< 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 (who [is] Gideon) and all the people that [were] with him, rose early, and encamped beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them by 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, The people that [are] with thee [are] too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, My own hand hath saved me.
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.
Now therefore, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever [is] fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained 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.
And the LORD said to Gideon, The people [are] yet [too] many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for thee there; and it shall be, [that] of whom I say to thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say to thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall 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 brought down the people to the water: and the LORD said to Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
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.
And the number of them that lapped, [putting] their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink 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 the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand: and let all the [other] people go 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 the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all [the rest of] Israel every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men. And the host of Midian was beneath him 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.
And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said to him, Arise, go down to the host; for I have delivered it into thy hand.
10 Aka, ina makau oe ke iho ilalo, e hele pu olua me kou kanaka me Pura, a hiki i ka puali.
But if thou fearest to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:
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 thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thy hands be strengthened to go down to the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant to the outside of the armed men that [were] in the host.
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.
And the Midianites, and the Amalekites, and all the children of the east, lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels [were] without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.
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.
And when Gideon had come, behold, [there was] a man that told a dream to his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and lo, a cake of barley-bread rolled into the host of Midian, and came to a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it that the tent lay along.
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 fellow answered, and said, This [is] nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: [for] into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host.
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.
And it was [so], when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshiped, and returned to the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
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.
And he divided the three hundred men [into] three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
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, Look on me, and do likewise: and behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be [that] as I do, so shall ye do.
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.
When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that [are] with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, [The sword] of the LORD, and of 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 hundred men that [were] with him, came to the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers that [were] in their hands.
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.
And the three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow [with]: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of 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.
And they stood every man in his place around the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.
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 blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zereroth, [and] to the border of Abel-meholah, to 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 assembled out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued the Midianites.
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:
And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters to Beth-barah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim assembled, and took the waters to Beth-barah and 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 two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the wine-press of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of Jordan.
