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.
It happened, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, "Look, David is in the wilderness 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 chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild 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.
He came to the sheep pens by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were abiding in the innermost parts of the cave.
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.
The men of David said to him, "Look, the day of which the LORD said to you, 'Look, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.'" Then David arose, and cut off an edge of Saul's robe secretly.
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.
It happened afterward, that David's heart struck him, because he had cut off an edge of Saul's robe.
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.
He said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD's anointed, to put forth my hand against him, since he is the LORD's anointed."
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 David persuaded his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. Then Saul got up, and went down the road.
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.
Afterward David also got up and left the cave, and called out after Saul, saying, "My lord the king." When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the ground and did homage.
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?
David said to Saul, "Why do you listen to men's words, saying, 'Look, David seeks your harm?'
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, this day your eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave, but I refused to kill you, and my eye spared you; and I said, 'I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD's anointed.'
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.
Now look, the skirt of your robe in my hand. When I cut off the skirt, and did not kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, though you hunt 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 judge between me and you, and may the LORD avenge me of you; but my hand shall not be on 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.
As the proverb of the ancients says, 'Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness;' but my hand shall not be on 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?
Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? After a dead dog, or one flea?
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.
May the LORD therefore be judge and give sentence between me and you. May he see and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand."
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.
It came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
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.
He said to David, "You are more righteous than I; for you have done good to me, whereas I have done evil to you.
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 declared this day how you have dealt well with me, in that the LORD had delivered me up into your hand and you did not kill me.
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.
For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away unharmed? Therefore may the LORD reward you good for that which you have done this day.
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.
Now, look, I know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
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.
Swear now therefore to me by the LORD, that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's house."
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.
David swore to Saul. Saul went home; but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
