JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1A HALA iki aku la o Davida mai kahi kiekie o ka puu aku, aia hoi, halawai mai la me ia o Ziba ke kauwa a Mepiboseta, me na hoki elua i hoeeia e na noho, a maluna iho o laua elua haneri pai berena, me na huiwaina maloo he haneri, me na ope huafiku maloo he haneri, a me kekahi huewaina.
1And when David was a little past the top, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and a hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
2Ninau aku la ke alii ia Ziba, I me aha keia mau mea ia oe? I mai la o Ziba, O na hoki, no na ohua o ke alii ia e holo ia; a o ka berena a me ka hua maloo, na na kanaka opiopio ia e ai ai; a o ka waina, no ka poe nawaliwali ia e inu ai ma ka waonahele.
2And the king said unto Ziba: 'What meanest thou by these?' And Ziba said: 'The asses are for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.'
3Ninau aku la ke alii, Auhea la ke keiki a kou haku? I aku la o Ziba i ke alii, Aia no e noho la ma Ierusalema: no ka mea, i aku la ia, I keia la e hoihoi mai ana ka ohana a Iseraela i ke aupuni o ko'u kupunakane no'u.
3And the king said: 'And where is thy master's son?' And Ziba said unto the king: 'Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem; for he said: To-day will the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.'
4Alaila, i mai la ke alii ia Ziba, Aia hoi, nou no na mea a pau i pili no Mepiboseta. I aku la o Ziba, Ke noi haahaa aku nei au ia oe, i loaa ia'u ke aloha imua o kou maka, e kuu haku, e ke alii e.
4Then said the king to Ziba: 'Behold, thine is all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth.' And Ziba said: 'I prostrate myself; let me find favour in thy sight, my lord, O king.'
5A hiki aku la o Davida ke alii i Bahurima, Aia hoi, puka mai la iwaho kekahi kanaka no ka ohana a Saula, o Simei kona inoa, o ke keiki a Gera; hele mai la ia iwaho, a kuamuamu mai la i kona hele ana mai.
5And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he came out, and kept on cursing as he came.
6Nou aku la ia i na pohaku ia Davida, a i na kauwa a ke alii a Davida: ma kona akau a ma kona hema ka poe kanaka a pau, a me ka poe koa a pau.
6And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David; and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7Penei ka Simei i olelo ai i kana kuamuamu ana, E puka oe iwaho, e puka oe iwaho, e ke kanaka koko, ke kanaka Beliala.
7And thus said Shimei when he cursed: 'Begone, begone, thou man of blood, and base fellow;
8Ua hoopai mai o Iehova maluna iho ou i ke koko a pau o ka ohana a Saula, nona kou wahi i nohoalii ai: a na haawi aku o Iehova i ke aapuni iloko o ka lima o Abesaloma o kau keiki: aia hoi oe maloko o kou kolohe, no ka mea, he kanaka koko oe.
8the LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son; and, behold, thou art taken in thine own mischief, because thou art a man of blood.'
9Alaila, i aku la o Abisai ke keiki a Zeruia i ke alii, No ke aha la e kuamuamu mai ai keia ilio make i kuu haku i ke alii? E hele aku paha wau i o, a e oki ae i kona poo.
9Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king: 'Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.'
10I mai la ke alii, Heaha ka'u ia olua, e na keiki a Zeruia? E kuamuamu mai no oia pela; no ka mea, ua olelo mai no o Iehova ia ia, e kuamuamu ia Davida. Owai hoi ke olelo aku, No ke aha la oe i hana'i pela?
10And the king said: 'What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? So let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him: Curse David; who then shall say: Wherefore hast thou done so?'
11I aku la o Davida ia Abisai a me kana poe kauwa a pau, Aia hoi ka'u keiki, ka mea i puka ae mailoko aku o'u, ua imi mai kela i kuu ola: e oiaio no hoi keia mamo a Beniamina. E waiho pela, e aho oia ke kuamuamu mai; no ka mea, ua olelo mai o Iehova ia ia.
11And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants: 'Behold, my son, who came forth of my body, seeketh my life; how much more this Benjamite now? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.
12Malia paha e nana mai o Iehova i kuu ehaeha, a e hoomaikai paha o Iehova ia'u no kana kuamuamu ana mai i keia la.
12It may be that the LORD will look on mine eye, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing of me this day.'
13A i ka hele ana o Davida a me na kanaka ona ma ke ala, hele aku la hoi o Simei ma ka aoao o ka puu e ku pono ana ia ia; a i kona hele ana, kuamuamu mai la ia, nou mai la i na pohaku ia ia, a hoolei mai la hoi i ka lepo.
13So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hill-side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
14Maluhiluhi iho la ke alii a me ka poe kanaka a pau me ia, a hoomaha iho la ilaila.
14And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there.
15Hele mai la o Abesaloma a me na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela i Ierusalema, a o Ahitopela kekahi me ia.
15And Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16A hiki aku la hoi o Husai no Areki, ka hoalauna o Davida io Abesaloma la, i aku la o Husai ia Abesaloma, E ola ke alii, e ola ke alii.
16And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom: 'Long live the king, long live the king.'
17I mai la o Abesaloma ia Husai, Oia anei kou aloha i kou hoalauna? Heaha hoi kau i hele ole aku ai me kou hoalauna?
17And Absalom said to Hushai: 'Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?'
18I aku la o Husai ia Abesaloma, Aole, o ka mea a Iehova, a o keia poe kanaka, a o na kanaka o ka Iseraela a pau e koho ai, nona no wau, a e noho pu au me ia.
18And Hushai said unto Absalom: 'Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
19Nawai la hoi au e hookauwa aku ai, ke ole ma ke alo o kana keiki? Me au i hookauwa aku ai ma ke alo o kou makuakane, pela hoi au e hookauwa aku ai ma Kou alo.
19And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.'
20Alaila, i mai la o Abesaloma ia Ahitopela, E kukakuka oukou i ka mea a kakou e hana aku ai.
20Then said Absalom to Ahithophel: 'Give your counsel what we shall do.'
21I aku la o Ahitopela ia Abesaloma, E komo aku oe iloko i na haiawahine a kou makuakane, ana i waiho ai e kiai i ka hale; a e lohe ka Iseraela a pau e hoowahawahaia oe e kou makuakane, alaila e ikaika ai na lima o ka poe a pau me oe.
21And Ahithophel said unto Absalom: 'Go in unto thy father's concubines, that he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that thou art abhorred of thy father; then will the hands of all that are with thee be strong.'
22Nolaila, kukulu lakou i haleole no Abesaloma maluna o ka hale; a komo aku la o Abesaloma maloko i na haiawahine a kona makuakane, imua o ka Iseraela a pau.
22So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel. —
23A o ka oleloao a Ahitopela i olelo aku ai ia mau la, ua like ia me ka ke Akua olelo a ke kanaka i ninau aku ai: pela no ka oleloao a pau a Ahitopela ia Davida a me Abesaloma.
23Now the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man inquired of the word of God; so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
