< 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 left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known 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 that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing 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.
namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount 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.
They were left, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded 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.
The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hethites, 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 their daughters to be their wives, and 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.
The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.
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
Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Aram Naharaim; and the children of Israel served Cushan Rishathaim 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.
When the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother; and he obeyed him.
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 on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.
11 Kuapapanui iho la ka aina i hookahi kanaha makahiki; a make iho la o Oteniela, ke keiki a Kenaza.
The land had rest forty years. And Othniel the 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.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was 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.
He gathered to him the people of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
14 Hookauwa aku ka poe mamo a Iseraela na Egelona, ke Alii o Moaba, i umikumamawalu makahiki.
The children of Israel served Eglon the 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.
But when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the 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.
Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, eighteen inches in length; and he girded it under his clothing on his right thigh.
17 A lawe aku la ia i ka makana ia Egelona, i ke alii o Moaba. He kanaka konahua loa o Egelona.
He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon 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.
When he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people who bore the tribute.
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 turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." The king said, "Keep silence." All who stood by him went out from 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.
Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, "I have a message from God to you, O king." He arose out of 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 it happened as he rose up that Ehud put forth his left hand and took the sword from his right thigh and thrust it into his 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.
And the handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn't draw the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind.
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 forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked 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 was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and look, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, "Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room."
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.
They waited until they were ashamed; and look, he did not open the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened them, and look, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
26 Pakele o Ehuda, i ko lakou kakali ana, a hele aku la, ma o aku o na kii, a hiki i Seirata.
Ehud escaped while they waited, and passed beyond the quarries, 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.
It happened, when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he before them.
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.
He said to them, "Follow after me; for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand." They went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and did not allow a man to pass 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.
They struck of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; and there escaped not a man.
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 that day under the hand of Israel. Then the land had rest eighty years. And Ehud judged them until he died.
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 was Shamgar the son of Anath, who alone struck down six hundred men of the Philistines with an oxgoad. And he also saved Israel.
