II Samuela 1
1 MAHOPE iho o ka make ana o Saula, a ua hoi hou mai o Davida mai ka luku ana i ka Amaleka, a noho iho o Davida elua la i Zikelaga;
And so it was, after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the smiting of the Amalekites, and David had abode in Ziklag two days,
2 A i ke kolu o ka la, aia hoi, he kanaka i hele mai, mai ke kahua kaua, mai Saula mai, me kona kapa i haehaeia, a me ka lepo maluna o kona poo; a hiki aku la ia io Davida la, moe iho la ia ma ka honua, a hoomaikai aku la.
yea so it was, on the third day, that lo! a man came out of the camp, from Saul, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head, —and so it was, when he came in unto David, that he fell to the earth, and did homage.
3 I aku la o Davida ia ia, Mai hea mai oe i hele mai nei? I mai la kela ia ia, Ua pakele mai nei au mai ke kahua kaua mai o ka Iseraela.
And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel, am I escaped.
4 I aku la o Davida ia ia, Pehea kela mea? Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai ia'u. I mai la kela, Ua hee aku la na kanaka mai ke kaua aku, a ua haule na kanaka he nui loa a make: ua make hoi o Saula a me kana keikikane o Ionatana.
And David said unto him—How turned out the matter? tell me, I pray thee. And he said—The people have fled from the battle, yea moreover, many, of the people have fallen, and died, Yea moreover, Saul, and Jonathan his son, are dead.
5 I aku la o Davida i ke kanaka opiopio nana i hai mai ia ia, Pehea kau ike ana, ua make o Saula a me Ionatana kana keiki?
Then said David unto the young man who was telling him, —How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
6 I mai la ua kanaka opiopio la nana i hai mai ia ia, A i ko'u hiki wale ana aku maluna o ka puu o Gileboa, aia hoi, e kalele ana o Saula maluna iho o kona ihe; a hahai ikaika mai la na halekaa a me na hoohololio mahope ona.
And the young man who was telling him said, It, so happened, that I was on Mount Gilboa, when lo! Saul, leaning upon his spear, and lo! the chariots and horsemen, hotly pursued him;
7 Alawa ae la ia i hope, ike mai la ia'u, a kahea mai la ia'u: i aku la au, Eia no wau.
so he turned behind him, and saw me, —and cried out unto me, and I said, Behold me!
8 Ninau mai kela ia'u, Owai oe? Olelo aku la au, He Amaleka wau.
And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I said unto him, An Amalekite, am I.
9 I hou mai la ia ia'u, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ku oe maluna iho o'u, a e pepehi mai ia'u; no ka mea, ke kau mai nei ka poniuniu maluna iho o'u, a ke koe nei ke ola okoa iloko o'u.
And he said unto me, I pray thee, take thy stand by me, and put me to death, for the cramp hath seized me, —even for as long as my life shall be in me.
10 A ku iho la au maluna ona, a pepehi iho la ia ia; no ka mea, ua ike pono au, aole ia e ola mahope iho o kona haule ana: lawe ae la no au i ka papale alii maluna o kona poo, a me ke kupee ma kona lima, a ua halihali mai nei au ia mau mea i kuu haku.
So I took my stand by him, and put him to death, for I perceived that he could not survive his fall, —so I took the crown that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them in unto my lord, here.
11 Alaila, lalau iho la o Davida i kona kapa, a haehae iho la, a pela no hoi na kanaka a pau me ia.
Then David took hold of his clothes, and rent them, —yea moreover, [so did] all the men who were with him.
12 Kanikau aku la lakou me ka uwe aku, a hookeai iho la lakou a hiki i ke ahiahi, no Saula a no Ionatana kana keiki, a no ka poe kanaka o Iehova, a no ka ohana a Iseraela; no ka mea, ua haule lakou i ka pahikaua.
And they lamented aloud, and wept, and fasted until the evening, —for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Yahweh, and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
13 Ninau aku la o Davida i ke kanaka opiopio nana i hai mai ia ia, Nohea oe? I mai la kela, He keiki au na kekahi malihini, he Amaleka.
And David said unto the young man who was telling him, Whence art thou? And he said, Son of a sojourner—an Amalekite, am I.
14 I aku la o Davida ia ia, Heaha kou mea i makau ole ai i ka o aku i kou lima e pepehi i ka Iehova mea i poniia?
And David said unto him, —How wast thou not afraid to thrust forth thy hand, to destroy the Anointed of Yahweh?
15 Kahea aku la o Davida i kekahi kanaka opiopio, i aku la, E neenee aku oe, a e lele aku maluna ona. Pepehi aku la kela ia ia, a make iho la ia.
So David called one of the young men, and said, —Go near—fall upon him. And he smote him, that he died.
16 I aku la o Davida ia ia, Maluna o kou poo iho ke koko ou: no ka mea, ua ahewa mai la kou waha iho ia oe, i ka i ana, Ua pepehi no au i ka Iehova mea i poniia.
And David said unto him, Thy blood, be upon thine own head, —for, thine own mouth, hath testified against thee, saying, I myself, put to death the Anointed of Yahweh.
17 Kanikau aku la o Davida i keia kanikau ana ia Saula a ia Ionatana kana keiki.
Then chanted David this dirge, —over Saul and over Jonathan his son;
18 (Kauoha aku la hoi ia e ao i na mamo a Iuda i ke kakaka: aia hoi ua kakauia maloko o ka buke a Iasera.)
and he thought to teach the sons of Judah [the song of] the Bow, —lo! it is written in the Book of the Upright: —
19 O ka nani o ka Iseraela, ua pepehiia oia maluna o na wahi kiekie ou; Kai ka haule ana o ka poe ikaika?
The beauty of Israel! on thy high plumes—slain! How have fallen—the mighty!
20 Mai hai aku ia mea ma Gata, Mai kala aku hoi ia ma na alanui o Asekelona; O hauoli na kaikamahine a ka poe Pilisetia, O haanui hoi na kaikamahine a ka poe okipoepoe ole ia.
Do not tell it in Gath, Do not publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, —lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the Uncircumcised triumph.
21 E na puu o Gileboa, aole make hau, Aole hoi he ua maluna iho o oukou; Aole hoi na mahinaai o na hua mua: Ilaila kahi i hooleiia'ku ai ka palekaua o ka mea ikaika, Ka palekaua o Saula i poni ole ia i ka aila.
Ye mountains in Gilboa! Be there neither dew nor rain upon you, nor fields of offerings, —for, there, were cast away, the shields of the mighty, The shield of Saul, unanointed with oil.
22 Mai ke koko ae o ka poe i make, A mai ka momona ae o ka poe ikaika, Aole i hoi ihope ke kakaka o Ionatana, Aole hoi i hoi nele mai ka pahikaua a Saula.
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan ne’er drew back, —and, the sword of Saul, ne’er returned, empty.
23 Ua aloha no, a ua oluolu hoi o Saula a o Ionatana i ko laua ola ana, A i ko laua make ana, aole laua i hookaawaleia. Ua oi aku ko laua mama i ko na aeto, A me ko laua ikaika i ko na liona.
Saul and Jonathan, delightfully loving in their lives, even, in their death, were not divided, —Beyond eagles, were they swift, beyond lions, were they strong!
24 E na kaikamahine o ka Iseraela, e kanikau aku oukou ia Saula, Nana oukou i hoaahu aku i ke kapa ula, a me na mea nani: Nana i hoonani i ko oukou kapa i ke gula.
Ye daughters of Israel! For Saul, weep ye, —who clothed you in crimson, [decked] with lovely things, who hung ornaments of gold on your apparel!
25 Kai ka haule ana o ka poe ikaika iwaena o ke kaua ana! E Ionatana, ua pepehiia oe maluna o na wahi kiekie ou.
How have fallen the mighty, in the midst of the battle! Jonathan, on thy high places, slain!
26 Ua ehaeha loa au nou, e kuu hoahanau, e Ionatana: He oluolu loa oe ia'u, he kupanaha kou aloha ia'u, E oi mai ana i ke aloha o na wahine.
I am distressed for thee, my brother, Jonathan! Delightful to me, exceedingly, —Wonderful, was thy love to me, passing the love of women.
27 Kai ka haule ana o ka poe ikaika, A me ka pau ana o na mea kaua!
How have fallen the mighty, and perished the weapons of war!
