II Samuela 4
1 A LOHE ae la ke keiki a Saula, ua make o Abenera ma Heberona, palupalu iho la kona mau lima, a pihoihoi ka Iseraela a pau.
And when Sauls sonne heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, then his handes were feeble, and all Israel was afraide,
2 Aia na kanaka elua no ke keiki a Saula, he mau lunakoa; o Baana ka inoa o kekahi, a o Rekaba ka inoa o kekahi; na keiki laua a Rimona no Beerota no na mamo a Beniamina; (no ka mea, ua helu pu ia o Beerota me ka Beniamina;
And Sauls sonne had two men that were captaines of bandes: the one called Baanah, and the other called Rechab, the sonnes of Rimmon a Beerothite of the children of Beniamin. (for Beeroth was reckened to Beniamin,
3 Holo aku la na kanaka o Beerota i Gitaima, a ua noho malihini lakou ilaila, a hiki i neia manawa.)
Because the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and soiourned there, vnto this day).
4 A o Ionatana ke keiki a Saula, nana no kekahi keikikane, ua oopa ma kona mau wawae. Elima ona mau makahiki i ka wa i hiki aku ai ka olelo no Saula a no Ionatana mai Iezereela aku, a kaikai aku la kona kahu ia ia, a holo aku la: a i kona wikiwiki ana e holo aku, haule iho la kela a oopa iho la. O Mepiboseta kona inoa.
And Ionathan Sauls sonne had a sonne that was lame on his feete: he was fiue yere olde when the tydings came of Saul and Ionathan out of Israel: then his nourse tooke him, and fledde away. And as she made haste to flee, the childe fell, and beganne to halte, and his name was Mephibosheth.
5 Hele aku la o Rekaba a me Baana na keiki a Rimona no Beerota, a hoi mai la laua i ka hale o Iseboseta i ka manawa i wela ai ka la, a e moe ana ia ma ka moe i ke awakea.
And the sonnes of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah went and came in the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth (who slept on a bed at noone)
6 Hele aku la laua ilaila iwaena konu o ka hale, e like me ke kii i ka hua palaoa; a hou aku la laua ia ia malalo iho o ka lima o ka iwiaoao: a pakele aku la o Rekaba a me Baana kona hoahanau.
And beholde, Rechab and Baanah his brother came into the middes of the house as they would haue wheate, and they smote him vnder the fift ryb, and fled.
7 No ka mea, i ko laua hele ana aku iloko o ka hale, e moe ana ia maluna o kona moe iloko o kona keena moe, hou aku la laua ia ia, a make ia; a oki iho la laua i kona poo, a holoholo aku la ma ka papu a ao ka po.
For when they came into the house, he slept on his bed in his bed chamber, and they smote him, and slewe him, and beheaded him, and tooke his head, and gate them away through the plaine all the night.
8 Lawe mai la laua i ke poo o Iseboseta io Davida la i Heberona, i mai la i ke alii, Eia ke poo o Iseboseta ke keiki a Saula, o kou enemi, nana i imi mai i kou ola. I keia la, ua hoopai mai o Iehova maluna o Saula a me kana hua, no kuu haku no ke alii.
And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth vnto Dauid to Hebron, and saide to the King, Beholde the head of Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne thine enemie, who sought after thy life: and the Lord hath auenged my lorde the King this day of Saul, and of his seede.
9 Olelo aku la Davida ia Rekaba a me Baana kona hoahanau, na keiki a Rimona no Beerota, i aku la ia laua, Ma ko Iehova ola ana, nana i hoopakele i kuu oia i ka popilikia a pau,
Then Dauid answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sonnes of Rimmon the Beerothite, and saide vnto them, As the Lord liueth, who hath deliuered my soule out of al aduersity,
10 A hai mai la kekahi ia'u, i ka i ana mai, Aia ua make o Saula, e manao ana ia he olelo maikai kana ia'u, lalau aku la au ia ia, a pepehi iho la ia ia ma Zikelaga: oia iho la ka uku a'u i haawi aku ai ia ia no kana olelo ana:
When one tolde me, and sayde that Saul was dead, (thinking to haue brought good tydings) I tooke him and slewe him in Ziklag, who thought that I woulde haue giuen him a rewarde for his tidings:
11 Oia aku no, a i pepehi iho na kanaka hewa i ke kanaka pono maloko o kona hale maluna o Kona moe iho; aole anei au e hoopai koke aku i kona koko ma ko olua mau lima, a e kaili aku ia olua mai ka honua aku?
How much more, when wicked men haue slaine a righteous person in his owne house, and vpon his bed? shall I not now therfore require his blood at your hand, and take you from the earth?
12 Kena aku la Davida i na kanaka opiopio ona, a pepehi aku la lakou ia laua, a oki iho la i ko laua mau lima a me na wawae, a kau aku la ia laua maluna ma ka punawai o Heberona. A lawe ae la lakou i ke poo o Iseboseta, a kanu iho la iloko o ka hale kupapau o Abenera ma Heberona.
Then Dauid commanded his yong men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feete, and hanged them vp ouer the poole in Hebron: but they tooke the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
