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.

And David departed thence, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And his brethren and all his father's house heard [it], and they went down thither to him.

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 every one in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one of embittered spirit collected round him; and he became a captain over them; and there were with him about four hundred men.

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.

And David went thence to Mizpeh in Moab, and said to the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth amongst you, till I know 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.

And he brought them before the king of Moab; and they abode with him all the while that 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.

And the prophet Gad said to David, Abide not in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.

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; )

And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk upon the height, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing by 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 that stood by him, Hear now, ye Benjaminites: will the son of Jesse give every one of you also fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of 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?

that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that informs me when my son has made [a covenant] with the son of Jesse; and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or informs me that my son has stirred up my servant as a lier-in-wait against me, as at this day?

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.

Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

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.

And he inquired of Jehovah for him, and gave him victuals, and 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 to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob; and they came all of them 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.

And Saul said, Hear now, son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.

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 said to him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me as a lier-in-wait, as at this day?

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?

And Ahimelech answered the king and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and has access to thy secret council, and is honourable in thy 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 it to-day that I began to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king charge anything to his servant, [nor] to all the house of my father; for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.

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.

And the king said, Thou shalt certainly die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy 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.

And the king said to the couriers that stood about him, Turn and put the priests of Jehovah to death; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not inform me. But the servants of the king were not willing to put forth their hand to fall on the priests of Jehovah.

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.

And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall on the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and fell on the priests, and put to death that day eighty-five persons 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.

And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the edge of the sword, both men and women, infants and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.

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.

And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.

21 A hoike aku la o Abiatara ia Davida i ka Saula pepehi ana i na kahuna o Iehova.

And Abiathar informed David that Saul had slain Jehovah's priests.

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.

And David said to Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would certainly tell Saul: I am accountable for all the lives of thy 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.

Abide with me, fear not; for he that seeks my life seeks thy life; for with me thou art in safe keeping.
