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?
The Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding in the hill of Hakilah, which is before Jeshimon?”
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.
Then 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.
Saul camped on the hill of Hakilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the road. But David was staying in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul was coming 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.
So David sent out spies and learned that Saul had indeed 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.
David arose and went to the place where Saul had camped; he saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner son of Ner, the general of his army; Saul lay in the camp, and the people were camped around him, all asleep.
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.
Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai son of Zeruiah, the brother of Joab, “Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?” Abishai said, “I! I will go down with you.”
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.
So David and Abishai went to the army by night. Saul was there sleeping inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground beside his head. Abner and his soldiers lay around 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.
Then Abishai said to David, “Today God has put your enemy into your hand. Now please let me pin him to the ground with the spear with just one blow. I will not strike him a 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?
David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him; for who can extend his hand against Yahweh's anointed one 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.
David said, “As Yahweh lives, Yahweh will kill him, or his day will come to die, or he will go 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.
May Yahweh forbid that I should extend my hand against his anointed one; but now, I beg you, take the spear that is at his head and the jar 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.
So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul's head, and they got away. No one saw them or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up, for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Yahweh had fallen on 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.
Then David went over to the other side and stood on the top of the mountain far off; a great distance was 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?
David shouted out to the people and to Abner son of Ner; he said, “Do you not answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered and said, “Who are you who is shouting 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?
David said to Abner, “Are not you a courageous man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your master the king? For someone came in to kill the king your master.
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 you have done is not good. As Yahweh lives, you deserve to die because you have not kept watch over your master, Yahweh's anointed one. Now see where the king's spear is and the jar of water that was near 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.
Saul recognized David's voice and said, “Is that your voice, my son David?” David said, “It is my voice, my master, 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?
He said, “Why does my master pursue his servant? What have I done? 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.
Now therefore, I beg you, let my master the king listen to the words of his servant. If it is Yahweh who has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering; but if it is human beings, may they be cursed in the sight of Yahweh, for they have today driven me out, that I should not cling to the inheritance of Yahweh; they have said to me, 'Go worship 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.
Now therefore, do not let my blood fall to the earth away from Yahweh's presence; for the king of Israel has come out to look for the one flea as when one hunts a partridge in 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.
Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, David, my son; for I will harm you no more, because my life was precious in your eyes today. See, I have played the fool and have made a very bad mistake.”
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.
David answered and said, “See, your spear is here, king! Let one of the young men come over and get it and bring it to you.
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.
May Yahweh pay each man for his righteousness and his faithfulness; because Yahweh put you into my hand today, but I would not strike his 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.
See, as your life was precious in my eyes today, so may my life be much valued in the eyes of Yahweh, and may he rescue me out of all trouble.”
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.
Then Saul said to David, “May you be blessed, David my son! You will certainly do great things and you will succeed in them.” So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
