II Samuela 23
1 EIA na olelo hope a Davida. I aku la o Davida ke keiki a Iese, ke kanaka i hookiekieia'e iluna, ka mea poni a ke Akua o Iakoba, a me ka mea haku mele maikai no ka Iseraela,
And these [are] the last words of David. Faithful [is] David the son of Jessae, and faithful the man whom the Lord raised up to be the anointed of the God of Jacob, and beautiful [are] the psalms of Israel.
2 Ua olelo aku ka Uhane o Iehova ma o'u nei, a ma ko'u alelo kana olelo.
The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and his word [was] upon my tongue.
3 I mai la ke Akua no ka Iseraela, olelo mai la ka Pohaku no ka Iseraela ia'u, O ka mea e alii ana maluna o kanaka, e hoopono oia, e alii ana me ka makau i ke Akua.
The God of Israel says, A watchman out of Israel spoke to me a parable: I said among men, How will ye strengthen the fear of the anointed?
4 A e like ia me ka malamalama o ke kakahiaka i ka puka ana o ka la, me ke kakahiaka i uhi ole ia e ke ao; a e like hoi me ka mauu opiopio mailoko mai o ka honua, e kupu ana ma ka malamalama aiai mahope iho o ka ua.
And in the morning light of God, let the sun arise in the morning, from the light of which the Lord passed on, and as it were from the rain of the tender grass upon the earth.
5 Ina aole pela ka'u ohana imua o ke Akua; ua hookau mai hoi oia i berita mau loa me au, i hoonohonoho pono ia ma na mea a pau, a i malamaia: no ka mea, oia kuu mea e ola'i a pau, a me kuu makemake a pau, ke ole paha ia e hooulu ae ia.
For my house [is] not so with the Mighty One: for he has made an everlasting covenant with me, ready, guarded at every time; for all my salvation and all my desire [is], that the wicked should not flourish.
6 Aka, e pau no ka poe Beliala i ke kiolaia'ku e like me ka nahele ooi; no ka mea, aole e hiki ke hoopaia'ku e na lima.
All these [are] as a thorn thrust forth, for they shall not be taken with the hand,
7 A o ke kanaka nana lakou e hoopa aku, e pono ia ia ke uhiia i na mea hao, a me ke au o ka ihe, a e pau lakou i ka puhiia maloko o ke ahi ma ia wahi no.
and a man shall not labour among them; and [one shall have] that which is fully armed with iron, and the staff of a spear, an he shall burn them with fire, and they shall be burnt in their shame.
8 Eia na inoa o na kanaka ikaika no Davida; o ko Takemoni ka i noho ma ka noho, ka luna o na mea akolu, oia ka mea i hoaka i ka ihe i ku e i na haneri kanaka ewalu, a pepehi aku la i ka manawa hookahi.
These [are] the names of the mighty men of David: Jebosthe the Chananite is a captain of the third [part]: Adinon the Asonite, he drew his sword against eight hundred soldiers at once.
9 Mahope iho ona o Eleazara ke keiki a Dodo ke keiki a Ahohi, kekahi o na kanaka ikaika ekolu me Davida, ia lakou i ku e i ka poe Pilisetia i kahi i hoakoakoaia'e lakou e kaua, a na naholo aku na kanaka o ka Iseraela.
And after him Eleanan the son of his uncle, son of Dudi who was among the three mighty men with David; and when he defied the Philistines they were gathered there to war, and the men of Israel went up.
10 Ku ae la ia, a pepehi aku la i ko Pilisetia, a luhi iho la kona lima, a pipili iho la kona lima i ka pahikaua: na Iehova i haawi mai i ka lanakila nui ia la, a hoi hou mai la na kanaka mahope ona a lawe waiwai pio wale no.
He arose an smote the Philistines, until his hand was weary, and his hand clave to the sword: and the Lord wrought a great salvation in that day, and the people rested behind him only to strip [the slain].
11 Mahope iho ona o Sama ke keiki a Agee no ka aina mauna. Ua akoakoa ae ko Pilisetia i poe kaua hookahi ma kahi e paapu ana na papapa: a naholo aku la na kanaka mai ko Pilisetia aku.
And after him Samaia the son of Asa the Arachite: and the Philistines were gathered to Theria; and there was there a portion of ground full of lentiles; and the people fled before the Philistines.
12 Aka, ku ae la oia mawaena konu o ia wahi, a malama aku ia, a pepehi iho la i ko Pilisetia: a haawi mai la o Iehova i ka lanakila nui.
And he stood firm in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and smote the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance.
13 Iho aku la na mea ekolu o ka poe luna he kanakolu, a hiki aku la io Davida la i ke ana o Adulama i ka wa e ohi ai i ka ai, a hoomoana iho la ko Pilisetia ma ke awawa i Repaima.
And three out of the thirty went down, and came to Cason to David, to the cave of Odollam; and [there was] an army of the Philistines, and they encamped in the valley of Raphain.
14 Ilaila o Davida iloko o ka wahi paa, a ma Betelehema ka pakaua o ke Pilisetia ia manawa.
And David [was] then in the strong hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.
15 A makewai iho la o Davida, i iho la, Nani ino kuu makemake e haawi mai kekahi i wai e inu no ka luawai ma Betelehema ma ka ipuka!
And David longed, and said, Who will give me water to drink out of the well that is in Bethleem by the gate? now the band of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.
16 Wahi ae la ua mau kanaka ikaika la ekolu i ke Pilisetia, a huki ae la i ka wai mai loko ae o ka lua ma Betelehema ma ka ipuka, lalau iho la a lawe ae la ia io Davida la: aka, aole ia i manao e inu, a ninini aku no ia mea no Iehova.
And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well that was in Bethleem in the gate: and they took it, and brought it to David, and he would not drink it, but poured it out before the Lord.
17 I aku la ia, E Iehova, aole loa au e hana ia mea; aole anei keia ke koko o na kanaka, o ka poe i hele a kokoke i ka make? Nolaila aole ia i make inu ia. Pela i hana'i ia mau kanaka ikaika ekolu.
And he said, O Lord, forbid that I should do this, that I should drink of the blood of the men who went at [the risk of] their lives: and he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.
18 A o Abisai ke kaikaina o Ioaba, ke keiki a Zeruia, oia ka luna o kekahi poe ekolu. Hoaka ae la ia i kana ihe e ku e i na kanaka ekolu haneri, a pepehi iho la ia lakou: a loaa ia ia ka inoa iwaena o ua mau kanaka ikaika la ekolu.
And Abessa the brother of Joab the son of Saruia, he [was] chief among the three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he slew; and he had a name among three.
19 Aole anei oia ka mea koikoi loa o ka poe ekolu? nolaila oia ko lakou luna: aole hoi i hiki aku kona e like me ko ka poe mua ekolu.
Of those three [he was] most honourable, and he became a chief over them, but he reached not to the [first] three.
20 O Benaia hoi ke keiki a Iehoiada, ke keiki a kekahi kanaka ikaika, no Kabezeela, he nui kana hana kupanaha: pepehi iho la ia i na kanaka liona elua o ka Moaba: iho iho la hoi ia iloko o ka lua, a pepehi iho la i ka liona i ka manawa hau.
And Banaeas the son of Jodae, he was abundant in [mighty] deeds, from Cabeseel, and he smote the two sons of Ariel of Moab: and he went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
21 Pepehi iho la hoi oia i kekahi kanaka no Aigupita, he mea helehelena maikai: he ihe no ma ka lima o ke kanaka no Aigupita, a hele aku la kela io na la me ke kookoo, a kaili ae la i ka ihe mai loko ae o ka lima o ke kanaka Aigupita, a pepehi iho la ia ia me kana ihe.
He smote an Egyptian, a wonderful man, and in the hand of the Egyptian [was] a spear as the side of a ladder; and he went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear from the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
22 O na mea keia a Benaia a ke keiki a Iehoiada i hana'i, a loaa ia ia ka inoa iwaena o ka poe kanaka ikaika ekolu.
These things did Banaeas the son of Jodae, and he had a name among the three mighty men.
23 Ua oi aku kona koikoi i ko ka poe kanakolu, aole hoi i hiki aku kona i ko ka poe mua ekolu. A hoonoho aku la o Davida ia ia i kuhina nona.
He was honourable among the [second] three, but he reached not to the [first] three: and David made him his reporter. And these [are] the names of King David's mighty men.
