< 1 Samuel 30 >

1 Three days later, when David and his men arrived at Ziklag, [they discovered that] men of the Amalek people-group had raided Ziklag and [towns in] the southern part of Judah. They had destroyed Ziklag and burned down all the buildings.
A I ka hiki ana'ku o Davida me kona poe kanaka ma Zikelaga i ka po akolu, ua hele mai na Amaleka ma ka aoao hema a ma Zikelaga, a ua luku aku ia Zikelaga, a puhi aku la ia i ke ahi;
2 They had captured the women [and the children] and everyone else, and had taken them away. But they had not killed anyone.
A ua lawe pio aku i na wahine o ia wahi; aole lakou i pepehi i kekahi o ka mea nui, aole hoi i ka mea uuku: aka, alakai aku la ia lakou, a hele aku la ma ko lakou ala.
3 When David and his men came to Ziklag, they saw that the town had been burned, and that their wives and sons and daughters had been captured and taken away.
A hiki aku la o Davida me kona poe kanaka ma ke kulanakauhale, aia hoi, ua puhiia i ke ahi; a ua lawe pio ia aku ka lakou mau wahine, a me ka lakou mau keikikane, a me ka lakou mau kaikamahine.
4 David and his men cried loudly, until [they were so weak that] they could not cry [any more].
Alaila hookiekie ae la o Davida me na kanaka me ia i ko lakou leo iluna, a auwe iho la, a pau ko lakou aho i ka auwe ana.
5 David’s two wives, Ahinoam and Abigail, had also been taken away.
A ua lawe pio ia aku la na wahine elua a Davida, o Ahinoama no Iezereela, a me Abigaila ka wahine a Nabala no Karemela.
6 David’s men were threatening to [kill him by] throwing stones at him, because they were very angry because their sons and daughters [had been taken away]. David was very distressed, but Yahweh his God gave him strength.
Pilikia loa iho la o Davida: a ua olelo na kanaka e pehi ia ia i ka pohaku, no ka mea, ua kaumaha ka naau o na kanaka a pau, o kela kanaka keia kanaka no kana mau keikikane, a me kana mau kaikamahine: aka, hooikaika iho la o Davida ia ia iho ma Iehova kona Akua.
7 David [did not know what to do, so he] said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring to me the sacred vest.” So Abiathar brought it,
Olelo aku la o Davida ia Abiatara ke kahuna, ke keiki a Ahimeleka, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe e lawe mai i ka epoda ia'u. A lawe mai la o Abiatara i ka epoda ia Davida.
8 and David asked Yahweh, “Should I [and my men] pursue the men [who took our families]? Will we [be able to] catch up to them?” Yahweh answered [by means of the stones in Abiathar’s sacred pouch], “Yes, pursue them. You will catch up to them, and you will be able to rescue [your families].”
Ninau aku la o Davida ia Iehova, i aku la, E hahai anei au mahope o keia poe? E loaa anei lakou ia'u? A i mai la oia ia ia, E hahai aku oe, no ka mea, e loaa no ia oe, a e lawe hou mai i na mea a pau.
9 So David and the 600 men who were with him left, and they came to the Besor Ravine. Some of his men stayed there [with some of their supplies].
A hele aku la o Davida, oia me na kanaka pu me ia eono haneri, a hiki lakou ma ke kahawai o Besora, kahi i kali ai ka poe i waihoia mahope.
10 David and 400 men continued to pursue [the men who captured their families]. The other 200 men stayed there at the ravine, because they were so exhausted that they could not cross the ravine.
Aka, hahai aku la o Davida, oia me na haneri kanaka eha: no ka mea, hoonohoia aku la mahope elua haneri kanaka, aole e hiki aku lakou ma kela kapa o ke kahawai o Besora, no ko lakou nawaliwali.
11 [As David and the 400 men were going], they saw a man from Egypt in a field; so they took him to David. They gave the man some water to drink and some food to eat.
A loaa ia lakou he kanaka no Aigupita ma ke kula, a lawe mai lakou ia ia io Davida la, a haawi aku la ia ia i ka berena, a ai iho la ia, a hooinu lakou ia ia i ka wai.
12 They also gave him a piece of fig cake and two clusters/packs of raisins. The man had not had anything to eat or drink for three days and nights, but [after he ate and drank] he felt refreshed.
A haawi aku lakou ia ia i kekahi apana o ke pai fiku, a i elua huiwaina maloo: a pau kana ai ana, hiki hou mai la ka ikaika ia ia; no ka mea, aole ia i ai i ka berena, aole hoi i inu i ka wai i na la a me na po ekolu.
13 David asked him, “Who is your master? And where do you come from?” He replied, “I am from Egypt. I am a slave of a man from the Amalek people-group. Three days ago my master left me here, because I was sick [and I was not able to go with them].
Ninau aku la o Davida ia ia, Nowai la oe? a nohea hoi oe? I mai la ia, He kanaka ui au no Aigupita, he kauwa na kekahi Amaleka; a ua haalele kuu haku ia'u, no ka mea, i ka poakolu ae nei i loohia ai au e ka mai.
14 We had raided the southern part of Judah where the Kereth people-group live, and some other towns in Judah, and the area south [of Hebron city] where the descendants of Caleb live. We also burned Ziklag [town].”
Hele kaua aku la makou ma ka aoao hema o ko Kereti, a ma kekahi aoao no ka Iuda, a ma ka aoao hema o Kaleba, a puhi aku la makou ia Zikelaga i ke ahi.
15 David asked him, “Can you lead us to this group of raiders?” He replied, “Yes, [I will do that] if you ask God to listen while you promise that you will not kill me or give me back to my master. If you promise that, I will take you to them.”
Ninau aku la o Davida ia ia, E hiki anei ia oe ke alakai aku ia'u i ua poe la? I mai la ia, E hoohiki mai oe ia'u ma ke Akua, i ole oe e pepehi mai ia'u, i ole hoi e haawi ia'u iloko o na lima o kuu haku, a e alakai aku au ia oe i ua poe la.
16 [David agreed to do that, ] so the man from Egypt led David [and his men] to where the men from the Amalek people-group were. Those men were lying on the ground, eating and drinking and celebrating because of having captured many things from the Philistia and Judah areas.
A alakai aku la ia ia lakou, aia hoi, ua hoomoana lakou ma ka aina a pau, e ahaaina ana, a e inu ana, a e haa ana, no ka nui o ka waiwai pio a lakou i lawe ae noloko mai o ka aina o ko Pilisetia, a me ka aina o ka Iuda.
17 David [and his men] fought against them from sunset that day until the evening of the following day. Four hundred of them escaped and rode away on camels, but none of the others escaped.
A luku aku la o Davida ia lakou mai ka wanaao a hiki i ke ahiahi a ia la aku; aole i pakele kekahi kanaka o lakou, eha haneri kanaka ui hooholo kamelo wale no i pakele.
18 David rescued his two wives, and he and his men got back everything else that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken.
A loaa hou ia Davida na mea a pau a ka Ameleka i lawe aku ai, a hoopakele o Davida i kana mau wahine.
19 Nothing was missing. They took all their people back [to Ziklag]—young people and old people, [their wives], their sons and their daughters. They also recovered all the other things that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken from Ziklag.
Aole i nalowale kekahi mea ia lakou, aole ka mea uuku, aole ka mea nui, aole na keikikane, aole na kaikamahine, aole na waiwai pio, aole kekahi mea a lakou i lawe aku ai no lakou, loaa iho la ia Davida na mea a pau.
20 They took with them the sheep and cattle that had been captured, and his men caused those animals to go in front of them, saying, “These are animals that we captured in the battle; they belong to David!”
A lawe aku la o Davida i ka poe hipa a pau, a me na bipi a lakou i a ai imua o kela poe holoholona, a i ae la lakou, O ka Davida waiwai pio keia.
21 David and his men got back to where the other 200 men were waiting, the men who did not go with David because they were very exhausted. They had stayed at Besor Ravine. [When they saw David and his men coming], they went out to greet them. And David [greeted them and] said to them, “I hope that things are going well with you!”
A hoi mai o Davida i na haneri kanaka elua, i ka poe i hiki ole ke hahai mamuli o Davida no ko lakou nawaliwali, i na mea a lakou i hoonoho ai ma ke kahawai o Besora: a hele mai lakou e halawai me Davida, a e halawai hoi me na kanaka me ia: a hiki mai o Davida a kokoke i na kanaka, aloha mai la oia ia lakou.
22 But some of the men who had gone with David, men who were evil and troublemakers, said, “These 200 men did not go with us. So we should not give to them any of the things that we recovered/captured. Each of them should take only his wife and children and go [back to their homes].”
Alaila olelo mai na kanaka hewa a pau, a me ka poe Beliala, o na kanaka i hele pu me Davida, i mai la, No ko lakou hele pu ole me kakou, aole kakou e haawi aku ia lakou i kekahi o ka waiwai pio a kakou i loaa hou mai, aka, e lawe kela kanaka keia kanaka i kana wahine, a me kana mau keiki, a alakai aku, a hele.
23 David replied, “No, my fellow Israelis, it would not be right to divide up like that the things that Yahweh has allowed us to capture. Yahweh has protected us and enabled us to defeat the enemies who attacked our town.
Olelo aku la o Davida, E na hoahanau o'u, mai hana oukou pela i na mea a Iehova i haawi mai ai ia kakou, nana kakou i malama mai, a hoolilo mai hoi i ka poe i hele ku e mai ia kakou iloko o ko kakou lima.
24 (Who will pay attention to you if you say things like that?/No one will pay attention to you if you say things like that.) [RHQ] The men who stayed here with our supplies will get the same amount that the men who went into the battle will get. They will all receive the same amount.”
Owai ka mea e hoolohe mai ia oukou i keia mea? no ka mea, e like me ka ka mea i hele i ke kaua, pela no ka ka mea i noho me na ukana, e like pu ka lakou.
25 David made that to be a law [DOU] for the Israeli people, and that is still a law in Israel.
A mai ia la mai, hana iho la oia ia mea i kanawai, a i olelo kupaa no ka Iseraela a hiki i keia la.
26 When David [and all the others] arrived in Ziklag, David sent to his friends who were leaders in Judah some of the things that they had captured from the Amalek people-group. He said to them, “Here is a present for you. These are things that we took from Yahweh’s enemies.”
A hiki aku la o Davida ma Zikelaga, hoouna aku la ia i kekahi o ka waiwai pio na na lunakahiko o ka Iuda, na kona poe makamaka, i aku la, Eia mai ka makana na oukou, no ka waiwai pio a ka poe enemi o Iehova;
27 [Here is a list of the cities and towns to whose leaders David sent gifts: ] Bethel, Ramoth in the southern part of Judah, Jattir,
Na ka poe ma Betela, a na ka poe ma Ramota kukulu hema, a na ka poe ma Iatira,
28 Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,
A na ka poe ma Aroera, a na ka poe ma Sipemota, a na ka poe ma Esetemoa.

A na ka noe ma Rakala, a na ka poe ma na kulanakauhale o ka Ierahemeeli, a na ka poe ma na kulanakauhale o na Keni,

A na ka poe ma Heberona, a ma na wahi a pau a Davida a me kona poe kanaka i holoholo ai.
