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.
Now when Ishbaal, Saul's son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was troubled.
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 Ishbaal, Saul's son, had two men who were captains of bands; the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the people of Benjamin (for Beeroth was regarded as belonging to the people of Benjamin;
3 Holo aku la na kanaka o Beerota i Gitaima, a ua noho malihini lakou ilaila, a hiki i neia manawa.)
and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until 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.
Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son whose feet were crippled. He was five years old when the news came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel, and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened as she was hurrying to get away that he fell and was injured. And his name was Mippibaal.
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.
The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbaal, as he took his rest at noon.
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 look, the doorkeeper of the house had been sifting wheat, and she became drowsy and fell asleep. And Rechab and his brother Baanah slipped by.
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.
And they went into the house where he was lying on his bed in his bedchamber. And they struck him and killed him, and beheaded him. And they took his head and went by the way of the Arabah all 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.
They brought the head of Ishbaal to David at Hebron, and said to the king, "Look, the head of Ishbaal, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life. The LORD has avenged my lord the king this day of Saul and his descendants."
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,
David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
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 someone told me, 'Look, Saul is dead,' thinking to have brought good news, I took hold of him, and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
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 have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away 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.
David commanded his young men, and they killed them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbaal, and buried it in the grave of Abner son of Ner.
