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;
And it comes to pass after the death of Saul, that David has returned from striking the Amalekite, and David dwells in Ziklag [for] two days,
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 it comes to pass, on the third day, that behold, a man has come in out of the camp from Saul, and his garments [are] torn, and earth [is] on his head; and it comes to pass in his coming to David, that he falls to the earth and pays respect.
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 says to him, “Where do you come from?” And he says to him, “I have escaped 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 says to him, “What has been the matter? Please declare [it] to me.” And he says, “That the people have fled from the battle, and also a multitude of the people have fallen, and they die; and also Saul and his son Jonathan have died.”
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 says to the youth who is declaring [it] to him, “How have you known that Saul and his son Jonathan [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 youth who is declaring [it] to him says, “I happened to meet in Mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul is leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and those possessing horses have followed 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 he turns behind him, and sees me, and calls to me, and I say, Here I [am].
8 Ninau mai kela ia'u, Owai oe? Olelo aku la au, He Amaleka wau.
And he says to me, Who [are] you? And I say to him, I [am] an Amalekite.
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 says to me, Please stand over me and put me to death, for the arrow has seized me, for all my soul [is] still 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.
And I stand over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he does not live after his falling, and I take the crown which [is] on his head, and the bracelet which [is] on his arm, and bring them to my lord here.”
11 Alaila, lalau iho la o Davida i kona kapa, a haehae iho la, a pela no hoi na kanaka a pau me ia.
And David takes hold on his garments, and tears them, and also all the men who [are] 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 mourn, and weep, and fast until the evening, for Saul, and for his son Jonathan, and for the people of YHWH, and for the house of Israel, because they have 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 says to the youth who is declaring [it] to him, “Where [are] you from?” And he says, “I [am] the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite.”
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?
And David says to him, “How were you not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the anointed of YHWH?”
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 calls to one of the youths and says, “Draw near—fall on him”; and he strikes him, and he dies;
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 says to him, “Your blood [is] on your own head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I put to death the anointed of YHWH.”
17 Kanikau aku la o Davida i keia kanikau ana ia Saula a ia Ionatana kana keiki.
And David laments with this lamentation over Saul, and over his son Jonathan;
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.)
and he says to teach the sons of Judah “The Bow”; behold, it is written on the Scroll of the Upright:
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 beauty of Israel [Is] wounded on your high places; How the mighty have 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.
Do not declare [it] in Gath, Do not proclaim the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon, Lest they rejoice—The daughters of the Philistines, Lest they exult—The daughters of the uncircumcised!
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.
Mountains of Gilboa! No dew nor rain be on you, And fields of raised-offerings! For there has become loathsome The shield of the mighty, The shield of Saul—without the 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 wounded, From the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan Has not turned backward; And the sword of Saul does 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! They are loved and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they have not been parted. They have been lighter than eagles, They have been mightier 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.
Daughters of Israel! Weep for Saul, Who is clothing you [in] scarlet with delights. Who is lifting up ornaments of gold on your clothing.
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 the mighty have fallen In the midst of the battle! Jonathan [was] wounded on your 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 am in distress for you, my brother Jonathan, You were very pleasant to me; Your love was wonderful to me, Above the love of women!
27 Kai ka haule ana o ka poe ikaika, A me ka pau ana o na mea kaua!
How the mighty have fallen, Indeed, the weapons of war perish!”
