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 said, and the man [who was] raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
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, and 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, He that ruleth over men [must be] just, ruling 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.
And [he shall be] as the light of the morning, [when] the sun riseth, [even] a morning without clouds; [as] the tender grass [springing] out of the earth by 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.
Although my house [is] not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all [things], and sure: for [this is] all my salvation, and all [my] desire, although he maketh [it] not to 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 [the sons] of Belial [shall be] all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
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 [that] shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the [same] 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 mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same [was] Adino the Eznite: [he lifted up his spear] against eight hundred, whom he slew 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.
And after him [was] Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, [one] of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines [that] were there assembled to battle, and the men of Israel had gone away:
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 smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand adhered to the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to plunder.
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.
And after him [was] Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were collected into a troop, where was a piece 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 ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought 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 chiefs went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
14 Ilaila o Davida iloko o ka wahi paa, a ma Betelehema ka pakaua o ke Pilisetia ia manawa.
And David [was] then in a hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then [in] Beth-lehem.
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 longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, 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.
And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that [was] by the gate, and took [it], and brought [it] to David: nevertheless 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.
And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: [is not this] the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.
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 chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, [and] slew [them], and had the name among 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.
Was he not most honorable of three? therefore he was their captain: yet he attained not to the [first] 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.
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lion-like men of Moab: he went down also and slew 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.
And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew 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.
These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among three mighty men.
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 honorable than the thirty, but he attained not to the [first] three. And David set him over his guard.
