I Na Lii 2
1 HOOKOKOKE mai la hoi na la o Davida e make ai; a kauoha mai la oia ia Solomona i kana keiki, i mai la,
As the time drew near for David to die, he charged his son Solomon,
2 Ke hele nei au i ka aoao o ko ka honua a pau: e hooikaika oe, a e hookanaka hoi;
“I am about to go the way of all the earth. So be strong and prove yourself a man.
3 A e malama oe i ke kauoha a Iehova kou Akua, e hele ma kona mau aoao, me ka malama i kona mau kapu, a me kana mau kauoha, a me kona mau kanawai, a me kana mau olelo me ia i kakauia'i ma ke kanawai ia Mose, i pomaikai oe ma na mea a pau au e hana aku ai, a i na wahi a pau e huli ae ai oe:
And keep the charge of the LORD your God to walk in His ways and to keep His statutes, commandments, ordinances, and decrees, as is written in the Law of Moses, so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you turn,
4 I hooko iho ai o Iehova i kana olelo ana i olelo mai ai no'u, i ka i ana mai, Ina e malama kau mau keiki i ko lakou aoao, e hele imua o'u me ka oiaio, me ko lakou naau a pau, a me ko lakou uhane a pau, aole oe e nele i ke kanaka ole (wahi ana) e noho maluna o ka nohoalii o ka Iseraela.
and so that the LORD may fulfill His promise to me: ‘If your descendants take heed to walk faithfully before Me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’
5 A ua ike no hoi oe i ka mea a Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia i hana mai ai ia'u, a me ka mea ana i hana'ku ai i na luna elua o ka poe koa o ka Iseraela, ia Abenera ke keiki a Nera, a ia Amasa ke keiki a Ietera; ua pepehi oia ia laua, a ua hookahe oia i ke koko o ke kaua i ka wa maluhia, ua kau hoi oia i ke koko o ke kaua ma kona kaei i kaeiia'i kona puhaka, a ma kona mau kamaa i hookomoia'i kona mau wawae.
Moreover, you know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me—what he did to Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether, the two commanders of the armies of Israel. He killed them in peacetime to avenge the blood of war. He stained with the blood of war the belt around his waist and the sandals on his feet.
6 Nolaila e hana oe mamuli o kou akamai, i ole ai e iho maluhia kona poohina i ka luakupapau. (Sheol h7585)
So act according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray head go down to Sheol in peace. (Sheol h7585)
7 Aka, e lokomaikai aku oe i na keiki a Barezilai no Gileada, o lakou kekahi o ka poe e ai ana ma kou papaaina; no ka mea, pela lakou i hele mai ai ia'u i ko'u hee ana imua o Abesaloma kou hoahanau.
But show loving devotion to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table, because they stood by me when I fled from your brother Absalom.
8 Aia hoi me oe o Simei ke keiki a Gera ka Beniamina no Bahurima, ua hoino wale mai oia ia'u me ka olelo hoino loa i ka la i hele aku ai au i Mahanaima; aka, ua hele ae ia e halawai me au ma Ioredane, a hoohiki aku la au nona, ma o Iehova la, i aku la, Aole au e pepehi aku ia oe me ka pahikaua.
Keep an eye on Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim who is with you. He called down bitter curses against me on the day I went to Mahanaim, but when he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD: ‘I will never put you to the sword.’
9 Ano hoi, mai hoapono oe ia ia, no ka mea, he kanaka naauao no oe, a ua ike oe i kau mea e pono ai ke hana aku ia ia; aka, e hooiho oe i kona poohina ilalo i ka luakupapau me ke koko. (Sheol h7585)
Now therefore, do not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man. You know what you ought to do to him to bring his gray head down to Sheol in blood.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Alaila hiamoe iho la o Davida me kona mau makua, a ua kanuia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida.
Then David rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David.
11 A o na la i alii ai o Davida maluna o ka Iseraela he kanaha mau makahiki ia; ma Heberona i alii ai oia i na makahiki ehiku, a ma Ierusalema i alii ai oia i na makahiki he kanakolukumamakolu.
The length of David’s reign over Israel was forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
12 Alaila noho iho la o Solomona maluna o ka nohoalii o kona makuakane, a ua hooku paa loa ia kona aupuni.
So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was firmly established.
13 Alaila hele mai la o Adoniia ke keiki a Hagita io Bateseba la ka makuwahine o Solomona. Ninau aku la oia, Ua hele mai nei anei oe me ke aloha? I mai la ia, Me ke aloha.
Now Adonijah son of Haggith went to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, and she asked, “Do you come in peace?” “Yes, in peace,” he replied.
14 A olelo mai la hoi ia, He wahi manao ka'u e olelo aku ai ia oe. A i aku la kela, E olelo mai.
Then he said, “I have something to tell you.” “Say it,” she answered.
15 Olelo mai la ia, Ua ike no oe, ia'u no ke aupuni, a ua kau na maka o ka Iseraela a pau ia'u i alii ae au; aka, ua hoohuliia ke aupuni, a ua lilo ae nei i ko'u hoahanau: no ka mea, nona no ia, mai Iehova mai.
“You know that the kingship was mine,” he said. “All Israel expected that I should reign, but the kingship has turned to my brother, for it has come to him from the LORD.
16 Ano la hoi, hookahi mea a'u e noi ai ia oe, mai hoole mai oe ia'u. I aku la oia ia ia, E olelo mai no.
So now I have just one request of you; do not deny me.” “State your request,” she told him.
17 I mai la hoi oia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe e olelo oe ia Solomona ke alii, (no ka mea aole oia e hoole ia oe, ) e haawi mai oia ia Abisaga no Sunama ia'u i wahine.
Adonijah replied, “Please speak to King Solomon, since he will not turn you down. Let him give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.”
18 I aku la o Bateseba, He pono, e olelo aku no wau i ke alii, nou.
“Very well,” Bathsheba replied. “I will speak to the king for you.”
19 Hele aku la o Bateseba i ke alii ia Solomona, e i aku ia ia no Adoniia. Ku ae la hoi ke alii iluna e halawai me ia, a kulou iho la ia ia, a noho iho la ma kona nohoalii, a ua hoonoho iho i ka noho no ka makuwahine o ke alii; a noho iho oia ma kona lima akau.
So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. The king stood up to greet her, bowed to her, and sat down on his throne. Then the king had a throne brought for his mother, who sat down at his right hand.
20 Alaila i ae la ia, Hookahi mea iki ka'u e noi aku ai ia oe; mai hoole mai oe ia'u. A olelo ae la ke alii ia ia, E olelo mai no oe, e kuu makuwahine, no ka mea, aole au e hoole aku ia oe.
“I have just one small request of you,” she said. “Do not deny me.” “Make your request, my mother,” the king replied, “for I will not deny you.”
21 I ae la kela, E haawiia'ku o Abisaga no Sunama ia Adoniia kou hoahanau i wahine.
So Bathsheba said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah as his wife.”
22 Olelo ae la ke alii Solomona, i ae la i kona makuwahine, No ke aha la oe i noi mai nei ia Abisaga no Sunama na Adoniia? E noi mai oe i ke aupuni kekahi nona, no ka mea, o ko'u kaikuaana no ia, nona hoi, a no Abiatara ke kahuna, a no Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia.
King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Since he is my older brother, you might as well request the kingdom for him and for Abiathar the priest and for Joab son of Zeruiah!”
23 Alaila hoohiki Solomona ke alii ma o Iehova la, i aku la, Me ia e hana mai ai ke Akua ia'u, a e hui hou, ke olelo ku e ole o Adoniia i keia olelo i kona ola iho.
Then King Solomon swore by the LORD: “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if Adonijah has not made this request at the expense of his life.
24 Ano hoi, me ke ola ana o Iehova, ka mea nana i hooku paa mai ia'u, a i hoonoho ia'u ma ka nohoalii o Davida ko'u makuakane, ka mea nana i hana i hale no'u, e like me kana olelo hoopomaikai, e make no o Adoniia i keia la.
And now, as surely as the LORD lives—the One who established me, who set me on the throne of my father David, and who founded for me a dynasty as He promised—surely Adonijah shall be put to death today!”
25 Kena ae la o Solomona ke alii ma ka lima o Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada; lele aku la oia ia ia a make ia.
So King Solomon sent the order to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who struck down Adonijah, and he died.
26 A olelo mai la ke alii ia Abiatara ke kahuna, E hele aku oe i Anatota, i kau mau mahinaai ponoi; no ka mea, he pono ke make oe: aka, aole au e pepehi aku ia oe i keia mau la, no ka mea, ua hali oe i ka pahuberita o ka Haku Iehova imua o Davida ko'u makuakane, a ua hookaumahaia oe i na mea a pau i hookaumahaia'i ko'u makuakane.
Then the king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go back to your fields in Anathoth. Even though you deserve to die, I will not put you to death at this time, since you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and you suffered through all that my father suffered.”
27 Pela i kipaku aku ai o Solomona ia Abiatara mai kona kahuna ana no Iehova, i hooko i ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo ai no ka ohana a Eli ma Silo.
So Solomon banished Abiathar from the priesthood of the LORD and thus fulfilled the word that the LORD had spoken at Shiloh against the house of Eli.
28 Alaila hiki ae la ka olelo ia Ioaba; no ka mea, ua huli ae o Ioaba mamuli o Adoniia aole nae ia i huli mamuli o Abesaloma: a holo aku la o Ioaba i ka halelewa o Iehova, a lalau ae la i na pepeiaohao o ke kuahu.
When the news reached Joab, who had conspired with Adonijah but not with Absalom, he fled to the tent of the LORD and took hold of the horns of the altar.
29 A ua haiia'ku i ke alii ia Solomona, Ua holo aku o Ioaba i ka halelewa o Iehova, aia hoi ia ma ke kuahu. Alaila kena ae la o Solomona ia Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, i ae la, E hele oe e lele aku ia ia.
It was reported to King Solomon: “Joab has fled to the tent of the LORD and is now beside the altar.” So Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, strike him down!”
30 A hele aku la o Benaia i ka halelewa o Iehova, i aku la ia ia, Ke i mai nei ke alii, E hele mai oe. I mai kela, Aole, aka, maanei au e make ai. A hoi hoike o Benaia i ke alii, i aku la, Pela i olelo mai ai o Ioaba, a pela i hoike mai ai oia ia'u.
And Benaiah entered the tent of the LORD and said to Joab, “The king says, ‘Come out!’” But Joab replied, “No, I will die here.” So Benaiah relayed the message to the king, saying, “This is how Joab answered me.”
31 A i mai la ke alii ia ia, E hana aku oe e like me kana i olelo mai ai, e lele aku ia ia a e kanu ia ia, i lawe aku oe i ke koko hala ole a Ioaba i hookahe ai, mai o'u aku nei, a mai ka ohana aku a ko'u makuakane.
And the king replied, “Do just as he says. Strike him down and bury him, and so remove from me and from the house of my father the innocent blood that Joab shed.
32 A e hoihoi aku o Iehova i kona koko maluna o ke poo ona, o ka mea i lele aku i na kanaka elua ua oi aku ko laua pono me ko laua maikai mamua o kona, a pepehi aku la ia laua me ka pahikaua, me ka ike ole o Davida ko'u makuakane, ia Abenera ke keiki a Nera, ka luna o ka poe koa o ka Iseraela, a me Amasa ke keiki a Ietera ka luna o ka poe koa o ka Iuda.
The LORD will bring his bloodshed back upon his own head, for without the knowledge of my father David he struck down two men more righteous and better than he when he put to the sword Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel’s army, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah’s army.
33 Nolaila e hoi ae ko laua koko maluna o ke poo o Ioaba, a maluna o kana mau keiki a mau aku; aka, maluna o Davida a me kana mau keiki, a me kana ohana, a me kona nohoalii, e kau mau loa'i ka pomaikai mai ka Haku mai.
Their blood will come back upon the heads of Joab and his descendants forever; but for David, his descendants, his house, and his throne, there shall be peace from the LORD forever.”
34 Hele aku la hoi o Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, lele aku la ia ia, a pepehi aku ia ia; a ua kanuia oia iloko o kona hale i ka waonahele.
So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up, struck down Joab, and killed him. He was buried at his own home in the wilderness.
35 A hoonoho ae la ke alii ia Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, iloko o kona wahi maluna o ka poe koa, a hookomo ae la ke alii ia Zadoka i ka hakahaka o Abiatara.
And the king appointed Benaiah son of Jehoiada in Joab’s place over the army, and he appointed Zadok the priest in Abiathar’s place.
36 Hoouna ae la ke alii e kii ia Simei, a i ae la ia ia, E kukulu oe i hale nou ma Ierusalema, a malaila e noho ai, mai hele aku oe mai ia wahi aku.
Then the king summoned Shimei and said to him, “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem and live there, but do not go anywhere else.
37 No ka mea, eia, i kou la e puka aku ai maluna o ke kahawai Kederona, e ike oe he oiaio no e make io no oe, a maluna o kou poo iho kou koko.
On the day you go out and cross the Kidron Valley, know for sure that you will die; your blood will be on your own head.”
38 Olelo aku la hoi o Simei i ke alii, he pono ka olelo; a e like me ka olelo a kuu haku ke alii, pela no e hana aku ai kau kauwa. A noho iho la o Simei ma Ierusalema i na la he nui.
“The sentence is fair,” Shimei replied. “Your servant will do as my lord the king has spoken.” And Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time.
39 Eia kekahi, i ka pau ana o na makahiki ekolu, holo malu aku la elua o na kauwa a Simei ia Akisa ke keiki a Maaka ke alii o Gata: a olelo mai la lakou ia Simei, i mai la, Aia kau mau kauwa ma Gata.
After three years, however, two of Shimei’s slaves ran away to Achish son of Maacah, king of Gath. And Shimei was told, “Look, your slaves are in Gath.”
40 Ku ae la hoi o Simei, a kau aku la i ka noholio maluna o kona hoki a holo aku la i Gata, ia Akisa e imi ana i kana mau kauwa; a holo no Simei a hoihoi mai i kana mau kauwa mai Gata mai.
So Shimei saddled his donkey and set out to Achish at Gath in search of his slaves, and he brought them back from Gath.
41 Haiia'ku la ia Solomona, ua hele aku o Simei mai Ierusalema aku i Gata, a ua hoi mai.
When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned,
42 Hoouna ae ke alii e kii ia Simei, a i ae la ia ia, Aole anei na'u i hoohiki ai oe ma o Iehova la, a i olelo aku au ia oe penei, I kou la e puka aku ai a hele mawaho i kahi e, e ike oe he oiaio, e make io no oe? a olelo mai la oe ia'u, He pono ka olelo a'u e lohe nei.
the king summoned Shimei and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by the LORD and warn you, ‘On the day you leave and go elsewhere, know for sure that you will die’? And you told me, ‘The sentence is fair; I will comply.’
43 No ke aha la hoi i malama ole ai oe i kau mea i hoohiki ai no Iehova, a me ke kauoha a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oe?
So why have you not kept your oath to the LORD and the command that I gave you?”
44 Olelo hou ae la ke alii ia Simei, Ua ike no oe i ka hewa a pau i maopopo i kou naau, au i hana mai ai ia Davida ko'u makuakane: nolaila e hoihoi aku o Iehova i kou hewa maluna iho o kou poo;
The king also said, “You know in your heart all the evil that you did to my father David. Therefore the LORD will bring your evil back upon your head.
45 A e pomaikai Solomona ke alii, a e hooku paa mau loa ia ka nohoalii o Davida ma ke alo o Iehova.
But King Solomon will be blessed and David’s throne will remain secure before the LORD forever.”
46 Alaila kena ae la ke alii ia Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, a puka ae ia, a lele aku ia ia a make ia. A ua hoopaaia ke aupuni iloko o ka lima o Solomona.
Then the king commanded Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei down, and he died. Thus the kingdom was firmly established in the hand of Solomon.
