1 Samuel 23
1 And they told David, saying: Behold the Philistines fight against Ceila, and they rob the barns.
A LAILA hai aku la lakou ia Davida, i aku la, Aia hoi, ke kaua mai nei ko Pilisetia i Keila, a hao wale lakou ma kahi hehi palaoa.
2 Therefore David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the Lord said to David: Go, and thou shalt smite the Philistines, and shalt save Ceila.
No ia mea, ninau aku la o Davida ia Iehova, i aku la, E hele anei au e pepehi i keia poe o ko Pilisetia? I mai la o Iehova ia Davida, O hele a pepehi aku i ko Pilisetia, a e hoopakele i ko Keila.
3 And the men that were with David, said to him: Behold we are in fear here in Judea, how much more if we go to Ceila against the hands of the Philistines?
Olelo mai na kanaka o Davida ia ia, Aia hoi, ke makau nei kakou maanei maloko o ka Iuda: aole anei he nui aku, ke hele kakou ma Keila e ku e i ka poe kaua no ko Pilisetia?
4 Therefore David consulted the Lord again. And he answered and said to him: Arise, and go to Ceila: for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand.
A ninau hou aku la o Davida ia Iehova. Olelo mai la o Iehova ia ia, i mai la, E ku ae e hele ma Keila; no ka mea, e hoolilo au i ko Pilisetia iloko o kou lima.
5 David therefore, and his men, went to Ceila, and fought against the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and made a great slaughter of them: and David saved the inhabitants of Ceila.
A hele aku la o Davida me kona poe kanaka ma Keila, a kaua aku i ko Pilisetia, a lawe aku i ko lakou holoholona, a pepehi aku ia lakou me ka luku nui. A hoopakele o Davida i na kanaka o Keila.
6 Now at that time, when Abiathar the son of Achimelech fled to David to Ceila, he came down having an ephod with him.
A i ka holo ana o Abiatara ke keiki a Ahimeleka io Davida la i Keila, ua hele no ia me ka epoda ma kona lima.
7 And it was told Saul that David was come to Ceila: and Saul said: The Lord hath delivered him into my hands, and he is shut up, being come into a city, that hath gates and bars.
Ua haiia ia Saula ko Davida hele ana ma Keila. I mai la o Saula, Ua hoolilo mai ke Akua ia ia iloko o kuu lima; no ka mea, ua paa ia maloko, i kona komo ana i ke kulanakauhale i paa i na ipuka a me na kaola.
8 And Saul commanded all the people to go down to fight against Ceila, and to besiege David, and his men.
Houluulu ae la o Saula i na kanaka a pau i ke kaua, o hele ma Keila, e hoopaa aku ia Davida a me kona poe kanaka.
9 Now when David understood, that Saul secretly prepared evil against him, he said to Abiathar the priest: Bring hither the ephod.
A ike iho la o Davida, ua manao ino malu mai o Saula ia ia; i aku la oia ia Abiatara ke kahuna, E lawe mai i ka epoda.
10 And David said: O Lord God of Israel, thy servant hath heard a report, that Saul designeth to come to Ceila, to destroy the city for my sake:
Alaila i aku la o Davida, E Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ua lohe akaka iho nei kau kauwa i ka manao ana o Saula e hele mai nei i Keila e luku i ke kulanakauhale no'u nei.
11 Will the men of Ceila deliver me into his hands? and will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, tell thy servant. And the Lord said: He will come down.
E haawi anei na kanaka o Keila ia'u iloko o kona lima? E iho mai anei o Saula e like me kau kauwa i lohe ai? E Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai oe i kau kauwa. I mai la o Iehova, E iho mai no.
12 And David said: Will the men of Ceila deliver me, and my men, into the hands of Saul? And the Lord said: They will deliver thee up.
I aku la o Davida, E haawi anei na kanaka o Keila ia'u a me kuu poe kanaka iloko o ka lima o Saula? I mai la o Iehova, E haawi no lakou.
13 Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose, and departing from Ceila, wandered up and down uncertain where they should stay: and it was told Saul that David was fled from Ceila, and had escaped: wherefore he forbore to go out.
Alaila ku ae la o Davida a me kona poe kanaka, aono haneri paha, a puka aku la iwaho o Keila, a hele aku ia i ka lakou wahi e hele ai. Ua haiia mai ia Saula ka holo ana o Davida mai Keila aku, a haalele ia i ka hele mai.
14 But David abode in the desert in strong holds, and he remained in a mountain of the desert of Ziph, in a woody hill. And Saul sought him always: but the Lord delivered him not into his hands.
A noho iho la o Davida i ka waonahele, ma na wahi paa, a noho i ka mauna ma ka waonahele o Zipa: a imi aku la o Saula ia ia i kela la i keia la, aole ke Akua i haawi mai ia ia iloko o kona lima.
15 And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life. And David was in the desert of Ziph, in a wood.
A ike iho la o Davida, ua hele mai o Saula e imi i kona ola: aia no o Davida ma ka waonahele a Zipa maloko o ka ululaau.
16 And Jonathan the son of Saul arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hands in God: and he said to him:
Ku ae la o Ionatana ke keiki a Saula, a hele io Davida la maloko o ka ululaau, a hooikaika aku la i kona lima ma ke Akua.
17 Fear not: for the hand of my father Saul shall not find thee, and thou shalt reign over Israel, and I shall be next to thee, yea, and my father knoweth this.
I aku la oia ia ia, Mai makau oe, no ka mea, aole e loaa oe i ka lima o Saula ko'u makuakane: a e lilo oe i alii maluna o ka Iseraela, a owau hoi ka lua malalo iho ou: a ua ikeia hoi ia e Saula, e ko'u makuakane.
18 And the two made a covenant before the Lord: and David abode in the wood: but Jonathan returned to his house.
A hoopaa iho la laua i kuikahi imua o Iehova. Noho iho la o Davida maloko o ka ululaau, a hoi aku la o Ionatana ma kona hale.
19 And the Ziphites went up to Saul in Gabaa, saying: Lo, doth not David lie hid with us in the strong holds of the wood, in mount Hachila, which is on the right hand of the desert.
Alaila pii mai la ko Zipa io Saula la ma Gibea, i mai la, Aole anei o Davida i pee iho io makou la ma na wahi paa iloko o ka ululaau ma ka puu o Hakila, ma ka aoao hema o Iesimona?
20 Now therefore come down, as thy soul hath desired to come down: and it shall be our business to deliver him into the king’s hands.
No ia mea hoi, E ke alii, e iho mai oe, e like me ka makemake a pau o kou naau e iho mai, a na makou ia e haawi aku iloko o ka lima o ke alii.
21 And Saul said: Blessed be ye of the Lord, for you have pitied my case.
I aku la o Saula, E pomaikai oukou ia Iehova; no ka mea, ua lokomaikai mai oukou ia'u.
22 Go therefore, I pray you, and use all diligence, and curiously inquire, and consider the place where his foot is, and who hath seen him there: for he thinketh of me, that I lie craftily in wait for him.
Ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e hele, e hoomakaukau hoi, a e nana a ike i kona wahi a kona wawae i hele ai, a o ka mea i ike ia ia malaila: no ka mea, ua haiia mai ia'u, ua hana maalea loa oia.
23 Consider and see all his lurking holes, wherein he is bid, and return to me with the certainty of the thing, that I may go with you. And if be should even go down into the earth to hide himself, I will search him out in all the thousands of Juda.
E nana hoi oukou, a ike i na wahi pee a pau ana e pee ai, a hoi hou mai io'u nei me ka oiaio, a e hele pu au me oukou; a ina e noho ana oia ma ka aina, e imi au ia ia mawaena o na tausani a pau o ka Iuda.
24 And they arose and went to Ziph before Saul: and David and his men were in the desert of Maon, in the plain at the right hand of Jesimon.
Ku ae la lakou, a hele ma Zipa mamua o Saula: a o Davida a me kona poe kanaka aia iloko o ka waonahele o Maona i ka papu ma ka aoao hema o Iesimona.
25 Then Saul and his men went to seek him: and it was told David, and forthwith he went down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon: and when Saul had heard of it he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
Hele aku la o Saula a me kona poe kanaka e imi ia ia; a hai aku lakou ia Davida, a iho mai ia i ka pohaku, a noho ma ka waonahele o Maona. A lohe o Saula, hahai aku la ia mahope o Davida ma ka waonahele o Maona.
26 And Saul went on this side of the mountain: and David and his men were on the other side of the mountain: and David despaired of being able to escape from the face of Saul: and Saul and his men encompassed David and his men round about to take them.
A hele aku la o Saula ma keia aoao o ka mauna, aia o Davida a me kona poe kanaka ma kela aoao o ka mauna: hele koke aku la o Davida no ka makau ia Saula; no ka mea, ua hoopuni o Saula a me kona poe kanaka ia Davida a me kona poe kanaka e hopu ia lakou.
27 And a messenger came to Saul, saying: Make haste to come, for the Philistines have poured in themselves upon the land.
A hele mai he elele ia Saula, i mai la, E wikiwiki oe, e hoi mai; no ka mea, ua hiki mai ko Pilisetia ma ka aina.
28 Wherefore Saul returned, leaving the pursuit of David, and went to meet the Philistines. For this cause they called that place, the Rock of division.
No ia mea, hoi aku la o Saula mai ka hahai ana ia Davida, a hele ku e aku la i ko Pilisetia: a kapa aku la lakou i ka inoa o ia wahi, o Selahamalekota.
29 Then David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds of Engaddi.
Pii ae la o Davida mailaila aku, a noho iloko o na wahi paa ma Enegedi.
