2 Samuel 3
1 Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David; and David waxed stronger and stronger, but the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.
HE kaua loa no iwaena o ka ohana a Saula a me ka ohana a Davida; aka, mahuahua ae la ko Davida ikaika, a emi iho la ka ohana a Saula a nawaliwali.
2 And unto David were sons born in Hebron; and his first-born was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
Ua hanau na keikikane na Davida ma Heberona: o Amenona kana hanau mua na Ahinoama no Iezereela;
3 and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
A o kana lua, o Kileaba na Abigaila ka wahine a Nabala no Karemela: a o ke kolu, o Abesaloma ke keikikane a Maaka a ke kaikamahine a Talemai ke alii o Gesura;
4 and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
A o ka ha, e Adoniia ke keikikaue a Hagita; a o ka lima, o Sepatia ke keikikane a Abitala:
5 and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
A o ke ono, o Itereama na Egela ka wahine a Davida. Ua hanau keia poe na Davida ma Heberona.
6 And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner showed himself strong in the house of Saul.
A i ka wa kaua iwaena o ka ohana a Saula a me ka ohana a Davida, hooikaika loa iho la o Abenera no ka ohana a Saula.
7 Now Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah; and Ish-bosheth said to Abner: 'Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine?'
A ia kekahi haiawahine a Saula, o Rizepa kona inoa, kekahi kaikamahine a Aia. I aku la o Iseboseta ia Abenera, No ke aha la oe i komo aku ai iloko i ka haiawahine a kuu makuakane?
8 Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said: 'Am I a dog's head that belongeth to Judah? This day do I show kindness unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, and yet thou chargest me this day with a fault concerning this woman.
Alaila, huhu loa o Abenera i na huaolelo a Iseboseta, i aku la, He poo ilio no anei au nana i lokomaikai aku i ka ohana a Saula a kou makuakane, i kona poe hoahanau, a me kona poe makamaka, ma ke ku ee ana i ka Iuda i keia manawa, aole hoi au i haawi aku ia oe maloko o ka lima o Davida, i hoahewa mai ai oe ia'u i neia la no ua wahine nei?
9 God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as the LORD hath sworn to David, I do not even so to him;
Pela ke Akua e hana mai ai ia Abenera a nui aku, ke hana ole aku au ia Davida e like me ka Iehova i hoohiki aku ai ia ia;
10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba.'
E lawe i ke aupuni mai ka ohana a Saula aku, a e kukulu i ka nohoalii o Davida maluna o ka Iseraela a o ka Iuda, mai Dana a hiki i Beeresaba.
11 And he could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him.
Aole no i hiki ia ia ke pane olelo hou aku ia Abenera; no ka mea, ua makau kela ia ia.
12 And Abner sent messengers to David straightway, saying: 'Whose is the land?' saying also: 'Make thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring over all Israel unto thee.'
A hoouna mai la o Abenera i na elele io Davida la, i mai la, Nowai anei ka aina? wahi ana, E hookuikahi kaua, eia hoi me oe no kuu lima, e hoohuli aku ai i ka Iseraela a pau i ou la.
13 And he said: 'Well; I will make a league with thee; but one thing I require of thee, that is, thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.'
I aku la kela, Pono; e hookuikahi no kaua: hookahi hoi a'u mea e kanoha aku nei ia oe, wahi ana, Aole oe e ike mai i kuu maka, ke lawe ole mai oe mamua ia Mikala ke kaikamahine a Saula, i kou hele ana mai e ike i kuu maka.
14 And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth Saul's son, saying: 'Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.'
Hoouna aku la o Davida i na elele io Iseboseta la ke keiki a Saula, i aku la, E haawi mai oe i ka'u wahine ia Mikala, a'u i kuai ai na'u i na omaka o na Pilisetia he haneri.
15 And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Paltiel the son of Laish.
Hoouna aku la o Iseboseta, a lawe ae la ia ia mai ke kane aku o Paletiela ke keiki a Laisa.
16 And her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him: 'Go, return'; and he returned.
Hele pu mai la kana kane me ia e uwe ana mahope iho ona, a hiki i Bahurima. Alaila, i aku o Abenera ia ia, O hoi. A hoi aku la ia.
17 And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying: 'In times past ye sought for David to be king over you;
Kamailio aku la o Abenera me na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, i aku la, Ua imi aku oukou ia Davida i na manawa mamua i alii maluna o oukou.
18 now then do it; for the LORD hath spoken of David, saying: By the hand of My servant David I will save My people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.'
Eia no ka manawa: no ka mea, ua olelo mai o Iehova no Davida, i ka i ana mai, Ma ka lima o ka'u kauwa o Davida e hoola au i ko'u poe kanaka i ka Iseraela, mailoko mai o ka lima o ka poe Pilisetia, a mailoko mai hoi o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi a pau.
19 And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin; and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house of Benjamin.
Olelo aku la hoi o Abenera maloko o na pepeiao o ka Beniamina: hele aku la hoi o Abenera e hai aku maloko o na pepeiao o Davida ma Heberona i na mea a pau a ka Iseraela i makemake ai, a me na mea a pau i makemake ai ka Beniamina.
20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast.
A hiki aku la o Abenera i Heberona io Davida la, oia me na kanaka he iwakalua. Hana iho la o Davida i ahaaina na Abenera a na ka poe kanaka me ia.
21 And Abner said unto David: 'I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy soul desireth.' And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
I aku la o Abenera ia Davida, E ku ae au a hele aku e houluulu i ka Iseraela a pau i kuu haku i ke alii, i hana lakou i berita me oe, i nohoalii hoi oe maluna o na mea a pau a kou naau e makemake nei. Hoihoi aku la o Davida ia Abenera, a hele aku la ia me ka maluhia.
22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from a foray, and brought in a great spoil with them; but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace.
Aia hoi, hele mai la na kanaka o Davida me Ioaba mai ke kaua mai, a lawe pu mai la me lakou i ka waiwai pio he nui: aole hoi o Abenera me Davida i Heberona; no ka mea, ua hoihoi kela ia ia, a ua hele aku ia me ka maluhia.
23 When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying: 'Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.'
A hiki mai la o Ioaba a me ka poe kaua a pau pu me ia, hai mai la lakou ia Ioaba, i ka i ana mai, I hele mai nei o Abenera ke keiki a Nera i ke alii, a ua hoihoi aku kela ia ia, a ua hala aku ia me ka maluhia.
24 Then Joab came to the king, and said: 'What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone?
Alaila, hele aku la o Ioaba i ke alii, i aku la, Heaha kau i hana'i? Aia hoi, ua hele mai nei o Abenera; heaha hoi kau i hoihoi aku ai ia ia, a ua hala loa kela?
25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest.'
Ua ike oe ia Abenera ke keiki a Nera, i hele mai nei ia e hoopunipuni ia oe, a e ike i kou hele ana aku a me kou hoi ana mai, a o ike hoi i ua mea a pau au e hana nei.
26 And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from Bor-sirah; but David knew it not.
A hoi mai o Ioaba iwaho, mai o Davida mai, kena aku la ia i na kanaka e kii ia Abenera, na lakou ia i hoihoi mai, mai ka punawai mai o Sira: aole hoi i ike o Davida.
27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there in the groin, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
A hoi hou mai la o Abenera i Heberona, kono aku la o Ioaba ia ia iwaena o ka ipuka e olelo malie aku ia ia, ilaila kela i hou aku ai ia ia malalo iho o ka lima o ka iwiaoao, a make iho la ia, no ke koko o Asahela o kona kaikaina.
28 And afterward when David heard it, he said: 'I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner;
Mahope iho, a lohe ae la o Davida, i aku la ia, Imua o Iehova ua hala ole mau loa au a me kuu aupuni i ke koko o Abenera ke keiki a Nera.
29 let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth by the sword, or that lacketh bread.'
E kau aku no ia maluna o ke poo o Ioaba, maluna hoi o ka ohana a pau o kona makuakane; aole hoi e nelo kekahi o ka ohana a Ioaba i ka mai puha, a i ka lepera paha, a i ke kanikookoo paha, a i ka haule paha maluna o ka pahikaua, a i ka ai ole paha.
30 So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
Pela o Ioaba me Abisai kona kaikaina i pepehi ai ia Abenera; no ka mea, ua pepehi iho oia i ko laua kaikaina ia Asahela i ke kaua ana ma Gibeona.
31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him: 'Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and wail before Abner.' And king David followed the bier.
Olelo aku la o Davida ia Ioaba a me ka poe a pau me ia, E haehae iho i ko oukou kapa, a e kaei oukou i ke kapa inoino, a e kanikau imua o Abenera. A o ke alii o Davida i hele mahope o ka manele.
32 And they buried Abner in Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
Kanu iho la lakou ia Abenera ma Heberona: hookiekie ae la ke alii i kona leo iluna ma ka hale kupapau o Abenera, a uwe iho la na kanaka a pau.
33 And the king lamented for Abner, and said: Should Abner die as a churl dieth?
Kanikau iho la ke alii maluna o Abenera, i aku la, Ua make no anei o Abenera e like me ka make o ka naaupo?
34 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters; as a man falleth before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fall. And all the people wept again over him.
Aole i nakiikiiia kou mau lima, aole hoi i paa na wawae i ka hao; me ka haule ana o kekahi imua o na kanaka hewa, pela no oe i haule iho ai. Uwe hou iho la na kanaka a pau maluna ona.
35 And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying: 'God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or aught else, till the sun be down.'
A hele mai na kanaka a pau e koi aku ia Davida e ai i ka ai oiai ka la: hoohiki aku la Davida, i aku la, Pela ke Aku a e hana mai ai ia'u a nui aku, ke hoao iho au i ka berena a i kekahi mea e ae, a napoo ka la.
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; whatsoever the king did, pleased all the people.
Nana aku la na kanaka a pau, a ua oluolu lakou ia mea: no ka mea, ma na mea a pau a ke alii i hana'i, ua oluolu na kanaka a pau ilaila.
37 So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
No ka mea, ua ike na kanaka a pau, a me ka Iseraela a pau ia la, aole no ke alii ka pepehi ia Abenera ke keiki a Nera.
38 And the king said unto his servants: 'Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
Olelo aku la ke alii i kana poe kauwa, Aole anei oukou i ike, he kanaka nui i haule i neia la iwaena o ka Iseraela.
39 And I am this day weak, and just anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me; the LORD reward the evildoer according to his wickedness.'
Ano hoi, ua nawaliwali au i poniia i alii; a o keia mau kanaka na keiki a Zeruia, ua oi aku ko laua koikoi i ko'u: e hoouku mai no nae o Iehova i ka mea hana ino e like me koua hewa.
