< 2 Samuel 12 >

1 Then the Lord sent Nathan to David. And when he had come to him, he said to him: “Two men were in one city: one wealthy, 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 wealthy man had very many sheep and oxen.
He nui loa hoi na ohana hipa a me na ohana bipi a ke kanaka waiwai:
3 But the poor man had nothing at all, except one little sheep, which he had bought and nourished. And she had grown up before him, together with his children, eating from his bread, and drinking from his cup, and sleeping in his bosom. And she 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 But when a certain traveler had come to the wealthy man, neglecting to take from his own sheep and oxen, so that he might present a feast for that traveler, who had come to him, he took the sheep of the poor man, and he prepared a meal for the man who had come to him.”
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 Then David’s indignation was enraged exceedingly against that man, and he said to Nathan: “As the Lord lives, the man who has done this is a son of death.
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 He shall restore the sheep fourfold, because he did this word, and he did not take pity.”
A e hoihoi pa-ha aku ia i ke keikihipa, no ka hana ana ia mea, a no ka mea, aohe ona aloha.
7 But Nathan said to David: “You are that man. Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘I anointed you as king over Israel, and I rescued 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 And I gave the house of your lord to you, and the wives of your lord into your bosom. And I gave the house of Israel and of Judah to you. And as if these things were small, I shall add much greater things to you.
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 Therefore, why have you despised the word of the Lord, so that you did evil in my sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword. And you have taken his wife as a wife for yourself. And you have put him to death with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
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 For this reason, the sword shall not withdraw from your house, even perpetually, because you have despised me, and you have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite, so that she may be your wife.’
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 And so, thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will raise up over you an evil from your own house. And I will take your wives away before your eyes, and I will give them to your neighbor. And he will sleep with your wives in the sight of this sun.
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 For you acted secretly. But I will do this word in the sight of all of Israel, and in the sight of the sun.’”
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 And David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David: “The Lord has also taken away your sin. You shall 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 Yet truly, because you have given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, because of this word, the son who was born to you: dying he shall 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 And Nathan returned to his own house. And the Lord struck the little one, whom the wife of Uriah had borne to David, and he was despaired of.
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 And David begged the Lord on behalf of the little one. And David fasted strictly, and entering alone, he lay upon 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 Then the elders of his house came, urging him to rise up from the ground. And he was not willing, nor would he eat a meal 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 Then, on the seventh day, it happened that the infant died. And the servants of David were afraid to report to him that the little one had died. For they said: “Behold, when the child was still alive, we were speaking to him, but he would not listen to our voice. How much more will he afflict himself, if we tell him that the boy is dead?”
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 But when David had seen his servants whispering, he realized that the infant had died. And he said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” And they responded to him, “He is dead.”
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 Therefore, David rose up from the ground. And he washed and anointed himself. And when he had changed his clothing, he entered the house of the Lord, and he worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and he asked them to place bread 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 But his servants said to him: “What is this word that you have done? You fasted and were weeping, on behalf of the infant, while he was still alive. But when the boy was dead, you arose and ate bread.”
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 And he said: “While he was yet alive, I fasted and wept on behalf of the infant. For I said: Who knows if the Lord may perhaps give him to me, and let the infant 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? Would I be able to bring him back anymore? Instead, I will go to him. Yet truly, 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 And David consoled his wife Bathsheba. And entering to her, he slept with her. And she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
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 he sent, by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he called his name, Beloved of the Lord, 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 And then Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and he fought outside the royal city.
Kaua aku la o Ioaba ia Raba o na mamo a Amona, a hoopio mai la i ke kulanakauhale alii.
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, saying: “I have struggled against Rabbah, and so the City of Waters will soon be seized.
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, gather the remaining portion of the people together, and besiege the city and take it. Otherwise, when the city will have been laid waste by me, the victory will be ascribed to my name.”
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 And so David gathered together all the people, and he set out against Rabbah. And after he had fought, he seized 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 And he took the crown of their king from his head. The weight of it was a talent of gold, having the most precious gems. And it was placed upon the head of David. Moreover, he carried away the spoils of the city, which were very many.
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 Also, bringing forth its people, he sawed them, and he drove over them with iron wagons, and he divided them with knives, and he dragged them through brick kilns. So he did to all the citizens of the sons of Ammon. And David returned, with the entire army, 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.
