about the city, began by little and little to come forth,

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 to march from the west side of the city. And other ten thousand men chosen out of all Israel attacked the inhabitants of the city. And the battle grew hot against the children of Benjamin: and they understood not that present death threatened them on every side.

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.

And the Lord defeated them before the children of Israel, and they slew of them in that day five and twenty thousand, and one hundred, all fighting men and that drew the sword.

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.

But the children of Benjamin when they saw themselves to be too weak, began to flee. Which the children of Israel seeing, gave them place to flee, that they might come to the ambushes that were prepared, which they had set near the city.

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 they that were in ambush arose on a sudden out of their coverts, and whilst Benjamin turned their backs to the slayers, went into the city, and smote it with the edge of the sword.

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 children of Israel had given a sign to them, whom they had laid in ambushes, that after they had taken the city, they should make a fire: that by the smoke rising on high, they might shew that the city was taken.

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.

And when the children of Israel saw this in the battle (for the children of Benjamin thought they fled and pursued them vigorously, killing thirty men of their army)

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.

And perceived as it were a pillar of smoke rise up from the city; and Benjamin looking back, saw that the city was taken, and that the flames ascended on high:

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.

They that before had made as if they fled, turning their faces stood bravely against them; which the children of Benjamin seeing, turned their backs,

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.

And began to go towards the way of the desert, the enemy pursuing them thither also. And they that fired the city came also out to meet them.

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 so it was, that they were slain on both sides by the enemies, and there was no rest of their men dying. They fell and were beaten down on the east side of the city Gabaa.

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

And they that were slain in the same place were eighteen thousand men, all most valiant soldiers.

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 when they that remained of Benjamin saw this, they fled into the wilderness and made towards the rock that is called Remmon. In that flight, also as they were straggling and going different ways, they slew of them five thousand men. And as they went farther, they still pursued them, and slew also other two thousand.

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.

And so it came to pass, that all that were slain of Benjamin in divers places, were five and twenty thousand fighting men, most valiant for 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.

And there remained of all the number of Benjamin only six hundred men that were able to escape, and flee to the wilderness: and they abode in the rock Remmon 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.

But the children of Israel returning, put all the remains of the city to the sword, both men and beasts, and all the cities and villages of Benjamin were consumed with devouring flames.
