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 [the leaders of] all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you do.
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.
In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli soldiers [in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
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 while Yahweh was listening, all those leaders of the people of Israel declared there at Hebron [that David would be their king]. And David made a sacred agreement with them. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people.
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 30 years old when he became their king. He ruled them for 40 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 ruled over the tribe of Judah for seven and a half years, and in Jerusalem he ruled over all the people of Judah and Israel for 33 years.
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.
[One day] King David and his soldiers went to Jerusalem to fight against the Jebus people-group who lived there. The people there thought that David’s army would not be able to capture the city, so they sent a message to David, saying “Your army will never be able to get inside our city! Even the blind and crippled people will be able to chase you away!”
7 Aka, hoopio ae la o Davida i ka pakaua o Ziona, oia hoi ke kulanakauhale o Davida.
But David’s army captured the fortress on Zion [Hill], [and later it was known as] David’s City.
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, David said [to his soldiers], “Those who want to get rid of the Jebus people-group should go through the water tunnel [to enter the city]. Then they can attack those people whom I [SYN] detest—[and we will find out if any] blind and crippled people [will be able to stop them]!” That is why people say, “Blind and crippled people cannot enter Yahweh’s temple.”
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.
[After] David [and his soldiers captured] the city with its strong walls around it, he lived there, and they named it ‘David’s City’. David [and his soldiers] built the city around the fortress, starting where the [land was (filled in/terraces) on the east side of the hill].
10 Mahuahua ae la o Davida a nui loa, me ia pu no hoi o Iehova ke Akua o na kaua.
David continued to become more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping 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.
[One day] Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent ambassadors/messengers to David [to talk about making agreements between their countries]. Hiram agreed to provide cedar trees [to make lumber], and also that he would send carpenters and masons, to build 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.
His doing that caused David to realize that Yahweh truly had appointed him to be the king of Israel, and that Yahweh was going to cause his kingdom to prosper, because Yahweh loved the Israeli people, whom [he had chosen to] belong to him.
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 David moved from Hebron to Jerusalem, he took more slave women to be his second-class wives, and he also married other women. [All of those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters.
14 Eia na inoa o ka poe i hanau nana ma Ierusalema, o Samua, o Sobaba, o Natana, a o Solomona,
The names of the sons who were born in Jerusalem were 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 Philistia people heard that David had been appointed to be the king of Israel, their army went up [toward Jerusalem] to try to capture David. But David heard that they were coming, so he went down to another fortified place.
18 Hele mai la hoi ka poe Pilisetia, a hoomoana aku la ma ke awawa o Repaima.
The [army of] Philistia arrived at Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and spread all over the valley.
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.
David asked Yahweh, “Should [my men and] I attack the Philistia army? Will you enable us to defeat them [IDM]?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, attack them, because I will certainly enable your army to defeat them. [IDM]”
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 [and his army] went to [where the Philistia army was], and there they defeated them. Then David said, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies like a flood.” [SIM] So that place is called ‘Lord of Bursting-through’.
21 Haalele lakou i na kii o lakou ilaila, a lawe aku la o Davida a me na kanaka ona ia mau mea.
The Philistia men left their idols there; so David and his soldiers took them away.
22 Pii hou mai la ka poe Pilisetia, a hoomoana iho la ma ke awawa o Repaima.
Then the Philistia [army] returned to Rephaim Valley and spread all over the valley.
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 again David asked Yahweh [if his army should attack them]. But Yahweh replied, “Do not attack them [from here]. Tell your men to go around them and attack them from the other side, near 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.
When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [an army] marching, attack them, because I will have gone ahead of you [to enable your army] to defeat their army.”
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 what Yahweh told him to do, and his [army] defeated the Philistia army from Geba [city] all the way [west] to Gezer [city].
