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;

Now these are the nations which the Lord kept in the land for the purpose of testing Israel by them, all those who had had no experience of all the wars of 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;

Only because of the generations of the children of Israel, for the purpose of teaching them war — only those who up till then had no experience of it;

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 chiefs of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites and the Zidonians and the Hivites living in Mount Lebanon, from the mountain Baal-hermon as far as 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.

For the purpose of testing Israel by them, to see if they would give ear to the orders of the Lord, which he had given to their fathers by the hand of 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.

Now the children of Israel were living among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the 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 as wives the daughters of these nations and gave their daughters to their sons, and became servants to 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.

And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and put out of their minds the Lord their God, and became servants to the Baals and the Astartes.

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

So the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel were his servants for 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.

And when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

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.

And the spirit of the Lord came on him and he became judge of Israel, and went out to war, and the Lord gave up Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia, into his hands and he overcame him.

11 Kuapapanui iho la ka aina i hookahi kanaha makahiki; a make iho la o Oteniela, ke keiki a Kenaza.

Then for forty years the land had peace, till the death of Othniel, the son of Kenaz.

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.

Then the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord; and the Lord made Eglon, king of Moab, strong against Israel, because they had done evil in the Lord's eyes.

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.

And Eglon got together the people of Ammon and Amalek, and they went and overcame Israel and took the town of palm-trees.

14 Hookauwa aku ka poe mamo a Iseraela na Egelona, ke Alii o Moaba, i umikumamawalu makahiki.

And the children of Israel were servants to Eglon, king of Moab, for 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.

Then when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man; and the children of Israel sent an offering by him 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.

So Ehud made himself a two-edged sword, a cubit long, which he put on at his right side under his robe.

17 A lawe aku la ia i ka makana ia Egelona, i ke alii o Moaba. He kanaka konahua loa o Egelona.

And he took the offering to Eglon, king of Moab, who was a very fat man.

18 A pau ka haawi ana i ka makana, hoihoi aku la ia i ka poe kanaka i lawe i ka makana.

And after giving the offering, he sent away the people who had come with the offering.

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 he himself, turning back from the stone images at Gilgal, said, I have something to say to you in secret, O king. And he said, Let there be quiet. Then all those who were waiting before him went out.

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 came in to him while he was seated by himself in his summer-house. And Ehud said, I have a word from God for you. And he got up 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 put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right side, and sent it into his stomach;

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.

And the hand-part went in after the blade, and the fat was joined up over the blade; for he did not take the sword out of his stomach. And he went out into the ...

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 into the covered way, shutting the doors of the summer-house on him and locking them.

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.

Now when he had gone, the king's servants came, and saw that the doors of the summer-house were locked; and they said, It may be that he is in his summer-house for a private purpose.

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.

And they went on waiting till they were shamed, but the doors were still shut; so they took the key, and, opening them, saw their lord stretched out 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.

But Ehud had got away while they were waiting and had gone past the stone images and got away 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.

And when he came there, he had a horn sounded in the hill-country of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he at their head.

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.

And he said to them, Come after me; for the Lord has given the Moabites, your haters, into your hands. So they went down after him and took the crossing-places of Jordan against Moab, and let no one go across.

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 put about ten thousand men of Moab to the sword, every strong man and every man of war; not a man got away.

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 broken that day under the hand of Israel. And for eighty years the land had peace.

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.

And after him came Shamgar, the son of Anath, who put to death six hundred Philistines with an ox-stick; and he was another saviour of Israel.
