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.

David therefore departed thence, and escaped, into the cave of Adullam, —and, when his brethren and all the household of his father heard it, they went down unto him, thither.

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 there gathered themselves unto him—every one that was in distress, and every one that had a creditor, and every one embittered in soul, and he came to be over them as a prince, —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 departed thence, to Mizpah of Moab, —and said unto the king of Moab, I pray thee, let my father and my mother dwell with you, until that 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.

So he set them before the king of Moab, —and they dwelt with him, all the days that David was in the fortress.

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 said Gad the prophet unto David—Thou must not abide in the fortress, go and get thee into the land of Judah. So David departed, and entered 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; )

And, when Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him—Saul, being seated in Gibeah under the tamarisk-tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants stationed 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 said Saul unto his servants who were stationed by him—Hear, I pray you, ye Benjamites! What! even to all of you, will the son of Jesse give fields and vineyards? All of you, will he appoint to be princes of thousands, and princes 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 ye have conspired, all of you, against me, and there is none to uncover mine ear as to the covenanting of my son with the son of Jesse? And none from among you that taketh pity upon me, and that uncovereth mine ear [to this], —that, mine own son, hath stirred up, my servants, against me, to lie in wait, 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—he, being stationed near the servants of Saul—and said, —I saw the son of Jesse coming into Nob, unto Ahimelech 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.

Then enquired he for him of Yahweh, Provisions also, gave he unto him, —and, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, gave he unto him.

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, son of Ahitub, the priest, and all the house of his father—the priests, who were in Nob, —and they came, all of them, unto 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, I pray thee, thou son of Ahitub! And he said—Behold me! 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 unto him, Wherefore have ye conspired against me, thou, and the son of Jesse, —in that thou gavest him bread and a sword, and didst enquire for him of God, that he might rise up against me, that he might lie 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?

Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, —But who, among all thy servants, like David, is, faithful, being son-in-law to the king, and, cometh near to have audience with thee, and is, honoured in thy household?

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.

Did I, that day, begin to enquire for him of God? Far from me! Let not the king impute to his servant such a thing, nor to any of the household of my father, for thy servant knoweth 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, die, Ahimelech, —thou and all the household of thy father.

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 unto the runners that were stationed by him—Turn ye round and put to death the priests of Yahweh, because, their hand also, is with David, and because they knew that he was, in flight, and unveiled not mine ear. But the servants of the king were not willing to thrust forth their hand, to fall upon the priests of Yahweh.

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.

Then said the king to Doeg, Turn, thou, and fall upon the priests. So Doeg the Edomite turned, and, himself, fell upon the priests, and put to death, that day, four score and five men bearing an ephod of linen;

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.

Nob also, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children 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.

But there escaped one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, whose, name, was Abiathar, —and he fled after David.

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

So Abiathar told David, —that Saul had slain the priests of Yahweh.

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 said David to Abiathar—I knew, that day, when Doeg the Edomite was, there, that he would, surely tell, Saul. I, am chargeable with all the lives of the house of thy father.

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! do not fear, for, whoso seeketh my life, seeketh thy life, —for, in safeguard, shall thou be, with me.
