1 Kings 2
1 When David [knew that he] was about to die, he gave these final instructions to his son Solomon:
HOOKOKOKE mai la hoi na la o Davida e make ai; a kauoha mai la oia ia Solomona i kana keiki, i mai la,
2 “I am about to die [EUP], like everyone else on earth does. Be courageous and conduct yourself as an adult should.
Ke hele nei au i ka aoao o ko ka honua a pau: e hooikaika oe, a e hookanaka hoi;
3 Do what Yahweh our God tells you to do. Conduct yourself as he wants you to do. Obey all of his laws and commands and precepts and instructions that are written in the laws that Moses [gave us]. Do this in order that you will prosper in all that you do and wherever you go.
A e malama oe i ke kauoha a Iehova kou Akua, e hele ma kona mau aoao, me ka malama i kona mau kapu, a me kana mau kauoha, a me kona mau kanawai, a me kana mau olelo me ia i kakauia'i ma ke kanawai ia Mose, i pomaikai oe ma na mea a pau au e hana aku ai, a i na wahi a pau e huli ae ai oe:
4 If you continually do that, Yahweh will do what he promised me: He said, ‘If your descendants do what I tell them to do, and faithfully obey my commands with all their inner beings, they will always be [LIT] the ones who will rule [MTY] Israel.’
I hooko iho ai o Iehova i kana olelo ana i olelo mai ai no'u, i ka i ana mai, Ina e malama kau mau keiki i ko lakou aoao, e hele imua o'u me ka oiaio, me ko lakou naau a pau, a me ko lakou uhane a pau, aole oe e nele i ke kanaka ole (wahi ana) e noho maluna o ka nohoalii o ka Iseraela.
5 “There is something else [that I want you to do]. You know what Joab did to me. He killed my two army commanders, Abner and Amasa. He murdered them violently [MTY] during a time of peace, pretending that it was a time of war. Those two men (were innocent/had not done what was wrong). But Joab [killed them and] their blood to stain his belt and his sandals.
A ua ike no hoi oe i ka mea a Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia i hana mai ai ia'u, a me ka mea ana i hana'ku ai i na luna elua o ka poe koa o ka Iseraela, ia Abenera ke keiki a Nera, a ia Amasa ke keiki a Ietera; ua pepehi oia ia laua, a ua hookahe oia i ke koko o ke kaua i ka wa maluhia, ua kau hoi oia i ke koko o ke kaua ma kona kaei i kaeiia'i kona puhaka, a ma kona mau kamaa i hookomoia'i kona mau wawae.
6 Because you are wise, do to him what you think is best [for you to do], but do not allow him to become old [MTY] and then die [IDM] peacefully. (Sheol h7585)
Nolaila e hana oe mamuli o kou akamai, i ole ai e iho maluhia kona poohina i ka luakupapau. (Sheol h7585)
7 “But be kind to the sons of Barzillai, the man from [the] Gilead [region], and be sure that they always have enough food to eat [MTY]. Do that because Barzillai helped me when I was running away from your older brother Absalom.
Aka, e lokomaikai aku oe i na keiki a Barezilai no Gileada, o lakou kekahi o ka poe e ai ana ma kou papaaina; no ka mea, pela lakou i hele mai ai ia'u i ko'u hee ana imua o Abesaloma kou hoahanau.
8 Also, [you remember] Gera’s son Shimei from Bahurim [town] in the area where the descendants of Benjamin live. [You know what he did to me]. He cursed me terribly on the day I [left Jerusalem and] went to Mahanaim [town]. But when he later came down to see me at the Jordan [River], I solemnly promised, while Yahweh listened [MTY], that I would not cause him to be executed.
Aia hoi me oe o Simei ke keiki a Gera ka Beniamina no Bahurima, ua hoino wale mai oia ia'u me ka olelo hoino loa i ka la i hele aku ai au i Mahanaima; aka, ua hele ae ia e halawai me au ma Ioredane, a hoohiki aku la au nona, ma o Iehova la, i aku la, Aole au e pepehi aku ia oe me ka pahikaua.
9 But now you must [LIT] surely punish him. You are a wise man, so you will know what you should do to him. He is an old man [MTY], but be sure that he [loses/sheds] a lot of blood when you kill him [MTY].” (Sheol h7585)
Ano hoi, mai hoapono oe ia ia, no ka mea, he kanaka naauao no oe, a ua ike oe i kau mea e pono ai ke hana aku ia ia; aka, e hooiho oe i kona poohina ilalo i ka luakupapau me ke koko. (Sheol h7585)
10 Then David died [EUP] and was buried in [that part of Jerusalem which was called] ‘The City of David’.
Alaila hiamoe iho la o Davida me kona mau makua, a ua kanuia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida.
11 David had been the king of Israel for 40 years: He ruled for seven years in Hebron and for 33 years in Jerusalem.
A o na la i alii ai o Davida maluna o ka Iseraela he kanaha mau makahiki ia; ma Heberona i alii ai oia i na makahiki ehiku, a ma Ierusalema i alii ai oia i na makahiki he kanakolukumamakolu.
12 Solomon became the ruler/king [MTY] to take the place of his father David and took control of all of the kingdom.
Alaila noho iho la o Solomona maluna o ka nohoalii o kona makuakane, a ua hooku paa loa ia kona aupuni.
13 [One day] Adonijah came to Solomon’s mother Bathsheba. She said to him, “Have you come because you want things to go well?” He replied, “Yes.”
Alaila hele mai la o Adoniia ke keiki a Hagita io Bateseba la ka makuwahine o Solomona. Ninau aku la oia, Ua hele mai nei anei oe me ke aloha? I mai la ia, Me ke aloha.
14 But then he said, “I have something to ask you to do.” She said, “Tell me [what you want me to do].”
A olelo mai la hoi ia, He wahi manao ka'u e olelo aku ai ia oe. A i aku la kela, E olelo mai.
15 He said, “You know that all the Israeli people expected me to be their king [because I am David’s oldest surviving son]. But that did not happen. Instead, my [younger] brother became king, because that is what Yahweh wanted.
Olelo mai la ia, Ua ike no oe, ia'u no ke aupuni, a ua kau na maka o ka Iseraela a pau ia'u i alii ae au; aka, ua hoohuliia ke aupuni, a ua lilo ae nei i ko'u hoahanau: no ka mea, nona no ia, mai Iehova mai.
16 Now I have one thing that I ask you to do. Please do not refuse to do it.” She replied, “Tell me [what you want me to do].”
Ano la hoi, hookahi mea a'u e noi ai ia oe, mai hoole mai oe ia'u. I aku la oia ia ia, E olelo mai no.
17 He said, “Please ask King Solomon to give to me Abishag, the woman from Shunem [town], to be my wife. [I am sure that] he will not refuse.”
I mai la hoi oia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe e olelo oe ia Solomona ke alii, (no ka mea aole oia e hoole ia oe, ) e haawi mai oia ia Abisaga no Sunama ia'u i wahine.
18 Bathsheba replied, “Okay, I will speak to the king for you.”
I aku la o Bateseba, He pono, e olelo aku no wau i ke alii, nou.
19 So Bathsheba went to King Solomon, to tell him what Adonijah wanted. The king got up [from his throne] and went to greet her and bowed down to her. Then he sat on his throne again and asked someone to bring a chair for her. So she sat down at the king’s right side.
Hele aku la o Bateseba i ke alii ia Solomona, e i aku ia ia no Adoniia. Ku ae la hoi ke alii iluna e halawai me ia, a kulou iho la ia ia, a noho iho la ma kona nohoalii, a ua hoonoho iho i ka noho no ka makuwahine o ke alii; a noho iho oia ma kona lima akau.
20 Then she said, “I have one small thing which I want you to do; please do not say that you will not do it.” The king replied, “Mother, what do you want? I will not refuse you.”
Alaila i ae la ia, Hookahi mea iki ka'u e noi aku ai ia oe; mai hoole mai oe ia'u. A olelo ae la ke alii ia ia, E olelo mai no oe, e kuu makuwahine, no ka mea, aole au e hoole aku ia oe.
21 She said, “Allow Abishag to be given to your [older] brother Adonijah to be his wife.”
I ae la kela, E haawiia'ku o Abisaga no Sunama ia Adoniia kou hoahanau i wahine.
22 The king replied [angrily], “What? Are you requesting me to give Abishag to Adonijah? [Does he want me] to allow him to rule the kingdom, too? Because he is my older brother, [does he think that he should be the king]? Does he think that Abiathar should be the priest [instead of Zadok], and that Joab [should be the army commander instead of Benaiah] because they supported him [when he tried to become the king]?”
Olelo ae la ke alii Solomona, i ae la i kona makuwahine, No ke aha la oe i noi mai nei ia Abisaga no Sunama na Adoniia? E noi mai oe i ke aupuni kekahi nona, no ka mea, o ko'u kaikuaana no ia, nona hoi, a no Abiatara ke kahuna, a no Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia.
23 Then Solomon solemnly promised, requesting Yahweh to listen, “I wish God would strike me and kill me if I do not cause Adonijah to be executed for requesting this!
Alaila hoohiki Solomona ke alii ma o Iehova la, i aku la, Me ia e hana mai ai ke Akua ia'u, a e hui hou, ke olelo ku e ole o Adoniia i keia olelo i kona ola iho.
24 Yahweh has appointed me to be the king and placed me here to rule [MTY] as my father David did. He has promised that my descendants [MTY] will be the kings of Israel. So just as surely as Yahweh lives, I solemnly promise that Adonijah will be executed today!”
Ano hoi, me ke ola ana o Iehova, ka mea nana i hooku paa mai ia'u, a i hoonoho ia'u ma ka nohoalii o Davida ko'u makuakane, ka mea nana i hana i hale no'u, e like me kana olelo hoopomaikai, e make no o Adoniia i keia la.
25 So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah to [go and] kill Adonijah, and Benaiah did that.
Kena ae la o Solomona ke alii ma ka lima o Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada; lele aku la oia ia ia a make ia.
26 Then Solomon said to Abiathar the priest, “Go to Anathoth [town], to your land there. You deserve to be killed, but I will not execute you now, because you were the one who [supervised the men who] carried Yahweh’s Sacred Chest for David my father, and you endured all the troubles that my father endured.”
A olelo mai la ke alii ia Abiatara ke kahuna, E hele aku oe i Anatota, i kau mau mahinaai ponoi; no ka mea, he pono ke make oe: aka, aole au e pepehi aku ia oe i keia mau la, no ka mea, ua hali oe i ka pahuberita o ka Haku Iehova imua o Davida ko'u makuakane, a ua hookaumahaia oe i na mea a pau i hookaumahaia'i ko'u makuakane.
27 So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from being the priest of Yahweh. By doing that he caused to happen what Yahweh had said [many years previously] at Shiloh, [that some day he would get rid] of the descendants [MTY] of Eli.
Pela i kipaku aku ai o Solomona ia Abiatara mai kona kahuna ana no Iehova, i hooko i ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo ai no ka ohana a Eli ma Silo.
28 Joab had not supported Absalom [when he tried to become the king], but he had supported Adonijah. So when Joab heard what had happened, he ran to the Sacred Tent, and he grasped the projections on the corners of the altar, [because he knew that no one would kill him there].
Alaila hiki ae la ka olelo ia Ioaba; no ka mea, ua huli ae o Ioaba mamuli o Adoniia aole nae ia i huli mamuli o Abesaloma: a holo aku la o Ioaba i ka halelewa o Iehova, a lalau ae la i na pepeiaohao o ke kuahu.
29 When someone told Solomon that Joab had run to the Sacred Tent and was standing alongside the altar, Solomon told Benaiah, “Go and execute Joab.”
A ua haiia'ku i ke alii ia Solomona, Ua holo aku o Ioaba i ka halelewa o Iehova, aia hoi ia ma ke kuahu. Alaila kena ae la o Solomona ia Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, i ae la, E hele oe e lele aku ia ia.
30 So Benaiah went to the Sacred Tent and said to Joab, “The king commands you to come out!” But Joab replied, “No, I will die here.” So Benaiah went back to the king and reported [what he had said to Joab, and] what Joab had replied.
A hele aku la o Benaia i ka halelewa o Iehova, i aku la ia ia, Ke i mai nei ke alii, E hele mai oe. I mai kela, Aole, aka, maanei au e make ai. A hoi hoike o Benaia i ke alii, i aku la, Pela i olelo mai ai o Ioaba, a pela i hoike mai ai oia ia'u.
31 The king replied to him, “Do what he has requested. Kill him and bury his body. If you do that, my descendants [MTY] and I will no longer be punished for what Joab did when he killed [MTY] two men who (were innocent/had not done anything that is wrong).
A i mai la ke alii ia ia, E hana aku oe e like me kana i olelo mai ai, e lele aku ia ia a e kanu ia ia, i lawe aku oe i ke koko hala ole a Ioaba i hookahe ai, mai o'u aku nei, a mai ka ohana aku a ko'u makuakane.
32 But Yahweh will punish [MTY] Joab for attacking and killing Abner, the commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa, the commander of the army of Judah, two men who were more righteous and better [DOU] men than he is. My father David did not even know that Joab [was planning to murder them].
A e hoihoi aku o Iehova i kona koko maluna o ke poo ona, o ka mea i lele aku i na kanaka elua ua oi aku ko laua pono me ko laua maikai mamua o kona, a pepehi aku la ia laua me ka pahikaua, me ka ike ole o Davida ko'u makuakane, ia Abenera ke keiki a Nera, ka luna o ka poe koa o ka Iseraela, a me Amasa ke keiki a Ietera ka luna o ka poe koa o ka Iuda.
33 Joab and his descendants will be punished [IDM] forever for his murdering Abner and Amasa. But things will forever go well for David’s descendants [MTY] who rule [MTY] as King David did.”
Nolaila e hoi ae ko laua koko maluna o ke poo o Ioaba, a maluna o kana mau keiki a mau aku; aka, maluna o Davida a me kana mau keiki, a me kana ohana, a me kona nohoalii, e kau mau loa'i ka pomaikai mai ka Haku mai.
34 So Benaiah went [into the Sacred Tent] and killed Joab. Joab was buried on his property in the desert [part of Judah].
Hele aku la hoi o Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, lele aku la ia ia, a pepehi aku ia ia; a ua kanuia oia iloko o kona hale i ka waonahele.
35 Then the king appointed Benaiah to be the commander of the army instead of Joab, and he appointed Zadok to be the priest instead of Abiathar.
A hoonoho ae la ke alii ia Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, iloko o kona wahi maluna o ka poe koa, a hookomo ae la ke alii ia Zadoka i ka hakahaka o Abiatara.
36 Then the king sent [a messenger] to summon Shimei, and the king said to him, “Build a house for yourself here in Jerusalem. Remain there and do not leave the city to go anywhere.
Hoouna ae la ke alii e kii ia Simei, a i ae la ia ia, E kukulu oe i hale nou ma Ierusalema, a malaila e noho ai, mai hele aku oe mai ia wahi aku.
37 Be sure that the day that you leave Jerusalem and go across the Kidron Brook, you will be executed, and it will be (your own fault/what you deserve).”
No ka mea, eia, i kou la e puka aku ai maluna o ke kahawai Kederona, e ike oe he oiaio no e make io no oe, a maluna o kou poo iho kou koko.
38 Shimei replied, “Your Majesty, what you say is good. I will do what you have said.” So Shimei remained in Jerusalem for several years.
Olelo aku la hoi o Simei i ke alii, he pono ka olelo; a e like me ka olelo a kuu haku ke alii, pela no e hana aku ai kau kauwa. A noho iho la o Simei ma Ierusalema i na la he nui.
39 But three years later, two of Shimei’s slaves ran away. They went to stay with Maacah’s son Achish, the king of Gath [city]. When someone told Shimei that they were in Gath,
Eia kekahi, i ka pau ana o na makahiki ekolu, holo malu aku la elua o na kauwa a Simei ia Akisa ke keiki a Maaka ke alii o Gata: a olelo mai la lakou ia Simei, i mai la, Aia kau mau kauwa ma Gata.
40 he put a saddle on his donkey and [got on it and] went to Gath. He found his slaves staying with King Achish and brought them back home.
Ku ae la hoi o Simei, a kau aku la i ka noholio maluna o kona hoki a holo aku la i Gata, ia Akisa e imi ana i kana mau kauwa; a holo no Simei a hoihoi mai i kana mau kauwa mai Gata mai.
41 But someone told King Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned.
Haiia'ku la ia Solomona, ua hele aku o Simei mai Ierusalema aku i Gata, a ua hoi mai.
42 So the king sent [a soldier] to summon Shimei and said to him, “I told you to solemnly promise, knowing that Yahweh [MTY] was listening, that you must not leave Jerusalem. I told you [RHQ], ‘Be sure that if you ever leave Jerusalem, you will be executed.’ And you replied [RHQ] to me, ‘What you have said is good; I will do what you have said.’
Hoouna ae ke alii e kii ia Simei, a i ae la ia ia, Aole anei na'u i hoohiki ai oe ma o Iehova la, a i olelo aku au ia oe penei, I kou la e puka aku ai a hele mawaho i kahi e, e ike oe he oiaio, e make io no oe? a olelo mai la oe ia'u, He pono ka olelo a'u e lohe nei.
43 So why did you not do what you solemnly promised to Yahweh? Why did you disobey what I commanded you?”
No ke aha la hoi i malama ole ai oe i kau mea i hoohiki ai no Iehova, a me ke kauoha a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oe?
44 The king also said to Shimei, “You know all the evil things that you did to my father David. So Yahweh will now punish you for the evil things that you did.
Olelo hou ae la ke alii ia Simei, Ua ike no oe i ka hewa a pau i maopopo i kou naau, au i hana mai ai ia Davida ko'u makuakane: nolaila e hoihoi aku o Iehova i kou hewa maluna iho o kou poo;
45 But Yahweh will bless me, and he will enable David’s descendants [MTY] to rule forever.”
A e pomaikai Solomona ke alii, a e hooku paa mau loa ia ka nohoalii o Davida ma ke alo o Iehova.
46 Then the king gave an order to Benaiah, and he went and killed Shimei. So Solomon was completely in control of the kingdom.
Alaila kena ae la ke alii ia Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, a puka ae ia, a lele aku ia ia a make ia. A ua hoopaaia ke aupuni iloko o ka lima o Solomona.
