2 Samuel 17
1 Then Ahithophel said to Absalom: “I will choose for myself twelve thousand men, and rising up, I will pursue David this night.
OLELO aku la o Ahitopela ia Abesaloma, He pono na'u e wae aku ano i na kanaka he umikumamalua tausani, a e ku ae au a e hahai aku mahope o Davida i neia po.
2 And rushing against him, for he is weary and has weakened hands, I will strike him. And when all the people who are with him will have fled, I will strike down the king in isolation.
A e loaa aku ia'u ia oi nawaliwali ia a me ke kanaka ole, a e hooweliweli aku au ia ia; a e holo aku na kanaka a pau me ia; a o ke alii wale no ka'u e pepehi aku ai.
3 And I will lead back the entire people, returning in the manner of one man. For you are seeking only one man. And all the people shall be in peace.”
A e hoihoi mai nei au i na kanaka a pau iou nei; o ke kanaka au e imi nei, na like ia me ka hoi hou ana mai o lakou a pau: pela e malu ai na kanaka a pau.
4 And this word pleased Absalom and all those greater by birth of Israel.
He pono keia olelo i ka manao o Abesaloma a me na lunakahiko a pau o ka Iseraela.
5 But Absalom said, “Summon Hushai the Archite, and let us hear what he also may say.”
Alaila, i mai la o Abesaloma, E kahea aku hoi ia Husai no Areki; e lohe hoi kakou i kana olelo.
6 And when Hushai had gone to Absalom, Absalom said to him: “Ahithophel has spoken a word in this manner. Should we do it or not? What counsel do you give?”
A hiki mai o Husai io Abesaloma la, olelo mai la o Abesaloma ia ia, i mai la, Pela ka Ahitopela i olelo mai ai: e hana anei kakou e like me kana olelo? A i ole, e olelo mai hoi oe.
7 And Hushai said to Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel has given at this time is not good.”
I aku la o Husai ia Abesaloma, O ka oleloao a Ahitopela ana i olelo mai ai, aohe pono ia i neia manawa.
8 And again Hushai declared, “You know your father, and the men who are with him, to be very strong and bitter in soul, comparable to a bear raging in the forest when her young have been taken away. Moreover, your father is a man of war, and so he will not live among the people.
No ka mea, wahi a Husai, ua ike oe i kou makuakane a me na kanaka ona, he poe kanaka ikaika lakou, a ua ukiuki ko lakou naau me he bea la i kailiia aku kana ohana keiki ma ke kula; he kanaka kaua no hoi kou makuakane, aole ia e moe me na kanaka.
9 Perhaps now he hides in pits, or in another place, wherever he wills. And if by chance, in the beginning, anyone may fall, whoever hears about it, no matter what he has heard, will say, ‘There is a slaughter among the people who were following Absalom.’
Aia no ia ua pee ma kekahi lua, i kekahi wahi paha: a i ka haule mua ana o kekahi mau mea o lakou, e olelo auanei ka poe lohe, He lukuia iwaena o ka poe hahai ia Abesaloma;
10 And even the very strong, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will be weakened out of fear. For all the people of Israel know your father to be a valiant man, and that all who are with him are robust.
A o ke koa, ka mea naau e like me ka naau o ka liona, e hehee loa ia: no ka mea, ua ike ka Iseraela a pau, he kanaka koa kou makuakane, a he poe kanaka ikaika hoi ka poe me ia.
11 But this seems to me to be the right counsel: Let all of Israel be gathered to you, from Dan to Beersheba, like the sand of the sea which is innumerable. And you will be in their midst.
Nolaila, eia kuu manao ke hai aku nei, I hoakoakoaia mai ka Iseraela a pau iou nei, mai Dana a hiki i Beeraseba, e like me ke one o ke kai ka nui loa; a e hele oe iho no i ke kaua.
12 And we shall rush against him in whatever place he will have been found. And we shall cover him, as the dew usually falls upon the ground. And we shall not leave behind even one of the men who are with him.
Pela kakou e hiki aku ai io na la i kahi e loaa aku ai ia ia, a e kau aku kakou maluna ona, e like me ka hau e kau mai maluna o ka honua: a oia, a o ka poe a pau me ia, aole loa e koe kekahi o lakou.
13 And if he will enter into any city, all of Israel shall encircle that city with ropes. And we will pull it into the torrent, so that there may not be found even one small stone from it.”
A ina paha ua komo aku ia iloko o kekahi kulanakauhale, alaila e lawe aku ka Iseraela a pau i na kaula i ua kulanakauhale la, a e kauo aku kakou ia wahi maloko o ka muliwai, a koe ole ma ia wahi kekahi pohaku liilii.
14 And Absalom, with all the men of Israel, said: “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” So, by an act of the Lord, the useful counsel of Ahithophel was defeated, in order that the Lord might lead evil over Absalom.
I aku la o Abesaloma a me na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, ua oi aku ka pono o ka oleloao a Husai no Areki, mamua o ka oleloao a Ahitopela. No ka mea, ua manao mai o Iehova e hoolilo i ka oleloao akamai a Ahitopela i mea ole, i mea e hooili mai ai o Iehova i ka ino maluna o Abesaloma.
15 And Hushai said to the priests, Zadok and Abiathar: “Ahithophel gave counsel to Absalom and to the elders of Israel in this and that manner. And I gave counsel in such and such a manner.
Alaila, olelo aku la o Husai ia Zadoka laua o Abiatara na kahuna, Pela a penei i oleloao aku ai o Ahitopela ia Abesaloma a me na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela; pela a penei hoi au i oleloao aku ai.
16 Now therefore, send quickly, and report to David, saying: ‘You shall not stay this night in the plains of the desert. Instead, without delay, go across. Otherwise the king may be engulfed, and all the people who are with him.’”
Nolaila, e hoouna koke aku olua e hai ia Davida, i ka i ana aku, Mai moe oe i neia po ma na papu o ka waonahele, e hele koke oe ma kela aoao, o pau loa ke alii a me na kanaka me ia i ke aleia.
17 But Jonathan and Ahimaaz remained beside the Fountain of Rogel. And a handmaid went away and reported it to them. And they set out, so that they might carry the report to king David. For they could not be seen, nor enter into the city.
A ua noho o Ionatana laua o Ahimaaza ma Enerogela, no ka mea, aole pono e ikeia laua ke komo iloko o ke kulanakauhale, a hele aku la kekahi kauwawahine, a hai aku la ia laua: hele aku la hoi laua, a hai aku la i ke alii ia Davida.
18 But a certain young man saw them, and he revealed it to Absalom. Yet truly, they traveled quickly and entered into the house of a certain man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, and they descended into it.
Aka, ua ike no kekahi keiki ia laua, a hai aku la ia Abesaloma: aka, hele koke aku la laua a hiki aku la i ka hale o kekahi kanaka i Bahurima, a he luawai maloko o ka pahale ona, ilaila laua i iho ai.
19 Then a woman took and spread a covering over the mouth of the well, as if drying hulled barley. And so the matter was hidden.
Lalau aku la ka wahine i ka mea uhi, hohola iho la maluna o ka waha o ka luawai, a halii iho la i ka palaoa maluna iho: a ua ike ole ia ua mea la.
20 And when the servants of Absalom had entered into the house, they said to the woman, “Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And the woman responded to them, “They passed through hurriedly, after they had taken a little water.” But those who were seeking them, when they had not found them, returned to Jerusalem.
A hiki mai na kauwa a Abesaloma i ua wahine la ma ka hale, ninau mai la lakou, Auhea o Ahimaaza laua o Ionatana? I aku la ka wahine ia lakou, ua hala aku la laua ma kela aoao o ke kahawai. Imi aku la lakou, aole hoi i loaa, alaila hoi hou mai la lakou i Ierusalema.
21 And when they had gone, they ascended from the well. And traveling, they reported to king David, and they said: “Rise up, and go across the river quickly. For Ahithophel has given a counsel of this kind against you.”
A hala aku la lakou, pii mai la laua mailoko mai o ka luawai, hele aku la, a hai aku la i ke alii ia Davida. I aku la ia Davida, Eku ae, e holo koke ma kela aoao o ka wai; no ka mea, penei ka Ahitopela i olelo ku e ai ia oukou.
22 Therefore, David rose up, and all the people who were with him, and they crossed over the Jordan, until first light. And not even one of them was left behind who had not crossed over the river.
Alaila ku ae la o Davida a me na kanaka a pau me ia, a hele aku la ma kela aoao o Ioredane: a i ka wanaao, aole i koe kekahi o lakou i ka hele ole ma kela aoao o Ioredane.
23 Then Ahithophel, seeing that his counsel had not been done, saddled his donkey, and he rose up and went away to his own house and to his own city. And putting his house in order, he killed himself by hanging. And he was buried in the sepulcher of his father.
A ike aku la o Ahitopela, aole i hanaia e like me kana oleloao, hoee aku la ia i ka noho maluna o kona hoki, ku ae la ia, hoi hou aku la ia i kona wahi, i kona hale iho, i kona kulanakauhale, a kauoha aku la no ko ka hale ona, a kaawe iho la ia ia iho, a make; a ua kanuia oia ma ka halekupapau o kona makuakane.
24 Then David went to the encampment, and Absalom crossed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
Alaila hele aku la o Davida i Mahanaima: a hele aku la hoi o Abesaloma ma kela aoao o Ioredane, oia a me na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela me ia.
25 Truly, Absalom appointed Amasa in place of Joab over the army. Now Amasa was the son of a man who was called Ithra of Jezrael, who entered to Abigail, the daughter of Nahash, the sister of Zeruiah, who was the mother of Joab.
Hoonoho aku la o Abesaloma ia Amasa ma ko Ioaba wahi maluna o ka poe kaua: a o ua Amasa la, he keiki ia na kekahi kanaka no ka Iseraela, o Itera ka inoa, ka mea i komo aku iloko io Abigala la ke kaikamahine a Nahasa, a o ke kaikaina o Zeruia o ka makuwahine o Ioaba.
26 And Israel made camp with Absalom in the land of Gilead.
Hoomoana iho la ka Iseraela me Abesaloma ma ka aina o Gileada.
27 And when David had arrived at the encampment, Shobi, the son of Nahash, from Rabbah, of the sons of Ammon, and Machir, the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai, the Gileadite of Rogelim,
A hiki aku la o Davida i Mahanaima, ilaila o Sobi ke keiki a Nahasa no Raba o na mamo a Amona, a o Makira ke keiki a Amiela no Lodebara, a o Barezilai no Rogelima ma Gileada,
28 brought to him bedding, and tapestries, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and cooked grain, and beans, and lentils, and fried chick peas,
Lawe mai la lakou i na moe a me na kiaha a me na ipu lepo a me na hua palaoa a me ka bale a me ka palaoa, a me ka palaoa papaa, a me ka papapa maka, a me ka pi, a me ka papapa papaa;
29 and honey, and butter, sheep and fattened calves. And they gave these to David and to the people who were with him to eat. For they suspected that the people were faint with hunger and thirst in the desert.
A me ka meli, a me ka bata, a mo na hipa, a me ka waiubipipaa, na Davida a na ka poe kanaka me ia e ai ai: no ka mea, olelo ae la lakou, Ua pololi na kanaka, ua luhi a me ka makewai ma ka waonahele.
