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,
Now the days of David had drawn near, so that he would die, and he instructed his son Solomon, saying:
2 Ke hele nei au i ka aoao o ko ka honua a pau: e hooikaika oe, a e hookanaka hoi;
“I am entering the way of all the earth. Be strengthened and be a good 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 observe the care of the Lord your God, so that you walk in his ways, so that you care for his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, just as it is written in the law of Moses. So may you understand everything that you do, in any direction that you may turn yourself.
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.
So may the Lord confirm his words, which he has spoken about me, saying: ‘If your sons will guard their ways, and if they will walk before me in truth, with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from you 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.
Also, you know what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, has done to me, what he did to the two leaders of the army of Israel, to Abner, the son of Ner, and to Amasa, the son of Jether. He killed them, and so he shed the blood of war in peace time, and he set the bloodshed of battle on his belt, which was around his waist, and in his shoes, which were 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)
Therefore, act according to your wisdom. And you shall not allow his gray head to be led away to death 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.
Then, too, repay grace to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite. And you shall allow them to eat at your table. For they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom, your brother.
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.
Also, you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, from Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went away to the camp. And he descended to meet me when I crossed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death by 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)
yet do not choose to treat him as if he were innocent. Since you are a wise man, you will know what to do with him. And you shall lead away his grey hair to death with blood.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Alaila hiamoe iho la o Davida me kona mau makua, a ua kanuia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida.
And so, David slept with his fathers, and he 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.
Now the days during which David reigned over Israel are forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, thirty-three in Jerusalem.
12 Alaila noho iho la o Solomona maluna o ka nohoalii o kona makuakane, a ua hooku paa loa ia kona aupuni.
Then Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.
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.
And Adonijah, the son of Haggith, entered to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said to him, “Is your entrance peaceful?” He responded, “It is peaceful.”
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.
And he added, “My word is for you.” She said to him, “Speak.” And he said:
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 kingdom was mine, and that all of Israel had preferred me for themselves as king. But the kingdom was transferred, and has become my brother’s. For it was appointed to him by 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.
Now therefore, I beg of you one petition. May you not confound my face.” And she said to him, “Speak.”
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.
And he said: “I beg that you may speak to king Solomon, for he is not able to refuse anything to you, so that he may give Abishag the Shunammite to me as wife.”
18 I aku la o Bateseba, He pono, e olelo aku no wau i ke alii, nou.
And Bathsheba said: “It is well. I will speak to the king on your behalf.”
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.
Then Bathsheba went to king Solomon, so that she might speak to him on behalf of Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and he reverenced her, and he sat down upon his throne. And a throne was stationed for the mother of the king, and she sat 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.
And she said to him: “I petition one small request from you. May you not confound my face.” And the king said to her: “Ask, my mother. For it is not right that I turn away your face.”
21 I ae la kela, E haawiia'ku o Abisaga no Sunama ia Adoniia kou hoahanau i wahine.
And she said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah, your brother, as 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.
And king Solomon responded, and he said to his mother: “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Why not request the kingdom for him! For he is my older brother, and he has Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the 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.
And so king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things! For Adonijah has spoken this word against his own 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 the Lord lives, who has confirmed me and placed me upon the throne of my father David, and who, just as he said, has made a house for me: Adonijah shall be put to death this day.”
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.
And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who put him to death, and so 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.
Also, the king said to Abiathar, the priest: “Go into Anathoth, to your own land, for you are a man worthy of death. But I will not put you to death this day, since you carried the ark of the Lord God before David, my father, and since you have endured hardship in all the things, for which my father labored.”
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.
Therefore, Solomon cast out Abiathar, so that he would not be the priest of the Lord, so that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke over the house of Eli at Shiloh.
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.
And the news came to Joab, for Joab had turned aside after Adonijah, and he had not turned aside after Solomon. And so, Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and he took hold of the horn 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.
And it was reported to king Solomon that Joab had fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and that he was beside the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, put him to death.”
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 went to the tabernacle of the Lord, and he said to him: “The king says this: ‘Come out.’” But he said: “I will not come out. Instead, I will die here.” Benaiah sent word back to the king, saying, “Joab said this, and he responded to me in this way.”
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 said to him, “Do just as he has said. And put him to death, and bury him. And so shall you take away the innocent blood, which was shed by Joab, from me and from my father’s house.
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.
And the Lord shall repay his blood upon his own head. For he killed two men, just and better than himself, and he killed them with the sword, while my father, David, did not know it: Abner, the son of Ner, leader of the military of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, leader of the army of Judah.
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.
And their blood shall be turned back upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his offspring forever. But as for David, and his offspring and house, and his throne, may there be peace from the Lord, even unto eternity.”
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.
And so Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up and, attacking him, put him to death. And he was buried in his own house in the desert.
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, the son of Jehoiada, in his place over the army. And he appointed Zadok, the priest, in place of Abiathar.
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.
Also, the king sent for and summoned Shimei, and he said to him: “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem, and live there. And do not depart from that place to here or to there.
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.
For on whatever day you will have departed and crossed the torrent Kidron, know that you shall be put to death. Your blood will be upon 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.
And Shimei said to the king: “The word is good. Just as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” And so Shimei lived in Jerusalem for many days.
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.
But it happened that, after three years, the servants of Shimei fled to Achish, the son of Maacah, the king of Gath. And it was reported to Shimei that his servants had gone away to 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.
And Shimei rose up, and he saddled his donkey. And went away to Achish in Gath, in order to seek his servants. And he led them away from Gath.
41 Haiia'ku la ia Solomona, ua hele aku o Simei mai Ierusalema aku i Gata, a ua hoi mai.
And it was reported to Solomon that Shimei had gone away 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.
And sending, he summoned him, and he said to him: “Did I not testify to you by the Lord, and warn you in advance, ‘On whatever day, having departed, you go forth to here or to there, know that you shall die?’ And you responded to me, ‘The word that I have heard is good.’
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?
Then why have you not kept the oath to the Lord, and the commandment which I instructed to 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;
And the king said to Shimei: “You know all the evil, of which your heart is conscious, which you did to David, my father. The Lord has repaid your wickedness upon your own head.”
45 A e pomaikai Solomona ke alii, a e hooku paa mau loa ia ka nohoalii o Davida ma ke alo o Iehova.
And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord, even 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.
And so the king commanded Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And going out, he struck him down, and he died.
