I Samuela 30
1 A I ka hiki ana'ku o Davida me kona poe kanaka ma Zikelaga i ka po akolu, ua hele mai na Amaleka ma ka aoao hema a ma Zikelaga, a ua luku aku ia Zikelaga, a puhi aku la ia i ke ahi;
Now when David and his men were come to Siceleg on the third day, the Amalecites had made an invasion on the south side upon Siceleg, and had smitten Siceleg, and burnt it with fire.
2 A ua lawe pio aku i na wahine o ia wahi; aole lakou i pepehi i kekahi o ka mea nui, aole hoi i ka mea uuku: aka, alakai aku la ia lakou, a hele aku la ma ko lakou ala.
And had taken the women captives that were in it, both little and great: and they had not killed any person, but had carried them with them, and went on their way.
3 A hiki aku la o Davida me kona poe kanaka ma ke kulanakauhale, aia hoi, ua puhiia i ke ahi; a ua lawe pio ia aku ka lakou mau wahine, a me ka lakou mau keikikane, a me ka lakou mau kaikamahine.
So when David and his men came to the city, and found it burnt with fire, and that their wives and their sons, and their daughters were taken captives,
4 Alaila hookiekie ae la o Davida me na kanaka me ia i ko lakou leo iluna, a auwe iho la, a pau ko lakou aho i ka auwe ana.
David and the people that were with him, lifted up their voices, and wept till they had no more tears.
5 A ua lawe pio ia aku la na wahine elua a Davida, o Ahinoama no Iezereela, a me Abigaila ka wahine a Nabala no Karemela.
For the two wives also of David were taken captives, Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
6 Pilikia loa iho la o Davida: a ua olelo na kanaka e pehi ia ia i ka pohaku, no ka mea, ua kaumaha ka naau o na kanaka a pau, o kela kanaka keia kanaka no kana mau keikikane, a me kana mau kaikamahine: aka, hooikaika iho la o Davida ia ia iho ma Iehova kona Akua.
And David was greatly afflicted: for the people had a mind to stone him, for the soul of every man was bitterly grieved for his sons, and daughters: but David took courage in the Lord his God.
7 Olelo aku la o Davida ia Abiatara ke kahuna, ke keiki a Ahimeleka, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe e lawe mai i ka epoda ia'u. A lawe mai la o Abiatara i ka epoda ia Davida.
And he said to Abiathar the priest the son of Achimelech: Bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
8 Ninau aku la o Davida ia Iehova, i aku la, E hahai anei au mahope o keia poe? E loaa anei lakou ia'u? A i mai la oia ia ia, E hahai aku oe, no ka mea, e loaa no ia oe, a e lawe hou mai i na mea a pau.
And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I pursue after these robbers, and shall I overtake them, or not? And the Lord said to him: Pursue after them: for thou shalt surely overtake them and recover the prey.
9 A hele aku la o Davida, oia me na kanaka pu me ia eono haneri, a hiki lakou ma ke kahawai o Besora, kahi i kali ai ka poe i waihoia mahope.
So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and they came to the torrent Besor: and some being weary stayed there.
10 Aka, hahai aku la o Davida, oia me na haneri kanaka eha: no ka mea, hoonohoia aku la mahope elua haneri kanaka, aole e hiki aku lakou ma kela kapa o ke kahawai o Besora, no ko lakou nawaliwali.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed, who being weary could not go over the torrent Besor.
11 A loaa ia lakou he kanaka no Aigupita ma ke kula, a lawe mai lakou ia ia io Davida la, a haawi aku la ia ia i ka berena, a ai iho la ia, a hooinu lakou ia ia i ka wai.
And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David: and they gave him bread to eat, and water to drink,
12 A haawi aku lakou ia ia i kekahi apana o ke pai fiku, a i elua huiwaina maloo: a pau kana ai ana, hiki hou mai la ka ikaika ia ia; no ka mea, aole ia i ai i ka berena, aole hoi i inu i ka wai i na la a me na po ekolu.
As also a piece of a cake of figs, and two bunches of raisins. And when he had eaten them his spirit returned, and he was refreshed: for he had not eaten bread, nor drunk water three days, and three nights.
13 Ninau aku la o Davida ia ia, Nowai la oe? a nohea hoi oe? I mai la ia, He kanaka ui au no Aigupita, he kauwa na kekahi Amaleka; a ua haalele kuu haku ia'u, no ka mea, i ka poakolu ae nei i loohia ai au e ka mai.
And David said to him: To whom dost thou belong? or whence dost thou come? and whither art thou going? He said: I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalecite, and my master left me, because I began to be sick three days ago.
14 Hele kaua aku la makou ma ka aoao hema o ko Kereti, a ma kekahi aoao no ka Iuda, a ma ka aoao hema o Kaleba, a puhi aku la makou ia Zikelaga i ke ahi.
For we made an invasion on the south side of Cerethi, and upon Juda, and upon the south of Caleb, and we burnt Siceleg with fire.
15 Ninau aku la o Davida ia ia, E hiki anei ia oe ke alakai aku ia'u i ua poe la? I mai la ia, E hoohiki mai oe ia'u ma ke Akua, i ole oe e pepehi mai ia'u, i ole hoi e haawi ia'u iloko o na lima o kuu haku, a e alakai aku au ia oe i ua poe la.
And David said to him: Canst thou bring me to this company? And he said: Swear to me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee to this company. And David swore to him.
16 A alakai aku la ia ia lakou, aia hoi, ua hoomoana lakou ma ka aina a pau, e ahaaina ana, a e inu ana, a e haa ana, no ka nui o ka waiwai pio a lakou i lawe ae noloko mai o ka aina o ko Pilisetia, a me ka aina o ka Iuda.
And when he had brought him, behold they were lying spread upon all the ground, eating and drinking, and as it were keeping a festival day, for all the prey, and the spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.
17 A luku aku la o Davida ia lakou mai ka wanaao a hiki i ke ahiahi a ia la aku; aole i pakele kekahi kanaka o lakou, eha haneri kanaka ui hooholo kamelo wale no i pakele.
And David slew them from the evening unto the evening of the next day, and there escaped not a man of them, but four hundred young men, who had gotten upon camels, and fled.
18 A loaa hou ia Davida na mea a pau a ka Ameleka i lawe aku ai, a hoopakele o Davida i kana mau wahine.
So David recovered all that the Amalecites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.
19 Aole i nalowale kekahi mea ia lakou, aole ka mea uuku, aole ka mea nui, aole na keikikane, aole na kaikamahine, aole na waiwai pio, aole kekahi mea a lakou i lawe aku ai no lakou, loaa iho la ia Davida na mea a pau.
And there was nothing missing small or great, neither of their sons or their daughters, nor of the spoils, and whatsoever they had taken: David recovered all.
20 A lawe aku la o Davida i ka poe hipa a pau, a me na bipi a lakou i a ai imua o kela poe holoholona, a i ae la lakou, O ka Davida waiwai pio keia.
And he took all the flocks and the herds, and made them go before him: and they said: This is the prey of David.
21 A hoi mai o Davida i na haneri kanaka elua, i ka poe i hiki ole ke hahai mamuli o Davida no ko lakou nawaliwali, i na mea a lakou i hoonoho ai ma ke kahawai o Besora: a hele mai lakou e halawai me Davida, a e halawai hoi me na kanaka me ia: a hiki mai o Davida a kokoke i na kanaka, aloha mai la oia ia lakou.
And David came to the two hundred men, who being weary had stayed, and were not able to follow David, and he had ordered them to abide at the torrent Besor: and they came out to meet David, and the people that were with him. And David coming to the people saluted them peaceably.
22 Alaila olelo mai na kanaka hewa a pau, a me ka poe Beliala, o na kanaka i hele pu me Davida, i mai la, No ko lakou hele pu ole me kakou, aole kakou e haawi aku ia lakou i kekahi o ka waiwai pio a kakou i loaa hou mai, aka, e lawe kela kanaka keia kanaka i kana wahine, a me kana mau keiki, a alakai aku, a hele.
Then all the wicked and unjust men that had gone with David answering, said: Because they came not with us, we will not give them any thing of the prey which we have recovered: but let every man take his wife and his children, and be contented with them, and go his way.
23 Olelo aku la o Davida, E na hoahanau o'u, mai hana oukou pela i na mea a Iehova i haawi mai ai ia kakou, nana kakou i malama mai, a hoolilo mai hoi i ka poe i hele ku e mai ia kakou iloko o ko kakou lima.
But David said: You shall not do so, my brethren, with these things, which the Lord hath given us, who hath kept us, and hath delivered the robbers that invaded us into our hands.
24 Owai ka mea e hoolohe mai ia oukou i keia mea? no ka mea, e like me ka ka mea i hele i ke kaua, pela no ka ka mea i noho me na ukana, e like pu ka lakou.
And no man shall hearken to you in this matter. But equal shall be the portion of him that went down to battle and of him that abode at the baggage, and they shall divide alike.
25 A mai ia la mai, hana iho la oia ia mea i kanawai, a i olelo kupaa no ka Iseraela a hiki i keia la.
And this hath been done from that day forward, and since was made a statute, and an ordinance, and as a law in Israel.
26 A hiki aku la o Davida ma Zikelaga, hoouna aku la ia i kekahi o ka waiwai pio na na lunakahiko o ka Iuda, na kona poe makamaka, i aku la, Eia mai ka makana na oukou, no ka waiwai pio a ka poe enemi o Iehova;
Then David came to Siceleg, and sent presents of the prey to the ancients of Juda his neighbours, saying: Receive a blessing of the prey of the enemies of the Lord.
27 Na ka poe ma Betela, a na ka poe ma Ramota kukulu hema, a na ka poe ma Iatira,
To them that were in Bethel, and that were in Ramoth to the south, and to them that were in Jether,
28 A na ka poe ma Aroera, a na ka poe ma Sipemota, a na ka poe ma Esetemoa.
And to them that were in Aroer and that were in Sephamoth, and that were in Esthamo,
29 A na ka noe ma Rakala, a na ka poe ma na kulanakauhale o ka Ierahemeeli, a na ka poe ma na kulanakauhale o na Keni,
And that were in Rachal, and that were in the cities of Jerameel, and that were in the cities of Ceni,
30 A na ka poe ma Horema, a na ka poe ma Koresana, a na ka poe ma Ataka,
And that were in Arama, and that were in the lake Asan, and that were in Athach,
31 A na ka poe ma Heberona, a ma na wahi a pau a Davida a me kona poe kanaka i holoholo ai.
And that were in Hebron, and to the rest that were in those places, in which David had abode with his men.
