I Oihanaalii 19
1 MAHOPE mai o ia mea, make iho la o Nahasa ke alii o na mamo a Amona, a nohoalii iho la o Hanuna ma kona wahi.
After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
2 Olelo iho la o Davida, E lokomaikai no wau ia Hanuna ke keiki a Nahasa; no ka mea, i lokomaikai mai kona makuakane ia'u. Hoouna aku la o Davida i na elele e hooluolu aku ia ia no kona makuakane. A hiki aku la na elele o Davida i ka aina o na mamo a Amona, io Hanuna la, e hooluolu ia ia.
David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.
3 Aka, o na alii o na mamo a Amona, i aku la lakou ia Hanuna, Ke manao nei anei oe, e hoomaikai mai o Davida i kou makuakane i kona hoouna ana mai iou la i na mea hooluolu? Aole anei i hele mai kana mau kauwa iou nei e makaikai, a e hookahuli, a e hoomakakiu mai i ka aina?
But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honours your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”
4 Nolaila, lalau mai la o Hanuna i na kauwa a Davida, a kahi ae la i ko lakou umiumi, a okioki iho la i ko lakou mau aahu mawaena, ma ko lakou kikala, a kipaku mai la ia lakou.
So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Hele mai la kekahi, a hai aku la ia Davida i ka mea i hanaia mai i ua mau kanaka la. Hoouna aku ia ia e halawai me lakou: no ka mea, ua hilahila loa lakou. I aku la ke alii, E noho oukou ma Ieriko, a ulu ae ko oukou umiumi, alaila e hoi mai
Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
6 A ike iho la na mamo a Amona, ua pilau lakou imua o Davida, hoouka aku la o Hanuna me na mamo a Amona i na talena kala he tausani e hoolimalima no lakou i na halekaa a me na hoohololio mai Mesopotamia, a mai Suria-maaka, a mai Zoba mai.
When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
7 Hoolimalima ae la lakou i na kaa he kanakolukumamalua tausani, a me ke alii o Maaka, a me kona poe kanaka; a hele mai lakou a hoomoana imua o Medeba. Akoakoa mai la na mamo a Amona mailoko mai o ko lakou mau kulanakauhale, a hele mai i ke kaua.
So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 A lohe ae la o Davida, hoouna aku la oia ia Ioaba, me ka puali a pau o ka poe ikaika.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men.
9 Hele mai la ka poe mamo a Amona iwaho, a hoonohonoho i ke kaua ma ke alo o ka puka e komo ai iloko o ke kulanakauhale: a ku okoa ae la na alii i hiki mai ma ke kola.
The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
10 A ike aku la o Ioaba i ke alo o na kaua, mamua kekahi, a mahope kekahi, wae aku la oia i ka poe ui a pau o ka Iseraela, a hoonohonoho aku la ia lakou e ku e i ko Suria
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
11 A haawi aku la ia i ka poe i koe ma ka lima o Abisai kona kaikaina, a hoonohonoho aku oia ia lakou e ku e i na mamo a Amona.
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
12 I aku la oia, Ina e oi aku ka ikaika o ko Suria i ko'u, alaila e kokua mai oe ia'u: aka, ina e oi aku ka ikaika o na mamo a Amona i kou, alaila au e kokua aku ia oe.
He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
13 I nui ka ikaika, a e koa hoi kakou no ko kakou lahuikanaka, a me na kulanakauhale no ko kakou Akua: a e hana mai o Iehova i ka mea pono imua o kona maka.
Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him.”
14 Neenee aku la o Ioaba me na kanaka me ia imua o ko Suria, i ke kaua ana; a hee aku la lakou imua ona.
So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
15 A ike aku la na mamo a Amona, ua hee aku la ko Suria, alaila hee aku la hoi lakou imua o Abisai kona kaikaina, a komo aku la iloko o ke kulanakauhale. Alaila hele mai la o Ioaba i Ierusalema.
When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 A ike ae la ko Suria, ua pepehiia lakou imua o ka Iseraela, hoouna aku la lakou i na elele, a kai mai la lakou i ko Suria e noho ana ma kela aoao o ka muliwai: a imua o lakou o Sopaka ka lunakoa no Hadarezera.
When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them.
17 A hai aku la kekahi ia Davida: a hoakoakoa ae la oia i ka Iseraela a pau, a hele aku la ma kela aoao o Ioredane, a hiki aku la io lakou la, a hoonohonoho aku la i ke kaua ku e ia lakou. Aia hoonohonoho aku ai o Davida i ke kaua ku e ia lakou, alaila lakou i kaua mai me ia.
David was told that, so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
18 A hee aku la ko Suria imua o ka Iseraela; a pepehi aku la o Davida i na kanaka o na halekaa ehiku tausani, a me na kanaka kaniwawae he kanaha tausani, a make iho la o Sopaka ka lunakaua.
The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain of the army.
19 A ike iho la na kauwa a Hadarezera, ua pepehiia lakou imua o ka Iseraela, hookuikahi mai la lakou me Davida, a lilo iho la i poe kauwa nana Aole hoi i manao ko Suria e kokua hou aku i na mamo a Amona.
When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more.
