< 2 Samuel 2 >

1 It happened after this, that David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?" The LORD said to him, "Go up." David said, "Where shall I go up?" He said, "To Hebron."
MAHOPE iho o keia mea, ninau aku la o Davida ia Iehova, i aku la, E pii aku anei au i kekahi kulanakauhale o ka Iuda? I mai la o Iehova ia ia, E pii oe. I aku la o Davida, Ai la ihea kahi e pii aku ai au? I mai la kela, I Heberona.
2 So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite,
Hele aku la o Davida ilaila, a me kana mau wahine elua, o Ahinoama no Iezereela, a me Abigaila, ka wahine a Nabala no Karemela.
3 and the men who were with him, everyone with his household. And they lived in Hebron.
Lawe pu aku la o Davida i na kanaka ona, ka poe i noho pu me ia, o kela kanaka keia kanaka me kona ohua: a noho iho la lakou ma na kulanakauhale o Heberona.
4 Then the men of Judah came, and they anointed David king over the house of Judah. When David was told that the men of Jabesh Gilead buried Saul,
Hele mai la na kanaka o ka Iuda, a malaila lakou i poni ai ia ia i alii maluna o ka ohana a Iuda. Hai aku la hoi lakou ia Davida, i aku la, O na kanaka o Iabesa-gileada, ka poe nana i kanu ia Saula.
5 then he sent messengers to the lords of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, "May you be blessed by the LORD, since you showed loyalty towards your lord, Saul, and have buried him.
Hoouna aku la o Davida i na elele i kanaka o Iabesa-gileada, i aku la ia lakou, E alohaia mai oukou e Iehova, no ka mea, ua hana aku oukou i keia lokomaikai i ko oukou haku ia Saula, a ua kanu iho ia ia.
6 Now may the LORD show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.
Ano hoi, e hana mai o Iehova i ka lokomaikai a me ka oiaio ia oukou; owau no hoi e uku aku ia oukou i keia lokomaikai, no ka oukou hana ana i keia mea.
7 Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them."
Nolaila hoi, e hooikaikaia ko oukou mau lima; i nui ke aho o oukou: no ka mea, ua make ko oukou haku o Saula, a ua poni mai ka ohana a Iuda ia'u i alii maluna o lakou.
8 Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, had taken Ishbaal the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
Aka, o Abenera ke keiki a Nera, ke alii koa no ko Saula poe kaua, lalau aku la oia ia Iseboseta ke keikikane a Saula, a lawe aku la ia ia i Mahanaima.
9 and he made him king over Gilead, and over the Geshurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
A hoalii aku la ia ia maluna o ka Gileada, a maluna o ka Asera, maluna hoi o ko Iezereela, a maluna o ka Eperaima, a maluna o ka Beniamina, a maluna hoi o ka Iseraela a pau.
10 Ishbaal, Saul's son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
He kanaha na makahiki o Iseboseta ke keiki a Saula, i kona wa i noho ai i alii, a elua mau makahiki oia i nohoalii ai. Aka, hahai aku la ka ohana a Iuda mamuli o Davida.
11 And the time that David ruled in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
A o ka manawa i nohoalii ai o Davida ma Heberona maluna o ka ohana a Iuda, ehiku ia mau makahiki a me na malama keu eono.
12 Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbaal the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Haele mai la o Abenera ke keiki a Nera me na kanaka o Iseboseta ke keiki a Saula, mai Mahanaima mai a Gibeona.
13 Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
Hele aku la hoi o Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia, me na kanaka o Davida, a halawai pu ae la lakou ma ka punawai o Gibeona; a noho iho la lakou, o kekahi poe ma keia aoao o ka punawai, a o kela poe ma kela aoao o ka punawai.
14 Abner said to Joab, "Let the young men now arise and compete before us." Joab said, "Let them arise."
Olelo mai la o Abenera ia Ioaba, E ku ae na kanaka opionio, a e paani imua o kakou. I aku la o Ioaba, E ku ae lakou.
15 Then they arose and went over by number: twelve of the sons of Benjamin of Ishbaal the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Alaila, ku ae la a hele aku la na mea he umikumamalua o ka Beniamina no Iseboseta ke keiki a Saula, a me na kanaka o Davida he umikumamalua.
16 They each caught his opponent by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called Field of Blades, which is in Gibeon.
Lalau aku la kela mea keia mea i kona hoapaio ma ke poo, a hou aku la i kona pahikaua maloko o ka aoao o kona hoapaio, a haule pu iho la lakou a pau: nolaila, ua kapaia kela wahi, Heleka-hazurima; aia no i Gibeona.
17 The battle was very severe that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated before the servants of David.
A he kaua nui no ia la: a ua lukuia o Abenera me na kanaka o ka Iseraela imua o na kanaka o Davida.
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was as quick on his feet as a wild gazelle.
Ilaila na keikikane ekolu a Zeruia, o Ioaba, o Abisai, a o Asahela: a he mama na wawae o Asahela me he dia la o ka nahelehele.
19 Asahel pursued after Abner, and as he went he did not turn to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
Alualu aku la o Asahela ia Abenera: a i ka hele ana, aole ia i kapae ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema, mahope o Abenera.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, "Is it you, Asahel?" He answered, "It is I."
Nana ae la o Abenera mahope ona, i ae la, O Asahela anei oe? I mai la kela, Owau no.
21 Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor." But Asahel would not stop from pursuing him.
I aku la o Abenera ia ia, E haliu ae oe ma kou lima akau paha, ma kou hema paha, e lalau aku i kekahi kanaka opiopio, a e lawe nou i kona kahiko ana. Aole nae i manao o Asahela e haliu ae mai ke alualu ana ia ia.
22 Abner said again to Asahel, "Stop pursuing me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?"
Olelo hou aku la o Abenera ia Asahela, E haliu ae oe mai o'u aku nei; no ke aha la au e pepehi iho ai ia oe a ka honua? Pehea la hoi e nana pono aku ai kuu maka ia Ioaba kou kaikuaana?
23 But he refused to stop. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it came about that all who came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died, stopped there.
Aka, hoole aku la ia, aole e haliu ae: nolaila, hou aku la o Abenera i ke kumu o ka ihe malalo iho o ka lima o kona iwi aoao, a puka aku la ka ihe ma kona kua: hina iho la ia ilaila, a make iho la ma ia wahi: a o na mea a pau i hiki aku ma kahi i hina iho ai o Asahela a make, ku malie iho la lakou.
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
Alualu aku la hoi o Ioaba a me Abisai ia Abenera: a napoo iho la ka la i ko lakou hiki ana aku i ka puu o Ama imua o Gia, ma ka aoao o ka waonahele o Gibeona.
25 The sons of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and formed a single group, and stood on the top of a hill.
Hoakoakoa pu ae la na mamo a Beniamina mamuli o Abenera, a lilo ae la i hookahi poe, a ku iho la maluna pono o ka puu.
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, "Shall the sword devour forever? Do you not know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long shall it be then, before you ask the people to stop pursuing their brothers?"
Alaila, kahea mai la o Abenera ia Ioaba, i mai la, E ai mau no anei ka pahikaua? Aole anei oe e ike, he mea awaawa no ia ma ka hopena? Pehea la ka loihi, a kena aku oe i na kanaka e uhoi aku mai ke alualu ana ae i ko lakou poe hoahanau?
27 Joab said, "As the LORD lives, if you had not spoken, surely the people would not have given up the pursuit of their brothers until the morning."
I aku la o Ioaba, Ma ko ke Akua ola ana, ina aole oe i olelo mai, ina ua hoi aku kela kanaka keia kanaka i kakahiaka nei mai ke alualu ana aku i kona hoahanau.
28 So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stopped, and no longer chased after Israel, and they no longer fought.
Alaila puhi aku la o Ioaba i ka pu, a ku malie iho la na kanaka a pau, aole i alualu hou aku ia lakou, aole hoi i kaua hou aku lakou.
29 Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and marched the whole morning, and came to Mahanaim.
Haele aku la o Abenera me na kanaka ona ma kahi papu, a hele aku la ma kela aoao o Ioredane, a haele ae la ma Biterona a pau, a hiki aku i Mahanaima.
30 Joab returned from pursuing Abner. And when he had gathered all the people together, there were missing from David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
Hoi hou aku la o Ioaba mai ke alualu ana ia Abenera: a hoakoakoa ae la i na kanaka a pau, ua nalo iho na kanaka o Davida he umikumamaiwa a me Asahela.
31 But the servants of David had struck of the people of Benjamin, from the men of Abner, three hundred and sixty men who died.
Aka, ua pepehi aku na kanaka o Davida i ka Beniamina a me na kanaka o Abenera, a make iho la na kanaka ekolu haneri a me kanaono.
32 They took up Asahel, and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
Lawe ae la lakou ia Asahela, a kanu iho la ia ia iloko o ka hale kupapau o kona makuakane i Betelehema. Haele aku la o Ioaba me na kanaka ona ia po a pau, a hiki aku la i Heberona i ka wanaao.
