II Samuela 17
1 OLELO aku la o Ahitopela ia Abesaloma, He pono na'u e wae aku ano i na kanaka he umikumamalua tausani, a e ku ae au a e hahai aku mahope o Davida i neia po.
And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, 'Let me choose, I pray thee, twelve thousand men, and I arise and pursue after David to-night,
2 A e loaa aku ia'u ia oi nawaliwali ia a me ke kanaka ole, a e hooweliweli aku au ia ia; a e holo aku na kanaka a pau me ia; a o ke alii wale no ka'u e pepehi aku ai.
and come upon him, and he weary and feeble-handed, and I have caused him to tremble, and all the people have fled who [are] with him, and I have smitten the king by himself,
3 A e hoihoi mai nei au i na kanaka a pau iou nei; o ke kanaka au e imi nei, na like ia me ka hoi hou ana mai o lakou a pau: pela e malu ai na kanaka a pau.
and I bring back all the people unto thee — as the turning back of the whole [is] the man whom thou art seeking — all the people are peace.
4 He pono keia olelo i ka manao o Abesaloma a me na lunakahiko a pau o ka Iseraela.
And the thing is right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
5 Alaila, i mai la o Abesaloma, E kahea aku hoi ia Husai no Areki; e lohe hoi kakou i kana olelo.
And Absalom saith, 'Call, I pray thee, also for Hushai the Archite, and we hear what [is] in his mouth — even he.'
6 A hiki mai o Husai io Abesaloma la, olelo mai la o Abesaloma ia ia, i mai la, Pela ka Ahitopela i olelo mai ai: e hana anei kakou e like me kana olelo? A i ole, e olelo mai hoi oe.
And Hushai cometh in unto Absalom, and Absalom speaketh unto him, saying, 'According to this word hath Ahithophel spoken; do we do his word? if not, thou — speak thou.'
7 I aku la o Husai ia Abesaloma, O ka oleloao a Ahitopela ana i olelo mai ai, aohe pono ia i neia manawa.
And Hushai saith unto Absalom, 'Not good [is] the counsel that Ahithophel hath counselled at this time.'
8 No ka mea, wahi a Husai, ua ike oe i kou makuakane a me na kanaka ona, he poe kanaka ikaika lakou, a ua ukiuki ko lakou naau me he bea la i kailiia aku kana ohana keiki ma ke kula; he kanaka kaua no hoi kou makuakane, aole ia e moe me na kanaka.
And Hushai saith, 'Thou hast known thy father and his men, that they [are] heroes, and they are bitter in soul as a bereaved bear in a field, and thy father [is] a man of war, and doth not lodge with the people;
9 Aia no ia ua pee ma kekahi lua, i kekahi wahi paha: a i ka haule mua ana o kekahi mau mea o lakou, e olelo auanei ka poe lohe, He lukuia iwaena o ka poe hahai ia Abesaloma;
lo, now, he is hidden in one of the pits, or in one of the places, and it hath been, at the falling among them at the commencement, that the hearer hath heard, and said, There hath been a slaughter among the people who [are] after Absalom;
10 A o ke koa, ka mea naau e like me ka naau o ka liona, e hehee loa ia: no ka mea, ua ike ka Iseraela a pau, he kanaka koa kou makuakane, a he poe kanaka ikaika hoi ka poe me ia.
and he also, the son of valour, whose heart [is] as the heart of the lion, doth utterly melt, for all Israel doth know that thy father is a hero, and sons of valour [are] those with him.
11 Nolaila, eia kuu manao ke hai aku nei, I hoakoakoaia mai ka Iseraela a pau iou nei, mai Dana a hiki i Beeraseba, e like me ke one o ke kai ka nui loa; a e hele oe iho no i ke kaua.
'So that I have counselled: Let all Israel be diligently gathered unto thee, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, as the sand that [is] by the sea for multitude, and thou thyself art going in the midst;
12 Pela kakou e hiki aku ai io na la i kahi e loaa aku ai ia ia, a e kau aku kakou maluna ona, e like me ka hau e kau mai maluna o ka honua: a oia, a o ka poe a pau me ia, aole loa e koe kekahi o lakou.
and we have come in unto him in one of the places where he is found, and we [are] upon him as the dew falleth on the ground, and there hath not been left of him and of all the men who [are] with him even one.
13 A ina paha ua komo aku ia iloko o kekahi kulanakauhale, alaila e lawe aku ka Iseraela a pau i na kaula i ua kulanakauhale la, a e kauo aku kakou ia wahi maloko o ka muliwai, a koe ole ma ia wahi kekahi pohaku liilii.
And if unto a city he is gathered, then they have caused all Israel to bear unto that city ropes, and we have drawn it unto the brook till that there hath not been found there even a stone.'
14 I aku la o Abesaloma a me na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, ua oi aku ka pono o ka oleloao a Husai no Areki, mamua o ka oleloao a Ahitopela. No ka mea, ua manao mai o Iehova e hoolilo i ka oleloao akamai a Ahitopela i mea ole, i mea e hooili mai ai o Iehova i ka ino maluna o Abesaloma.
And Absalom saith — and all the men of Israel — 'Better [is] the counsel of Hushai the Archite than the counsel of Ahithophel;' and Jehovah willed to make void the good counsel of Ahithophel for the sake of Jehovah's bringing unto Absalom the evil.
15 Alaila, olelo aku la o Husai ia Zadoka laua o Abiatara na kahuna, Pela a penei i oleloao aku ai o Ahitopela ia Abesaloma a me na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela; pela a penei hoi au i oleloao aku ai.
And Hushai saith unto Zadok and unto Abiathar the priests, 'Thus and thus hath Ahithophel counselled Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and thus I have counselled;
16 Nolaila, e hoouna koke aku olua e hai ia Davida, i ka i ana aku, Mai moe oe i neia po ma na papu o ka waonahele, e hele koke oe ma kela aoao, o pau loa ke alii a me na kanaka me ia i ke aleia.
and now, send hastily, and declare to David, saying, Lodge not to-night in the plains of the wilderness, and also, certainly pass over, lest there be a swallowing up of the king and of all the people who are with him.'
17 A ua noho o Ionatana laua o Ahimaaza ma Enerogela, no ka mea, aole pono e ikeia laua ke komo iloko o ke kulanakauhale, a hele aku la kekahi kauwawahine, a hai aku la ia laua: hele aku la hoi laua, a hai aku la i ke alii ia Davida.
And Jonathan and Ahimaaz are standing at En-Rogel, and the maid-servant hath gone and declared to them — and they go and have declared [it] to king David — for they are not able to be seen to go in to the city.
18 Aka, ua ike no kekahi keiki ia laua, a hai aku la ia Abesaloma: aka, hele koke aku la laua a hiki aku la i ka hale o kekahi kanaka i Bahurima, a he luawai maloko o ka pahale ona, ilaila laua i iho ai.
And a youth seeth them, and declareth to Absalom; and they go on both of them hastily, and come in unto the house of a man in Bahurim, and he hath a well in his court, and they go down there,
19 Lalau aku la ka wahine i ka mea uhi, hohola iho la maluna o ka waha o ka luawai, a halii iho la i ka palaoa maluna iho: a ua ike ole ia ua mea la.
and the woman taketh and spreadeth the covering over the face of the well, and spreadeth on it the ground corn, and the thing hath not been known.
20 A hiki mai na kauwa a Abesaloma i ua wahine la ma ka hale, ninau mai la lakou, Auhea o Ahimaaza laua o Ionatana? I aku la ka wahine ia lakou, ua hala aku la laua ma kela aoao o ke kahawai. Imi aku la lakou, aole hoi i loaa, alaila hoi hou mai la lakou i Ierusalema.
And the servants of Absalom come in unto the woman to the house, and say, 'Where [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan?' and the woman saith to them, 'They passed over the brook of water;' and they seek, and have not found, and turn back to Jerusalem.
21 A hala aku la lakou, pii mai la laua mailoko mai o ka luawai, hele aku la, a hai aku la i ke alii ia Davida. I aku la ia Davida, Eku ae, e holo koke ma kela aoao o ka wai; no ka mea, penei ka Ahitopela i olelo ku e ai ia oukou.
And it cometh to pass, after their going on, that they come up out of the well, and go and declare to king David, and say unto David, 'Rise ye, and pass over hastily the waters, for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.'
22 Alaila ku ae la o Davida a me na kanaka a pau me ia, a hele aku la ma kela aoao o Ioredane: a i ka wanaao, aole i koe kekahi o lakou i ka hele ole ma kela aoao o Ioredane.
And David riseth, and all the people who [are] with him, and they pass over the Jordan, till the light of the morning, till one hath not been lacking who hath not passed over the Jordan.
23 A ike aku la o Ahitopela, aole i hanaia e like me kana oleloao, hoee aku la ia i ka noho maluna o kona hoki, ku ae la ia, hoi hou aku la ia i kona wahi, i kona hale iho, i kona kulanakauhale, a kauoha aku la no ko ka hale ona, a kaawe iho la ia ia iho, a make; a ua kanuia oia ma ka halekupapau o kona makuakane.
And Ahithophel hath seen that his counsel was not done, and he saddleth the ass, and riseth and goeth unto his house, unto his city, and giveth charge unto his household, and strangleth himself, and dieth, and he is buried in the burying-place of his father.
24 Alaila hele aku la o Davida i Mahanaima: a hele aku la hoi o Abesaloma ma kela aoao o Ioredane, oia a me na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela me ia.
And David came to Mahanaim, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him;
25 Hoonoho aku la o Abesaloma ia Amasa ma ko Ioaba wahi maluna o ka poe kaua: a o ua Amasa la, he keiki ia na kekahi kanaka no ka Iseraela, o Itera ka inoa, ka mea i komo aku iloko io Abigala la ke kaikamahine a Nahasa, a o ke kaikaina o Zeruia o ka makuwahine o Ioaba.
and Amasa hath Absalom set instead of Joab over the host, and Amasa [is] a man's son whose name is Ithra the Israelite who hath gone in unto Abigail, daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, mother of Joab;
26 Hoomoana iho la ka Iseraela me Abesaloma ma ka aina o Gileada.
and Israel encampeth with Absalom [in] the land of Gilead.
27 A hiki aku la o Davida i Mahanaima, ilaila o Sobi ke keiki a Nahasa no Raba o na mamo a Amona, a o Makira ke keiki a Amiela no Lodebara, a o Barezilai no Rogelima ma Gileada,
And it cometh to pass at the coming in of David to Mahanaim, that Shobi, son of Nahash, from Rabbah of the Bene-Ammon, and Machir son of Ammiel, from Lo-Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite, from Rogelim,
28 Lawe mai la lakou i na moe a me na kiaha a me na ipu lepo a me na hua palaoa a me ka bale a me ka palaoa, a me ka palaoa papaa, a me ka papapa maka, a me ka pi, a me ka papapa papaa;
couch, and basin, and earthen vessel, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and roasted [corn], and beans, and lentiles, and roasted [pulse],
29 A me ka meli, a me ka bata, a mo na hipa, a me ka waiubipipaa, na Davida a na ka poe kanaka me ia e ai ai: no ka mea, olelo ae la lakou, Ua pololi na kanaka, ua luhi a me ka makewai ma ka waonahele.
and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, have brought nigh for David, and for the people who [are] with him to eat, for they said, 'Thy people [is] hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.'
