2 Samuel 19
1 Then it was reported to Joab, “The king is weeping and mourning over Absalom.”
U A haiia'ku ia Ioaba, Aia ke uwe nei ke alii, a ke kanikau nei oia no Abesaloma.
2 And that day’s victory was turned into mourning for all the people, because on that day they were told, “The king is grieving over his son.”
Ia la, lilo ae la ke ola i mea e kanikau ai o na kanaka a pau: no ka mea, ua lohe na kanaka ia la, i ka haiia mai o ka uwe ana o ke alii no kana keiki.
3 So they returned to the city quietly that day, as people steal away in humiliation after fleeing a battle.
A hoi malu aku la na kanaka iloko o ke kulanakauhale ia la, e like me na kanaka hilahila e holo malu aku, ke hee lakou i ke kaua.
4 But the king covered his face and cried out at the top of his voice, “O my son Absalom! O Absalom, my son, my son!”
Aka, o ke alii, pulou iho la ia i kona maka, a uwe aku la ke alii me ka leo nui, E kuu keiki e Abesaloma e! e Abesaloma kuu keiki, kuu keiki e!
5 Then Joab went into the house and said to the king, “Today you have disgraced all your servants who have saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters, of your wives, and of your concubines.
Hele aku la o Ioaba iloko o ka hale i ke alii, i aku la, Ua hoohilahila oe i keia la i na maka o kau poe kauwa a pau, o ka poe nana i malama i kou ola, a me ke ola o kau mau keikikane, a me kau mau kaikamahine, a me ke ola o kau mau wahine, a me ke ola o kau mau haiawahine;
6 You love those who hate you and hate those who love you! For you have made it clear today that the commanders and soldiers mean nothing to you. I know today that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead, it would have pleased you!
Ma kou aloha ana aku i kou poe enemi, a me ka hoowahawaha ana i kou poe hoalauna: no ka mea, ua hoike mai oe i keia la, he mea ole ia oe na alii a me na kauwa: a ke ike nei au i keia la, ina paha i ola o Abesaloma, a make makou a pau i keia la, ina ua oluolu io no oe.
7 Now therefore get up! Go out and speak comfort to your servants, for I swear by the LORD that if you do not go out, not a man will remain with you tonight. This will be worse for you than all the adversity that has befallen you from your youth until now!”
Ano hoi, e ala'e oe, e hele iwaho, a e olelo hooluolu aku i kau poe kauwa. Ke hoohiki aku nei au ma o Iehova la, a i hele ole aku oe, aole e noho kekahi me oe i neia po; a e ino loa aku ia mea, i na mea ino a pau i hiki mai iou la mai kou wa opiopio a hiki ia nei.
8 So the king got up and sat in the gate, and all the people were told: “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” So they all came before the king. Meanwhile, the Israelites had fled, each man to his home.
Alaila ala'e la ke alii, a noho iho la ma ka ipuka o ka pa. Hai aku la lakou i na kanaka a panu, Aia hoi, ke noho mai la ke alii ma ka ipuka. A hele mai la na kanaka a pau imua o ke alii; no ka mea, ua mahuka aku la ka Iseraela o kela kanaka keia kanaka a pau i kona halelewa iho.
9 And all the people throughout the tribes of Israel were arguing, “The king rescued us from the hand of our enemies and delivered us from the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled the land because of Absalom.
Hoopaapaa ae la na kanaka a pau ma na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, i ae la, Ua hoola mai ke alii ia kakou mai ka lima ae o ko kakou poe enemi, a ua hoopakele hoi oia ia kakou mai ka lima ae o ko Pilisetia: ano hoi, ua holo aku no ia mawaho o ka aina no Abesaloma.
10 But Absalom, the man we anointed over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about restoring the king?”
A o Abesaloma ka mea a kakou i poni ai i alii maluna o kakou, ua make ia iloko o ke kaua: heaha hoi ka mea e olelo ole aku ai oukou i kekahi huaolelo no ka hoihoi ana mai i ke alii?
11 Then King David sent this message to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests: “Say to the elders of Judah, ‘Why should you be the last to restore the king to his palace, since the talk of all Israel has reached the king at his quarters?
Hoouna aku la o Davida ke alii io Zadoka la a me Abiatara na kahuna, i aku la, E olelo aku olua i na lunakahiko o ka Iuda, e i aku, No ke aha la e lohi loa nei oukou i ka hoihoi ana mai i ke alii i kona hale? no ka mea, ua hiki mai ka olelo a ka Iseraela a pau i ke alii, a i kona ohana.
12 You are my brothers, my own flesh and blood. So why should you be the last to restore the king?’
Oukou no na hoahanau o'u, oukou no ko'u mau iwi a me ko'u io; no ke aha hoi e lohi loa nei oukou i ka hoihoi aku i ke alii?
13 And say to Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my flesh and blood? May God punish me, and ever so severely, if from this time you are not the commander of my army in place of Joab!’”
E i aku hoi olua ia Amasa, Aole anei oe no kuu iwi a me kuu io? Pela ke Akua e hana mai ai ia'u, a nui aku, i ole oe ka lunakaua mau imua o'u ma ko Ioaba wahi.
14 So he swayed the hearts of all the men of Judah as though they were one man, and they sent word to the king: “Return, you and all your servants.”
Hoohuli mai la kela i ka naau o na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda, e like me ko ke kanaka hookahi; nolaila, olelo aku la lakou i ke alii, E hoi hou mai oe a me au mau kauwa a pau.
15 So the king returned, and when he arrived at the Jordan, the men of Judah came to Gilgal to meet him and escort him across the Jordan.
Alaila hoi mai la ke alii, a hiki mai i Ioredane. A hele mai la ka Iuda i Gilegala e halawai me ke alii, a e alakai i ke alii ma keia aoao o Ioredane.
16 Then Shimei son of Gera, a Benjamite from Bahurim, hurried down with the men of Judah to meet King David,
Ao Simei ke keiki a Gera, he mamo na Beniamina no Bahurima, wikiwiki ae la ia a iho pu aku la me na kanaka o ka Iuda e halawai me ke alii me Davida.
17 along with a thousand men of Benjamin, as well as Ziba the steward of the house of Saul and his fifteen sons and twenty servants. They rushed down to the Jordan before the king
Me ia pu na kanaka o ka Beniamina he tausani, a o Ziba ke kauwa na ka ohana a Saula, a me ia hoi na keikikane ana he umikumamalima, a me na kauwa ana he iwakalua: hele mai la lakou ma keia aoao o Ioredane imua o ke alii.
18 and crossed at the ford to carry over the king’s household and to do what was good in his sight. When Shimei son of Gera crossed the Jordan, he fell down before the king
A holo ae la ka waapa e alo mai i ko ka hale o ke alii, a e lawelawe hoi i ka mea a ke alii i manao ai he pono. Moe iho la o Simei ke keiki a Gera imua o ke alii i kona pae ana i keia aoao o Ioredane.
19 and said, “My lord, do not hold me guilty, and do not remember your servant’s wrongdoing on the day my lord the king left Jerusalem. May the king not take it to heart.
I mai la ia i ke alii, mai manao hewa mai kuu haku ia'u, aole hoi e hoomauhala i ka mea a kau kauwa i hana kolohe aku ai i ka la a kuu haku a ke alii i puka mai ai iwaho o Ierusalema, i waiho ai ke alii ia mea maloko o kona naau.
20 For your servant knows that I have sinned, so here I am today as the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king.”
No ka mea, ke ike nei kau kauwa; ua hana hewa no wau: nolaila, eia au i hele mai nei, ka mea mua o ka ohana a Iosepa, i iho mai e halawai me kuu haku me ke alii.
21 But Abishai son of Zeruiah said, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’s anointed?”
Olelo mai la o Abisai ke keiki a Zeruia, i mai la, Aole anei e make o Simei ia mea; no ka mea, ua hoino mai ia i ka Iehova mea i poniia?
22 And David replied, “Sons of Zeruiah, what have I to do with you, that you should be my adversaries today? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? Am I not indeed aware that today I am king over Israel?”
I aku la o Davida, Heaha ka'u ia olua, e na keiki a Zeruia, i ku e mai ai olua ia'u i keia la? E make anei kekahi kanaka i keia la iloko o ka Iseraela? Aole anei au i ike, owau no ke alii i keia la maluna o ka Iseraela?
23 So the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And the king swore an oath to him.
I aku la ke alii ia Simei, Aole oe e make: a hoohiki aku la ke alii ia ia.
24 Then Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson, went down to meet the king. He had not cared for his feet or trimmed his mustache or washed his clothes from the day the king had left until the day he returned safely.
Iho aku la hoi o Mepiboseta ka moopuna a Saula e halawai me ke alii; aole ia i hooponopono i kona mau wawae, aole i hoomaikai i kona umiumi, aole no hoi i holoi i kona kapa, mai ka la i hele aku ai ke alii, a hiki i ka la i hoi hou mai ai ia me ka malu.
25 And he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, who asked him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
A hiki mai la ia i Ierusalema e halawai me ke alii, i aku la ke alii ia ia, E Mepiboseta, heaha kau i hele pu ole ai me au?
26 “My lord the king,” he replied, “because I am lame, I said, ‘I will have my donkey saddled so that I may ride on it and go with the king.’ But my servant Ziba deceived me,
I mai la kela, E kuu haku, e ke alii, ua hoopunipuni mai kuu kauwa ia'u: no ka mea, i aku la kau kauwa, e hoee aku no au i ka noho maluna o ka hoki no'u, i holo ai au maluna, a hele aku i ke alii; no ka mea, he oopa kau kauwa.
27 and he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. Yet my lord the king is like the angel of God, so do what is good in your eyes.
A ua alapahi kela i kau kauwa imua o kuu haku o ke alii; a ua like kuu haku ke alii me ka anela o ke Akua; nolaila, e hana aku oe i ka mea pono ma kou maka.
28 For all the house of my grandfather deserves death from my lord the king, yet you have set your servant among those who eat at your table. What further right, then, do I have to keep appealing to the king?”
No ka mea, ua like me na kanaka make ka poe ohana a pau o kuu kupunakane imua o kuu haku o ke alii; aka, ua hoonoho oe i kau kauwa iwaena o ka poe nana i ai ma kou papaaina iho: heaha hoi kuu pono e kahea hou aku ai i ke alii?
29 The king replied, “Why say any more? I hereby declare that you and Ziba are to divide the land.”
I aku la ke alii ia ia, No ke aha oe e olelo hou mai nei no kau mau mea? Ua olelo aku no wau, E hoolike a like olua me Ziba i ka aina.
30 And Mephibosheth said to the king, “Instead, since my lord the king has safely come to his own house, let Ziba take it all!”
I mai la o Mepiboseta i ke alii, Ae, e lawe kela nona i na mea a pau: no ka mea, ua hoi hou mai nei kuu haku ke alii i kona hale me ka malu.
31 Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim to cross the Jordan with the king and send him on his way from there.
Iho mai la hoi o Barezilai no Gileada mai Rogelima mai a hele pu mai me ke alii ma keia kapa o Ioredane, e alakai ia ia ma neia aoao o Ioredane.
32 Barzillai was quite old, eighty years of age, and since he was a very wealthy man, he had provided for the king while he stayed in Mahanaim.
He kanaka elemakule o Barezilai; he kanawalu kona mau makahiki: a hanai aku la ia i ke alii i kona wa i noho ai ma Mahanaima; no ka mea, he kanaka koikoi nui loa ia.
33 The king said to Barzillai, “Cross over with me, and I will provide for you at my side in Jerusalem.”
I aku la ke alii ia Barezilai, E hele pu oe me au, a e hanai aku no au ia oe ma Ierusalema.
34 But Barzillai replied, “How many years of my life remain, that I should go up to Jerusalem with the king?
I mai la o Barezilai i ke alii, Ehia mau la o kuu ola e koe, i pii aku ai au me ke alii i Ierusalema?
35 I am now eighty years old. Can I discern what is good and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or drinks? Can I still hear the voice of singing men and women? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?
He kanawalu na makahiki o'u i keia la; e hiki anei ia'u ke ike mawaena o ka pono a me ka hewa? Ua ono anei i kau kauwa ka'u mea e ai ai, a me ka'u mea e inu ai? e lohe hou anei au i ka leo o na kane mea mele a me na wahine mea mele? no ke aha hoi e hookaumaha aku ai kau kauwa i kuu haku i ke alii?
36 Your servant could go with the king only a short distance past the Jordan; why should the king repay me with such a reward?
E hele ana kau kauwa ma o iki aku o Ioredane me ke alii: no ke aha hoi e hoouku mai ai ke alii ia'u ia uku nui?
37 Please let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the tomb of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight.”
Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe i kau kauwa e hoi hou aku ia, i make au maloko o kuu kulanakauhale, ma ka halekupapau o kuu makuakane a me uku makuwahine. Aka, eia hoi kau kauwa o Kimehama; e aho e hele pu ia me kuu haku me ke alii; e hana aku oe ia ia e like me ka mea pono ia oe.
38 The king replied, “Chimham will cross over with me, and I will do for him what seems good in your sight, and I will do for you whatever you desire of me.”
I aku la ke alii, E hele pu o Kimehama me au, a e hana aku au ia ia ma ka mea pono ia oe: a o ka mea au e makemake mai ai ia'u, oia ka'u e hana aku ai nou.
39 So all the people crossed the Jordan, and then the king crossed over. The king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and Barzillai returned home.
Hele mai la na kanaka a pau ma neia aoao o Ioredane. A pae mai ke alii, alaila honi ae la ke alii ia Barezilai, a hoomaikai aku la ia ia, a hoi hou aku la ia i kona wahi.
40 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham crossed over with him. All the troops of Judah and half the troops of Israel escorted the king.
Alaila hele aku la ke alii i Gilegala, a hele pu aku la o Kimehama me ia: a alakai aku la na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda i ke alii, a pela hoi kekahi hapa o na kanaka o ka Iseraela.
41 Soon all the men of Israel came to the king and asked, “Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, take you away secretly and bring the king and his household across the Jordan, together with all of David’s men?”
Aia hoi, hele mai la na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela i ke alii, i aku la i ke alii, No ke aha la i aihue aku ai ko makou mau hoahanau na kanaka o ka Iuda ia oe, a ua kai mai i ke alii a me ko ka hale ona, a me na kanaka o Davida a pau me ia ma keia kapa o Ioredane?
42 And all the men of Judah replied to the men of Israel, “We did this because the king is our relative. Why does this anger you? Have we ever eaten at the king’s expense or received anything for ourselves?”
Olelo aku la na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda i na kanaka o ka Iseraela, no ka mea, ua hookahi kona hanauna me ko makou; heaha ka oukou e huhu mai nei ia mea? Ua ai iki anei makou i ka ke alii? a ua haawi mai anei ia i ka manawalea ia makou?
43 “We have ten shares in the king,” answered the men of Israel, “so we have more claim to David than you. Why then do you despise us? Were we not the first to speak of restoring our king?” But the men of Judah pressed even harder than the men of Israel.
Olelo aku la na kanaka o ka Iseraela i na kanaka o ka Iuda, i ae la, He umi mau hakina o ke alii ka makou, a he nui aku ka makou ia Davida i ka oukou: no ke aha hoi oukou i hoowahawaha ai ia makou, i lilo ole ka makou olelo no ka hoihoi ana mai i ke alii i ka mea mua? A o ka olelo ana a na kanaka o ka Iuda, he ikaika aku ia i ka olelo ana a na kanaka o ka Iseraela.
