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.

Now when David was a little past the top, look, Ziba the servant of Mippibaal met him with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a container 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 to Ziba, "Why did you bring these things?" And Ziba replied, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those who get exhausted in the desert."

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.

Then the king said, "Where is your master's son?" Ziba said to the king, "Look, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the children of Israel will restore to me the kingdom 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 the king said to Ziba, "Look, all that pertains to Mippibaal is yours." Ziba said, "I humbly bow. May I find favor in the sight of my lord the 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 David reached Bahurim, now look, a man of the family of the house of Saul came out, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera. He came out and cursed continuously as he approached.

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 threw stones at David and at all his servants, and all the people and all the soldiers at his right hand and at 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 Shimei said as he cursed, "Get out, get out, you man of blood, and worthless 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 has returned on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. And look, your evil is upon you, because you are a man of bloodshed."

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 Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off 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?

The king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because the LORD has said to him, 'Curse David;' who then shall say, 'Why have you 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.

Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Look, my son who came from my body seeks my life. So also now this Benjamite. Leave him alone and let him curse, for the LORD has told him to.

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.

Perhaps the LORD will look on my affliction and return good to me for his cursing today."

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.

So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him, and cursed as he went, threw stones at his flank, and threw dirt.

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

Now the king and all his people arrived weary at the Jordan, and he refreshed himself there.

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

Now Absalom and all the men of Israel arrived in Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was 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 it came about when David's friend Hushai the Archite came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, "Long live the king. Long live 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?

So Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your 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.

Then Hushai said to Absalom, "No, but whom the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I belong, and with him I will stay.

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.

Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn't I serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, so will I be in your presence."

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

Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give your counsel. What should we do?"

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.

Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Go in to your father's secondary wives, that he has left to care for the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench to your father. Then those on your side will be motivated to support you."

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 set up a tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom went in to his father's secondary wives 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.

Now in those days the counsel that Ahithophel gave was as if one inquired of the word of God. So was all the counsel of Ahithophel both to David and to Absalom.
