I Samuela 26
1 HELE mai ko Zipa ia Saula ma Gibea, i mai la, Aole anei o Davida i huna ia ia iho ma ka puu o Hakila imua o Iesimona?
And the Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, facing the waste?
2 A ku ae la o Saula, a hele aku la ma ka waonahele o Zipa, a me ia no akolu tausani kanaka o ka Iseraela i waeia e imi ia Davida ma ka waonahele o Zipa.
And Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
3 A hoomoana iho la o Saula ma i ka puu o Hakila imua o Iesimona ma ke ala. A noho iho la o Davida ma ka waonahele, a ike iho la ia, ua hele mai o Saula mahope ona ma ka waonahele.
And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which faces the waste, by the way side. And David abode in the wilderness; and when he saw that Saul had come after him into the wilderness,
4 A hoouna aku la o Davida i na kiu, a ike iho la, he oiaio, ua hele mai o Saula.
David sent out spies, and learned that Saul was certainly come.
5 Ku ae la o Davida, a hele aku la i kahi a Saula i hoomoana ai: a ike aku la o Davida i kahi a Saula i moe ai, a me Abenera, ke keiki a Nera, ka luna o kona kaua: a e moe ana o Saula mawaena o na halekaa, a ua hoonohoia na kanaka a puni ona.
And David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host; and Saul lay within the wagon-defence, and the people were encamped round about him.
6 Olelo aku la o Davida, i aku la ia Ahimeleka ka Heta, a ia Abisai ke keiki a Zeruia, ka hoahanau o Ioaba, ninau ae la, Owai la ka mea e hele pu me au io Saula la ma kahi i hoomoana'i? I mai la o Abisai, Owau ke hele pu me oe.
And David spake and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.
7 A hele aku la o Davida, a me Abisai i na kanaka i ka po, aia hoi, e hiamoe ana o Saula mawaena o na halekaa, a ua houia kana ihe i ka honua ma kona poo: a e moe ana o Abenera a me na kanaka a puni ona.
And David and Abishai came to the people by night, and behold, Saul lay sleeping within the wagon-defence, and his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay round about him.
8 I aku la o Abisai ia Davida, na hoolilo mai ke Akua i kou enemi iloko o kou lima i keia la: ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe ia'u, e hou iho au ia ia me ka ihe ma ka honua, hookahi hou ana, aole au e hou hou aku ia ia.
And Abishai said to David, God has delivered thine enemy into thy hand this day; and now let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear, even to the ground once, and I will not do it the second time.
9 I mai la o Davida ia Abisai, Mai pepehi ia ia: no ka mea, owai la ka mea e kau aku i kona lima maluna o ka mea a Iehova i poni ai, a hewa ole?
And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not; for who can stretch forth his hand against Jehovah's anointed, and be guiltless?
10 I mai la hoi o Davida, Ma ke ola o Iehova, e pepehi mai no o Iehova ia ia; e hiki mai auanei kona la e make ai; a e hele paha ia i ke kaua, a e make oia malaila.
And David said, [As] Jehovah liveth, Jehovah will surely smite him; either his day shall come to die, or he shall descend into battle and perish.
11 Na Iehova i hoole mai ia'u, aole au e kau aku i ko'u lima maluna o ka mea a Iehova i poni ai: aka, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e lawe aku oe i ka ihe ma kona poo, a me ke kiaha wai, a e hele aku kaua.
Jehovah forbid that I should stretch forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed! But now take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water, and let us go.
12 A lawe ae la o Davida i ka ihe a me ke kiaha wai ma ke poo o Saula, a hele aku laua; aohe kanaka i nana mai, aole i ike, aole i ala mai: ua pauhia lakou i ka hiamoe; no ka mea, ua hiki mai ka hiamoe nui mai Iehova mai maluna o lakou.
And David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's head; and they went away, and no man saw [it], and none knew [it], and none awaked, for they were all asleep; for a deep sleep from Jehovah had fallen upon them.
13 Alaila hele aku la o Davida ma kela aoao, a ku maluna o ka puu mao lilo, a ua loihi ka wahi iwaena o lakou.
And David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of a hill afar off; a great space [being] between them.
14 Kahea aku la o Davida i na kanaka, a ia Abenera, i ke keiki a Nera, i aku la, Aole anei oe eo mai, e Abenera? Alaila eo mai la o Abenera, i mai la, Owai oe e kahea mai nei i ke alii?
And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?
15 I aku la o Davida ia Abenera, Aole anei oe he kanaka koa? owai la kou mea like iloko o ka Iseraela? No ke aha la oe i malama ole ai i kou haku i ke alii? no ka mea, ua hele aku kekahi o na kanaka e pepehi i ke alii i kou haku?
And David said to Abner, Art not thou a man? and who is like to thee in Israel? and why hast thou not guarded thy lord the king? for one of the people came in to destroy the king thy lord.
16 Aole e pono keia mea au i hana'i. Ma ke ola o Iehova, e pono oukou ke make, i ko oukou malama ole i ko oukou haku, i ka mea a Iehova i poni ai. Ano hoi e nana oe i kahi i waiho ai ka ihe a ke alii a me ke kiaha wai ma kona poo.
This thing is not good which thou hast done. As Jehovah liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not guarded your master, Jehovah's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his head.
17 A ike iho la o Saula, o ka leo ia o Davida, i aku la, O kou leo anei keia, e kuu keiki, e Davida? I mai la o Davida, O ko'u leo no ia, e kuu haku, e ke alii.
And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.
18 I aku la ia, No ke aha la i hahai mai nei kuu haku i kana kauwa: heaha ia ka'u i hana'i? a heaha hoi ka hewa iloko o kuu lima?
And he said, Why does my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand?
19 Ano hoi ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoolohe mai kuu haku ke alii i ka olelo a kana kauwa. Ina paha i hoala mai o Iehova ia oe e ku e mai ia'u, e oluolu ia i ka mohai: aka, ina o na keiki a kanaka, e poino lakou imua o Iehova; no ka mea, ua hookuke mai lakou ia'u i keia la mai ka noho ana ma ka ainahooili no Iehova, i ka i ana mai, E hele e malama i na akua e.
And now, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If Jehovah have moved thee against me, let him accept an oblation; but if the sons of men, cursed be they before Jehovah; for they have driven me out this day from adhering to the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.
20 Ano hoi, mai hookaheia kuu koko ma ka honua imua i ke alo o Iehova: no ka mea, ua hele mai nei ke alii o ka Iseraela e imi i ukulele, e like me kekahi e imi ai i ka manu ma na mauna.
And now, let not my blood fall to the earth far from the face of Jehovah; for the king of Israel is come out to seek a single flea, as when they hunt a partridge on the mountains.
21 Alaila i aku la o Saula, Ua hewa au: o hoi oe, e kuu keiki, e Davida: aole au e hana ino hou aku ia oe; no ka mea, ua malama oe i kuu ola i keia la: aia hoi, ua hana naaupo wau, a na nui loa kuu lalau ana.
And Saul said, I have sinned: return, my son David; for I will no more do thee harm, because my life was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have acted foolishly, and have erred exceedingly.
22 Olelo mai la o Davida, i mai la, Eia ka ihe a ke alii! a e kii mai kekahi o ka poe ui e lawe aku.
And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear, and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.
23 Na Iehova e uku mai i kela kanaka i keia kanaka i kona pono, a me kona oiaio: no ka mea, ua hoolilo mai o Iehova ia oe iloko o kuu lima i keia la; aka, aole au i kau aku i kuu lima maluna o ka mea a Iehova i poni ai.
And Jehovah will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; for Jehovah gave thee into [my] hand this day, and I would not stretch forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed.
24 Aia hoi, no ka malama pono ia o kou ola i kuu maka i keia la, pela hoi e malama pono ia'i ko'u ola i ka maka o Iehova, a e hoopakele mai ia ia'u i na popilikia a pau.
And behold, as thy life was highly esteemed this day in mine eyes, so let my life be highly esteemed in the eyes of Jehovah, that he may deliver me out of all distress.
25 Alaila i aku la o Saula ia Davida, Pomaikai oe, e kuu keiki, e Davida: e hana nui auanei oe, a e lanakila hoi oe. A hele aku la o Davida i kona wahi e hele ai, a hoi aku la o Saula i kona wahi.
And Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt certainly do [great things], and shalt certainly prevail. And David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
