2 Samuel 15
1 And it was from after thus and he acquired for himself Absalom a chariot and horses and fifty man [who] ran before him.
Pea hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe teuteu ʻe ʻApisalomi ʻae ngaahi saliote maʻana mo e fanga hoosi, pea mo e kau tangata ʻe toko nimangofulu ke lele muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia.
2 And he rose early Absalom and he stood at [the] side of [the] road of the gate and it was every person whom it belonged to him a case at law to come to the king for judgment and he called out Absalom to him and he said where? from this city [are] you and he said [is] from one of [the] tribes of Israel servant your.
Pea naʻe faʻa tuʻu hake hengihengi ʻa ʻApisalomi, ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ʻoe kolo: pea ka ai ha tokotaha kuo ai haʻane meʻa ke fakamaauʻi, pea haʻu ia ki he tuʻi ke fai hono fakamaauʻi, pehē, ne ui mai ia ʻe ʻApisalomi kiate ia, mo ne pehē, “Ko e kolo fē ia ʻoku ke haʻu mei ai?” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko e tokotaha mei he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli.”
3 And he said to him Absalom see matter your [are] good and right and [one who] hears not [belongs] to you from with the king.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻApisalomi kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo lelei mo totonu ʻa hoʻo ngaahi meʻa; ka ʻoku ʻikai ha taha mei he tuʻi ke fanongo kiate koe.”
4 And he said Absalom who? will he make me a judge in the land and to me he will come every person whom it belongs to him a case at law and a judgment and I will do justice him.
Naʻe pehē foki ʻe ʻApisalomi, “Taumaiā kuo fakanofo au ke fakamaau ʻi he fonua, koeʻuhi ke haʻu kiate au ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku ai haʻane meʻa ke ʻekeʻi pe fakamaauʻi, pea te u fai angatonu ʻeau kiate ia!”
5 And it was when drew near anyone to bow down to him and he stretched out hand his and he took hold of him and he kissed him.
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻo ofi ha tokotaha kiate ia ke fai ʻene fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia, naʻa ne faʻa mafao atu hono nima, ke faʻofua ki ai mo ʻuma kiate ia.
6 And he did Absalom according to the manner this to all Israel who they came for judgment to the king and he stole Absalom [the] heart of [the] men of Israel.
Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe ʻApisalomi ki he kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe haʻu ki he tuʻi ke fakamaauʻi: pea naʻe pehē pe ʻae kaihaʻasi ʻe ʻApisalomi ʻae loto ʻoe kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli.
7 And it was from [the] end of forty year[s] and he said Absalom to the king let me go please so I may pay vow my which I vowed to Yahweh in Hebron.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi heʻene hili mai ʻae taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, naʻe lea ʻa ʻApisalomi ki he tuʻi, [ʻo pehē], “ʻOku ou kole ke ke tuku au ke u ʻalu ʻo fai ʻa ʻeku fuakava, ʻaia kuo u fuakava kia Sihova, ʻi Hepeloni.
8 For a vow he vowed servant your when dwelt I at Geshur in Aram saying if (certainly *Q(K)*) he will bring back me Yahweh Jerusalem and I will serve Yahweh (in Hebron. *X*)
He naʻe fai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ha fuakava lolotonga ʻa ʻeku nofo ʻi Kesuli ʻi Silia, ʻo pehē, ‘Kapau ʻe toe ʻomi moʻoni au ki Selūsalema, te u toki tauhi ai kia Sihova.’”
9 And he said to him the king go in peace and he arose and he went Hebron towards.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ke ke ʻalu ʻi he fiemālie.” Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake ai, mo ne ʻalu ki Hepeloni.
10 And he sent Absalom spies in all [the] tribes of Israel saying when hear you [the] sound of the ram's horn and you will say he has become king Absalom in Hebron.
Ka naʻe fekau atu ʻe ʻApisalomi ʻae kau mataki ki he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē, “Ka mou ka fanongo leva ki he leʻo ʻoe meʻalea, te mou toki pehē, ‘Kuo pule ʻa ʻApisalomi ʻi Hepeloni.’”
11 And with Absalom they went two hundred man from Jerusalem [those who] were invited and [those who] were going to innocence their and not they knew any thing.
Pea naʻe ʻalu fakataha mo ʻApisalomi mei Selūsalema ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko uangeau naʻe fili; pea naʻa nau ʻalu fakafaai noa ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo ha meʻa.
12 And he sent Absalom Ahithophel the Gilonite [the] counselor of David from city his from Giloh when sacrificed he the sacrifices and it was the conspiracy strong and the people [was] going and numerous with Absalom.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ʻApisalomi kia ʻAhitofeli ko e tangata Kilo, ko e taha ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻo Tevita, ke haʻu mei hono kolo ko Kilo, lolotonga ʻa ʻene fai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau. Pea naʻe tuʻu kaukaua ʻae fakaaoao; he naʻe tupu ke tokolahi maʻuaipē ʻae kakai naʻe kau mo ʻApisalomi.
13 And he came the messenger to David saying it is [the] heart of [the] man of Israel after Absalom.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae talafekau kia Tevita, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo muimui ʻae loto ʻoe kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli kia ʻApisalomi.”
14 And he said David to all servants his who [were] with him in Jerusalem arise so let us flee for not it will belong to us an escape from before Absalom hurry to go lest he should hurry and he will overtake us and he will thrust on us calamity and he will strike the city to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi Selūsalema, “Tuʻu hake, pea ke tau hola; he ka ʻikai pea ʻe ʻikai te tau hao meia ʻApisalomi: fakatoʻotoʻo ke tau ʻalu, telia naʻa ne hoko fakafokifā mai, pea ne ʻomi ʻae kovi kiate kitautolu, pea ne teʻia ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā.”
15 And they said [the] servants of the king to the king according to all that he will choose lord my the king here! [are] servants your.
Pea naʻe pehē ki he tuʻi ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi, “Vakai, ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki kimautolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia te ke fekau mai.”
16 And he went out the king and all household his at feet his and he left the king ten women concubines to keep the house.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tuʻi, pea naʻe muimui kiate ia ʻa ʻene kaunga nofoʻanga kotoa pē. Pea naʻe tuku ʻe he tuʻi ʻae kau fefine ʻe toko hongofulu, ko e sinifu, ke nau tauhi ʻae fale.
17 And he went out the king and all the people at feet his and they stood [the] house of the distance.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tuʻi, pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ki ha potu ʻaia naʻe mamaʻo atu, ʻo nofo ʻi ai.
18 And all servants his [were] passing by at side his and all the Kerethite[s] and all the Pelethite[s] and all the Gittites six hundred man who they had come at foot his from Gath [were] passing by at [the] face of the king.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu mo ia ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki; pea naʻe ʻalu ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻi he tuʻi ʻae kakai Keliti, mo e kakai Peleti, pea mo e kakai Kati, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau ʻaia naʻe muimui kiate ia mei Kati.
19 And he said the king to Ittai the Gittite why? will you go also you with us return and dwell with the king for [are] a foreigner you and also [are] an exile you to place your.
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi kia Itei ko e tangata Kati, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke haʻu ai koe mo kimautolu? Toe foki ki hoʻo potu, pea nofo mo e tuʻi: he ko e muli koe, pea ko e ʻāunofo pe foki.
20 [was] yesterday - Coming you and this day (will I make wander? you *Q(K)*) with us to go and I [am] going to where I [am] going return and take back brothers your [be] with you covenant loyalty and truth.
Hangē pe naʻa ke haʻu ʻaneafi, pea ʻe lelei koā ʻa ʻeku ʻave koe he ʻaho ni ke hē fano pe mo kimautolu? Koeʻuhi te u ʻalu au ko ʻeku fai faʻiteliha pe, ka ke tafoki koe, pea toe ʻave ho kāinga, pea ke ʻiate koe ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni.”
21 And he answered Ittai the king and he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of lord my the king that except in [the] place where he will be there - lord my the king whether for death or for life for there he will be servant your.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe Itei ki he tuʻi, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻi he potu moʻoni ko ia ʻe ʻi ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻi he mate pe ʻi he moʻui, ʻi he potu pe ko ia ʻe ʻi ai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.”
22 And he said David to Ittai come and pass on and he passed on Ittai the Gittite and all men his and all the little one[s] who [were] with him.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Itei, “ʻAlu pea ke mole atu.” Pea naʻe aʻa atu ʻa Itei ko e tangata Kati, pea mo ʻene kakai kotoa pē, pea mo ʻene fānau iiki kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu mo ia.
23 And all the land [were] weeping a voice great and all the people [were] passing by and the king [was] passing in [the] wadi of Kidron and all the people [were] passing on on [the] face of [the] road the wilderness.
Pea naʻe tangi ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, pea naʻe aʻa atu ʻae kakai kotoa pē: naʻe aʻa atu foki ʻae tuʻi ʻi he vaitafe ko Kitiloni, pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo hanga ki he hala ki he toafa.
24 And there! also Zadok and all the Levites with him [were] carrying [the] ark of [the] covenant of God and they set down [the] ark of God and he went up Abiathar until was finished all the people to pass out from the city.
Pea vakai, ko Satoki foki, pea mo e kau Livai kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, naʻa nau fua ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua: pea naʻa nau tuku hifo ʻae puha tapu ʻae ʻOtua; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa ʻApiata kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae ʻalu atu ʻae kakai kotoa pē mei he kolo.
25 And he said the king to Zadok take back [the] ark of God the city if I will find favor in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he will bring back me and he will show me it and habitation his.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Satoki, “Toe ʻave ʻae puha tapu ʻae ʻOtua ki he kolo: kapau ʻe ʻofeina au ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, te ne toe ʻomi au, ʻo ne fakahā ia kiate au pea mo hono fale nofoʻanga:
26 And if thus he will say not I delight in you here [am] I let him do to me just as it is good in view his.
Pea kapau te ne pehē mai, ‘ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha fiemālie ʻiate koe; vakai, ko au eni, tuku ke ne fai kiate au ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku lelei kiate ia.’”
27 And he said the king to Zadok the priest ¿ a seer [are] you return! the city in peace and Ahimaaz son your and Jonathan [the] son of Abiathar [the] two sons your with you.
Naʻe pehē foki ʻe he tuʻi kia Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, “ʻIkai ko e tangata kikite koe? Foki atu ki he kolo ʻi he fiemālie, ʻa koe mo ho ongo foha ʻe toko ua, ʻa ʻAhimasi ko ho foha ʻoʻou, pea mo Sonatane ko e foha ʻo ʻApiata.
28 See I [will] delay (in [the] desert plains of *Q(K)*) the wilderness until comes word from with you to tell to me.
Vakai, te u nofo tatali pe au ʻi he potu tafangafanga ʻoe toafa, kaeʻoua ke ʻomi ha lea meiate kimoutolu ke fakamatala kiate au.”
29 And he took back Zadok and Abiathar [the] ark of God Jerusalem and they remained there.
Ko ia naʻe toe ʻave ai ʻae puha tapu ʻae ʻOtua ki Selūsalema ʻe Satoki pea mo ʻApiata, pea naʻa na tatali ʻo nofo ʻi ai.
30 And David [was] going up on [the] ascent of the olive trees going up - and weeping and head of him [was] covered and he [was] walking barefoot and all the people which [was] with him they covered each head his and they went up continuously and wept.
Pea naʻe fofonga hake ʻe Tevita ʻi he hakeʻanga ʻo ʻOlive, pea naʻa ne tangi pe mo ʻalu hake, pea naʻe pūlou ʻa hono ʻulu pea naʻa ne ʻalu kuo telefua pe ʻa hono vaʻe: pea ko e kakai fulipē naʻe ʻiate ia, naʻe pūlou taki taha ʻe he tangata ʻa hono ʻulu, pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake, pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake pe mo e fai ʻae tangi.
31 And David someone told saying Ahithophel [is] among the conspirators with Absalom and he said David make foolish please [the] counsel of Ahithophel O Yahweh.
Pea naʻe tala ʻe he tokotaha kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, Kuo kau ʻa ʻAhitofeli ki he kau fakaaoao ʻoku ʻia ʻApisalomi. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke liliu ke vale ʻae fakakaukau ʻa ʻAhitofeli.”
32 And he was David coming to the top where he bowed down there to God and there! to meet him Hushai the Arkite [was] torn tunic his and earth [was] on head his.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hoko hake ʻa Tevita ki he tumutumu [ʻoe moʻunga], ʻaia naʻa ne lotu ai ki he ʻOtua, vakai, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻa Husai ko e tangata ʻAliki, kuo mahaehae hono kofutuʻa, pea [pani ʻaki ]ʻae kelekele ʻa hono ʻulu:
33 And he said to him David if you pass over with me and you will become on me a burden.
ʻAia naʻe pehē ki ai ʻe Tevita, “Kapau te ta ō mo au, te ke hoko ko e fakamāfasia kiate au:
34 And if the city you will return and you will say to Absalom servant your I O king I will be [was] [the] servant of father your I from then and now I [will be] servant your and you will frustrate for me [the] counsel of Ahithophel.
Ka ka ke ka toe ʻalu ki he kolo, pea ke pehē kia ʻApisalomi, ʻE Tuʻi, te u hoko au ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki; naʻaku tauhi ki hoʻo tamai ʻo aʻu mai ki he kuonga ni, pea ko eni te u tauhi kiate koe: pea ko e meʻa ia te ke faʻa veuveuki ai ʻae fakakaukau ʻa ʻAhitofeli.
35 And ¿ not with you there [are] Zadok and Abiathar the priests and it will be every word which you will hear from [the] house of the king you will tell to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests.
Pea ʻikai ʻe ʻi ai mo koe ʻa Satoki pea mo ʻApiata ko e [ongo ]taulaʻeiki? Pea ko ia ʻe pehē pe, ko ia kotoa pē te ke fanongo ki ai mei he fale ʻoe tuʻi, te ke fakahā ia kia Satoki pea mo ʻApiata ko e [ongo ]taulaʻeiki.
36 There! there [are] with them [the] two sons their Ahimaaz of Zadok and Jonathan of Abiathar and you will send by hand their to me every word which you will hear.
Pea vakai, ʻoku ʻiate kinaua hona ongo foha ʻe toko ua, ʻa ʻAhimasi ko e foha ʻo Satoki, pea mo Sonatane ko e foha ʻo ʻApiata; pea te ke ʻomi ʻiate kinaua ʻae tala ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia te ke faʻa fanongo ki ai.”
37 And he came Hushai [the] friend of David the city and Absalom he came Jerusalem.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ki he kolo ʻa Husai ko e kāinga ʻo Tevita, pea naʻe hoko mai ʻa ʻApisalomi ki Selūsalema.
