Lunakanawai 8
1 OLELO aku la na kanaka o Eperaima ia ia, Heaha keia mea au i hana mai ai ia makou, i kou hea ole ana mai ia makou, i kou wa i hele aku ai e kaua me ko Midiana? Ikaika loa ko lakou hoopaapaa ana ia ia.
The men of Ephraim said to him, "Why have you done such a thing to us, not calling us when you went to fight with Midian?" And they argued with him fiercely.
2 Olelo ae la oia ia lakou, Heaha ka'u i hana'i me ka oukou? Aole anei i oi ke koena ai no Eperaima mamua o ka hoiliili ana o ka Abiezera?
He said to them, "What have I now done in comparison with you? Isn't the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
3 Ua haawi mai ke Akua i ko oukou lima i na'lii o Midiana, o Oreba, a me Zeeba. Heaha ka mea i hiki ia'u ke hana e like me ka oukou? Alaila, i kana olelo ana pela, maha ae la ko lakou huhu ia ia.
God has delivered into your hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and what was I able to do in comparison with you?" Then their anger subsided toward him, when he had said that.
4 Hele mai la o Gideona i Ioredane, a maalo ae la i kela aoao, oia a me ia mau haneri kanaka ekolu pu me ia, ua makaponiuniu, e hahai ana nae.
Gideon came to the Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men who were with him, exhausted and famished.
5 I ae la ia i kanaka o Sukota, Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oukou, e haawi mai i mau popo berena na ka poe e hahai ana ia u; no ka mea, ua makaponiuniu lakou, a e hahai ana au ia Zeba, a me Zalemuna, i na'lii o ko Midiana.
He said to the men of Succoth, "Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me; for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian."
6 I mai la na'lii o Sukota, Ua loaa anei na lima o Zeba, laua o Zalemuna i kou lima, i haawi aku ai makou i berena na kou poe kaua?
The princes of Succoth said, "Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?"
7 I ae la o Gideona, No ia mea, i ka wa e haawi mai ai o Iehova ia Zeba, laua o Zalemuna, i ko'u lima, alaila e kahi au i ko oukou io i ke kakalaioa a me na mea ooi o ka nahelehele.
Gideon said, "Therefore when YHWH has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will thresh your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers."
8 Pii aku la ia, mai laila aku, a i Penuela, a olelo aku la ia lakou pela. I mai la na kanaka o Penuela ia ia, e like me ka na kanaka o Sukota i i mai ai.
He went up there to Penuel, and spoke to them in like manner; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.
9 Olelo ae la ia i na kanaka o Penuela, i aku la, A hoi mai au me ka malu, alaila, e wawahi au i keia halekiai.
He spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, "When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower."
10 E noho ana o Zeba, laua o Zalemuna ma Karekora, a o ko laua mau puali pu me laua, he umikumamalima tausani paha, o ka poe a pau i koe o na puali o ka poe i noho ma ka hikina. Ua haule hookahi haneri me ka iwakalua tausani kanaka, unuhi pahi.
Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men, all who were left of all the army of the Kedemites; for there fell one hundred twenty thousand men who drew sword.
11 Pii aku la o Gideona ma ke ala o ka poe noho ma na halelewa, ma ka hikina o Noba, a me Iogebeha, a luku aku la i ka puali; no ka mea, e noho makau ole ana ka puali.
And Gideon went up by the way of those who dwell in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, opposite Zebah, and struck the army, when the army was unsuspecting.
12 Hee aku la o Zeba, laua o Zalemuna, a hahai aku la ia ia laua, a pio iho la ia ia na'lii elua o Midiana, o Zeba a me Zalemuna, a auhee aku la ka puali a pau.
Zebah and Zalmunna fled, and he pursued after them, and he took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and routed the entire army.
13 Hoi mai la o Gideona, ke keiki a Ioasa, mai ke kaua ana mai, mamua o ka hiki ana a ka la.
Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle from the ascent of Heres.
14 Paa iho la ia ia kekahi kanaka ui o Sukota, a ninau aku la ia ia, a hoike mai la oia ia ia i na'lii o Sukota a me kolaila poe lunakahiko, he kanahikukumamahiku kanaka.
He caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described for him the officials of Succoth, and its elders, seventy-seven men.
15 Hele mai la ia i kanaka o Sukota, i ae la, Eia hoi o Zeba, laua o Zalemuna, na mea a oukou i hoowahawaha mai ai ia'u, i ka i ana mai, Ua loaa anei na lima o Zeba laua o Zalemuna i kou lima, i haawi aku ai makou i ka berena na kou poe kanaka makaponiuniu?
He came to the men of Succoth, and said, "Look Zebah and Zalmunna, concerning whom you taunted me, saying, "Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your men who are weary?"
16 Lalau iho la ia i na lunakahiko o ia kulanakauhale, a me ke kakalaioa, a me na mea oioi o ka nahelehele, a me ia mau mea no ia i ao aku ai i na kanaka o Sukota.
He took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he threshed the men of Succoth.
17 Wawahi iho la no hoi ia i ka halekiai o Penuela, a luku aku la i kanaka o ia kulanakauhale.
He broke down the tower of Penuel, and killed the men of the city.
18 Alaila, ninau aku la oia ia Zeba laua o Zalemuna, Heaha ke ano o na kanaka a olua i pepehi ai ma Tabora? I mai la laua, E like me oe nei, pela lakou. Ua like lakou a pau me na keiki alii.
Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, "What kind of men were they whom you killed at Tabor?" They answered, "As you are, so were they; each one resembled the son of a king."
19 I aku la keia, he poe hoahanau lakou no'u, he poe keiki na ko'u makuwahine. Me Iehova e ola nei, ina i hoola olua ia lakou, ina aole au e pepehi aku ia olua.
He said, "They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As YHWH lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not kill you."
20 I mai la ia ia Ietera, i kana hiapo, E ku iluna, a pepehi ia laua. Aole unuhi ua keiki la i kana pahikaua; ua makau, no ka mea, he keiki ia.
He said to Jether his firstborn, "Get up, and kill them." But the youth did not draw his sword; for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
21 Alaila, olelo mai o Zeba laua o Zalemuna, E ku mai oe, a e pepehi mai ia maua, no ka mea, e like me ke kanaka, pela kona ikaika. Ku ae la o Gideona, a pepehi iho la ia Zeba, laua o Zalemuna, a lawe oia i na lei o na a-i o ka laua mau kamelo.
Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Rise up yourself, and kill us, for a man is judged by his strength." Gideon arose, and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescent ornaments that were on their camels' necks.
22 Alaila, olelo aku la na kanaka o ka Iseraela ia Gideona, I alii oe maluna o makou, o oe a me kau keiki, a me ke keiki a kau keiki; no ka mea, ua hoola mai oe ia makou, mailoko ae o ka lima o ko Midiana.
Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, "Rule over us, both you, and your son, and your son's son also; for you have saved us out of the hand of Midian."
23 I mai la o Gideona ia lakou, aole au e lilo i alii maluna o oukou, aole e lilo ka'u keiki i alii maluna o oukou. E lilo no o Iehova i alii maluna o oukou.
Gideon said to them, "I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: YHWH shall rule over you."
24 I mai la o Gideona ia lakou, He manao nonoi aku ko'u e nonoi aku ai ia oukou, e haawi mai kela kanaka keia kanaka o oukou ia'u, i na apo pepeiao o kona mea pio. (He apo pepeiao gula ko lakou, no ka mea, no ka Isemaela lakou.)
Gideon said to them, "I would make a request of you, that you would give me every man the earrings from his plunder." (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
25 I mai la lakou, E haawi io no makou. Hohola iho la lakou i lole, a hoolei iho la kela kanaka keia kanaka i na apo pepeiao o kona pio maluna iho.
They answered, "We will willingly give them." They spread a garment, and every one of them threw an earring from his plunder.
26 O ke kaumaha o ia mau apo pepeiao, ana i noi aku ai, hookahi ia tausani ehiku haueri sekela gula; a keu aku na lei, a me na momi pepeiao, a me ka lole poni mahana o na'lii o ko Midiana, a me na lei ma na a-i o ka laua mau kamelo.
The weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand and seven hundred pieces of gold, besides the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple clothing that was on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels' necks.
27 Hana iho la o Gideona ia mea, i epoda, a waiho iho la ma kona kulanakauhale, ma Opera. Hahai aku la ilaila ka Iseraela a pau, e kuko ana mamuli o ia mea; a lilo iho la ia i mea e hihia'i no Gideona, a me ko kona hale.
Gideon made an ephod of it, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel prostituted themselves after it there; and it became a snare to Gideon, and to his house.
28 Pela i pio ai ko Midiana imua o na mamo a Iseraela, aole lakou i hoala hou i ko lakou poo. Kuapapanui iho la ka aina hookahi kanaha makahiki, i ke kau ia Gideona.
So Midian was subdued before the children of Israel, and did not become a threat again. The land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon.
29 Hele aku la o Ierubaala ke keiki a Ioasa, a noho iho la ma kona hale iho.
Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and lived in his own house.
30 He kanahiku ka Gideona mau keikikane, mailoko aku o kona puhaka, no ka mea, ua nui loa kana poe wahine.
Gideon had seventy sons conceived from his body; for he had many wives.
31 A o kana haiawahine ma Se kema, oia kekahi i hanau mai i keikikane nana, a kapa aku la oia i kona inoa o Abimeleka.
His secondary wife who was in Shechem, she also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.
32 Make iho la o Gideona ke keiki a Ioasa, ua elemakule maikai, a kanuia oia ma ka ilina o kona makuakane, ma Opera, no ka Abiezara.
Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
33 A mahope iho o ka make ana o Gideona, huli hou aku la na mamo a Iseraela, a moe kolohe iho la me Baalima, a hoolilo iho la ia Baalaberita, i akua no lakou.
It happened, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and played the prostitute after the Baals, and made Baal Berith their god.
34 Aole hoomanao na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova, i ko lakou Akua, i ka mea i hoola'e ia lakou mai ka lima aku o ko lakou poe enemi, ma na aoao a puni.
The children of Israel did not remember YHWH their God, who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side;
35 Aole lakou i lokomaikai aku i ko ka hale o Ierubaala, oia hoi o Gideona, e like me na mea maikai a pau ana i hana mai ai i ka Iseraela.
neither did they show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shown to Israel.
