< 2 Samuel 20 >
1 And there hath been called there a man of worthlessness, and his name [is] Sheba, son of Bichri, a Benjamite, and he bloweth with a trumpet, and saith, 'We have no portion in David, and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; each to his tents, O 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 And every man of Israel goeth up from after David, after Sheba son of Bichri, and the men of Judah have cleaved to their king, from the Jordan even unto 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 And David cometh in unto his house at Jerusalem, and the king taketh the ten women-concubines — whom he had left to keep the house, and putteth them in a house of ward, and sustaineth them, and unto them he hath not gone in, and they are shut up unto the day of their death, in widowhood living.
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 And the king saith unto Amasa, 'Call for me the men of Judah [in] three days, and thou, stand here,'
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 and Amasa goeth to call Judah, and tarrieth beyond the appointed time that he had appointed him;
Alaila hele aku la o Amasa e houluulu i ka Iuda: aka, ua lohi kela a hala ka manawa i haawiia nona.
6 and David saith unto Abishai, 'Now doth Sheba son of Bichri do evil to us more than Absalom; thou, take the servants of thy lord, and pursue after him, lest he have found for himself fenced cities, and delivered himself [from] our eye.'
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 And the men of Joab go out after him, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and all the mighty men, and they go out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba 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 they [are] near the great stone that [is] in Gibeon, and Amasa hath gone before them, and Joab [is] girded; his long robe he hath put on him, and upon it a girdle — a sword [is] fastened upon his loins in its sheath; and he hath gone out, and it falleth.
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 And Joab saith to Amasa, 'Art thou [in] peace, my brother?' and the right hand of Joab layeth hold on the beard of Amasa to give a kiss to 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 and Amasa hath not been watchful of the sword that [is] in the hand of Joab, and he smiteth him with it unto the fifth [rib], and sheddeth out his bowels to the earth, and he hath not repeated [it] to him, and he dieth; and Joab and Abishai his brother have pursued after Sheba 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 And a man hath stood by him, of the young men of Joab, and saith, 'He who hath delight in Joab, and he who [is] for David — after 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 And Amasa is rolling himself in blood, in the midst of the highway, and the man seeth that all the people have stood still, and he bringeth round Amasa out of the highway to the field, and casteth over him a garment, when he hath seen that every one who hath come by him — hath 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 hath been removed out of the highway, every man hath passed on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba 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 And he passeth over through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-Maachah, and to all the Berites, and they are assembled, and go in 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 and they go in and lay siege against him, in Abel of Beth-Maachah, and cast up a mount against the city, and it standeth in a trench, and all the people who are [are] with Joab are destroying, to cause the wall to fall.
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 And a wise woman calleth out of the city, 'Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, and I speak unto thee.'
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 And he cometh near unto her, and the woman saith, 'Art thou Joab?' and he saith, 'I [am].' And she saith to him, 'Hear the words of thy handmaid;' and he saith, 'I am hearing.'
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 and she speaketh, saying, 'They spake often in former times, saying, Let them diligently ask at Abel, and so they finished.
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] of the peaceable — faithful ones of Israel; thou art seeking to destroy a city, and a mother in Israel; why dost thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?
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 And Joab answereth and saith, 'Far be it — far be it from me; I do not swallow up nor 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; for a man of the hill-country of Ephraim — Sheba son of Bichri his name — hath lifted up his hand against the king, against David; give ye up him by himself, and I go away from the city.' And the woman saith unto Joab, 'Lo, his head is cast unto thee 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 And the woman cometh unto all the people in her wisdom, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and cast [it] unto Joab, and he bloweth with a trumpet, and they are scattered from the city, each to his tents, and Joab hath turned back to Jerusalem unto 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 And Joab [is] over all the host of Israel, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite, and over the Pelethite,
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 and Adoram [is] over the tribute, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] the remembrancer,
A o Adorama, maluna no ia o ke auhau: a o lehosapata ke keiki a Ahiluda ke kakaumooolelo:
25 and Sheva [is] scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar [are] priests,
A o Seva ke kakauolelo: a o Zadoka me Abiatara na kahuna:
26 and also, Ira the Jairite hath been minister to David.
A o Ira hoi no Iaira, kekahi alii ia no Davida.
