2 Samuel 20
1 There happened to be there a wicked fellow, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the shofar, and said, “We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel!”
I LAILA kekahi kanaka hewa, o Seba kona inoa, ke keiki a Bikeri, he mamo a Beniamina: puhi aku la ia i ka pu, i aku la, Aole a kakou kuleana iloko o Davida, aole hoi he hooilina iloko o ke keiki a Iese: e hoi no kela kanaka keia kanaka a pau i kona halelewa, e ka Iseraela.
2 So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah joined with their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
Alaila pii aku la na kanaka a pau o Iseraela mai o Davida aku la, a hahai aku la lakou ia Seba ke keiki a Bikeri: aka, hoopili aku la na kanaka o ka Iuda i ko lakou alii, mai Ioredane a hiki i Ierusalema.
3 David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody and provided them with sustenance, but didn’t go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
Hele mai la o Davida i kona hale i Ierusalema: a lawe ae la ke alii i ua mau haiawahine la he umi ana i waiho ai e kiai i ka hale, a hahao ae la ia lakou iloko o ka halepaahao, a hanai aku la ia lakou; aka, aole ia i komo aku iloko io lakou la. Pela lakou i paa ai e noho kane ole ana, a hiki i ko lakou la make.
4 Then the king said to Amasa, “Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be here present.”
Alaila i aku la ke alii ia Amasa, E houluulu oe no'u i na kanaka o ka Iuda i na la ekolu, a e hoi hou mai maanei.
5 So Amasa went to call the men of Judah together, but he stayed longer than the set time which had been appointed to him.
Alaila hele aku la o Amasa e houluulu i ka Iuda: aka, ua lohi kela a hala ka manawa i haawiia nona.
6 David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord’s servants and pursue after him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.”
I aku la o Davida ia Abisai, Ano, e oi aku ke ino a Seba ke keiki a Bikeri e hana mai ai ia kakou mamua o ka Abesaloma: e lawe oe i na kauwa a kou haku, a e alualu aku ia ia, o loaa ia ia na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa, a hoopakele ia ia iho mai o kakou aku.
7 Joab’s men went out after him with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men; and they went out of Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
A hele aku la mamuli ona na kanaka o Ioaba, me ka poe Kereti a me ka poe Peleti, a me ka poe kanaka ikaika a pau: puka aku la lakou iwaho o Ierusalema e alualu ia Seba ke keiki a Bikeri.
8 When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Joab was clothed in his apparel of war that he had put on, and on it was a sash with a sword fastened on his waist in its sheath; and as he went along it fell out.
Aia hiki aku lakou ma ka pohaku nui i Gibeoua, hele aku la o Amasa imua o lakou. A o ka aahu a Ioaba i aahu iho ai, ua kakuaia ia maluna ona, a maluna iho ke kaei; ua paaia ma kona puhaka ka pahikaua maloko o kona wahi: a i kona hele ana aku, haule iho la ia mea.
9 Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?” Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
I aku la o Ioaba ia Amasa, E ola ana oe, e kuu hoahanau? Lalau aku la Ioaba ia Amasa ma ka umiumi me ka lima akau e honi ia ia.
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand. So he struck him with it in the body and shed out his bowels to the ground, and didn’t strike him again; and he died. Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.
Aole i manao o Amasa i ka pahikaua ma ka lima o Ioaba: hou aku la kela ia ia me ia mea ma ka lima o ka iwiaoao, a poha mai la kona naau ma ka honua, aole ia i hou hou aku ia ia; a make aku la ia. A alualu aku la o Ioaba a me Abisai kona hoahanau ia Seba ke keiki a Bikeri.
11 One of Joab’s young men stood by him, and said, “He who favors Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow Joab!”
Ku mai la kekahi kanaka o Ioaba ma ona la, i mai la, O ka mea makemake ia Ioaba, a o ka mea no Davida, mamuli ia o Ioaba.
12 Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway. When the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.
Oni ae la o Amasa maloko o ke koko, iwaena o ke kuamoo. A ike ae la ua kanaka la, ua ku malie iho la na kanaka a pau, lawe aku la oia ia Amasa mawaho o ke kuamoo i ke kula, a hohola iho la i ke kapa maluna ona, i kona ike ana ua ku malie kela kanaka keia kanaka i hele mai ma ona la.
13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
A laweia'ku ia mawaho o ke kuamoo, alaila hele aku la na kanaka a pau mahope o Ioaba, e alualu ia Seba ke keiki a Bikeri.
14 He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, to Beth Maacah, and all the Berites. They were gathered together, and went also after him.
Hele aku la ia ma na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, a hiki i Abela a i Betemaka; a i ka poe Beerota a pau: a ua houluuluia e la hoi lakou a hahai aku la mahope ona.
15 They came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah, and they cast up a mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart; and all the people who were with Joab battered the wall to throw it down.
Hiki aku la lakou, a hoopuni ae la ia ia iloko o Abela-betemaka, hooahu aku la lakou i ka puu e ku pono i ke kulanakauhale, e ku ana ia ma ka pa mawaho: kui aku la ko Ioaba poe kanaka a pau i ka pa pohaku e hoohiolo ia mea malalo.
16 Then a wise woman cried out of the city, “Hear, hear! Please say to Joab, ‘Come near here, that I may speak with you.’”
Alaila, hea mai la kekahi wahine naauao mailoko mai o ke kulanakauhale, E hoolohe mai, e hoolohe mai; ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e i aku ia Ioaba, E hele mai a kokoke, i olelo aku ai au me oe.
17 He came near to her; and the woman said, “Are you Joab?” He answered, “I am.” Then she said to him, “Hear the words of your servant.” He answered, “I’m listening.”
A hiki aku la ia a kokoke io na la, i mai la ka wahine, O Ioaba anei oe? I aku la ia, Owau no. Alaila i mai la kela, E hoolohe mai oe i ka olelo a kau kauwawahine. I aku la ia, Ke lohe nei au.
18 Then she spoke, saying, “They used to say in old times, ‘They shall surely ask counsel at Abel,’ and so they settled a matter.
Olelo mai la kela, i mai la, I olelo io mai la lakou mamua, i ka i ana, He oiaio no e ninau mai ana lakou ma Abela, a pela e hooki ai.
19 I am among those who are peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why will you swallow up the LORD’s inheritance?”
Owau no ke noho malie a me ka malama iloko o ka Iseraela: ke manao nei oe e luku mai i kekahi kulanakauhale a me ka makuwahine iloko o ka Iseraela. No ke aha la oe e hoopau ai i ka aina a Iehova i hooili mai ai?
20 Joab answered, “Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
Olelo aku la o Ioaba, i aku la, Aole loa, aole loa ia'u ia ke hoopau iho, aole loa ke luku aku.
21 The matter is not so. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David. Just deliver him, and I will depart from the city.” The woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”
Aole pela ka mea; aka, he wahi kanaka no ka mauna o Eperaima, o Seba ke keiki a Bikeri ka inoa, ua hookiekie ae ia i kona lima e ku e i ke alii ia Davida: e haawi mai ia ia wale no, a e hoi hou aku no wau mai ke kulanakauhale aku. I mai la ka wahine ia Ioaba, Eia hoi, e kiolaia'ku kona poo i ou la mawaho o ka pa.
22 Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. They cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. He blew the shofar, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. Then Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
Alaila hele aku la ua wahine la i na kanaka a pau ma kona akamai. A oki iho la lakou i ke poo o Seba ke keiki a Bikeri, a kiola aku la iwaho io Ioaba la. Hookani aku la ia i ka pu, a hoi aku la lakou, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona halelewa iho. A hoi aku la o Ioaba i Ierusalema a i ke alii.
23 Now Joab was over all the army of Israel, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites,
A o Ioaba, maluna no ia o ka poe kaua a pau no ka Iseraela: a o Benaia ke keiki a Iehoida, maluna no ia o ka poe Kereti a me ka poe Peleti.
24 Adoram was over the men subject to forced labor, Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder,
A o Adorama, maluna no ia o ke auhau: a o lehosapata ke keiki a Ahiluda ke kakaumooolelo:
25 Sheva was scribe, Zadok and Abiathar were priests,
A o Seva ke kakauolelo: a o Zadoka me Abiatara na kahuna:
26 and Ira the Jairite was chief minister to David.
A o Ira hoi no Iaira, kekahi alii ia no Davida.
