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 the son of Saul heareth that Abner [is] dead in Hebron, and his hands are feeble, and all Israel have been 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 two men, heads of troops, have been [to] the son of Saul, the name of the one [is] Baanah, and the name of the second Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin, for also Beeroth is reckoned to 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 flee to Gittaim, and are there sojourners unto 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 to Jonathan son of Saul [is] a son — lame; he was a son of five years at the coming in of the rumour of [the death of] Saul and Jonathan, out of Jezreel, and his nurse lifteth him up, and fleeth, and it cometh to pass in her hasting to flee, that he falleth, and becometh lame, and his name [is] 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 sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, go, and come in at the heat of the day unto the house of Ish-Bosheth, and he is lying down — the lying down of 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 thither they have come, unto the midst of the house, taking wheat, and they smite him unto the fifth [rib], and Rechab and Baanah his brother have escaped;
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.
yea, they come in to the house, and he is lying on his bed, in the inner part of his bed-chamber, and they smite him, and put him to death, and turn aside his head, and they take his head, and go the way of the plain 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 bring in the head of Ish-Bosheth unto David in Hebron, and say unto the king, 'Lo, the head of Ish-Bosheth, son of Saul, thine enemy, who sought thy life; and Jehovah doth give to my lord the king vengeance this day, of Saul and of his seed.'
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,
And David answereth Rechab and Baanah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and saith to them, 'Jehovah liveth, who hath 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 one is declaring to me, saying, Lo, Saul is dead, and he was as a bearer of tidings in his own eyes, then I take hold on him, and slay him in Ziklag, instead of my giving to him [for] the 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?
Also — when wicked men have slain the righteous man in his own house, on his bed; and now, do not I require his blood of your hand, and have taken 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.
And David commandeth the young men, and they slay them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hang [them] over the pool in Hebron, and the head of Ish-Bosheth they have taken, and bury [it] in the burying-place of Abner in Hebron.
