II Samuela 23
1 EIA na olelo hope a Davida. I aku la o Davida ke keiki a Iese, ke kanaka i hookiekieia'e iluna, ka mea poni a ke Akua o Iakoba, a me ka mea haku mele maikai no ka Iseraela,
Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, the man whom God raised up, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2 Ua olelo aku ka Uhane o Iehova ma o'u nei, a ma ko'u alelo kana olelo.
"The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
3 I mai la ke Akua no ka Iseraela, olelo mai la ka Pohaku no ka Iseraela ia'u, O ka mea e alii ana maluna o kanaka, e hoopono oia, e alii ana me ka makau i ke Akua.
The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, 'One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
4 A e like ia me ka malamalama o ke kakahiaka i ka puka ana o ka la, me ke kakahiaka i uhi ole ia e ke ao; a e like hoi me ka mauu opiopio mailoko mai o ka honua, e kupu ana ma ka malamalama aiai mahope iho o ka ua.
shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.'
5 Ina aole pela ka'u ohana imua o ke Akua; ua hookau mai hoi oia i berita mau loa me au, i hoonohonoho pono ia ma na mea a pau, a i malamaia: no ka mea, oia kuu mea e ola'i a pau, a me kuu makemake a pau, ke ole paha ia e hooulu ae ia.
Most certainly my house is not so with God, yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, for it is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he doesn't make it grow.
6 Aka, e pau no ka poe Beliala i ke kiolaia'ku e like me ka nahele ooi; no ka mea, aole e hiki ke hoopaia'ku e na lima.
But all of the ungodly shall be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can't be taken with the hand,
7 A o ke kanaka nana lakou e hoopa aku, e pono ia ia ke uhiia i na mea hao, a me ke au o ka ihe, a e pau lakou i ka puhiia maloko o ke ahi ma ia wahi no.
But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They shall be utterly burned with fire in their place."
8 Eia na inoa o na kanaka ikaika no Davida; o ko Takemoni ka i noho ma ka noho, ka luna o na mea akolu, oia ka mea i hoaka i ka ihe i ku e i na haneri kanaka ewalu, a pepehi aku la i ka manawa hookahi.
These are the names of the warriors whom David had: Jeshbaal the son of Hachmoni, leader of the Three. He wielded his spear against eight hundred whom he killed at one time.
9 Mahope iho ona o Eleazara ke keiki a Dodo ke keiki a Ahohi, kekahi o na kanaka ikaika ekolu me Davida, ia lakou i ku e i ka poe Pilisetia i kahi i hoakoakoaia'e lakou e kaua, a na naholo aku na kanaka o ka Iseraela.
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, one of the Three warriors. He was with David in Pas Dammim when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel had retreated.
10 Ku ae la ia, a pepehi aku la i ko Pilisetia, a luhi iho la kona lima, a pipili iho la kona lima i ka pahikaua: na Iehova i haawi mai i ka lanakila nui ia la, a hoi hou mai la na kanaka mahope ona a lawe waiwai pio wale no.
He arose, and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and the LORD worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take spoil.
11 Mahope iho ona o Sama ke keiki a Agee no ka aina mauna. Ua akoakoa ae ko Pilisetia i poe kaua hookahi ma kahi e paapu ana na papapa: a naholo aku la na kanaka mai ko Pilisetia aku.
After him was Shamma the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines were gathered together at Lehi, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
12 Aka, ku ae la oia mawaena konu o ia wahi, a malama aku ia, a pepehi iho la i ko Pilisetia: a haawi mai la o Iehova i ka lanakila nui.
But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD worked a great victory.
13 Iho aku la na mea ekolu o ka poe luna he kanakolu, a hiki aku la io Davida la i ke ana o Adulama i ka wa e ohi ai i ka ai, a hoomoana iho la ko Pilisetia ma ke awawa i Repaima.
And three of the Thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was camped in the Valley of Rephaim.
14 Ilaila o Davida iloko o ka wahi paa, a ma Betelehema ka pakaua o ke Pilisetia ia manawa.
David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15 A makewai iho la o Davida, i iho la, Nani ino kuu makemake e haawi mai kekahi i wai e inu no ka luawai ma Betelehema ma ka ipuka!
And David had a craving and said, "Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate."
16 Wahi ae la ua mau kanaka ikaika la ekolu i ke Pilisetia, a huki ae la i ka wai mai loko ae o ka lua ma Betelehema ma ka ipuka, lalau iho la a lawe ae la ia io Davida la: aka, aole ia i manao e inu, a ninini aku no ia mea no Iehova.
The Three warriors broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD.
17 I aku la ia, E Iehova, aole loa au e hana ia mea; aole anei keia ke koko o na kanaka, o ka poe i hele a kokoke i ka make? Nolaila aole ia i make inu ia. Pela i hana'i ia mau kanaka ikaika ekolu.
He said, "Far be it from me, LORD, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?" Therefore he would not drink it. The Three warriors did these things.
18 A o Abisai ke kaikaina o Ioaba, ke keiki a Zeruia, oia ka luna o kekahi poe ekolu. Hoaka ae la ia i kana ihe e ku e i na kanaka ekolu haneri, a pepehi iho la ia lakou: a loaa ia ia ka inoa iwaena o ua mau kanaka ikaika la ekolu.
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was leader of the Thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name beside the Three.
19 Aole anei oia ka mea koikoi loa o ka poe ekolu? nolaila oia ko lakou luna: aole hoi i hiki aku kona e like me ko ka poe mua ekolu.
He was the most illustrious of the Thirty, and he became their leader. However he did not attain to the Three.
20 O Benaia hoi ke keiki a Iehoiada, ke keiki a kekahi kanaka ikaika, no Kabezeela, he nui kana hana kupanaha: pepehi iho la ia i na kanaka liona elua o ka Moaba: iho iho la hoi ia iloko o ka lua, a pepehi iho la i ka liona i ka manawa hau.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, who performed great deeds. He killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.
21 Pepehi iho la hoi oia i kekahi kanaka no Aigupita, he mea helehelena maikai: he ihe no ma ka lima o ke kanaka no Aigupita, a hele aku la kela io na la me ke kookoo, a kaili ae la i ka ihe mai loko ae o ka lima o ke kanaka Aigupita, a pepehi iho la ia ia me kana ihe.
He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature. And the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and grabbed the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
22 O na mea keia a Benaia a ke keiki a Iehoiada i hana'i, a loaa ia ia ka inoa iwaena o ka poe kanaka ikaika ekolu.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the Three warriors.
23 Ua oi aku kona koikoi i ko ka poe kanakolu, aole hoi i hiki aku kona i ko ka poe mua ekolu. A hoonoho aku la o Davida ia ia i kuhina nona.
He was more honored than the Thirty, but he did not attain to the Three. David set him over his guard.
