1 Samuel 20
1 David ran away from [the] Naioth [section] of Ramah [city]. He went to Jonathan and asked him, “What have I done [to displease your father]? What did I do that was wrong? Why is he trying to kill me?”
HOLO aku la o Davida mai Naiota i Rama aku, a hele mai, a i mai la imua o Ionatana, Heaha la ka'u i hana'i heaha ko'u hewa, heaha KO'U hala imua o kou makuakane, i imi mai ai ia i kuu ola?
2 Jonathan replied, “My father is surely not trying to kill you! He always tells me before he does anything that he is planning. He tells me about important things and unimportant things that he plans to do. (Why would he refuse to tell me [if he were planning to kill me]?/I am sure that he would not refuse to tell me [if he were planning to kill you].) [RHQ] So what you are saying cannot be true.”
I mai la oia ia ia, Aole loa; aole oe e make: aia hoi, aole e hana ko'u makuakane i ka mea nui, aole hoi i ka mea liilii, ke hai ole mai oia ia'u; no ke aha la ko'u makuakane i huna'i i keia mea ia'u? Aole pela.
3 Then David solemnly declared this to Jonathan: “Your father knows very well that you and I are very good friends, so he says to himself, ‘I will not tell Jonathan [what I am going to do]. If I tell Jonathan, he will be upset/distressed, [and then he will tell David].’ But just as certain as Yahweh lives and you live, I am only one step away from being killed.”
Hoohiki aku la o Davida, i aku la, Ua ike pono kou makuakane i ka loaa ana ia'u o ke aloha imua o kou maka; a ua olelo iho, Aole e hoike keia mea ia Ionatana, o kaumaha ia: aka, he oiaio, ma ke ola o Iehova, a me ke ola o kou uhane, hookahi kapuwai wale no i koe iwaena o'u a me ka make.
4 Jonathan said to David, “I will do whatever you tell me to do.”
Olelo aku la o Ionatana ia Davida, O ka mea a kou naau e i mai ai, o ka'u ia e hana aku ai ia oe.
5 David replied, “Tomorrow we will celebrate the Festival of the New Moon. I always eat with the king at that festival. But tomorrow I will hide in the field, and I will stay there for one night. I will stay there until the evening of the day after tomorrow.
I mai la o Davida ia Ionatana, Aia hoi, apopo ka malama hou, a he pono ia'u e noho pu me ke alii i ka ahaaina: aka, e kuu mai oe ia'u, a huna au ia'u iho ma ke kula, a hiki i ke ahiahi o ka po akolu.
6 If your father asks why I am not there at the festival, say to him, ‘David requested me to allow him to go to his home in Bethlehem, where his family will offer the sacrifice that they offer [during this festival] every year.’
Ina paha i ike kou makuakane i ko'u nalo ana, alaila e i aku oe, Ua noi ikaika mai o Davida ia'u e holo ia ma Betelehema i kona kulanakauhale; no ka mea, ilaila ka mohai makahiki no ka ohana a pau.
7 If your father says ‘That is okay’, then I know I will be safe. But if he becomes extremely angry, you will know that he is determined to harm me.
Ina paha i olelo mai ia peneia, Ua pono; ina na maluhia kau kauwa: aka, ina paha i huhu nui mai ia, he oiaio, ua ino kona manao ana mai.
8 Please be kind to me. Yahweh heard you when you made a solemn agreement with me [that you and I will always be loyal friends]. If I deserve to be punished [MTY], kill me yourself. I do not want [RHQ] you to allow your father to punish [IDM] me.”
No ia mea, e hana mai i kau kauwa me ke aloha; no ka mea, ua hookomo mai oe i kau kauwa iloko o ke kuikahi me oe ma o Iehova la: ina paha he hewa iloko o'u, nau no wau e pepehi; no ke aha la oe e lawe aku ai ia'u i kou makuakane?
9 Jonathan replied, “I will never do that! But if I find out that my father is determined to harm/kill you, I will certainly warn you.” [RHQ]
I aku la o Ionatana, Aole loa ia mea ia oe: no ka mea, ina paha i ike pono wau, ua ino ka manao ana o ko'u makuakane e hele mai maluna ou, aole anei au i hai aku ia oe?
10 David asked him, “How will I find out if your father answers you harshly?”
I mai o Davida ia Ionatana, Nawai la wau e hai mai? Pehea la, ke olelo pakike mai kou makuakane ia oe?
11 Jonathan replied, “Come with me. We will go out into the field.” So they went together out into the field.
I aku la o Ionatana ia Davida, Ea, e hele kaua iwaho ma ke kula, A hele aku la laua ma ke kula.
12 There Jonathan said to David, “I promise this while Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], is listening: At this time the day after tomorrow, I will find out what my father [is thinking about you]. If he is saying good things about you, I will certainly send a message to you to tell that to you [RHQ].
I aku la o Ionatana ia Davida, E Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, aia e ninau pono aku au i ko'u makuakane i kekahi manawa i ka la apopo, a ia la aku paha, aia hoi, he mea pono no Davida, a e hoouna ole aku au iou la, a e hai ia oe;
13 But if he is planning to hurt/kill you, I will enable you to know [IDM] that, and enable you to go away safely. I desire that Yahweh will punish me severely if I do not do that [for you]. I desire/hope that Yahweh will be with you [and help you] like he has helped my father.
E hana mai o Iehova ia Ionatana pela, a nui aku hoi: ina paha i makemake ko'u makuakane e hana ino ia oe; alaila e hai aku au ia oe, a e hookuu aku ia oe e hele oe me ke aloha; a o Iehova pu kekahi me oe, e like me ia mamua me ko'u makuakane.
14 But while I am still alive, please be kind to me in the same way that Yahweh is kind to me, and do not kill me [when you become king].
Aole i ko'u manawa e ola ana wale no oe e hoike mai ia'u i ka lokomaikai o Iehova, i make ole ai au;
15 But [if I die, ] never stop being kind to my family, [even] after Yahweh has gotten rid of all your enemies all over the earth.”
Aka, mai hooki oe i kou lokomaikai i ko'u hale i na manawa a pau; aole hoi i ka manawa e hookiia'i na enemi a pau o Davida, mai ke alo aku o ka honua.
16 [David agreed]. So Jonathan made a solemn agreement with David. And he said, “I hope/desire that Yahweh will get rid of all your enemies.”
A kuikahi iho la o Ionatana me ko ka hale o Davida, [i ka i ana, ] Na Iehova e imi mai ia ma ka lima o ko Davida poe enemi.
17 And Jonathan requested David to repeat his solemn promise to be his close friend, because Jonathan loved David as much as he loved himself.
A hoohiki hou aku la o Ionatana me Davida, no kona aloha ia ia; no ka mea, ua aloha no oia ia ia, e like me ia i aloha ai i kona ola iho.
18 Then Jonathan said, “Tomorrow we will celebrate the Festival of the New Moon. When you are not sitting at your place when we eat, my father will (miss you/see that you are not there).
I aku la o Ionatana ia ia, Apopo ka mahina hou; a e ikeia kou nalo ana, no ka mea, e ikeia kou noho kaawale.
19 The day after tomorrow, in the evening, go to the place where you hid before. Wait by the pile of stones.
A i ka po akolu, e iho wawe oe a hiki ma kahi au i pee ai i ka la o ka hana ana, a e noho oe ma ka pohaku o Ezela:
20 I will come out and shoot three arrows as though I were trying to shoot at a target. [The arrows will hit the ground] close to the pile of stones.
A e pana aku au i na pua ekolu ma ka aoao, e like me ka pana ana'ku i ka hoailona.
21 Then I will send a boy to bring the arrows back to me. If you hear me say to him, ‘They are closer to me’, then as surely as Yahweh lives, you will know that everything is fine, [and that Saul will not kill you].
Aia hoi, e hoouna aku au i kekahi keiki e hele e imi i na pua. A ina paha e olelo akaka aku au i ke keiki, Aia na pua ma keia aoao ou, e lawe ia mau mea; alaila e hele mai oe: no ka mea, he pomaikai nou, aohe mea ino, ma ke ola o Iehova.
22 But if I tell him, ‘The arrows are farther away’, you will know that you must leave immediately, because Yahweh wants you to run away.
Aka, ina e olelo aku au i ke keiki peneia, Aia na pua ma o aku ou; alaila e hele e aku oe: no ka mea, na Iehova oe i Hoouna aku ai.
23 I hope/desire that Yahweh will watch you and me and enable us to never forget what we have promised each other.”
A ma ka mea a kaua i kamailio ai, aia hoi, o Iehova no iwaena o kaua i ka manawa a pau.
24 So David went and hid in the field. When the Festival of the New Moon started, the king sat down to eat.
A pee iho la o Davida ma ke kula: a hiki mai ka mahina hou, noho iho la ke alii e ahaaina ai.
25 He sat where he usually sat, close to the wall. Jonathan sat across from him, and Abner [the army commander] sat next to Saul. But no one was sitting in the place where David [usually sat].
Noho iho ke alii maluna o kona noho, me ia i ka manawa mamua, maluna o ka noho ma ka paia: a ku ae la o Ionatana, a noho iho la o Abenera ma ka aoao o Saula, a ua kaawale ko Davida wahi.
26 On that day, Saul did not say anything about David, because he was thinking, “Something must have happened that caused David to become unacceptable [to worship God].”
Aka, aole o Saula i olelo iki ia la: no ka mea, manao iho la ia, ua hiki mai kekahi mea ia ia, ua haumia oia; oiaio, ua haumia oia.
27 But the next day, when David was not sitting at the place where he usually sat, Saul asked Jonathan, “Why has that son of Jesse not been here to eat with us yesterday and today?”
A ia la ae, oia ka po alua o ka malama, ua kaawale ko Davida wahi; ninau aku la o Saula ia Ionatana i kana keiki, No ke aha la i hele ole mai ai ke keiki a Iese i ka ahaaina inehinei a i keia la?
28 Jonathan replied, “David earnestly requested me that I permit him to go to Bethlehem.
I mai la o Ionatana ia Saula, Ua noi ikaika mai o Davida ia'u, e hele ia ma Betelehema.
29 He said, ‘Please allow me to go, because our family is going to offer a sacrifice. My [older] brother insisted that I be there. So please allow me to go to be with my [older] brothers.’ [I allowed David to go], and that is the reason that he is not here eating with you.”
A i mai la ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e kuu mai oe ia'u e hele, no ka mea, he mohai ohana no makou ma ke kulanakauhale, a ua kauoha mai kuu kaikuaana ia'u; ano hoi, ina ua loaa ia'u ke aloha i kou maka, e ae mai oe ia'u e hele koke aku au e ike i ko'u mau hoahanau: oia ka mea i hele ole mai ai ia i ka papaaina o ke alii.
30 Saul was (furious/very angry) with Jonathan. He yelled at him, “You stupid bastard [EUP]! I know that you are being loyal to that son of Jesse. By doing that, you will bring shame to yourself and to your mother.
Alaila hoaia ka inaina o Saula ia Ionatana, i aku la ia ia, E ke keiki paakiki, kekee, aole anei au i ike, ua koho aku oe i ke keiki a Iese, i mea hilahila nou, a me ka hilahila o kahi huna o kou makuwahine?
31 As long as Jesse’s son is living, you will never become the king, and you will never rule over a kingdom! So now, summon David, and bring him to me. He must be executed!”
No ka mea, i na la a pau o ke ola ana o ke keiki a Iese maluna o ka honua, aole e hookupaaia oe a me kou aupuni: ano hoi, e hoouna aku oe, a e lawe mai ia ia io'u nei, no ka mea, e pono no ia ke make.
32 Jonathan asked his father, “Why should David be executed? What wrong has he done?”
Olelo mai la o Ionatana ia Saula i kona makuakane, i mai la ia ia, No ke aha la e pepehiia'i oia? heaha kana i hana'i?
33 Then Saul threw his spear at Jonathan in order to kill him, [but the spear did not hit him]. So Jonathan knew that his father really wanted to kill David.
Hou aku la o Saula i ka ihe ia ia e pepehi ia ia: no ia mea, ike iho la o Ionatana i ka manao ana o kona makuakane e pepehi ia Davida.
34 Jonathan was very angry, and he left the room. On that second day of the festival, he refused to eat anything. He was disgusted about what his father had done, and he was worried about David.
Ku ae la o Ionatana mai ka papaaina mai me ka huhu wela, aole ia i ai i ka ai i ka lua o ka la o ka malama, no kona kaumaha ia Davida, no ka mea, ua olelo hoino kona makuakane ia ia.
35 The following morning Jonathan went out to the field to give a message to David, like he had agreed that he would do. He took a young boy with him.
A i kakahiaka ae, hele aku la o Ionatana ma ke kula i ka manawa i oleloia ai me Davida, a me ia pu kekahi keiki.
36 Jonathan said to the boy, “Run and find the arrows that I shoot.” The boy started running, and Jonathan shot an arrow ahead of the boy.
I aku la ia i kona keiki, E holo, e imi i na pua a'u e pana aku ai. A i kona holo ana, pana aku la ia i ka pua ma o aku ona.
37 When the boy ran to the place where the arrow hit the ground, Jonathan called out, “The arrow is further away!” [RHQ]
A hiki aku la ke keiki ma kahi o ka pua a Ionatana i pana aku ai, kahea aku la o Ionatana i ke keiki, i aku la, Aole anei ma o aku ou ka pua?
38 Then he shouted to the boy, “Act quickly; do not wait! Do not stop!” The boy picked up the arrow and brought it back to Jonathan.
Kahea aku la o Ionatana mahope o ke keiki, E lalelale, e wiki, mai kali oe. Hoiliili ae la ke keiki o Ionatana i na pua, a hoi mai i kona haku.
39 But the boy did not understand the meaning of what Jonathan had said; only Jonathan and David knew.
Aole ike iki ua keiki la: o Ionatana laua o Davida wale no ka i ike ia mea.
40 Then Jonathan gave his bow and arrows to the boy and told him, “Go back to the town.”
Haawi aku la o Ionatana i kana mea kaua ma kona keiki, i aku la ia ia, O hele, a lawe aku ma ke kulanakauhale.
41 When the boy left, David came out from the south side of the pile of stones behind which he had been hiding. He went to Jonathan and bowed [in front of Jonathan] three times, with his face touching the ground. Then David and Jonathan kissed each other [on the cheek/neck], and they cried together. But David cried more than Jonathan.
A hala aku la ke keiki, ku ae la o Davida ma ke kukuluhema, a haule iho la ilalo ke alo ma ka honua, a kulou iho la ekolu kulou ana: honi iho la laua kekahi i kekahi, a uwe pu laua, a nui aku la ka Davida.
42 Jonathan said to David, “May things go well for you as you go. Yahweh has heard what we solemnly promised to always do for each other, and what we said that our descendants must do for each other.” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.
I aku la o Ionatana ia Davida, O hele me ka malu, no ka mea, ua hoohiki kaua a elua ma ka inoa o Iehova, i ka i ana ae, O Iehova no iwaena o'u a o oe, a iwaena hoi o ko'u hua a o kou hua i ka manawa a pau. Ku ae la ia, a hele aku la; a hoi aku la o Ionatana ma ke kulanakauhale.
