1Now it was reported to David, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and looting the threshing floors.”
1A LAILA hai aku la lakou ia Davida, i aku la, Aia hoi, ke kaua mai nei ko Pilisetia i Keila, a hao wale lakou ma kahi hehi palaoa.
2So David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go and attack these Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah.”
2No ia mea, ninau aku la o Davida ia Iehova, i aku la, E hele anei au e pepehi i keia poe o ko Pilisetia? I mai la o Iehova ia Davida, O hele a pepehi aku i ko Pilisetia, a e hoopakele i ko Keila.
3But David’s men said to him, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
3Olelo mai na kanaka o Davida ia ia, Aia hoi, ke makau nei kakou maanei maloko o ka Iuda: aole anei he nui aku, ke hele kakou ma Keila e ku e i ka poe kaua no ko Pilisetia?
4Once again, David inquired of the LORD, and the LORD answered him: “Go at once to Keilah, for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
4A ninau hou aku la o Davida ia Iehova. Olelo mai la o Iehova ia ia, i mai la, E ku ae e hele ma Keila; no ka mea, e hoolilo au i ko Pilisetia iloko o kou lima.
5Then David and his men went to Keilah, fought against the Philistines, and carried off their livestock, striking them with a mighty blow. So David saved the people of Keilah.
5A hele aku la o Davida me kona poe kanaka ma Keila, a kaua aku i ko Pilisetia, a lawe aku i ko lakou holoholona, a pepehi aku ia lakou me ka luku nui. A hoopakele o Davida i na kanaka o Keila.
6(Now Abiathar son of Ahimelech had brought the ephod with him when he fled to David at Keilah.)
6A i ka holo ana o Abiatara ke keiki a Ahimeleka io Davida la i Keila, ua hele no ia me ka epoda ma kona lima.
7When Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah, he said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he has trapped himself by entering a town with gates and bars.”
7Ua haiia ia Saula ko Davida hele ana ma Keila. I mai la o Saula, Ua hoolilo mai ke Akua ia ia iloko o kuu lima; no ka mea, ua paa ia maloko, i kona komo ana i ke kulanakauhale i paa i na ipuka a me na kaola.
8Then Saul summoned all his troops to go to war at Keilah and besiege David and his men.
8Houluulu ae la o Saula i na kanaka a pau i ke kaua, o hele ma Keila, e hoopaa aku ia Davida a me kona poe kanaka.
9When David learned that Saul was plotting evil against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod.”
9A ike iho la o Davida, ua manao ino malu mai o Saula ia ia; i aku la oia ia Abiatara ke kahuna, E lawe mai i ka epoda.
10And David said, “O LORD, God of Israel, Your servant has heard that Saul intends to come to Keilah and destroy the city on my account.
10Alaila i aku la o Davida, E Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ua lohe akaka iho nei kau kauwa i ka manao ana o Saula e hele mai nei i Keila e luku i ke kulanakauhale no'u nei.
11Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O LORD, God of Israel, please tell Your servant.” “He will,” said the LORD.
11E haawi anei na kanaka o Keila ia'u iloko o kona lima? E iho mai anei o Saula e like me kau kauwa i lohe ai? E Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai oe i kau kauwa. I mai la o Iehova, E iho mai no.
12So David asked, “Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me and my men into the hand of Saul?” “They will,” said the LORD.
12I aku la o Davida, E haawi anei na kanaka o Keila ia'u a me kuu poe kanaka iloko o ka lima o Saula? I mai la o Iehova, E haawi no lakou.
13Then David and his men, about six hundred strong, set out and departed from Keilah, moving from place to place. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah, he declined to go forth.
13Alaila ku ae la o Davida a me kona poe kanaka, aono haneri paha, a puka aku la iwaho o Keila, a hele aku ia i ka lakou wahi e hele ai. Ua haiia mai ia Saula ka holo ana o Davida mai Keila aku, a haalele ia i ka hele mai.
14And David stayed in the wilderness strongholds and in the hill country of the Wilderness of Ziph. Day after day Saul searched for him, but God would not deliver David into his hand.
14A noho iho la o Davida i ka waonahele, ma na wahi paa, a noho i ka mauna ma ka waonahele o Zipa: a imi aku la o Saula ia ia i kela la i keia la, aole ke Akua i haawi mai ia ia iloko o kona lima.
15While David was in Horesh in the Wilderness of Ziph, he saw that Saul had come out to take his life.
15A ike iho la o Davida, ua hele mai o Saula e imi i kona ola: aia no o Davida ma ka waonahele a Zipa maloko o ka ululaau.
16And Saul’s son Jonathan came to David in Horesh and strengthened his hand in God,
16Ku ae la o Ionatana ke keiki a Saula, a hele io Davida la maloko o ka ululaau, a hooikaika aku la i kona lima ma ke Akua.
17saying, “Do not be afraid, for my father Saul will never lay a hand on you. And you will be king over Israel, and I will be your second-in-command. Even my father Saul knows this is true.”
17I aku la oia ia ia, Mai makau oe, no ka mea, aole e loaa oe i ka lima o Saula ko'u makuakane: a e lilo oe i alii maluna o ka Iseraela, a owau hoi ka lua malalo iho ou: a ua ikeia hoi ia e Saula, e ko'u makuakane.
18So the two of them made a covenant before the LORD. And David remained in Horesh, while Jonathan went home.
18A hoopaa iho la laua i kuikahi imua o Iehova. Noho iho la o Davida maloko o ka ululaau, a hoi aku la o Ionatana ma kona hale.
19Then the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah south of Jeshimon?
19Alaila pii mai la ko Zipa io Saula la ma Gibea, i mai la, Aole anei o Davida i pee iho io makou la ma na wahi paa iloko o ka ululaau ma ka puu o Hakila, ma ka aoao hema o Iesimona?
20Now, O king, come down whenever your soul desires, and we will be responsible for delivering him into your hand.”
20No ia mea hoi, E ke alii, e iho mai oe, e like me ka makemake a pau o kou naau e iho mai, a na makou ia e haawi aku iloko o ka lima o ke alii.
21“May you be blessed by the LORD,” replied Saul, “for you have had compassion on me.
21I aku la o Saula, E pomaikai oukou ia Iehova; no ka mea, ua lokomaikai mai oukou ia'u.
22Please go and prepare further. Investigate and watch carefully where he goes and who has seen him there, for I am told that he is extremely cunning.
22Ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e hele, e hoomakaukau hoi, a e nana a ike i kona wahi a kona wawae i hele ai, a o ka mea i ike ia ia malaila: no ka mea, ua haiia mai ia'u, ua hana maalea loa oia.
23Observe and find out all the places where he hides. Then come back to me with certainty, and I will go with you. If he is in the land, I will search him out among all the clans of Judah.”
23E nana hoi oukou, a ike i na wahi pee a pau ana e pee ai, a hoi hou mai io'u nei me ka oiaio, a e hele pu au me oukou; a ina e noho ana oia ma ka aina, e imi au ia ia mawaena o na tausani a pau o ka Iuda.
24So they set out and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the Wilderness of Maon in the Arabah south of Jeshimon,
24Ku ae la lakou, a hele ma Zipa mamua o Saula: a o Davida a me kona poe kanaka aia iloko o ka waonahele o Maona i ka papu ma ka aoao hema o Iesimona.
25and Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told about it, he went down to the rock and stayed in the Wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard of this, he pursued David there.
25Hele aku la o Saula a me kona poe kanaka e imi ia ia; a hai aku lakou ia Davida, a iho mai ia i ka pohaku, a noho ma ka waonahele o Maona. A lohe o Saula, hahai aku la ia mahope o Davida ma ka waonahele o Maona.
26Saul was proceeding along one side of the mountain, and David and his men along the other side. Even though David was hurrying to get away, Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men to capture them.
26A hele aku la o Saula ma keia aoao o ka mauna, aia o Davida a me kona poe kanaka ma kela aoao o ka mauna: hele koke aku la o Davida no ka makau ia Saula; no ka mea, ua hoopuni o Saula a me kona poe kanaka ia Davida a me kona poe kanaka e hopu ia lakou.
27Then a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Come quickly, for the Philistines have raided the land!”
27A hele mai he elele ia Saula, i mai la, E wikiwiki oe, e hoi mai; no ka mea, ua hiki mai ko Pilisetia ma ka aina.
28So Saul broke off his pursuit of David and went to meet the Philistines. That is why that place is called Sela-hammahlekoth.
28No ia mea, hoi aku la o Saula mai ka hahai ana ia Davida, a hele ku e aku la i ko Pilisetia: a kapa aku la lakou i ka inoa o ia wahi, o Selahamalekota.
29And David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En-gedi.
29Pii ae la o Davida mailaila aku, a noho iloko o na wahi paa ma Enegedi.
