< 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;
And it came to pass when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the 'Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, 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 captive the women that were therein, both great and small: they had not slain any one, but had led them off, and gone 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.
When therefore David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, had been taken captive.
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.
And David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
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.
And the two wives of David were also taken captive, Achino'am the Yizre'elitess, and Abigayil the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
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 distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was imbittered, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David fortified himself 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 David said to Ebyathar the priest, the son of Achimelech, Bring hither, I pray thee, unto me the ephod. And Ebyathar brought the ephod near unto 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 asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop! shall I overtake them? And he said to him, Pursue; for thou wilt surely overtake them, and certainly recover [all].
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 came up to the brook Bessor, where those that were left behind stayed.
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 on, he and four hundred men; and there stayed behind two hundred men, who were too fatigued to go over the brook Bessor.
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 man in the field, and took him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
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.
And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins, and he ate, and then his spirit returned to him; for he had not eaten any bread, nor drunk any 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 unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young Egyptian man, the servant to an 'Amalekite; and my master left me behind, because I fell sick, today 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.
We made an invasion upon the south of the Kerethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and Ziklag did we burn 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, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, and that thou wilt not surrender me into the hand of my master, and then will I bring thee down to this troop.
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 he brought him down; and behold, they were scattered over the face of all the country, eating and drinking, and dancing for joy, because of all the great spoil which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
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 smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode 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.
And David recovered all that the 'Amalekites had taken away; and his two wives also did David rescue.
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 to them, from small to great, as also sons and daughters, and spoil, down to every thing that they had taken from them: the whole did David bring back.
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 David took all the flocks and the herds: these they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
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 had been too fatigued to follow after David, and whom they had left to remain at the brook Bessor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and David came near to the people, and asked them after their well-being.
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 exclaimed every wicked and worthless man, of those that had gone with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, and these they may lead away, and go.
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.
Then said David, Ye must not do so, my brethren; since the Lord hath given us this, and guarded us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
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 who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as is the part of him that went down to the battle, so shall be the part of him that remained with the baggage: together must they share.
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 it happened from that day and forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel until this day.
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;
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, Behold, here is a present for you from the spoil 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 those who were in Beth-el, and to those who were in south Ramoth, and to those who were in Yattir,
28 A na ka poe ma Aroera, a na ka poe ma Sipemota, a na ka poe ma Esetemoa.
And to those who were in 'Aro'er, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa',
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 to those who were in Rachal, and to those who were in the cities of Yerach-meelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
30 A na ka poe ma Horema, a na ka poe ma Koresana, a na ka poe ma Ataka,
And to those who were in Chormah, and to those who were in Kor-'ashan, and to those who 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 to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men had wandered about.
