1 Kings 2
1 Then the dayes of Dauid drewe neere that he should die, and hee charged Salomon his sonne, saying,
Pea ko eni naʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Tevita ke ne pekia ai; pea naʻa ne tukutala kia Solomone ko hono ʻAlo, ʻo pehē,
2 I go the way of all the earth: be strong therefore, and shew thy selfe a man,
“ʻOku ou ʻalu au ʻi he hala ʻo māmani kotoa pē: ko ia ke ke mālohi koe, pea ke fai ʻo ngalingali tangata:
3 And take heede to the charge of the Lord thy God, to walke in his wayes, and keepe his statutes, and his commandements, and his iudgements, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and in euery thing whereunto thou turnest thee,
Pea ke tauhi ki he fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke ʻeveʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi hala, pea ke fai ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻene ngaahi fekau, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, mo ʻene fakamoʻoni kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese, koeʻuhi ke ke monūʻia ai ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke fai, pea ʻi he potu fulipē te ke ʻalu ki ai:
4 That the Lord may confirme his worde which hee spake vnto me, saying, If thy sonnes take heede to their way, that they walke before me in trueth, with all their hearts, and with all their soules, thou shalt not (sayd he) want one of thy posteritie vpon the throne of Israel.
Koeʻuhi ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene folofola ʻaia naʻa ne lea ʻaki koeʻuhi ko au, ʻo pehē, ‘Kapau ʻe tokanga ʻe hoʻo fānau ki honau hala, ke ʻaʻeva ʻi hoku ʻao ʻi he moʻoni ʻaki ʻa honau loto kotoa mo honau laumālie kotoa, (naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, ) ʻe ʻikai te ke masiva tangata koe ke nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.’
5 Thou knowest also what Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captaines of the hostes of Israel, vnto Abner the sonne of Ner, and vnto Amasa the sonne of Iether: whome he slewe, and shed blood of battell in peace, and put the blood of warre vpon his girdle that was about his loynes, and in his shooes that were on his feete.
Pea ʻoku ke ʻilo foki, ʻaia naʻe fai kiate au ʻe Soape ko e tama ʻa Seluia, mo ia naʻa ne fai ki he ongo ʻeiki ʻe toko ua ʻoe kautau ʻo ʻIsileli, kia ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea, pea kia ʻAmasa ko e foha ʻo Seteli, ʻaia naʻa ne tāmateʻi, ʻo ne lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe tau lolotonga ʻae melino, ʻo ne unu ʻi he toto ʻoe tau ʻa hono nonoʻo naʻe noʻotaki ʻaki hono kongaloto, pea mo ʻene topuvaʻe ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono vaʻe.
6 Doe therefore according to thy wisdome, and let thou not his hoare head go downe to the graue in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Ko ia fai ʻo fakatatau mo hoʻo poto, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke ʻalu hifo ʻa hono ʻuluhinā, ki he faʻitoka ʻi he melino. (Sheol h7585)
7 But shew kindnes vnto the sonnes of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among them that eate at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom thy brother.
Ka ke fakahā ʻae ʻofa ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Pasilai ko e tangata Kiliati, pea tuku ke nau ʻiate kinautolu ʻe kai mei hoʻo keinangaʻanga: he naʻa nau fai pehē kiate au ʻi heʻeku hola koeʻuhi ko ʻApisalomi ko ho taʻokete.
8 And beholde, with thee is Shimei the sonne of Gera, the sonne of Iemini, of Bahurim, which cursed mee with an horrible curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but hee came downe to meete me at Iorden, and I sware to him by the Lord, saying, I will not slay thee with the sword.
Pea vakai, “ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻa Simi ko e foha ʻo Kela, ko e tangata Penisimani mei Pahulimi, ʻaia naʻe kape kiate au ʻi he kape lahi ʻi he ʻaho ʻaia naʻaku ʻalu ai ki Mehanemi: ka naʻa ne ʻohifo kiate au ke ma fetaulaki ki Sioatani, pea naʻaku fuakava kiate ia ʻia Sihova, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te u tāmateʻi koe ʻaki ʻae heletā.’
9 But thou shalt not count him innocent: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to doe vnto him: therefore thou shalt cause his hoare head to goe downe to the graue with blood. (Sheol h7585)
Ka ko eni, ʻoua naʻa ke lau ia ko e taʻehalaia: he ko e tangata poto koe, pea ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻae meʻa ʻoku totonu ke ke fai kiate ia; ka ke ʻohifo ʻe koe ʻa hono ʻuluhinā ki he faʻitoka mo e toto.” (Sheol h7585)
10 So Dauid slept with his fathers, and was buried in the citie of Dauid.
Pea pehē, naʻe mohe ʻa Tevita mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai ʻene putu ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita.
11 And the dayes which Dauid reigned vpon Israel, were fourtie yeeres: seuen yeeres reigned he in Hebron, and thirtie and three yeeres reigned he in Ierusalem.
Pea ko e kuonga naʻe pule ai ʻa Tevita ki ʻIsileli ko e taʻu ʻe fāngofulu: ko e taʻu ʻe fitu naʻa ne pule ai ʻi Hepeloni, pea ko e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma tolu naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema.
12 Then sate Salomon vpon the throne of Dauid his father, and his kingdome was stablished mightily.
Pea naʻe toki nofo ʻa Solomone ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻene tamai ko Tevita pea naʻe fakatuʻumaʻu ʻaupito ʻa hono puleʻanga.
13 And Adonijah the sonne of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Salomon: and she saide, Commest thou peaceably? And hee said, Yea.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻAtunaisa ko e tama ʻa Hakiti kia Patisepa, ko e faʻē ʻa Solomone. Pea naʻa ne pehē mai ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku ke haʻu fakamelino pe?” Pea naʻe pehē atu ʻe ia, “Ko e melino pe.”
14 He said moreouer, I haue a sute vnto thee. And she sayd, Say on.
Naʻa ne pehē foki ʻe ia, “ʻOku ai ha meʻa ʻoku ou fie lea ai kiate koe.” Pea naʻa ne pehē atu, “Ke ke lea pe.”
15 Then he said, Thou knowest that the kingdome was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reigne: howbeit the kingdome is turned away, and is my brothers: for it came to him by the Lord.
Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo naʻe ʻoʻoku ʻae puleʻanga, pea naʻe hanga mai kiate au ʻae mata kotoa pē ʻi ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke u hoko ʻo pule: ka ko eni kuo liliu ʻae puleʻanga, pea kuo hoko ia ki hoku tokoua: he naʻe ʻoʻona ia meia Sihova.
16 Nowe therefore I aske thee one request, refuse me not. And she said vnto him, Say on.
Pea ko eni ko e meʻa pe taha ʻoku ou kole meiate koe, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakaʻikai mai.” Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ke ke lea pe.”
17 And he sayd, Speake, I pray thee, vnto Salomon ye King, (for he will not say thee nay) that he giue me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke lea kia Solomone ko e tuʻi (he koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻikai mai kiate koe, ) ke ne foaki mai ʻa ʻApisaki ko e fefine Sunemi ke ma mali.”
18 And Bath-sheba sayd, Well, I will speake for thee vnto the King.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Patisepa, “ʻOku lelei te u lea maʻau ki he tuʻi.”
19 Bath-sheba therefore went vnto King Salomon, to speake vnto him for Adonijah: and the King rose to meete her, and bowed himselfe vnto her, and sate downe on his throne: and he caused a seate to be set for the Kings mother, and she sate at his right hand.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Patisepa ki he tuʻi ko Solomone ke lea kiate ia maʻa ʻAtunaisa. “Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi ke fetaulaki kiate ia, pea naʻa ne punou kiate ia, mo ne nofo hifo ki hono nofoʻanga fakatuʻi, pea naʻa ne fekau ke te u ha nofoʻa maʻae faʻē ʻae tuʻi; pea naʻe nofo ia ki hono nima toʻomataʻu.
20 Then she sayd, I desire a small request of thee, say me not nay. Then the King sayde vnto her, Aske on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole meiate koe ʻae meʻa siʻi pe taha; ʻoua naʻa ke pehē mai ʻikai.” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ke ke fai pe hoʻo kole, ʻa ʻeku faʻē: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u pehē atu ʻikai.”
21 She sayd then, Let Abishag the Shunammite be giuen to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Tuku ke ʻatu ʻa ʻApisaki ko e fefine Sunemi kia ʻAtunaisa koho tokoua ke na mali.”
22 But King Salomon answered and sayd vnto his mother, And why doest thou aske Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? aske for him the kingdome also: for he is mine elder brother, and hath for him both Abiathar the Priest, and Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah.
Pea naʻe talaange ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone ki heʻene faʻē, ʻo pehē, “Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke kole ai ʻa ʻApisaki ko e fefine Sunemi maʻa ʻAtunaisa? Kole foki maʻana ʻae puleʻanga; he ko hoku taʻokete ia; ʻio, maʻana, pea mo ʻApaiata ko e taulaʻeiki, pea maʻa Soape ko e tama ʻa Seluia.”
23 Then King Salomon sware by the Lord, saying, God doe so to me and more also, if Adoniiah hath not spoken this worde against his owne life.
Pea naʻe toki fuakava ai ʻa Solomone ʻia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Ke fai pehē kiate au ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo lahi hake foki, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai mate ʻa ʻAtunaisa koeʻuhi ko ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni.
24 Now therefore as ye Lord liueth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of Dauid my father, who also hath made me an house, as he promised, Adoniiah shall surely die this day.
Pea ko ia, ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ne fakamālohiʻi au, ʻo ne hiki hake au ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻeku tamai ko Tevita, pea kuo ne fokotuʻu ha fale moʻoku, ʻo hangē ko ʻene talaʻofa, pea ʻe mate tāmateʻi ʻa ʻAtunaisa he ʻaho ni.”
25 And King Salomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and hee smote him that he dyed.
Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata; pea naʻa ne hoko atu kiate ia pea naʻa ne mate ai.
26 Then the King sayd vnto Abiathar the Priest, Go to Anathoth vnto thine owne fieldes: for thou art worthy of death: but I will not this day kill thee, because thou barest the Arke of the Lord God before Dauid my father, and because thou hast suffered in all, wherein my father hath bene afflicted.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia ʻApaiata ko e taulaʻeiki, “ʻAlu ko e ki ʻAnatoti, ki ho potu fonua ʻoʻou; he ʻoku totonu ke ke mate koe; ka ʻe ʻikai te u tāmateʻi koe ʻi he kuonga ni, koeʻuhi naʻa ke fua ʻae puha tapu ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, pea koeʻuhi naʻa ke mamahi koe ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe mamahi ai ʻa ʻeku tamai.”
27 So Salomon cast out Abiathar from being Priest vnto the Lord, that he might fulfill the wordes of the Lord, which he spake against the house of Eli in Shiloh.
Ko ia naʻe kapusi ai ʻa ʻApaiata ʻe Solomone mei heʻene [ngāue ]fakataulaʻeiki kia Sihova; koeʻuhi ke ne fakamoʻoni ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ki he fale ʻo Ilai ʻi Sailo.
28 Then tidings came to Ioab: (for Ioab had turned after Adoniiah, but he turned not after Absalom) and Ioab fled vnto the Tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold on the hornes of the altar.
Pea naʻe toki ʻomi ʻa hono ongoongo kia Soape: he naʻe liliu ʻa Soape ke muimui kia ʻAtunaisa, ka naʻe ʻikai muimui ia kia ʻApisalomi. Pea naʻe hola ʻa Soape ki he fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne puke atu ki he nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.
29 And it was tolde king Salomon, that Ioab was fled vnto the Tabernacle of the Lord, and beholde, he is by the altar. Then Salomon sent Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, saying, Goe, fall vpon him.
Pea naʻe fakahā ia ki he tuʻi ko Solomone ʻo pehē, kuo hola ʻa Soape ki he fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova; pea vakai, kuo ofi atu ia ki he feilaulauʻanga. Pea naʻe toki fekauʻi ʻe Solomone ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAlu, ʻo taaʻi ia,”
30 And Benaiah came to the Tabernacle of the Lord, and sayd vnto him, Thus sayth the King, Come out. And he sayde, Nay, but I will die here. Then Benaiah brought the King worde againe, saying, Thus sayd Ioab, and thus he answered me.
Pea naʻe hoko atu ʻa Penaia ki he fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe he tuʻi, Ke ke tuʻu mai.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE ʻikai; ka te u mate pe ʻi heni.” Pea naʻe toe ʻomi hono tala ʻe Penaia ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe pehē ʻae lea ʻa Soape, pea naʻe pehē ni ʻa ʻene talia au.”
31 And the King sayde vnto him, Doe as he hath sayd, and smite him, and bury him, that thou mayest take away the blood, which Ioab shed causelesse, from me and from the house of my father.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ke ke fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene lau, pea ke taaʻi ia, mo tanu; koeʻuhi ke ke ʻave ai ʻae toto taʻehalaia ʻaia naʻe lilingi ʻe Soape, meiate au, pea mei he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai.
32 And the Lord shall bring his blood vpon his owne head: for he smote two men more righteous and better then he, and slew them with the sword, and my father Dauid knew not: to wit, Abner the sonne of Ner, captaine of the hoste of Israel, and Amasa the sonne of Iether captaine of the hoste of Iudah.
Pea ʻe tuku ʻe Sihova ʻa hono toto ki hono ʻulu ʻoʻona, ʻaia naʻe teʻia ʻae ongo tangata naʻe māʻoniʻoni mo lelei hake ʻiate ia, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻakinaua ʻaki ʻae heletā, ka naʻe taʻeʻilo ki ai ʻa ʻeku tamai ko Tevita; ʻio, ʻa ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea, ko e ʻeiki pule ki he kautau ʻo ʻIsileli, mo ʻAmasa, ko e foha ʻo Seteli, ko e ʻeiki pule ki he kautau ʻo Siuta.
33 Their blood shall therefore returne vpon the head of Ioab, and on the head of his seede for euer: but vpon Dauid, and vpon his seede, and vpon his house, and vpon his throne shall there be peace for euer from the Lord.
Ko ia ʻe foki atu ai ʻa hona toto ki he ʻulu ʻo Soape, pea ki he ʻulu ʻo hono hako ʻo taʻengata: ka ko Tevita, pea ki hono hako ʻoʻona, pea ki hono fale, pea ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, ʻe ʻi ai ʻae melino meia Sihova, ʻo taʻengata.”
34 So Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada went vp, and smote him, and slewe him, and he was buryed in his owne house in the wildernesse.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, pea naʻa ne hoko atu kiate ia, mo ne tāmateʻi ia: pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona ʻi he toafa.
35 And the King put Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada in his roume ouer the hoste: and the King set Zadok the Priest in the roume of Abiathar.
Pea naʻe tuku ʻe he tuʻi ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata ke fetongi ia ʻi he pule ki he kautau: pea naʻe tuku ʻe he tuʻi ʻa Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki ke ne fetongi ʻa ʻApaiata.
36 Afterwarde the King sent, and called Shimei, and sayde vnto him, Buylde thee an house in Ierusalem, and dwell there, and depart not thence any whither.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ne ui mai ʻa Simi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Langa ʻe koe moʻou ha fale ʻi Selūsalema, pea nofo ai, pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu atu mei ai ki ha potu kehe.
37 For that day that thou goest out, and passest ouer the riuer of Kidron, knowe assuredly, that thou shalt dye the death: thy blood shall be vpon thine owne head.
He ko e moʻoni, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te ke ʻalu atu, mo ke Lakaatu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Kitiloni, ke ke ʻilo fakapapau te ke mate moʻoni ai: ʻe ʻi ho ʻulu ʻoʻou pe ho toto.”
38 And Shimei sayd vnto the King, The thing is good: as my lord the King hath sayd, so wil thy seruant doe. So Shimei dwelt in Ierusalem many dayes.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Simi ki he tuʻi, “ʻOku lelei ʻae lea ko eni: ʻo hangē ko ia kuo lea ʻaki ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻe pehē ʻae fai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.” Pea naʻe nofo fuoloa ʻa Simi ʻi Selūsalema.
39 And after three yeres two of the seruants of Shimei fled away vnto Achish sonne of Maachah King of Gath: and they tolde Shimei, saying, Behold, thy seruants be in Gath.
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻosi ʻae taʻu ʻe tolu naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe hola ʻae ongo tamaioʻeiki ʻa Simi kia ʻAkisi ko e foha ʻo Meaka ko e tuʻi ʻo Kati. Pea naʻa nau fakahā ange kia Simi, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, kuo ʻi Kati ʻa hoʻo ongo tamaioʻeiki.”
40 And Shimei arose, and sadled his asse, and went to Gath to Achish, to seeke his seruantes: and Shimei went, and brought his seruants from Gath.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Simi, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae hekaʻanga ki heʻene ʻasi, pea ʻalu ia ki Kati kia ʻAkisi ke kumi ki heʻene ongo tamaioʻeiki: pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Simi, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa ʻene ongo tamaioʻeiki mei Kati.
41 And it was tolde Salomon, that Shimei had gone from Ierusalem to Gath, and was come againe.
Pea naʻe fakahā kia Solomone, kuo ʻalu ʻa Simi mei Selūsalema ki Kati, pea kuo toe liu mai.
42 And the King sent and called Shimei, and sayde vnto him, Did I not make thee to sweare by the Lord, and protested vnto thee, saying, That day that thou goest out, and walkest any whither, knowe assuredly that thou shalt dye the death? And thou saydest vnto mee, The thing is good, that I haue heard.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ne ui mai ʻa Simi, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻIkai naʻaku fekauʻi koe ke ke fuakava ʻia Sihova, pea u lea mamafa kiate koe, ʻo pehē, Ke ke ʻilo fakapapau, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te ke ʻalu atu, mo ʻeveʻeva mamaʻo ki ha potu, ke ke mate moʻoni ai? Pea naʻa ke pehē mai kiate au, ‘ʻOku lelei ʻae lea kuo u fanongo ki ai.’
43 Why then hast thou not kept the othe of the Lord, and the commandement wherewith I charged thee?
Ko ia ko e hā kuo ʻikai ai te ke fai ki he fuakava ʻa Sihova, mo e fekau ʻaia kuo u tukupau kiate koe?
44 The King sayde also to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickednes whereunto thine heart is priuie, that thou diddest to Dauid my father: the Lord therefore shall bring thy wickednesse vpon thine owne head.
Naʻe pehē foki ʻe he tuʻi kia Simi, ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae kovi kotoa pē kuo fufū ʻi ho loto, ʻaia naʻa ke fai kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai: ko ia foki ʻe fakafoki ai ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo kovi ki ho ʻulu ʻoʻou;
45 And let King Salomon be blessed, and the throne of Dauid stablished before the Lord for euer.
Pea ʻe fakamonūʻia ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone, pea ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo Tevita ʻo taʻengata.”
46 So the King comanded Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada: who went out and smote him that he dyed. And the kingdome was established in the hand of Salomon.
Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi kia Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata; pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia, pea naʻa ne taaʻi ia ke ne mate. Pea naʻe fakamālohi ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he nima ʻo Solomone.
