1And Joab the son of Sarvia, understanding that the king’s heart was turned to Absalom,
1IKE ae la o Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia, ua hele aku ka naau o ke alii io Abesaloma la.
2Sent to Thecua, and fetched from thence a wise woman: and said to her: Feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel, and be not anointed with oil, that thou mayest be as a woman that had a long time been mourning for one dead.
2Hoouna aku la o Ioaba i Tekoa, a lawe mai la i kekahi wahine akamai mailaila mai, i aku la ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoolike oe ia oe iho me ka mea kanikau, a e aahu oe i ke kapa makena, aole hoi e kahinu i ka aila: e like oe me ka wahine i kanikau loa no ka mea i make.
3And thou shalt go in to the king, and shalt speak to him in this manner. And Joab put the words in her mouth.
3A e hele aku i ke alii, a penei e olelo aku ai. Alaila, hai aku la o Ioaba i na huaolelo no kona waha.
4And when the woman of Thecua was come in to the king, she fell before him upon the ground, and worshipped, and said: Save me, O king.
4A i ka wa i olelo aku ai ka wahine o Tekoa i ke alii, moe iho la ia ilalo kona alo, hoomaikai aku la i ke alii, i aku la, E hoola mai, e ke alii.
5And the king said to her: What is the matter with thee? She answered: Alas, I am a widow woman: for my husband is dead.
5I mai la ke alii ia ia, Heaha kau? I aku la kela, He wahinekanemake au, ua make kuu kane.
6And thy handmaid had two sons: and they quarrelled with each other in the field, and there was none to part them: and the one struck the other, and slew him.
6He mau keikikane elua a kau kauwawahine, hakaka ae la laua ma ke kula, aohe mea hoi nana e uwao, a hahau aku la kekahi i kona hoa, a make iho la ia.
7And behold the whole kindred rising against thy handmaid, saith: Deliver him that hath slain his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother, whom he slew, and that we may destroy the heir: and they seek to quench my spark which is left, and will leave my husband no name, nor remainder upon the earth.
7Aia hoi, ua ku e mai ka ohana a pau i kau kauwawahine; i mai lakou, E haawi mai oe i ka mea nana i hahau i kona hoahanau, i pepehi aku makou ia ia, no ke ola o kona hoahanau ana i pepehi aku ai; a e hoopau no hoi makou i ka hooilina: pela no lakou e kinai ai i kuu lanahu ahi i koe, aole no hoi lakou e waiho no ka'u kane i inoa, aole hoi koena maluna o ka honua.
8And the king said to the woman: Go to thy house, and I will give charge concerning thee.
8I mai la ke alii i ua wahine la, O hoi oe i kou hale, a e kauoha aku hoi au nou.
9And the woman of Thecua said to the king: Upon me, my lord, be the iniquity, and upon the house of my father: but may the king and his throne be guiltless.
9Olelo aku la ka wahine o Tekoa i ke alii, E kuu haku, e ke alii, maluna iho o'u ka hala, a maluna hoi o ka ohana a ko'u makua: a e hala ole ke alii a me kona nohoalil
10And the king said: If any one shall say ought against thee, bring him to me, and be shall not touch thee any more.
10I mai la ke alii, O ka mea olelo mai ia oe, e kai mai ia ia io'u nei, aole hoi ia e hoopa hou aku ia oe.
11And she said: Let the king remember the Lord his God, that the next of kin be not multiplied to take revenge, and that they may not kill my son. And he said: As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
11Alaila, i aku la kela, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoomanao ke alii ia Iehova i kou Akua, i ole e luku hou aku ka mea hoopai koko, o make ka'u keiki I mai la ke alii, Ma ko Iehova ola ana, aole o haule ka lauoho hookahi o kau keiki ma ka honua.
12Then the woman said: Let thy handmaid speak one word to my lord the king. And he said: Speak.
12Alaila i aku la ua wahine la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe i kau kauwawahine, e hai aku ia i hookahi huaolelo i kuu haku i ke alii. I mai la kela, E hai mai
13And the woman said: Why hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God, and why hath the king spoken this word, to sin, and not bring home again his own exile?
13I aku la ka wahine, No ke aha la hoi oe i manao ia mea ku e i ko ke Akua poe kanaka? no ka mea, ua olelo mai ke alii ia mea, me he mea hewa la, i ka hoihoi ole mai o ke alii ia nei i ka mea ana i hookuke aku ai.
14We all die, and like waters that return no more, we fall down into the earth: neither will God have a soul to perish, but recalleth, meaning that he that is cast off should not altogether perish.
14No ka mea, he oiaio no e make kakou, a ua like me ka wai i haniniia ma ka honua, aole e hiki ke ukuhi hou ia: aole no ke Akua i lawe aku i kona ola, aka, ua noonoo kela i ka mea e lilo loa ole ai ka mea ana i hookuke aku ai.
15Now therefore I am come, to speak this word to my lord the king before the people. And thy handmaid said: I will speak to the king, it maybe the king will perform the request of his handmaid.
15Nolaula hoi, i kuu hiki ana mai e olelo aku i kuu haku i ke alii ma ia mea, no ka hoomakau ana mai a na kanaka ia'u: i iho la kau kauwawahine, E olelo aku no wau i ke alii; malia paha e hana mai ke alii e like me ka noi ana aku a kana kauwawahine.
16And the king hath hearkened to me to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of all that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
16No ka mea, e lohe mai no ke alii, i hoopakele oia i kana kauwawahine i ka lima o ke kanaka nana e hoolei aku ia maua pu me kuu keiki iwaho o ka noho ana o ke Akua.
17Then let thy handmaid say, that the word of the Lord the king be made as a sacrifice. For even as an angel of God, so is my lord the king, that he is neither moved with blessing nor cursing: wherefore the Lord thy God is also with thee.
17Alaila, i iho la kau kauwawahine, e lilo no ka olelo a kuu haku a ke alii i mea hoomaha: no ka mea, ua like kun haku ke alii me ka anela o ke Akua, i ka nana i ka pono a me ka hewa: nolaila, me oe pu auanei o Iehova o kou Akua.
18And the king answering, said to the woman: Hide not from me the thing that I ask thee. And the woman said to him: Speak, my lord the king.
18Alaila, olelo mai la ke alii, i mai la i ua wahine la, Mai huna oe ia'u, ea, i ka mea a'u e ninau aku nei ia oe. I aku la ka wahine, E olelo mai kuu haku ke alii ano.
19And the king said: Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? The woman answered, and said: By the health of thy soul, my lord, O king, it is neither on the left hand, nor on the right, in all these things which my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he commanded me, and he put all these words into the mouth of thy handmaid.
19I mai la ke alii, Aole anei ka lima o Ioaba pu me oe i neia mea? Olelo aku la ua wahine la, i aku la, Oiaio no, e kuu haku, e ke alii, aole e hiki i kekahi ke kapae aku ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema o kekahi mea a kuu haku a ke alii i olelo mai nei: o kau kauwa o Ioaba, oia ka i kauoha mai ia'u, a hahao mai la ia mau huaolelo a pau maloko o ka waha o kau kauwawahine.
20That I should come about with this form of speech, thy servant Joab, commanded this: but thou, my lord, O king, art wise, according to the wisdom of ail angel of God, to understand all things upon earth.
20Pela i hana iho ai o loaba i mea e loaa'i keia ano o ka olelo: a ua naauao ko'u haku, e like me ka naauao o ka anela o ke Akua, ma ka ike i na mea a pau o ka honua nei.
21And the king said to Joab: Behold I am appeased and have granted thy request: Go therefore and fetch back the boy Absalom.
21I aku la ke alii ia Ioaba, aia hoi, ua hana iho nei au i keia mea, e kii aku oe, a e hoihoi mai i ke kanaka opiopio ia Abesaloma.
22And Joab falling down to the ground upon his face, adored, and blessed the king: and Joab said: This day thy servant hath understood, that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king: for thou hast fulfilled the request of thy servant.
22Moe iho la o Ioaba ma ka honua ilalo kona alo, kulou iho la, a hoomaikai aku la i ke alii. I aku la o Ioaba, Ke ike nei au i keia la, ua loaa ia'u ke aloha imua o kou maka, e kuu haku, e ke alii, no ka mea, ua hooko mai ke alii i ka mea a kana kauwa i noi aku ai.
23Then Joab arose and went to Gessur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
23Ku ae la o Ioaba, a hele aku la i Gesura, a lawe mai la ia Abesaloma i Ierusalema.
24But the king said: Let him return into his house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned into his house, and saw not the king’s face.
24I aku la ke alii, E kipa ae ia i kona hale iho, aole ia e ike mai i kuu maka. A hoi ae la o Abesaloma i kona hale, aole i ike aku i na maka o ke alii.
25But in all Israel there was not a man so comely, and so exceedingly beautiful as Absalom: from the sole of the foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
25A iloko o ka Iseraela a pau, aole he kanaka e ae i mahalo nui ia e like me Abesaloma no kona maikai: mai ka poli wawae ona a hiki iluna i ka piko o kona poo, aohe ona kina iki.
26And when he polled his hair (now he was polled once a year, because his hair was burdensome to him) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred sicles, according to the common weight.
26Aia ako ia i kona poo, (no ka mea, i ka pau ana o kela makahiki, keia makahiki, ako ae la ia i ke oho; no ko kaumaha o ke oho maluna ona, nolaila ia i ako ia mea;) kaupaona iho la ia i ke oho o kona poo, elua haneri sekela, e like me Ka ke alii hookau ana.
27And there were born to Absalom three sons: and one daughter, whose, name was Thamar, and she was very beautiful.
27Ua hanau na Abesaloma ekolu keikikane, a hookahi kaikamahine, o Tamara kona inoa; he wahine maikai hoi ma kona helehelena.
28And Absalom dwelt two years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king’s face.
28Pela i noho ai o Abesaloma ma Ierusalema, elua makahiki okoa, aole hoi ia i ike aku i na maka o ke alii.
29He sent therefore to Joab, to send him to the king: but he would not come to him. And when he had sent the second time, and he would not come to him,
29Nolaila, kena aku la o Abesaloma e kii ia loaba, e hoouna aku ia ia e hele i ke alii; aole nae ia i hele mai io na la; a hoouna hou aku la ia, o ka lua ia o ke kii ana, aole hoi ia i hele mai.
30He said to his servants: You know the field of Joab near my field, that hath a crop of barley: go now and set it on fire. So the servants of Absalom set the corn on fire. And Joab’s servants coming with their garments rent, said: The servants of Absalom have set part of the field on fire.
30Alaila i aku la ia i kana poe kauwa, Aia ka mahinaai a loaba e kokoke ana i kuu wahi, a he bale kana ilaila; ou haele oukou e puhi i ke ahi. A puhi aku la na kauwa a Abesaloma i ua mahinaai la i ke ahi.
31Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom to his house, and said: Why have thy servants set my corn on fire?
31Alaila ku ae la o loaba, a hele mai io Abesaloma la i kona hale, i mai la ia ia, E heaha ka mea i puhi aku ai kau poe kauwa i kuu mahinaai i ke ahi.
32And Absalom answered Joab: I sent to thee beseeching thee to come to me, that I might send thee to the king, to say to him: Wherefore am I come from Gessur? it had been better for me to be there: I beseech thee therefore that I may see the face of the king: and if he be mindful of my iniquity, let him kill me.
32Olelo aku la o Abesaloma ia loaba, Aia hoi, ua hoouna aku la au iou la, me ka i ana aku, E hele mai ia nei, i hoouna aku ai au ia oe i ke alii, e i aku ia ia, Heaha ka mea i hoi mai nei au mai Gesura mai? E aho no wau e noho malaila a hiki i neia wa: ano hoi, e ae mai oe e ike aku au i na maka o ke alii; a ina he hewa iloko o'u, e pepehi mai keia ia'u.
33So Joab going in to the king, told him all: and Absalom was called for, and he went in to the king: and prostrated himself on the ground before him: and the king kissed Absalom.
33Alaila hele aku la o loaba i ke alii, a hai aku la ia ia: a hea mai la oia ia Abesaloma, a hele aku la ia i ke alii, a kulou iho la ia ma ka honua ilalo kona alo imua o ke alii; a honi mai la ke alii ia Abesaloma.
