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.
After this, the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned 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 the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into 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?
But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn’t David sent his servants to you to search the city, 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.
So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off one half of their beards, 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 David this, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have 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.
When the children of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men 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.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of 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.
The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate. The Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah 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.
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel and put them in array 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.
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array 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.
He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help 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 courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God; and may Yahweh do what seems good to him.”
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 people who were with him came near to the battle against the Syrians, and they fled 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.
When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab 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.
When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.
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.
Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River; and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
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.
David was told that; and he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Syrians set themselves in 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.
The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers of the Syrians and forty thousand horsemen, and struck Shobach the captain of their army, so that 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.
When all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
