II Oihanaalii 10
1 HELE aku la o Rhoboama i Sekema, no ka mea, ua hiki mai ka Iseraela a pau i Sekema e hoonoho ia ia i alii.
And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem had all Israel come to make him king.
2 Lohe ae la o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, e noho ana ia ma Aigupita kahi ana i mahuka aku ai mai ke alo aku o Solomona ke alii, a hoi mai o Ieroboama mai Aigupita mai.
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who [was] in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard [it], that Jeroboam returned from Egypt.
3 A hoouna aku la lakou a kahea aku ia ia; a hele mai o Ieroboama a me ka Iseraela a pau, a olelo mai la lakou ia Rehoboama, i mai la,
And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
4 Ua hookaumaha kou makuakane i ka makou auamo, ano hoi, e hoomama iki i ka hana hooluhi a kou makuakane, a me ka auamo kaumaha ana i kau mai ai maluna o makou, a e hookauwa aku makou nau.
Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
5 Olelo aku la oia ia lakou, A hala na la ekolu, e hoi hou mai oukou i o'u nei. A hele aku la na kanaka.
And he said to them, Come again to me after three days. And the people departed.
6 A ahaolelo pu iho la o Rehoboama ke alii me ka poe elemakule, ka poe i ku imua o Solomona, kona makuakane i ka wa o kona ola ana, i aku la, Heaha ka oukou e manao ai i mea e hai aku i keia poe kanaka?
And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye [me] to return answer to this people?
7 Olelo lakou ia ia, i mai la, Ina e noho oe i mea e pono ai keia poe kanaka, a e hooluolu aku, a olelo i na mea maikai ia lakou, alaila, e noho mau lakou i poe kauwa nau.
And they spoke to him, saying, If thou wilt be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
8 Aka, haalele ae la ia i ka oleloao a ka poe elemakule, ka mea a lakou i ao mai ai, a ahaolelo pu iho la me ka poe kanaka ui, ka poe i noho pu me ia a nui, a e ku ana hoi imua ona.
But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
9 I aku la oia ia lakou, Heaha ko oukou manao i mea e olelo aku ai kakou i keia poe kanaka, ka poe i olelo mai ia'u, me ka i ana mai, E hoomama iki i ka auamo a kou makua i kau mai ai maluna o makou.
And he said to them, What advice give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father put upon us?
10 Olelo mai la ka poe kanaka ui, ka poe i noho pu me ia a nui, i mai la, Penei kau e olelo aku ai i ka poe kanaka i olelo mai ia oe, i mai ana, Ua hookaumaha kou makuakane i ka makou auamo, ano hoi e hoomama iki i ka makou auamo; penei oe e olelo aku ai ia lakou, E oi aku ka manoanoa o ko'u manamana lima iki i ka puhaka o ko'u makuakane.
And the young men that were brought up with him, spoke to him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spoke to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou [it] somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say to them, My little [finger] shall be thicker than my father's loins.
11 Ua kau mai la ko'u makuakane i auamo kaumaha maluna o oukou, aka hoi, e hoonui au i ka oukou auamo; ua hahau mai ko'u makuakane ia oukou i ka huipa, aka hoi, e hahau au ia oukou i na moohueloawa.
For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
12 A hoi mai o Ieroboama a me ka poe kanaka a pau io Rehoboama la i ka po akolu, e like me ka ke alii i olelo aku ai, E hoi mai oukou io'u nei i ke kolu o ka la.
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king directed, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
13 Olelo kalaea aku la ke alii ia lakou; haalele ke alii o Rehoboama i ka oleloao a ka poe elemakule;
And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14 A olelo aku la ia lakou e like me ka oleloao a ka poe kanaka ui, i aku la, Ua hookaumaha ko'u makua i ka oukou auamo, aka, e hoonui au ia mea; ua hahau ko'u makuakane ia oukou i ka huipa, aka, owau hoi e hahau ia oukou i na moohueloawa.
And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
15 Pela i hoolohe ole aku ai ke alii i na kanaka; no ka mea, no ke Akua mai keia i hooko ai o Iehova i ka olelo ana i olelo mai ai ma o Ahiia la no Silo ia Ieroboama i ke keiki a Nebata.
So the king hearkened not to the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 A ike ae la ka Iseraela a pau, aole i hoolohe ke alii ia lakou, olelo na kanaka i ke alii, i mai la, Heaha ko makou kuleana iloko o Davida? aohe o makou hooilina iloko o ke keiki a Iese; e hoi no kela kanaka keia kanaka a pau i kona halelewa, e ka Iseraela; ano, e nana oe i kou hale iho, e Davida. Pela i hoi ai ka Iseraela a pau i ko lakou mau halelewa.
And when all Israel [saw] that the king would not hearken to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and [we have] no inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: [and] now, David, see to thy own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
17 A o ka poe mamo a Iseraela e noho ana iloko o na kulanakauhale o Iuda, nohoalii iho la o Rehoboama maluna o lakou.
But [as for] the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Hoouna aku la ke alii o Rehoboama ia Hedorama i ka mea maluna o ka auhau ana, a hailuku na mamo a Iseraela ia ia, a make ia. Alaila, wikiwiki ae la ke alii o Rehoboama e pii maluna o kona hale kaa, a e holo i Ierusalema.
Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that [was] over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get into his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Pela i kipi ai o ka Iseraela i ka ohana a Davida a hiki i keia la.
And Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
