II Samuela 5

1 A LAILA hele mai la na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela io Davida la i Heberona, a olelo mai la lakou, Eia hoi, hookahi no ko kakou iwi a me ka io.

Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.

2 I ka wa mamua no hoi, ia Saula i alii ai maluna o kakou, o oe no ka mea nana i alakai aku a i alakai mai i ka Iseraela; i mai la hoi o Iehova ia oe, E hanai oe i ko'u poe kanaka i ka Iseraela, a e lilo oe i luna no ka Iseraela.

Even in times past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And to you the LORD said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”

3 Pela na lunakahiko a pau o ka Iseraela i hele mai ai i ke alii ma Heberona; a hoopaa iho la ke alii o Davida i berita me lakou ma Heberona imua o Iehova: a poui iho la lakou ia Davida i alii no ka Iseraela.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where King David made with them a covenant before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel.

4 He kanakolu na makahiki o Davida, i kona wa i lilo ai i alii, a nohoalii iho la ia i na makahiki he kanaha.

David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.

5 Ehiku mau makahiki a me na malama keu eono i nohoalii iho ai oia ma Heberona maluna o ka Iuda; a ma Ierusalema i nohoalii iho ai oia maluna o ka Iseraela a pau a me ka Iuda i na makahiki he kanakolu a me kumamakolu.

In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

6 Hele aku la ke alii a me na kauaka ona i Ierusalema i ka poe Iebusi, na kamaaina o ia wahi. Olelo mai la lakou ia Davida, i ka i ana mai, Ina aole oe e lawe aku i ka poe makapo a me ka poe oopa, aole no oe e komo mai ia nei: e manao ana lakou aole e komo o Davida ilaila.

Now the king and his men marched to Jerusalem against the Jebusites who inhabited the land. The Jebusites said to David: “You will never get in here. Even the blind and lame can repel you.” For they thought, “David cannot get in here.”

7 Aka, hoopio ae la o Davida i ka pakaua o Ziona, oia hoi ke kulanakauhale o Davida.

Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).

8 I aku la Davida ia la, O na mea pepehi i ka Iebusi, e hele lakou i ke kahawai e luku i ka poe oopa a me ka poe makapo, i ka poe i inainaia e ko Davida naau; no ka mea, ua olelo na mea makapo a me na mea oopa, Aole ia e hiki maloko o ka hale.

On that day he said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites must use the water shaft to reach the lame and blind who are despised by David.” That is why it is said, “The blind and the lame will never enter the palace.”

9 Noho iho la o Davida iloko o ka pakaua, a kapa iho la ia wahi, O ke kulanakauhale o Davida: a kukulu iho la o Davida i na hale ma Milo mawaho a maloko.

So David took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built it up all the way around, from the supporting terraces inward.

10 Mahuahua ae la o Davida a nui loa, me ia pu no hoi o Iehova ke Akua o na kaua.

And David became greater and greater, for the LORD God of Hosts was with him.

11 A o Hirama ke alii o Turo, hoouna mai la ia i na elele io Davida la, me na laau kedera, a me na kamana, a me na kalaipohaku; a hana iho la lakou i hale no Davida.

Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David.

12 Ike pono iho la o Davida, ua hookupaa iho no o Iehova ia ia i alii maluna o ka Iseraela, a ua hookiekie ae ia i kona aupuni no kona poe kanaka no ka Iseraela.

And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.

13 Lawe hou ae la o Davida i na haiawahine a me na wahine hoi nana no Ierusalema, mahope iho o kona hele ana mai mai Heberona mai: a hanau mai la na keikikane hou a me na kaikamahine hou na Davida.

After he had arrived from Hebron, David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.

14 Eia na inoa o ka poe i hanau nana ma Ierusalema, o Samua, o Sobaba, o Natana, a o Solomona,

These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

15 O Ibehana hoi me Elisua, o Nepega a me Iapia,

Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,

16 O Elisama, o Eliada, a me Elipaleta.

Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.

17 A lohe ae la ka poe Pilisetia, ua poni iho lakou ia Davida i alii maluna o ka Iseraela; pii nui mai la na Pilisetia a pau e imi ia Davida; a lohe ae la Davida, a iho iho la ia ma ka pakaua.

When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went down to the stronghold.

18 Hele mai la hoi ka poe Pilisetia, a hoomoana aku la ma ke awawa o Repaima.

Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

19 Ninau aku la o Davida ia Iehova, i aku la, E pii aku anei au i ka poe Pilisetia? E hoolilo mai hoi oe ia lakou i kuu lima? I mai la o Iehova ia Davida, E pii aku oe, no ka mea, e oiaio no e noolilo au i ka poe Pilisetia i kou lima.

So David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hand.”

20 Hele aku la o Davida i Baala-perazima, a luku aku la o Davida ia lakou malaila, i iho la ia, Ua poha aku o Iehova maluna o ko'u poe enemi, e like me ka poha ana o ka wai. Nolaila, kapa aku la ia i ka inoa o ia wahi, o Baala-perazima.

So David went to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, the LORD has burst out against my enemies before me.” So he called that place Baal-perazim.

21 Haalele lakou i na kii o lakou ilaila, a lawe aku la o Davida a me na kanaka ona ia mau mea.

There the Philistines abandoned their idols, and David and his men carried them away.

22 Pii hou mai la ka poe Pilisetia, a hoomoana iho la ma ke awawa o Repaima.

Once again the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

23 A ninau aku la o Davida ia Iehova, i mai la kela, Aole oe e pii pono aku; aka, e hoopuni ae oe mahope mai o lakou, i kahi e kupono ana i na laau silika.

So David inquired of the LORD, who answered, “Do not march straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.

24 A lohe oe i ka halulu o ka hele ana ma na welau o na laau silika, alaila oe e lalelale: no ka mea, alaila e hele aku ana o Iehova imua ou e pepehi aku i na Pilisetia.

As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move quickly, because this will mean that the LORD has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”

25 Hana aku la o Davida e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia ia; a luku aku la ia i na Pilisetia mai Geba aku a hiki aku oe i Gazera.

So David did as the LORD had commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
