2 Samuel 21
1 And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said: 'It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites.'
Hili ia naʻe ai ʻae honge ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Tevita ʻi he ngaahi taʻu tukufakaholo; pea naʻe fakafehuʻi ʻe Tevita kia Sihova. Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe Sihova, “Ko e meʻa ʻeni ʻia Saula, pea koeʻuhi ko hono fale kuo pani toto, he naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae kakai Kipione.”
2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them — now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them; and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah —
Pea naʻe ui ʻe he tuʻi ki he kakai Kipione, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu: (ka ko eni naʻe ʻikai ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae kakai Kipione, ka ko e toenga ʻoe kau ʻAmoli; pea kuo fefuakavaʻaki mo kinautolu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻe kumi ʻe Saula ke tāmateʻi kinautolu ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fai velenga ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mo Siuta.)
3 and David said unto the Gibeonites: 'What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?'
Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Tevita ki he kau Kipione, “Ko e hā te u fai maʻamoutolu? Pea te u fai ʻaki ʻae hā ʻae fakalelei, koeʻuhi ke mou tāpuakiʻi ʻae tofiʻa ʻo Sihova?”
4 And the Gibeonites said unto him: 'It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul, or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel.' And he said: 'What say ye that I should do for you?'
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai Kipione kiate ia, “ʻE ʻikai te mau maʻu ha siliva pe ha koula meia Saula pe mei hono fale; pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tāmateʻi ha tangata ʻi ʻIsileli koeʻuhi ko kimautolu.” Pea naʻe talaange ʻe ia, “Ko e meʻa te mou lea ki ai, ko ia pe te u fai maʻamoutolu.”
5 And they said unto the king: 'The man that consumed us, and that devised against us, so that we have been destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
Pea naʻa nau pehēange ki he tuʻi, “ʻIlonga ʻae tangata ʻaia naʻe keina kimautolu, pea naʻa ne fakakaukau ke tuʻusi mo fakaʻauha kimautolu ke ʻoua naʻa mau kei nofo ʻi ha potu fonua ʻo ʻIsileli,
6 let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.' And the king said: 'I will deliver them.'
Tuku ke ʻomi kiate kimautolu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitu mei hono ngaahi foha ʻoʻona, pea te mau tautau kinautolu kia Sihova ʻi Kipea ʻo Saula, ʻaia naʻe fili ʻe Sihova.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Te u ʻatu [ʻakinautolu].”
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD'S oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
Ka naʻe fakahaofi ʻe he tuʻi ʻa Mifiposeti, ko e foha ʻo Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Saula, koeʻuhi ko e fuakava ʻia Sihova naʻe ʻiate kinaua ʻaia naʻe fefaiʻaki ʻe Tevita mo Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Saula.
8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite;
Ka naʻe ʻave ʻe he tuʻi ʻae ongo tama ʻa Lisipa ko e taʻahine ʻa ʻAia, ʻaia naʻa ne fānau kia Saula, ko ʻAlamoni pea mo Mifiposeti; pea mo e tama ʻe toko nima ʻo Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula, ʻaia naʻa ne fanauʻi kia ʻAtilili ko e foha ʻo Pasilai ko e tangata Mihola:
9 and he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before the LORD, and they fell all seven together; and they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
Pea naʻa ne tukuange kinautolu ki he nima ʻoe kakai Kipione, pea naʻa nau tautau ʻakinautolu ʻi he moʻunga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe tō hifo fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe toko fitu, pea naʻe tāmateʻi kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ututaʻu, ʻi he ngaahi ʻuluaki ʻaho, ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe utu ʻae paʻale.
10 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured upon them from heaven; and she suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻae tauangaʻa ʻe Lisipa ko e taʻahine ʻo ʻAia, mo ne folofolahi ia maʻana ʻi he funga maka, talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻoe ututaʻu ʻo aʻu ki heʻene tō hifo ʻae vai ki ai mei he langi, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻae fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā ke tuʻu ki ai ʻi he ʻaho, pe ko e fanga manu ʻoe fonua ʻi he pō.
11 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
Pea naʻe tala kia Tevita ʻae meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Lisipa koe taʻahine ʻo ʻAia koe sinifu ʻo Saula.
12 And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day that the Philistines slew Saul in Gilboa;
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Tevita ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae ngaahi hui ʻo Saula, pea mo e ngaahi hui ʻo Sonatane ko hono foha, mei he kakai ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻave fakafufū ia mei he hala ʻi Pete-Sani, ʻaia naʻe tautau ia ʻi ai ʻe he kakai Filisitia, hili ʻae tāmateʻi ʻa Saula ʻe he kau Filisitia ʻi Kilipoa:
13 and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi mei ai ʻae ngaahi hui ʻo Saula, mo e ngaahi hui ʻo Sonatane ko hono foha; pea naʻa nau tānaki ʻae ngaahi hui ʻonautolu naʻe tautau.
14 And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father; and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.
Pea naʻa nau tanu ʻae ngaahi hui ʻo Saula mo Sonatane ko hono foha ʻi he fonua ʻo Penisimani ʻi Sela, ki he faʻitoka ʻo Kisi ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻa nau fai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fekauʻi ʻe he tuʻi. Pea hili ia naʻe ongongofua ʻae ʻOtua[ki he kole ]koeʻuhi ko e fonua.
15 And the Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines; and David waxed faint.
Ka ko eni foki naʻe toe fai ʻae tau ki ʻIsileli ʻe he kakai Filisitia; pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Tevita, pea mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki mo ia, [ʻonau ]tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia, pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ke vaivai ʻa Tevita.
16 And Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with new armour, thought to have slain David.
Pea ko Isipo-Pinopi, ko e tokotaha ʻi he fānau ʻa Lafa, ʻaia naʻe tatau ʻae mamafa ʻo hono mui tao mo e [sikeli ]palasa ʻe tolungeau, kuo ʻai ʻe ia ha mahafu foʻou, pea naʻa ne ʻamanaki ke tāmateʻi ʻa Tevita.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore unto him, saying: 'Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel.'
Ka naʻe tokoni kiate ia ʻe ʻApisai ko e tama ʻo Seluia, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻae tangata Filisitia, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia. Pea naʻe toki fuakava ʻae kau tangata ʻo Tevita kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai siʻi te ke toe ʻalu atu mo kimautolu ki he tau, telia naʻa ke fuʻifuʻi ʻae maama ʻo ʻIsileli.”
18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
Pea hili foki eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe toe fai ʻae tau mo e kakai Filisitia ʻi Kopo: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻa Safi ʻaia naʻe ʻoe fānau ʻa Lafa ʻe Sipikei ko e tangata Husati.
19 And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
Pea naʻe toe ai mo e tau ʻi Kopo ki he kakai Filisitia, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ai ʻe Elihanani ko e foha ʻo Saele-Olikimi, ko e tangata Petelihema, ʻae tehina ʻo Koloaʻia ko e tangata Kati ʻaia naʻe tatau ʻae kau ʻo hono tao mo e ʻakau ʻoe tangata lalanga.
20 And there was again war at Gath, where was a champion, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
Pea naʻe toe fai mo e tau ʻe taha ʻi Kati, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ha tangata naʻe sino lōloa, ʻaia naʻe maʻu ʻae louhiʻi nima ʻe ono ʻi hono nima fakatouʻosi, pea ʻi hono vaʻe fakatouʻosi ʻae louhiʻi vaʻe ʻe ono, ko hono lau fakataha ko e uofulu ma fā; pea naʻe fanauʻi foki ia kia Lafa.
21 And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.
Pea ʻi heʻene manuki ki ʻIsileli naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Simia ko e tokoua ʻo Tevita.
22 These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Naʻe fanauʻi ʻae toko fā ni ki he fuʻu tangata lahi ʻi Kati, pea naʻa nau tō ki lalo ʻi he nima ʻo Tevita, pea mo e nima ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
