II Samuela 12
1 HOOUNA mai la o Iehova ia Natana io Davida la: hele mai la ia io na la, i mai la ia ia, Elua mau kanaka ma kekahi kulanakauhale; ua waiwai kekahi, a ua ilihune kekahi.
And the Lord sent Nathan unto David, and he came unto him and said to him, Two men were once in one city, the one rich and the other poor.
2 He nui loa hoi na ohana hipa a me na ohana bipi a ke kanaka waiwai:
The rich man had flocks and herds, in great abundance.
3 Aka, na ke kanaka ilihune, hookahi wale no keikihipa wahine uuku ana i kuai ai a hanai iho ai: noho pu iho la ia me ia a me na keiki ana; ai iho la ia i kana ai, a inu hoi ma kona kiaha, a moe iho la ia ma kona poli, a me he kaikamahine la ia nana.
But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe, which he had bought; and he nourished it, and it grew up with him and with his children together; of his bread it used to eat, and out of his cup it used to drink, and in his bosom it used to lie, and it was to him as a daughter.
4 A hele mai la he kanaka hele i ua kanaka waiwai la, a aua iho la ia ke lawe i ko kana ohana hipa a me kana ohana bipi e kalua na ua kanaka la i hele mai io na la; aka, kii aku la ia i ke keikihipa a ke kanaka ilihune, a kalua iho la na ke kanaka i hele mai io na la.
And there came a traveler unto the rich man; and he felt compunction to take from his own flocks and from his own herds to dress for the wayfarer that was come to him; but he took the ewe of the poor man, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
5 Huhu loa aku la o Davida i ua kanaka la; i aku la oia ia Natana, Ma ke ola ana o Iehova, he oiaio no e make ke kanaka nana i hana ia mea.
And the anger of David was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, surely the man that hath done this deserveth to die;
6 A e hoihoi pa-ha aku ia i ke keikihipa, no ka hana ana ia mea, a no ka mea, aohe ona aloha.
And the ewe he shall pay fourfold, for punishment that he hath done this thing, and because he had no compassion.
7 I aku la o Natana ia Davida, O oe no ia kanaka: Penei ka Iehova ke Akua no ka Iseraela i olelo mai ai, Ua poni aku no au ia oe i alii raaluna o ka Iseraela, a ua hoopakele hoi au ia oe i ka lima o Saula:
Then said Nathan to David, Thou art the man! Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, It is I who anointed thee as king over Israel, and it is I who delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
8 A haawi aku la au i ka hale o kou haku nou, a me na wahine a kou haku iloko o kou poli, a haawi aku la hoi au i ka ohana o ka Iseraela a me ka Iuda nou: a ina he uuku keia mau mea, alaila e haawi aku hoi au nau, i kela mau mea, a i keia mau mea.
And I gave unto thee the house of thy master, and [put] the wives of thy master into thy bosom, and gave unto thee the house of Israel and Judah: and if this be too little, I could bestow on thee yet many more like these things.
9 Heaha hoi kau i hoowahawaha ai i ke kanawai o Iehova, e hana i ka hewa imua o kona maka? Ua pepehi ae oe ia Uria ka Heta me ka pahikaua, a ua lawe oe i kana wahine i wahine nau; a ua pepehi i ke kane me ka pahikaua a ka poe mamo a Amona.
Wherefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord to do what is evil in his eyes? Uriyah the Hittite hast thou smitten with the sword, and his wife hast thou taken unto thee for wife; but him hast thou slain with the sword of the children of 'Ammon.
10 No ia mea hoi, aole loa e kaawale aku ka pahikaua mai kou ohana aku; no ka mea, ua hoowahawaha mai oe ia'u, a ua lawe oe i ka wahine a Uria ka Heta i wahine nau.
And now, the sword shall not depart from thy house for ever; for the reason that thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriyah the Hittite to be thy wife.
11 Penei ka Iehova i olelo mai ai, Eia hoi, e hoala auanei au i ka ino ku e ia oe maloko o kou hale, a e lawe au i kau mau wahine imua o kou maka, a e haawi aku ia lakou na kou hoalauna, a e moe ia me kau mau wahine imua o keia la.
Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against thee evil out of thy own house, and I will take away thy wives before thy eyes, and I will give them unto thy neighbor; and he shall lie with thy wives before the face of this sun.
12 No ka mea, ua hana malu oe i kau; aka, e hana au i keia mea imua o ka Iseraela a pau, a imua hoi o ka la.
For thou hast done it in secret; but I will surely do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
13 I aku la o Davida ia Natana, Ua hana hewa wau ia Iehova. I mai la o Natana ia Davida, Ua kala aku hoi o Iehova i kou hewa; aole oe e make.
Then said David unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, Also the Lord hath caused thy sin to pass away: thou shalt not die.
14 Aka, no ka mea, ma keia hana ana au, ua loaa i ka poe enemi o Iehova ke kumu e olelo hoino ai, he oiaio no e make ke keiki i hanau mai nau.
Nevertheless, because thou hast given great cause to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme through this thing, the child also that hath been born unto thee shall surely die.
15 Hoi aku la o Natana i kona hale. Hahau mai la o Iehova i ke keiki a ka wahine a Uria i hanau mai ai na Davida, a mai nui iho la ia.
And Nathan went to his house; and the Lord struck the child that Uriyah's wife had born unto David, that it became very sick.
16 Nolaila, nonoi aku la o Davida i ke Akua no ke keiki: hookeai iho la o Davida, komo aku la, a moe iho la ma ka honua a ao ka po.
And David besought God in behalf of the lad; and David kept a fast, and came home, and lay over night upon the earth.
17 Ku ae la na lunakahiko o kona hale, hele aku la io na la e hoala ia ia mai ka honua ae: aole ia i ae aku, aole hoi i ai i ka ai me lakou.
And the elders of the house arose about him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he did not partake of any bread with them.
18 A i ka hiku o ka la, make iho la ke keiki. Makau iho la na kauwa a Davida e hai aku ia ia, ua make ke keiki; i ae la lakou, Aia i ke ola ana o ke keiki, olelo aku la kakou ia ia, aole ia i hoolohe mai i ko kakou leo: he oiaio no, e hana eha oia ia ia iho, ke hai aku kakou ia ia, ua make ke keiki.
And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died; and the servants of David were afraid to tell him, that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how then shall we say to him, The child is dead! he might do [himself] a hurt.
19 A ike ae la o Davida i ka hamumumu a na kauwa ana, ike iho la o Davida, ua make ke keiki: nolaila i aku la o Davida i kana mau kauwa, Ua make anei ke keiki? I mai la lakou, Ua make.
But when David saw that his servants were whispering to each other, David understood that the child was dead; wherefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, he is dead.
20 Alaila, ku ae la o Davida mai ka honua aku, auau iho la, a hamo iho la i ka aila, aahu iho la ia ia i ka lole hou, hele aku la i ka hale o Iehova, a hoomana aku la. Alaila hoi mai la ia i kona hale: a kena aku la ia, a kau mai la lakou i ka ai imua ona, a ai iho la ia.
David then rose up from the earth, and washed and anointed himself, and changed his garments, and went into the house of the Lord and prostrated himself; and then he came to his own house, and asked that they should set food before him, and he ate.
21 Alaila, i aku la kana mau kauwa ia ia. Heaha keia au i hana iho nei? hookeai iho la oe me ka uwe i ke keiki i kona wa e ola ana; a make iho ke keiki, ua ala ae oe a ai iho i ka ai.
And his servants then said unto him, What is this thing which thou hast done? On account of the child when living thou didst fast and weep; but as soon as the child was dead thou didst arise and eat bread!
22 I mai la kela, A e ola ana ke keiki, hookeai iho la au me ka uwe: i iho la au, Malama paha e aloha mai ke Akua ia'u i ola ke keiki.
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; because I said, Who knoweth, but that the Lord will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
23 Ano hoi, ua make ia: no ke aha hoi au e hookeai ai? E hiki anei ia'u ke hoihoi mai ia ia? Owau ke hele aku io na la, aka, aole ia e hoi hou mai io'u nei.
But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast then? can I restore him again? I am going to him; but he will not return to me.
24 Hooluolu aku la o Davida ia Bateseba i kana wahine; komo aku la ia iloko io na la, a moe me ia: a hanau mai la ia i keikikane, a kapa aku la kela i kona inoa, o Solomona; a aloha mai la o Iehova ia ia.
And David comforted Bath-sheba' his wife, and he went in unto her, and lay with her; and she bore a son, and called his name Solomon; and the Lord loved him.
25 Hoouna mai la ia i ke kaula ia Natana, a kapa mai la ia i kona inoa o Iedidia, no Iehova.
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name, Yedideyah in behalf of the Lord.
26 Kaua aku la o Ioaba ia Raba o na mamo a Amona, a hoopio mai la i ke kulanakauhale alii.
And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of 'Ammon, and captured the royal city.
27 Hoouna mai la o Ioaba i na elele io Davida la, i mai la, E, ua kana aku no wau ia Raba, a ua hoopio iho i ke kulanakauhale wai.
And Joab sent messengers to David; and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have also captured the water-town.
28 Ano hoi, e hoakoakoa pu mai oe i na kanaka e koe, e kaua aku i ke kulanakauhale, a e hoopio ia wahi; o pio auanei ke kulanakauhale ia'u, a e kaheaia ko'u inoa maluna ona.
And now gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and capture it: lest I capture the city myself, and it be called by my name.
29 Hoakoakoa pu ae la o Davida i na kanaka a pau, a hele aku la i Raba, kaua aku la ia, a hoopio iho la ia wahi.
And David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and captured it.
30 Lawe ae la hoi ia i ka papale o ko lakou alii, mailuna o kona poo, ma ke kaupaona ana, he talena gula ia, me na pohaku makamae, a ua kauia maluna o ke poo o Davida. A lawe mai la ia i ka waiwai pio o ke kulanakauhale he nui loa.
And he took the crown of Malkam from off his head, and its weight was a talent of gold, and [on it was] a precious stone, and it was set on the head of David; and the booty of the city he brought out in great abundance.
31 Lawe ae la hoi oia i na kanaka maloko, a kau iho la ia lakou malalo o na pahiolo, a malalo o na mea hao oioi, a malalo hoi o na koilipi hao, a hoohele aku la hoi ia lakou mawaena o ka umu pohakuula: pela ia i hana aku ai i na kulanakauhale a pau i na mamo a Amona. A hoi aku la o Davida a me na kanaka a pau i Ierusalema.
And the people that were therein he brought forward, and put them under saws, and under iron threshing-wagons, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through brick-kilns; and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of 'Ammon: and David returned with them with all the people unto Jerusalem.
