II Samuela 20
1 I LAILA kekahi kanaka hewa, o Seba kona inoa, ke keiki a Bikeri, he mamo a Beniamina: puhi aku la ia i ka pu, i aku la, Aole a kakou kuleana iloko o Davida, aole hoi he hooilina iloko o ke keiki a Iese: e hoi no kela kanaka keia kanaka a pau i kona halelewa, e ka Iseraela.
And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
2 Alaila pii aku la na kanaka a pau o Iseraela mai o Davida aku la, a hahai aku la lakou ia Seba ke keiki a Bikeri: aka, hoopili aku la na kanaka o ka Iuda i ko lakou alii, mai Ioredane a hiki i Ierusalema.
So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah joined to their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
3 Hele mai la o Davida i kona hale i Ierusalema: a lawe ae la ke alii i ua mau haiawahine la he umi ana i waiho ai e kiai i ka hale, a hahao ae la ia lakou iloko o ka halepaahao, a hanai aku la ia lakou; aka, aole ia i komo aku iloko io lakou la. Pela lakou i paa ai e noho kane ole ana, a hiki i ko lakou la make.
And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
4 Alaila i aku la ke alii ia Amasa, E houluulu oe no'u i na kanaka o ka Iuda i na la ekolu, a e hoi hou mai maanei.
Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be you here present.
5 Alaila hele aku la o Amasa e houluulu i ka Iuda: aka, ua lohi kela a hala ka manawa i haawiia nona.
So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
6 I aku la o Davida ia Abisai, Ano, e oi aku ke ino a Seba ke keiki a Bikeri e hana mai ai ia kakou mamua o ka Abesaloma: e lawe oe i na kauwa a kou haku, a e alualu aku ia ia, o loaa ia ia na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa, a hoopakele ia ia iho mai o kakou aku.
And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take you your lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.
7 A hele aku la mamuli ona na kanaka o Ioaba, me ka poe Kereti a me ka poe Peleti, a me ka poe kanaka ikaika a pau: puka aku la lakou iwaho o Ierusalema e alualu ia Seba ke keiki a Bikeri.
And there went out after him Joab’s men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
8 Aia hiki aku lakou ma ka pohaku nui i Gibeoua, hele aku la o Amasa imua o lakou. A o ka aahu a Ioaba i aahu iho ai, ua kakuaia ia maluna ona, a maluna iho ke kaei; ua paaia ma kona puhaka ka pahikaua maloko o kona wahi: a i kona hele ana aku, haule iho la ia mea.
When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab’s garment that he had put on was girded to him, and on it a girdle with a sword fastened on his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
9 I aku la o Ioaba ia Amasa, E ola ana oe, e kuu hoahanau? Lalau aku la Ioaba ia Amasa ma ka umiumi me ka lima akau e honi ia ia.
And Joab said to Amasa, Are you in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
10 Aole i manao o Amasa i ka pahikaua ma ka lima o Ioaba: hou aku la kela ia ia me ia mea ma ka lima o ka iwiaoao, a poha mai la kona naau ma ka honua, aole ia i hou hou aku ia ia; a make aku la ia. A alualu aku la o Ioaba a me Abisai kona hoahanau ia Seba ke keiki a Bikeri.
But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
11 Ku mai la kekahi kanaka o Ioaba ma ona la, i mai la, O ka mea makemake ia Ioaba, a o ka mea no Davida, mamuli ia o Ioaba.
And one of Joab’s men stood by him, and said, He that favors Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.
12 Oni ae la o Amasa maloko o ke koko, iwaena o ke kuamoo. A ike ae la ua kanaka la, ua ku malie iho la na kanaka a pau, lawe aku la oia ia Amasa mawaho o ke kuamoo i ke kula, a hohola iho la i ke kapa maluna ona, i kona ike ana ua ku malie kela kanaka keia kanaka i hele mai ma ona la.
And Amasa wallowed in blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth on him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
13 A laweia'ku ia mawaho o ke kuamoo, alaila hele aku la na kanaka a pau mahope o Ioaba, e alualu ia Seba ke keiki a Bikeri.
When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
14 Hele aku la ia ma na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, a hiki i Abela a i Betemaka; a i ka poe Beerota a pau: a ua houluuluia e la hoi lakou a hahai aku la mahope ona.
And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.
15 Hiki aku la lakou, a hoopuni ae la ia ia iloko o Abela-betemaka, hooahu aku la lakou i ka puu e ku pono i ke kulanakauhale, e ku ana ia ma ka pa mawaho: kui aku la ko Ioaba poe kanaka a pau i ka pa pohaku e hoohiolo ia mea malalo.
And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
16 Alaila, hea mai la kekahi wahine naauao mailoko mai o ke kulanakauhale, E hoolohe mai, e hoolohe mai; ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e i aku ia Ioaba, E hele mai a kokoke, i olelo aku ai au me oe.
Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, to Joab, Come near here, that I may speak with you.
17 A hiki aku la ia a kokoke io na la, i mai la ka wahine, O Ioaba anei oe? I aku la ia, Owau no. Alaila i mai la kela, E hoolohe mai oe i ka olelo a kau kauwawahine. I aku la ia, Ke lohe nei au.
And when he was come near to her, the woman said, Are you Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said to him, Hear the words of your handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
18 Olelo mai la kela, i mai la, I olelo io mai la lakou mamua, i ka i ana, He oiaio no e ninau mai ana lakou ma Abela, a pela e hooki ai.
Then she spoke, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.
19 Owau no ke noho malie a me ka malama iloko o ka Iseraela: ke manao nei oe e luku mai i kekahi kulanakauhale a me ka makuwahine iloko o ka Iseraela. No ke aha la oe e hoopau ai i ka aina a Iehova i hooili mai ai?
I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: you seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why will you swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
20 Olelo aku la o Ioaba, i aku la, Aole loa, aole loa ia'u ia ke hoopau iho, aole loa ke luku aku.
And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
21 Aole pela ka mea; aka, he wahi kanaka no ka mauna o Eperaima, o Seba ke keiki a Bikeri ka inoa, ua hookiekie ae ia i kona lima e ku e i ke alii ia Davida: e haawi mai ia ia wale no, a e hoi hou aku no wau mai ke kulanakauhale aku. I mai la ka wahine ia Ioaba, Eia hoi, e kiolaia'ku kona poo i ou la mawaho o ka pa.
The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall.
22 Alaila hele aku la ua wahine la i na kanaka a pau ma kona akamai. A oki iho la lakou i ke poo o Seba ke keiki a Bikeri, a kiola aku la iwaho io Ioaba la. Hookani aku la ia i ka pu, a hoi aku la lakou, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona halelewa iho. A hoi aku la o Ioaba i Ierusalema a i ke alii.
Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
23 A o Ioaba, maluna no ia o ka poe kaua a pau no ka Iseraela: a o Benaia ke keiki a Iehoida, maluna no ia o ka poe Kereti a me ka poe Peleti.
Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
24 A o Adorama, maluna no ia o ke auhau: a o lehosapata ke keiki a Ahiluda ke kakaumooolelo:
And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
25 A o Seva ke kakauolelo: a o Zadoka me Abiatara na kahuna:
And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:
26 A o Ira hoi no Iaira, kekahi alii ia no Davida.
And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
