< 2 Samuel 12 >

1 Then the LORD sent Nathan to David, and when he arrived, he said, “There were two men in a certain city, one rich and the other poor.
HOOUNA mai la o Iehova ia Natana io Davida la: hele mai la ia io na la, i mai la ia ia, Elua mau kanaka ma kekahi kulanakauhale; ua waiwai kekahi, a ua ilihune kekahi.
2 The rich man had a great number of sheep and cattle,
He nui loa hoi na ohana hipa a me na ohana bipi a ke kanaka waiwai:
3 but the poor man had nothing except one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food and drank from his cup; it slept in his arms and was like a daughter to him.
Aka, na ke kanaka ilihune, hookahi wale no keikihipa wahine uuku ana i kuai ai a hanai iho ai: noho pu iho la ia me ia a me na keiki ana; ai iho la ia i kana ai, a inu hoi ma kona kiaha, a moe iho la ia ma kona poli, a me he kaikamahine la ia nana.
4 Now a traveler came to the rich man, who refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for his guest.”
A hele mai la he kanaka hele i ua kanaka waiwai la, a aua iho la ia ke lawe i ko kana ohana hipa a me kana ohana bipi e kalua na ua kanaka la i hele mai io na la; aka, kii aku la ia i ke keikihipa a ke kanaka ilihune, a kalua iho la na ke kanaka i hele mai io na la.
5 David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan: “As surely as the LORD lives, the man who did this deserves to die!
Huhu loa aku la o Davida i ua kanaka la; i aku la oia ia Natana, Ma ke ola ana o Iehova, he oiaio no e make ke kanaka nana i hana ia mea.
6 Because he has done this thing and has shown no pity, he must pay for the lamb four times over.”
A e hoihoi pa-ha aku ia i ke keikihipa, no ka hana ana ia mea, a no ka mea, aohe ona aloha.
7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are that man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.
I aku la o Natana ia Davida, O oe no ia kanaka: Penei ka Iehova ke Akua no ka Iseraela i olelo mai ai, Ua poni aku no au ia oe i alii raaluna o ka Iseraela, a ua hoopakele hoi au ia oe i ka lima o Saula:
8 I gave your master’s house to you and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and if that was not enough, I would have given you even more.
A haawi aku la au i ka hale o kou haku nou, a me na wahine a kou haku iloko o kou poli, a haawi aku la hoi au i ka ohana o ka Iseraela a me ka Iuda nou: a ina he uuku keia mau mea, alaila e haawi aku hoi au nau, i kela mau mea, a i keia mau mea.
9 Why then have you despised the command of the LORD by doing evil in His sight? You put Uriah the Hittite to the sword and took his wife as your own, for you have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites.
Heaha hoi kau i hoowahawaha ai i ke kanawai o Iehova, e hana i ka hewa imua o kona maka? Ua pepehi ae oe ia Uria ka Heta me ka pahikaua, a ua lawe oe i kana wahine i wahine nau; a ua pepehi i ke kane me ka pahikaua a ka poe mamo a Amona.
10 Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’
No ia mea hoi, aole loa e kaawale aku ka pahikaua mai kou ohana aku; no ka mea, ua hoowahawaha mai oe ia'u, a ua lawe oe i ka wahine a Uria ka Heta i wahine nau.
11 This is what the LORD says: ‘I will raise up adversity against you from your own house. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to another, and he will lie with them in broad daylight.
Penei ka Iehova i olelo mai ai, Eia hoi, e hoala auanei au i ka ino ku e ia oe maloko o kou hale, a e lawe au i kau mau wahine imua o kou maka, a e haawi aku ia lakou na kou hoalauna, a e moe ia me kau mau wahine imua o keia la.
12 You have acted in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.’”
No ka mea, ua hana malu oe i kau; aka, e hana au i keia mea imua o ka Iseraela a pau, a imua hoi o ka la.
13 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” “The LORD has taken away your sin,” Nathan replied. “You will not die.
I aku la o Davida ia Natana, Ua hana hewa wau ia Iehova. I mai la o Natana ia Davida, Ua kala aku hoi o Iehova i kou hewa; aole oe e make.
14 Nevertheless, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for the word of the LORD, the son born to you will surely die.”
Aka, no ka mea, ma keia hana ana au, ua loaa i ka poe enemi o Iehova ke kumu e olelo hoino ai, he oiaio no e make ke keiki i hanau mai nau.
15 After Nathan had gone home, the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill.
Hoi aku la o Natana i kona hale. Hahau mai la o Iehova i ke keiki a ka wahine a Uria i hanau mai ai na Davida, a mai nui iho la ia.
16 David pleaded with God for the boy. He fasted and went into his house and spent the night lying in sackcloth on the ground.
Nolaila, nonoi aku la o Davida i ke Akua no ke keiki: hookeai iho la o Davida, komo aku la, a moe iho la ma ka honua a ao ka po.
17 The elders of his household stood beside him to help him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat anything with them.
Ku ae la na lunakahiko o kona hale, hele aku la io na la e hoala ia ia mai ka honua ae: aole ia i ae aku, aole hoi i ai i ka ai me lakou.
18 On the seventh day the child died. But David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Look, while the child was alive, we spoke to him, and he would not listen to us. So how can we tell him the child is dead? He may even harm himself.”
A i ka hiku o ka la, make iho la ke keiki. Makau iho la na kauwa a Davida e hai aku ia ia, ua make ke keiki; i ae la lakou, Aia i ke ola ana o ke keiki, olelo aku la kakou ia ia, aole ia i hoolohe mai i ko kakou leo: he oiaio no, e hana eha oia ia ia iho, ke hai aku kakou ia ia, ua make ke keiki.
19 When David saw that his servants were whispering to one another, he perceived that the child was dead. So he asked his servants, “Is the child dead?” “He is dead,” they replied.
A ike ae la o Davida i ka hamumumu a na kauwa ana, ike iho la o Davida, ua make ke keiki: nolaila i aku la o Davida i kana mau kauwa, Ua make anei ke keiki? I mai la lakou, Ua make.
20 Then David got up from the ground, washed and anointed himself, changed his clothes, and went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and at his request they set food before him, and he ate.
Alaila, ku ae la o Davida mai ka honua aku, auau iho la, a hamo iho la i ka aila, aahu iho la ia ia i ka lole hou, hele aku la i ka hale o Iehova, a hoomana aku la. Alaila hoi mai la ia i kona hale: a kena aku la ia, a kau mai la lakou i ka ai imua ona, a ai iho la ia.
21 “What is this you have done?” his servants asked. “While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, but when he died, you got up and ate.”
Alaila, i aku la kana mau kauwa ia ia. Heaha keia au i hana iho nei? hookeai iho la oe me ka uwe i ke keiki i kona wa e ola ana; a make iho ke keiki, ua ala ae oe a ai iho i ka ai.
22 David answered, “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, ‘Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let him live.’
I mai la kela, A e ola ana ke keiki, hookeai iho la au me ka uwe: i iho la au, Malama paha e aloha mai ke Akua ia'u i ola ke keiki.
23 But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
Ano hoi, ua make ia: no ke aha hoi au e hookeai ai? E hiki anei ia'u ke hoihoi mai ia ia? Owau ke hele aku io na la, aka, aole ia e hoi hou mai io'u nei.
24 Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and he went to her and lay with her. So she gave birth to a son, and they named him Solomon. Now the LORD loved the child
Hooluolu aku la o Davida ia Bateseba i kana wahine; komo aku la ia iloko io na la, a moe me ia: a hanau mai la ia i keikikane, a kapa aku la kela i kona inoa, o Solomona; a aloha mai la o Iehova ia ia.
25 and sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah because the LORD loved him.
Hoouna mai la ia i ke kaula ia Natana, a kapa mai la ia i kona inoa o Iedidia, no Iehova.
26 Meanwhile, Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites and captured the royal fortress.
Kaua aku la o Ioaba ia Raba o na mamo a Amona, a hoopio mai la i ke kulanakauhale alii.
27 Then Joab sent messengers to David to say, “I have fought against Rabbah and have captured the water supply of the city.
Hoouna mai la o Ioaba i na elele io Davida la, i mai la, E, ua kana aku no wau ia Raba, a ua hoopio iho i ke kulanakauhale wai.
28 Now, therefore, assemble the rest of the troops, lay siege to the city, and capture it. Otherwise I will capture the city, and it will be named after me.”
Ano hoi, e hoakoakoa pu mai oe i na kanaka e koe, e kaua aku i ke kulanakauhale, a e hoopio ia wahi; o pio auanei ke kulanakauhale ia'u, a e kaheaia ko'u inoa maluna ona.
29 So David assembled all the troops and went to Rabbah; and he fought against it and captured it.
Hoakoakoa pu ae la o Davida i na kanaka a pau, a hele aku la i Raba, kaua aku la ia, a hoopio iho la ia wahi.
30 Then he took the crown from the head of their king. It weighed a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city.
Lawe ae la hoi ia i ka papale o ko lakou alii, mailuna o kona poo, ma ke kaupaona ana, he talena gula ia, me na pohaku makamae, a ua kauia maluna o ke poo o Davida. A lawe mai la ia i ka waiwai pio o ke kulanakauhale he nui loa.
31 David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes, and he made them work at the brick kilns. He did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.
Lawe ae la hoi oia i na kanaka maloko, a kau iho la ia lakou malalo o na pahiolo, a malalo o na mea hao oioi, a malalo hoi o na koilipi hao, a hoohele aku la hoi ia lakou mawaena o ka umu pohakuula: pela ia i hana aku ai i na kulanakauhale a pau i na mamo a Amona. A hoi aku la o Davida a me na kanaka a pau i Ierusalema.
