2 Samuel 3
1 Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
HE kaua loa no iwaena o ka ohana a Saula a me ka ohana a Davida; aka, mahuahua ae la ko Davida ikaika, a emi iho la ka ohana a Saula a nawaliwali.
2 Now sons were born to David in Hebron. And his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam of Jezreel;
Ua hanau na keikikane na Davida ma Heberona: o Amenona kana hanau mua na Ahinoama no Iezereela;
3 and his second, Daluiah, of Abigail of Carmel; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
A o kana lua, o Kileaba na Abigaila ka wahine a Nabala no Karemela: a o ke kolu, o Abesaloma ke keikikane a Maaka a ke kaikamahine a Talemai ke alii o Gesura;
4 and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, of Abital;
A o ka ha, e Adoniia ke keikikaue a Hagita; a o ka lima, o Sepatia ke keikikane a Abitala:
5 and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
A o ke ono, o Itereama na Egela ka wahine a Davida. Ua hanau keia poe na Davida ma Heberona.
6 And it came about while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner was gaining power in the house of Saul.
A i ka wa kaua iwaena o ka ohana a Saula a me ka ohana a Davida, hooikaika loa iho la o Abenera no ka ohana a Saula.
7 Now Saul had a secondary wife, Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbaal son of Saul said to Abner, "Why have you gone in to my father's secondary wife?"
A ia kekahi haiawahine a Saula, o Rizepa kona inoa, kekahi kaikamahine a Aia. I aku la o Iseboseta ia Abenera, No ke aha la oe i komo aku ai iloko i ka haiawahine a kuu makuakane?
8 Then Abner was very angry over the words of Ishbaal, and said, "Am I a dog's head? Until today, is it for myself that I have been doing all these things, showing loyalty to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David? And yet you charge me this day with a fault concerning this woman.
Alaila, huhu loa o Abenera i na huaolelo a Iseboseta, i aku la, He poo ilio no anei au nana i lokomaikai aku i ka ohana a Saula a kou makuakane, i kona poe hoahanau, a me kona poe makamaka, ma ke ku ee ana i ka Iuda i keia manawa, aole hoi au i haawi aku ia oe maloko o ka lima o Davida, i hoahewa mai ai oe ia'u i neia la no ua wahine nei?
9 God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as the LORD has sworn to David, I do not do even so to him;
Pela ke Akua e hana mai ai ia Abenera a nui aku, ke hana ole aku au ia Davida e like me ka Iehova i hoohiki aku ai ia ia;
10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba."
E lawe i ke aupuni mai ka ohana a Saula aku, a e kukulu i ka nohoalii o Davida maluna o ka Iseraela a o ka Iuda, mai Dana a hiki i Beeresaba.
11 And Ishbaal could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him.
Aole no i hiki ia ia ke pane olelo hou aku ia Abenera; no ka mea, ua makau kela ia ia.
12 Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, "Whose is the land?" and saying, "Make an agreement with me, and look, my hand shall be with you, to bring all Israel around to you."
A hoouna mai la o Abenera i na elele io Davida la, i mai la, Nowai anei ka aina? wahi ana, E hookuikahi kaua, eia hoi me oe no kuu lima, e hoohuli aku ai i ka Iseraela a pau i ou la.
13 He said, "Good. I will make a covenant with you, but one thing I require of you. That is, you shall not see my face unless you first bring Mikal, Saul's daughter, when you come to see my face."
I aku la kela, Pono; e hookuikahi no kaua: hookahi hoi a'u mea e kanoha aku nei ia oe, wahi ana, Aole oe e ike mai i kuu maka, ke lawe ole mai oe mamua ia Mikala ke kaikamahine a Saula, i kou hele ana mai e ike i kuu maka.
14 David sent messengers to Ishbaal, Saul's son, saying, "Give me my wife Mikal, whom I betrothed to myself for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines."
Hoouna aku la o Davida i na elele io Iseboseta la ke keiki a Saula, i aku la, E haawi mai oe i ka'u wahine ia Mikala, a'u i kuai ai na'u i na omaka o na Pilisetia he haneri.
15 Ishbaal sent and took her from her husband Paltiel the son of Laish.
Hoouna aku la o Iseboseta, a lawe ae la ia ia mai ke kane aku o Paletiela ke keiki a Laisa.
16 But her husband went with her, weeping behind her, as far as Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, "Go back." So he went back.
Hele pu mai la kana kane me ia e uwe ana mahope iho ona, a hiki i Bahurima. Alaila, i aku o Abenera ia ia, O hoi. A hoi aku la ia.
17 Abner advised the elders of Israel, saying, "For some time you have wanted David to be king over you.
Kamailio aku la o Abenera me na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, i aku la, Ua imi aku oukou ia Davida i na manawa mamua i alii maluna o oukou.
18 Now then do it, for the LORD has spoken of David, saying, 'By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.'"
Eia no ka manawa: no ka mea, ua olelo mai o Iehova no Davida, i ka i ana mai, Ma ka lima o ka'u kauwa o Davida e hoola au i ko'u poe kanaka i ka Iseraela, mailoko mai o ka lima o ka poe Pilisetia, a mailoko mai hoi o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi a pau.
19 And Abner also spoke privately to the sons of Benjamin. And Abner also spoke privately to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house of Benjamin.
Olelo aku la hoi o Abenera maloko o na pepeiao o ka Beniamina: hele aku la hoi o Abenera e hai aku maloko o na pepeiao o Davida ma Heberona i na mea a pau a ka Iseraela i makemake ai, a me na mea a pau i makemake ai ka Beniamina.
20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.
A hiki aku la o Abenera i Heberona io Davida la, oia me na kanaka he iwakalua. Hana iho la o Davida i ahaaina na Abenera a na ka poe kanaka me ia.
21 Abner said to David, "I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires." David sent Abner away; and he left in peace.
I aku la o Abenera ia Davida, E ku ae au a hele aku e houluulu i ka Iseraela a pau i kuu haku i ke alii, i hana lakou i berita me oe, i nohoalii hoi oe maluna o na mea a pau a kou naau e makemake nei. Hoihoi aku la o Davida ia Abenera, a hele aku la ia me ka maluhia.
22 Look, the servants of David and Joab were returning from a raid, and brought in a great spoil with them. But Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he left in peace.
Aia hoi, hele mai la na kanaka o Davida me Ioaba mai ke kaua mai, a lawe pu mai la me lakou i ka waiwai pio he nui: aole hoi o Abenera me Davida i Heberona; no ka mea, ua hoihoi kela ia ia, a ua hele aku ia me ka maluhia.
23 When Joab and all the army who was with him had come, they told Joab, saying, "Abner the son of Ner came to David, and he has sent him away, and he left in peace."
A hiki mai la o Ioaba a me ka poe kaua a pau pu me ia, hai mai la lakou ia Ioaba, i ka i ana mai, I hele mai nei o Abenera ke keiki a Nera i ke alii, a ua hoihoi aku kela ia ia, a ua hala aku ia me ka maluhia.
24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, "What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away? Now he has gone.
Alaila, hele aku la o Ioaba i ke alii, i aku la, Heaha kau i hana'i? Aia hoi, ua hele mai nei o Abenera; heaha hoi kau i hoihoi aku ai ia ia, a ua hala loa kela?
25 Don't you know the evil ways of Abner the son of Ner? He came to deceive you and to observe your movements and to learn everything that you are doing."
Ua ike oe ia Abenera ke keiki a Nera, i hele mai nei ia e hoopunipuni ia oe, a e ike i kou hele ana aku a me kou hoi ana mai, a o ike hoi i ua mea a pau au e hana nei.
26 When Joab had left David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.
A hoi mai o Ioaba iwaho, mai o Davida mai, kena aku la ia i na kanaka e kii ia Abenera, na lakou ia i hoihoi mai, mai ka punawai mai o Sira: aole hoi i ike o Davida.
27 When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the abdomen, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
A hoi hou mai la o Abenera i Heberona, kono aku la o Ioaba ia ia iwaena o ka ipuka e olelo malie aku ia ia, ilaila kela i hou aku ai ia ia malalo iho o ka lima o ka iwiaoao, a make iho la ia, no ke koko o Asahela o kona kaikaina.
28 Afterward, when David heard it, he said, "I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD now and forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
Mahope iho, a lohe ae la o Davida, i aku la ia, Imua o Iehova ua hala ole mau loa au a me kuu aupuni i ke koko o Abenera ke keiki a Nera.
29 May it whirl over the head of Joab, and on all his father's house. Let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has an issue, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread."
E kau aku no ia maluna o ke poo o Ioaba, maluna hoi o ka ohana a pau o kona makuakane; aole hoi e nelo kekahi o ka ohana a Ioaba i ka mai puha, a i ka lepera paha, a i ke kanikookoo paha, a i ka haule paha maluna o ka pahikaua, a i ka ai ole paha.
30 So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
Pela o Ioaba me Abisai kona kaikaina i pepehi ai ia Abenera; no ka mea, ua pepehi iho oia i ko laua kaikaina ia Asahela i ke kaua ana ma Gibeona.
31 David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, "Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner." And King David followed the coffin.
Olelo aku la o Davida ia Ioaba a me ka poe a pau me ia, E haehae iho i ko oukou kapa, a e kaei oukou i ke kapa inoino, a e kanikau imua o Abenera. A o ke alii o Davida i hele mahope o ka manele.
32 They buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
Kanu iho la lakou ia Abenera ma Heberona: hookiekie ae la ke alii i kona leo iluna ma ka hale kupapau o Abenera, a uwe iho la na kanaka a pau.
33 The king lamented for Abner, and said, "Should Abner die as a fool dies?
Kanikau iho la ke alii maluna o Abenera, i aku la, Ua make no anei o Abenera e like me ka make o ka naaupo?
34 Your hands were not bound in chains, your feet were not put into fetters. As a man falls before the ruthless, so you fell." All the people wept again over him.
Aole i nakiikiiia kou mau lima, aole hoi i paa na wawae i ka hao; me ka haule ana o kekahi imua o na kanaka hewa, pela no oe i haule iho ai. Uwe hou iho la na kanaka a pau maluna ona.
35 Then all the people came to persuade David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, "God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or anything else, until the sun goes down."
A hele mai na kanaka a pau e koi aku ia Davida e ai i ka ai oiai ka la: hoohiki aku la Davida, i aku la, Pela ke Aku a e hana mai ai ia'u a nui aku, ke hoao iho au i ka berena a i kekahi mea e ae, a napoo ka la.
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; just as everything the king did pleased the people.
Nana aku la na kanaka a pau, a ua oluolu lakou ia mea: no ka mea, ma na mea a pau a ke alii i hana'i, ua oluolu na kanaka a pau ilaila.
37 So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to kill Abner the son of Ner.
No ka mea, ua ike na kanaka a pau, a me ka Iseraela a pau ia la, aole no ke alii ka pepehi ia Abenera ke keiki a Nera.
38 The king said to his servants, "Do you not realize that a leader and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?
Olelo aku la ke alii i kana poe kauwa, Aole anei oukou i ike, he kanaka nui i haule i neia la iwaena o ka Iseraela.
39 I am this day weak, though anointed king. And these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too brutal for me. May the LORD reward the evildoer according to his wickedness."
Ano hoi, ua nawaliwali au i poniia i alii; a o keia mau kanaka na keiki a Zeruia, ua oi aku ko laua koikoi i ko'u: e hoouku mai no nae o Iehova i ka mea hana ino e like me koua hewa.
