Lunakanawai 3
1 EIA na lahuikanaka a Iehova i waiho ai e hoao i ka Iseraela, i ka poe a pau i ike ole i ke kaua ana a pau ma Kanaana;
These are the nations that the LORD left to test all the Israelites who had not known any of the wars in Canaan,
2 I mea wale no e ike ai na hanauna o na mamo a Iseraela, e ao aku ia lakou i ke kaua, i ka poe hoi i ike ole ia mea mamua;
if only to teach warfare to the subsequent generations of Israel, especially to those who had not known it formerly:
3 Elima alii o ko Pilisetia, a me ko Kanaana a pau, a me ko Zidona, a me ko Hevi i noho ma ka mauna o Lebanona, mai ka mauna mai o Baala-Heremona a hiki i Hamata.
the five rulers of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived in the mountains of Lebanon from Mount Baal-hermon to Lebo-hamath.
4 He mea lakou e hoao ai i ka Iseraela, i ikeia ko lakou hoolohe a me ka ole i na kauoha a Iehova ana i kauoha mai ai i ko lakou poe makua, ma ka lima o Mose.
These nations were left to test the Israelites, to find out whether they would keep the commandments of the LORD, which He had given their fathers through Moses.
5 Noho pu iho la no na mamo a Iseraela me ko Kanaana, a me ka Heta, a me ka Amora, a me ka Pereza, a me ka Hevi, a me ka Iebusi.
Thus the Israelites continued to live among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
6 A lawe no lakou i ka lakou kaikamahine, i wahine na lakou, a haawi no i ka lakou kaikamahine iho i na keikikane a kela poe kanaka; a malama no i ko lakou poe akua.
And they took the daughters of these people in marriage, gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
7 Hana hewa iho la na mamo a Iseraela imua o Iehova, a hoopoina ae la ia Iehova, i ko lakou Akua, a malama aku la ia Baala a me Asetarota.
So the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD; they forgot the LORD their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs.
8 Wela iho la ka huhu o Iehova i ka Iseraela, a hoolilo ae la oia ia lakou i ka lima o Kusanerisataima, ke alii o Mesopotamia, a hookauwa aku na mamo a Iseraela na Kusanerisataima, i ewalu makahiki
Then the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram-naharaim, and the Israelites served him eight years.
9 A kahea aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova, alaila, hoala mai o Iehova i mea nana e hoola'e i na mamo a Iseraela, a hoola ae la oia ia lakou, o Oteniela, ke keiki a Kenaza, ke kaikaina o Kaleba.
But when the Israelites cried out to the LORD, He raised up Othniel son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz as a deliverer to save them.
10 Kau mai ka Uhane o Iehova maluna ona, a hooponopono ia i ka Iseraela, a hele aku la i ke kaua; a haawi mai la o Iehova ma kona lima, ia Kusanerisataima, ke alii o Mesopotamia. A lanakila ae la kona lima maluna o Kusanerisataima.
The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he became Israel’s judge and went out to war. And the LORD delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram into the hand of Othniel, who prevailed against him.
11 Kuapapanui iho la ka aina i hookahi kanaha makahiki; a make iho la o Oteniela, ke keiki a Kenaza.
So the land had rest for forty years, until Othniel son of Kenaz died.
12 Hana hewa hou aku la na mamo a Iseraela imua o Iehova. A hooikaika mai la o Iehova ia Egelona i ke alii o Moaba, e ku e i ka Iseraela, no ka mea, ua hana hewa lakou imua o Iehova.
Once again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. So He gave Eglon king of Moab power over Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
13 Hoakoakoa mai la oia io na la i na mamo a Amona, a me Amaleka, hele ae la, a luku aku la i ka Iseraela, a loaa ia ia ke kulanakauhale o na laau pama.
After enlisting the Ammonites and Amalekites to join forces with him, Eglon attacked and defeated Israel, taking possession of the City of Palms.
14 Hookauwa aku ka poe mamo a Iseraela na Egelona, ke Alii o Moaba, i umikumamawalu makahiki.
The Israelites served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
15 A i ka wa i kahea aku ai na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova, alaila, hoala mai o Iehova i mea e hoopakele ae ia lakou, o Ehuda, ke keiki a Gera, he mamo na Beniamina, he kanaka lima hema: a ma kona lima i hoouna aku ai na mamo a Iseraela i makana no Egelona ke alii o Moaba.
And again they cried out to the LORD, and He raised up Ehud son of Gera, a left-handed Benjamite, as their deliverer. So they sent him with tribute to Eglon king of Moab.
16 Hana iho la o Ehuda i pahikaua oi lua nana, hookahi kubita ka loihi, a omau ae la ma kona uha akau, maloko o kona kapa.
Now Ehud had made for himself a double-edged sword a cubit long. He strapped it to his right thigh under his cloak
17 A lawe aku la ia i ka makana ia Egelona, i ke alii o Moaba. He kanaka konahua loa o Egelona.
and brought the tribute to Eglon king of Moab, who was an obese man.
18 A pau ka haawi ana i ka makana, hoihoi aku la ia i ka poe kanaka i lawe i ka makana.
After Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he ushered out those who had carried it.
19 Hoi hou aku la ia, mai na kii o Gilegala aku, i aku la, He olelo malu ka'u nau, e ke alii. I ae la kela, E noho malie. A o ka poe a pau e ku pu ana me ia, hele aku la lakou i waho.
But upon reaching the idols near Gilgal, he himself turned back and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” “Silence,” said the king, and all his attendants left him.
20 Hele mai la o Ehuda io na la; e noho ana ia ma ke keena hooluolu maluna; nona wale no ia wahi I ae la o Ehuda ia ia, He mea ka'u ia oe, na ke Akua mai. Ku mai la oia, mai kona noho mai.
Then Ehud approached him while he was sitting alone in the coolness of his upper room. “I have a word from God for you,” Ehud said, and the king rose from his seat.
21 Hooholo iho la o Ehuda i kona lima hema, lalau iho la i ka pahi ma kona uha akau, a hou aku la iloko o kona opu.
And Ehud reached with his left hand, pulled the sword from his right thigh, and plunged it into Eglon’s belly.
22 Komo pu aku la ke au mahope a ka maka, a paa mai la ke konahua maluna o ka maka, aole i hiki ia ia ke unuhi i ka pahi mailoko mai o kona opu; a hu mai la ka lepo.
Even the handle sank in after the blade, and Eglon’s fat closed in over it, so that Ehud did not withdraw the sword from his belly. And Eglon’s bowels emptied.
23 Alaila, hele aku la o Ehuda iwaho o ka lanai, a pani ae la i na puka o ke keena, a hoopaa iho la.
Then Ehud went out through the porch, closing and locking the doors of the upper room behind him.
24 A hala aku la ia iwaho, hele mai la na kauwa a Egelona, nana ae la, aia hoi, ua paa na puka o ke keena. I iho la lakou, Ke uhi wale nei oia i kona wawae maloko o ke keena hooluolu.
After Ehud was gone, Eglon’s servants came in and found the doors of the upper room locked. “He must be relieving himself in the cool room,” they said.
25 Kakali iho la lakou, a hilahila wale, aia hoi, aole ia i wehe mai i na puka o ke keena; a lawe lakou i ke ki, a wehe ae la, aia hoi, ua hina ko lakou haku ilalo i ka honua, ua make.
So they waited until they became worried and saw that he had still not opened the doors of the upper room. Then they took the key and opened the doors—and there was their lord lying dead on the floor.
26 Pakele o Ehuda, i ko lakou kakali ana, a hele aku la, ma o aku o na kii, a hiki i Seirata.
Ehud, however, had escaped while the servants waited. He passed by the idols and escaped to Seirah.
27 A hiki aku la ia, puhi iho la ia i ka pu ma na mauna o Eperaima, a iho pu aku la na mamo a Iseraela me ia, mai ka mauna mai, a oia ma ko lakou alo.
On arriving in Seirah, he blew the ram’s horn throughout the hill country of Ephraim. The Israelites came down with him from the hills, and he became their leader.
28 I aku la ia ia lakou, E hahai oukou mamuli o'u, no ka mea, ua haawi mai o Iehova i ko oukou poe enemi, i ka Moaba iloko o ko oukou lima. A hahai aku la lakou mamuli ona, a lilo ia lakou na ahua o Ioredane, e ku pono ana i Moaba, aole i ae aku i kekahi kanaka ke hele i kela aoao.
“Follow me,” he told them, “for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” So they followed him down and seized the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross over.
29 Luku aku la lakou i ko Moaba ia manawa, i umi paha tausani kanaka, he poe puipui wale no, ua koa no lakou a pau; aole hookahi kanaka i pakele.
At that time they struck down about ten thousand Moabites, all robust and valiant men. Not one of them escaped.
30 Hoohaahaaia ko Moaba ia la maialo iho o ka lima o ka Iseraela. Kuapapanui iho la ka aina, i kanawalu makahiki.
So Moab was subdued under the hand of Israel that day, and the land had rest for eighty years.
31 Mahope iho ona, ku mai o Samegara, ke keiki a Anata, nana i luku aku i eono haneri kanaka o ko Pilisetia i ke o bipi; a hoopakele ae la hoi oia i ka Iseraela.
After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath. And he too saved Israel, striking down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad.
