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. Thus saith David the son of Jesse, and thus saith the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet singer 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 through 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.
[Thus] said the God of Israel, concerning me spoke the Rock of Israel, That [I should be] ruler over men, be righteous, ruling in the fear of God;
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 as in the light of morning the sun riseth, in a morning without clouds, with more than the brightness [reflected] by rain on the herbs that spring from 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.
Truly is not so my house with God? since he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, firm in all, and sure? yea, will he not cause to grow all my salvation, and all my desire?
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.
But the godless are all of them as waving thorns, which cannot be taken in 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.
But the man that will touch them must protect his hand with iron and the staff of a spear: and they will be utterly burnt with fire in the dwelling.
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 whom David had: Yosheb-bashebeth, the Thachkemonite, the chief among the captains, —the same as 'Adino the 'Eznite, —because of eight hundred slain at one time.
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 was El'azar the son of Dodo, the son of Achochi, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had withdrawn themselves;
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 then arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand did cleave unto the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory on that day; and the people returned after 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 was Shammah the son of Age the Hararite. The Philistines were gathered together into a troop, and there was a piece of ground full of lentiles; and the people had fled from 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.
But he placed himself in the midst of the ground, and delivered it, and smote the Philistines: and the Lord wrought a great victory.
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 these three, the chiefs of the thirty, went down, and came to David at harvest-time unto the cave of 'Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
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 an outpost of the Philistines was then in Beth-lechem.
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, Oh that one would bring me water to drink out of the well at Beth-lechem, which is by the gate!
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 camp of the Philistines; and drew water out of the well of Beth-lechem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; but he would not drink thereof, and poured it out unto 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, Far be it from me, O Lord, that I should do this: [is not this] the blood of the men that went at the risk of their life? and thus he would not drink it. These things did the 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 Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruyah, was the chief of these three; and he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain, and had a name among the 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.
Although he was the most honored of the three, wherefore he became their captain: he nevertheless attained not unto the three [in prowess].
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 Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', the son of a valiant man, great in many acts of Kabzeel; he it was that smote the two lion-like heroes of Moab; he also went down and slew a lion in the midst of a pit on a day when it snowed;
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.
And he slew an Egyptian, a man of good appearance; and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and he snatched the spear out of 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 Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', 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 more honored than the thirty; but he attained not to these three. And David appointed him in his private council.
