I Samuela 13

1 HOOKAHI makahiki o ko Saula alii ana: a pau na makahiki elua o kona alii ana,

Saul was ruling for less than a year, when he ruled during year two over Israel,

2 Wae aku la o Saula nona i ekolu tausani kanaka o ka Iseraela; elua tausaui me Saula ma Mikemasa, a ma ka mauna o Betela, a hookahi tausani me Ionatana ma Gibea o Beniamina; a hoihoi aku la ia i na kanaka i koe i ko lakou halelewa iho.

that Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. And the rest of the people he sent away, each to his own home.

3 A luku aku la o Ionatana i ka poe koa o ko Pilisetia ma Geba; a lohe ko Pilisetia, A puhi aku la o Saula i ka pu ma ka aina a pau, i ka i ana'e, E hoolohe ka poe Hebera.

Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba: and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear."

4 A lohe ae la ka Iseraela a pau i ka mea i oleloia mai, ua pepehi o Saula i ka poe koa o ko Pilisetia, a ua hoowahawahaia o ka Iseraela e ko Pilisetia. A ua houluuluia na kanaka mahope o Saula ma Gilegala.

All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel has become repulsive to the Philistines. Then the people were summoned to Saul at Gilgal.

5 Hoakoakoa ae la ko Pilisetia e kaua aku i ka Iseraela, he kanakolu tausani halekaa, eono tausani hoohololio, a me na kanaka e like me ke one ma kahakai he nui loa; a hele mai lakou, a hoomoana ma Mikemasa, ma ka hikina o Betavena.

The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, and brought up against Israel three thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude: and they came up, and camped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.

6 A ike aku la na kanaka o ka Iseraela i ko lakou popilikia, (no ka mea, ua pilikia na kanaka, ) pee aku la na kanaka iloko o na ana, a maloko o na laau kuku, a ma na pohaku, a me na wahi kiekie, a maloko o na lua.

When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in coverts, and in pits.

7 A o kekahi poe Hebera hele aku la ma kela aoao o Ioredane ma ka aina o Gada, a o Gileada: a ma Gilegala o Saula, a haalulu na kanaka mamuli ona.

Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.

8 Noho iho la ia i na la ehiku e like me ka manawa a Samuela i olelo ai: aole i hiki mai o Samuela ma Gilegala; a ua hele liilii na kanaka mai ona aku la.

And he stayed seven days, according to the time that Samuel had said. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people began to abandon him.

9 Olelo aku la o Saula, E lawe mai ia'u i mohaikuni, a me na mohai hoomalu. Kaumaha aku la ia i ka mohaikuni.

Saul said, "Bring here the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings." He offered the burnt offering.

10 A i ka manawa i pau ai kana kaumaha ana aku i ka mohaikuni, aia hoi, hiki mai la o Samuela; hele aku la o Saula e halawai me ia, e hoomaikai aku ia ia.

It came to pass that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, look, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.

11 Ninau aku la o Samuela, Heaha kau i hana'i? I mai la o Saula, No ka'u ike ana i na kanaka e hele liilii ana mai o'u aku nei, a no kou hiki ole mai i na la i oleloia'i, a no ka hoakoakoa ana o ko Pilisetia ma Mikemasa;

Samuel said, "What have you done?" Saul said, "Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;

12 Nolaila, i iho la au, e iho mai auanei ko Pilisetia maluna o'u ma Gilegala, aole au i noi aku ia Iehova: no ia mea, hooikaika iho la au ia'u iho, a kaumaha aku la i ka mohaikuni.

therefore I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven't entreated the favor of YHWH.' I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering."

13 Olelo aku la o Samuela ia Saula, Ua hana naaupo oe, aole oe i malama i ke kauoha a Iehova kou Akua, ana i kauoha mai ai ia oe; i hookupaa mau loa ai o Iehova i kou aupuni maluna o ka Iseraela.

Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of YHWH your God, which he commanded you; for now YHWH would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.

14 Ano hoi, aole e mau ana kou aupuni; ua imi mai o Iehova i kanaka nona e like me kona naau iho, a ua hoonoho mai o Iehova ia ia i luna no kona poe kanaka, no kou malama ole i ka mea a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia oe.

But now your kingdom shall not continue. YHWH has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and YHWH has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which YHWH commanded you."

15 Ku ae la o Samuela, a pii aku la mai Gilegala aku a i Gibea o Beniamina. A helu aku la o Saula i na kanaka me ia, aono paha haneri kanaka.

And Samuel arose and departed from Gilgal, and the rest of the people went up after Saul to meet him after the men of war, when they had come up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.

16 A o Saula a me Ionatana kana keiki, a o na kanaka me laua, noho iho la ma Gibea o Beniamina: aka, hoomoana iho la ko Pilisetia ma Mikemasa.

Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines camped in Michmash.

17 Hele mai la ka poe luku, mai ka poe koa o ko Pilisetia mai, ekolu poe: huli ae la kekahi poe ma ke ala o Opera ma ka aina o Suala.

The spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;

18 Huli ae la kekahi poe ma ke ala o Betahorona; a huli ae kekahi poe ma ke ala o ka mokuna e ku pono ana i ke awawa o Zeboima, ma ka waonahele.

and another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.

19 Aole no i loaa ka amara ma ka aina a pau o ka Iseraela; no ka mea, i ae la ko Pilisetia, O hana auanei ka poe Hebera i ka pahikaua, a i ka ihe paha na lakou.

Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines had said, "Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears."

20 Aka, hele no ka Iseraela a pau i ko Pilisetia e hana'i i kana oopalau, a me kana ho, a me kana koilipi, a me kana oo.

But all Israel would go down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, mattock, axe, and sickle;

21 He apuapu nae ia lakou no ka oopalau, a no na ho, a no na o manamana, a no na koilipi, a no ka hookala i na kui.

and the charge was one payim for the plowshares and for the mattocks, and three shekels for picks and axes and to set the goads.

22 A i ka la i kaua ai, aole he pahikaua, aole hoi he ihe ma ka lima o na kanaka me Saula, a me Ionatana: aka, ua loaa ia Saula a me Ionatana kana keiki.

So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and his son Jonathan had them.

23 A hele aku la ka poe koa o ko Pilisetia i ke ala ololi o Mikemasa.

The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
