< 1 Samuel 17 >

1 Nowe the Philistims gathered their armies to battell, and came together to Shochoh, which is in Iudah, and pitched betweene Shochoh and Azekah, in the coast of Dammim.
Pea naʻe tānaki ʻe he kakai Filisitia ʻa ʻenau ngaahi tau ke tau, pea naʻe kātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻi Soko ʻaia ʻoku ʻo Siuta, ʻonau ʻapitanga ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Soko mo ʻAseka ʻi ʻEfesi-Tamemi.
2 And Saul, and the men of Israel assembled, and pitched in the valley of Elah, and put themselues in battell araie to meete the Philistims.
Pea kuo kātoa fakataha ʻa Saula mo e kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻonau ʻapitanga ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Ila, ʻonau fakanofonofo ʻae tau ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia.
3 And the Philistims stoode on a mountaine on the one side, and Israel stoode on a mountaine on the other side: so a valley was betweene them.
Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae kau Filisitia ʻi he moʻunga ʻi he potu ʻe taha, pea tuʻu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he moʻunga ʻi he potu kehe: pea naʻe ai ʻae teleʻa ʻi hona vahaʻa.
4 Then came a man betweene them both out of the tents of the Philistims, named Goliath of Gath: his height was sixe cubites and an hande breadth,
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu mei he ʻapitanga ʻoe kau Filisitia ʻae tangata toʻa, ko Kolaiate ʻo Kati hono hingoa, ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ma tolu hono māʻolunga.
5 Aud had an helmet of brasse vpon his head, and a brigandine vpon him: and the weight of his brigandine was fiue thousand shekels of brasse.
Pea naʻe ʻi hono ʻulu ʻae tatā palasa, pea naʻe kofu ia ʻaki ʻae kofu palasa: pea ko e fakatatau ʻo hono kofu ko e sikeli palasa ʻe nima afe.
6 And he had bootes of brasse vpon his legs, and a shield of brasse vpon his shoulders.
Pea naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae palasa ʻa hono vaʻe pea naʻe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo hono uma ha sifa palasa.
7 And the shaft of his speare was like a weauers beame: and his speare head weyed sixe hundreth shekels of yron: and one bearing a shielde went before him.
Pea ko e kau ʻo hono tao naʻe hangē ko e ʻakau fakamaʻunga ʻae tangata lalanga; pea ko hono mamafa ʻoe ʻulu ʻo hono tao ko e sikeli ʻaione ʻe onongeau: pea naʻe ʻalu ha tokotaha ʻi hono ʻao ke fua ʻae pā.
8 And he stoode, and cried against the hoste of Israel, and saide vnto them, Why are yee come to set your battell in aray? am not I a Philistim, and you seruaunts to Saul? chuse you a man for you, and let him come downe to me.
Pea naʻe tuʻu ia ʻo kalanga ki he ngaahi tau ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā kuo mou haʻu ke fakatoka ai ʻae tau? ʻIkai ko e Filisitia au, pea mo kimoutolu ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kia Saula? Fili ha tangata maʻamoutolu, pea tuku ke ʻalu hifo ia kiate au.
9 If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then wil we be your seruants: but if I ouercome him, and kill him, then shall yee be our seruants, and serue vs.
Kapau ʻoku mafai ʻe ia ke ma tau mo au, pea ne tāmateʻi au, pehē te mau hoko ho hoʻomou kau tamaioʻeiki: pea kapau te u mālohi au kiate ia, ʻo tāmateʻi ia, te mou hoko ko ʻemau kau tamaioʻeiki, pea te mou tauhi ʻakimautolu.”
10 Also the Philistim saide, I defie the hoste of Israel this day: giue mee a man, that we may fight together.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tangata Filisitia, “ʻOku ou sipitau ki he ngaahi tau ʻo ʻIsileli he ʻaho ni; tuku mai ha tangata ke ma fai mo au.”
11 When Saul and all Israel heard those wordes of the Philistim, they were discouraged, and greatly afraide.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Saula mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki he ngaahi lea ko ia ʻae tangata Filisitia, naʻa nau ilifia mo manavahē lahi.
12 Nowe this Dauid was the sonne of an Ephrathite of Beth-lehem Iudah, named Ishai, which had eight sonnes: and this man was taken for an olde man in the daies of Saul.
Pea ko Tevita ko e foha ia ʻoe tangata ʻo Efalata ʻo Petelihema, ko hono hingoa ko Sese; pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae foha ʻe toko valu: pea naʻe lau ʻae tangata ko ia mo e kau mātuʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Saula.
13 And the three eldest sonnes of Ishai went and followed Saul to the battel: and the names of his three sonnes that went to battell, were Eliab the Eldest, and the next Abinadab, and the thirde Shammah.
Pea naʻe muimui ʻia Saula ki he tau ʻae ngaahi foha ʻe toko tolu ʻo Sese naʻe tuʻukimuʻa; pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono foha ʻe toko tolu naʻe ʻalu ki he tau, ko Iliape ko e ʻuluaki ia, pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa ʻApinatapi, pea ko hono toko tolu ko Sama.
14 So Dauid was the least: and the three eldest went after Saul.
Pea ko e kimui ʻa Tevita: pea naʻe muimui ʻia Saula ʻae taʻokete ʻe toko tolu.
15 Dauid also went, but hee returned from Saul to feede his fathers sheepe in Beth-lehem.
Ka naʻe hiki ʻa Tevita meia Saula ke toe ʻalu ʻo tauhi ʻae fanga sipi ʻa ʻene tamai ʻi Petelihema.
16 And the Philistim drew neere in the morning, and euening, and continued fourtie daies.
Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae tangata Filisitia ʻi he pongipongi mo e efiafi, ʻo ne fakahā ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu.
17 And Ishai said vnto Dauid his sone, Take nowe for thy brethren an Ephah of this parched corne, and these ten cakes, and runne to the hoste to thy brethren.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sese ki hono foha ko Tevita, “Ko eni, ke ke ʻave ki ho ngaahi taʻokete ʻae efa ʻe taha ʻoe uite tunu ni, mo e foʻi mā ʻe hongofulu, pea ke lele ki he ʻapitanga ki ho kāinga;
18 Also carie these ten fresh cheeses vnto the captaine, and looke howe thy brethren fare, and receiue their pledge.
Pea ke ʻave ʻae ngaahi siisi ʻe hongofulu ki he ʻeiki ʻo ʻenau toko afe, pea vakai, pe ʻoku fēfē ʻa ho ngaahi taʻokete, pea ke maʻu ʻenau popōaki.
19 (Then Saul and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistims)
Pea ko eni, ko Saula mo kinautolu, mo e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Ila, ke tau mo e kakai Filisitia.”
20 So Dauid rose vp earely in the morning, and left the sheepe with a keeper, and tooke and went as Ishai had commanded him, and came within the compasse of the hoste: and the hoste went out in araie, and shouted in the battell.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Tevita ʻi he ʻapongipongi, ʻo ne tuku ʻae fanga sipi ki he tangata ke leʻohi, pea naʻe teu, ʻo ʻalu ia, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sese kiate ia; pea naʻe hoko atu ia ki he keli, ʻo feʻunga mo ʻene ʻalu atu ʻae tau ke tau, mo ʻenau kaila ki he tau.
21 For Israel and the Philistims had put themselues in araie, armie against armie.
He naʻe ʻosi hono fakaʻotu ʻae tau ʻe ʻIsileli mo e kakai Filisitia, pea naʻe fehāngaaki ʻae tau ki he tau.
22 And Dauid left the things, which hee bare, vnder the handes of the keeper of the cariage, and ranne into the hoste, and came, and asked his brethren howe they did.
Pea naʻe tuku ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe tokonaki ki he nima ʻoe tangata leʻo koloa, ka ka lele ia ki he tau, pea naʻe hoko atu ia ʻo ne feʻiloaki mo hono ngaahi taʻokete.
23 And as hee talked with them, beholde, the man that was betweene the two armies, came vp, (whose name was Goliath ye Philistim of Gath) out of the armie of the Philistims, and spake such woordes, and Dauid heard them.
Pea ʻi heʻenau kei talanoa, vakai, naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae fuʻu toʻa ko e tangata Filisitia ʻo Kati, ko Kolaiate hono hingoa, mei he ngaahi tau ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea naʻe lea ia ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ngaahi lea muʻa: pea naʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa Tevita.
24 And all the men of Israel, when they sawe the man, ranne away from him, and were sore afraied.
Pea ʻi he mamata kiate ia ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau hola meiate ia, pea manavahē lahi.
25 For euery man of Israel saide, Sawe yee not this man that commeth vp? euen to reuile Israel is he come vp: and to him that killeth him, wil the king giue great riches, and will giue him his daughter, yea, and make his fathers house free in Israel.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli, “Kuo mou mamata ki he tangata ni kuo ʻalu hake? Ko e moʻoni kuo ʻalu hake ia ke luki ki ʻIsileli: ka ʻe ʻilonga ʻae tangata ʻe tāmateʻi ia, ʻe fakakoloa ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻaki ʻae koloa lahi, pea ʻe foaki kiate ia hono ʻofefine, pea ʻe fakatauʻatāina ʻae fale ʻo ʻene tamai ʻi ʻIsileli.”
26 Then Dauid spake to the men that stoode with him, and sayde, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistim, and taketh away the shame from Israel? for who is this vncircumcised Philistim, that he shoulde reuile the hoste of the liuing God?
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Tevita ki he kau tangata naʻe tuʻu ʻi ai, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻe fai ki he tangata ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ʻae Filisitia ko eni, pea ʻave ke mamaʻo ʻae manuki mei ʻIsileli? He ko hai ʻae Filisitia taʻekamu ni koeʻuhi ke tuʻu ia ʻo luki ki he ngaahi kautau ʻae ʻOtua moʻui?”
27 And the people answered him after this maner, saying, Thus shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
Pea naʻe lea ʻae kakai kiate ia ʻo fakatatau mo ia kuo lau, ʻo pehē, ʻE pehē pe hono fai ki he tangata te ne tāmateʻi ia.
28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake vnto the men, and Eliab was verie angrie with Dauid, and sayde, Why camest thou downe hither? and with whome hast thou left those fewe sheepe in the wildernesse? I knowe thy pride and the malice of thine heart, that thou art come downe to see the battell.
Pea naʻe fanongo ʻa Iliape ko hono taʻokete ʻi heʻene lea ki he kau tangata; pea naʻe tupu ai ʻae ʻita ʻa Iliape kia Tevita, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā naʻa ke omi ai ki heni? Pea kuo ke tuku kia hai ʻae fanga sipi siʻi na ʻi he toafa? ʻOku ou ʻilo hoʻo fielahi, mo e kovi lahi ʻo ho loto; he kuo ke haʻu ki heni koeʻuhi ke ke mamata ki he tau.”
29 Then Dauid sayde, What haue I nowe done? Is there not a cause?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “Ko eni ko e hā kuo u fai? ʻIkai ʻoku ai hono ʻuhinga?”
30 And hee departed from him into the presence of another, and spake of the same maner, and the people answered him according to the former woordes.
Pea ne tafoki ia meiate ia ʻo hanga ki he tokotaha, ʻo toe lea ʻo pehē pe: pea naʻe toe tala kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e fuofua lea.
31 And they that heard the wordes which Dauid spake, rehearsed them before Saul, which caused him to be brought.
Pea ʻi heʻene ongoongo atu ʻae ngaahi lea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Tevita, naʻa nau fakahā ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Saula: pea naʻa ne fekau ke ʻomi ia.
32 So Dauid saide to Saul, Let no mans heart faile him, because of him: thy seruant wil goe, and fight with this Philistim.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Saula, “ʻOua naʻa ilifia ʻae loto ʻo ha tangata koeʻuhi ko ia; ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko au te u ʻalu ʻo tauʻi ʻae tangata Filisitia.”
33 And Saul sayde to Dauid, Thou art not able to goe against this Philistim to fight with him: for thou art a boye, and he is a man of warre from his youth.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula kia Tevita, “ʻOku ʻikai te ke mafai ke ʻalu ke tuʻu hake ʻo tauʻi ʻae Filisitia ni: he ko e tamasiʻi pe koe, ka ko e tangata tau pe ia talu ʻene kei siʻi.”
34 And Dauid answered vnto Saul, Thy seruant kept his fathers sheepe, and there came a lyon, and likewise a beare, and tooke a sheepe out of the flocke,
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Saula, “Naʻe tauhi ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻae fanga sipi ʻa ʻene tamai, mo ʻene haʻu ʻae laione mo e pea, ʻo puke ʻo ʻave ʻae ʻuhikiʻi lami mei he fanga sipi:
35 And I went out after him and smote him, and tooke it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by the beard, and smote him, and slue him.
Pea naʻaku tuli ia ʻi tuaʻā, ʻo taaʻi ia, pea u fakamoʻui ia mei hono ngutu: pea ʻi heʻene tuʻu ki ʻolunga kiate au, naʻaku puke ia ʻi hono fakapau, pea tā ia ʻo tāmateʻi.
36 So thy seruaunt slue both the lyon, and the beare: therefore this vncircumcised Philistim shall be as one of them, seeing hee hath railed on the hoste of the liuing God.
Naʻe tāmateʻi fakatouʻosi pe ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻae laione mo e pea: pea ko e Filisitia taʻekamu ni, ʻe tatau ia mo ha taha ʻo kinaua, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene pole ki he ngaahi tau ʻae ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.”
37 Moreouer Dauid sayd, The Lord that deliuered me out of the pawe of the lyon, and out of the paw of the beare, he wil deliuer me out of the hand of this Philistim. Then Saul sayd vnto Dauid, Go, and the Lord be with thee.
Pea naʻe lea foki ʻa Tevita ʻo pehē, “Ko Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne fakamoʻui au mei he pesipesi ʻoe laione, mo e pesipesi ʻoe pea, te ne fakamoʻui au mei he nima ʻoe Filisitia ni.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula kia Tevita, “ʻAlu, pea ke ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova.
38 And Saul put his rayment vpon Dauid, and put an helmet of brasse vpon his head, and put a brigandine vpon him.
Pea naʻe fakakofu tau ʻe Saula ʻa Tevita, “Pea ne ʻai ʻae tatā palasa ki hono ʻulu; pea ne ʻai kiate ia foki ʻae kofu palasa.
39 Then girded Dauid his sword vpon his rayment, and began to go: for he neuer proued it: and Dauid sayde vnto Saul, I can not goe with these: for I am not accustomed. wherefore Dauid put them off him.
Pea naʻe nonoʻo ʻe Tevita ʻene heletā ʻituʻa ki he kofu tau, ʻo ne ʻahiʻahi ke ʻalu; he naʻe teʻeki ai te ne ʻahiʻahiʻi ia. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Saula, “ʻOku ʻikai te u faʻa ʻalu mo e nāunau ni: he kuo ʻikai te u ʻahiʻahiʻi ia.” Pea naʻe vete ia ʻe Tevita ʻo ne tuku ia.
40 Then tooke he his staffe in his hand, and chose him fiue smoothe stones out of a brooke, and put them in his shepheards bagge or skrippe, and his sling was in his hand, and he drewe neere to the Philistim.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ia hono tokotoko, ʻi hono nima, ʻo ne fili ʻae foʻi maka molemole ʻe nima mei he tafeʻanga, vai, ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he kato ʻae tauhi sipi naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻaia ko e kato siʻi; pea naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻene makatā: pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ia ki he tangata Filisitia.
41 And the Philistim came and drew neere vnto Dauid, and the man that bare the shielde went before him.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata Filisitia ʻo ne ʻunuʻunu ke ofi kia Tevita: pea ko e tangata naʻe fua ʻae pā naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ia ʻi hono ʻao.
42 Now when the Philistim looked about and saw Dauid, he disdeined him: for he was but yong, ruddie, and of a comely face.
Pea ʻi he fesiofaki ʻae tangata Filisitia, ʻo ne mamata kia Tevita, naʻa ne manuki kiate ia: he naʻe kei tamasiʻi pe ia, pea totototo, pea matamatalelei hono mata.
43 And the Philistim sayde vnto Dauid, Am I a dog, that thou commest to me with staues? And the Philistim cursed Dauid by his gods.
Pea pehē ʻe he tangata Filisitia kia Tevita, “Ko e kulī au, kuo ke haʻu ai kiate au mo e ngaahi ʻakau?” Pea kapeʻi ʻe he tangata Filisitia ʻa Tevita ʻi hono ngaahi ʻotua.
44 And the Philistim sayd to Dauid, Come to me, and I will giue thy flesh vnto the foules of the heauen, and to the beastes of the field.
Pea pehē ʻe he tangata Filisitia kia Tevita, “Haʻu kiate au, pea te u ʻatu ho kakano ki he fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā, pea ki he fanga manu ʻoe vao.”
45 Then sayd Dauid to the Philistim, Thou commest to me with a sword, and with a speare, and with a shield, but I come to thee in the Name of the Lord of hostes, the God of the hoste of Israel, whom thou hast rayled vpon.
Pea pehē ʻe Tevita ki he tangata Filisitia, “ʻOku ke haʻu kiate au ʻaki ʻae heletā, mo e tao, pea mo e pā: ka ʻoku ou ʻalu atu kiate koe ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi tau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ke polepole ki ai.
46 This day shall the Lord close thee in mine hand, and I shall smite thee, and take thine head from thee, and I wil giue the carkeises of the hoste of the Philistims this daye vnto the foules of the heauen, and to the beasts of the earth, that all the world may know that Israel hath a God,
‌ʻE tuku koe ʻe Sihova he ʻaho ni ki hoku nima; pea te u taaʻi koe ʻo toʻo ho ʻulu meiate koe; pea te u foaki ʻae ngaahi ʻangaʻanga ʻoe tau ʻae kakai Filisitia he ʻaho ni ki he fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā, pea ki he fanga manu kaivao ʻoe fonua, koeʻuhi ke hoko ʻo ʻilo ʻe māmani kotoa pē, ʻoku ai ha ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
47 And that all this assembly may know, that the Lord saueth not with sworde nor with speare (for the battel is the Lords) and he will giue you into our handes.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo ʻilo ʻe he fakataha ni kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻikai fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻaki ʻae heletā mo e tao; he ʻoku ʻa Sihova ʻae tau, pea te ne tuku ʻakimoutolu ki homau nima.”
48 And when the Philistim arose to come and drawe neere vnto Dauid, Dauid hasted and ran to fight against the Philistim.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he tuʻu hake ʻae tangata Filisitia, pea haʻu ke ʻunuʻunu mai ke fakafetaulaki kia Tevita, naʻe fai vave ʻa Tevita ʻo lele atu ki he fuʻu tau ke fakafetaulaki atu ki he Filisitia.
49 And Dauid put his hande in his bagge, and tooke out a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistim in his forehead, that the stone sticked in his forehead, and he fell groueling to the earth.
Pea naʻe ala ʻe Tevita hono nima ki heʻene kato, ʻo ne toʻo mei ai ʻae foʻi maka, ʻo ne makataaʻi ia, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻae Filisitia ʻi hono foʻi laʻē, pea naʻe ngalo hifo ʻae maka ʻi hono ʻulu; pea ne tō ʻo tuʻu hono mata ki he kelekele.
50 So Dauid ouercame the Philistim with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistim, and slew him, when Dauid had no sword in his hand.
Ko ia naʻe ikuna ʻe Tevita ʻae tangata Filisitia ʻaki ʻae makatā mo e foʻi maka, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻae Filisitia, ʻo tāmateʻi ia; ka naʻe ʻikai ha heletā ʻi he nima ʻo Tevita.
51 Then Dauid ranne, and stood vpon the Philistim, and tooke his sword and drew it out of his sheath, and slewe him, and cut off his head therewith. So whe the Philistims saw, that their champion was dead, they fled.
Pea ko ia naʻe lele ai ʻa Tevita ʻo tuʻu ki he tangata Filisitia, ʻo ne puke ʻene heletā ʻaʻana, ʻo unuhi ia mei hono ʻaiʻanga, ʻo tāmateʻi ia ʻo ne tutuʻu ʻaki ia ʻa hono ʻulu. Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kau Filisitia kuo mate honau toʻa, naʻa nau hola.
52 And the men of Israel and Iudah arose, and shouted, and followed after the Philistims, vntill they came to the valley, and vnto the gates of Ekron: and the Philistims fell downe wounded by the way of Shaaraim, euen to Gath and to Ekron.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli mo Siuta, ʻonau kaila, ʻonau tuli ʻae kau Filisitia, ʻo aʻu atu ki he toafa, pea ki he ngaahi matapā ʻo Ekiloni. Pea naʻe tō ki lalo ʻae kau kafo ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he hala ki Sealeimi, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki Kati mo Ekiloni.
53 And the children of Israel returned from pursuing the Philistims, and spoyled their tents.
Pea naʻe liu mai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei heʻenau tuli ki he kakai Filisitia, ʻonau maumauʻi honau ngaahi fale ʻapitanga.
54 And Dauid tooke the head of ye Philistim, and brought it to Ierusalem, and put his armour in his tent.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Tevita ʻae ʻulu ʻoe tangata Filisitia, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema; ka naʻa ne ʻai ʻene mahafutau ki hono fale fehikitaki.
55 When Saul sawe Dauid go forth against the Philistim, he sayd vnto Abner the captaine of his hoste, Abner, whose sonne is this yong man? and Abner answered, As thy soule liueth, O King, I can not tell.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Saula ki he ʻalu atu ʻa Tevita ke tauʻi ʻae tangata Filisitia, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia ʻApina ko e ʻeiki ʻo ʻene tau, ʻApina, “Ko e foha ʻo hai ʻae tamasiʻi ni?” Pea pehē ʻe ʻApina, “Hangē ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, ʻE tuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloa.”
56 Then the King sayde, Enquire thou whose sonne this yong man is.
Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Ke ke fehuʻi koe, pe ko e foha ʻo hai ʻae tangata siʻi ni.”
57 And when Dauid was returned from the slaughter of the Philistim, then Abner tooke him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistim in his hand.
Pea ʻi he liu mai ʻa Tevita mei he tāmateʻi ʻoe tangata Filisitia, naʻe maʻu ia ʻe ʻApina, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki he ʻao ʻo Saula mo e ʻulu ʻoe Filisitia naʻe ʻi hono nima.
58 And Saul sayde to him, Whose sonne art thou, thou yong man? And Dauid answered, I am the sonne of thy seruant Ishai the Bethlehemite.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula kiate ia, “Ko e foha koe ʻo hai?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe Tevita, “Ko e foha [au ]ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Sese ko e tangata Petelihema.”
