II Samuela 16

1 A HALA iki aku la o Davida mai kahi kiekie o ka puu aku, aia hoi, halawai mai la me ia o Ziba ke kauwa a Mepiboseta, me na hoki elua i hoeeia e na noho, a maluna iho o laua elua haneri pai berena, me na huiwaina maloo he haneri, me na ope huafiku maloo he haneri, a me kekahi huewaina.

When Dauid was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the seruant of Mephibosheth mette him with a couple of asses sadled, and vpon them two hundreth cakes of bread, and an hundreth bunches of raisins, and an hundreth of dryed figges, and a bottel of wine.

2 Ninau aku la ke alii ia Ziba, I me aha keia mau mea ia oe? I mai la o Ziba, O na hoki, no na ohua o ke alii ia e holo ia; a o ka berena a me ka hua maloo, na na kanaka opiopio ia e ai ai; a o ka waina, no ka poe nawaliwali ia e inu ai ma ka waonahele.

And the King said vnto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, They be asses for the kings housholde to ride on, and bread and dryed figges for the yong men to eate, and wine, that the faint may drinke in the wildernesse.

3 Ninau aku la ke alii, Auhea la ke keiki a kou haku? I aku la o Ziba i ke alii, Aia no e noho la ma Ierusalema: no ka mea, i aku la ia, I keia la e hoihoi mai ana ka ohana a Iseraela i ke aupuni o ko'u kupunakane no'u.

And the king sayde, But where is thy masters sonne? Then Ziba answered the King, Beholde, he remayneth in Ierusalem: for he sayde, This day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdome of my father.

4 Alaila, i mai la ke alii ia Ziba, Aia hoi, nou no na mea a pau i pili no Mepiboseta. I aku la o Ziba, Ke noi haahaa aku nei au ia oe, i loaa ia'u ke aloha imua o kou maka, e kuu haku, e ke alii e.

Then said the King to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that perteined vnto Mephibosheth. And Ziba saide, I beseech thee, let me finde grace in thy sight, my lord, O King.

5 A hiki aku la o Davida ke alii i Bahurima, Aia hoi, puka mai la iwaho kekahi kanaka no ka ohana a Saula, o Simei kona inoa, o ke keiki a Gera; hele mai la ia iwaho, a kuamuamu mai la i kona hele ana mai.

And when king Dauid came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the familie of the house of Saul, named Shimei the sonne of Gera: and he came out, and cursed.

6 Nou aku la ia i na pohaku ia Davida, a i na kauwa a ke alii a Davida: ma kona akau a ma kona hema ka poe kanaka a pau, a me ka poe koa a pau.

And he cast stones at Dauid, and at all the seruants of King Dauid: and all the people, and all the men of warre were on his right hande, and on his left.

7 Penei ka Simei i olelo ai i kana kuamuamu ana, E puka oe iwaho, e puka oe iwaho, e ke kanaka koko, ke kanaka Beliala.

And thus sayde Shimei when hee cursed, Come forth, come foorth thou murtherer, and wicked man.

8 Ua hoopai mai o Iehova maluna iho ou i ke koko a pau o ka ohana a Saula, nona kou wahi i nohoalii ai: a na haawi aku o Iehova i ke aapuni iloko o ka lima o Abesaloma o kau keiki: aia hoi oe maloko o kou kolohe, no ka mea, he kanaka koko oe.

The Lord hath brought vpon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned: and the Lord hath deliuered thy kingdome into the hand of Absalom thy sonne: and beholde, thou art taken in thy wickednesse, because thou art a murtherer.

9 Alaila, i aku la o Abisai ke keiki a Zeruia i ke alii, No ke aha la e kuamuamu mai ai keia ilio make i kuu haku i ke alii? E hele aku paha wau i o, a e oki ae i kona poo.

Then saide Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah vnto the King, Why doeth this dead dog curse my lord the King? let me goe, I pray thee, and take away his head.

10 I mai la ke alii, Heaha ka'u ia olua, e na keiki a Zeruia? E kuamuamu mai no oia pela; no ka mea, ua olelo mai no o Iehova ia ia, e kuamuamu ia Davida. Owai hoi ke olelo aku, No ke aha la oe i hana'i pela?

But the King saide, What haue I to doe with you, ye sonnes of Zeruiah? for he curseth, eue because the Lord hath bidden him curse Dauid: who dare then say, Wherfore hast thou done so?

11 I aku la o Davida ia Abisai a me kana poe kauwa a pau, Aia hoi ka'u keiki, ka mea i puka ae mailoko aku o'u, ua imi mai kela i kuu ola: e oiaio no hoi keia mamo a Beniamina. E waiho pela, e aho oia ke kuamuamu mai; no ka mea, ua olelo mai o Iehova ia ia.

And Dauid sayd to Abishai, and to all his seruants, Beholde, my sonne which came out of mine owne bowels, seeketh my life: then howe much more now may this sonne of Iemini? Suffer him to curse: for the Lord hath bidden him.

12 Malia paha e nana mai o Iehova i kuu ehaeha, a e hoomaikai paha o Iehova ia'u no kana kuamuamu ana mai i keia la.

It may be that the Lord will looke on mine affliction, and doe me good for his cursing this day.

13 A i ka hele ana o Davida a me na kanaka ona ma ke ala, hele aku la hoi o Simei ma ka aoao o ka puu e ku pono ana ia ia; a i kona hele ana, kuamuamu mai la ia, nou mai la i na pohaku ia ia, a hoolei mai la hoi i ka lepo.

And as Dauid and his men went by the way, Shimei went by the side of the mountaine ouer against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones against him, and cast dust.

14 Maluhiluhi iho la ke alii a me ka poe kanaka a pau me ia, a hoomaha iho la ilaila.

Then came the King and all the people that were with him wearie, and refreshed them selues there.

15 Hele mai la o Abesaloma a me na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela i Ierusalema, a o Ahitopela kekahi me ia.

And Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Ierusalem, and Ahithophel with him.

16 A hiki aku la hoi o Husai no Areki, ka hoalauna o Davida io Abesaloma la, i aku la o Husai ia Abesaloma, E ola ke alii, e ola ke alii.

And when Hushai the Archite Dauids friend was come vnto Absalom, Hushai said vnto Absalom, God saue the King, God saue the King.

17 I mai la o Abesaloma ia Husai, Oia anei kou aloha i kou hoalauna? Heaha hoi kau i hele ole aku ai me kou hoalauna?

Then Absalom sayd to Hushai, Is this thy kindenes to thy friend? Why wentest thou not with thy friend?

18 I aku la o Husai ia Abesaloma, Aole, o ka mea a Iehova, a o keia poe kanaka, a o na kanaka o ka Iseraela a pau e koho ai, nona no wau, a e noho pu au me ia.

Hushai then answered vnto Absalom, Nay, but whome the Lord, and this people, and all the men of Israel chuse, his will I be, and with him will I dwell.

19 Nawai la hoi au e hookauwa aku ai, ke ole ma ke alo o kana keiki? Me au i hookauwa aku ai ma ke alo o kou makuakane, pela hoi au e hookauwa aku ai ma Kou alo.

And moreouer vnto whome shall I doe seruice? not to his sonne? as I serued before thy father, so will I before thee.

20 Alaila, i mai la o Abesaloma ia Ahitopela, E kukakuka oukou i ka mea a kakou e hana aku ai.

Then spake Absalom to Ahithophel, Giue counsell what we shall doe.

21 I aku la o Ahitopela ia Abesaloma, E komo aku oe iloko i na haiawahine a kou makuakane, ana i waiho ai e kiai i ka hale; a e lohe ka Iseraela a pau e hoowahawahaia oe e kou makuakane, alaila e ikaika ai na lima o ka poe a pau me oe.

And Ahithophel said vnto Absalom, Goe in to thy fathers concubines, which he hath left to keepe the house: and when all Israel shall heare, that thou art abhorred of thy father, the hands of all that are with thee, shall be strong.

22 Nolaila, kukulu lakou i haleole no Abesaloma maluna o ka hale; a komo aku la o Abesaloma maloko i na haiawahine a kona makuakane, imua o ka Iseraela a pau.

So they spread Absalom a tent vpon the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his fathers concubines in the sight of all Israel.

23 A o ka oleloao a Ahitopela i olelo aku ai ia mau la, ua like ia me ka ke Akua olelo a ke kanaka i ninau aku ai: pela no ka oleloao a pau a Ahitopela ia Davida a me Abesaloma.

And the counsell of Ahithophel which he counseled in those dayes, was like as one had asked counsell at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with Dauid and with Absalom.
