Kings II 14
1 And Joab the son of Saruia knew that the heart of the king was toward Abessalom.
IKE ae la o Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia, ua hele aku ka naau o ke alii io Abesaloma la.
2 And Joab sent to Thecoe, and took thence a cunning woman, and said to her, Mourn, I pray you, and put on mourning apparel, and anoint you not with oil, and you shall be as a woman mourning for one that is dead thus for many days.
Hoouna aku la o Ioaba i Tekoa, a lawe mai la i kekahi wahine akamai mailaila mai, i aku la ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoolike oe ia oe iho me ka mea kanikau, a e aahu oe i ke kapa makena, aole hoi e kahinu i ka aila: e like oe me ka wahine i kanikau loa no ka mea i make.
3 And you shall go to the king, and speak to him according to this word. And Joab put the words in her mouth.
A e hele aku i ke alii, a penei e olelo aku ai. Alaila, hai aku la o Ioaba i na huaolelo no kona waha.
4 So the woman of Thecoe went in to the king and fell upon her face to the earth, and did him obeisance, and said, Help, O king, help.
A i ka wa i olelo aku ai ka wahine o Tekoa i ke alii, moe iho la ia ilalo kona alo, hoomaikai aku la i ke alii, i aku la, E hoola mai, e ke alii.
5 And the king said to her, What is the matter with you? And she said, I am indeed a widow woman, and my husband is dead.
I mai la ke alii ia ia, Heaha kau? I aku la kela, He wahinekanemake au, ua make kuu kane.
6 And moreover your handmaid had two sons, and they fought together in the field, and there was no one to part them; and the one struck the other his brother, and killed him.
He mau keikikane elua a kau kauwawahine, hakaka ae la laua ma ke kula, aohe mea hoi nana e uwao, a hahau aku la kekahi i kona hoa, a make iho la ia.
7 And behold the whole family rose up against your handmaid, and they said, Give up the one that struck his brother, and we will put him to death for the life of his brother, whom he killed, and we will take away even your heir: so they will quench my coal that is left, so as not to leave my husband remnant or name on the face of the earth.
Aia hoi, ua ku e mai ka ohana a pau i kau kauwawahine; i mai lakou, E haawi mai oe i ka mea nana i hahau i kona hoahanau, i pepehi aku makou ia ia, no ke ola o kona hoahanau ana i pepehi aku ai; a e hoopau no hoi makou i ka hooilina: pela no lakou e kinai ai i kuu lanahu ahi i koe, aole no hoi lakou e waiho no ka'u kane i inoa, aole hoi koena maluna o ka honua.
8 And the king said to the woman, Go in peace to your house, and I will give commandment concerning you.
I mai la ke alii i ua wahine la, O hoi oe i kou hale, a e kauoha aku hoi au nou.
9 And the woman of Thecoe said to the king, On me, my lord, O king, and on my father's house [be] the iniquity, and the king and his throne [be] guiltless.
Olelo aku la ka wahine o Tekoa i ke alii, E kuu haku, e ke alii, maluna iho o'u ka hala, a maluna hoi o ka ohana a ko'u makua: a e hala ole ke alii a me kona nohoalil
10 And the king said, Who was it that spoke to you? you shall even bring him to me, and [one] shall not touch him any more.
I mai la ke alii, O ka mea olelo mai ia oe, e kai mai ia ia io'u nei, aole hoi ia e hoopa hou aku ia oe.
11 And she said, Let now the king remember concerning his Lord God in that the avenger of blood is multiplied to destroy, and let them not take away my son. And he said, [As] the lord lives, not a hair of your son shall fall to the ground.
Alaila, i aku la kela, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoomanao ke alii ia Iehova i kou Akua, i ole e luku hou aku ka mea hoopai koko, o make ka'u keiki I mai la ke alii, Ma ko Iehova ola ana, aole o haule ka lauoho hookahi o kau keiki ma ka honua.
12 And the woman said, Let now your servant speak a word to my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
Alaila i aku la ua wahine la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe i kau kauwawahine, e hai aku ia i hookahi huaolelo i kuu haku i ke alii. I mai la kela, E hai mai
13 And the woman said, Why have you devised this thing against the people of God? or [is] this word out of the king's mouth as a transgression, so that the king should not bring back his banished?
I aku la ka wahine, No ke aha la hoi oe i manao ia mea ku e i ko ke Akua poe kanaka? no ka mea, ua olelo mai ke alii ia mea, me he mea hewa la, i ka hoihoi ole mai o ke alii ia nei i ka mea ana i hookuke aku ai.
14 For we shall surely die, and be as water poured upon the earth, which shall not be gathered up, and God shall take the life, even as he devises to thrust forth from him his outcast.
No ka mea, he oiaio no e make kakou, a ua like me ka wai i haniniia ma ka honua, aole e hiki ke ukuhi hou ia: aole no ke Akua i lawe aku i kona ola, aka, ua noonoo kela i ka mea e lilo loa ole ai ka mea ana i hookuke aku ai.
15 And now whereas I came to speak this word to my lord the king, [the reason is] that the people will see me, and your handmaid will say, Let one now speak to my lord the king, if perhaps the king will perform the request of his handmaid;
Nolaula hoi, i kuu hiki ana mai e olelo aku i kuu haku i ke alii ma ia mea, no ka hoomakau ana mai a na kanaka ia'u: i iho la kau kauwawahine, E olelo aku no wau i ke alii; malia paha e hana mai ke alii e like me ka noi ana aku a kana kauwawahine.
16 for the king will hear. Let him rescue his handmaid out of the hand of the man that seeks to cast out me and my son from the inheritance of God.
No ka mea, e lohe mai no ke alii, i hoopakele oia i kana kauwawahine i ka lima o ke kanaka nana e hoolei aku ia maua pu me kuu keiki iwaho o ka noho ana o ke Akua.
17 And the woman said, If now the word of my lord the king be gracious, —[well]: for as an angel of God, so [is] my lord the king, to hear good and evil: and the Lord your God shall be with you.
Alaila, i iho la kau kauwawahine, e lilo no ka olelo a kuu haku a ke alii i mea hoomaha: no ka mea, ua like kun haku ke alii me ka anela o ke Akua, i ka nana i ka pono a me ka hewa: nolaila, me oe pu auanei o Iehova o kou Akua.
18 And the king answered, and said to the woman, Hide not from me, I pray you, the matter which I ask you. And the woman said, Let my lord the king by all means speak.
Alaila, olelo mai la ke alii, i mai la i ua wahine la, Mai huna oe ia'u, ea, i ka mea a'u e ninau aku nei ia oe. I aku la ka wahine, E olelo mai kuu haku ke alii ano.
19 And the king said, [Is] not the hand of Joab in all this matter with you? and the woman said to the king, [As] your soul lives, my lord, O king, there is no turning to the right hand or to the left from all that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab himself charged me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your handmaid.
I mai la ke alii, Aole anei ka lima o Ioaba pu me oe i neia mea? Olelo aku la ua wahine la, i aku la, Oiaio no, e kuu haku, e ke alii, aole e hiki i kekahi ke kapae aku ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema o kekahi mea a kuu haku a ke alii i olelo mai nei: o kau kauwa o Ioaba, oia ka i kauoha mai ia'u, a hahao mai la ia mau huaolelo a pau maloko o ka waha o kau kauwawahine.
20 In order that this form of speech might come about [it was] that your servant Joab has framed this matter: and my lord is wise as [is] the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.
Pela i hana iho ai o loaba i mea e loaa'i keia ano o ka olelo: a ua naauao ko'u haku, e like me ka naauao o ka anela o ke Akua, ma ka ike i na mea a pau o ka honua nei.
21 And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done to you according to this your word: go, bring back the young man Abessalom.
I aku la ke alii ia Ioaba, aia hoi, ua hana iho nei au i keia mea, e kii aku oe, a e hoihoi mai i ke kanaka opiopio ia Abesaloma.
22 And Joab fell on his face to the ground, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Joab said, To-day your servant knows that I have found grace in your sight, my lord, O king, for my lord the king has performed the request of his servant.
Moe iho la o Ioaba ma ka honua ilalo kona alo, kulou iho la, a hoomaikai aku la i ke alii. I aku la o Ioaba, Ke ike nei au i keia la, ua loaa ia'u ke aloha imua o kou maka, e kuu haku, e ke alii, no ka mea, ua hooko mai ke alii i ka mea a kana kauwa i noi aku ai.
23 And Joab arose, and went to Gedsur, and brought Abessalom to Jerusalem.
Ku ae la o Ioaba, a hele aku la i Gesura, a lawe mai la ia Abesaloma i Ierusalema.
24 And the king said, Let him return to his house, and not see my face. And Abessalom returned to his house, and saw not the king's face.
I aku la ke alii, E kipa ae ia i kona hale iho, aole ia e ike mai i kuu maka. A hoi ae la o Abesaloma i kona hale, aole i ike aku i na maka o ke alii.
25 And there was not a man in Israel so very comely as Abessalom: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
A iloko o ka Iseraela a pau, aole he kanaka e ae i mahalo nui ia e like me Abesaloma no kona maikai: mai ka poli wawae ona a hiki iluna i ka piko o kona poo, aohe ona kina iki.
26 And when he polled his head, (and it was at the beginning of every year that he polled it, because it grew, heavy upon him, ) even when he polled it, he weighed the hair of his head, two hundred shekels according to the royal shekel.
Aia ako ia i kona poo, (no ka mea, i ka pau ana o kela makahiki, keia makahiki, ako ae la ia i ke oho; no ko kaumaha o ke oho maluna ona, nolaila ia i ako ia mea; ) kaupaona iho la ia i ke oho o kona poo, elua haneri sekela, e like me Ka ke alii hookau ana.
27 And there were born to Abessalom three sons and one daughter, and her name was Themar: she was a very beautiful woman, and she becomes the wife of Roboam son of Solomon, and she bears to him Abia.
Ua hanau na Abesaloma ekolu keikikane, a hookahi kaikamahine, o Tamara kona inoa; he wahine maikai hoi ma kona helehelena.
28 And Abessalom remained in Jerusalem two full years, and he saw not the king's face.
Pela i noho ai o Abesaloma ma Ierusalema, elua makahiki okoa, aole hoi ia i ike aku i na maka o ke alii.
29 And Abessalom sent to Joab to bring him in to the king, and he would not come to him: and he sent to him the second time, and he would not come.
Nolaila, kena aku la o Abesaloma e kii ia loaba, e hoouna aku ia ia e hele i ke alii; aole nae ia i hele mai io na la; a hoouna hou aku la ia, o ka lua ia o ke kii ana, aole hoi ia i hele mai.
30 And Abessalom said to his servants, Behold, Joab's portion in the field [is] next to mine, and he has in it barley; go and set it on fire. And the servants of Abessalom set the field on fire: and the servants of Joab come to him with their clothes tore, and they said to him, The servants of Abessalom have set the field on fire.
Alaila i aku la ia i kana poe kauwa, Aia ka mahinaai a loaba e kokoke ana i kuu wahi, a he bale kana ilaila; ou haele oukou e puhi i ke ahi. A puhi aku la na kauwa a Abesaloma i ua mahinaai la i ke ahi.
31 And Joab arose, and came to Abessalom into the house, and said to him, Why have your servants set my field on fire?
Alaila ku ae la o loaba, a hele mai io Abesaloma la i kona hale, i mai la ia ia, E heaha ka mea i puhi aku ai kau poe kauwa i kuu mahinaai i ke ahi.
32 And Abessalom said to Joab, Behold, I sent to you, saying, Come hither, and I will send you to the king, saying, Why did I come out of Gedsur? it would have been better for me to have remained there: and now, behold, I have not seen the face of the king; but if there is iniquity in me, then put me to death.
Olelo aku la o Abesaloma ia loaba, Aia hoi, ua hoouna aku la au iou la, me ka i ana aku, E hele mai ia nei, i hoouna aku ai au ia oe i ke alii, e i aku ia ia, Heaha ka mea i hoi mai nei au mai Gesura mai? E aho no wau e noho malaila a hiki i neia wa: ano hoi, e ae mai oe e ike aku au i na maka o ke alii; a ina he hewa iloko o'u, e pepehi mai keia ia'u.
33 And Joab went in to the king, and brought him word: and he called Abessalom, and he went in to the king, and did him obeisance, and fell upon his face to the ground, even in the presence of the king; and the king kissed Abessalom.
Alaila hele aku la o loaba i ke alii, a hai aku la ia ia: a hea mai la oia ia Abesaloma, a hele aku la ia i ke alii, a kulou iho la ia ma ka honua ilalo kona alo imua o ke alii; a honi mai la ke alii ia Abesaloma.
