I Samuela 4

1 A HIKI ae la ka olelo a Samuela i ka Iseraela a pau. Hele ku e aku la ka Iseraela i ko Pilisetia i ke kaua, a hoomoana iho la ma Ebenezera; a o ko Pilisetia hoomoana iho la ma Apeka.

And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered themselves together against Israel to war; and Israel went out to meet them and encamped at Abenezer, and the Philistines encamped in Aphec.

2 Hoomakaukau iho ko Pilisetia ia lakou iho e ku e i ka Iseraela; a hoouka iho la, a ua lukuia o ka Iseraela imua o ko Pilisetia; a eha tausani kanaka paha i lukuia i ke kaua ana ma ke kula.

And the Philistines prepare to fight with Israel, and the battle was turned against them; and the men of Israel fell before the Philistines, and there were struck in the battle in the field four thousand men.

3 A hiki mai la na kanaka i kahi i hoomoana'i, i ae la na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, No ke aha la o Iehova i luku mai ai ia kakou i keia la imua o ko Pilisetia? E lawe mai io kakou nei i ka pahuberita o Iehova mai Silo mai, a hiki mai ia iwaena o kakou, oia ka mea e hoola ia kakou mai ka lima mai o ko kakou poe enemi.

And the people came to the camp, and the elders of Israel said, Why has the Lord caused us to fall this day before the Philistines? let us take the ark of our God out of Selom, and let it proceed from the midst of us, and it shall save us from the hand of our enemies.

4 Hoouna aku la na kanaka ma Silo e lawe mai mailaila mai i ka pahuberita o Iehova sabaota, e waiho ana mawaena o na kerubima: ilaila na keiki elua a Eli, o Hopeni a me Pinehasa me ka pahuberita o ke Akua.

And the people sent to Selom, and they take thence the ark of the Lord who dwells between the cherubs: and both the sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, [were] with the ark.

5 A hiki mai la ka pahuberita o Iehova iloko o kahi i hoomoana'i, hooho ae la ka Iseraela a pau me ka hooho nui, a haalulu ka honua.

And it came to pass when the ark of the Lord entered into the camp, that all Israel cried out with a loud voice, and the earth resounded.

6 A lohe ae la ko Pilisetia i ka leo o ka hooho ana, i ae la lakou, No ke aha la ka leo o keia hooho nui ana ma kahi i hoomoana'i ka poe Hebera? A ike lakou, ua hiki mai ka pahu o Iehova ma kahi i hoomoana'i.

And the Philistines heard the cry, and the Philistines said, What [is] this great cry in the camp of the Hebrews: and they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.

7 Makau iho la ko Pilisetia, no ka mea, i iho la lakou, Ua hiki mai ke Akua iloko o kahi i hoomoana'i. I ae la lakou, Auwe kakou! no ka mea, aohe mea mamua e like ai me keia.

And the Philistines feared, and said, These are the Gods that are come to them into the camp.

8 Auwe kakou! owai la ka mea nana kakou e hoola mai ka lima mai o keia mau Akua mana? o na Akua keia i luku ai i ka poe o Aigupita i ua ino a pau ma ka waonahele.

Woe to us, O Lord, deliver us today for such a thing has not happened aforetime: woe to us, who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these [are] the Gods that struck Egypt with every plague, and in the wilderness.

9 E ikaika oukou, e hookanaka hoi, e ko Pilisetia, i lilo ole ai oukou i kauwa na ka poe Hebera, e like me lakou na oukou: e hookanaka e kaua aku.

Strengthen yourselves and behave yourselves like men, O you Philistines, that you may not serve the Hebrews as they have served us, but be you men and fight with them.

10 A kaua aku la ko Pilisetia, a lukuia o ka Iseraela, a holo kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona halelewa; a he nui loa na mea i make, no ka mea, haule iho la o ka Iseraela, he kanakolu tausani koa hele wawae.

And they fought with them; and the men of Israel fall, and they fled every man to his ten; and there was a very great slaughter; and there fell of Israel thirty thousand fighting men.

11 A ua haoia ka pahu o ke Akua; a make na keiki elua a Eli, o Hopeni a o Pinehasa.

And the ark of God was taken, and both the sons of Heli, Ophni, and Phinees, died.

12 Holo aku la kekahi kanaka no Beniamina mai ke kaua aku, a hiki ma Silo ia la hookahi, me kona kapa i haehaeia, a me ka lepo maluna o kona poo.

And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the battle, and he came to Selom on that day: and his clothes [were] tore, and earth [was] upon his head.

13 A hiki aku la ia, aia hoi, e noho ana o Eli maluna o ka noho ma kapa alanui, e kiai ana: no ka mea, pihoihoi kona naau no ka pahu o ke Akua. A hiki aku la ke kanaka ma ke kulanakauhale, a hai aku, auwe nui iho la ko ke kulanakauhale a pau.

And he came, an behold, Heli was upon the seat by the gate looking along the way, for his heart was greatly alarmed for the ark of God: and the man entered into the city to bring tidings; and the city cried out.

14 A lohe ae la o Eli i ka leo o ka uwe ana, i iho la ia, No ke aha la ka leo o keia haunaele? A hele koke mai ke kanaka, a hai ia Eli.

And Heli heard the sound of the cry, and said, What [is] the voice of this cry? and the men hasted and went in, and reported to Heli.

15 He kanaiwakumamawalu ko Eli mau makahiki, ua ku paa kona mau maka, aole ia i ike.

Now Heli [was] ninety years old, and his eyes were fixed, and he saw not.

16 I mai la ke kanaka ia Eli, Owau no ka mea i hele mai, mai ke kaua mai, i keia la wau i holo mai nei mai ke kaua mai. Ninau aku la ia, Heaha ka olelo, e kuu keiki?

And Heli said to them that stood round about him, What [is] the voice of this sound? And the man hasted and advanced to Heli, and said to him, I am he that is come out of the camp, and I have fled from the battle today: and Heli said, What [is] the even, [my] son?

17 Olelo mai la ka elele, i mai la, Ua hee ka Iseraela imua o ko Pilisetia: a ua nui loa ka poe kanaka i pepehiia; a o kau mau keiki elua, o Hopeni a o Pinehasa, ua make laua, a ua haoia ka pahu o ke Akua.

And they young man answered and said, The men of Israel fled from the face of the Philistines, and there was a great slaughter among the people, and both your sons are dead, and the ark of God is taken.

18 A i kona hai ana mai i ka pahu o ke Akua, haule iho la o Eli mahope o kona noho ma ka aoao o ka ipuka, a hai kona a-i, a make iho la ia; no ka mea, he kanaka elemakule ia, ua kaumaha hoi. A ua hooponopono aku ia i ka Iseraela i na makahiki he kanaha.

And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from the seat backward near the gate, and his back was broken, and he died, for [he was] an old man and heavy: and he judged Israel twenty years.

19 A o kona hunonawahine, ka wahine a Pinehasa, ua hapai, kokoke no i puni: a lohe ae la oia ia mea, i ka lilo ana o ka pahu o ke Akua, i ka make ana o kona makuahonoaikane a me kaua kane hoi, kulou iho la ia, no ka hanau ana; no ka mea, ua hiki mai kona nahunahu ia ia.

And his daughter-in-law the wife of Phinees [was] with child, [about] to bring forth; and she heard the tidings, that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead; and she wept and was delivered, for her pains came upon her.

20 A kokoke ia e make, i aku la na wahine e ku ana ia ia, Mai makau oe, no ka mea, ua hoohanau oe i keikikane. Aole ia i ekemu mai, aole hoi ia i maliu mai.

And in her time she was at the point of death; and the women that stood by her, said to her, Fear not, for you have born a son: but she answered not, and her heart did not regard it.

21 A kapa aku la ia i ka inoa o ke keiki o Ikaboda, i aku la, Ua hala aku la ka nani mai ka Iseraela aku; no ka pahu o ke Akua i laweia'ku, a no kona makuahonoaikane, a no kana kane.

And she called the child Uaebarchaboth, because of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law, and because of her husband.

22 I aku la ia, Ua hala aku la ka nani mai ka Iseraela aku: no ka mea, ua haoia ka pahu o ke Akua.

And they said, The glory of Israel is departed, forasmuch as the ark of the Lord is taken.
