II Samuela 15
1 MAHOPE iho o ia mea la, hoomakaukau ae la o Abesaloma i na hale kaa a me na lio nona, a me na kanaka he kanalima e holo imua ona.
And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
2 Ala ae la o Abesaloma i kakahiaka, a ku mai la ma kapa alanui ma ka ipuka: a hele aku kekahi kanaka i ke alii ia ia ka mea hakaka e hooponoponoia'i ma ke kanawai, alaila hea aku la o Abesaloma ia ia, i aku la, No ke kulanakauhale hea oe? I mai la kela, No kekahi ohana a Iseraela kau kauwa.
And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that, when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
3 I aku la o Abesaloma, Aia, he maikai, a he pono kau mau mea; aka, aohe kanaka o ke alii nana e hooponopono i kau.
And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.
4 I aku la hoi o Abesaloma, Ina paha e hoonohoia au he lunakanawai o ka aina, alaila o kela kanaka o keia kanaka ia ia ka mea e hookolokoloia'i, e hele mai ia io'u nei, a e hooponopono aku au nona.
Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!
5 A I ka wa i hele mai ai kekahi kanaka e uwe aloha ia ia, o aku la ia i kona lima, lalau aku la ia ia, a honi ae la.
And it was so, that, when any man came nigh to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.
6 Pela no i hana aku ai o Abesaloma i ka Iseraela a pau i hele mai i ke alii no ka hooponoponoia. A aihue ae la o Abesaloma i na naau o ka Iseraela.
And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 Mahope iho o na makahiki hookahi kanaha, i aku la o Abesaloma i ke alii, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe e hele au i Heberona e hooko aku i kuu hoohild ana a'u i hoohiki ai ia Iehova.
And it came to pass at the end of forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto Jehovah, in Hebron.
8 No ka mea, hoohiki aku la au i kuu wa i noho ai ma Gesura i Suria, i aku la, Ina paha e hoihoi io aku o Iehova ia'u ma Ierusalema, alaila au e malama aku ai ia Iehova.
For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If Jehovah shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve Jehovah.
9 I mai la ke alii ia ia, O hele oe me ke aloha. Ku ae la ia, a hele aku la i Heberona.
And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
10 Hoouna aku la o Abesaloma i na kiu iwaena o na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, i aku la, A lohe oukou i ke kani ana o ka pu, alaila, e olelo oukou, E alii ana o Abesaloma ma Heberona.
But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom is king in Hebron.
11 Hele pu aku la me Abesaloma mai Ierusalema aku elua haneri kanaka i waeia; a hele naaupo wale no lakou, aole i ike i kekahi mea.
And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they knew not anything.
12 Hoouna aku la o Abesaloma e kii ia Ahitopela no Gilo, he kakaolelo no Davida, e hele mai mai kona kulanakaauhale, mai Gilo mai, i ka wa ana i mohai aku ai. Ua ikaika no ka poe kipi; no ka mea, ua mahuahua mau mai a nui ae na kanaka me Abesaloma.
And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
13 Hele mai la kekahi kanaka io Davida la, i mai la, Aia mamuli o Abesaloma na naau o na kanaka o ka Iseraela.
And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
14 I mai la o Davida i na kanaka ona a pau ma Ierusalema, E ku ae, a e holo aku kakou; no ka mea, pela wale no e pakele ai kakou mai o Abesaloma aku: e wikiwiki ka hele aku, o hiki koke mai oia io kakou nei, a hooili mai oia i ka ino maluna o kakou, a pepehi mai i ke kulanakauhale nei me ka maka o ka pahikaua.
And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for else none of us shall escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
15 I aku la na kanaka o ke alii, Eia hoi makou, e hana na kauwa au i ka mea au e olelo mai.
And the king’s servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall choose.
16 Hele aku la ke alii iwaho, a o kona ohana a pau mahope ona: waiho iho lake alii i na wahine he umi, he mau haiawahine e malama i ka hale.
And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, that were concubines, to keep the house.
17 Hele aku la ke alii iwaho, a o na kanaka a pau mahope ona, a kakali aku la ma kahi mamao aku.
And the king went forth, and all the people after him; and they tarried in Beth-merhak.
18 Hele pu aku la kana poe kauwa a pau me ia; hele aku la hoi imua o ke alii ka poe Kereti a pau, a o ka poe Peleti a pau, me ka poe Giti a pau, eono haneri kanaka ka poe hele mai mamuli ona mai Gata mai.
And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men that came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
19 Alaila i aku la ke alii ia Itai ke Giti, No ke aha hi oe e hele pu ai me makou E hoi hou i kou wahi, a e noho me ke alii, no ka mea, he malihini oe, a no ka aiha e mai.
Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return, and abide with the king: for thou art a foreigner, and also an exile; [return] to thine own place.
20 Inehinei wale no kou hele ana mai, a e pono no anei e hooauwana aku au ia oe iluna a ilalo me makou Ke hele nei au i kuu wahi e hele ai; nolala, e hoi oe, a e kono pu me oe i ou mau hoahar nau: a me oe no ke alohaia mai a me ka oiaio.
Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go whither I may? return thou, and take back thy brethren; mercy and truth be with thee.
21 Olelo mai la o Itai i ke alii, i mai la, Ma ke ola ana o Iehova, a me ke ola ana o ko'u haku o ke alii, he oiaio no, ma na wahi a pau a kuu haku a ke alii e noho ai me ka make paha, a me ke ola paha, malaila pu no hoi kau kanwa nei.
And Ittai answered the king, and said, As Jehovah liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also will thy servant be.
22 I aku la ke alii ia Itai, E hele pu, a e hele aku hoi oe ma kela aoao. Hele aku la o Itai ke Giti ma kela aoao me na kanaka ona a pau, a me na kamalii a pau me ia.
And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
23 Uwe aku la ko ka aina a pau me ka leo nui, a hele nui aku la na kanaka ma kela aoao: o ke alii no hoi kekahi i hele aku ma kela aoao o ke kahawai o Kederona; a hele aku la na kanaka a pau i ke ala o ka waonahele.
And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
24 Aia hoi o Zadoka a me ka poe Levi a pau me ia, e halihali ana i ka pahu berita o ke Akua: kau iho la lakou i ka pahu o ke Akua ilalo; a pii aku la o Abiatara, a pau mai na kanaka i ka hele mailoko mai o ke kulanakauhale.
And, lo, Zadok also [came], and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city.
25 I aku la ke alii ia Zadoka, E hoihoi oe i ka pahu o ke Akua iloko o ke kulanakauhale: ina paha e loaa ia'u ke aloha ma na maka o Iehova, alaila e hoihoi mai kela ia'u, a e hoike mai ia mea ia'u a me kona wahi noho.
And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favor in the eyes of Jehovah, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation:
26 Aka, ina paha e olelo mai kela, Aole o'u oluolu ia oe; eia hoi wau, e hana mai kela ia'u e like me ka mea i pono ia ia.
but if he say thus, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.
27 I aku la hoi ke alii ia Zadoka ke kahuna, aole anei oe he kaula? E hoi hou oe i ke kulanakauhale me ke aloha, me kau mau keikikane elua me Ahimaaza kau keiki, a me Ionatana ke keiki a Abiatara.
The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art thou [not] a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28 Aia, e kali no wau ma ka papu o ka waonahele, a loaa ia'u ka olelo mai o olua mai la e hoike mai ai ia'u.
See, I will tarry at the fords of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.
29 Nolaila, hoihoi aku la o Zadoka laua o Abiatara i ka pahu o ke Akua i Ierusalema: a noho iho la laua ilaila.
Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they abode there.
30 Pii aku la o Davida ma ke alapii o Oliveta, e uwe ana ma kona hele ana, me ka uhiia o kona poo; a hele kamaa ole ia: a uhi iho la kela kanaka keia kanaka me ia i kona poo; a pii aku la lakou, a uwe iho la ma ko lakou hele ana.
And David went up by the ascent of the [mount of] Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot: and all the people that were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
31 I mai la kekahi ia Davida, Aia o Ahitopela me ka poe kipi me Abesaloma. I aku la o Davida, E Iehova, ke pule aku nei au ia oe, e hoolilo oe i ka oleloao a Ahitopela i mea lapuwale.
And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Jehovah, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
32 A hiki aku la o Davida iluna, kahi ana i hoomana aku ai i ke Akua, aia hoi, hele mai la o Husai no Areki e halawai me ia, ua haehae kona kapa, a he lepo maluna o kona poo.
And it came to pass, that, when David was come to the top [of the ascent], where God was worshipped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head.
33 I aku la o Davida ia ia, Ina paha e hele pu oe me au, alaila e kaumaha wau ia oe:
And David said unto him, If thou passest on with me, then thou wilt be a burden unto me:
34 Aka, i hoi hou aku paha oe i ke kulanakauhale, a e i aku ia Abesaloma, E hookauwa aku au nau, e ke alii, e like me ka'u i hookauwa aku ai na kou makuakane mamua, pela hoi au e hookauwa aku ai nau; alaila, e hiki paha ia oe ke hoolilo i ka oleloao a Ahitopela i mea ole no'u.
but if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father’s servant in time past, so will I now be thy servant; then wilt thou defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.
35 A o Zadoka laua o Abiatara na kahuna, aole anei laua pu kekahi me oe? Nolaila, o kau mea e lohe mailoko mai o ka hale o ke alii, oia kau e hai aku ai ia Zadoka a me Abiatara na kahuna.
And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36 Aia no me laua ka laua mau keikikane o Ahimaaza ka Zadoka a o Ionatana ka Abiatara, a ma o laua la e hoouka mai ai oukou i na mea a pau a oukou e lohe ai.
Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them ye shall send unto me everything that ye shall hear.
37 Alaila hoi aku la o Husai ka hoalauna o Davida maloko o ke kulanakauhale; a hele mai la hoi o Abesaloma i Ierusalema.
So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
