2 Samuel 21
1 During the reign of David there was a famine for three successive years, and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, “It is because of the blood shed by Saul and his family, because he killed the Gibeonites.”
I LAILA no i na la o Davida na makahiki wi ekolu, i kela makahiki i keia makahiki: a ninau aku la Davida ia Iehova. I mai la o Iehova, No Saula ia, a no kona ohana koko; no ka mea, ua pepehi oia i ko Gibeona.
2 At this, David summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not Israelites, but a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had taken an oath concerning them, but in his zeal for Israel and Judah, Saul had sought to kill them.)
Kii aku la ke alii i ko Gibeona, i aku la ia lakou; (a o ko Gibeona aole lakou no na mamo a Iseraela, no ke koena lakou o ka poe Amori; a ua hoohiki aku na mamo a Iseraela ia lakou: a manao iho la o Saula e pepehi ia lakou no kona manao ikaika i na mamo a Iseraela laua o Iuda.)
3 So David asked the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? How can I make amends so that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?”
I aku la o Davida i ko Gibeona, Heaha ka'u e hana aku ai no oukou? pehea hoi au e hookalahala aku ai, i hoomaikai mai oukou i ka aina a Iehova i haawi mai ai?
4 The Gibeonites said to him, “We need no silver or gold from Saul or his house, nor should you put to death anyone in Israel for us.” “Whatever you ask, I will do for you,” he replied.
I mai la ko Gibeona ia ia, Aole makou e makemake i ke kala, aole hoi i ke gula no Saula a no kana ohana; aole hoi oe e pepehi i kekahi kanaka iloko o ka Iseraela no makou. I aku la kela, O ka mea a oukou e olelo mai ai, oia ka'u e hana aku ai no oukou.
5 And they answered the king, “As for the man who consumed us and plotted against us to exterminate us from existing within any border of Israel,
I mai la lakou i ke alii, O ke kanaka nana makou i hoopau aku, a i noonoo e luku mai ia makou, i noho ole ai makou ma kekahi palena aina o ka Iseraela,
6 let seven of his male descendants be delivered to us so that we may hang them before the LORD at Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.” “I will give them to you,” said the king.
E haawiia mai na kanaka ehiku o kana mau keiki ia makou, a e kau aku makou ia lakou iluna no Iehova ma Gibea no Saula o ka mea a Iehova i wae ai. I aku la ke alii, E haawi no wau.
7 Now the king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath before the LORD between David and Jonathan son of Saul.
Aka, kala aku la ke alii ia Mepiboseta ke keiki a Ionatana ke keiki a Saula, no ka hoohiki ana ia Iehova iwaena o laua, iwaena o Davida laua o Ionatana ke keiki a Saula.
8 But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons whom Rizpah daughter of Aiah had borne to Saul, as well as the five sons whom Merab daughter of Saul had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
A lawe aku la ke alii i na keikikane elua a Rizepa ke kaikamahine a Aia, i na mea ana i hanau ai na Saula, o Aremoni a o Mepiboseta; a me na keikikane elima a Mikala ke kaikamahine a Saula, na mea ana i hanai ai na Aderiela ke keiki a Barezilai no Meholata.
9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before the LORD. So all seven of them fell together; they were put to death in the first days of the harvest, at the beginning of the barley harvest.
A haawi aku la oia ia lakou i na lima o ko Gibeona, a kaawe aku la lakou ia poe maluna o ka puu imua o Iehova; a hina pu iho la lakou a ehiku, a make iho la i na la o ka ohi ai ana, i na la mua o ka ohi bale ana.
10 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock. From the beginning of the harvest until the rain from heaven poured down on the bodies, she did not allow the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
Lawe ae la o Rizepa ke kaikamahine a Aia i ke kapa inoino, a halii iho la nona maluna o ka pohaku nui, mai ka wa mua o ka ohi bale ana a hiki i ka wa i haule mai ai ka ua mai ka lani mai maluna iho o lakou, a kiai iho la ia i kau ole ai na manu o ka lewa maluna o lakou i ke ao, aole hoi na holoholona o ke kula i ka po.
11 When David was told what Saul’s concubine Rizpah, daughter of Aiah, had done,
A ua haiia aku ia Davida ka mea a Rizepa ke kaikamahine a Aia, ka haiawahine a Saula i hana'i.
12 he went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth-shan where the Philistines had hung the bodies after they had struck down Saul at Gilboa.
Hele aku la o Davida, a lawe mai la ia i na iwi o Saula a me na iwi o Ionatana kana keiki mai na kanaka o Iabesagileada mai, ka poe nana i lawe malu ia laua mai ke alanui o Betesana mai, kahi a ka poe Pilisetia i kau ai ia laua, i ka wa i pepehi ai ka poe Pilisetia ia Saula i Gileboa.
13 So David had the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan brought from there, along with the bones of those who had been hanged.
Lawe mai la ia i na iwi o Saula a me na iwi o Ionatana kana keiki mai laila mai; a hoiliili ae la lakou i na iwi o ka poe i kaaweia.
14 And they buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in Zela in the land of Benjamin, in the tomb of Saul’s father Kish. After they had done everything the king had commanded, God answered their prayers for the land.
Kanu aku la lakou i na iwi o Saula a o Ionatana kana keiki ma Zela ma ka aina o ka Beniamina, maloko o ka halekupapau no Kisa no kona makuakane: a hana aku la lakou i na mea a pau a ke alii i kena aku ai. A mahope iho ua hoomaliuia'ku ke Akua no ka aina.
15 Once again the Philistines waged war against Israel, and David and his servants went down and fought against the Philistines; but David became exhausted.
A kaua hou mai la ko Pilisetia me ka Iseraela; iho aku la o Davida me kana poe kauwa, a kaua aku la i ko Pilisetia: a paupauaho iho la o Davida.
16 Then Ishbi-benob, a descendant of Rapha, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels and who was bearing a new sword, resolved to kill David.
A o Isebi-benoba no na keiki a ke kanaka nunui, o kona ihe, ekolu haneri sekela keleawe ia ma ke kaupaona ana, ua kaei oia i ka pahikaua hou, a manao iho la oia e pepehi ia Davida.
17 But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to his aid, struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, “You must never again go out with us to battle, so that the lamp of Israel may not be extinguished.”
Kokua mai la o Abisai ke keiki a Zeruia ia ia, hahau aku la ia i ke kanaka no Pilisetia, a pepehi iho la ia ia. Alaila papa mai la na kanaka ia Davida, i mai la, Mai hele hou aku oe me makou i ke kaua, i kinai ole iho ai oe i ke kukui no ka Iseraela.
18 Some time later at Gob, there was another battle with the Philistines. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, one of the descendants of Rapha.
A mahope iho o keia manawa, he kaua hou me ko Pilisetia ma Goba; a pepehi iho la o Sibekai no Husata ia Sapa no na keiki a ke kanaka nunui.
19 Once again there was a battle with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
He kaua hou no hoi ma Goba me ko Pilisetia, ilaila i pepehi iho ai o Elehanana ke keiki a Iaareoregima no Betelehema i ke kaikaina o Golia no Gata, o ke au o kona ihe, ua like ia me ka laau o ka mea ulana lole.
20 And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,
A he kaua hou ma Gata, ilaila he kanaka nunui me na manamanalima eono ma kela lima ma keia lima, a me na manamanawawae eono no ma kela wawae ma keia wawae, he iwakaluakumamaha i ka helu ana: ua hanau hoi ia na ke kanaka nunui.
21 and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
I kona hoino ana mai i ka Iseraela, pepehi iho la o Ionatana ke keiki a Simea a ke kaikuaana a Davida ia ia.
22 So these four descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
Ua hanau keia poe eha na ke kanaka nunui ma Gata, a ua haule lakou ma ka lima o Davida, a me ka lima hoi o kana poe kauwa.
