I Samuela 22
1 HELE o Davida mai laila aku, a holo aku la ma ke ana o Adulama: a lohe ae la kona mau hoahanau a me na mea a pau o ka hale o kona makuakane, hele lakou io na la ilaila.
So David left Gath and took refuge in the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and the rest of his father’s household heard about it, they went down to him there.
2 O na kanaka a pau i popilikia, a me na kanaka aie a pau, a me na kanaka a pau i eha ma ka naau, hoakoakoa ae la lakou io na la: a lilo ia i luna no lakou: eha haneri kanaka paha me ia.
And all who were distressed or indebted or discontented rallied around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him.
3 A hele o Davida mai laila aku a Mizepa ma Moaba: i aku la ia i ke alii o Moaba, Ke noi aku nei au, e ae mai oe i ko'u makuakane a me ko'u makuwahine e hele mai e noho me oe, a ike au i ka mea a ke Akua e hana mai ai no'u.
From there David went to Mizpeh of Moab, where he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother stay with you until I learn what God will do for me.”
4 A lawe mai oia ia laua i ke alii o Moaba, a noho laua me ia i na la a pau a Davida i noho ai maluna o ka puukaua.
So he left them in the care of the king of Moab, and they stayed with him the whole time David was in the stronghold.
5 Olelo aku la ke kaula a Gada ia Davida, Mai noho oe ma ka puukaua; e hele aku, a hiki oe ma ka aina o ka Iuda. A hele aku la o Davida a hiki ma ka ululaau o Hareta.
Then the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Depart and go into the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.
6 A lohe ae la o Saula, ua ikeia o Davida, a me na kanaka me ia, (e noho ana o Saula ma Gibea malalo o ka laau ma kahi kiekie, a ma kona lima kana ihe, a ua hoonohoia kana mau kauwa a puni ona; )
Soon Saul learned that David and his men had been discovered. At that time Saul was in Gibeah, sitting under the tamarisk tree on the hill at Gibeah, with his spear in hand and all his servants standing around him.
7 Olelo aku la o Saula i kana poe kauwa e ku ana a puni ona, E hoolohe ano, e na Beniamina; e haawi anei ke keiki a Iese i na mahinaai, a me na pawaina na oukou a pau, a e hoolilo ia oukou a pau i luna tausani, a i luna haneri;
Then Saul said to his servants, “Listen, men of Benjamin! Is the son of Jesse giving all of you fields and vineyards and making you commanders of thousands or hundreds?
8 I kipi ai oukou a pau ia'u, aohe mea e hoike mai ia'u, ua hana ka'u keiki me ke keiki a Iese i kuikahi, aole kekahi o oukou e manao mai ia'u, aole hoi e hoike mai ia'u, ua hoala ka'u keiki i ka'u kauwa e ku e ia'u, e hoohalua, e like me ia i keia la?
Is that why all of you have conspired against me? Not one of you told me that my own son had made a covenant with the son of Jesse. Not one of you has shown concern for me or revealed to me that my son has stirred up my own servant to lie in wait against me, as is the case today.”
9 Alaila olelo mai o Doega no Edoma, oia ka luna o na kauwa a Saula, i mai la, Ua ike au i ke keiki a Iese e hele ana ma Noba io Ahimeleka la ke keiki a Ahituba.
But Doeg the Edomite, who had stationed himself with Saul’s servants, answered: “I saw the son of Jesse come to Ahimelech son of Ahitub at Nob.
10 A ua ninau aku oia ia Iehova nona, a haawi aku i ka ai nana, a haawi aku hoi ia ia i ka pahikaua a Golia ke kanaka no ko Pilisetia.
Ahimelech inquired of the LORD for him and gave him provisions. He also gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
11 Alaila hoouna aku ke alii e hea ia Ahimeleka, ke kahuna, ke keiki a Ahituba, a me ko ka hale a pau o kona makuakane, na kahuna ma Noba; a hele mai lakou a pau i ke alii.
Then the king sent messengers to summon Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and his father’s whole family, who were priests at Nob. And all of them came to the king.
12 I aku la o Saula, Ano e hoolohe mai oe, e ke keiki a Ahituba. I mai la kela, Eia wau, e kuu haku.
“Listen now, son of Ahitub,” said Saul. “Here I am, my lord,” he replied.
13 I aku la o Saula ia ia, No ke aha la i kipi ai olua ia'u o oe a me ke keiki a Iese, i kou haawi ana ia ia i ka berena, a me ka pahikaua, a ua ninau oe i ke Akua nona, i ku e mai ia ia'u e halua, e like me ia i keia la.
And Saul asked him, “Why have you and the son of Jesse conspired against me? You gave him bread and a sword and inquired of God for him so that he could rise up against me to lie in wait, as he is doing today.”
14 Olelo mai la o Ahimeleka i ke alii, i mai la, Owai la ka mea o kau poe kauwa i malama pono e like me Davida, ka hunonakane a ke alii, a ua hele ia i kau i ana aku, a ua manao nui ia ma kou hale?
Ahimelech answered the king, “Who among all your servants is as faithful as David, the king’s son-in-law, the captain of your bodyguard who is honored in your house?
15 O kuu hoomaka no anei ia e ninau aku i ke Akua nona? Aole ia'u ia mea: mai hooili ke alii ia mea maluna o kana kauwa, maluna hoi o ko ka hale a pau o ko'u makuakane; no ka mea, aole i ike kau kauwa i ka mea uuku, aole hoi i ka mea nui o keia mea.
Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of my father’s household, for your servant knew nothing of this whole affair—not in part or in whole.”
16 I aku la ke alii, E make io auanei oe, e Ahimeleka, o oe a me ko ka hale a pau o kou makuakane.
But the king replied, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house!”
17 Olelo aku la ke alii i ka poe kiai e ku ana a puni ona, E huli ae oukou a e pepehi i na kahuna no Iehova; no ka mea, ua hui pu ko lakou lima me Davida, a ua ike lakou i kona mahuka ana, aole hoi i hoike mai ia'u Aka, aole makemake na kauwa a ke alii e kau aku i ko lakou lima e lele maluna o na kahuna no Iehova.
Then the king ordered the guards at his side, “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because they too sided with David. For they knew he was fleeing, but they did not tell me.” But the king’s servants would not lift a hand to strike the priests of the LORD.
18 I aku la ke alii ia Doega, E huli ae oe, a lele maluna o ua kahuna. A huli ae la o Doega, ka Edoma, a lele maluna o na kahuna, a pepehi iho la ia la i na kanaka he kanawalukumamalima i pulikiia i ka epoda olona.
So the king ordered Doeg, “You turn and strike down the priests!” And Doeg the Edomite turned and struck down the priests himself. On that day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.
19 A luku aku la oia ia Noba ke kulanakauhale o na kahuna me ka maka o ka pahikaua; o na kanaka, o na wahine, o na kamalii, o na mea omo waiu, o na bipi, o na hoki, a me na hipa, me ka maka o ka pahikaua.
He also put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests, with its men and women, children and infants, oxen, donkeys, and sheep.
20 A o kekahi o na keiki a Ahimeleka, ke keiki a Ahituba, o Abiatara kona inoa, pakele aku la ia, a holo aku mahope o Davida.
But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped. His name was Abiathar, and he fled to David.
21 A hoike aku la o Abiatara ia Davida i ka Saula pepehi ana i na kahuna o Iehova.
And Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD.
22 I mai la o Davida i Abiatara, Ia la, i ka noho ana o Doega ka Edoma malaila, ike no wau, e hai aku ia ia Saula: owau no ka mea i make ai o na mea a pau o ka hale o kou makuakane.
Then David said to Abiathar, “I knew that Doeg the Edomite was there that day, and that he was sure to tell Saul. I myself am responsible for the lives of everyone in your father’s house.
23 E noho pu oe me au, mai makau: no ka mea, o ka mea nana e imi mai i kuu ola, oia ke imi mai i kou ola: aka, me a'u e maluhia oe.
Stay with me; do not be afraid, for he who seeks your life is seeking mine as well. You will be safe with me.”
