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.
It came about later that the king of the people of Ammon died, and that Hanun his son became king in his place.
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.
David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent his servants to comfort Hanun concerning his father. His servants entered the land of the people 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?
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their master, “Do you really think that David is honoring your father because he has sent men to comfort you? Has not David sent his servants to you to look at the city, to spy it out, in order 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.
So Hanun took David's servants, shaved off half their beards, cut off their garments up 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 explained this to David, he sent to meet with them, for the men were deeply ashamed. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown back, 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.
When the people of Ammon saw that they had become a stench to David, the people of Ammon sent messengers and hired the Arameans of Beth Rehob and Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob with 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.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of soldiers.
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.
The Ammonites came out and formed a line of battle at the entrance to their city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, stood by themselves in the open fields.
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 Joab saw the battle lines facing him both in front and behind, he chose some of Israel's best fighters and arranged them against the Arameans.
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.
The rest of his people he put into the hand of Abishai his brother, and he set them out in position to fight against the army 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.
Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you, Abishai, must rescue me. But if the army of Ammon is too strong for you, then I will come and rescue you.
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 show ourselves to be strong for our people and for the cities of our God, for Yahweh will do what is good for his purpose.”
13 Neenee aku la o Ioaba me na kanaka me ia e kaua aku i ko Suria, a hee aku la lakou imua ona.
So Joab and the soldiers of his army advanced to the battle against the Arameans, who were forced to flee before the army of Israel.
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.
When the army of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they also fled from Abishai and went back into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon and went back to Jerusalem.
15 A ike ae la ko Suria ua pepehiia lakou imua o ka Iseraela, hoakoakoa ae lakou i kahi hookahi.
When the Arameans saw that they were being defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together again.
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.
Then Hadarezer sent for Aramean troops from beyond the Euphrates River. They came to Helam, and Shobak, the commander of Hadarezer's army, 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.
When David was told this, he gathered all Israel together, crossed the Jordan, and arrived at Helam. The Arameans arranged themselves in battle lines against David and fought 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.
The Arameans fled from Israel, and David killed seven hundred of their men in chariots and forty thousand horsemen. Shobak the commander of their army was wounded and 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.
When all the kings who were servants of Hadarezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their subjects. So the Arameans were afraid to help the people of Ammon anymore.
