Kings I 24
1 And it came to pass when Saul returned from pursuing after the Philistines, that it was reported to him, saying, David [is] in the wilderness of Engaddi.
A I ka hoi ana mai o Saula i ka hahai ana i ko Pilisetia, ua haiia mai ia ia, i mai la, Aia hoi o Davida ma ka waonahele o Enegedi.
2 And he took with him three thousand men, chosen out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men in front of Saddaeem.
Alaila lawe ae la o Saula i ekolu tausani kanaka i waeia noloko mai o ka Iseraela a pau, a hele aku la e imi ia Davida a me kona poe kanaka maluna o na pohaku o na kao hihiu.
3 And he came to the flocks of sheep that were by the way, and there was a cave there; and Saul went in to make preparation, and David and his men were sitting in the inner part of the cave.
A hiki aka ia i na pa hipa ma ke ala, a malaila he ana; a komo aku la o Saula e uhi i kona wawae: a o Davida a me kona poe kanaka aia ma na aoao o ke ana.
4 And the men of David said to him, Behold, this [is] the day of which the Lord spoke to you, that he would deliver your enemy into your hands; and you shall do to him as [it is] good in your sight. So David arose and cut off the skirt of Saul's garment secretly.
I aku la na kanaka o Davida ia ia, Aia hoi, ua hiki mai ka la a Iehova i i mai ai, Aia hoi, e hoolilo ana au i kou enemi iloko o kou lima, i hana aku ai oe ia ia e like me kou makemake. Alaila ku ae la o Davida, a oki malu iho i ka lepa o ka lole aahu o Saula.
5 And it came to pass after this that David's heart struck him, because he had cut off the skirt of his garment.
A mahope iho, kui iho la ka naau o Davida ia ia iho, i kona oki ana i ka lepa o ka lole aahu o Saula.
6 And David said to his men, The Lord forbid it me, that I should do this ting to my lord the anointed of the Lord, to lift my hand against him; for he is the anointed of the Lord.
I aku la ia i kona poe kanaka, Ua hoole mai o Iehova ke hana aku au i keia mea i kuu haku, i ka mea a Iehova i poni ai, a e kau aku i kuu lima maluna ona, no ka mea, oia ka mea i poniia e Iehova.
7 So David persuaded his men by [his] words, and did not suffer them to arise and kill Saul: and Saul arose and went his way.
Hooikaika aku la o Davida i kona poe kanaka ma keia olelo, aole ia i ae aku ia lakou e ku e ia Saula. Ku ae la o Saula mawaho o ke ana, a hele aku la ma ke ala.
8 And David rose up [and went] after him out of the cave: and David cried after Saul, saying, [My] lord, [O] king! and Saul looked behind him, and David bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance to him.
Mahope iho, ku ae la o Davida a hele iwaho o ke ana, a kahea aku la mahope o Saula, i aku la, E kuu haku, e ke alii. A nana ae la o Saula mahope ona, kulou iho la o Davida me kona maka ma ka honua, a haule iho ilalo.
9 And David said to Saul, Why do you listen to the words of the people, saying, Behold, David seeks your life?
I aku la o Davida ia Saula, No ke aha la oe i hoolohe ai i ka olelo a kanaka, i ka i ana mai, Aia hoi, ke imi nei o Davida e hana eha ia oe?
10 Behold, your eyes have seen this day how that the Lord has delivered you this day into my hands in the cave; and I would not kill you, but spared you, and said, I will not lift up my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord's anointed.
Aia hoi, i keia la ua ike kou maka i ka hoolilo ana o Iehova ia oe iloko o kuu lima ma ke ana: a i mai la kekahi e pepehi ia oe; aka, ua aloha au ia oe; i aku la, Aole au e kau aku i kuu lima maluna o kuu haku; no ka mea, oia ka Iehova i poni ai.
11 And behold, the skirt of your mantle [is] in my hand, I cut off the skirt, and did not kill you: know then and see today, there is no evil in my hand, nor impiety, nor rebellion; and I have not sinned against you, yet you lay snares for my soul to take it.
E nana oe, e kuu makuakane, e nana hoi i ka lepa o kou aahu ma kuu lima: no ka mea, i kuu oki ana i ka lepa o kou aahu, aole hoi i pepehi ia oe, e nana hoi, e ike oe, aole he hewa, aole hoi he lawehala iloko o kuu lima, aole no au i hana hewa aku ia oe: aka, ke imi mai nei oe i kuu ola e lawe aka ia.
12 The Lord judge between me and you, and the Lord requite you on yourself: but my hand shall not be upon you.
Na Iehova e hooponopono iwaena o kaua, a na Iehova e hoopai ia oe no'u; aka, aole e kauia'ku kuu lima maluna ou.
13 As the old proverb says, Transgression will proceed from the wicked ones: but my hand shall not be upon you.
E like me ka olelo a ka poe kahiko, No ka poe hewa mai ka hewa; aka, aole e kauia'ku kuu lima maluna ou.
14 And now after whom do you come forth, O king of Israel? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog, and after a flea?
Mamuli owai i puka mai nei ke alii o ka Iseraela? e alualu ana oe ia wai? mamuli o ka ilio make anei? mamuli o ka ukulele anei?
15 The Lord be judge and umpire between me and you, the Lord look upon and judge my cause, and rescue me out of your hand.
O Iehova ka lunakanawai, a nana e hooponopono iwaena o kaua, a nana hoi e hooponopono mai i kuu mea, a e hoopakele mai ia'u mai kou lima ae.
16 And it came to pass when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, [Is] this your voice, Son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
A pau ae la ka Davida olelo ana'ku i keia mau olelo ia Saula; i mai la o Saula, O kou leo anei keia, e Davida kuu keiki? a hookiekie ae la o Saula i kona leo iluna, a uwe iho la.
17 And Saul said to David, You [are] more righteous that I, for you have recompensed me good, but I have recompensed you evil.
I aku la oia ia Davida, Ua oi aka kou pono mamua o ko'u: no ka mea, ua hana pono mai oe ia'u a ua hana ino aku au ia oe.
18 And you have told me today what good you have done me, how the Lord shut me up into your hands today, and you did not kill me.
A ua hoike mai oe i keia la i kau hana pono mai ia'u: no ka mea, i ko Iehova hoolilo ana ia'u iloko o kou lima, aole oe i pepehi mai ia'u.
19 And if any one should find his enemy in distress, and should send him forth in a good way, then the Lord will reward him good, as you has done this day.
Ina i loaa i ke kanaka kona enemi, e kuu ola aku anei kela ia ia? no ia mea, e uku mai o Iehova ia oe i ka pono no ka mea au i hana mai ai ia'u i keia la.
20 And now, behold, I know that you shall surely reign, and the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
Ano hoi, ua ike maopopo no au, e lilo auanei oe i alii, a e hookupaaia ke aupuni o ka Iseraela iloko o kou lima.
21 Now then swear to me by the Lord, that you will not destroy my seed after me, that you will not blot out my name from the house of my father.
Ano hoi, e hoohiki mai oe ia'u ma Iehova, i ole oe e hooki iho i ka'u hua mahope o'u, i ole hoi oe e hooki i kuu inoa mai ka hale aku o ko'u makuakane.
22 So David swore to Saul: and Saul departed to his place, and David and his men went up to the strong-hold of Messera.
A hoohiki aku la o Davida ia Saula, a hoi aku la o Saula i kona wahi; aka, pii aku la o Davida me kona poe kanaka ma kahi paa.
