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, “Look, we are your flesh and bone.
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 recent past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led the Israelite army. Yahweh said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become ruler over Israel.'”
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, and King David made a covenant with them before Yahweh. They anointed David 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 began to reign, 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.
The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. They said to David, “You will not come here except to be turned away by the blind and the lame. David cannot come here.”
7 Aka, hoopio ae la o Davida i ka pakaua o Ziona, oia hoi ke kulanakauhale o Davida.
Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold of Zion, which now 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.
At that time David said, “Those who attack the Jebusites will have to go through the water shaft to reach the 'lame and the blind' who are David's enemies.” That is why people say, “The 'blind and the lame' must not 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 lived in the stronghold and called it the city of David. He fortified around it, from the terrace toward the inside.
10 Mahuahua ae la o Davida a nui loa, me ia pu no hoi o Iehova ke Akua o na kaua.
David became very powerful because Yahweh, the 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.
Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built a house 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.
David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that he 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 David left Hebron and came to Jerusalem, he took more concubines and wives in 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 were the names of the children who were 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.
Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about it 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.
Then David asked for help from Yahweh. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to David, “Attack, for I will certainly give you victory over the Philistines.”
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 attacked at Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He commented, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies before me like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became 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.
The Philistines left their idols there, 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.
Then the Philistines came up again and spread out once more 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 sought help from Yahweh again, and Yahweh said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.
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 the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because Yahweh will have gone out before you to attack the army 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 Yahweh had commanded him. He killed Philistines from Geba all the way to Gezer.
