< II Samuela 1 >

1 MAHOPE iho o ka make ana o Saula, a ua hoi hou mai o Davida mai ka luku ana i ka Amaleka, a noho iho o Davida elua la i Zikelaga;
Now it came to pass, after Saul was dead, that David returned from the slaughter of the Amalecites, and abode two days in Siceleg.
2 A i ke kolu o ka la, aia hoi, he kanaka i hele mai, mai ke kahua kaua, mai Saula mai, me kona kapa i haehaeia, a me ka lepo maluna o kona poo; a hiki aku la ia io Davida la, moe iho la ia ma ka honua, a hoomaikai aku la.
And on the third day, there appeared a man who came out of Saul’s camp, with his garments rent, and dust strewed on his head: and when he came to David, he fell upon his face, and adored.
3 I aku la o Davida ia ia, Mai hea mai oe i hele mai nei? I mai la kela ia ia, Ua pakele mai nei au mai ke kahua kaua mai o ka Iseraela.
And David said to him: From whence comest thou? And he said to him: I am fled out of the camp of Israel.
4 I aku la o Davida ia ia, Pehea kela mea? Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai ia'u. I mai la kela, Ua hee aku la na kanaka mai ke kaua aku, a ua haule na kanaka he nui loa a make: ua make hoi o Saula a me kana keikikane o Ionatana.
And David said unto him: What is the matter that is come to pass? tell me. He said: The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people are fallen and dead: moreover Saul and Jonathan his son are slain.
5 I aku la o Davida i ke kanaka opiopio nana i hai mai ia ia, Pehea kau ike ana, ua make o Saula a me Ionatana kana keiki?
And David said to the young man that told him: How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son, are dead?
6 I mai la ua kanaka opiopio la nana i hai mai ia ia, A i ko'u hiki wale ana aku maluna o ka puu o Gileboa, aia hoi, e kalele ana o Saula maluna iho o kona ihe; a hahai ikaika mai la na halekaa a me na hoohololio mahope ona.
And the young man that told him, said: I came by chance upon mount Gelboe, and Saul leaned upon his spear: and the chariots and horsemen drew nigh unto him,
7 Alawa ae la ia i hope, ike mai la ia'u, a kahea mai la ia'u: i aku la au, Eia no wau.
And looking behind him, and seeing me, he called me. And I answered, Here am I.
8 Ninau mai kela ia'u, Owai oe? Olelo aku la au, He Amaleka wau.
And he said to me: Who art thou? And I said to him: I am an Amalecite.
9 I hou mai la ia ia'u, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ku oe maluna iho o'u, a e pepehi mai ia'u; no ka mea, ke kau mai nei ka poniuniu maluna iho o'u, a ke koe nei ke ola okoa iloko o'u.
And he said to me: Stand over me, and kill me: for anguish is come upon me, and as yet my whole life is in me.
10 A ku iho la au maluna ona, a pepehi iho la ia ia; no ka mea, ua ike pono au, aole ia e ola mahope iho o kona haule ana: lawe ae la no au i ka papale alii maluna o kona poo, a me ke kupee ma kona lima, a ua halihali mai nei au ia mau mea i kuu haku.
So standing over him, I killed him: for I knew that he could not live after the fall: and I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm and have brought them hither to thee, my lord.
11 Alaila, lalau iho la o Davida i kona kapa, a haehae iho la, a pela no hoi na kanaka a pau me ia.
Then David took hold of his garments and rent them, and likewise all the men that were with him.
12 Kanikau aku la lakou me ka uwe aku, a hookeai iho la lakou a hiki i ke ahiahi, no Saula a no Ionatana kana keiki, a no ka poe kanaka o Iehova, a no ka ohana a Iseraela; no ka mea, ua haule lakou i ka pahikaua.
And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were fallen by the sword.
13 Ninau aku la o Davida i ke kanaka opiopio nana i hai mai ia ia, Nohea oe? I mai la kela, He keiki au na kekahi malihini, he Amaleka.
And David said to the young man that told him: Whence art thou? He answered: I am the son of a stranger of Amalee.
14 I aku la o Davida ia ia, Heaha kou mea i makau ole ai i ka o aku i kou lima e pepehi i ka Iehova mea i poniia?
David said to him: Why didst thou not fear to put out thy hand to kill the Lord’s anointed?
15 Kahea aku la o Davida i kekahi kanaka opiopio, i aku la, E neenee aku oe, a e lele aku maluna ona. Pepehi aku la kela ia ia, a make iho la ia.
And David calling one of his servants, said: Go near and fall upon him. And he struck him so that he died.
16 I aku la o Davida ia ia, Maluna o kou poo iho ke koko ou: no ka mea, ua ahewa mai la kou waha iho ia oe, i ka i ana, Ua pepehi no au i ka Iehova mea i poniia.
And David said to him: Thy blood be upon thy own head: for thy own mouth hath spoken against thee, saying: I have slain the Lord’s anointed.
17 Kanikau aku la o Davida i keia kanikau ana ia Saula a ia Ionatana kana keiki.
And David made this kind of lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son.
18 (Kauoha aku la hoi ia e ao i na mamo a Iuda i ke kakaka: aia hoi ua kakauia maloko o ka buke a Iasera.)
(Also he commanded that they should teach the children of Juda the use of the bow, as it is written in the book of the just.) And he said: Consider, O Israel, for them that are dead, wounded on thy high places.
19 O ka nani o ka Iseraela, ua pepehiia oia maluna o na wahi kiekie ou; Kai ka haule ana o ka poe ikaika?
The illustrious of Israel are slain upon thy mountains: how are the valiant fallen?
20 Mai hai aku ia mea ma Gata, Mai kala aku hoi ia ma na alanui o Asekelona; O hauoli na kaikamahine a ka poe Pilisetia, O haanui hoi na kaikamahine a ka poe okipoepoe ole ia.
Tell it not in Geth, publish it not in the streets of Ascalon: lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph,
21 E na puu o Gileboa, aole make hau, Aole hoi he ua maluna iho o oukou; Aole hoi na mahinaai o na hua mua: Ilaila kahi i hooleiia'ku ai ka palekaua o ka mea ikaika, Ka palekaua o Saula i poni ole ia i ka aila.
Ye mountains of Gelboe, let neither dew, nor rain come upon you, neither be they fields of firstfruits: for there was cast away the shield of the valiant, the shield of Saul as though he had not been anointed with oil.
22 Mai ke koko ae o ka poe i make, A mai ka momona ae o ka poe ikaika, Aole i hoi ihope ke kakaka o Ionatana, Aole hoi i hoi nele mai ka pahikaua a Saula.
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the valiant, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
23 Ua aloha no, a ua oluolu hoi o Saula a o Ionatana i ko laua ola ana, A i ko laua make ana, aole laua i hookaawaleia. Ua oi aku ko laua mama i ko na aeto, A me ko laua ikaika i ko na liona.
Saul and Jonathan, lovely, and comely in their life, even in death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
24 E na kaikamahine o ka Iseraela, e kanikau aku oukou ia Saula, Nana oukou i hoaahu aku i ke kapa ula, a me na mea nani: Nana i hoonani i ko oukou kapa i ke gula.
Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet in delights, who gave ornaments of gold for your attire.
25 Kai ka haule ana o ka poe ikaika iwaena o ke kaua ana! E Ionatana, ua pepehiia oe maluna o na wahi kiekie ou.
How are the valiant fallen in battle? Jonathan slain in the high places?
26 Ua ehaeha loa au nou, e kuu hoahanau, e Ionatana: He oluolu loa oe ia'u, he kupanaha kou aloha ia'u, E oi mai ana i ke aloha o na wahine.
I grieve for thee, my brother Jonathan: exceeding beautiful, and amiable to me above the love of women. As the mother loveth her only son, so did I love thee.
27 Kai ka haule ana o ka poe ikaika, A me ka pau ana o na mea kaua!
How are the valiant fallen, and the weapons of war perished?
