II Samuela 3

1 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.

And there was war for a long time between the house of Saul and the house of David; and the house of David grew continually stronger; but the house of Saul grew continually weaker.

2 Ua hanau na keikikane na Davida ma Heberona: o Amenona kana hanau mua na Ahinoama no Iezereela;

And sons were born to David in Chebron: and his firstborn was Ammon the son of Achinoom the Jezraelitess.

3 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;

And his second son [was] Daluia, the son of Abigaia the Carmelitess; and the third, Abessalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmi the king of Gessir.

4 A o ka ha, e Adoniia ke keikikaue a Hagita; a o ka lima, o Sepatia ke keikikane a Abitala:

And the fourth [was] Ornia, the son of Aggith, and the fifth [was] Saphatia, the son of Abital.

5 A o ke ono, o Itereama na Egela ka wahine a Davida. Ua hanau keia poe na Davida ma Heberona.

And the sixth [was] Jetheraam, the son of Aegal the wife of David. These were born to David in Chebron.

6 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.

And it came to pass while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abenner was governing the house of Saul.

7 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?

And Saul had a concubine, Respha, the daughter of Jol; and Jebosthe the son of Saul said to Abenner, Why have you gone in to my father's concubine?

8 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?

And Abenner was very angry with Jebosthe for this saying; and Abenner said to him, Am I a dog's head? I have this day wrought kindness with the house of Saul your father, and with his brethren and friends, and have not gone over to the house of David, and do you this day seek a charge against me concerning injury to a woman?

9 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;

God do thus and more also to Abenner, if as the Lord swore to David, so do I not to him this day;

10 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.

to take away the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee.

11 Aole no i hiki ia ia ke pane olelo hou aku ia Abenera; no ka mea, ua makau kela ia ia.

And Jebosthe could not any longer answer Abenner a word, because he feared him.

12 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.

And Abenner sent messengers to David to Thaelam where he was, immediately, saying, Make your covenant with me, and, behold, my hand [is] with you to bring back to you all the house of Israel.

13 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.

And David said, With a good will I will make with you a covenant: only I demand one condition of you, saying, You shall not see my face, unless you bring Melchol the daughter of Saul, when you come to see my face.

14 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.

And David sent messengers to Jebosthe the son of Saul, saying, Restore me my wife Melchol, whom I took for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.

15 Hoouna aku la o Iseboseta, a lawe ae la ia ia mai ke kane aku o Paletiela ke keiki a Laisa.

And Jebosthe sent, and took her from her husband, [even] from Phaltiel the son of Selle.

16 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.

And her husband went with her weeping behind her as far as Barakim. And Abenner said to him, Go, return; and he returned.

17 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.

And Abenner spoke to the elders of Israel, saying, In former days you sought David to reign over you;

18 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.

and now perform [it]: for the Lord has spoken concerning David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save Israel out of the hand of all their enemies.

19 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.

And Abenner spoke in the ears of Benjamin: and Abenner went to speak in the ears of David at Chebron, all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of the house of Benjamin.

20 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.

And Abenner came to David to Chebron, and with him twenty men: and David made for Abenner and his men with him a banquet of wine.

21 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.

And Abenner said to David, I will arise now, and go, and gather to my lord the king all Israel; and I will make with him a covenant, and you shall reign over all whom your soul desires. And David sent away Abenner, and he departed in peace.

22 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.

And, behold, the servants of David and Joab arrived from their expedition, and they brought much spoil with them: and Abenner was not with David in Chebron, because he had sent him away, and he had departed in peace.

23 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.

And Joab and all his army came, and it was reported to Joab, saying, Abenner the son of Ner is come to David, and David has let him go, and he has departed in peace.

24 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?

And Joab went in to the king, and said, What [is] this [that] you have done? behold, Abenner came to you; and why have you let him go, and he has departed in peace?

25 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.

Know you not the mischief of Abenner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all things that you do?

26 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.

And Joab returned from David, and sent messengers to Abenner after [him]; and they bring him back from the well of Seiram: but David knew [it] not.

27 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.

And he brought back Abenner to Chebron, and Joab caused him to turn aside from the gate to speak to him, laying wait for him: and he struck him there in the loins, and he died for the blood of Asael the brother of Joab.

28 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.

And David heard [of it] afterwards, and said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord even for ever of the blood of Abenner the son of Ner.

29 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.

Let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all the house of his father; and let there not be lacking of the house of Joab one that has an issue, or a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that wants bread.

30 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.

For Joab and Abessa his brother laid wait continually for Abenner, because he killed Asael their brother at Gabaon in the battle.

31 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.

And David said to Joab and to all the people with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament before Abenner. And king David followed the bier.

32 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.

And they bury Abenner in Chebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at his tomb, and all the people wept for Abenner.

33 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?

And the king mourned over Abenner, and said, Shall Abenner die according to the death of Nabal?

34 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.

Your hands were not bound, and your feet [were] not [put] in fetters: [one] brought [you] not near as Nabal; you did fall before children of iniquity.

35 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.

And all the people assembled to weep for him. And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day: and David swore, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I eat bread or any thing else before the sun goes down.

36 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.

And all the people took notice, and all things that the king did before the people were pleasing in their sight.

37 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.

So all the people and all Israel perceived in that day, that it was not of the king to kill Abenner the son of Ner.

38 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.

And the king said to his servants, Know you not that a great prince is this day fallen in Israel?

39 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.

And that I am this day a [mere] kinsman [of his], and [as it were] a subject; but these men the sons of Saruia are too hard for me: the Lord reward the evil-doer according to his wickedness.
