2 Samuel 16
1 And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of donkeys saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
A HALA iki aku la o Davida mai kahi kiekie o ka puu aku, aia hoi, halawai mai la me ia o Ziba ke kauwa a Mepiboseta, me na hoki elua i hoeeia e na noho, a maluna iho o laua elua haneri pai berena, me na huiwaina maloo he haneri, me na ope huafiku maloo he haneri, a me kekahi huewaina.
2 And the king said to Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.
Ninau aku la ke alii ia Ziba, I me aha keia mau mea ia oe? I mai la o Ziba, O na hoki, no na ohua o ke alii ia e holo ia; a o ka berena a me ka hua maloo, na na kanaka opiopio ia e ai ai; a o ka waina, no ka poe nawaliwali ia e inu ai ma ka waonahele.
3 And the king said, And where is thy master’s son? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore to me the kingdom of my father.
Ninau aku la ke alii, Auhea la ke keiki a kou haku? I aku la o Ziba i ke alii, Aia no e noho la ma Ierusalema: no ka mea, i aku la ia, I keia la e hoihoi mai ana ka ohana a Iseraela i ke aupuni o ko'u kupunakane no'u.
4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.
Alaila, i mai la ke alii ia Ziba, Aia hoi, nou no na mea a pau i pili no Mepiboseta. I aku la o Ziba, Ke noi haahaa aku nei au ia oe, i loaa ia'u ke aloha imua o kou maka, e kuu haku, e ke alii e.
5 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, from there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed continually as he came.
A hiki aku la o Davida ke alii i Bahurima, Aia hoi, puka mai la iwaho kekahi kanaka no ka ohana a Saula, o Simei kona inoa, o ke keiki a Gera; hele mai la ia iwaho, a kuamuamu mai la i kona hele ana mai.
6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
Nou aku la ia i na pohaku ia Davida, a i na kauwa a ke alii a Davida: ma kona akau a ma kona hema ka poe kanaka a pau, a me ka poe koa a pau.
7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou worthless fellow:
Penei ka Simei i olelo ai i kana kuamuamu ana, E puka oe iwaho, e puka oe iwaho, e ke kanaka koko, ke kanaka Beliala.
8 The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.
Ua hoopai mai o Iehova maluna iho ou i ke koko a pau o ka ohana a Saula, nona kou wahi i nohoalii ai: a na haawi aku o Iehova i ke aapuni iloko o ka lima o Abesaloma o kau keiki: aia hoi oe maloko o kou kolohe, no ka mea, he kanaka koko oe.
9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
Alaila, i aku la o Abisai ke keiki a Zeruia i ke alii, No ke aha la e kuamuamu mai ai keia ilio make i kuu haku i ke alii? E hele aku paha wau i o, a e oki ae i kona poo.
10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said to him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Why hast thou done so?
I mai la ke alii, Heaha ka'u ia olua, e na keiki a Zeruia? E kuamuamu mai no oia pela; no ka mea, ua olelo mai no o Iehova ia ia, e kuamuamu ia Davida. Owai hoi ke olelo aku, No ke aha la oe i hana'i pela?
11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth from my own body, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.
I aku la o Davida ia Abisai a me kana poe kauwa a pau, Aia hoi ka'u keiki, ka mea i puka ae mailoko aku o'u, ua imi mai kela i kuu ola: e oiaio no hoi keia mamo a Beniamina. E waiho pela, e aho oia ke kuamuamu mai; no ka mea, ua olelo mai o Iehova ia ia.
12 It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction, and that the LORD will repay me good for his cursing this day.
Malia paha e nana mai o Iehova i kuu ehaeha, a e hoomaikai paha o Iehova ia'u no kana kuamuamu ana mai i keia la.
13 And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill’s side opposite him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
A i ka hele ana o Davida a me na kanaka ona ma ke ala, hele aku la hoi o Simei ma ka aoao o ka puu e ku pono ana ia ia; a i kona hele ana, kuamuamu mai la ia, nou mai la i na pohaku ia ia, a hoolei mai la hoi i ka lepo.
14 And the king, and all the people that were with him, became weary, and refreshed themselves there.
Maluhiluhi iho la ke alii a me ka poe kanaka a pau me ia, a hoomaha iho la ilaila.
15 And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
Hele mai la o Abesaloma a me na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela i Ierusalema, a o Ahitopela kekahi me ia.
16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had come to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.
A hiki aku la hoi o Husai no Areki, ka hoalauna o Davida io Abesaloma la, i aku la o Husai ia Abesaloma, E ola ke alii, e ola ke alii.
17 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?
I mai la o Abesaloma ia Husai, Oia anei kou aloha i kou hoalauna? Heaha hoi kau i hele ole aku ai me kou hoalauna?
18 And Hushai said to Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
I aku la o Husai ia Abesaloma, Aole, o ka mea a Iehova, a o keia poe kanaka, a o na kanaka o ka Iseraela a pau e koho ai, nona no wau, a e noho pu au me ia.
19 And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father’s presence, so will I be in thy presence.
Nawai la hoi au e hookauwa aku ai, ke ole ma ke alo o kana keiki? Me au i hookauwa aku ai ma ke alo o kou makuakane, pela hoi au e hookauwa aku ai ma Kou alo.
20 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
Alaila, i mai la o Abesaloma ia Ahitopela, E kukakuka oukou i ka mea a kakou e hana aku ai.
21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to thy father’s concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred by thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.
I aku la o Ahitopela ia Abesaloma, E komo aku oe iloko i na haiawahine a kou makuakane, ana i waiho ai e kiai i ka hale; a e lohe ka Iseraela a pau e hoowahawahaia oe e kou makuakane, alaila e ikaika ai na lima o ka poe a pau me oe.
22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
Nolaila, kukulu lakou i haleole no Abesaloma maluna o ka hale; a komo aku la o Abesaloma maloko i na haiawahine a kona makuakane, imua o ka Iseraela a pau.
23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
A o ka oleloao a Ahitopela i olelo aku ai ia mau la, ua like ia me ka ke Akua olelo a ke kanaka i ninau aku ai: pela no ka oleloao a pau a Ahitopela ia Davida a me Abesaloma.
