< 撒母耳記上 11 >
1 大約過了一個月,阿孟人納哈士上來圍困基肋阿得的雅貝士,雅貝士所有的居民對納哈士說:「你與我們立約,我們就服事你。」
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa Naʻasi ko e tangata ʻAmoni, pea ne te u tau ki Sepesi-Kiliati: pea pehē ʻe he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati, “Fai hoʻo fuakava mo kimautolu, pea te mau tauhi kiate koe.”
2 阿孟人納哈士回答他們說:「在這條件下,我纔與你們立約:就是剜出你們各人的右眼,我要藉此羞辱全以色列。」
Pea pehē ʻe Naʻasi ko e tangata ʻAmoni kiate kinautolu, “ʻI he meʻa ni pe te u fai ʻae fuakava mo kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke u kapeʻi homou mata toʻomataʻu kotoa pē ʻe tuku ia ko e meʻa manuki ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē.”
3 雅貝士的長老回答他說:「請讓我們休戰七天,我們派人到以色列全境去,如果沒有人來救我們,我們就向你投降。
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻo Sepesi kiate ia, “Ke ke kātaki ʻakimautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, koeʻuhi ke mau fekau ʻemau talafekau ki he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea pehē, kapau ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ke fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu, te mau ʻalu atu kiate koe.”
4 使者到了撒烏耳的基貝亞,就把這事講給民眾聽,民眾遂放聲大哭。
Pea naʻe hoko ʻae kau talafekau ki Kipea ʻo Saula, pea fakahā ʻae ongoongo ki he telinga ʻoe kakai: pea naʻe hiki honau leʻo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo tangi.
5 那時撒烏耳正跟著牛從田間回來,便問說:「民眾有什麼事,如此號淘大哭﹖」人們就把雅貝士人的話講給他聽。
Pea vakai, naʻe muimui mai ʻa Saula ki he fanga manu, mei he ngoue; pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula, “Ko e hā ʻoku tangi ai ʻae kakai?” Pea naʻa nau fakahā kiate ia ʻae ongoongo ʻoe kau tangata ʻo Sepesi.
6 撒烏耳一聽說這些話,上主的神便降在他身上,遂勃然大怒,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua kia Saula ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻae ngaahi ongoongo ni, pea tupu ai ʻene ʻita ʻo lahi.
7 立即牽了一對牛來,剖分成塊,託使者分送到以色列全境說:「凡不隨從撒烏耳如撒慕爾出征的,也必這樣對待他的牛! 」上主的驚嚇降在民眾身上,因而他們好像一個人一齊出征。
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae fanga pulu ʻe ua, pea tuʻutuʻu ke iiki, pea fekau ke ʻave ʻo tufaki ki he ngaahi potu kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he nima ʻoe kau tangata fekau, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai haʻu ʻo muimui ʻia Saula mo Samuela, ʻe fai pehē pe ki heʻene fanga pulu.” Pea naʻe tō ki he kakai ʻae manavahē kia Sihova, pea naʻa nau hiki loto taha pe kituaʻā.
8 撒烏耳在貝則克檢閱了他們;以色列人共三十萬,猶大人三萬。
Pea ʻi heʻene lau ʻakinautolu ʻi Piseki, naʻe toko tolu kilu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli pea toko tolu mano ʻae fānau ʻa Siuta.
9 撒烏耳對來的使者說:「你們這樣對基肋阿得的雅貝士人說:明天太陽正熱時,救援就必達到你們那裏。」使者便回去,向雅貝士人報告,他們都很喜歡。
Pea naʻa nau pehē ki he kau talafekau naʻe haʻu, Ke mou lea pehē ki he kau tangata ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati, “Ko e ʻapongipongi, ʻo feʻunga mo e mafana ʻoe laʻā, te mou maʻu ʻae tokoni.” Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tangata fekau ʻo fakahā ia ki he kau tangata ʻo Sepesi: pea naʻa nau fiefia ai.
10 雅貝士人遂對阿孟人說:「明天我們向你們投降,你們看著怎樣好,就怎樣對待我們罷!
Ko ia naʻe tala ai ʻe he kau tangata ʻo Sepesi, “Te mau ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu ʻapongipongi, pea te mou fai kiate kimautolu ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku matalelei kiate kimoutolu.”
11 第二天撒烏耳把民眾分作三隊,在黎明以前衝入了阿孟人營中,擊殺他們一直到日中最熱的時候;剩下的人都逃散了,以至沒有兩人在一起。
Pea hoko ki he ʻapongipongi, pea pehē, naʻe fokotuʻu vahe tolu ʻe Saula ʻae kakai; pea naʻa nau hoko ki he lotolotonga ʻoe tau ʻi he lakanga leʻo pongipongi, ʻo taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻAmoni ʻo aʻu ki he pupuha ʻoe ʻaho: pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu naʻe toe, naʻe ʻikai tuʻu fakataha ha toko ua.
12 民眾於是對撒慕爾說:「誰曾說過:撒烏耳豈能作我們的君王﹖把這些人交出來,讓我們處死他們! 」
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kia Samuela, ko hai ia naʻe pehē, “ʻE pule koā ʻa Saula kiate kimautolu? Omi ʻae kau tangata, koeʻuhi ke mau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.”
13 撒烏耳回答說:「今天不可處死任何人,因為今天上主在以色列中施行了救恩。」
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula, “ʻE ʻikai ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻe tāmateʻi he ʻaho ni: he kuo fai ʻae fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻi ʻIsileli he ʻaho ni.”
14 撒慕爾以後對民眾說:「來,我們到基耳加耳去,在那裏重新建立王國。」
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela ki he kakai, “Haʻu ke tau ō ki Kilikali, ō fakamaʻu ke maʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻi ai.”
15 民眾便都去了基耳加耳,在那裏於上主面前立撒烏耳為王,並給上主奉獻了和平祭;撒烏耳同全體以色列人舉行了盛大的盛會。
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki Kilikali; pea naʻa nau fakanofo ʻi ai ʻa Saula ke tuʻi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi Kilikali; pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ko e feilaulau fakalelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; pea naʻe fiefia lahi ʻi ai ʻa Saula mo e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
