Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1HOOUNA mai la o Iehova ia Natana io Davida la: hele mai la ia io na la, i mai la ia ia, Elua mau kanaka ma kekahi kulanakauhale; ua waiwai kekahi, a ua ilihune kekahi.
1And the Lord sent Nathan to David: and when he was come to him, he said to him: There were two men in one city, the one rich, and the other poor.
2He nui loa hoi na ohana hipa a me na ohana bipi a ke kanaka waiwai:
2The rich man had exceeding many sheep and oxen.
3Aka, na ke kanaka ilihune, hookahi wale no keikihipa wahine uuku ana i kuai ai a hanai iho ai: noho pu iho la ia me ia a me na keiki ana; ai iho la ia i kana ai, a inu hoi ma kona kiaha, a moe iho la ia ma kona poli, a me he kaikamahine la ia nana.
3But the poor man had nothing at all but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up, and which had grown up in his house together with his children, eating of his bread, and drinking of his cup, and sleeping in his bosom: and it was unto him as a daughter.
4A hele mai la he kanaka hele i ua kanaka waiwai la, a aua iho la ia ke lawe i ko kana ohana hipa a me kana ohana bipi e kalua na ua kanaka la i hele mai io na la; aka, kii aku la ia i ke keikihipa a ke kanaka ilihune, a kalua iho la na ke kanaka i hele mai io na la.
4And when a certain stranger was come to the rich man, he spared to take of his own sheep and oxen, to make a feast for that stranger, who was come to him, but took the poor man’s ewe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
5Huhu loa aku la o Davida i ua kanaka la; i aku la oia ia Natana, Ma ke ola ana o Iehova, he oiaio no e make ke kanaka nana i hana ia mea.
5And David’s anger being exceedingly kindled against that man, he said to Nathan: As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this is a child of death.
6A e hoihoi pa-ha aku ia i ke keikihipa, no ka hana ana ia mea, a no ka mea, aohe ona aloha.
6He shall restore the ewe fourfold, because he did this thing, and had no pity.
7I aku la o Natana ia Davida, O oe no ia kanaka: Penei ka Iehova ke Akua no ka Iseraela i olelo mai ai, Ua poni aku no au ia oe i alii raaluna o ka Iseraela, a ua hoopakele hoi au ia oe i ka lima o Saula:
7And Nathan said to David: Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee from the hand of Saul,
8A haawi aku la au i ka hale o kou haku nou, a me na wahine a kou haku iloko o kou poli, a haawi aku la hoi au i ka ohana o ka Iseraela a me ka Iuda nou: a ina he uuku keia mau mea, alaila e haawi aku hoi au nau, i kela mau mea, a i keia mau mea.
8And gave thee thy master’s house and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and Juda: and if these things be little, I shall add far greater things unto thee.
9Heaha hoi kau i hoowahawaha ai i ke kanawai o Iehova, e hana i ka hewa imua o kona maka? Ua pepehi ae oe ia Uria ka Heta me ka pahikaua, a ua lawe oe i kana wahine i wahine nau; a ua pepehi i ke kane me ka pahikaua a ka poe mamo a Amona.
9Why therefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord, to do evil in my sight? Thou hast killed Urias the Hethite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10No ia mea hoi, aole loa e kaawale aku ka pahikaua mai kou ohana aku; no ka mea, ua hoowahawaha mai oe ia'u, a ua lawe oe i ka wahine a Uria ka Heta i wahine nau.
10Therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Urias the Hethite to be thy wife.
11Penei ka Iehova i olelo mai ai, Eia hoi, e hoala auanei au i ka ino ku e ia oe maloko o kou hale, a e lawe au i kau mau wahine imua o kou maka, a e haawi aku ia lakou na kou hoalauna, a e moe ia me kau mau wahine imua o keia la.
11Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thy own house, and I will take thy wives before thy eyes I and give them to thy neighhour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12No ka mea, ua hana malu oe i kau; aka, e hana au i keia mea imua o ka Iseraela a pau, a imua hoi o ka la.
12For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and in the sight of the sun.
13I aku la o Davida ia Natana, Ua hana hewa wau ia Iehova. I mai la o Natana ia Davida, Ua kala aku hoi o Iehova i kou hewa; aole oe e make.
13And David said to Nathan: I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David: The Lord also hath taken away thy sin: thou shalt not die.
14Aka, no ka mea, ma keia hana ana au, ua loaa i ka poe enemi o Iehova ke kumu e olelo hoino ai, he oiaio no e make ke keiki i hanau mai nau.
14Nevertheless, because thou hast given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, for this thing, the child that is born to thee, shall surely die.
15Hoi aku la o Natana i kona hale. Hahau mai la o Iehova i ke keiki a ka wahine a Uria i hanau mai ai na Davida, a mai nui iho la ia.
15And Nathan returned to his house. The Lord also struck the child which the wife of Urias had borne to David, and his life was despaired of.
16Nolaila, nonoi aku la o Davida i ke Akua no ke keiki: hookeai iho la o Davida, komo aku la, a moe iho la ma ka honua a ao ka po.
16And David besought the Lord for the child: and David kept a fast, and going in by himself lay upon the ground.
17Ku ae la na lunakahiko o kona hale, hele aku la io na la e hoala ia ia mai ka honua ae: aole ia i ae aku, aole hoi i ai i ka ai me lakou.
17And the ancients of his house came, to make him rise from the ground: but he would not, neither did he eat meat with them.
18A i ka hiku o ka la, make iho la ke keiki. Makau iho la na kauwa a Davida e hai aku ia ia, ua make ke keiki; i ae la lakou, Aia i ke ola ana o ke keiki, olelo aku la kakou ia ia, aole ia i hoolohe mai i ko kakou leo: he oiaio no, e hana eha oia ia ia iho, ke hai aku kakou ia ia, ua make ke keiki.
18And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David feared to tell him, that the child was dead. For they said: Behold when the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how much more will he afflict himself if we tell him that the child is dead?
19A ike ae la o Davida i ka hamumumu a na kauwa ana, ike iho la o Davida, ua make ke keiki: nolaila i aku la o Davida i kana mau kauwa, Ua make anei ke keiki? I mai la lakou, Ua make.
19But when David saw his servants whispering, he understood that the child was dead: and he said to his servants: Is the child dead? They answered him: He is dead.
20Alaila, ku ae la o Davida mai ka honua aku, auau iho la, a hamo iho la i ka aila, aahu iho la ia ia i ka lole hou, hele aku la i ka hale o Iehova, a hoomana aku la. Alaila hoi mai la ia i kona hale: a kena aku la ia, a kau mai la lakou i ka ai imua ona, a ai iho la ia.
20Then David arose from the ground, and washed and anointed himself: and when he had changed his apparel, he went into the house of the Lord: and worshipped, and then he came into his own house, and he called for bread, and ate.
21Alaila, i aku la kana mau kauwa ia ia. Heaha keia au i hana iho nei? hookeai iho la oe me ka uwe i ke keiki i kona wa e ola ana; a make iho ke keiki, ua ala ae oe a ai iho i ka ai.
21And his servants said to him: What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive, but when the child was dead, thou didst rise up, and eat bread.
22I mai la kela, A e ola ana ke keiki, hookeai iho la au me ka uwe: i iho la au, Malama paha e aloha mai ke Akua ia'u i ola ke keiki.
22And he said: While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept for him: for I said: Who knoweth whether the Lord may not give him to me, and the child may live?
23Ano hoi, ua make ia: no ke aha hoi au e hookeai ai? E hiki anei ia'u ke hoihoi mai ia ia? Owau ke hele aku io na la, aka, aole ia e hoi hou mai io'u nei.
23But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Shall I be able to bring him back any more? I shall go to him rather: but he shall not return to me.
24Hooluolu aku la o Davida ia Bateseba i kana wahine; komo aku la ia iloko io na la, a moe me ia: a hanau mai la ia i keikikane, a kapa aku la kela i kona inoa, o Solomona; a aloha mai la o Iehova ia ia.
24And David comforted Bethsabee his wife, and went in unto her, and slept with her: I and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
25Hoouna mai la ia i ke kaula ia Natana, a kapa mai la ia i kona inoa o Iedidia, no Iehova.
25And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name, Amiable to the Lord, because the Lord loved him.
26Kaua aku la o Ioaba ia Raba o na mamo a Amona, a hoopio mai la i ke kulanakauhale alii.
26And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and laid close siege to the royal city.
27Hoouna mai la o Ioaba i na elele io Davida la, i mai la, E, ua kana aku no wau ia Raba, a ua hoopio iho i ke kulanakauhale wai.
27And Joab sent messengers to David, saying: I have fought against Rabbath, and the city of waters is about to be taken.
28Ano hoi, e hoakoakoa pu mai oe i na kanaka e koe, e kaua aku i ke kulanakauhale, a e hoopio ia wahi; o pio auanei ke kulanakauhale ia'u, a e kaheaia ko'u inoa maluna ona.
28Now therefore gather thou the rest of the people together, and besiege the city and take it: lest when the city shall be wasted by me, the victory be ascribed to my name.
29Hoakoakoa pu ae la o Davida i na kanaka a pau, a hele aku la i Raba, kaua aku la ia, a hoopio iho la ia wahi.
29Then David gathered all the people together, and went out against Rabbath: and after fighting, he took it.
30Lawe ae la hoi ia i ka papale o ko lakou alii, mailuna o kona poo, ma ke kaupaona ana, he talena gula ia, me na pohaku makamae, a ua kauia maluna o ke poo o Davida. A lawe mai la ia i ka waiwai pio o ke kulanakauhale he nui loa.
30And he took the crown of their king from his head, the weight of which was a talent of gold, set with most precious stones, and it was put upon David’s head, and the spoils of the city which were very great he carried away.
31Lawe ae la hoi oia i na kanaka maloko, a kau iho la ia lakou malalo o na pahiolo, a malalo o na mea hao oioi, a malalo hoi o na koilipi hao, a hoohele aku la hoi ia lakou mawaena o ka umu pohakuula: pela ia i hana aku ai i na kulanakauhale a pau i na mamo a Amona. A hoi aku la o Davida a me na kanaka a pau i Ierusalema.
31And bringing forth the people thereof he sawed them, and drove over them chariots armed with iron: and divided them with knives, and made them pass through brickkilns: so did he to all the cities of the children of Ammon: and David returned, with all the army to Jerusalem.
