2 Samuel 20

1 Now there happened to be a worthless man, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bikri, a Benjamite. And he blew the trumpet, and said, "We have no share in David, nor do we have any inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel."

I LAILA kekahi kanaka hewa, o Seba kona inoa, ke keiki a Bikeri, he mamo a Beniamina: puhi aku la ia i ka pu, i aku la, Aole a kakou kuleana iloko o Davida, aole hoi he hooilina iloko o ke keiki a Iese: e hoi no kela kanaka keia kanaka a pau i kona halelewa, e ka Iseraela.

2 So all Israel deserted David and followed Sheba the son of Bikri, but the men of Judah stayed by their king, from the Jordan to Jerusalem.

Alaila pii aku la na kanaka a pau o Iseraela mai o Davida aku la, a hahai aku la lakou ia Seba ke keiki a Bikeri: aka, hoopili aku la na kanaka o ka Iuda i ko lakou alii, mai Ioredane a hiki i Ierusalema.

3 Then David came to his palace at Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women his secondary wives, whom he had left to keep the palace, and placed them under guard, and provided for them, but did not go in to them. So they were kept in confinement until the day of their death, living as widows.

Hele mai la o Davida i kona hale i Ierusalema: a lawe ae la ke alii i ua mau haiawahine la he umi ana i waiho ai e kiai i ka hale, a hahao ae la ia lakou iloko o ka halepaahao, a hanai aku la ia lakou; aka, aole ia i komo aku iloko io lakou la. Pela lakou i paa ai e noho kane ole ana, a hiki i ko lakou la make.

4 Then the king said to Amasa, "Summon the men of Judah to me within three days, and be present here yourself."

Alaila i aku la ke alii ia Amasa, E houluulu oe no'u i na kanaka o ka Iuda i na la ekolu, a e hoi hou mai maanei.

5 So Amasa went to summon Judah together, but he delayed beyond the set time that had been allotted him.

Alaila hele aku la o Amasa e houluulu i ka Iuda: aka, ua lohi kela a hala ka manawa i haawiia nona.

6 David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bikri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Now then, take your lord's servants with you and pursue after him, otherwise he will get himself to fortified cities and escape from us."

I aku la o Davida ia Abisai, Ano, e oi aku ke ino a Seba ke keiki a Bikeri e hana mai ai ia kakou mamua o ka Abesaloma: e lawe oe i na kauwa a kou haku, a e alualu aku ia ia, o loaa ia ia na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa, a hoopakele ia ia iho mai o kakou aku.

7 So there went out after him Joab's men and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the warriors. And they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bikri.

A hele aku la mamuli ona na kanaka o Ioaba, me ka poe Kereti a me ka poe Peleti, a me ka poe kanaka ikaika a pau: puka aku la lakou iwaho o Ierusalema e alualu ia Seba ke keiki a Bikeri.

8 When they were at the great stone that is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. And Joab was wearing his military attire, and over it was a belt with a dagger in its sheath fastened at his waist, and as he advanced it fell out.

Aia hiki aku lakou ma ka pohaku nui i Gibeoua, hele aku la o Amasa imua o lakou. A o ka aahu a Ioaba i aahu iho ai, ua kakuaia ia maluna ona, a maluna iho ke kaei; ua paaia ma kona puhaka ka pahikaua maloko o kona wahi: a i kona hele ana aku, haule iho la ia mea.

9 And Joab said to Amasa, "Is it well with you, my brother?" Then Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.

I aku la o Ioaba ia Amasa, E ola ana oe, e kuu hoahanau? Lalau aku la Ioaba ia Amasa ma ka umiumi me ka lima akau e honi ia ia.

10 But Amasa did not notice the sword that was in Joab's hand. And he stabbed him with it in the abdomen, so that his intestines spilled out on the ground, and he did not do it to him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba son of Bikri.

Aole i manao o Amasa i ka pahikaua ma ka lima o Ioaba: hou aku la kela ia ia me ia mea ma ka lima o ka iwiaoao, a poha mai la kona naau ma ka honua, aole ia i hou hou aku ia ia; a make aku la ia. A alualu aku la o Ioaba a me Abisai kona hoahanau ia Seba ke keiki a Bikeri.

11 And one of Joab's young men stood beside Amasa and said, "Whoever is the one that favors Joab and whoever belongs to David, follow Joab."

Ku mai la kekahi kanaka o Ioaba ma ona la, i mai la, O ka mea makemake ia Ioaba, a o ka mea no Davida, mamuli ia o Ioaba.

12 But Amasa lay covered with his blood in the midst of the road, and anyone who came by, seeing him, stopped. So when the man saw that all the people stopped, he dragged Amasa from the road into a field and threw a garment over him.

Oni ae la o Amasa maloko o ke koko, iwaena o ke kuamoo. A ike ae la ua kanaka la, ua ku malie iho la na kanaka a pau, lawe aku la oia ia Amasa mawaho o ke kuamoo i ke kula, a hohola iho la i ke kapa maluna ona, i kona ike ana ua ku malie kela kanaka keia kanaka i hele mai ma ona la.

13 When he was removed from the road, all the people followed Joab in pursuit of Sheba son of Bikri.

A laweia'ku ia mawaho o ke kuamoo, alaila hele aku la na kanaka a pau mahope o Ioaba, e alualu ia Seba ke keiki a Bikeri.

14 He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth Maacah, and all the Bikrites assembled and followed him.

Hele aku la ia ma na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, a hiki i Abela a i Betemaka; a i ka poe Beerota a pau: a ua houluuluia e la hoi lakou a hahai aku la mahope ona.

15 And all the people who were with Joab came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah. And they built a siege ramp against the city, and it stood against the rampart, and they were battering the wall so that it would collapse.

Hiki aku la lakou, a hoopuni ae la ia ia iloko o Abela-betemaka, hooahu aku la lakou i ka puu e ku pono i ke kulanakauhale, e ku ana ia ma ka pa mawaho: kui aku la ko Ioaba poe kanaka a pau i ka pa pohaku e hoohiolo ia mea malalo.

16 Then a wise woman called out from the wall, "Listen, listen. Please tell Joab to come here so that I may speak to him.

Alaila, hea mai la kekahi wahine naauao mailoko mai o ke kulanakauhale, E hoolohe mai, e hoolohe mai; ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e i aku ia Ioaba, E hele mai a kokoke, i olelo aku ai au me oe.

17 So he approached her, and the woman said, "Are you Joab?" And he replied, "I am." Then she said, "Listen to the words of your servant." And he replied, "I'm listening."

A hiki aku la ia a kokoke io na la, i mai la ka wahine, O Ioaba anei oe? I aku la ia, Owau no. Alaila i mai la kela, E hoolohe mai oe i ka olelo a kau kauwawahine. I aku la ia, Ke lohe nei au.

18 Then she said, "In the past they used to say, 'Let them inquire in Abel and in Dan whether

Olelo mai la kela, i mai la, I olelo io mai la lakou mamua, i ka i ana, He oiaio no e ninau mai ana lakou ma Abela, a pela e hooki ai.

19 that which the faithful of Israel established has been carried out.' You seek to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why do you want to swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?"

Owau no ke noho malie a me ka malama iloko o ka Iseraela: ke manao nei oe e luku mai i kekahi kulanakauhale a me ka makuwahine iloko o ka Iseraela. No ke aha la oe e hoopau ai i ka aina a Iehova i hooili mai ai?

20 Joab answered, "Far be it from me that I should swallow up or destroy.

Olelo aku la o Ioaba, i aku la, Aole loa, aole loa ia'u ia ke hoopau iho, aole loa ke luku aku.

21 That is not the case. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bikri, has rebelled against king David. Give up him alone and I will withdraw from the city." Then the woman said to Joab, "Look, his head will be thrown to you from the wall."

Aole pela ka mea; aka, he wahi kanaka no ka mauna o Eperaima, o Seba ke keiki a Bikeri ka inoa, ua hookiekie ae ia i kona lima e ku e i ke alii ia Davida: e haawi mai ia ia wale no, a e hoi hou aku no wau mai ke kulanakauhale aku. I mai la ka wahine ia Ioaba, Eia hoi, e kiolaia'ku kona poo i ou la mawaho o ka pa.

22 Then she spoke to all the city with her wise advice, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bikri and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from him, each returning to his home. And Joab went back to Jerusalem to the king.

Alaila hele aku la ua wahine la i na kanaka a pau ma kona akamai. A oki iho la lakou i ke poo o Seba ke keiki a Bikeri, a kiola aku la iwaho io Ioaba la. Hookani aku la ia i ka pu, a hoi aku la lakou, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona halelewa iho. A hoi aku la o Ioaba i Ierusalema a i ke alii.

23 Now Joab was in command of the entire army of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was in command of the Cherethites and in command of the Pelethites;

A o Ioaba, maluna no ia o ka poe kaua a pau no ka Iseraela: a o Benaia ke keiki a Iehoida, maluna no ia o ka poe Kereti a me ka poe Peleti.

24 and Adoniram was in command of the forced labor; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

A o Adorama, maluna no ia o ke auhau: a o lehosapata ke keiki a Ahiluda ke kakaumooolelo:

25 and Shisha was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

A o Seva ke kakauolelo: a o Zadoka me Abiatara na kahuna:

26 and also Ira the Jairite was David's priest.

A o Ira hoi no Iaira, kekahi alii ia no Davida.
