Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1MAHOPE iho o keia mea, ninau aku la o Davida ia Iehova, i aku la, E pii aku anei au i kekahi kulanakauhale o ka Iuda? I mai la o Iehova ia ia, E pii oe. I aku la o Davida, Ai la ihea kahi e pii aku ai au? I mai la kela, I Heberona.
1Some time later, David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go up to one of the towns of Judah?” “Go up,” the LORD answered. Then David asked, “Where should I go?” “To Hebron,” replied the LORD.
2Hele aku la o Davida ilaila, a me kana mau wahine elua, o Ahinoama no Iezereela, a me Abigaila, ka wahine a Nabala no Karemela.
2So David went there with his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel.
3Lawe pu aku la o Davida i na kanaka ona, ka poe i noho pu me ia, o kela kanaka keia kanaka me kona ohua: a noho iho la lakou ma na kulanakauhale o Heberona.
3David also took the men who were with him, each with his household, and they settled in the towns near Hebron.
4Hele mai la na kanaka o ka Iuda, a malaila lakou i poni ai ia ia i alii maluna o ka ohana a Iuda. Hai aku la hoi lakou ia Davida, i aku la, O na kanaka o Iabesa-gileada, ka poe nana i kanu ia Saula.
4Then the men of Judah came to Hebron, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, “It was the men of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul.”
5Hoouna aku la o Davida i na elele i kanaka o Iabesa-gileada, i aku la ia lakou, E alohaia mai oukou e Iehova, no ka mea, ua hana aku oukou i keia lokomaikai i ko oukou haku ia Saula, a ua kanu iho ia ia.
5So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead to tell them, “The LORD bless you, because you showed this kindness to Saul your lord when you buried him.
6Ano hoi, e hana mai o Iehova i ka lokomaikai a me ka oiaio ia oukou; owau no hoi e uku aku ia oukou i keia lokomaikai, no ka oukou hana ana i keia mea.
6Now may the LORD show you loving devotion and faithfulness, and I will also show you the same favor because you have done this.
7Nolaila hoi, e hooikaikaia ko oukou mau lima; i nui ke aho o oukou: no ka mea, ua make ko oukou haku o Saula, a ua poni mai ka ohana a Iuda ia'u i alii maluna o lakou.
7Now then, be strong and courageous, for though Saul your lord is dead, the house of Judah has anointed me as their king.”
8Aka, o Abenera ke keiki a Nera, ke alii koa no ko Saula poe kaua, lalau aku la oia ia Iseboseta ke keikikane a Saula, a lawe aku la ia ia i Mahanaima.
8Meanwhile, Abner son of Ner, the commander of Saul’s army, took Saul’s son Ish-bosheth, moved him to Mahanaim,
9A hoalii aku la ia ia maluna o ka Gileada, a maluna o ka Asera, maluna hoi o ko Iezereela, a maluna o ka Eperaima, a maluna o ka Beniamina, a maluna hoi o ka Iseraela a pau.
9and made him king over Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, and Benjamin—over all Israel.
10He kanaha na makahiki o Iseboseta ke keiki a Saula, i kona wa i noho ai i alii, a elua mau makahiki oia i nohoalii ai. Aka, hahai aku la ka ohana a Iuda mamuli o Davida.
10Saul’s son Ish-bosheth was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned for two years. The house of Judah, however, followed David.
11A o ka manawa i nohoalii ai o Davida ma Heberona maluna o ka ohana a Iuda, ehiku ia mau makahiki a me na malama keu eono.
11And the length of time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
12Haele mai la o Abenera ke keiki a Nera me na kanaka o Iseboseta ke keiki a Saula, mai Mahanaima mai a Gibeona.
12One day Abner son of Ner and the servants of Ish-bosheth son of Saul marched out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13Hele aku la hoi o Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia, me na kanaka o Davida, a halawai pu ae la lakou ma ka punawai o Gibeona; a noho iho la lakou, o kekahi poe ma keia aoao o ka punawai, a o kela poe ma kela aoao o ka punawai.
13So Joab son of Zeruiah, along with the servants of David, marched out and met them by the pool of Gibeon. And the two camps took up positions on opposite sides of the pool.
14Olelo mai la o Abenera ia Ioaba, E ku ae na kanaka opionio, a e paani imua o kakou. I aku la o Ioaba, E ku ae lakou.
14Then Abner said to Joab, “Let us have the young men get up and compete before us.” “Let them get up,” Joab replied.
15Alaila, ku ae la a hele aku la na mea he umikumamalua o ka Beniamina no Iseboseta ke keiki a Saula, a me na kanaka o Davida he umikumamalua.
15So they got up and were counted off—twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth son of Saul, and twelve for David.
16Lalau aku la kela mea keia mea i kona hoapaio ma ke poo, a hou aku la i kona pahikaua maloko o ka aoao o kona hoapaio, a haule pu iho la lakou a pau: nolaila, ua kapaia kela wahi, Heleka-hazurima; aia no i Gibeona.
16Then each man grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his sword into his opponent’s side, and they all fell together. So this place, which is in Gibeon, is called Helkath-hazzurim.
17A he kaua nui no ia la: a ua lukuia o Abenera me na kanaka o ka Iseraela imua o na kanaka o Davida.
17The battle that day was intense, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by the servants of David.
18Ilaila na keikikane ekolu a Zeruia, o Ioaba, o Abisai, a o Asahela: a he mama na wawae o Asahela me he dia la o ka nahelehele.
18The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was fleet of foot like a wild gazelle,
19Alualu aku la o Asahela ia Abenera: a i ka hele ana, aole ia i kapae ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema, mahope o Abenera.
19and he chased Abner, not turning to the right or to the left in his pursuit.
20Nana ae la o Abenera mahope ona, i ae la, O Asahela anei oe? I mai la kela, Owau no.
20And Abner glanced back and said, “Is that you, Asahel?” “It is,” Asahel replied.
21I aku la o Abenera ia ia, E haliu ae oe ma kou lima akau paha, ma kou hema paha, e lalau aku i kekahi kanaka opiopio, a e lawe nou i kona kahiko ana. Aole nae i manao o Asahela e haliu ae mai ke alualu ana ia ia.
21So Abner told him, “Turn to your right or to your left, seize one of the young men, and take his equipment for yourself.” But Asahel would not stop chasing him.
22Olelo hou aku la o Abenera ia Asahela, E haliu ae oe mai o'u aku nei; no ke aha la au e pepehi iho ai ia oe a ka honua? Pehea la hoi e nana pono aku ai kuu maka ia Ioaba kou kaikuaana?
22Once again, Abner warned Asahel, “Stop chasing me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How could I show my face to your brother Joab?”
23Aka, hoole aku la ia, aole e haliu ae: nolaila, hou aku la o Abenera i ke kumu o ka ihe malalo iho o ka lima o kona iwi aoao, a puka aku la ka ihe ma kona kua: hina iho la ia ilaila, a make iho la ma ia wahi: a o na mea a pau i hiki aku ma kahi i hina iho ai o Asahela a make, ku malie iho la lakou.
23But Asahel refused to turn away; so Abner thrust the butt of his spear into his stomach, and it came out his back, and he fell dead on the spot. And every man paused when he came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died.
24Alualu aku la hoi o Ioaba a me Abisai ia Abenera: a napoo iho la ka la i ko lakou hiki ana aku i ka puu o Ama imua o Gia, ma ka aoao o ka waonahele o Gibeona.
24But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. By sunset, they had gone as far as the hill of Ammah opposite Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
25Hoakoakoa pu ae la na mamo a Beniamina mamuli o Abenera, a lilo ae la i hookahi poe, a ku iho la maluna pono o ka puu.
25The Benjamites rallied to Abner, formed a single unit, and took their stand atop a hill.
26Alaila, kahea mai la o Abenera ia Ioaba, i mai la, E ai mau no anei ka pahikaua? Aole anei oe e ike, he mea awaawa no ia ma ka hopena? Pehea la ka loihi, a kena aku oe i na kanaka e uhoi aku mai ke alualu ana ae i ko lakou poe hoahanau?
26Then Abner called out to Joab: “Must the sword devour forever? Do you not realize that this will only end in bitterness? How long before you tell the troops to stop pursuing their brothers?”
27I aku la o Ioaba, Ma ko ke Akua ola ana, ina aole oe i olelo mai, ina ua hoi aku kela kanaka keia kanaka i kakahiaka nei mai ke alualu ana aku i kona hoahanau.
27“As surely as God lives,” Joab replied, “if you had not spoken up, the troops would have continued pursuing their brothers until morning.”
28Alaila puhi aku la o Ioaba i ka pu, a ku malie iho la na kanaka a pau, aole i alualu hou aku ia lakou, aole hoi i kaua hou aku lakou.
28So Joab blew the ram’s horn, and all the troops stopped; they no longer pursued Israel or continued to fight.
29Haele aku la o Abenera me na kanaka ona ma kahi papu, a hele aku la ma kela aoao o Ioredane, a haele ae la ma Biterona a pau, a hiki aku i Mahanaima.
29And all that night Abner and his men marched through the Arabah. They crossed the Jordan, marched all morning, and arrived at Mahanaim.
30Hoi hou aku la o Ioaba mai ke alualu ana ia Abenera: a hoakoakoa ae la i na kanaka a pau, ua nalo iho na kanaka o Davida he umikumamaiwa a me Asahela.
30When Joab returned from pursuing Abner, he gathered all the troops. In addition to Asahel, nineteen of David’s servants were missing,
31Aka, ua pepehi aku na kanaka o Davida i ka Beniamina a me na kanaka o Abenera, a make iho la na kanaka ekolu haneri a me kanaono.
31but they had struck down 360 Benjamites who were with Abner.
32Lawe ae la lakou ia Asahela, a kanu iho la ia ia iloko o ka hale kupapau o kona makuakane i Betelehema. Haele aku la o Ioaba me na kanaka ona ia po a pau, a hiki aku la i Heberona i ka wanaao.
32Later, they took Asahel and buried him in his father’s tomb in Bethlehem. Then Joab and his men marched all night and reached Hebron at daybreak.
