2 Samuel 19
1 And it was tolde Ioab, Behold, the King weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.
Pea naʻe fakahā kia Soape, “Vakai, ʻoku tangi mo mamahi ʻae tuʻi koeʻuhi ko ʻApisalomi.”
2 Therefore the victorie of that day was turned into mourning to all the people: for the people heard say that day, The King soroweth for his sonne.
Pea ko e fakamoʻui ʻoe ʻaho ko ia naʻe liliu ia ko e fakamamahi ki he kakai kotoa pē: he naʻe fanongo ʻe he kakai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ki he mamahi ʻoe tuʻi koeʻuhi ko hono ʻalo.
3 And the people went that day into the citie secretly, as people confounded hide them selues when they flee in battell.
Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻalu fakatoitoi pe ʻae kakai ki he kolo, ʻo hangē ko e ʻalu fakatoitoi ha kakai ʻi [heʻenau ]mā ʻoka nau ka feholataki ʻi he tau.
4 So the King hid his face, and the King cryed with a loude voyce, My sonne Absalom, Absalom my sonne, my sonne.
Ka naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻe he tuʻi ʻa hono fofonga, pea naʻe tangi ʻaki ʻe he tuʻi ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻOiauē, ʻa hoku foha ko ʻApisalomi, “ʻOiauē ʻApisalomi, ko hoku ʻalo, ko hoku ʻalo!”
5 Then Ioab came into the house to the King, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy seruants, which this day haue saued thy life and the liues of thy sones, and of thy daughters, and the liues of thy wiues, and the liues of thy concubines,
Pea naʻe hau ʻa Soape ki loto fale ki he tuʻi, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo ke fakamaaʻi he ʻaho ni ʻae mata kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia kuo fakahaofi ʻa hoʻo moʻui he ʻaho ni, mo e moʻui ʻa hoʻo ngaahi foha mo hoʻo ngaahi ʻofefine, mo e moʻui ʻa hoʻo ngaahi uaifi, mo e moʻui ʻa hoʻo kau sinifu;
6 In that thou louest thine enemies, and hatest thy friendes: for thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither thy princes nor seruants: therefore this day I perceiue, that if Absalom had liued, and we all had dyed this day, that then it would haue pleased thee well.
Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo ʻofa ki ho ngaahi fili, ka kuo ke fehiʻa ki ho kāinga. He kuo ke fakahā he ʻaho ni ʻoku ʻikai mahuʻinga kiate koe ʻae houʻeiki pe ko e kau tamaioʻeiki: he ʻoku ou mamata he ʻaho ni, ka ne moʻui pe ʻa ʻApisalomi, ke mau mate kotoa pē ʻakimautolu he ʻaho ni, pehē kuo ke lelei ai.
7 Nowe therefore vp, come out, and speake comfortably vnto thy seruants: for I sweare by the Lord, except thou come out, there will not tarie one man with thee this night: and that wil be worse vnto thee, then all the euill that fell on thee from thy youth hitherto.
Ko ia foki, tuʻu hake, pea ʻalu atu, pea lea fakafiemālie ki he loto ʻo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki: he ʻoku ou fuakava ʻia Sihova kiate koe, kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻalu atu, ʻe ʻikai toe kiate koe ha tokotaha ʻi he poōni: pea ʻe kovi lahi hake ia ʻi he kovi kotoa pē kuo hoko mai kiate koe talu mei hoʻo kei siʻi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.”
8 Then the King arose, and sate in the gate: and they tolde vnto all the people, saying, Beholde, the King doeth sit in the gate: and all the people came before the King: for Israel had fled euery man to his tent.
Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ai ʻae tuʻi, ʻo ne ʻafio ʻi he matapā. Pea naʻa nau fakahā ki he kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, kuo ʻafio ʻae tuʻi ʻi he matapā.” Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi: he kuo hola ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli taki taha ki hono fale fehikitaki.
9 Then all the people were at strife thorowout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The King saued vs out of the hand of our enemies, and he deliuered vs out of the hande of the Philistims, and nowe he is fled out of the lande for Absalom.
Pea naʻe fekeʻikeʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻo fepehēʻaki, “Naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu ʻe he tuʻi mei he nima ʻo hotau ngaahi fili, pea naʻa ne fakahaofi ʻakitautolu mei he nima ʻoe kau Filisitia; pea kuo ne hola eni mei he fonua koeʻuhi ko ʻApisalomi.”
10 And Absalom, whome we anoynted ouer vs, is dead in battel: therefore why are ye so slow to bring the King againe?
Pea ko ʻApisalomi ʻaia naʻa tau fakanofo kiate kitautolu, kuo mate ʻi he tau. Pea ko ia foki ko e hā ʻoku mou taʻelea ai ke toe ʻomi ʻae tuʻi?
11 But King Dauid sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the Priestes, saying, Speake vnto the Elders of Iudah, and say, Why are ye behind to bring the King againe to his house, (for the saying of al Israel is come vnto the king, euen to his house)
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko Tevita kia Satoki mo ʻApiata ko e ongo taulaʻeiki, ʻo ne pehē, “Mo lea ki he mātuʻa ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē, Ko e hā ʻoku mou tomui ai ʻi he toe ʻomi ʻae tuʻi ki hono fale? Ka kuo hā mai ʻae lea ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki he tuʻi ki hono fale.
12 Ye are my brethren: my bones and my flesh are ye: wherefore then are ye the last that bring the King againe?
Ko hoku kāinga kimoutolu, ko hoku hui mo hoku kakano kimoutolu: ko ia ko e hā ʻoku mou tomui ai ʻi he toe ʻomi ʻae tuʻi?”
13 Also say ye to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if thou be not captaine of the hoste to me for euer in the roume of Ioab.
Pea mo pehē atu kia ʻAmasa, “ʻIkai ʻoku ke ʻo hoku hui, pea ʻo hoku kakano? Ke fai pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au ʻo lahi hake foki, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻeiki koe ki he kautau ʻi hoku ʻao maʻuaipē, ko e fetongi ʻo Soape.”
14 So he bowed the heartes of all the men of Iudah, as of one man: therefore they sent to the King, saying, Returne thou with all thy seruants.
Pea naʻa ne ueʻi ʻae loto ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻo hangē kuo[nau ]taha pe; ko ia ne nau ʻave ai ʻae lea ni ki he tuʻi, Ke ke foki mai koe, pea mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē.
15 So the King returned, and came to Iorden. And Iudah came to Gilgal, for to goe to meete the King, and to conduct him ouer Iorde.
Ko ia naʻe foki mai ʻae tuʻi, ʻo ne haʻu ki Sioatani. Pea naʻe haʻu ʻakinautolu ʻo Siuta ki Kilikali, ke fakafetaulaki atu ki he tuʻi, pea ke ʻomi ʻae tuʻi ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.
16 And Shimei the sonne of Gera, ye sonne of Iemini, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Iudah to meete king Dauid,
Pea ko Simi ko e foha ʻo Kela, ko e tangata Penisimani, ʻaia naʻe ʻo Pahulimi, naʻa ne ʻalu fakatoʻotoʻo hifo mo e kau tangata ʻo Siuta, ke fetaulaki mo e tuʻi ko Tevita.
17 And a thousande men of Beniamin with him, and Ziba the seruant of the house of Saul, and his fifteene sonnes and twentie seruants with him: and they went ouer Iorden before ye king.
Pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae kau tangata Penisimani ʻe toko taha afe, pea mo Sipa ko e tamaioʻeiki mei he fale ʻo Saula, pea mo hono foha ʻoʻona ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko nima, pea mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻe toko uofulu; pea naʻa nau muʻomuʻa atu ʻi he tuʻi ʻi heʻene aʻa ʻi Sioatani.
18 And there went ouer a boate to carie ouer the Kings houshold, and to do him pleasure. Then Shimei the sonne of Gera fell before the King, when he was come ouer Iorden,
Pea naʻe ʻalu foki ʻae vaka fokotuʻu ke fetukutuku ai ʻae kaungāʻapi ʻoe tuʻi, pea ke fai ha meʻa naʻe pehē ʻe ia ke fai. Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻa Simi ko e foha ʻo Kela ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ʻi heʻene laka mai mei Sioatani;
19 And saide vnto the King, Let not my lorde impute wickednesse vnto me, nor remember ye thing that thy seruant did wickedly when my lorde the King departed out of Ierusalem, that the King should take it to his heart.
ʻo ne pehē ki he tuʻi, “ʻOua naʻa tuku ha hia kiate au ʻe hoku ʻeiki, pea ʻoua foki naʻa ke manatuʻi ʻae meʻa naʻe fai angatuʻu ai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi mei Selūsalema, ke mamahi ai ʻae loto ʻoe tuʻi.
20 For thy seruant doeth knowe, that I haue done amisse: therefore beholde, I am the first this day of al the house of Ioseph, that am come to goe downe to meete my lord the King.
He ʻoku ʻiloʻi ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki kuo u fai angahala: pea ko ia foki kuo u haʻu ke u muʻomuʻa mai he ʻaho ni ʻi he fale kotoa pē ʻo Siosefa ke u hoko mai ke fakafetaulaki ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi.”
21 But Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah answered, and said, Shal not Shimei die for this, because he cursed the Lordes anoynted?
Ka naʻe pehēange ʻe ʻApisai ko e tama ʻa Seluia, “ʻIkai ʻe tāmateʻi ʻa Simi koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni, koeʻuhi ko ʻene lea kapekape kiate ia kuo pani ʻaki ʻae lolo ʻe Sihova?”
22 And Dauid saide, What haue I to do with you, ye sonnes of Zeruiah, that this day ye should be aduersaries vnto me? shall there any man die this day in Israel? for doe not I know that I am this day King ouer Israel?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “Ko e hā kimoutolu kiate au, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi tama ʻo Seluia, ke mou hoko ai ko e ngaahi fili kiate au he ʻaho ni? He ʻe tāmateʻi ha tokotaha ʻi ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ni? He ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo koā kuo u tuʻi au he ʻaho ni ki ʻIsileli?”
23 Therefore the King saide vnto Shimei, Thou shalt not die, and the king sware vnto him.
Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi kia Simi, “ʻE ʻikai te ke mate. Pea naʻe fuakava ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia.”
24 And Mephibosheth the sonne of Saul came downe to meete the king, and had neither washed his feete, nor dressed his beard, nor washed his clothes from the time the king departed, vntill he returned in peace.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Mifiposeti ko e foha ʻo Saula ke fetaulaki mo e tuʻi, pea naʻe ʻikai ke kaukau hono vaʻe, pe teuteuʻi hono kava, pe fō hono ngaahi kofu, talu mei he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻae tuʻi, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho naʻa ne toe haʻu ai ʻi he melino.
25 And when he was come to Ierusalem, and met the king, the king said vnto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hoko mai ki Selūsalema, ke fetaulaki mo e tuʻi, naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “ʻE Mifiposeti, ko e hā naʻe ʻikai te ta ō ai mo au?”
26 And he answered, My lorde the king, my seruant deceiued me: for thy seruant said, I would haue mine asse sadled to ride thereon, for to goe with the king, because thy seruant is lame.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, ko e tuʻi, naʻe kākaaʻi au ʻe hoku tamaioʻeiki: he naʻe pehē ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ‘Te u ʻai ha hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi, koeʻuhi ke u heka ai ʻo ʻalu ki he tuʻi; koeʻuhi ʻoku ketu ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.’
27 And he hath accused thy seruant vnto my lorde the king: but my lorde the king is as an Angel of God: doe therefore thy pleasure.
Pea kuo ne lauʻikoviʻi ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi; ka ʻoku tatau ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi mo ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua: ko ia ke ke fai ʻaia ʻoku matamatalelei kiate koe.
28 For all my fathers house were but dead men before my lord the king, yet diddest thou set thy seruant among them that did eate at thine owne table: what right therefore haue I yet to crye any more vnto the king?
He ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻa ʻeku tamai, ko e kau mate kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi: ka neongo ia naʻa ke fakanofo ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki[ko au ]ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻokinautolu naʻe kai mei ho keinangaʻanga ʻoʻou. Ko ia foki ʻe totonu fēfē ʻa ʻeku toe tangi ki he tuʻi?”
29 And the king said vnto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I haue said, Thou, and Ziba deuide the landes.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke kei lea ai ki hoʻo ngaahi meʻa ʻaʻau? Kuo ʻosi ʻeku lea, Ke mo vaheua mo Sipa ʻae fonua.”
30 And Mephibosheth saide vnto the king, Yea, let him take all, seeing my lorde the king is come home in peace.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe Mifiposeti ki he tuʻi, “Tuku ke ne maʻu kotoa pē maʻana, koeʻuhi kuo toe hoko mai ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ki hono fale ʻoʻona ʻi he melino.”
31 Then Barzillai the Gileadite came downe from Rogelim, and went ouer Iorden with the king, to conduct him ouer Iorden.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Pasilai ko e tangata Kiliati mei Lokelimi, pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia mo e tuʻi ki he kauvai ʻo Sioatani, ke ne fakaaʻa atu ia ʻi Sioatani.
32 Nowe Barzillai was a very aged man, euen fourescore yeere olde, and he had prouided the king of sustenance, while he lay at Mahanaim: for he was a man of very great substance.
Ka ko eni naʻe motuʻa lahi ʻaupito ʻa Pasilai, he naʻe valungofulu ʻa hono taʻu: pea naʻa ne tokonaki meʻakai maʻae tuʻi lolotonga ʻa ʻene nofo ʻi Mehanemi; he ko e tangata ʻeikilahi ia.
33 And the king said vnto Barzillai, Come ouer with me, and I will feede thee with me in Ierusalem.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Pasilai, Haʻu koe ke ta aʻa atu mo au, pea te u fafangaʻi koe mo au ʻi Selūsalema.
34 And Barzillai said vnto the king, Howe long haue I to liue, that I should goe vp with the king to Ierusalem?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Pasilai ki he tuʻi, “He ʻoku toe fiha ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻeku moʻui, koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu hake ai mo e tuʻi ki Selūsalema?
35 I am this day fourescore yeere olde: and can I discerne betweene good or euill? Hath thy seruant any taste in that I eat or in that I drinke? Can I heare any more the voyce of singing men and women? wherefore then should thy seruant be anymore a burthen vnto my lord the king?
ʻOku ou valungofulu taʻu he ʻaho ni pea ʻoku ou faʻa fai koā ke fifili ki he meʻa ʻoku lelei mo ia ʻoku kovi? He ʻoku faʻa ifoifo ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻaia ʻoku ou kai pe ko ia ʻoku ou inu? Pea ʻoku ou kei faʻa ongoʻi koā ʻae leʻo ʻoe kau tangata fasi hiva mo e kau fefine fasi hiva?” Pea ka kuo pehē, ko e hā hono ʻaonga ʻoe hoko ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko e fakamāfasia pe ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi?
36 Thy seruant will goe a litle way ouer Iorden with the King, and why wil the king recompence it me with such a rewarde?
ʻE ʻalu mamaʻo siʻi atu pe ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki mo e tuʻi ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani: pea ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe totongi kiate au ʻe he tuʻi ʻi ha totongi pehē fau?
37 I pray thee, let thy seruant turne backe againe, that I may die in mine owne citie, and be buryed in the graue of my father and of my mother: but beholde thy seruant Chimham, let him goe with my lorde the king, and doe to him what shall please thee.
ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke toe foki ki mui, koeʻuhi ke u mate ʻi hoku kolo ʻoʻoku, ʻo ofi ki he faʻitoka ʻo ʻeku tamai pea mo ʻeku faʻē. “Kae vakai, ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Kimami; tuku ke ʻalu atu ia mo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi; pea ke fai kiate ia ʻaia ʻoku lelei ʻi ho ʻao.”
38 And the king answered, Chimham shall go with me, and I will do to him that thou shalt be content with: and whatsoeuer thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻE ʻalu atu mo au ʻa Kimami, pea te u fai kiate ia ʻaia te ke loto koe ki ai: pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ke loto mai ke u fai, te u fai ia maʻau.”
39 So all the people went ouer Iorden: and the King passed ouer: and the King kissed Barzillai, and blessed him, and hee returned vnto his owne place.
Pea naʻe aʻa atu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi Sioatani. Pea hili ʻae lava atu ʻae tuʻi, naʻe ʻuma ʻe he tuʻi kia Pasilai, mo ne tāpuakiʻi ia; pea naʻe toe foki atu ia ki hono potu ʻoʻona.
40 Then the King went to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him, and all the people of Iudah conducted the King, and also halfe ye people of Israel.
Hili ia naʻe mole atu ʻae tuʻi ki Kilikali, pea naʻe ʻalu atu mo ia ʻa Kimami: pea naʻe fakafeʻao ki he tuʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, pea mo hono vaheua ʻoe kakai ʻo ʻIsileli.
41 And behold, all the men of Israel came to the King, and sayd vnto the King, Why haue our brethren the men of Iudah stollen thee away, and haue brought the King and his houshold, and all Dauids men with him ouer Iorden?
Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ki he tuʻi ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻonau pehē ki he tuʻi, “Ko e hā kuo ʻave fakakaihaʻa ai koe ʻe homau kāinga ko e kau tangata ʻo Siuta, pea kuo nau ʻomi ʻekinautolu ʻae tuʻi, pea mo hono kaungā nofoʻanga, pea mo e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Tevita, ki he kauvai ni ʻo Sioatani?”
42 And all the men of Iudah answered the men of Israel, Because the King is neere of kin to vs: and wherefore now be ye angry for this matter? haue we eaten of the Kings cost, or haue wee taken any bribes?
Pea naʻe tali ʻe he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ki he kau tangata ʻIsileli, [ʻo pehē], “Koeʻuhi ko homau kāinga ofi lahi ʻae tuʻi: ko ia ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻita ai ʻi he meʻa ni? He kuo mau kai mei he meʻakai ʻae tuʻi? Pe kuo ne ʻomi ha koloa kiate kimautolu?”
43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Iudah, and saide, Wee haue ten partes in the King, and haue also more right to Dauid then ye: Why then did ye despise vs, that our aduise should not bee first had in restoring our King? And the wordes of the men of Iudah were fiercer then the wordes of the men of Israel.
Pea naʻe leaange ʻe he kau tangata ʻIsileli ki he kau tangata Siuta, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku mau maʻu ʻae vahe ʻe hongofulu ʻi he tuʻi, pea ʻoku totonu lahi hake ʻemau kau kia Tevita ʻiate kimoutolu: ko ia ko e hā kuo mou paetaku ai kiate kimautolu ʻi he ʻikai tomuʻa kumi ʻemau lea ʻamautolu ki he toe ʻomi ʻa homau tuʻi?” Pea naʻe mālohi hake ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae kau tangata Siuta ʻi he ngaahi lea naʻe fai ʻe he kau tangata ʻIsileli.
