< 1 Samuel 23 >

1 Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Ke'ilah, and they are plundering the threshing-floors.
A LAILA hai aku la lakou ia Davida, i aku la, Aia hoi, ke kaua mai nei ko Pilisetia i Keila, a hao wale lakou ma kahi hehi palaoa.
2 Thereupon David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go and smite among these Philistines? And the Lord said unto David, Go and smite among the Philistines, and deliver Ke'ilah.
No ia mea, ninau aku la o Davida ia Iehova, i aku la, E hele anei au e pepehi i keia poe o ko Pilisetia? I mai la o Iehova ia Davida, O hele a pepehi aku i ko Pilisetia, a e hoopakele i ko Keila.
3 And David's men said unto him, Behold, here in Judah are we afraid: how much more then if we should go to Ke'ilah against the battle-arrays of the Philistines?
Olelo mai na kanaka o Davida ia ia, Aia hoi, ke makau nei kakou maanei maloko o ka Iuda: aole anei he nui aku, ke hele kakou ma Keila e ku e i ka poe kaua no ko Pilisetia?
4 Then David asked yet again counsel of the Lord. And the Lord answered him and said, Arise, Go down to Ke'ilah; for I [will] deliver the Philistines into thy hand.
A ninau hou aku la o Davida ia Iehova. Olelo mai la o Iehova ia ia, i mai la, E ku ae e hele ma Keila; no ka mea, e hoolilo au i ko Pilisetia iloko o kou lima.
5 So David and his men went to Ke'ilah; and he fought with the Philistines, and lead away their cattle, and smote among them a great slaughter. So David delivered the inhabitants of Ke'ilah.
A hele aku la o Davida me kona poe kanaka ma Keila, a kaua aku i ko Pilisetia, a lawe aku i ko lakou holoholona, a pepehi aku ia lakou me ka luku nui. A hoopakele o Davida i na kanaka o Keila.
6 And it came to pass, when Ebyathar the son of Achimelech, fled over to David, to Ke'ilah, that the ephod came down with him.
A i ka holo ana o Abiatara ke keiki a Ahimeleka io Davida la i Keila, ua hele no ia me ka epoda ma kona lima.
7 And it was told to Saul that David was come to Ke'ilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.
Ua haiia ia Saula ko Davida hele ana ma Keila. I mai la o Saula, Ua hoolilo mai ke Akua ia ia iloko o kuu lima; no ka mea, ua paa ia maloko, i kona komo ana i ke kulanakauhale i paa i na ipuka a me na kaola.
8 And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Ke'ilah, to besiege David and his men.
Houluulu ae la o Saula i na kanaka a pau i ke kaua, o hele ma Keila, e hoopaa aku ia Davida a me kona poe kanaka.
9 And David understood that Saul secretly devised mischief against him; and he said to Ebyathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.
A ike iho la o Davida, ua manao ino malu mai o Saula ia ia; i aku la oia ia Abiatara ke kahuna, E lawe mai i ka epoda.
10 Then said David, O Lord, God of Israel, thy servant hath heard for certain that Saul seeketh to come to Ke'ilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
Alaila i aku la o Davida, E Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ua lohe akaka iho nei kau kauwa i ka manao ana o Saula e hele mai nei i Keila e luku i ke kulanakauhale no'u nei.
11 Will the men of Ke'ilah surrender me into his hand? will Saul come down as thy servant hath heard? O Lord, God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the Lord said, He will come down.
E haawi anei na kanaka o Keila ia'u iloko o kona lima? E iho mai anei o Saula e like me kau kauwa i lohe ai? E Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai oe i kau kauwa. I mai la o Iehova, E iho mai no.
12 Then said David, Will the men of Ke'ilah surrender me and my men into the hand of Saul! And the Lord said, They will surrender.
I aku la o Davida, E haawi anei na kanaka o Keila ia'u a me kuu poe kanaka iloko o ka lima o Saula? I mai la o Iehova, E haawi no lakou.
13 Then arose David and his men, about six hundred men, and departed out of Ke'ilah, and wandered about whithersoever they could go. And when it was told to Saul that David was escaped from Ke'ilah, he forbore to go forth.
Alaila ku ae la o Davida a me kona poe kanaka, aono haneri paha, a puka aku la iwaho o Keila, a hele aku ia i ka lakou wahi e hele ai. Ua haiia mai ia Saula ka holo ana o Davida mai Keila aku, a haalele ia i ka hele mai.
14 And David remained in the wilderness in strong-holds, and abode on the mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him all the time, but God delivered him not into his hand.
A noho iho la o Davida i ka waonahele, ma na wahi paa, a noho i ka mauna ma ka waonahele o Zipa: a imi aku la o Saula ia ia i kela la i keia la, aole ke Akua i haawi mai ia ia iloko o kona lima.
15 And David saw that Saul was gone forth to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the forest.
A ike iho la o Davida, ua hele mai o Saula e imi i kona ola: aia no o Davida ma ka waonahele a Zipa maloko o ka ululaau.
16 And Jonathan, the son of Saul, arose and went to David into the forest, and strengthened his hand in God.
Ku ae la o Ionatana ke keiki a Saula, a hele io Davida la maloko o ka ululaau, a hooikaika aku la i kona lima ma ke Akua.
17 And he said unto him, Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father will not find thee; and thou wilt be king over Israel, and I will be next unto thee; and also Saul my father knoweth this.
I aku la oia ia ia, Mai makau oe, no ka mea, aole e loaa oe i ka lima o Saula ko'u makuakane: a e lilo oe i alii maluna o ka Iseraela, a owau hoi ka lua malalo iho ou: a ua ikeia hoi ia e Saula, e ko'u makuakane.
18 And they made, both of them, a covenant before the Lord: and David remained in the forest; but Jonathan went to his house.
A hoopaa iho la laua i kuikahi imua o Iehova. Noho iho la o Davida maloko o ka ululaau, a hoi aku la o Ionatana ma kona hale.
19 Then came up the Ziphites unto Saul to Gib'ah, saying, Behold, David is hiding himself with us in the strong-holds in the forest, on the hill of Chachilah, which is on the right of the desert.
Alaila pii mai la ko Zipa io Saula la ma Gibea, i mai la, Aole anei o Davida i pee iho io makou la ma na wahi paa iloko o ka ululaau ma ka puu o Hakila, ma ka aoao hema o Iesimona?
20 And now in accordance with all the longing of thy soul, O king, to come down, come down; and our part shall be to surrender him into the king's hand.
No ia mea hoi, E ke alii, e iho mai oe, e like me ka makemake a pau o kou naau e iho mai, a na makou ia e haawi aku iloko o ka lima o ke alii.
21 And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the Lord; for ye have pity on me.
I aku la o Saula, E pomaikai oukou ia Iehova; no ka mea, ua lokomaikai mai oukou ia'u.
22 Go, I pray you, make yet more preparations, and remark and see his place where his foot may be, who hath seen him there; for I am told that he dealeth with great subtilty.
Ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e hele, e hoomakaukau hoi, a e nana a ike i kona wahi a kona wawae i hele ai, a o ka mea i ike ia ia malaila: no ka mea, ua haiia mai ia'u, ua hana maalea loa oia.
23 See therefore, and remark every one of all the lurking-places where he usually hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you; and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.
E nana hoi oukou, a ike i na wahi pee a pau ana e pee ai, a hoi hou mai io'u nei me ka oiaio, a e hele pu au me oukou; a ina e noho ana oia ma ka aina, e imi au ia ia mawaena o na tausani a pau o ka Iuda.
24 And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Ma'on, in the plain on the right of the desert.
Ku ae la lakou, a hele ma Zipa mamua o Saula: a o Davida a me kona poe kanaka aia iloko o ka waonahele o Maona i ka papu ma ka aoao hema o Iesimona.
25 And Saul and his men went to make a search. And they told it to David: wherefore he came down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Ma'on. And when Saul heard this, he pursued after David into the wilderness of Ma'on.
Hele aku la o Saula a me kona poe kanaka e imi ia ia; a hai aku lakou ia Davida, a iho mai ia i ka pohaku, a noho ma ka waonahele o Maona. A lohe o Saula, hahai aku la ia mahope o Davida ma ka waonahele o Maona.
26 And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David made haste to get away from before Saul; and Saul and his men were compassing David and his men to seize them.
A hele aku la o Saula ma keia aoao o ka mauna, aia o Davida a me kona poe kanaka ma kela aoao o ka mauna: hele koke aku la o Davida no ka makau ia Saula; no ka mea, ua hoopuni o Saula a me kona poe kanaka ia Davida a me kona poe kanaka e hopu ia lakou.
27 But a messenger came unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.
A hele mai he elele ia Saula, i mai la, E wikiwiki oe, e hoi mai; no ka mea, ua hiki mai ko Pilisetia ma ka aina.
28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela-hammachlekoth.
No ia mea, hoi aku la o Saula mai ka hahai ana ia Davida, a hele ku e aku la i ko Pilisetia: a kapa aku la lakou i ka inoa o ia wahi, o Selahamalekota.
29 And David went up from there, and dwelt in strong-holds of 'En-gedi.
Pii ae la o Davida mailaila aku, a noho iloko o na wahi paa ma Enegedi.
