I Samuela 24
1 A I ka hoi ana mai o Saula i ka hahai ana i ko Pilisetia, ua haiia mai ia ia, i mai la, Aia hoi o Davida ma ka waonahele o Enegedi.
Now when Saul came back from fighting the Philistines, news was given him that David was in the waste land of En-gedi.
2 Alaila lawe ae la o Saula i ekolu tausani kanaka i waeia noloko mai o ka Iseraela a pau, a hele aku la e imi ia Davida a me kona poe kanaka maluna o na pohaku o na kao hihiu.
Then Saul took three thousand of the best men out of all Israel, and went in search of David and his men on the rocks of the mountain goats.
3 A hiki aka ia i na pa hipa ma ke ala, a malaila he ana; a komo aku la o Saula e uhi i kona wawae: a o Davida a me kona poe kanaka aia ma na aoao o ke ana.
And on the way he came to a place where sheep were kept, where there was a hollow in the rock; and Saul went in for a private purpose. Now David and his men were in the deepest part of the hollow.
4 I aku la na kanaka o Davida ia ia, Aia hoi, ua hiki mai ka la a Iehova i i mai ai, Aia hoi, e hoolilo ana au i kou enemi iloko o kou lima, i hana aku ai oe ia ia e like me kou makemake. Alaila ku ae la o Davida, a oki malu iho i ka lepa o ka lole aahu o Saula.
And David's men said to him, Now is the time when the Lord says to you, I will give up your hater into your hands to do with him whatever seems good to you. Then David, getting up, took the skirt of Saul's robe in his hand, cutting off the end of it without his knowledge.
5 A mahope iho, kui iho la ka naau o Davida ia ia iho, i kona oki ana i ka lepa o ka lole aahu o Saula.
And later, David was full of regret for cutting off Saul's skirt.
6 I aku la ia i kona poe kanaka, Ua hoole mai o Iehova ke hana aku au i keia mea i kuu haku, i ka mea a Iehova i poni ai, a e kau aku i kuu lima maluna ona, no ka mea, oia ka mea i poniia e Iehova.
And David said to his men, Before the Lord, never let it be said that my hand was lifted up against my lord, the man of the Lord's selection, for the Lord's holy oil has been put on him.
7 Hooikaika aku la o Davida i kona poe kanaka ma keia olelo, aole ia i ae aku ia lakou e ku e ia Saula. Ku ae la o Saula mawaho o ke ana, a hele aku la ma ke ala.
So with these words David kept his servants back, and did not let them make an attack on Saul. And Saul got up and went on his way.
8 Mahope iho, ku ae la o Davida a hele iwaho o ke ana, a kahea aku la mahope o Saula, i aku la, E kuu haku, e ke alii. A nana ae la o Saula mahope ona, kulou iho la o Davida me kona maka ma ka honua, a haule iho ilalo.
And after that David came out of the hollow rock, and crying after Saul said, My lord the king. And when Saul gave a look back, David went down on his face and gave him honour.
9 I aku la o Davida ia Saula, No ke aha la oe i hoolohe ai i ka olelo a kanaka, i ka i ana mai, Aia hoi, ke imi nei o Davida e hana eha ia oe?
And David said to Saul, Why do you give any attention to those who say that it is my desire to do you wrong?
10 Aia hoi, i keia la ua ike kou maka i ka hoolilo ana o Iehova ia oe iloko o kuu lima ma ke ana: a i mai la kekahi e pepehi ia oe; aka, ua aloha au ia oe; i aku la, Aole au e kau aku i kuu lima maluna o kuu haku; no ka mea, oia ka Iehova i poni ai.
Look! you have seen today how the Lord gave you up into my hands even now in the hollow of the rocks: and some would have had me put you to death, but I had pity on you: for I said, Never will my hand be lifted up against my lord, who has been marked with the holy oil.
11 E nana oe, e kuu makuakane, e nana hoi i ka lepa o kou aahu ma kuu lima: no ka mea, i kuu oki ana i ka lepa o kou aahu, aole hoi i pepehi ia oe, e nana hoi, e ike oe, aole he hewa, aole hoi he lawehala iloko o kuu lima, aole no au i hana hewa aku ia oe: aka, ke imi mai nei oe i kuu ola e lawe aka ia.
And see, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand: for the fact that I took off the skirt of your robe and did not put you to death is witness that I have no evil purpose, and I have done you no wrong, though you are waiting for my life to take it.
12 Na Iehova e hooponopono iwaena o kaua, a na Iehova e hoopai ia oe no'u; aka, aole e kauia'ku kuu lima maluna ou.
May the Lord be judge between me and you, and may the Lord give me my rights against you, but my hand will never be lifted up against you.
13 E like me ka olelo a ka poe kahiko, No ka poe hewa mai ka hewa; aka, aole e kauia'ku kuu lima maluna ou.
There is an old saying, From the evil-doer comes evil: but my hand will never be lifted up against you.
14 Mamuli owai i puka mai nei ke alii o ka Iseraela? e alualu ana oe ia wai? mamuli o ka ilio make anei? mamuli o ka ukulele anei?
After whom has the king of Israel come out? for whom are you searching? for a dead dog, an insect.
15 O Iehova ka lunakanawai, a nana e hooponopono iwaena o kaua, a nana hoi e hooponopono mai i kuu mea, a e hoopakele mai ia'u mai kou lima ae.
So let the Lord be judge, and give a decision between me and you, and see and give support to my cause, and keep me from falling into your hands.
16 A pau ae la ka Davida olelo ana'ku i keia mau olelo ia Saula; i mai la o Saula, O kou leo anei keia, e Davida kuu keiki? a hookiekie ae la o Saula i kona leo iluna, a uwe iho la.
Now when David had said these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this your voice, David, my son? And Saul was overcome with weeping.
17 I aku la oia ia Davida, Ua oi aka kou pono mamua o ko'u: no ka mea, ua hana pono mai oe ia'u a ua hana ino aku au ia oe.
And he said to David, You are right and I am wrong: for you have given me back good, but I have given you evil.
18 A ua hoike mai oe i keia la i kau hana pono mai ia'u: no ka mea, i ko Iehova hoolilo ana ia'u iloko o kou lima, aole oe i pepehi mai ia'u.
And you have made clear to me how good you have been to me today: because, when the Lord gave me up into your hands, you did not put me to death.
19 Ina i loaa i ke kanaka kona enemi, e kuu ola aku anei kela ia ia? no ia mea, e uku mai o Iehova ia oe i ka pono no ka mea au i hana mai ai ia'u i keia la.
If a man comes across his hater, will he let him get away safe? so may you be rewarded by the Lord for what you have done for me today.
20 Ano hoi, ua ike maopopo no au, e lilo auanei oe i alii, a e hookupaaia ke aupuni o ka Iseraela iloko o kou lima.
And now I am certain that you will be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be made strong under your authority.
21 Ano hoi, e hoohiki mai oe ia'u ma Iehova, i ole oe e hooki iho i ka'u hua mahope o'u, i ole hoi oe e hooki i kuu inoa mai ka hale aku o ko'u makuakane.
So give me your oath by the Lord, that you will not put an end to my seed after me or let my name be cut off from my father's family.
22 A hoohiki aku la o Davida ia Saula, a hoi aku la o Saula i kona wahi; aka, pii aku la o Davida me kona poe kanaka ma kahi paa.
And David gave Saul his oath. And Saul went back to his house; but David and his men went up to their safe place.
