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 Absolom prepared him chariots 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 Absolom used to rise up early, and take his stand beside the way of the gate, —and so it was—when any man who had a controversy would come unto the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said: Of what city, art, thou? And he said, Of one of the tribes of Israel, is thy servant. And Absolom said unto him,
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.
See! thy cause, is good and right, —but, to hear it, thou hast no one, from the king.
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.
And Absalom said, Oh would that I were appointed to judge in the land! that, unto me, might come every man having a complaint or a defence, then would I see him righted.
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.
Moreover, so it used to be, that, when any man came near to do him homage, he would put forth his hand, and lay hold of him, and 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 Absolom did, after this manner, to all Israel who came for judgment, unto the king, —so Absolom stole away the heart 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 Absolom said unto the king—Let me go, I pray thee, that I may pay my vow which I have vowed unto Yahweh, 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 in Geshur in Syria, saying, —If Yahweh, will but bring me back, unto Jerusalem, then will I serve Yahweh,
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 and prosper! 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.
And Absolom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, —When ye hear the sound of the horn, then shall ye say, Absolom hath become 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 Absolom, went two hundred men, out of Jerusalem, who, having been bidden, were going in their simplicity, —neither knew they 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 and called Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, out of his city, out of Gilo, when he was offering sacrifices, —and so it was that the conspiracy was strong, and, the people, went on multiplying with Absolom.
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 came one bearing tidings unto David, saying, —It hath come about, that the heart of the men of Israel goeth after Absolom.
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.
Then said David, to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem—Arise and let us flee, or we shall have no way of escape from the face of Absolom, —make speed to depart, lest he make speed, and so overtake us, and bring down misfortune 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, —According to all that my lord the king shall choose, here are thy servants.
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.
So the king went forth, with all his household attending him, —but the king left ten women who 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.
Thus then the king went forth, with all the people attending him, —and they came to a stand at a place that was far off.
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 passing on beside him, and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, —and, all the Gittites—six hundred men, who had accompanied him from Gath, —were passing 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, unto Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore shouldest, thou also, go with us? return and abide with the king, for, a stranger, art thou, moreover also, an exile, art thou from thine own country.
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.
Only yesterday, camest thou, and, today, shall I let thee wander with us, on our journey, seeing that, I, am going, whithersoever I may? Return and take back thy brethren with thee, and may Yahweh deal with thee in lovingkindness and faithfulness.
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.
But Ittai answered the king, and said, —By the life of Yahweh, and by the life of my lord the king, surely, in whatsoever place, my lord the king, may be, whether for death or for life, there 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.
Then said David unto Ittai—Go, and pass on. So Ittai the Gittite passed on, with 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, fall the land, was weeping, with a loud voice, and, all the people, were passing on, —the king also, was passing on, through the torrent-bed of Kidron, and all the people were passing on over the face of the way leading to 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, and all the Levites with him, were 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 made an end of passing over 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.
Then said the king unto Zadok, Take back the ark of God into the city, —if I find favour in the eyes of Yahweh, then will he bring me back, and let me see both him 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 thus, he say, I have no delight in thee, here I am, let him do unto me as may be good in his eyes.
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, unto Zadok the priest, Art thou not, a seer? return into the city, in peace, —and Ahimaaz thine own son, and Jonathan son of Abiathar—your two sons, 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.
See! I, am tarrying in the waste plains of the wilderness—until there come word from you, to tell 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.
So Zadok and Abiathar took back the ark of God to Jerusalem, —and 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.
Now, David, was going up by the ascent of Olivet, weeping as he went up, with his head covered, himself, passing on barefoot, —and all the people who were with him, covered every man his head, and went up, weeping as they went.
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, unto David, it was told, saying, Ahithophel, is among the conspirators with Absolom. And David said, Turn to foolishness, I pray thee, the counsel of Ahithophel, O Yahweh.
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, when David reached the summit, where he bowed himself down unto God, that lo! there met him, Hushai the Archite, his tunic 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 pass over with me, then shalt thou become unto me, a burden;
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, to the city, thou return, then canst thou say unto Absolom—Thy servant, I, O king, will be, as, the servant of thy father, I was formerly, so will I, now, be thy servant: thus shalt thou frustrate 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, with thee, there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? so then it shall be, that, what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the house of the king, thou shalt tell to Zadok and to 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.
Lo! they have there with them, their two sons, Ahimaaz for Zadok, and Jonathan for Abiathar, —so shall ye send, by their hand, unto me, everything which 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, went into the city, —when, Absolom, was about to enter Jerusalem.
