II Samuela 3

1 HE kaua loa no iwaena o ka ohana a Saula a me ka ohana a Davida; aka, mahuahua ae la ko Davida ikaika, a emi iho la ka ohana a Saula a nawaliwali.

And the war was long between the house of Saul and the house of David; but David became continually stronger, and the house of Saul became continually weaker.

2 Ua hanau na keikikane na Davida ma Heberona: o Amenona kana hanau mua na Ahinoama no Iezereela;

And to David were sons born in Hebron: his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jizreelitess;

3 A o kana lua, o Kileaba na Abigaila ka wahine a Nabala no Karemela: a o ke kolu, o Abesaloma ke keikikane a Maaka a ke kaikamahine a Talemai ke alii o Gesura;

and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maachah, daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;

4 A o ka ha, e Adoniia ke keikikaue a Hagita; a o ka lima, o Sepatia ke keikikane a Abitala:

and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;

5 A o ke ono, o Itereama na Egela ka wahine a Davida. Ua hanau keia poe na Davida ma Heberona.

and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.

6 A i ka wa kaua iwaena o ka ohana a Saula a me ka ohana a Davida, hooikaika loa iho la o Abenera no ka ohana a Saula.

And it came to pass while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul.

7 A ia kekahi haiawahine a Saula, o Rizepa kona inoa, kekahi kaikamahine a Aia. I aku la o Iseboseta ia Abenera, No ke aha la oe i komo aku ai iloko i ka haiawahine a kuu makuakane?

And Saul had a concubine whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And [Ishbosheth] said to Abner, Why hast thou gone in to my father's concubine?

8 Alaila, huhu loa o Abenera i na huaolelo a Iseboseta, i aku la, He poo ilio no anei au nana i lokomaikai aku i ka ohana a Saula a kou makuakane, i kona poe hoahanau, a me kona poe makamaka, ma ke ku ee ana i ka Iuda i keia manawa, aole hoi au i haawi aku ia oe maloko o ka lima o Davida, i hoahewa mai ai oe ia'u i neia la no ua wahine nei?

Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ishbosheth, and said, Am I a dog's head, I who against Judah do shew kindness this day to the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou reproachest me this day with the fault of this woman?

9 Pela ke Akua e hana mai ai ia Abenera a nui aku, ke hana ole aku au ia Davida e like me ka Iehova i hoohiki aku ai ia ia;

So do God to Abner, and more also, if, as Jehovah has sworn to David, I do not so to him;

10 E lawe i ke aupuni mai ka ohana a Saula aku, a e kukulu i ka nohoalii o Davida maluna o ka Iseraela a o ka Iuda, mai Dana a hiki i Beeresaba.

to translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba!

11 Aole no i hiki ia ia ke pane olelo hou aku ia Abenera; no ka mea, ua makau kela ia ia.

And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him.

12 A hoouna mai la o Abenera i na elele io Davida la, i mai la, Nowai anei ka aina? wahi ana, E hookuikahi kaua, eia hoi me oe no kuu lima, e hoohuli aku ai i ka Iseraela a pau i ou la.

And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying [also], Make thy covenant with me, and behold, my hand shall be with thee, to turn all Israel to thee.

13 I aku la kela, Pono; e hookuikahi no kaua: hookahi hoi a'u mea e kanoha aku nei ia oe, wahi ana, Aole oe e ike mai i kuu maka, ke lawe ole mai oe mamua ia Mikala ke kaikamahine a Saula, i kou hele ana mai e ike i kuu maka.

And he said, Well, I will make a covenant with thee; only I require one thing of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.

14 Hoouna aku la o Davida i na elele io Iseboseta la ke keiki a Saula, i aku la, E haawi mai oe i ka'u wahine ia Mikala, a'u i kuai ai na'u i na omaka o na Pilisetia he haneri.

And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.

15 Hoouna aku la o Iseboseta, a lawe ae la ia ia mai ke kane aku o Paletiela ke keiki a Laisa.

And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from [her] husband, from Phaltiel the son of Laish.

16 Hele pu mai la kana kane me ia e uwe ana mahope iho ona, a hiki i Bahurima. Alaila, i aku o Abenera ia ia, O hoi. A hoi aku la ia.

And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner to him, Go, return. And he returned.

17 Kamailio aku la o Abenera me na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, i aku la, Ua imi aku oukou ia Davida i na manawa mamua i alii maluna o oukou.

Now Abner had communicated with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David aforetime to be king over you;

18 Eia no ka manawa: no ka mea, ua olelo mai o Iehova no Davida, i ka i ana mai, Ma ka lima o ka'u kauwa o Davida e hoola au i ko'u poe kanaka i ka Iseraela, mailoko mai o ka lima o ka poe Pilisetia, a mailoko mai hoi o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi a pau.

and now do [it], for Jehovah has spoken of David, saying, By my servant David will I save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.

19 Olelo aku la hoi o Abenera maloko o na pepeiao o ka Beniamina: hele aku la hoi o Abenera e hai aku maloko o na pepeiao o Davida ma Heberona i na mea a pau a ka Iseraela i makemake ai, a me na mea a pau i makemake ai ka Beniamina.

And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin; and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin.

20 A hiki aku la o Abenera i Heberona io Davida la, oia me na kanaka he iwakalua. Hana iho la o Davida i ahaaina na Abenera a na ka poe kanaka me ia.

So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a repast.

21 I aku la o Abenera ia Davida, E ku ae au a hele aku e houluulu i ka Iseraela a pau i kuu haku i ke alii, i hana lakou i berita me oe, i nohoalii hoi oe maluna o na mea a pau a kou naau e makemake nei. Hoihoi aku la o Davida ia Abenera, a hele aku la ia me ka maluhia.

And Abner said to David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy heart desires. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.

22 Aia hoi, hele mai la na kanaka o Davida me Ioaba mai ke kaua mai, a lawe pu mai la me lakou i ka waiwai pio he nui: aole hoi o Abenera me Davida i Heberona; no ka mea, ua hoihoi kela ia ia, a ua hele aku ia me ka maluhia.

And behold, the servants of David and Joab came from an expedition, and brought in a great spoil with them; but Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.

23 A hiki mai la o Ioaba a me ka poe kaua a pau pu me ia, hai mai la lakou ia Ioaba, i ka i ana mai, I hele mai nei o Abenera ke keiki a Nera i ke alii, a ua hoihoi aku kela ia ia, a ua hala aku ia me ka maluhia.

And Joab and all the host that was with him came; and they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away; and he is gone in peace.

24 Alaila, hele aku la o Ioaba i ke alii, i aku la, Heaha kau i hana'i? Aia hoi, ua hele mai nei o Abenera; heaha hoi kau i hoihoi aku ai ia ia, a ua hala loa kela?

Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came to thee; why is it [that] thou hast sent him away, and he is gone?

25 Ua ike oe ia Abenera ke keiki a Nera, i hele mai nei ia e hoopunipuni ia oe, a e ike i kou hele ana aku a me kou hoi ana mai, a o ike hoi i ua mea a pau au e hana nei.

Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest.

26 A hoi mai o Ioaba iwaho, mai o Davida mai, kena aku la ia i na kanaka e kii ia Abenera, na lakou ia i hoihoi mai, mai ka punawai mai o Sira: aole hoi i ike o Davida.

And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him again from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.

27 A hoi hou mai la o Abenera i Heberona, kono aku la o Ioaba ia ia iwaena o ka ipuka e olelo malie aku ia ia, ilaila kela i hou aku ai ia ia malalo iho o ka lima o ka iwiaoao, a make iho la ia, no ke koko o Asahela o kona kaikaina.

And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him secretly, and smote him there in the belly, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.

28 Mahope iho, a lohe ae la o Davida, i aku la ia, Imua o Iehova ua hala ole mau loa au a me kuu aupuni i ke koko o Abenera ke keiki a Nera.

And afterwards David heard [it], and he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before Jehovah for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:

29 E kau aku no ia maluna o ke poo o Ioaba, maluna hoi o ka ohana a pau o kona makuakane; aole hoi e nelo kekahi o ka ohana a Ioaba i ka mai puha, a i ka lepera paha, a i ke kanikookoo paha, a i ka haule paha maluna o ka pahikaua, a i ka ai ole paha.

let it fall on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that has an issue, or that is a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that lacks bread!

30 Pela o Ioaba me Abisai kona kaikaina i pepehi ai ia Abenera; no ka mea, ua pepehi iho oia i ko laua kaikaina ia Asahela i ke kaua ana ma Gibeona.

So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.

31 Olelo aku la o Davida ia Ioaba a me ka poe a pau me ia, E haehae iho i ko oukou kapa, a e kaei oukou i ke kapa inoino, a e kanikau imua o Abenera. A o ke alii o Davida i hele mahope o ka manele.

And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David followed the bier.

32 Kanu iho la lakou ia Abenera ma Heberona: hookiekie ae la ke alii i kona leo iluna ma ka hale kupapau o Abenera, a uwe iho la na kanaka a pau.

And they buried Abner in Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.

33 Kanikau iho la ke alii maluna o Abenera, i aku la, Ua make no anei o Abenera e like me ka make o ka naaupo?

And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Should Abner die as a fool dieth?

34 Aole i nakiikiiia kou mau lima, aole hoi i paa na wawae i ka hao; me ka haule ana o kekahi imua o na kanaka hewa, pela no oe i haule iho ai. Uwe hou iho la na kanaka a pau maluna ona.

Thy hands were not bound, Nor thy feet put into fetters; As a man falleth before wicked men, Fellest thou! And all the people wept again over him.

35 A hele mai na kanaka a pau e koi aku ia Davida e ai i ka ai oiai ka la: hoohiki aku la Davida, i aku la, Pela ke Aku a e hana mai ai ia'u a nui aku, ke hoao iho au i ka berena a i kekahi mea e ae, a napoo ka la.

And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread or aught else till the sun be down!

36 Nana aku la na kanaka a pau, a ua oluolu lakou ia mea: no ka mea, ma na mea a pau a ke alii i hana'i, ua oluolu na kanaka a pau ilaila.

And all the people remarked it, and it pleased them; as whatever the king did pleased all the people.

37 No ka mea, ua ike na kanaka a pau, a me ka Iseraela a pau ia la, aole no ke alii ka pepehi ia Abenera ke keiki a Nera.

And all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to put Abner the son of Ner to death.

38 Olelo aku la ke alii i kana poe kauwa, Aole anei oukou i ike, he kanaka nui i haule i neia la iwaena o ka Iseraela.

And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?

39 Ano hoi, ua nawaliwali au i poniia i alii; a o keia mau kanaka na keiki a Zeruia, ua oi aku ko laua koikoi i ko'u: e hoouku mai no nae o Iehova i ka mea hana ino e like me koua hewa.

And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too hard for me: Jehovah reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness!
