1 Samuel 30
1 Bvt when Dauid and his men were come to Ziklag the thirde day, the Amalekites had inuaded vpon the South, euen vnto Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burnt it with fire,
Pea kuo hoko ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata ki Sikilaki ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho, pea pehē, naʻe tauʻi ʻe he kakai ʻAmaleki ʻae potu tonga, mo Sikilaki, pea kuo taaʻi ʻa Sikilaki, pea tutu ʻaki ʻae afi.
2 And had taken the women that were therein, prisoners, both small and great, and slewe not a man, but caryed them away, and went their wayes.
Pea kuo nau maʻu fakapōpula ʻae kau fefine naʻe ʻi ai: naʻe ʻikai tenau tāmateʻi ha tokotaha, ʻae lahi pe ko e siʻi, ka naʻa nau fetuku ʻakinautolu ʻo ʻave, pea ʻalu ʻi honau hala.
3 So Dauid and his men came to the city, and beholde, it was burnt with fire, and their wiues, and their sonnes, and their daughters were taken prisoners.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata ki he kolo, pea vakai, kuo tutu ia ʻaki ʻae afi, pea kuo ʻave fakapōpula honau ngaahi uaifi, mo ʻenau ngaahi fānau.
4 Then Dauid and the people that was with him, lift vp their voyces and wept, vntill they could weepe no more.
Pea ko Tevita mo e kakai naʻe ʻiate ia naʻa nau hiki honau leʻo ʻo tangi, pea naʻa nau tangi ai pe ʻonau vaivai.
5 Dauids two wiues were taken prisoners also, Ahinoam the Izreelite, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Pea kuo maʻu fakapōpula ʻae ongo uaifi ʻo Tevita, ʻa ʻAhinoami ko e fefine Sesilili, mo ʻApikale naʻe mali mo Napale ko e tangata Kameli.
6 And Dauid was in great sorowe: for the people entended to stone him, because the heartes of all the people were vexed euery man for his sonnes and for his daughters: but Dauid comforted him selfe in the Lord his God.
Pea naʻe mamahi lahi ʻa Tevita; he naʻe alea ʻae kakai ke tolongaki ia ʻaki ʻae maka, koeʻuhi kuo mamahi lahi ʻaupito ʻae loto ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, ʻo taki taha ʻae tangata ki hono ngaahi foha, pea ki hono ngaahi ʻofefine: ka naʻe fakafiemālieʻi ia ʻe Tevita ʻia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua.
7 And Dauid saide to Abiathar the Priest Ahimelechs sonne, I pray thee, bring me the Ephod. And Abiathar brought the Ephod to Dauid.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻApiata ko e taulaʻeiki, ko e foha ʻo ʻAhimeleki, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻomi ki heni ʻae ʻefoti.” Pea ʻomi ki ai ʻe ʻApiata ʻae ʻefoti kia Tevita.
8 Then Dauid asked counsell at the Lord, saying, Shall I follow after this companie? shall I ouertake them? And he answered him, Followe: for thou shalt surely ouertake them, and recouer all.
Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Te u tuli ki he kau tau? Te u maʻu ʻakinautolu?” Pea naʻe tala pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Tuli: ko e moʻoni te ke maʻu ʻakinautolu, pea ko e moʻoni te ke toe maʻu [kotoa pē].”
9 So Dauid and the sixe hundreth men that were with him, went, and came to the riuer Besor, where a part of them abode:
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Tevita, ʻaia mo e kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻonau hoko ki he vaitafe ko Pisoa, ʻaia naʻe nofo ki ai ʻakinautolu naʻe tuku kimui.
10 But Dauid and foure hundreth men followed (for two hundreth abode behinde, being too wearie to goe ouer the riuer Besor)
Pea naʻe tuli ʻakinautolu ʻe Tevita, ʻaia mo e kau tangata ʻe toko fāngeau: he naʻe nofo kimui ʻae toko uangeau, ʻaia naʻa nau vaivai lahi ʻo ʻikai tenau faʻa lava ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻi Pisoa.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the fielde, and brought him to Dauid, and gaue him bread and he did eat, and they gaue him water to drinke.
Pea naʻa nau ʻilo ʻae tangata ʻIsipite ʻi he ngoue, ʻonau ʻomi ia kia Tevita, pea ne ʻatu kiate ia ʻae mā, pea ne kai pea nau fakainu ia ʻi he vai.
12 Also they gaue him a fewe figges, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirite came againe to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunke any water in three dayes, and three nightes.
Pea naʻa nau tuku kiate ia ʻae konga fiki naʻe natu; mo e fuhi kālepi mōmoa ʻe ua: pea hili ʻene kai, naʻe toe haʻu hono laumālie kiate ia: he naʻe ʻikai kai ʻe ia ha mā, pe inu ha vai, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu mo e pō ʻe tolu.
13 And Dauid saide vnto him, To whome belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he saide, I am a yong man of Egypt, and seruant to an Amalekite: and my master left me three dayes agoe, because I fell sicke.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kiate ia, “ʻOku ke kau koe mo hai? Pea ʻoku haʻu mei fē koe?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e tangata talavou au mei ʻIsipite, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae tangata ʻAmaleki; pea naʻe liʻaki au ʻe heʻeku ʻeiki ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu kuo hili ko e meʻa ʻi he tuia ʻa hoku mahaki.”
14 We roued vpon the South of Chereth, and vpon the coast belonging to Iudah, and vpon the South of Caleb, and we burnt Ziklag with fire.
Naʻa mau hoko atu ʻo tauʻi ʻae potu tonga ʻo Keliti, pea ki he potu ʻoku ʻia Siuta, pea ki he potu tonga ʻo Kelepi pea mau tutu ʻa Sikilaki ʻaki ʻae afi.
15 And Dauid saide vnto him, Canst thou bring me to this companie? And he said, Sweare vnto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliuer me into the handes of my master, and I will bring thee to this companie.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kiate ia, “ʻOku ke faʻa ʻave au ki he kakai ko ia? Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Fuakava kiate au ʻi he ʻOtua ʻe ʻikai te ke tāmateʻi au, pe tukuange au ki he nima ʻo hoku ʻeiki, pea te u ʻave koe ki he kakai ni.”
16 And when he had brought him thither, beholde, they lay scattered abroade vpon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dauncing, because of all the great pray that they had taken out of the lande of the Philistims, and out of the land of Iudah.
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻomi ia ki ai, vakai, kuo nau nofo mafola atu mamaʻo ʻi he funga kelekele kotoa pē, ʻoku nau kai mo inu, mo meʻe, ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi vete lahi kuo nau maʻu mei he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea mei he fonua ʻo Siuta.
17 And Dauid smote them from the twilight, euen vnto the euening of the next morowe, so that there escaped not a man of them, saue foure hundreth yong men, which rode vpon camels, and fled.
Pea naʻe teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻe Tevita mei he hengihengi ʻo aʻu atu ki he efiafi ʻoe ʻaho naʻa na feholoi: pea naʻe ʻikai hao ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻokinautolu, ka ko e kau talavou ʻe toko fāngeau naʻe heka ʻi he fanga kāmeli naʻe hola.
18 And Dauid recouered all that the Amalekites had taken: also Dauid rescued his two wiues.
Pea naʻe toe maʻu kotoa pē ʻe Tevita ʻaia naʻe fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻe he kakai ʻAmaleki: pea naʻe toe fakahaofi ʻe Tevita hono ongo uaifi.
19 And they lacked nothing, small or great, sonne or daughter, or of the spoyle of all that they had taken away: Dauid recouered them all.
Pea naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa kuo mole ʻiate kinautolu, ʻi he meʻa siʻi, pe ʻi he meʻa lahi, pe ʻi he ngaahi foha, pe ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine, pe ʻi he koloa vete, pe ha meʻa ʻe taha naʻa nau toʻo kiate kinautolu naʻe maʻu kotoa pē ʻe Tevita.
20 Dauid also tooke all the sheepe, and the oxen, and they draue them before his cattell, and said, This is Dauids pray.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi fanga manu siʻi mo e fanga manu lahi, ʻaia naʻa nau tekeʻi muʻomuʻa ʻi he ngaahi fanga manu lalahi niʻihi, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko eni ʻae vete ʻa Tevita.”
21 And Dauid came to the two hundreth men that were too wearie for to follow Dauid: whome they had made also to abide at the riuer Besor: and they came to meete Dauid, and to meete the people that were with him: so when Dauid came neere to the people, hee saluted them.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Tevita ki he kau tangata ʻe toko uangeau ʻaia ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau vaivai naʻe ʻikai tenau faʻa muimui ʻia Tevita, ʻakinautolu naʻa nau pule ke nofo ʻi he vaitafe ko Pisoa: pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu ke fakafetaulaki kia Tevita, pea kenau fakafetaulaki ki he kakai naʻe ʻiate ia: pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Tevita ʻo ofi ki he kakai, naʻe feʻiloaki ʻofa ia mo kinautolu.
22 Then answered all the euill and wicked of the men that went with Dauid, and saide, Because they went not with vs, therefore will wee giue them none of the pray that wee haue recouered, saue to euery man his wife and his children: therefore let them carie them away and depart.
Pea naʻe lea ai ʻae kau tangata kovi kotoa pē mo e kakai anga fakamaveuveu, ʻio, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻalu mo Tevita, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai siʻi tenau ʻalu mo kimautolu, ʻe ʻikai ai te mau ʻatu kiate kinautolu ha meʻa siʻi ʻi he vete ni kuo mau toe maʻu ni, kae ʻatu taki taha ki he tangata hono uaifi, mo ʻene fānau, koeʻuhi ke ne tataki ia ʻo ʻave, pea ʻalu ai.”
23 Then saide Dauid, Yee shall not doe so, my brethren, with that which the Lord hath giuen vs, who hath preserued vs, and deliuered the companie that came against vs, into our handes.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻE hoku kāinga, ʻe ʻikai te mou fai pehē, ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kitautolu, ʻaia kuo ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu, pea fakahaofi ʻakitautolu mei he kakai naʻe haʻu ke tauʻi ʻakitautolu ʻi hotau fonua.
24 For who will obey you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth downe to the battel, so shall his part be, that tarieth by the stuffe: they shall part alike.
He ko hai ia ʻe tokanga kiate kimoutolu ʻi he meʻa ni? Kae hangē ko e ʻinasi ʻo ia ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he tau, ʻe pehē pe ʻae ʻinasi ʻo ia ʻoku tatali ʻo leʻohi ʻae ngaʻotoʻota: tenau ʻinasi tatau pe.”
25 So from that day forward hee made it a statute and a lawe in Israel, vntill this day.
Pea talu ʻae ʻaho ko ia ʻo fai kimui naʻa ne fokotuʻu ia ko e fono mo e tuʻutuʻuni maʻa ʻIsileli ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
26 When Dauid therefore came to Ziklag, he sent of the pray vnto the Elders of Iudah and to his friends, saying, See there is a blessing for you of the spoyle of the enemies of the Lord.
Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Tevita ki Sikilaki, naʻe fekau ʻe ia ke ʻatu ʻae koloa vete ki he kau mātuʻa ʻo Siuta, ʻio, ki hono ngaahi kāinga, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ko e meʻaʻofa maʻamoutolu ʻi he vete mei he ngaahi fili ʻo Sihova;”
27 Hee sent to them of Beth-el, and to them of South Ramoth, and to them of Iattir,
Kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Peteli, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Lemoti ʻi he potu tonga, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Satili,
28 And to them of Aroer, and to them of Siphmoth, and to them of Eshtemoa,
Pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi ʻAloeli, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Sifimoti, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi ʻEsitemoa,
29 And to them of Rachal, and to them of the cities of the Ierahmeelites, and to them of the cities of the Kenites,
Pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Lakali, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻae kakai Selamili, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻoe kakai Kena,
30 And to them of Hormah, and to them of Chor-ashan, and to them of Athach,
Pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Hoama, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Kolasani, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi ʻAtaki,
31 And to them of Hebron, and to all the places where Dauid and his men had hanted.
Pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Hepeloni, pea ki he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe faʻa ʻāunofo ki ai ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata.
