Lunakanawai 7
1 A LAILA, o Ierubaala, oia hoi o Gideona, a me na kanaka a pau me ia, ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui, a hoomakaukau iho la ma ka luawai o Haroda. Aia hoi ka puali o ko Midiana ma ka aoao kukulu akau o lakou, ma ka papu e kokoke ana i ka puu o More.
Then Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, and all the people with him, got up early and put up their tents by the side of the water-spring of Harod; the tents of Midian were on the north side of him, under the hill of Moreh in the valley.
2 I mai la o Iehova ia Gideona, Ua nui loa ka poe kanaka me oe, nolaila, aole pono ia'u ke haawi i ko Midiana i ko lakou lima, o hookiekie auanei ka Iseraela imua o'u me ka olelo iho, Na kuu lima iho wau i hoola mai nei.
And the Lord said to Gideon, So great is the number of your people, that if I give the Midianites into their hands they will be uplifted in pride over me and will say, I myself have been my saviour.
3 No ia mea la ea, e hea aku oe ma na pepeiao o kanaka, e i aku, O ka mea hopohopo, a makau hoi, e hoi ia, a e haalele i ka mauna o Gileada. A hoi aku la, he iwakaluakumamalua tausani kanaka, a koe iho he umi tausani.
So now, let it be given out to the people that anyone who is shaking with fear is to go back from Mount Galud. So twenty-two thousand of the people went back, but there were still ten thousand.
4 I mai la o Iehova ia Gideona, Ua nui loa na kanaka i koe. E kai mai oe ia lakou ilalo i ka wai, a na'u no e hoao ia lakou nou malaila; a o ka mea a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe, Eia ka mea hele me oe, oia ke hele; a o ka mea a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe, aole hele keia me oe, aole ia e hele.
Then the Lord said to Gideon, There are still more people than is necessary; take them down to the water so that I may put them to the test for you there; then whoever I say is to go with you will go, and whoever I say is not to go will not go.
5 Kai mai la ia i kanaka ilalo i ka wai; i iho la o Iehova ia Gideona, O kela mea keia mea, e palu ana i ka wai, me kona alelo, e like me ko ka ilio palu ana, oia kau e hoonoho ai ma o lakou la; a pela hoi kela mea keia mea e kukuli iho ma kona mau kuli e inu.
So he took the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gideon, Put on one side by themselves all those drinking up the water with their tongues like a dog; and in the same way, all those who go down on their knees to the water while drinking.
6 A o ka helu ana i ka poe i palu, e kapi ana ka lima, a i ko lakou waha, ekolu haneri kanaka. Aka, o na kanaka e a pau loa, kukuli iho la lakou a pau ma ko lakou mau kuli, e inu wai.
Now the number of those who took up the water with their tongues was three hundred; all the rest of the people went down on their knees to the water.
7 I mai la o Iehova ia Gideona, Ma keia poe kanaka, ekolu haneri, ka poe i palu e hoola aku ai au ia oukou, a e haawi iho no i ko Midiana i kou lima; e kuu aku hoi i na kanaka e a pau, e hoi i ko lakou wahi.
And the Lord said to Gideon, By those three hundred who were drinking with their tongues I will give you salvation and give the Midianites into your hands; let the rest of the people go away, every man to his place.
8 Lawe na kanaka i wahi o, ma ko lakou lima, a me ko lakou mau pu; a hoouna aku la ia i ka Iseraela a pau, i kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona halelewa iho, a hookoe iho i kela poe kanaka, ekolu haneri. A aia hoi ka puali o ko Midiana malalo iho ona, ma ka papu.
So they took the vessels of the people, and their horns from their hands, and he sent them away, every man to his tent, keeping only the three hundred; and the tents of Midian were lower down in the valley.
9 Ia po iho, olelo mai o Iehova ia ia, E ala ae, a e iho ilalo i ka puali; no ka mea, ua hoolilo au ia lakou i kou lima.
The same night the Lord said to him, Up! go down now against their army, for I have given them into your hands.
10 Aka, ina makau oe ke iho ilalo, e hele pu olua me kou kanaka me Pura, a hiki i ka puali.
But if you have fear of going down, take your servant Purah with you and go down to the tents;
11 E hoolohe oe i ka mea a lakou e olelo ai, a mahope iho, e ikaika auanei kou lima ke iho ilalo i ka puali. Alaila, iho aku la ia ilalo me Pura kona kanaka, a hiki i ka welau o ka poe kaua ma ka puali.
And after hearing what they are saying, you will get strength to go down against the army. So he went down with his servant Purah to the outer line of the tents of the armed men.
12 E moe ana ko Midiana a me ka Ameleka, a me na kanaka a pau o ka hikina, ma kahi papu, ua like me na uhini ka nui loa; a o ka lakou poe kamelo, aole i pau i ka heluia, ua like me na one o kahakai ka nui.
Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the people of the east were covering the valley like locusts; and their camels were like the sand by the seaside, without number.
13 A hiki aku la o Gideona, aia hoi, e hai ana kekahi kanaka i ka moe i kona hoa, i ae la, Ua moe au i ka moe, aia hoi, he popo palaoa huluhulu i olokaa mai nei iloko o ka puali o ko Midiana, a hiki i kekahi halelewa, pa aku ia, a hina ia, a hoohiolo, mai luna mai, a palaha ae la ka halelewa.
When Gideon came there, a man was giving his friend an account of his dream, saying, See, I had a dream about a cake of barley bread which, falling into the tents of Midian, came on to the tent, overturning it so that it was stretched out flat on the earth.
14 I ae la kona hoa ia ia, Aole keia he mea e, o ka pahikaua wale no a Gideona, ke keiki a Ioasa, he kanaka no ka Iseraela. Ua hoolilo o Iehova i ko Midiana, a me ka puali a pau i kona lima.
And his friend in answer said, This is certainly the sword of Gideon, the son of Joash, the men of Israel: into their hands God has given up all the army of Midian.
15 A i ka manawa i lohe ai o Gideona i ka hai ana o ka moe, a me ka hoakakaia, hoomana aku la ia, a hoi hou aku la i ka puali o ka Iseraela, i iho la, E ku ae iluna, no ka mea, ua hoolilo o Iehova i ka puali o ko Midiana i ko oukou lima.
Then Gideon, hearing the story of the dream and the sense in which they took it, gave worship; then he went back to the tents of Israel, and said, Up! for the Lord has given the army of Midian into your hands.
16 Mahele ae la oia i kela poe kanaka ekolu haneri, i ekolu poe, a haawi ae la i na pu i ka lima o lakou a pau, a me ka ipu kaawale, he lamaku ko loko.
Then separating the three hundred men into three bands, he gave every man a horn, and a vessel in which was a flaming branch.
17 I aku la ia lakou, E nana mai oukou ia'u, a e hana like, aia hiki aku la au i ka palena o kahi e hoomoana'i, e like me ka'u hana ana, pela oukou e hana'i.
And he said to them, Keep your eyes on me, and do what I do; when I come to the outer line of tents, whatever I do, you are to do the same.
18 A i puhi aku au i ka pu, ea, owau, a me ka poe me au, alaila, e puhi oukou i na pu ma na aoao a pau o kahi hoomoana'i a pau, me ka i aku, No Iehova a me Gideona.
At the sound of my horn, and the horns of those who are with me, let your horns be sounded all round the tents, and say, For the Lord and for Gideon.
19 Alaila, hele mai la o Gideona, a me ka haneri kanaka pu me ia, a hiki i ka palena o kahi hoomoana'i i ka mua o ka wati waena, akahi no lakou i hoonoho ia wati. Puhi iho la lakou i ka pu, a wawahi ae la na ipu ma ko lakou mau lima.
So Gideon and the three hundred men who were with him came to the outer line of tents, at the start of the middle watch, when the watchmen had only then taken their stations; and the horns were sounded and the vessels broken.
20 O kela mau poe ekolu, puhi no lakou i na pu, a wawahi ae la i na ipu, a paa iho la na lama ma ko lakou mau lima hema, a o na pu ma ko lakou mau lima akau, e puhi. Hea aku la lakou, Ka pahikaua a Iehova a me Gideona.
So the three bands all gave a loud note on their horns, and when the vessels had been broken, they took the flaming branches in their left hands, and the horns in their right hands ready for blowing, crying out, For the Lord and for Gideon.
21 Ku no kela kanaka keia kanaka ma kona wahi iho, a puni kahi i hoomoana'i. Holo aku la ka puali a pau, a uwa aku la, a hee.
Then they made a line round the tents, every man in his place; and all the army, awaking from sleep, came running out, and with loud cries went in flight.
22 Puhi iho la na haneri ekolu i ka pu, a hookau mai la o Iehova i ka pahikaua a kela kanaka keia kanaka maluna o lakou iho, ma ka puali a pau; a holo aku la ka puali, a hiki i Betesita, ma Zererata, ma ka mokuna o Abelamehola, a me Tabata.
And the three hundred gave a loud note on their horns, and every man's sword was turned by the Lord against his brother all through the army; and the army went in flight as far as Beth-shittah in the direction of Zeredah, to the edge of Abel-meholah by Tabbath.
23 A akoakoa mai la na kanaka o Iseraela, no ka Napetali mai, a no ka Asera mai, a no ka Manase mai, a hahai aku la i ko Midiana.
And the men of Israel came together from Naphtali and from Asher and all Manasseh, and went after Midian.
24 Hoouna aku la o Gideona i mau elele ma ka mauna a pau o Eperaima, i aku la, E iho mai oukou e halawai me ko Midiana, a e lawe lilo i ko lakou wai, a hiki i Betebara, a me Ioredane. Alaila akoakoa mai na kanaka o Eperaima, a lilo ia lakou na wai, a hiki i Betebara, a me Ioredane:
Then Gideon sent through all the hill-country of Ephraim saying, Come down against Midian, and keep the ways across Jordan before they come. So all the men of Ephraim, massing themselves together, kept the ways across Jordan.
25 A pio ia lakou na'lii elua o ko Midiana, o Oreba, a me Zeeba; a pepehi lakou ia Oreba ma Pohaku Oreba, a pepehi lakou ia Zeeba ma Pawaina-Zeba, A hahai lakou i ko Midiana, a lawe mai la i na poo o Oreba a me Zeeba ia Gideona ma kela aoao o Ioredane.
And they took the two chiefs of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they put Oreb to death at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they put to death at the place of the grape-crushing in Zeeb, and they went after Midian; but the heads of Oreb and Zeeb they took across Jordan to Gideon.
