2 Samuel 14
1 And when now Joab the son of Zeruyah perceived that the heart of the king was [turned] toward Abshalom:
IKE ae la o Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia, ua hele aku ka naau o ke alii io Abesaloma la.
2 Then sent Joab to Tekoa', and he fetched thence a wise woman, and said to her, Feign. I pray thee, as though thou mournest, and do put on mourning garments, and anoint thyself not with oil; but be as a woman that hath these many days been mourning for the dead.
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 thou must come to the king and speak with him after these words: and Joab put the words into 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 And the woman from Tekoa' spoke to the king, and fell on her face to the ground, and bowed herself, and said, Help, O king!
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 unto her, What aileth thee? And she said, Truly, I am a widow-woman; since 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 thy hand-maid had two sons, and they two quarreled together in the field, and there was no one between them to help [either]; so the one smote the other, and slew 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 is risen up against thy handmaid, and they said, Give up the slayer of his brother, that we may have him put to death, for the life of his brother whom he hath killed; and we will destroy also the heir: and thus they will quench my coal which is remaining, so as not to allow to my husband either name or remainder upon 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 unto the woman, Go to thy house, and I will issue [my] charge concerning thee.
I mai la ke alii i ua wahine la, O hoi oe i kou hale, a e kauoha aku hoi au nou.
9 Then said the woman of Tekoa unto the king, On me, my Lord, O king, be the iniquity, and on my father's house: and may 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, Whosoever speaketh aught unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee 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 Then said she, Let the king, I pray thee, remember the Lord thy God, so as not to suffer the avenger of the blood to cause yet more destruction, and that they may not destroy my son. And he said, As the Lord liveth, there shall not fall one hair of thy son to the earth.
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 Then said the woman, Let thy hand-maid, I pray thee, speak unto my Lord the king one word. And he said, Speak 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, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? and since the king doth speak this thing, he is as a guilty man, if the king do not permit his banished one to return home.
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 must needs die, and are as water which is spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; and yet doth God not take away life; and he deviseth thoughts, so that the banished one may not remain banished from him.
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 that I am come to speak unto my Lord the king of this thing, [happened] because the people made me afraid; and therefore thy hand-maid said, I will still speak unto the king; perhaps the king may act [in accordance with] the word of his hand-maid.
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 may hear [me], to deliver his hand-maid out of the hand of the man [that desireth] to exterminate me and my son together out of 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 thy hand-maid said, May the word of my Lord the king now become [the means of giving] repose; for as an angel of God, so is my Lord the king to comprehend the good and the bad: and may the Lord thy God be with thee.
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 Then answered the king and said unto the woman, Conceal not, I pray thee, from me a word concerning what I am going to ask thee. And the woman said, Let my Lord the king but 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 with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my Lord, O king! none can turn to the right or to the left from all that my Lord the king hath spoken; for it was thy servant Joab who hath bidden me, and it was he that hath put in the mouth of thy hand-maid all these words.
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 to change the appearance of the matter hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my Lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all that is [done] on 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 unto Joab, Behold, now, thou hast done this thing: go then, bring back the young man Abshalom.
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 bowed himself, and blessed the king: and Joab said, Today is thy servant convinced that I have found grace in thy eyes, my Lord, O king; since the king hath acted in accordance with the word of thy 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 Geshur, and brought Abshalom 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 repair to his own house, but my face he shall not see. So Abshalom repaired to his own house, but the king's face he did not see.
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 like Abshalom there was no man as handsome in all Israel, so that he was greatly praised: from the sole of his foot up to the crown of his head there was no blemish on 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 shaved off [the hair of] his head [and it was at the end of every year that he shaved it off; because it was too heavy on him, so that he had to shave it off: ] he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels by the king's weight.
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 was born unto Abshalom three sons and one daughter, whose name was Thamar: this one was a woman of handsome appearance.
Ua hanau na Abesaloma ekolu keikikane, a hookahi kaikamahine, o Tamara kona inoa; he wahine maikai hoi ma kona helehelena.
28 And Abshalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and the king's face he did not see.
Pela i noho ai o Abesaloma ma Ierusalema, elua makahiki okoa, aole hoi ia i ike aku i na maka o ke alii.
29 Abshalom sent out therefore for Joab, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him: and he sent again the second time; but 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 He thereupon said unto his servants, See, Joab's field is alongside of mine, and he hath barley there: go and set it on fire. And Abshalom's servants 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 Then did Joab arise, and he went to Abshalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set the field belonging to me 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 Abshalom said to Joab, Behold, I had sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it would be better for me were I yet there: and now let me see the king's face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him 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 So Joab went to the king, and told it to him: and he called for Abshalom, who came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Abshalom.
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.
