Kings III 2
1 And the days of David drew near that he should die: and he addressed his son Solomon, saying, I go the way of all the earth:
Pea ko eni naʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Tevita ke ne pekia ai; pea naʻa ne tukutala kia Solomone ko hono ʻAlo, ʻo pehē,
2 but be you strong, and show yourself a man;
“ʻOku ou ʻalu au ʻi he hala ʻo māmani kotoa pē: ko ia ke ke mālohi koe, pea ke fai ʻo ngalingali tangata:
3 and keep the charge of the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, to keep the commandments and the ordinances and the judgments which are written in the law of Moses; that you may understand what you shall do in all things that I command you:
Pea ke tauhi ki he fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke ʻeveʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi hala, pea ke fai ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻene ngaahi fekau, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, mo ʻene fakamoʻoni kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese, koeʻuhi ke ke monūʻia ai ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke fai, pea ʻi he potu fulipē te ke ʻalu ki ai:
4 that the Lord may confirm his word which he spoke, saying, If your children shall take heed to their way to walk before me in truth with all their heart, [I promise you], saying, there shall not fail you a man on the throne of Israel.
Koeʻuhi ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene folofola ʻaia naʻa ne lea ʻaki koeʻuhi ko au, ʻo pehē, ‘Kapau ʻe tokanga ʻe hoʻo fānau ki honau hala, ke ʻaʻeva ʻi hoku ʻao ʻi he moʻoni ʻaki ʻa honau loto kotoa mo honau laumālie kotoa, (naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, ) ʻe ʻikai te ke masiva tangata koe ke nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.’
5 Moreover you know all that Joab the son of Saruia did to me, what he did to the two captains of the forces of Israel, to Abenner the son of Ner, and to Amessai the son of Jether, that he killed them, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put innocent blood on his girdle that was about his loins, and on his sandal that was on his foot.
Pea ʻoku ke ʻilo foki, ʻaia naʻe fai kiate au ʻe Soape ko e tama ʻa Seluia, mo ia naʻa ne fai ki he ongo ʻeiki ʻe toko ua ʻoe kautau ʻo ʻIsileli, kia ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea, pea kia ʻAmasa ko e foha ʻo Seteli, ʻaia naʻa ne tāmateʻi, ʻo ne lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe tau lolotonga ʻae melino, ʻo ne unu ʻi he toto ʻoe tau ʻa hono nonoʻo naʻe noʻotaki ʻaki hono kongaloto, pea mo ʻene topuvaʻe ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono vaʻe.
6 Therefore you shall deal [with him] according to your wisdom, and you shall not bring down his grey hairs in peace to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Ko ia fai ʻo fakatatau mo hoʻo poto, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke ʻalu hifo ʻa hono ʻuluhinā, ki he faʻitoka ʻi he melino. (Sheol h7585)
7 But you shall deal kindly with the sons of Berzelli the Galaadite, and they shall be among those that eat at your table; for thus they drew near to me when I fled from the face of your brother Abessalom.
Ka ke fakahā ʻae ʻofa ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Pasilai ko e tangata Kiliati, pea tuku ke nau ʻiate kinautolu ʻe kai mei hoʻo keinangaʻanga: he naʻa nau fai pehē kiate au ʻi heʻeku hola koeʻuhi ko ʻApisalomi ko ho taʻokete.
8 And, behold, [there is] with you Semei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Baurim: and he cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went into the camp; and he came down to Jordan to meet me, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put you to death with the sword.
Pea vakai, “ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻa Simi ko e foha ʻo Kela, ko e tangata Penisimani mei Pahulimi, ʻaia naʻe kape kiate au ʻi he kape lahi ʻi he ʻaho ʻaia naʻaku ʻalu ai ki Mehanemi: ka naʻa ne ʻohifo kiate au ke ma fetaulaki ki Sioatani, pea naʻaku fuakava kiate ia ʻia Sihova, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te u tāmateʻi koe ʻaki ʻae heletā.’
9 But you shall by no means hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man, and will know what you shall do to him, and shall bring down his grey hairs with blood to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Ka ko eni, ʻoua naʻa ke lau ia ko e taʻehalaia: he ko e tangata poto koe, pea ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻae meʻa ʻoku totonu ke ke fai kiate ia; ka ke ʻohifo ʻe koe ʻa hono ʻuluhinā ki he faʻitoka mo e toto.” (Sheol h7585)
10 And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
Pea pehē, naʻe mohe ʻa Tevita mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai ʻene putu ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita.
11 And the days which David reigned over Israel [were] forty years; he reigned seven years in Chebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
Pea ko e kuonga naʻe pule ai ʻa Tevita ki ʻIsileli ko e taʻu ʻe fāngofulu: ko e taʻu ʻe fitu naʻa ne pule ai ʻi Hepeloni, pea ko e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma tolu naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema.
12 And Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was established greatly.
Pea naʻe toki nofo ʻa Solomone ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻene tamai ko Tevita pea naʻe fakatuʻumaʻu ʻaupito ʻa hono puleʻanga.
13 And Adonias the son of Aggith came in to Bersabee the mother of Solomon, and did obeisance to her: and she said, Do you enter peaceably? and he said, Peaceably:
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻAtunaisa ko e tama ʻa Hakiti kia Patisepa, ko e faʻē ʻa Solomone. Pea naʻa ne pehē mai ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku ke haʻu fakamelino pe?” Pea naʻe pehē atu ʻe ia, “Ko e melino pe.”
14 I have business with you. And she said to him, Say on.
Naʻa ne pehē foki ʻe ia, “ʻOku ai ha meʻa ʻoku ou fie lea ai kiate koe.” Pea naʻa ne pehē atu, “Ke ke lea pe.”
15 And he said to her, You know that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel turned their face toward me for a king; but the kingdom was turned [from me] and became my brother's: for it was [appointed] to him from the Lord.
Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo naʻe ʻoʻoku ʻae puleʻanga, pea naʻe hanga mai kiate au ʻae mata kotoa pē ʻi ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke u hoko ʻo pule: ka ko eni kuo liliu ʻae puleʻanga, pea kuo hoko ia ki hoku tokoua: he naʻe ʻoʻona ia meia Sihova.
16 And now I make one request of you, do not turn away your face. And Bersabee said to him, Speak [on].
Pea ko eni ko e meʻa pe taha ʻoku ou kole meiate koe, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakaʻikai mai.” Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ke ke lea pe.”
17 And he said to her, Speak, I pray you, to king Solomon, for he will not turn away his face from you, and let him give me Abisag the Somanite for a wife.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke lea kia Solomone ko e tuʻi (he koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻikai mai kiate koe, ) ke ne foaki mai ʻa ʻApisaki ko e fefine Sunemi ke ma mali.”
18 And Bersabee said, Well; I will speak for you to the king.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Patisepa, “ʻOku lelei te u lea maʻau ki he tuʻi.”
19 And Bersabee went in to king Solomon to speak to him concerning Adonias; and the king rose up to meet her, and kissed her, and sat on the throne, and a throne was set for the mother of the king, and she sat on his right hand.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Patisepa ki he tuʻi ko Solomone ke lea kiate ia maʻa ʻAtunaisa. “Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi ke fetaulaki kiate ia, pea naʻa ne punou kiate ia, mo ne nofo hifo ki hono nofoʻanga fakatuʻi, pea naʻa ne fekau ke te u ha nofoʻa maʻae faʻē ʻae tuʻi; pea naʻe nofo ia ki hono nima toʻomataʻu.
20 And she said to him, I ask of you one little request; turn not away my face from you. And the king said to her, Ask, my mother, and I will not reject you.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole meiate koe ʻae meʻa siʻi pe taha; ʻoua naʻa ke pehē mai ʻikai.” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ke ke fai pe hoʻo kole, ʻa ʻeku faʻē: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u pehē atu ʻikai.”
21 And she said, Let, I pray you, Abisag the Somanite be given to Adonias your brother to wife.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Tuku ke ʻatu ʻa ʻApisaki ko e fefine Sunemi kia ʻAtunaisa koho tokoua ke na mali.”
22 And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why have you asked Abisag for Adonias? ask for him the kingdom also; for he [is] my elder brother, and he has for his companion Abiathar the priest, and Joab the son of Saruia the commander-in-chief.
Pea naʻe talaange ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone ki heʻene faʻē, ʻo pehē, “Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke kole ai ʻa ʻApisaki ko e fefine Sunemi maʻa ʻAtunaisa? Kole foki maʻana ʻae puleʻanga; he ko hoku taʻokete ia; ʻio, maʻana, pea mo ʻApaiata ko e taulaʻeiki, pea maʻa Soape ko e tama ʻa Seluia.”
23 And king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, God do so to me, and more also, [if it be not] that Adonias has spoken this word against his own life.
Pea naʻe toki fuakava ai ʻa Solomone ʻia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Ke fai pehē kiate au ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo lahi hake foki, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai mate ʻa ʻAtunaisa koeʻuhi ko ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni.
24 And now [as] the Lord lives who has established me, and set me on the throne of my father David, and he has made me a house, as the Lord spoke, this day shall Adonias be put to death.
Pea ko ia, ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ne fakamālohiʻi au, ʻo ne hiki hake au ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻeku tamai ko Tevita, pea kuo ne fokotuʻu ha fale moʻoku, ʻo hangē ko ʻene talaʻofa, pea ʻe mate tāmateʻi ʻa ʻAtunaisa he ʻaho ni.”
25 So king Solomon sent by the hand of Banaeas the son of Jodae, and he killed him, and Adonias died in that day.
Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata; pea naʻa ne hoko atu kiate ia pea naʻa ne mate ai.
26 And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Depart you quickly to Anathoth to your farm, for you are worthy of death this day; but I will not kill you, because you have borne the ark of the covenant of the Lord before my father, and because you was afflicted in all things wherein my father was afflicted.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia ʻApaiata ko e taulaʻeiki, “ʻAlu ko e ki ʻAnatoti, ki ho potu fonua ʻoʻou; he ʻoku totonu ke ke mate koe; ka ʻe ʻikai te u tāmateʻi koe ʻi he kuonga ni, koeʻuhi naʻa ke fua ʻae puha tapu ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, pea koeʻuhi naʻa ke mamahi koe ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe mamahi ai ʻa ʻeku tamai.”
27 And Solomon removed Abiathar from being a priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke concerning the house of Heli in Selom.
Ko ia naʻe kapusi ai ʻa ʻApaiata ʻe Solomone mei heʻene [ngāue ]fakataulaʻeiki kia Sihova; koeʻuhi ke ne fakamoʻoni ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ki he fale ʻo Ilai ʻi Sailo.
28 And the report came to Joab son of Saruia; for Joab had turned after Adonias, and he went not after Solomon: and Joab fled to the tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold of the horns of the altar.
Pea naʻe toki ʻomi ʻa hono ongoongo kia Soape: he naʻe liliu ʻa Soape ke muimui kia ʻAtunaisa, ka naʻe ʻikai muimui ia kia ʻApisalomi. Pea naʻe hola ʻa Soape ki he fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne puke atu ki he nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.
29 And it was told Solomon, saying, Joab has fled to the tabernacle of the Lord, and behold! he has hold of the horns of the altar. And king Solomon sent to Joab, saying, What ails you, that you have fled to the altar? and Joab said, Because I was afraid of you, and fled for refuge to the Lord. And Solomon sent Banaeas son of Jodae, saying, Go and kill him, and bury him.
Pea naʻe fakahā ia ki he tuʻi ko Solomone ʻo pehē, kuo hola ʻa Soape ki he fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova; pea vakai, kuo ofi atu ia ki he feilaulauʻanga. Pea naʻe toki fekauʻi ʻe Solomone ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAlu, ʻo taaʻi ia,”
30 And Banaeas son of Jodae came to Joab to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him, Thus says the king, Come forth. And Joab said, I will not come forth, for I will die here. And Banaeas son of Jodae returned and spoke to the king, saying, Thus has Joab spoken, and thus has he answered me.
Pea naʻe hoko atu ʻa Penaia ki he fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe he tuʻi, Ke ke tuʻu mai.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE ʻikai; ka te u mate pe ʻi heni.” Pea naʻe toe ʻomi hono tala ʻe Penaia ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe pehē ʻae lea ʻa Soape, pea naʻe pehē ni ʻa ʻene talia au.”
31 And the king said to him, Go, and do to him as he has spoken, and kill him: and you shall bury him, and you shall remove this day the blood which he shed without cause, from me and from the house of my father.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ke ke fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene lau, pea ke taaʻi ia, mo tanu; koeʻuhi ke ke ʻave ai ʻae toto taʻehalaia ʻaia naʻe lilingi ʻe Soape, meiate au, pea mei he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai.
32 And the Lord has returned upon his own head the blood of his unrighteousness, inasmuch as he attacked two men more righteous and better than himself, and killed them with the sword, and my father David knew not of their blood, [even] Abenner the son of Ner the commander-in-chief of Israel, and Amessa the son of Jether the commander-in-chief of Juda.
Pea ʻe tuku ʻe Sihova ʻa hono toto ki hono ʻulu ʻoʻona, ʻaia naʻe teʻia ʻae ongo tangata naʻe māʻoniʻoni mo lelei hake ʻiate ia, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻakinaua ʻaki ʻae heletā, ka naʻe taʻeʻilo ki ai ʻa ʻeku tamai ko Tevita; ʻio, ʻa ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea, ko e ʻeiki pule ki he kautau ʻo ʻIsileli, mo ʻAmasa, ko e foha ʻo Seteli, ko e ʻeiki pule ki he kautau ʻo Siuta.
33 And their blood is returned upon his head, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but to David, and his seed, and his house, and his throne, may there be peace for ever from the Lord.
Ko ia ʻe foki atu ai ʻa hona toto ki he ʻulu ʻo Soape, pea ki he ʻulu ʻo hono hako ʻo taʻengata: ka ko Tevita, pea ki hono hako ʻoʻona, pea ki hono fale, pea ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, ʻe ʻi ai ʻae melino meia Sihova, ʻo taʻengata.”
34 So Banaeas son of Jodae went up, and attacked him, and killed him, and buried him in his house in the wilderness.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, pea naʻa ne hoko atu kiate ia, mo ne tāmateʻi ia: pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona ʻi he toafa.
35 And the king appointed Banaeas son of Jodae in his place over the host; and the kingdom was established in Jerusalem; and [as for] Sadoc the priest, the king appointed him to be high priest in the room of Abiathar. And Solomon son of David reigned over Israel and Juda in Jerusalem: and the Lord gave understanding to Solomon, and very much wisdom, and largeness of heart, as the sand by the sea-shore.
Pea naʻe tuku ʻe he tuʻi ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata ke fetongi ia ʻi he pule ki he kautau: pea naʻe tuku ʻe he tuʻi ʻa Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki ke ne fetongi ʻa ʻApaiata.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ne ui mai ʻa Simi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Langa ʻe koe moʻou ha fale ʻi Selūsalema, pea nofo ai, pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu atu mei ai ki ha potu kehe.
He ko e moʻoni, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te ke ʻalu atu, mo ke Lakaatu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Kitiloni, ke ke ʻilo fakapapau te ke mate moʻoni ai: ʻe ʻi ho ʻulu ʻoʻou pe ho toto.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Simi ki he tuʻi, “ʻOku lelei ʻae lea ko eni: ʻo hangē ko ia kuo lea ʻaki ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻe pehē ʻae fai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.” Pea naʻe nofo fuoloa ʻa Simi ʻi Selūsalema.
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻosi ʻae taʻu ʻe tolu naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe hola ʻae ongo tamaioʻeiki ʻa Simi kia ʻAkisi ko e foha ʻo Meaka ko e tuʻi ʻo Kati. Pea naʻa nau fakahā ange kia Simi, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, kuo ʻi Kati ʻa hoʻo ongo tamaioʻeiki.”
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Simi, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae hekaʻanga ki heʻene ʻasi, pea ʻalu ia ki Kati kia ʻAkisi ke kumi ki heʻene ongo tamaioʻeiki: pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Simi, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa ʻene ongo tamaioʻeiki mei Kati.
Pea naʻe fakahā kia Solomone, kuo ʻalu ʻa Simi mei Selūsalema ki Kati, pea kuo toe liu mai.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ne ui mai ʻa Simi, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻIkai naʻaku fekauʻi koe ke ke fuakava ʻia Sihova, pea u lea mamafa kiate koe, ʻo pehē, Ke ke ʻilo fakapapau, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te ke ʻalu atu, mo ʻeveʻeva mamaʻo ki ha potu, ke ke mate moʻoni ai? Pea naʻa ke pehē mai kiate au, ‘ʻOku lelei ʻae lea kuo u fanongo ki ai.’
Ko ia ko e hā kuo ʻikai ai te ke fai ki he fuakava ʻa Sihova, mo e fekau ʻaia kuo u tukupau kiate koe?
Naʻe pehē foki ʻe he tuʻi kia Simi, ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae kovi kotoa pē kuo fufū ʻi ho loto, ʻaia naʻa ke fai kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai: ko ia foki ʻe fakafoki ai ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo kovi ki ho ʻulu ʻoʻou;
Pea ʻe fakamonūʻia ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone, pea ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo Tevita ʻo taʻengata.”
Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi kia Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata; pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia, pea naʻa ne taaʻi ia ke ne mate. Pea naʻe fakamālohi ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he nima ʻo Solomone.
