2 Samuel 14
1 And Joab son of Zeruial knoweth that the heart of the king [is] on Absalom,
IKE ae la o Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia, ua hele aku ka naau o ke alii io Abesaloma la.
2 and Joab sendeth to Tekoah, and taketh thence a wise woman, and saith unto her, 'Feign thyself a mourner, I pray thee, and put on, I pray thee, garments of mourning, and anoint not thyself with oil, and thou hast been as a woman these many days mourning for the dead,
Hoouna aku la o Ioaba i Tekoa, a lawe mai la i kekahi wahine akamai mailaila mai, i aku la ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoolike oe ia oe iho me ka mea kanikau, a e aahu oe i ke kapa makena, aole hoi e kahinu i ka aila: e like oe me ka wahine i kanikau loa no ka mea i make.
3 and thou hast gone unto the king, and spoken unto him, according to this word;' and Joab putteth the words into her mouth.
A e hele aku i ke alii, a penei e olelo aku ai. Alaila, hai aku la o Ioaba i na huaolelo no kona waha.
4 And the woman of Tekoah speaketh unto the king, and falleth on her face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and saith, 'Save, O king.'
A i ka wa i olelo aku ai ka wahine o Tekoa i ke alii, moe iho la ia ilalo kona alo, hoomaikai aku la i ke alii, i aku la, E hoola mai, e ke alii.
5 And the king saith to her, 'What — to thee?' and she saith, 'Truly a widow woman [am] I, and my husband dieth,
I mai la ke alii ia ia, Heaha kau? I aku la kela, He wahinekanemake au, ua make kuu kane.
6 and thy maid-servant hath two sons; and they strive both of them in a field, and there is no deliverer between them, and the one smiteth the other, and putteth him to death;
He mau keikikane elua a kau kauwawahine, hakaka ae la laua ma ke kula, aohe mea hoi nana e uwao, a hahau aku la kekahi i kona hoa, a make iho la ia.
7 and lo, the whole family hath risen against thy maid-servant, and say, Give up him who smiteth his brother, and we put him to death for the life of his brother whom he hath slain, and we destroy also the heir; and they have quenched my coal which is left — so as not to set to my husband a name and remnant on the face of the ground.'
Aia hoi, ua ku e mai ka ohana a pau i kau kauwawahine; i mai lakou, E haawi mai oe i ka mea nana i hahau i kona hoahanau, i pepehi aku makou ia ia, no ke ola o kona hoahanau ana i pepehi aku ai; a e hoopau no hoi makou i ka hooilina: pela no lakou e kinai ai i kuu lanahu ahi i koe, aole no hoi lakou e waiho no ka'u kane i inoa, aole hoi koena maluna o ka honua.
8 And the king saith unto the woman, 'Go to thine house, and I give charge concerning thee.'
I mai la ke alii i ua wahine la, O hoi oe i kou hale, a e kauoha aku hoi au nou.
9 And the woman of Tekoah saith unto the king, 'On me, my lord, O king, [is] the iniquity, and on the house of my father; and the king and his throne [are] innocent.'
Olelo aku la ka wahine o Tekoa i ke alii, E kuu haku, e ke alii, maluna iho o'u ka hala, a maluna hoi o ka ohana a ko'u makua: a e hala ole ke alii a me kona nohoalil
10 And the king saith, 'He who speaketh [aught] unto thee, and thou hast brought him unto me, then he doth not add any more to come against thee.'
I mai la ke alii, O ka mea olelo mai ia oe, e kai mai ia ia io'u nei, aole hoi ia e hoopa hou aku ia oe.
11 And she saith, 'Let, I pray thee, the king remember by Jehovah thy God, that the redeemer of blood add not to destroy, and they destroy not my son;' and he saith, 'Jehovah liveth; if there doth fall of the hair of thy son to the earth.'
Alaila, i aku la kela, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoomanao ke alii ia Iehova i kou Akua, i ole e luku hou aku ka mea hoopai koko, o make ka'u keiki I mai la ke alii, Ma ko Iehova ola ana, aole o haule ka lauoho hookahi o kau keiki ma ka honua.
12 And the woman saith, 'Let, I pray thee, thy maid-servant speak unto my lord the king a word;' and he saith, 'Speak.'
Alaila i aku la ua wahine la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe i kau kauwawahine, e hai aku ia i hookahi huaolelo i kuu haku i ke alii. I mai la kela, E hai mai
13 And the woman saith, 'And why hast thou thought thus concerning the people of God? yea, the king is speaking this thing as a guilty one, in that the king hath not brought back his outcast;
I aku la ka wahine, No ke aha la hoi oe i manao ia mea ku e i ko ke Akua poe kanaka? no ka mea, ua olelo mai ke alii ia mea, me he mea hewa la, i ka hoihoi ole mai o ke alii ia nei i ka mea ana i hookuke aku ai.
14 for we do surely die, and [are] as water which is running down to the earth, which is not gathered, and God doth not accept a person, and hath devised devices in that the outcast is not outcast by Him.
No ka mea, he oiaio no e make kakou, a ua like me ka wai i haniniia ma ka honua, aole e hiki ke ukuhi hou ia: aole no ke Akua i lawe aku i kona ola, aka, ua noonoo kela i ka mea e lilo loa ole ai ka mea ana i hookuke aku ai.
15 'And now that I have come to speak unto the king my lord this word, [it is] because the people made me afraid, and thy maid-servant saith, Let me speak, I pray thee, unto the king; it may be the king doth do the word of his handmaid,
Nolaula hoi, i kuu hiki ana mai e olelo aku i kuu haku i ke alii ma ia mea, no ka hoomakau ana mai a na kanaka ia'u: i iho la kau kauwawahine, E olelo aku no wau i ke alii; malia paha e hana mai ke alii e like me ka noi ana aku a kana kauwawahine.
16 for the king doth hearken to deliver his handmaid out of the paw of the man [seeking] to destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God,
No ka mea, e lohe mai no ke alii, i hoopakele oia i kana kauwawahine i ka lima o ke kanaka nana e hoolei aku ia maua pu me kuu keiki iwaho o ka noho ana o ke Akua.
17 and thy maid-servant saith, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be for ease; for as a messenger of God so [is] my lord the king, to understand the good and the evil; and Jehovah thy God is with thee.'
Alaila, i iho la kau kauwawahine, e lilo no ka olelo a kuu haku a ke alii i mea hoomaha: no ka mea, ua like kun haku ke alii me ka anela o ke Akua, i ka nana i ka pono a me ka hewa: nolaila, me oe pu auanei o Iehova o kou Akua.
18 And the king answereth and saith unto the woman, 'Do not, I pray thee, hide from me the thing that I am asking thee;' and the woman saith, 'Let, I pray thee, my lord the king speak.'
Alaila, olelo mai la ke alii, i mai la i ua wahine la, Mai huna oe ia'u, ea, i ka mea a'u e ninau aku nei ia oe. I aku la ka wahine, E olelo mai kuu haku ke alii ano.
19 And the king saith, 'Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this?' And the woman answereth and saith, 'Thy soul liveth, my lord, O king, none [doth turn] to the right or to the left from all that my lord the king hath spoken; for thy servant Joab he commanded me, and he put in the mouth of thy maid-servant all these words;
I mai la ke alii, Aole anei ka lima o Ioaba pu me oe i neia mea? Olelo aku la ua wahine la, i aku la, Oiaio no, e kuu haku, e ke alii, aole e hiki i kekahi ke kapae aku ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema o kekahi mea a kuu haku a ke alii i olelo mai nei: o kau kauwa o Ioaba, oia ka i kauoha mai ia'u, a hahao mai la ia mau huaolelo a pau maloko o ka waha o kau kauwawahine.
20 in order to bring round the appearance of the thing hath thy servant Joab done this thing, and my lord [is] wise, according to the wisdom of a messenger of God, to know all that [is] in the land.'
Pela i hana iho ai o loaba i mea e loaa'i keia ano o ka olelo: a ua naauao ko'u haku, e like me ka naauao o ka anela o ke Akua, ma ka ike i na mea a pau o ka honua nei.
21 And the king saith unto Joab, 'Lo, I pray thee, thou hast done this thing; and go, bring back the young man Absalom.'
I aku la ke alii ia Ioaba, aia hoi, ua hana iho nei au i keia mea, e kii aku oe, a e hoihoi mai i ke kanaka opiopio ia Abesaloma.
22 And Joab falleth on his face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and blesseth the king, and Joab saith, 'To-day hath thy servant known that I have found grace in thine eyes, my lord, O king, in that the king hath done the word of his servant.'
Moe iho la o Ioaba ma ka honua ilalo kona alo, kulou iho la, a hoomaikai aku la i ke alii. I aku la o Ioaba, Ke ike nei au i keia la, ua loaa ia'u ke aloha imua o kou maka, e kuu haku, e ke alii, no ka mea, ua hooko mai ke alii i ka mea a kana kauwa i noi aku ai.
23 And Joab riseth and goeth to Geshur, and bringeth in Absalom to Jerusalem,
Ku ae la o Ioaba, a hele aku la i Gesura, a lawe mai la ia Abesaloma i Ierusalema.
24 and the king saith, 'Let him turn round unto his house, and my face he doth not see.' And Absalom turneth round unto his house, and the face of the king he hath not seen.
I aku la ke alii, E kipa ae ia i kona hale iho, aole ia e ike mai i kuu maka. A hoi ae la o Abesaloma i kona hale, aole i ike aku i na maka o ke alii.
25 And like Absalom there was no man [so] fair in all Israel, to praise greatly; from the sole of his foot even unto his crown there was no blemish in him;
A iloko o ka Iseraela a pau, aole he kanaka e ae i mahalo nui ia e like me Abesaloma no kona maikai: mai ka poli wawae ona a hiki iluna i ka piko o kona poo, aohe ona kina iki.
26 and in his polling his head — and it hath been at the end of year by year that he polleth [it], for it [is] heavy on him, and he hath polled it — he hath even weighed out the hair of his head — two hundred shekels by the king's weight.
Aia ako ia i kona poo, (no ka mea, i ka pau ana o kela makahiki, keia makahiki, ako ae la ia i ke oho; no ko kaumaha o ke oho maluna ona, nolaila ia i ako ia mea; ) kaupaona iho la ia i ke oho o kona poo, elua haneri sekela, e like me Ka ke alii hookau ana.
27 And there are born to Absalom three sons, and one daughter, and her name [is] Tamar; she was a woman of a fair appearance.
Ua hanau na Abesaloma ekolu keikikane, a hookahi kaikamahine, o Tamara kona inoa; he wahine maikai hoi ma kona helehelena.
28 And Absalom dwelleth in Jerusalem two years of days, and the face of the king he hath not seen;
Pela i noho ai o Abesaloma ma Ierusalema, elua makahiki okoa, aole hoi ia i ike aku i na maka o ke alii.
29 and Absalom sendeth unto Joab, to send him unto the king, and he hath not been willing to come unto him; and he sendeth again a second time, and he hath not been willing to come.
Nolaila, kena aku la o Abesaloma e kii ia loaba, e hoouna aku ia ia e hele i ke alii; aole nae ia i hele mai io na la; a hoouna hou aku la ia, o ka lua ia o ke kii ana, aole hoi ia i hele mai.
30 And he saith unto his servants, 'See, the portion of Joab [is] by the side of mine, and he hath barley there; go, and burn it with fire;' and the servants of Absalom burn the portion with fire.
Alaila i aku la ia i kana poe kauwa, Aia ka mahinaai a loaba e kokoke ana i kuu wahi, a he bale kana ilaila; ou haele oukou e puhi i ke ahi. A puhi aku la na kauwa a Abesaloma i ua mahinaai la i ke ahi.
31 And Joab riseth and cometh unto Absalom in the house, and saith unto him, 'Why have thy servants burned the portion that I have with fire?'
Alaila ku ae la o loaba, a hele mai io Abesaloma la i kona hale, i mai la ia ia, E heaha ka mea i puhi aku ai kau poe kauwa i kuu mahinaai i ke ahi.
32 And Absalom saith unto Joab, 'Lo, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, and I send thee unto the king to say, Why have I come in from Geshur? — good for me while I [am] there — and now, let me see the king's face, and if there is in me iniquity then thou hast put me to death.'
Olelo aku la o Abesaloma ia loaba, Aia hoi, ua hoouna aku la au iou la, me ka i ana aku, E hele mai ia nei, i hoouna aku ai au ia oe i ke alii, e i aku ia ia, Heaha ka mea i hoi mai nei au mai Gesura mai? E aho no wau e noho malaila a hiki i neia wa: ano hoi, e ae mai oe e ike aku au i na maka o ke alii; a ina he hewa iloko o'u, e pepehi mai keia ia'u.
33 And Joab cometh unto the king, and declareth [it] to him, and he calleth unto Absalom, and he cometh unto the king, and boweth himself to him, on his face, to the earth, before the king, and the king giveth a kiss to Absalom.
Alaila hele aku la o loaba i ke alii, a hai aku la ia ia: a hea mai la oia ia Abesaloma, a hele aku la ia i ke alii, a kulou iho la ia ma ka honua ilalo kona alo imua o ke alii; a honi mai la ke alii ia Abesaloma.
