Lunakanawai 19
1 I A manawa, aohe alii ma ka Iseraela, a e noho ana kekahi Levi ma kekahi aoao o ka mauna o Eperaima, lawe ia i haiawahine nana, noloko mai o Betelehemaiuda.
In those days, when there was no king in Israel, there was a certain Levite living on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a concubine out of Bethlehem Judah.
2 Moe kolohe ku e mai la kana haiawahine ia ia, a hele aku, mai ona aku la, a i ka hale o kona makuakane, ma Betelehemaiuda, a malaila no ia i na malama eha.
His concubine played the prostitute against him, and went away from him to her father’s house to Bethlehem Judah, and was there for four months.
3 Ku ae la kana kane a hahai aku la ia ia, e olelo lokomaikai aku ia ia, a e hoihoi mai ia ia. Me ia pu no kana kauwa, a me na hoki elua. Hookomo aku la oia ia ia i ka hale o kona makuakane. A ike mai la ka makuakane o ua wahine la ia ia, olioli iho la oia, i ka halawai ana me ia.
Her husband arose and went after her to speak kindly to her, to bring her again, having his servant with him and a couple of donkeys. She brought him into her father’s house; and when the father of the young lady saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
4 Kaohi ae la kona makuahonowaikane ia ia, o ka makuakane hoi o ua wahine la; a noho pu iho la oia me ia, i na la ekolu; a ai uo lakou, a inu, a moe iho la malaila.
His father-in-law, the young lady’s father, kept him there; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank, and stayed there.
5 A hiki i ka ha o ka la, i ko lakou ala ana i kakahiaka nui, ku mai la ia e hele. I mai la ka makuakane o ka wahine i kana hunonakane, E hooluolu i kou naau me kahi berena iki, a mahope iho, e hele aku olua.
On the fourth day, they got up early in the morning, and he rose up to depart. The young lady’s father said to his son-in-law, “Strengthen your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward you shall go your way.”
6 Noho no laua, ai iho la, a inu pu hoi laua; no ka mea, ua olelo mai ka makuakane o ua wahine la i kela kanaka, E lealea mai oe i ka noho i keia po, a e hooluolu i kou naau.
So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together. Then the young lady’s father said to the man, “Please be pleased to stay all night, and let your heart be merry.”
7 A i ke ala ana o ke kanaka e hele, koi mai la kona makuahonowaikane ia ia; nolaila, noho iho la ia ia po.
The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.
8 I ka lima o ka la, ala ae la ia i kakahiaka nui, e hele. I mai la ka makuakane o ka wahine, E hooluolu paha oe i kou naau. Kakali iho la laua a auwi ae ka la, a ai iho la laua.
He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young lady’s father said, “Please strengthen your heart and stay until the day declines;” and they both ate.
9 A i ke ku ana o ke kanaka e hele, oia a me kana wahine, a me kana kauwa, alaila, olelo mai kona makuahonowaikane ia ia, o ka makuakane hoi o ua wahine la, Aia hoi, ua auwi ae ka la, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e noho hou i keia po, kokoke po ka la, ea, e moe maanei i lealea kou naau; a apopo e hele oe i kakahiaka nui, a hoi aku i kou halelewa.
When the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father-in-law, the young lady’s father, said to him, “Behold, now the day draws towards evening, please stay all night. Behold, the day is ending. Stay here, that your heart may be merry; and tomorrow go on your way early, that you may go home.”
10 Aole i ae mai ua kanaka la e moe ia po, aka, ku ae la ia a hele aku la, a hiki ma ke ala o Iebusa, oia hoi o Ierusalema; aia no me ia pu na hoki elua, i paa i na noho lio, a o kana wahine kekahi me ia.
But the man wouldn’t stay that night, but he rose up and went near Jebus (also called Jerusalem). With him were a couple of saddled donkeys. His concubine also was with him.
11 A kokoke lakou i Iebusa, ua auwi loa ka la, i ae la ke kauwa i kona haku, E kipa ae kakou i keia kulanakauhale o ko Iebusa, a moe ilaila.
When they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, “Please come and let’s enter into this city of the Jebusites, and stay in it.”
12 I mai la kona haku ia ia, Aole kakou e kipa ae ilaila, i ke kulanakauhale o kanaka e, aole no na mamo a Iseraela; e hele aku kakou, a Gibea.
His master said to him, “We won’t enter into the city of a foreigner that is not of the children of Israel; but we will pass over to Gibeah.”
13 I mai la ia i kana kauwa, Ea, e hele aku kakou e moe i ka po ma Gibea, a i Rama paha.
He said to his servant, “Come and let’s draw near to one of these places; and we will lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah.”
14 Hele aku la lakou i ko lakou wahi i hele ai; a ua po ka la ia lakou ma Gibea no Beniamina.
So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
15 Kipa ae la lakou e komo ilaila, e moe ai ma Gibea; a hiki aku la ia, noho iho la ma ke alanui o ke kulanakauhale; no ka mea, aohe kanaka nana lakou i hookipa i kona hale e moe ai.
They went over there, to go in to stay in Gibeah. He went in, and sat down in the street of the city; for there was no one who took them into his house to stay.
16 Aia hoi i ke ahiahi, hele mai kekahi kanaka elemakule, mai kana hana, mai ke kula mai, he kanaka no ka mauna o Eperaima, a noho iho la ma Gibea. Aka, no Beniamina na kanaka o ia wahi.
Behold, an old man came from his work out of the field at evening. Now the man was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he lived in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
17 Alawa ae la kona mau maka iluna, ike iho la i ke kanaka, he malihini ma ke alanui o ke kulanakauhale. I ae la ua kanaka elemakule nei, E hele ana oe ihea? a mai hea mai oe i hele mai ai?
He lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the street of the city; and the old man said, “Where are you going? Where did you come from?”
18 I mai la kela ia ia, E hele ana makou mai Betelehemaiuda a i na mokuna o ka mauna o Eperaima, nolaila hoi au, a hele aku au i Betelehemaiuda; a ke hoi aku nei au i ka hale o Iehova, aole hoi kanaka nana wau i hookipa ae i ka hale.
He said to him, “We are passing from Bethlehem Judah to the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem Judah. I am going to the LORD’s house; and there is no one who has taken me into his house.
19 He mauu no, a me ka ai na na hoki a makou, a he berena no a me ka waina na'u, a na kau kauwawahine, a na ke kanaka hou o kau mau kauwa nei; aohe mea e hemahema ai.
Yet there is both straw and feed for our donkeys; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your servant, and for the young man who is with your servants. There is no lack of anything.”
20 I ae la ke kanaka elemakule, Aloha oe, aka, maluna o'u kou nele a pau; mai moe hoi ma ke alanui.
The old man said, “Peace be to you! Just let me supply all your needs, but don’t sleep in the street.”
21 Hookomo iho la oia ia ia i kona hale, hanai iho la i na hoki; a holoi no hoi lakou i ko lakou wawae, ai iho la, a inu hoi.
So he brought him into his house, and gave the donkeys fodder. Then they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
22 A i ko lakou hoolealea ana i ko lakou naau, aia hoi na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale, he poe kanaka hewa, hoopuni mai la lakou i ka hale, a kikeke i ka puka, olelo mai i ka mea hale, i ua kanaka elemakule nei, i mai la, E lawe mai iwaho nei i ke kanaka i hele mai i kou hale, i ike makou ia ia.
As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain wicked fellows, surrounded the house, beating at the door; and they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, “Bring out the man who came into your house, that we can have sex with him!”
23 A o ke kanaka, ka haku o ka hale, hele aku la ia iwaho io lakou la, i aku la ia lakou, Ua oki, e na hoahanau, mai hana hewa oukou pela. Ua hele mai keia kanaka i ko'u hale, mai hana hoi oukou i keia mea lapuwale.
The man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, “No, my brothers, please don’t act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house, don’t do this folly.
24 Eia hoi ka'u kaikamahine, he puupaa, a me kana wahine no hoi, o laua ka'u e lawe mai iwaho nei, e hoohaahaa oukou ia laua, a e hana hoi ia laua i ka mea i pono i ko oukou mau maka; aka, mai hana ia mea lapuwale i keia kanaka.
Behold, here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. I will bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them what seems good to you; but to this man don’t do any such folly.”
25 Aole hoolohe ia poe kanaka ia ia, Nolaila, lalau iho la ke kanaka i kana haiawahine, a lawe ia ia iwaho io lakou la, a ike mai la lakou ia ia, a hana ino lakou ia ia ia po a pau, a kakahiaka; a i ke ao ana ae, kuu mai la ia ia.
But the men wouldn’t listen to him; so the man grabbed his concubine, and brought her out to them; and they had sex with her, and abused her all night until the morning. When the day began to dawn, they let her go.
26 I ka puka ana o ka malamalama, hele mai ua wahine la, a hina iho la ma ka puka o ka hale o ua kanaka la, ma kahi a kona haku, a malamalama ae la.
Then the woman came in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, until it was light.
27 Ala mai la kona haku i kakahiaka, a wehe ae la i ka puka o ka hale, a puka aku e hele ma kona ala; aia hoi, ua hina ka wahine ana ma ka puka o ka hale, aia hoi kona mau lima iluna o ka paepae.
Her lord rose up in the morning and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and behold, the woman his concubine had fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
28 I aku la keia ia ia, E ala mai, e hele kaua. Aohe mea pane mai, Alaila, hapai ae la ua kanaka la ia ia, a kau iho la iluna o ka hoki Ku ae la ke kanaka a hoi aku la i kona wahi.
He said to her, “Get up, and let’s get going!” but no one answered. Then he took her up on the donkey; and the man rose up, and went to his place.
29 A hiki aku la ia i kona hale, lawe ae la ia i ka pahi, a lalau aku la i kana haiawahine, a okioki iho la ia ia, a me kona mau iwi, i umikumamalua apana, a hoouna aku la ia mea, i na mokuna a pau o ka Iseraela.
When he had come into his house, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel.
30 Eia hoi, o ka poe a pau i ike ia mea, i ae la lakou, Aohe mea i hanaia e like me neia, aole hoi i ikeia, mai ka la i hele mai ai na mamo a Iseraela, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, a hiki mai i neia la. E noonoo oukou ia mea, a e kukakuka iho, a e olelo mai.
It was so, that all who saw it said, “Such a deed has not been done or seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt to this day! Consider it, take counsel, and speak.”
