II Samuela 10
1 MAHOPE mai o ia mau mea, make iho la ke alii o ka poe mamo a Amona, a nohoalii iho la o Hanuna kana keiki ma kona wahi.
And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of 'Ammon died, and Chanun his son reigned in his stead.
2 Olelo iho la o Davida, E lokomaikai aku au ia Hanuna ke keiki a Nahasa, e like me kona makuakane i lokomaikai mai ai ia'u. Hoouna aku la o Davida e hooluolu aku ia ia no kona makuakane ma ka lima o na kanaka ona. A hiki aku la na kanaka o Davida ma ka aina o na maino a Amona.
Then said David, I will show kindness unto Chanun the son of Nachash, as his father showed me kindness. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came unto the land of the children of 'Ammon.
3 A o na alii o na mamo a Amona, i aku la lakou ia Hanuna i ko lakou haku, Ke manao nei anei oe e hoomaikai nei o Davida i kou makuakane i kona hoouna ana mai iou la i na mea hooluolu mai? Aole anei o Davida i hoouna mai i kona mau kanaka e makaikai i ke kulanakauhale, a e hoomakakiu mai, a e hookahuli ia wahi?
And the princes of the children of 'Ammon said unto Chanun their Lord, Doth David honor thy father in thy eyes, that he hath sent comforters unto thee! hath David not sent his servants unto thee, in order to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
4 Nolaila, lalau aku la o Hanuna i na kanaka o Davida, a kahi ae la i kekahi aoao o ko lakou umiumi, a okioki iho la i ko lakou kapa mawaena ma ko lakou kikala, a hookuu mai la ia lakou.
Chanun thereupon took David's servants, and shaved off the one-half of their beard, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 A hai aku la lakou ia mea ia Davida, alaila hoouna aku la ia e halawai me lakou, no ka mea, ua hilahila loa ua mau kanaka la: i aku la ke alii, E noho oukou i Ieriko, a ulu ae ko oukou umiumi, alaila e hoi mai.
When they told it unto David, he sent [persons] to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed; and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beard be grown, and then return.
6 A ike iho la na mamo a Amona, ua pilau lakou imua o Davida, kii aku la na mamo a Amona, a hoolimalima aku la i ko Suria no Beterehoba, a me ko Suria no Zoba, he iwakalua tausani na koa kaniwawae, me ka tausani hookahi o na kanaka no Maaka ke alii, a me na kanaka no Isetoba he umikumamalua tausani.
And when the children of 'Ammon saw that they were become in bad odor with David, the children of 'Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rechob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand men on foot, and the king of Ma'achah with a thousand men, and of the people of Tob twelve thousand men.
7 A lohe ae la o Davida, hoouna aku la oia ia Ioaba, a me ka puali a pau o ka poe ikaika.
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army, [and] the mighty men.
8 Hele mai la ka poe mamo a Amona iwaho, a hoonohonoho iho la i ke kaua ma kahi e komo ai iloko o ka puka; a ku kaawale mai la ka poe Suria no Zoba, a no Rehoba, no Isetoba, a no Maaka, ma ke kula.
And the children of 'Ammon came out, and put themselves in battle-array at the entrance of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rechob, and the people of Tob and Ma'achah, were by themselves in the field.
9 A ike aku la o Ioaba i ke alo o na kana, mamua kekahi, a mahope kekahi, alaila wae iho la ia i ka poe ui a pau o ka Iseraela, a hoonohonoho aku la ia lakou e ku e i ka poe Suria.
When now Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he selected from all the chosen men of Israel, and arrayed himself against the Syrians:
10 A haawi aku la ia i ka poe i koe ma ka lima o Abisai kona kaikaina, i hoonohonoho aku ai oia ia lakou e ku e i ka poe mamo a Amona.
And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, who arrayed himself against the children of 'Ammon.
11 Olelo aku la ia, Ina paha e oi aku ka ikaika o ko Suria i ko'u, alaila e kokua mai oe ia'u, aka, ina paha e oi aku ka ikaika o ka poe mamo a Amona i kou, alaila au e hele aku ai e kokua ia oe.
And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then shalt thou bring me help; but if the children of 'Ammon be too strong for thee, then will I go to help thee.
12 I nui ka ikaika, a e koa hoi kakou no ko kakou lahuikanaka, a me na kulanakauhale o ko kakou Akua: e hana mai hoi o Iehova e like me ka mea e pono imua o kona mau maka.
Be strong, and let us strengthen ourselves in behalf of our people, and in behalf of the cities of our God: and may the Lord do that which seemeth good in his eyes.
13 Neenee aku la o Ioaba me na kanaka me ia e kaua aku i ko Suria, a hee aku la lakou imua ona.
And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians; and they fled from before him.
14 A ike ae la ka poe mamo a Amona, ua hee aku la ko Suria, alaila hee aku la hoi lakou imua o Abisai, a komo aku la iloko o ke kulanakauhale. A hoi hou mai la o Ioaba mai ka poe mamo a Amona mai, a hele mai la i Ierusalema.
And when the children of 'Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then did they also fly before Abishai, and entered into the city. Joab then returned from the children of 'Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 A ike ae la ko Suria ua pepehiia lakou imua o ka Iseraela, hoakoakoa ae lakou i kahi hookahi.
And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves altogether.
16 Kii aku la o Hadarezera, a kai mai la i ko Suria ma kela aoao o I ka muliwai; a hele mai la lakou i Helama: imua hoi o lakou o Sobaka ka lunakaua o Hadarezera.
And Hadar'ezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river, and they came to Chelam; and Shobach the captain of the army of Hadar'ezer went before them.
17 A haiia mai ia ia Davida, hoakoakoa ae ia i ka Iseraela a pau, a hele aku la ma kela aoao o Ioredane, a hiki aku la i Helama: a hoonohonoho aku la ko Suria ia lakou iho e ku e ia Davida, a kaua aku la lakou ia ia.
And when it was told to David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Chelam. And the Syrians set themselves in battle-array against David, and fought with him.
18 Hee aku la ko Suria imua o ka Iseraela, pepehi iho la o Davida i ko na halekaa ehiku haneri o ko Suria, me na tausani koa hoohololio he kanaha; a pepehi aku la hoi oia ia Sobaka ka lunakaua o lakou, a make iho la ia ilaila.
And the Syrians fled from before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians [the men] of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen; and Shobach also the captain of their army he smote, and he died there.
19 A ike ae la ka poe alii a pau o na kauwa a Hadarezera, ua pepehiia lakou imua o ka Iseraela, hookuikahi mai la lakou me ka Iseraela, a hookauwa mai la na lakou. Pela i makau ai ko Suria i ke kokua hou aku i ka poe mamo a Amona.
And when all the kings, the vassals to Hadar'ezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them: and the Syrians feared to help the children of 'Ammon any more.
