< Judges 8 >

1 And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why have you served us thus, that you called us not, when you went to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.
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.
2 And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
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?
3 God has delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was decreased toward him, when he had said that.
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.
4 And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.
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.
5 And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
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.
6 And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread unto your army?
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?
7 And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
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.
8 And he went up thence to Penuel, and spoke unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.
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.
9 And he spoke also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
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.
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.
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.
11 And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and stroke the host; for the host was secure.
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.
12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and humiliated all the host.
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.
13 And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,
Hoi mai la o Gideona, ke keiki a Ioasa, mai ke kaua ana mai, mamua o ka hiki ana a ka la.
14 And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him: and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even threescore and seventeen men.
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.
15 And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom all of you did reproach me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread unto your men that are weary?
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?
16 And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
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.
17 And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
Wawahi iho la no hoi ia i ka halekiai o Penuela, a luku aku la i kanaka o ia kulanakauhale.
18 Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom all of you slew at Tabor? And they answered, As you are, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.
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.
19 And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the LORD lives, if all of you had saved them alive, I would not slay you.
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.
20 And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
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.
21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise you, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels' necks.
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.
22 Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule you over us, both you, and your son, and your son's son also: for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian.
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.
23 And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.
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.
24 And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that all of you would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
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.)
25 And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.
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.
26 And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels' necks.
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.
27 And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.
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.
28 Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.
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.
29 And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
Hele aku la o Ierubaala ke keiki a Ioasa, a noho iho la ma kona hale iho.
30 And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
He kanahiku ka Gideona mau keikikane, mailoko aku o kona puhaka, no ka mea, ua nui loa kana poe wahine.
31 And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
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.
32 And 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.
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.
33 And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baalberith their god.
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.
34 And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:
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.
35 Neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had showed unto Israel.
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.
