2 Samuel 1
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1AND IT came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
1MAHOPE iho o ka make ana o Saula, a ua hoi hou mai o Davida mai ka luku ana i ka Amaleka, a noho iho o Davida elua la i Zikelaga;
2it came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head; and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and prostrated himself.
2A i ke kolu o ka la, aia hoi, he kanaka i hele mai, mai ke kahua kaua, mai Saula mai, me kona kapa i haehaeia, a me ka lepo maluna o kona poo; a hiki aku la ia io Davida la, moe iho la ia ma ka honua, a hoomaikai aku la.
3And David said unto him: 'From whence comest thou?' And he said unto him: 'Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.'
3I aku la o Davida ia ia, Mai hea mai oe i hele mai nei? I mai la kela ia ia, Ua pakele mai nei au mai ke kahua kaua mai o ka Iseraela.
4And David said unto him: 'How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me.' And he answered: 'The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.'
4I aku la o Davida ia ia, Pehea kela mea? Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai ia'u. I mai la kela, Ua hee aku la na kanaka mai ke kaua aku, a ua haule na kanaka he nui loa a make: ua make hoi o Saula a me kana keikikane o Ionatana.
5And David said unto the young man that told him: 'How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?'
5I aku la o Davida i ke kanaka opiopio nana i hai mai ia ia, Pehea kau ike ana, ua make o Saula a me Ionatana kana keiki?
6And the young man that told him said: 'As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and the horsemen pressed hard upon him.
6I mai la ua kanaka opiopio la nana i hai mai ia ia, A i ko'u hiki wale ana aku maluna o ka puu o Gileboa, aia hoi, e kalele ana o Saula maluna iho o kona ihe; a hahai ikaika mai la na halekaa a me na hoohololio mahope ona.
7And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered: Here am I.
7Alawa ae la ia i hope, ike mai la ia'u, a kahea mai la ia'u: i aku la au, Eia no wau.
8And he said unto me: Who art thou? And I answered him: I am an Amalekite.
8Ninau mai kela ia'u, Owai oe? Olelo aku la au, He Amaleka wau.
9And he said unto me: Stand, I pray thee, beside me, and slay me, for the agony hath taken hold of me; because my life is just yet in me.
9I hou mai la ia ia'u, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ku oe maluna iho o'u, a e pepehi mai ia'u; no ka mea, ke kau mai nei ka poniuniu maluna iho o'u, a ke koe nei ke ola okoa iloko o'u.
10So I stood beside him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.'
10A ku iho la au maluna ona, a pepehi iho la ia ia; no ka mea, ua ike pono au, aole ia e ola mahope iho o kona haule ana: lawe ae la no au i ka papale alii maluna o kona poo, a me ke kupee ma kona lima, a ua halihali mai nei au ia mau mea i kuu haku.
11Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him.
11Alaila, lalau iho la o Davida i kona kapa, a haehae iho la, a pela no hoi na kanaka a pau me ia.
12And they wailed, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
12Kanikau aku la lakou me ka uwe aku, a hookeai iho la lakou a hiki i ke ahiahi, no Saula a no Ionatana kana keiki, a no ka poe kanaka o Iehova, a no ka ohana a Iseraela; no ka mea, ua haule lakou i ka pahikaua.
13And David said unto the young man that told him: 'Whence art thou?' And he answered: 'I am the son of an Amalekite stranger.'
13Ninau aku la o Davida i ke kanaka opiopio nana i hai mai ia ia, Nohea oe? I mai la kela, He keiki au na kekahi malihini, he Amaleka.
14And David said unto him: 'How wast thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?'
14I aku la o Davida ia ia, Heaha kou mea i makau ole ai i ka o aku i kou lima e pepehi i ka Iehova mea i poniia?
15And David called one of the young men, and said: 'Go near, and fall upon him.' And he smote him that he died.
15Kahea aku la o Davida i kekahi kanaka opiopio, i aku la, E neenee aku oe, a e lele aku maluna ona. Pepehi aku la kela ia ia, a make iho la ia.
16And David said unto him: 'Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying: I have slain the LORD'S anointed.'
16I aku la o Davida ia ia, Maluna o kou poo iho ke koko ou: no ka mea, ua ahewa mai la kou waha iho ia oe, i ka i ana, Ua pepehi no au i ka Iehova mea i poniia.
17And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son,
17Kanikau aku la o Davida i keia kanikau ana ia Saula a ia Ionatana kana keiki.
18and said — To teach the sons of Judah the bow. Behold, it is written in the book of Jashar:
18(Kauoha aku la hoi ia e ao i na mamo a Iuda i ke kakaka: aia hoi ua kakauia maloko o ka buke a Iasera.)
19Thy beauty, O Israel, upon thy high places is slain! How are the mighty fallen!
19O ka nani o ka Iseraela, ua pepehiia oia maluna o na wahi kiekie ou; Kai ka haule ana o ka poe ikaika?
20Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
20Mai hai aku ia mea ma Gata, Mai kala aku hoi ia ma na alanui o Asekelona; O hauoli na kaikamahine a ka poe Pilisetia, O haanui hoi na kaikamahine a ka poe okipoepoe ole ia.
21Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain upon you, neither fields of choice fruits; for there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.
21E na puu o Gileboa, aole make hau, Aole hoi he ua maluna iho o oukou; Aole hoi na mahinaai o na hua mua: Ilaila kahi i hooleiia'ku ai ka palekaua o ka mea ikaika, Ka palekaua o Saula i poni ole ia i ka aila.
22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
22Mai ke koko ae o ka poe i make, A mai ka momona ae o ka poe ikaika, Aole i hoi ihope ke kakaka o Ionatana, Aole hoi i hoi nele mai ka pahikaua a Saula.
23Saul and Jonathan, the lovely and the pleasant in their lives, even in their death they were not divided; they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
23Ua aloha no, a ua oluolu hoi o Saula a o Ionatana i ko laua ola ana, A i ko laua make ana, aole laua i hookaawaleia. Ua oi aku ko laua mama i ko na aeto, A me ko laua ikaika i ko na liona.
24Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
24E na kaikamahine o ka Iseraela, e kanikau aku oukou ia Saula, Nana oukou i hoaahu aku i ke kapa ula, a me na mea nani: Nana i hoonani i ko oukou kapa i ke gula.
25How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan upon thy high places is slain!
25Kai ka haule ana o ka poe ikaika iwaena o ke kaua ana! E Ionatana, ua pepehiia oe maluna o na wahi kiekie ou.
26I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan; very pleasant hast thou been unto me; wonderful was thy love to me, passing the love of women.
26Ua ehaeha loa au nou, e kuu hoahanau, e Ionatana: He oluolu loa oe ia'u, he kupanaha kou aloha ia'u, E oi mai ana i ke aloha o na wahine.
27How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
27Kai ka haule ana o ka poe ikaika, A me ka pau ana o na mea kaua!
