2 Samuel 19
1 Soon Joab was told, “The king is crying and mourning for Absalom.”
U A haiia'ku ia Ioaba, Aia ke uwe nei ke alii, a ke kanikau nei oia no Abesaloma.
2 Victory that day was turned into mourning for the whole army, because they were told, “The king is grieving for his son.”
Ia la, lilo ae la ke ola i mea e kanikau ai o na kanaka a pau: no ka mea, ua lohe na kanaka ia la, i ka haiia mai o ka uwe ana o ke alii no kana keiki.
3 They stole back into town that day like defeated people steal in, ashamed of running away from the battle.
A hoi malu aku la na kanaka iloko o ke kulanakauhale ia la, e like me na kanaka hilahila e holo malu aku, ke hee lakou i ke kaua.
4 The king held his face in his hands and sobbed loudly, “My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”
Aka, o ke alii, pulou iho la ia i kona maka, a uwe aku la ke alii me ka leo nui, E kuu keiki e Abesaloma e! e Abesaloma kuu keiki, kuu keiki e!
5 Then Joab went inside and told the king, “Today you have humiliated all your men who have saved your life, and the lives of your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your concubines.
Hele aku la o Ioaba iloko o ka hale i ke alii, i aku la, Ua hoohilahila oe i keia la i na maka o kau poe kauwa a pau, o ka poe nana i malama i kou ola, a me ke ola o kau mau keikikane, a me kau mau kaikamahine, a me ke ola o kau mau wahine, a me ke ola o kau mau haiawahine;
6 You did this by loving those who hate you and hating those who love you. Today you have made it plain that the commanders and the men don't mean anything to you. Today I'm sure that you'd be quite happy if Absalom was alive and all of us were dead!
Ma kou aloha ana aku i kou poe enemi, a me ka hoowahawaha ana i kou poe hoalauna: no ka mea, ua hoike mai oe i keia la, he mea ole ia oe na alii a me na kauwa: a ke ike nei au i keia la, ina paha i ola o Abesaloma, a make makou a pau i keia la, ina ua oluolu io no oe.
7 So get up, go out, and thank your men. I swear by the Lord that if you don't, you won't have a man left by tonight. That will be far worse for you than all the disasters you've had from your youth until now.”
Ano hoi, e ala'e oe, e hele iwaho, a e olelo hooluolu aku i kau poe kauwa. Ke hoohiki aku nei au ma o Iehova la, a i hele ole aku oe, aole e noho kekahi me oe i neia po; a e ino loa aku ia mea, i na mea ino a pau i hiki mai iou la mai kou wa opiopio a hiki ia nei.
8 So the king got up and went to sit at the town gate. Everybody was told: “Look, the king is sitting at the town gate.” They all came to see the king. In the meantime the Israelites had run away and gone to their homes.
Alaila ala'e la ke alii, a noho iho la ma ka ipuka o ka pa. Hai aku la lakou i na kanaka a panu, Aia hoi, ke noho mai la ke alii ma ka ipuka. A hele mai la na kanaka a pau imua o ke alii; no ka mea, ua mahuka aku la ka Iseraela o kela kanaka keia kanaka a pau i kona halelewa iho.
9 Everyone among the tribes of Israel were arguing with each other, saying, “The king rescued us from the persecution of our enemies, he saved us from the Philistines, but now he's had to run from the country because of Absalom.
Hoopaapaa ae la na kanaka a pau ma na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, i ae la, Ua hoola mai ke alii ia kakou mai ka lima ae o ko kakou poe enemi, a ua hoopakele hoi oia ia kakou mai ka lima ae o ko Pilisetia: ano hoi, ua holo aku no ia mawaho o ka aina no Abesaloma.
10 Now Absalom, the man we chose to be our king by anointing him, he's died in battle. Why don't we do something and invite King David to come back?”
A o Abesaloma ka mea a kakou i poni ai i alii maluna o kakou, ua make ia iloko o ke kaua: heaha hoi ka mea e olelo ole aku ai oukou i kekahi huaolelo no ka hoihoi ana mai i ke alii?
11 King David sent this message to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests: “Tell the elders of Judah, ‘Are you going to be the last people to bring the king back to his palace, since the king has heard that all of Israel wants it?
Hoouna aku la o Davida ke alii io Zadoka la a me Abiatara na kahuna, i aku la, E olelo aku olua i na lunakahiko o ka Iuda, e i aku, No ke aha la e lohi loa nei oukou i ka hoihoi ana mai i ke alii i kona hale? no ka mea, ua hiki mai ka olelo a ka Iseraela a pau i ke alii, a i kona ohana.
12 You are my brothers, my own flesh and blood. Why should you be the last ones to want to bring the king back?’
Oukou no na hoahanau o'u, oukou no ko'u mau iwi a me ko'u io; no ke aha hoi e lohi loa nei oukou i ka hoihoi aku i ke alii?
13 Tell Amasa, ‘Aren't you my flesh and blood too? May God punish me very severely if from now on you're not the commander of my army instead of Joab!’”
E i aku hoi olua ia Amasa, Aole anei oe no kuu iwi a me kuu io? Pela ke Akua e hana mai ai ia'u, a nui aku, i ole oe ka lunakaua mau imua o'u ma ko Ioaba wahi.
14 Amasa convinced all the people of Judah to unitedly support David, so they sent a message to the king: “Please come back, you and everyone with you.”
Hoohuli mai la kela i ka naau o na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda, e like me ko ke kanaka hookahi; nolaila, olelo aku la lakou i ke alii, E hoi hou mai oe a me au mau kauwa a pau.
15 The king began his journey back, and when he arrived at the Jordan, the men of Judah met him at Gilgal to help him cross the river.
Alaila hoi mai la ke alii, a hiki mai i Ioredane. A hele mai la ka Iuda i Gilegala e halawai me ke alii, a e alakai i ke alii ma keia aoao o Ioredane.
16 Shimei, son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, hurried down with the men of Judah to meet King David.
Ao Simei ke keiki a Gera, he mamo na Beniamina no Bahurima, wikiwiki ae la ia a iho pu aku la me na kanaka o ka Iuda e halawai me ke alii me Davida.
17 With him were one thousand men from the tribe of Benjamin, including Ziba, servant of Saul's family, as well as Ziba's fifteen sons and twenty servants. They rushed down to the Jordan to meet the king.
Me ia pu na kanaka o ka Beniamina he tausani, a o Ziba ke kauwa na ka ohana a Saula, a me ia hoi na keikikane ana he umikumamalima, a me na kauwa ana he iwakalua: hele mai la lakou ma keia aoao o Ioredane imua o ke alii.
18 They crossed at the ford to bring the king's household over and whatever else he wanted. Shimei crossed the Jordan and fell facedown before the king.
A holo ae la ka waapa e alo mai i ko ka hale o ke alii, a e lawelawe hoi i ka mea a ke alii i manao ai he pono. Moe iho la o Simei ke keiki a Gera imua o ke alii i kona pae ana i keia aoao o Ioredane.
19 “Your Majesty, please forgive me and disregard the wrong that I, your servant, did when Your Majesty left Jerusalem. Please forget all about it.
I mai la ia i ke alii, mai manao hewa mai kuu haku ia'u, aole hoi e hoomauhala i ka mea a kau kauwa i hana kolohe aku ai i ka la a kuu haku a ke alii i puka mai ai iwaho o Ierusalema, i waiho ai ke alii ia mea maloko o kona naau.
20 I, your servant, recognize that I have sinned. But look! Today I'm the first from any of the tribes of Joseph to come down and meet Your Majesty.”
No ka mea, ke ike nei kau kauwa; ua hana hewa no wau: nolaila, eia au i hele mai nei, ka mea mua o ka ohana a Iosepa, i iho mai e halawai me kuu haku me ke alii.
21 Abishai, son of Zeruiah, said, “Shouldn't Shimei be executed for this, because he cursed the Lord's anointed one?”
Olelo mai la o Abisai ke keiki a Zeruia, i mai la, Aole anei e make o Simei ia mea; no ka mea, ua hoino mai ia i ka Iehova mea i poniia?
22 But David replied, “What's that got do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Do you want to be my enemies today? Is this a day to execute anybody in Israel? Aren't I certain that today I'm the king of Israel once more?”
I aku la o Davida, Heaha ka'u ia olua, e na keiki a Zeruia, i ku e mai ai olua ia'u i keia la? E make anei kekahi kanaka i keia la iloko o ka Iseraela? Aole anei au i ike, owau no ke alii i keia la maluna o ka Iseraela?
23 David turned to Shimei and swore an oath to him, “You're not going to die.”
I aku la ke alii ia Simei, Aole oe e make: a hoohiki aku la ke alii ia ia.
24 Then Mephibosheth, Saul's grandson, went to meet the king. He had refused to look after his feet or trim his mustache or have his clothes washed from the day the king left until the day of his peaceful return.
Iho aku la hoi o Mepiboseta ka moopuna a Saula e halawai me ke alii; aole ia i hooponopono i kona mau wawae, aole i hoomaikai i kona umiumi, aole no hoi i holoi i kona kapa, mai ka la i hele aku ai ke alii, a hiki i ka la i hoi hou mai ai ia me ka malu.
25 When he arrived from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king asked him, “Why didn't you come with me, Mephibosheth?”
A hiki mai la ia i Ierusalema e halawai me ke alii, i aku la ke alii ia ia, E Mepiboseta, heaha kau i hele pu ole ai me au?
26 Mephibosheth answered, “Your Majesty, my servant Ziba tricked me. I told him, ‘Saddle up my donkey so I can ride her and leave with the king,’ because you know that I'm lame.
I mai la kela, E kuu haku, e ke alii, ua hoopunipuni mai kuu kauwa ia'u: no ka mea, i aku la kau kauwa, e hoee aku no au i ka noho maluna o ka hoki no'u, i holo ai au maluna, a hele aku i ke alii; no ka mea, he oopa kau kauwa.
27 Ziba has misrepresented me, your servant, to Your Majesty. However, Your Majesty is like an angel of God, so do what you think best.
A ua alapahi kela i kau kauwa imua o kuu haku o ke alii; a ua like kuu haku ke alii me ka anela o ke Akua; nolaila, e hana aku oe i ka mea pono ma kou maka.
28 All my grandfather's family could only expect death from Your Majesty, but you included me, your servant, among those who eat at your table. So what right do I have to ask the king for anything more?”
No ka mea, ua like me na kanaka make ka poe ohana a pau o kuu kupunakane imua o kuu haku o ke alii; aka, ua hoonoho oe i kau kauwa iwaena o ka poe nana i ai ma kou papaaina iho: heaha hoi kuu pono e kahea hou aku ai i ke alii?
29 “Why talk any more about these issues of yours?” David responded. “I've decided that you and Ziba should divide the land.”
I aku la ke alii ia ia, No ke aha oe e olelo hou mai nei no kau mau mea? Ua olelo aku no wau, E hoolike a like olua me Ziba i ka aina.
30 Mephibosheth replied to the king, “Let him have it all! I'm just happy that Your Majesty has returned home in peace.”
I mai la o Mepiboseta i ke alii, Ae, e lawe kela nona i na mea a pau: no ka mea, ua hoi hou mai nei kuu haku ke alii i kona hale me ka malu.
31 Barzillai the Gileadite had also came down from Rogelim to help the king cross the Jordan and to make his way onwards from there.
Iho mai la hoi o Barezilai no Gileada mai Rogelima mai a hele pu mai me ke alii ma keia kapa o Ioredane, e alakai ia ia ma neia aoao o Ioredane.
32 Barzillai was very old, eighty years of age, and because he was a very wealthy man, he had provided the king with food while he was staying in Mahanaim.
He kanaka elemakule o Barezilai; he kanawalu kona mau makahiki: a hanai aku la ia i ke alii i kona wa i noho ai ma Mahanaima; no ka mea, he kanaka koikoi nui loa ia.
33 The king said to Barzillai, “Cross the Jordan with me, and I will provide for you while you stay with me in Jerusalem.”
I aku la ke alii ia Barezilai, E hele pu oe me au, a e hanai aku no au ia oe ma Ierusalema.
34 “How much longer do you think I have to live so I could go to Jerusalem and stay there with the king?” Barzillai replied.
I mai la o Barezilai i ke alii, Ehia mau la o kuu ola e koe, i pii aku ai au me ke alii i Ierusalema?
35 “I'm already eighty. I don't enjoy anything anymore. I can't taste what I eat or drink. I can't hear when people sing. There's no point for me, your servant, to be another burden to Your Majesty!
He kanawalu na makahiki o'u i keia la; e hiki anei ia'u ke ike mawaena o ka pono a me ka hewa? Ua ono anei i kau kauwa ka'u mea e ai ai, a me ka'u mea e inu ai? e lohe hou anei au i ka leo o na kane mea mele a me na wahine mea mele? no ke aha hoi e hookaumaha aku ai kau kauwa i kuu haku i ke alii?
36 For your servant to cross the Jordan River with the king is enough reward for me!
E hele ana kau kauwa ma o iki aku o Ioredane me ke alii: no ke aha hoi e hoouku mai ai ke alii ia'u ia uku nui?
37 Then let your servant go back home, that I may die in my home town near the tomb of my father and mother. But here is your servant, my son Chimham. Let him cross over with Your Majesty, and treat him as you think best.”
Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe i kau kauwa e hoi hou aku ia, i make au maloko o kuu kulanakauhale, ma ka halekupapau o kuu makuakane a me uku makuwahine. Aka, eia hoi kau kauwa o Kimehama; e aho e hele pu ia me kuu haku me ke alii; e hana aku oe ia ia e like me ka mea pono ia oe.
38 The king replied, “Chimham will cross over with me, and I will treat him as you think best, and I will do for you whatever you want.”
I aku la ke alii, E hele pu o Kimehama me au, a e hana aku au ia ia ma ka mea pono ia oe: a o ka mea au e makemake mai ai ia'u, oia ka'u e hana aku ai nou.
39 So everybody crossed the Jordan first, and then the king crossed over. The king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and then Barzillai went back home.
Hele mai la na kanaka a pau ma neia aoao o Ioredane. A pae mai ke alii, alaila honi ae la ke alii ia Barezilai, a hoomaikai aku la ia ia, a hoi hou aku la ia i kona wahi.
40 Then the king carried on to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him. The whole army of Judah and half the army of Israel accompanied the king.
Alaila hele aku la ke alii i Gilegala, a hele pu aku la o Kimehama me ia: a alakai aku la na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda i ke alii, a pela hoi kekahi hapa o na kanaka o ka Iseraela.
41 But soon the men of Israel who were there came to the king and asked him, “Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, secretly take Your Majesty away and bring you and your household across the Jordan, together with all your men?”
Aia hoi, hele mai la na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela i ke alii, i aku la i ke alii, No ke aha la i aihue aku ai ko makou mau hoahanau na kanaka o ka Iuda ia oe, a ua kai mai i ke alii a me ko ka hale ona, a me na kanaka o Davida a pau me ia ma keia kapa o Ioredane?
42 The men of Judah explained to the men of Israel, “We did this because the king is one of our relatives. Why are you getting upset about this? When did we ever eat the king's food? When did we ever get anything for yourselves?”
Olelo aku la na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda i na kanaka o ka Iseraela, no ka mea, ua hookahi kona hanauna me ko makou; heaha ka oukou e huhu mai nei ia mea? Ua ai iki anei makou i ka ke alii? a ua haawi mai anei ia i ka manawalea ia makou?
43 “We've got ten shares in the king,” the men of Israel replied, “so we have a greater claim on David than you do. So why do you look down us? Weren't we the first ones to talk about bringing back our king?” But the men of Judah argued even more strongly than the men of Israel.
Olelo aku la na kanaka o ka Iseraela i na kanaka o ka Iuda, i ae la, He umi mau hakina o ke alii ka makou, a he nui aku ka makou ia Davida i ka oukou: no ke aha hoi oukou i hoowahawaha ai ia makou, i lilo ole ka makou olelo no ka hoihoi ana mai i ke alii i ka mea mua? A o ka olelo ana a na kanaka o ka Iuda, he ikaika aku ia i ka olelo ana a na kanaka o ka Iseraela.
