I Samuela 20
1 HOLO aku la o Davida mai Naiota i Rama aku, a hele mai, a i mai la imua o Ionatana, Heaha la ka'u i hana'i heaha ko'u hewa, heaha KO'U hala imua o kou makuakane, i imi mai ai ia i kuu ola?
And David fled from Nayoth near Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is my iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
2 I mai la oia ia ia, Aole loa; aole oe e make: aia hoi, aole e hana ko'u makuakane i ka mea nui, aole hoi i ka mea liilii, ke hai ole mai oia ia'u; no ke aha la ko'u makuakane i huna'i i keia mea ia'u? Aole pela.
And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father is not wont to do a great thing or a small thing, which he doth not inform me of; and why should my father conceal this thing from me? it is not so.
3 Hoohiki aku la o Davida, i aku la, Ua ike pono kou makuakane i ka loaa ana ia'u o ke aloha imua o kou maka; a ua olelo iho, Aole e hoike keia mea ia Ionatana, o kaumaha ia: aka, he oiaio, ma ke ola o Iehova, a me ke ola o kou uhane, hookahi kapuwai wale no i koe iwaena o'u a me ka make.
But David swore again, and said, Thy father well knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; wherefore he said, Jonathan must not know this, lest he be grieved: nevertheless, as truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there was but one step between me and death.
4 Olelo aku la o Ionatana ia Davida, O ka mea a kou naau e i mai ai, o ka'u ia e hana aku ai ia oe.
Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul sayeth will I do for thee.
5 I mai la o Davida ia Ionatana, Aia hoi, apopo ka malama hou, a he pono ia'u e noho pu me ke alii i ka ahaaina: aka, e kuu mai oe ia'u, a huna au ia'u iho ma ke kula, a hiki i ke ahiahi o ka po akolu.
And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new-moon, and I should as usual sit with the king to eat; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening.
6 Ina paha i ike kou makuakane i ko'u nalo ana, alaila e i aku oe, Ua noi ikaika mai o Davida ia'u e holo ia ma Betelehema i kona kulanakauhale; no ka mea, ilaila ka mohai makahiki no ka ohana a pau.
If thy father at all miss me, then do thou say, David asked earnestly leave of me that he might run to Beth-lechem his city; for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
7 Ina paha i olelo mai ia peneia, Ua pono; ina na maluhia kau kauwa: aka, ina paha i huhu nui mai ia, he oiaio, ua ino kona manao ana mai.
If he should say thus, It is well: then shall thy servant have peace; but if it be at all displeasing to him, then know that the evil is determined on by him.
8 No ia mea, e hana mai i kau kauwa me ke aloha; no ka mea, ua hookomo mai oe i kau kauwa iloko o ke kuikahi me oe ma o Iehova la: ina paha he hewa iloko o'u, nau no wau e pepehi; no ke aha la oe e lawe aku ai ia'u i kou makuakane?
And do thou deal kindly with thy servant; for into a covenant of the Lord hast thou brought thy servant with thee; but if there be in me any iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldst thou bring me to thy father?
9 I aku la o Ionatana, Aole loa ia mea ia oe: no ka mea, ina paha i ike pono wau, ua ino ka manao ana o ko'u makuakane e hele mai maluna ou, aole anei au i hai aku ia oe?
And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee; for if I should know for certain that evil were determined on by my father to come upon thee, would I not tell it thee?
10 I mai o Davida ia Ionatana, Nawai la wau e hai mai? Pehea la, ke olelo pakike mai kou makuakane ia oe?
Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell it me? or what, if thy father answer thee roughly?
11 I aku la o Ionatana ia Davida, Ea, e hele kaua iwaho ma ke kula, A hele aku la laua ma ke kula.
And Jonathan said unto David, Come, let us go out into the field. And they went out, both of them, into the field.
12 I aku la o Ionatana ia Davida, E Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, aia e ninau pono aku au i ko'u makuakane i kekahi manawa i ka la apopo, a ia la aku paha, aia hoi, he mea pono no Davida, a e hoouna ole aku au iou la, a e hai ia oe;
And Jonathan said unto David, May the God of Israel [punish me] if, when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, or of the third day, and, behold, if he be good toward David, I do not then send unto thee, and inform thee of it.
13 E hana mai o Iehova ia Ionatana pela, a nui aku hoi: ina paha i makemake ko'u makuakane e hana ino ia oe; alaila e hai aku au ia oe, a e hookuu aku ia oe e hele oe me ke aloha; a o Iehova pu kekahi me oe, e like me ia mamua me ko'u makuakane.
May the Lord do so to Jonathan and continue so yet farther, that, if it please my father [to do] thee evil, I will inform thee of it, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace; and may the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
14 Aole i ko'u manawa e ola ana wale no oe e hoike mai ia'u i ka lokomaikai o Iehova, i make ole ai au;
And wilt thou not, should I be yet alive, show me the kindness of the Lord, that I may not die?
15 Aka, mai hooki oe i kou lokomaikai i ko'u hale i na manawa a pau; aole hoi i ka manawa e hookiia'i na enemi a pau o Davida, mai ke alo aku o ka honua.
But, surely, thou wilt not withdraw thy kindness from my house for ever, not even when the Lord cutteth off the enemies of David, every one, from off the face of the earth.
16 A kuikahi iho la o Ionatana me ko ka hale o Davida, [i ka i ana, ] Na Iehova e imi mai ia ma ka lima o ko Davida poe enemi.
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, [saying, ] May the Lord require it at the hand of David's enemies.
17 A hoohiki hou aku la o Ionatana me Davida, no kona aloha ia ia; no ka mea, ua aloha no oia ia ia, e like me ia i aloha ai i kona ola iho.
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, by his love for him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
18 I aku la o Ionatana ia ia, Apopo ka mahina hou; a e ikeia kou nalo ana, no ka mea, e ikeia kou noho kaawale.
Then Jonathan said to David, Tomorrow is the new-moon: and thou wilt be missed, because thy seat will be left empty.
19 A i ka po akolu, e iho wawe oe a hiki ma kahi au i pee ai i ka la o ka hana ana, a e noho oe ma ka pohaku o Ezela:
And when thou hast stayed till the third day, then shalt thou go down greatly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself on the work-day; and thou shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
20 A e pana aku au i na pua ekolu ma ka aoao, e like me ka pana ana'ku i ka hoailona.
And I will myself shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I were shooting at a mark.
21 Aia hoi, e hoouna aku au i kekahi keiki e hele e imi i na pua. A ina paha e olelo akaka aku au i ke keiki, Aia na pua ma keia aoao ou, e lawe ia mau mea; alaila e hele mai oe: no ka mea, he pomaikai nou, aohe mea ino, ma ke ola o Iehova.
And, behold, I will send the lad, saying, Go, find the arrows; if I should now say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee: then take him and come; for there is peace to thee, and it is nothing; as the Lord liveth.
22 Aka, ina e olelo aku au i ke keiki peneia, Aia na pua ma o aku ou; alaila e hele e aku oe: no ka mea, na Iehova oe i Hoouna aku ai.
But if thus I should say unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee: then go thy way, for the Lord hath sent thee off.
23 A ma ka mea a kaua i kamailio ai, aia hoi, o Iehova no iwaena o kaua i ka manawa a pau.
And touching the matter of which we have spoken, thou and I, behold, the Lord is between me and thee for ever.
24 A pee iho la o Davida ma ke kula: a hiki mai ka mahina hou, noho iho la ke alii e ahaaina ai.
So David hid himself in the field: and when the new-moon was come, the king set himself down to the repast to eat.
25 Noho iho ke alii maluna o kona noho, me ia i ka manawa mamua, maluna o ka noho ma ka paia: a ku ae la o Ionatana, a noho iho la o Abenera ma ka aoao o Saula, a ua kaawale ko Davida wahi.
And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, upon the seat by the wall: and when Jonathan arose, Abner seated himself by the side of Saul, and David's place was left empty.
26 Aka, aole o Saula i olelo iki ia la: no ka mea, manao iho la ia, ua hiki mai kekahi mea ia ia, ua haumia oia; oiaio, ua haumia oia.
Nevertheless Saul spoke not the least on that day; for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; because he hath not yet purified himself.
27 A ia la ae, oia ka po alua o ka malama, ua kaawale ko Davida wahi; ninau aku la o Saula ia Ionatana i kana keiki, No ke aha la i hele ole mai ai ke keiki a Iese i ka ahaaina inehinei a i keia la?
And it came to pass on the morrow, the second day of the new-moon, that David's place was left empty; and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore is the son of Jesse not come, both yesterday and today, to the repast?
28 I mai la o Ionatana ia Saula, Ua noi ikaika mai o Davida ia'u, e hele ia ma Betelehema.
And Jonathan answered Saul, David asked earnestly leave of me to go as far as Beth-lechem.
29 A i mai la ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e kuu mai oe ia'u e hele, no ka mea, he mohai ohana no makou ma ke kulanakauhale, a ua kauoha mai kuu kaikuaana ia'u; ano hoi, ina ua loaa ia'u ke aloha i kou maka, e ae mai oe ia'u e hele koke aku au e ike i ko'u mau hoahanau: oia ka mea i hele ole mai ai ia i ka papaaina o ke alii.
And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for we have a family-sacrifice in the city, and my brother himself hath commanded it to me; and now, if I have found favor in thy eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, that I may see my brothers: therefore is he not come unto the king's table.
30 Alaila hoaia ka inaina o Saula ia Ionatana, i aku la ia ia, E ke keiki paakiki, kekee, aole anei au i ike, ua koho aku oe i ke keiki a Iese, i mea hilahila nou, a me ka hilahila o kahi huna o kou makuwahine?
And the anger of Saul was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of perverse rebelliousness! do I not know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thy own shame, and to the shame of thy mother's nakedness?
31 No ka mea, i na la a pau o ke ola ana o ke keiki a Iese maluna o ka honua, aole e hookupaaia oe a me kou aupuni: ano hoi, e hoouna aku oe, a e lawe mai ia ia io'u nei, no ka mea, e pono no ia ke make.
For all the days that the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou wilt not have any permanence with thy kingdom: therefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
32 Olelo mai la o Ionatana ia Saula i kona makuakane, i mai la ia ia, No ke aha la e pepehiia'i oia? heaha kana i hana'i?
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be put to death? what hath he done?
33 Hou aku la o Saula i ka ihe ia ia e pepehi ia ia: no ia mea, ike iho la o Ionatana i ka manao ana o kona makuakane e pepehi ia Davida.
And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him: and Jonathan understood that it was determined on by his father to put David to death.
34 Ku ae la o Ionatana mai ka papaaina mai me ka huhu wela, aole ia i ai i ka ai i ka lua o ka la o ka malama, no kona kaumaha ia Davida, no ka mea, ua olelo hoino kona makuakane ia ia.
And Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food on the second day of the new-moon; for he was grieved for David; because his father had made him feel ashamed.
35 A i kakahiaka ae, hele aku la o Ionatana ma ke kula i ka manawa i oleloia ai me Davida, a me ia pu kekahi keiki.
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field to the place appointed with David, and a little lad was with him.
36 I aku la ia i kona keiki, E holo, e imi i na pua a'u e pana aku ai. A i kona holo ana, pana aku la ia i ka pua ma o aku ona.
And he said unto his lad, Run, do find out the arrows which I shoot: and the lad ran, and he shot the arrow so as to pass beyond him.
37 A hiki aku la ke keiki ma kahi o ka pua a Ionatana i pana aku ai, kahea aku la o Ionatana i ke keiki, i aku la, Aole anei ma o aku ou ka pua?
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the lad, and said, Behold, the arrow is beyond thee!
38 Kahea aku la o Ionatana mahope o ke keiki, E lalelale, e wiki, mai kali oe. Hoiliili ae la ke keiki o Ionatana i na pua, a hoi mai i kona haku.
And Jonathan called after the lad, Make haste, speed, stay not: and Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
39 Aole ike iki ua keiki la: o Ionatana laua o Davida wale no ka i ike ia mea.
But the lad knew not the least: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 Haawi aku la o Ionatana i kana mea kaua ma kona keiki, i aku la ia ia, O hele, a lawe aku ma ke kulanakauhale.
And Jonathan gave his weapons unto the lad who was with him, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.
41 A hala aku la ke keiki, ku ae la o Davida ma ke kukuluhema, a haule iho la ilalo ke alo ma ka honua, a kulou iho la ekolu kulou ana: honi iho la laua kekahi i kekahi, a uwe pu laua, a nui aku la ka Davida.
And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose from the south side [of the stone], and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
42 I aku la o Ionatana ia Davida, O hele me ka malu, no ka mea, ua hoohiki kaua a elua ma ka inoa o Iehova, i ka i ana ae, O Iehova no iwaena o'u a o oe, a iwaena hoi o ko'u hua a o kou hua i ka manawa a pau. Ku ae la ia, a hele aku la; a hoi aku la o Ionatana ma ke kulanakauhale.
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace: what we have sworn, both of us, in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever, [shall be kept]. And he arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
