2 Samuel 14
1 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was toward Absalom.
IKE ae la o Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia, ua hele aku ka naau o ke alii io Abesaloma la.
2 Joab sent to Tekoa and brought a wise woman from there, and said to her, “Please act like a mourner, and put on mourning clothing, please, and don’t anoint yourself with oil; but be as a woman who has mourned a long time for the dead.
Hoouna aku la o Ioaba i Tekoa, a lawe mai la i kekahi wahine akamai mailaila mai, i aku la ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoolike oe ia oe iho me ka mea kanikau, a e aahu oe i ke kapa makena, aole hoi e kahinu i ka aila: e like oe me ka wahine i kanikau loa no ka mea i make.
3 Go in to the king and speak like this to him.” So Joab put the words in her mouth.
A e hele aku i ke alii, a penei e olelo aku ai. Alaila, hai aku la o Ioaba i na huaolelo no kona waha.
4 When the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, showed respect, and said, “Help, O king!”
A i ka wa i olelo aku ai ka wahine o Tekoa i ke alii, moe iho la ia ilalo kona alo, hoomaikai aku la i ke alii, i aku la, E hoola mai, e ke alii.
5 The king said to her, “What ails you?” She answered, “Truly I am a widow, and my husband is dead.
I mai la ke alii ia ia, Heaha kau? I aku la kela, He wahinekanemake au, ua make kuu kane.
6 Your servant had two sons; and they both fought together in the field, and there was no one to part them, but the one struck the other and killed him.
He mau keikikane elua a kau kauwawahine, hakaka ae la laua ma ke kula, aohe mea hoi nana e uwao, a hahau aku la kekahi i kona hoa, a make iho la ia.
7 Behold, the whole family has risen against your servant, and they say, ‘Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he killed, and so destroy the heir also.’ Thus they would quench my coal which is left, and would leave to my husband neither name nor remainder on the surface of the earth.”
Aia hoi, ua ku e mai ka ohana a pau i kau kauwawahine; i mai lakou, E haawi mai oe i ka mea nana i hahau i kona hoahanau, i pepehi aku makou ia ia, no ke ola o kona hoahanau ana i pepehi aku ai; a e hoopau no hoi makou i ka hooilina: pela no lakou e kinai ai i kuu lanahu ahi i koe, aole no hoi lakou e waiho no ka'u kane i inoa, aole hoi koena maluna o ka honua.
8 The king said to the woman, “Go to your house, and I will give a command concerning you.”
I mai la ke alii i ua wahine la, O hoi oe i kou hale, a e kauoha aku hoi au nou.
9 The woman of Tekoa said to the king, “My lord, O king, may the iniquity be on me, and on my father’s house; and may the king and his throne be guiltless.”
Olelo aku la ka wahine o Tekoa i ke alii, E kuu haku, e ke alii, maluna iho o'u ka hala, a maluna hoi o ka ohana a ko'u makua: a e hala ole ke alii a me kona nohoalil
10 The king said, “Whoever says anything to you, bring him to me, and he will not bother you any more.”
I mai la ke alii, O ka mea olelo mai ia oe, e kai mai ia ia io'u nei, aole hoi ia e hoopa hou aku ia oe.
11 Then she said, “Please let the king remember Yahweh your God, that the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son.” He said, “As Yahweh lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the earth.”
Alaila, i aku la kela, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoomanao ke alii ia Iehova i kou Akua, i ole e luku hou aku ka mea hoopai koko, o make ka'u keiki I mai la ke alii, Ma ko Iehova ola ana, aole o haule ka lauoho hookahi o kau keiki ma ka honua.
12 Then the woman said, “Please let your servant speak a word to my lord the king.” He said, “Say on.”
Alaila i aku la ua wahine la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe i kau kauwawahine, e hai aku ia i hookahi huaolelo i kuu haku i ke alii. I mai la kela, E hai mai
13 The woman said, “Why then have you devised such a thing against the people of God? For in speaking this word the king is as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring home again his banished one.
I aku la ka wahine, No ke aha la hoi oe i manao ia mea ku e i ko ke Akua poe kanaka? no ka mea, ua olelo mai ke alii ia mea, me he mea hewa la, i ka hoihoi ole mai o ke alii ia nei i ka mea ana i hookuke aku ai.
14 For we must die, and are like water spilled on the ground, which can’t be gathered up again; neither does God take away life, but devises means, that he who is banished not be an outcast from him.
No ka mea, he oiaio no e make kakou, a ua like me ka wai i haniniia ma ka honua, aole e hiki ke ukuhi hou ia: aole no ke Akua i lawe aku i kona ola, aka, ua noonoo kela i ka mea e lilo loa ole ai ka mea ana i hookuke aku ai.
15 Now therefore, seeing that I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid. Your servant said, ‘I will now speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.’
Nolaula hoi, i kuu hiki ana mai e olelo aku i kuu haku i ke alii ma ia mea, no ka hoomakau ana mai a na kanaka ia'u: i iho la kau kauwawahine, E olelo aku no wau i ke alii; malia paha e hana mai ke alii e like me ka noi ana aku a kana kauwawahine.
16 For the king will hear, to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
No ka mea, e lohe mai no ke alii, i hoopakele oia i kana kauwawahine i ka lima o ke kanaka nana e hoolei aku ia maua pu me kuu keiki iwaho o ka noho ana o ke Akua.
17 Then your servant said, ‘Please let the word of my lord the king bring rest; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad. May Yahweh, your God, be with you.’”
Alaila, i iho la kau kauwawahine, e lilo no ka olelo a kuu haku a ke alii i mea hoomaha: no ka mea, ua like kun haku ke alii me ka anela o ke Akua, i ka nana i ka pono a me ka hewa: nolaila, me oe pu auanei o Iehova o kou Akua.
18 Then the king answered the woman, “Please don’t hide anything from me that I ask you.” The woman said, “Let my lord the king now speak.”
Alaila, olelo mai la ke alii, i mai la i ua wahine la, Mai huna oe ia'u, ea, i ka mea a'u e ninau aku nei ia oe. I aku la ka wahine, E olelo mai kuu haku ke alii ano.
19 The king said, “Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?” The woman answered, “As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab urged me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your servant.
I mai la ke alii, Aole anei ka lima o Ioaba pu me oe i neia mea? Olelo aku la ua wahine la, i aku la, Oiaio no, e kuu haku, e ke alii, aole e hiki i kekahi ke kapae aku ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema o kekahi mea a kuu haku a ke alii i olelo mai nei: o kau kauwa o Ioaba, oia ka i kauoha mai ia'u, a hahao mai la ia mau huaolelo a pau maloko o ka waha o kau kauwawahine.
20 Your servant Joab has done this thing to change the face of the matter. My lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.”
Pela i hana iho ai o loaba i mea e loaa'i keia ano o ka olelo: a ua naauao ko'u haku, e like me ka naauao o ka anela o ke Akua, ma ka ike i na mea a pau o ka honua nei.
21 The king said to Joab, “Behold now, I have granted this thing. Go therefore, and bring the young man Absalom back.”
I aku la ke alii ia Ioaba, aia hoi, ua hana iho nei au i keia mea, e kii aku oe, a e hoihoi mai i ke kanaka opiopio ia Abesaloma.
22 Joab fell to the ground on his face, showed respect, and blessed the king. Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.”
Moe iho la o Ioaba ma ka honua ilalo kona alo, kulou iho la, a hoomaikai aku la i ke alii. I aku la o Ioaba, Ke ike nei au i keia la, ua loaa ia'u ke aloha imua o kou maka, e kuu haku, e ke alii, no ka mea, ua hooko mai ke alii i ka mea a kana kauwa i noi aku ai.
23 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
Ku ae la o Ioaba, a hele aku la i Gesura, a lawe mai la ia Abesaloma i Ierusalema.
24 The king said, “Let him return to his own house, but let him not see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house, and didn’t see the king’s face.
I aku la ke alii, E kipa ae ia i kona hale iho, aole ia e ike mai i kuu maka. A hoi ae la o Abesaloma i kona hale, aole i ike aku i na maka o ke alii.
25 Now in all Israel there was no one to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty. From the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no defect in him.
A iloko o ka Iseraela a pau, aole he kanaka e ae i mahalo nui ia e like me Abesaloma no kona maikai: mai ka poli wawae ona a hiki iluna i ka piko o kona poo, aohe ona kina iki.
26 When he cut the hair of his head (now it was at every year’s end that he cut it; because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king’s weight.
Aia ako ia i kona poo, (no ka mea, i ka pau ana o kela makahiki, keia makahiki, ako ae la ia i ke oho; no ko kaumaha o ke oho maluna ona, nolaila ia i ako ia mea; ) kaupaona iho la ia i ke oho o kona poo, elua haneri sekela, e like me Ka ke alii hookau ana.
27 Three sons were born to Absalom, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar. She was a woman with a beautiful face.
Ua hanau na Abesaloma ekolu keikikane, a hookahi kaikamahine, o Tamara kona inoa; he wahine maikai hoi ma kona helehelena.
28 Absalom lived two full years in Jerusalem, and he didn’t see the king’s face.
Pela i noho ai o Abesaloma ma Ierusalema, elua makahiki okoa, aole hoi ia i ike aku i na maka o ke alii.
29 Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. Then he sent again a second time, but he would not come.
Nolaila, kena aku la o Abesaloma e kii ia loaba, e hoouna aku ia ia e hele i ke alii; aole nae ia i hele mai io na la; a hoouna hou aku la ia, o ka lua ia o ke kii ana, aole hoi ia i hele mai.
30 Therefore he said to his servants, “Behold, Joab’s field is near mine, and he has barley there. Go and set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.
Alaila i aku la ia i kana poe kauwa, Aia ka mahinaai a loaba e kokoke ana i kuu wahi, a he bale kana ilaila; ou haele oukou e puhi i ke ahi. A puhi aku la na kauwa a Abesaloma i ua mahinaai la i ke ahi.
31 Then Joab arose and came to Absalom to his house, and said to him, “Why have your servants set my field on fire?”
Alaila ku ae la o loaba, a hele mai io Abesaloma la i kona hale, i mai la ia ia, E heaha ka mea i puhi aku ai kau poe kauwa i kuu mahinaai i ke ahi.
32 Absalom answered Joab, “Behold, I sent to you, saying, ‘Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, “Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still. Now therefore, let me see the king’s face; and if there is iniquity in me, let him kill me.”’”
Olelo aku la o Abesaloma ia loaba, Aia hoi, ua hoouna aku la au iou la, me ka i ana aku, E hele mai ia nei, i hoouna aku ai au ia oe i ke alii, e i aku ia ia, Heaha ka mea i hoi mai nei au mai Gesura mai? E aho no wau e noho malaila a hiki i neia wa: ano hoi, e ae mai oe e ike aku au i na maka o ke alii; a ina he hewa iloko o'u, e pepehi mai keia ia'u.
33 So Joab came to the king and told him; and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Absalom.
Alaila hele aku la o loaba i ke alii, a hai aku la ia ia: a hea mai la oia ia Abesaloma, a hele aku la ia i ke alii, a kulou iho la ia ma ka honua ilalo kona alo imua o ke alii; a honi mai la ke alii ia Abesaloma.
