1 Samuel 14
1 Then on a day Ionathan the sonne of Saul sayde vnto the yong man that bare his armour, Come and let vs goe ouer towarde the Philistims garison, that is yonder on the other side, but he tolde not his father.
Pea naʻe ai ʻae ʻaho, naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Saula ki he talavou naʻe toʻo ʻene mahafutau, “Haʻu ke ta ō ki he kolo tau ʻae kau Filisitia ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu tukuʻuta na.” Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne tala ia ki heʻene tamai.
2 And Saul taried in the border of Gibeah vnder a pomegranate tree, which was in Migron, and the people that were with him, were about sixe hundreth men.
Pea naʻe tatali ʻa Saula ʻi he potu ngataʻanga ʻo Kipea ʻi he lolo ʻakau ko e pomikanite ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Mikiloni: pea ko e kakai naʻe ʻiate ia ko e kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau nai;
3 And Ahiah the sonne of Ahitub, Ichabods brother, the sonne of Phinehas, the sonne of Eli, was the Lordes Priest in Shiloh, and ware an Ephod: and the people knewe not that Ionathan was gone.
Pea ko ʻAhia, ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupe, ko e tokoua ʻo Ikapote, ko e foha ʻo Finiasi, ko e foha ʻo Ilai, ko e taulaʻeiki ʻa Sihova ʻi Sailo, ʻoku ne ʻai ʻae ʻefoti. Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he kakai kuo ʻalu ʻa Sonatane.
4 Nowe in the way whereby Ionathan sought to go ouer to the Philistims garison, there was a sharpe rocke on the one side, and a sharpe rocke on the other side: the name of the one was called Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
Pea ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ʻaluʻanga, ʻaia naʻe fie ʻalu ai ʻa Sonatane ki he kolo tau ʻae kau Filisitia, naʻe ai ʻae maka māsila ʻi he potu ʻe taha, mo e maka māsila ʻi he potu ʻe taha: pea ko hono hingoa ʻoe taha ko Posese, pea ko e hingoa ʻoe taha ko Sene.
5 The one rocke stretched from the North towarde Michmash, and the other was from the South toward Gibeah.
Ko e potu ʻoe taha naʻe hangatonu atu ki Mikimasi ki he tokelau, pea tonga ʻae taha ʻo hangatonu ki Kipea.
6 And Ionathan saide to the yong man that bare his armour, Come, and let vs goe ouer vnto the garison of these vncircumcised: it may be that the Lord will worke with vs: for it is not hard to the Lord to saue with many, or with fewe.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sonatane ki he talavou naʻe toʻo ʻene mahafutau, “Haʻu ke ta ō atu ki he kolo tau ʻae kau taʻekamu ni: ʻe pehē nai, ʻe ngāue ʻa Sihova maʻa kitaua: he ʻoku ʻikai faingataʻa kia Sihova ke fakamoʻui ʻi he tokolahi, pe ʻi he tokosiʻi.”
7 And he that bare his armour, saide vnto him, Doe all that is in thine heart: goe where it pleaseth thee: beholde, I am with thee as thine heart desireth.
Pea naʻa pehē ʻae toʻo mahafutau kiate ia, “Fai ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho loto: tafoki koe; vakai, ʻoku ou ʻiate koe ʻo hangē ko ho loto.”
8 Then said Ionathan, Beholde, we goe ouer vnto those men, and will shewe our selues vnto them.
Pea pehē ai ʻa Sonatane, “Vakai, te ta ō atu ki he kau tangata, pea ke ta fakahā ʻakitaua kiate kinautolu.
9 If they say on this wise to vs, Tarie vntill we come to you, then we will stand still in our place, and not goe vp to them.
Kapau tenau pehē mai kiate kitaua, Mo tatali ke ʻoua ke mau ʻalu atu kiate kimoua; pea te ta tuʻumaʻu ʻi hota potu, pea ʻe ʻikai te ta ō hake kiate kinautolu.
10 But if they say, Come vp vnto vs, then we will goe vp: for the Lord hath deliuered them into our hande: and this shall be a signe vnto vs.
Pea kapau tenau lea pehē, Mo ō hake kiate kimautolu; pea ta ō hake: he kuo tuku ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki hota nima: pea ko e fakaʻilonga ia kiate kitaua.”
11 So they both shewed themselues vnto the garison of the Philistims: and the Philistims said, See, the Ebrewes come out of the holes wherein they had hid themselues.
Pea naʻa na fakahā fakatouʻosi pe ʻakinaua ki he kolo tau ʻae kau Filisitia: pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau Filisitia, “Vakai ʻoku ʻalu atu ʻae kakai Hepelū mei he ngaahi luo naʻa nau toitoi ʻi ai ʻakinautolu.”
12 And the men of the garison answered Ionathan, and his armour bearer, and said, Come vp to vs: for we will shewe you a thing. Then Ionathan said vnto his armour bearer, Come vp after me: for the Lord hath deliuered them into the hand of Israel.
Pea naʻe lea ʻae kau tangata ʻoe kolo tau kia Sonatane mo ʻene toʻo mahafutau, ʻo pehē, “Mo ō hake kiate kimautolu, pea te mau fakahā ha meʻa kiate kimoua.” Pea pehē ʻa Sonatane ki hono hoa tau, “ʻAlu hake ʻo muimui ʻiate au: he kuo tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻo ʻIsileli.”
13 So Ionathan went vp vpon his hands and vpon his feete, and his armour bearer after him: and some fell before Ionathan, and his armour bearer slewe others after him.
Pea naʻe kaka hake ʻa Sonatane ʻo piki ʻaki hono nima, mo hono vaʻe, pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻa hono hoa tau: pea naʻa nau tō ki lalo ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sonatane; pea naʻe angimui ʻa hono hoa tau ʻo fai ʻae tāmate foki.
14 So the first slaughter which Ionathan and his armour bearer made, was about twentie men, as it were within halfe an acre of land which two oxen plowe.
Pea ko e fuofua tā naʻe fai ʻe Sonatane mo hono hoa tau, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko uofulu nai naʻe tō ʻi he potu kelekele, ko e vaeua ʻoe ʻeka ʻe taha, ʻaia ʻe faʻa keli ʻe he tauluaʻi pulu ʻe taha.
15 And there was a feare in the hoste, and in the field, and among all the people: the garison also, and they that went out to spoyle, were afraid themselues: and the earth trembled: for it was striken with feare by God.
Pea naʻe tetetete lahi ʻae tau ʻi he ngoue, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē: ko e kolo tau mo e kau maumau naʻa nau tetetete foki, pea ngalulu mo e kelekele: ko ia ko e ngalulu lahi ʻaupito ia.
16 Then the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Beniamin sawe: and beholde, the multitude was discomfited, and smitten as they went.
Pea naʻe sio atu ʻe he kau tangata leʻo ʻa Saula ʻi Kipea ʻo Penisimani; pea vakai, naʻe matukutuku ʻae kakai ʻo mole, pea naʻa nau ʻalu pe mo fetāʻaki pe ʻakinautolu.
17 Therefore saide Saul vnto the people that were with him, Search nowe and see, who is gone from vs. And when they had nombred, beholde, Ionathan and his armour bearer were not there.
Pea pehē ai ʻe Saula ki he kakai naʻe ʻiate ia, “Ko eni, Mou lau, pea vakai pe ko hai kuo ʻalu meiate kitautolu.” Pea hili ʻenau lau, vakai naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ʻa Sonatane mo hono hoa tau.
18 And Saul said vnto Ahiah, Bring hither the Arke of God (for the Arke of God was at that time with the children of Israel)
Pea pehē ʻe Saula kia ʻAhia, “ʻOmi ki heni ʻae puha [ʻoe fuakava ]ʻoe ʻOtua.” He naʻe ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae puha [tapu ]ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he kuonga ko ia.
19 And while Saul talked vnto the Priest, the noyse that was in the hoste of the Philistims, spred farther abroade, and encreased: therefore Saul said vnto the Priest, Withdraw thine hand.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he kei alea ʻa Saula mo e taulaʻeiki, naʻe tupu pe ʻae longoaʻa ʻi he tau ʻae kakai Filisitia: pea fakaʻaʻau ʻo lahi, pea pehē ʻa Saula ki he taulaʻeiki, “Taʻofi ho nima.”
20 And Saul was assembled with all the people that were with him, and they came to the battell: and behold, euery mans sworde was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.
Pea ko Saula mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia naʻa nau fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻonau hoko atu ki he tau: pea vakai, ko e heletā ʻae tangata kotoa pē kuo hiki hake ki hono tokoua, pea naʻe ai ʻae maveuveu lahi ʻaupito.
21 Moreouer, the Ebrewes that were with the Philistims beforetime, and were come with them into all partes of the hoste, euen they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Ionathan.
Pea koeʻuhi ko e kau Hepelū naʻe muʻaki nofo ki he kakai Filisitia, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu hake mo kinautolu ki he ʻapitanga mei he ngaahi potu fonua takatakai, naʻa nau liliu foki ʻo kau ki he kakai ʻIsileli naʻe ʻia Saula mo Sonatane.
22 Also all the men of Israel which had hid themselues in mount Ephraim, when they heard, that the Philistims were fled, they followed after them in the battell.
Pea mo e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa nau fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ʻi heʻenau ongoʻi kuo hola ʻae kakai Filisitia, naʻe tuli mālohi ʻekinautolu foki kiate kinautolu ʻi he tau.
23 And so the Lord saued Israel that day: and the battell continued vnto Beth-auen.
Ko ia naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tau ʻo hoko ki Pete-ʻAveni.
24 And at that time the men of Israel were pressed with hunger: for Saul charged the people with an othe, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth foode till night, that I may be auenged of mine enemies: so none of the people tasted any sustenance.
Pea naʻe mamahi lahi ʻae kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: he naʻe fokotuʻu ʻae tapu ʻa Saula ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “Malaʻia ʻae tangata ʻaia ʻe kai ha meʻa he ʻaho ni kaeʻoua ke efiafi, koeʻuhi ke u lavaʻi ʻae totongi ki hoku ngaahi fili.” Ko ia naʻe ʻikai kamata ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi he kakai ha meʻakai.
25 And all they of the land came to a wood, where hony lay vpon the ground.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ki he potu vao ʻakauʻia; pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae hone ʻi he funga kelekele.
26 And the people came into the wood, and beholde, the hony dropped, and no man mooued his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the othe.
Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae kakai ki he vao ʻakau, naʻe toʻi ʻae honi; ka naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe ʻai hono nima ki hono ngutu; he naʻe manavahē ʻae kakai ki he fuakava.
27 But Ionathan heard not when his father charged the people with the othe: wherefore he put foorth the ende of the rod that was in his hand, and dipt it in an hony combe, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes receiued sight.
Ka ko Sonatane naʻe ʻikai fanongo ia ki he fekau fakapapau ʻa ʻene tamai ki he kakai: ko ia naʻa ne ʻai ʻae muʻa tokotoko naʻe ʻi hono nima, ʻo ʻai ia ki hono toʻi ʻoe honi, pea ʻai hono nima ki hono ngutu; pea naʻe māmangia ai hono mata.
28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father made the people to sweare, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth sustenance this day: and the people were faint.
Pea lea ai ʻae tokotaha ʻi he kakai, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe lea fakapapau ʻa hoʻo tamai mo fuakava ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, ‘Malaʻia ʻae tangata ʻaia te ne kai meʻakai he ʻaho ni.’” Pea naʻe vaivai ʻae kakai.
29 Then said Ionathan, My father hath troubled the land: see nowe howe mine eyes are made cleare, because I haue tasted a litle of this honie:
Pea pehē ai ʻa Sonatane, “Kuo fai fakamamahi ʻa ʻeku tamai ki he fonua: ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, vakai, ki hono fakamaama ki hoku mata, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku kamata ʻae meʻa siʻi ʻi he hone ni.
30 Howe much more, if the people had eaten to day of the spoyle of their enemies which they found? for had there not bene nowe a greater slaughter among the Philistims?
Kae huanoa, ʻo ka ne kai lahi ʻe he kakai he ʻaho ni ʻi he vete ʻa honau fili kuo nau ʻilo? Ka ne pehē, ʻikai kuo lahi hake ʻaupito ʻae teʻia kuo hoko ki he kakai Filisitia?”
31 And they smote the Philistims that day, from Michmash to Aiialon: and the people were exceeding faint.
Pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia mei Mikimasi ʻo aʻu ki ʻAsaloni: pea naʻe vaivai lahi ʻae kakai.
32 So the people turned to the spoile, and tooke sheepe, and oxen, and calues, and slewe them on the ground, and the people did eate them with the blood.
Pea naʻe ʻoho atu ʻae kakai ki he vete, ʻo toʻo ʻae fanga sipi, mo e fanga pulu, mo e kosi, ʻo tāmateʻi ia ʻi he kelekele: pea naʻe kai ia ʻe he kakai mo e toto.
33 Then men tolde Saul, saying, Beholde, the people sinne against the Lord, in that they eate with the blood. And he saide, Ye haue trespassed: roule a great stone vnto me this day.
Pea naʻa nau tala kia Saula, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fai angahala ʻae kakai kia Sihova, koeʻuhi ʻi heʻenau kai mo e toto.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, Kuo mou fai angahala: filifilihi mai ha maka lahi kiate au he ʻaho ni.
34 Againe Saul said, Goe abroade among the people, and bid them bring me euery man his oxe, and euery man his sheepe, and slay them here, and eate and sinne not against the Lord in eating with the blood. And ye people brought euery man his oxe in his hand that night, and slew them there.
Pea pehē ʻe Saula, Mou vahevahe ʻakimoutolu ʻo ʻalu ki he kakai, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻomi kiate au taki taha ʻae tangata ʻene pulu, mo e tangata taki taha ʻene sipi, ʻo tāmateʻi ʻi heni, pea kai; pea ʻoua naʻa fai angahala kia Sihova ʻi hoʻomou kai mo e toto.” Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he tangata taki taha kotoa pē ʻi he pō ko ia ʻa ʻene pulu pea tāmateʻi ia ʻi ai.
35 Then Saul made an altar vnto the Lord, and that was the first altar that he made vnto the Lord.
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Saula ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova; pea ko e ʻuluaki feilaulauʻanga ia naʻa ne langa kia Sihova.
36 And Saul saide, Let vs goe downe after the Philistims by night, and spoyle them vntill the morning shine, and let vs not leaue a man of them. And they saide, Doe whatsoeuer thou thinkest best. Then saide the Priest, Let vs drawe neere hither vnto God.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula, “Ke tau ʻalu hifo ʻo tuli poʻuli ki he kakai Filisitia ʻo maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki he maʻa ʻae ʻaho, pea ʻoua naʻa tau tuku ke toe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha.” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ke ke fai ʻaia ʻoku mata lelei kiate koe.” Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki, “Ke tau ʻunuʻunu atu ni ki he ʻOtua.”
37 So Saul asked of God, saying, Shall I goe downe after ye Philistims? wilt thou deliuer them into the hands of Israel? But he answered him not at that time.
Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻa Saula ki he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “ʻE lelei ʻeku ʻalu hifo ʻo tuli ki he kau Filisitia?” Pea te ke tuku ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo ʻIsileli? Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne talia ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
38 And Saul said, All ye chiefe of the people, come ye hither, and knowe, and see by whom this sinne is done this day.
Pea pehē ʻe Saula, “Mou ʻunuʻunu mai ki heni ʻae kau matāpule kotoa pē ʻoe kakai: pea mou ʻilo ʻo vakai pe kuo [tau ]angahala ʻi he ha nai he ʻaho ni.
39 For as the Lord liueth, which saueth Israel, though it be done by Ionathan my sonne, he shall dye the death. But none of all the people answered him.
Koeʻuhi, hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻoku ne fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli, kapau ʻoku ʻi hoku foha ko Sonatane ko e moʻoni ʻe mate ia.” Ka naʻe ʻikai ai ha tangata ʻi he kakai kotoa pē naʻe lea kiate ia.
40 Then he saide vnto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Ionathan my sonne will be on the other side. And the people saide vnto Saul, Doe what thou thinkest best.
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē, “Ke ʻi he potu ʻe taha kimoutolu, pea ko au mo hoku foha ko Sonatane te ma ʻi he potu ʻe taha.” Pea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē kia Saula, “Ke ke fai ʻaia ʻoku mata lelei kiate koe.”
41 Then Saul said vnto the Lord God of Israel, Giue a perfite lot. And Ionathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped.
Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Saula kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, “Fakahā ʻae tonuhia. Pea naʻe moʻua ʻa Saula mo Sonatane, ka naʻe hao ʻae kakai”
42 And Saul saide, Cast lot betweene me and Ionathan my sonne. And Ionathan was taken.
Pea pehē ʻe Saula, “Fai ʻae talotalo koeʻuhi ko au mo hoku foha ko Sonatane. Pea naʻe moʻua ʻa Sonatane.”
43 Then Saul said to Ionathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Ionathan tolde him, and said, I tasted a litle hony with the ende of the rod, that was in mine hand, and loe, I must die.
Pea pehē ʻe Saula kia Sonatane, “Fakahā mai pe ko e hā ia kuo ke fai.” Pea talaange ʻe Sonatane kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Naʻaku kamata pe ki he hone siʻi ʻaki ʻae muʻa tokotoko naʻe ʻi hoku nima, pea vakai, te u mate ai.”
44 Againe Saul answered, God doe so and more also, vnlesse thou die the death, Ionathan.
Pea pehē ʻe Saula kiate ia, “Ke fai pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au mo lahi hake foki: he ko e moʻoni te ke mate Sonatane.”
45 And the people said vnto Saul, Shall Ionathan die, who hath so mightily deliuered Israel? God forbid. As the Lord liueth, there shall not one heare of his head fall to the ground: for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people deliuered Ionathan that he dyed not.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kia Saula, “ʻE mate ʻa Sonatane, ʻaia kuo ne fai ʻae fakamoʻui lahi pehē ni ʻi ʻIsileli? Ke taʻofi ʻe he ʻOtua: hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova,” ʻe ʻikai tō ki he kelekele hano tuʻoni louʻulu ʻe taha; he naʻe ngāue ia mo e ʻOtua he ʻaho ni. Ko ia naʻe fakahaofi ʻa Sonatane ʻe he kakai, ke ʻoua naʻa mate ia.
46 Then Saul came vp from the Philistims: and the Philistims went to their owne place.
Pea naʻe tuku ʻe Saula ʻene tuli ʻae kau Filisitia; pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau Filisitia ki honau potu ʻonautolu.
47 So Saul helde the kingdome ouer Israel, and fought against all his enemies on euery side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the Kings of Zobah, and against the Philistims: and whithersoeuer he went, he handled them as wicked men.
Ko ia naʻe lavaʻi ʻe Saula ʻae puleʻanga ki ʻIsileli, pea tauʻi hono ngaahi fili ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻo Moape, pea ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea ki ʻItomi, pea ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Sopa, pea ki he kakai Filisitia: pea ko e potu naʻa ne tafoki ʻo ʻalu ki ai naʻa ne fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi ai.
48 He gathered also an hoste and smote Amalek, and deliuered Israel out of the handes of them that spoyled them.
Pea naʻe fakakātoa ʻae tau, pea taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻAmaleki, pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli mei he nima ʻokinautolu naʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu.
49 Nowe the sonnes of Saul were Ionathan, and Ishui, and Malchishua: and the names of his two daughters, the elder was called Merab, and the yonger was named Michal.
Pea ko eni ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Saula, ko Sonatane, mo Isui, mo Malikisua: pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono ongo ʻofefine, ko Melapi ko e ʻuluaki ia, mo Mikali ko e kimui ia:
50 And the name of Sauls wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of his chiefe captaine was Abner the sonne of Ner, Sauls vncle.
Pea ko e hingoa ʻoe uaifi ʻo Saula ko ʻAhinoami, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻAhimeasi: pea ko e hingoa ʻoe ʻeiki ʻo ʻene tau ko ʻApina, ko e foha ʻo Nea, ko e tuʻasina ʻo Saula.
51 And Kish was Sauls father: and Ner the father of Abner was the sonne of Abiel.
Pea ko e tamai ʻa Saula ʻa Kisi; pea ko Nea ko e tamai ʻa ʻApina, ko e foha ia ʻo ʻApieli.
52 And there was sore warre against the Philistims all the dayes of Saul: and whomsoeuer Saul sawe to be a strong man, and meete for the warre, he tooke him vnto him.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae tau fakamamahi ki he kakai Filisitia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Saula: pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Saula ki ha tangata mālohi, mo ha tangata toʻa, naʻa ne fili ia maʻana.
