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.
Then, after these things, Absalom obtained for himself chariots, and horsemen, and fifty men who went 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 rising up in the morning, Absalom was standing beside the entrance of the gate. And when there was any man who had a dispute that might go before the king’s judgment, Absalom would call him to him, and would say, “Which city are you from?” And responding, he would say, “I am your servant, from a certain tribe 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 would answer him: “Your words seem good and just to me. But there is no one appointed by the king to hear you.” And Absalom would say:
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.
“Who may appoint me judge over the land, so that all those who have a dispute might come to me, and I might judge justly.”
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.
Then too, when a man would draw near to him, so that he might greet him, he would extend his hand, and taking hold of him, he would kiss 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 he was doing this to all those of Israel arriving for judgment to be heard by the king. And he solicited 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.
Then, after forty years, Absalom said to king David: “I should go and pay my vows, which I have vowed to the Lord at 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 your servant made a vow, when he was in Geshur of Syria, saying: If the Lord will lead me back to Jerusalem, I will sacrifice to the Lord.”
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 king David said to him, “Go in peace.” And he rose up and went away 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.
Then Absalom sent scouts into all the tribes of Israel, saying: “As soon as you hear the blare of the trumpet, say: ‘Absalom reigns 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.
Now having been called, two hundred men from Jerusalem went forth with Absalom, going in simplicity of heart and being entirely ignorant of the plan.
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.
Absalom also summoned Ahithophel the Gilonite, a counselor of David, from his city, Giloh. And when he was immolating victims, a very strong oath was sworn, and the people, hurrying together, joined 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.
Then a messenger went to David, saying, “With their whole heart, all of Israel is following 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 to his servants, who were with him in Jerusalem: “Rise up, let us flee! For otherwise there will be no escape for us from the face of Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest perhaps, upon arriving, he may seize us, and force ruin upon us, and strike 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 servants of the king said to him, “Everything whatsoever that our lord the king will command, we your servants shall carry out willingly.”
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.
Therefore, the king departed, with his entire household on foot. And the king left behind ten women of the concubines to care for 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 having gone forth on foot, the king and all of Israel stood at a distance from the house.
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 were walking beside him. And the legions of the Cerethites and Phelethites, and all the Gittites, powerful fighters, six hundred men who had followed him from Gath on foot, were preceding 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 the king said to Ittai the Gittite: “Why do you come with us? Return and live with the king. For you are a stranger, and you departed from your 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.
You arrived yesterday. And today should you be compelled to go away with us? For I should go to the place where I am going. But you should return, and lead your own brothers back with you. And the Lord will show mercy and truth to you, because you have shown grace and faith.”
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 responded to the king, by saying, “As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, in whatever place you will be, my lord the king, whether in death or in life, your servant will be there.”
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, “Come, and pass over.” And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all the men who were with him, and the rest of the multitude.
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 they all wept with a great voice, and all the people passed over. The king also passed over the torrent Kidron. And all the people advanced opposite the way which looks out toward the desert.
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.
Now Zadok the priest also went, and all the Levites went with him, carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God. And Abiathar went up, until all the people who had departed from the city had gone by.
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 to Zadok: “Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will lead me back. And he will show it to me in his tabernacle.
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 will say to me, ‘You are not pleasing,’ I am ready. Let him do whatever is good in his own sight.”
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.
And the king said to Zadok the priest: “O seer, return into the city in peace. And let your son Ahimaaz, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, your two sons, be with you.
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.
Behold, I will hide in the plains of the desert, until word from you may arrive to inform 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.
Therefore, Zadok and Abiathar carried back the ark of God into Jerusalem, and they remained 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.
But David ascended to the Mount of Olives, climbing and weeping, advancing with bare feet and with his head covered. Moreover, all the people who were with him ascended, weeping with their heads covered.
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.
Then it was reported to David that Ahithophel also had joined in swearing with Absalom. And David said, “O Lord, I beg you, to uncover the foolishness of the counsel of Ahithophel.”
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 when David had ascended to the summit of the mountain, where he was going to adore the Lord, behold Hushai the Archite met him, with his garment torn and his head covered with soil.
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 to him: “If you come with me, you will be a burden to 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 you return to the city, and you say to Absalom, ‘I am your servant, O king; just as I have been the servant of your father, so too will I be your servant,’ you will destroy 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 you have with you the priests Zadok and Abiathar. And any word whatsoever that you will hear from the house of the king, you shall reveal 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.
Now with them are their two sons Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar. And you shall send to me by them every word that you will have heard.”
37 Alaila hoi aku la o Husai ka hoalauna o Davida maloko o ke kulanakauhale; a hele mai la hoi o Abesaloma i Ierusalema.
Therefore, Hushai, the friend of David, went into the city. And Absalom also entered into Jerusalem.
