2 Samuel 4

1 And he heard [the] son of Saul that he had died Abner in Hebron and they dropped hands his and all Israel they were terrified.

Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe he foha ʻo Saula kuo mate ʻa ʻApina ʻi Hepeloni, naʻe vaivai ai hono nima, pea naʻe puputuʻu ai ʻae kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē.

2 And two men commanders of marauding bands they were [the] son of Saul [the] name of the one [was] Baanah and [the] name of the second [was] Rechab [the] sons of Rimmon the Beerothite from [the] descendants of Benjamin for also Beeroth it is reckoned to Benjamin.

Pea naʻe ʻi he foha ʻo Saula ʻae ongo tangata naʻe pule ki he matanga tau; ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Paʻana, pea ko e hingoa ʻoe taha ko Lekapi, ko e ongo foha ʻo Limoni ʻi he kakai Piheloti, ʻi he fānau ʻa Penisimani: (he naʻe lau fakataha ʻa Piheloti mo Penisimani:

3 And they fled the Beerothites Gittaim towards and they have been there sojourners until the day this.

Pea naʻe hola ʻae kakai Piheloti ki Kiteimi, pea naʻa nau ʻāunofo ai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.)

4 And [belonged] to Jonathan [the] son of Saul a son stricken of feet a son of five years he was when came [the] report of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel and she lifted him nurse his and she fled and it was when hurried she to flee and he fell and he became lame and name his [was] Mephibosheth.

Pea naʻe ʻia Sonatane, ko e foha ʻo Saula, ʻae foha naʻe ketu. Naʻe nima taʻu ia ʻi he hā mai ʻae ongoongo ʻia Saula mo Sonatane mei Sesilili, pea naʻe toʻo hake ia ʻe he fefine naʻe tauhi kiate ia, ʻo ne hola: pea pehē, lolotonga ʻa ʻene fai fakatoʻotoʻo ke hola, naʻa ne hinga ʻo ne ketu ai. Pea ko hono hingoa ko Mifiposeti.

5 And they went [the] sons of Rimmon the Beerothite Rechab and Baanah and they came when [the] heat of the day to [the] house of Ish-bosheth and he [was] lying [the] lying of noon.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae ongo foha ʻo Limoni ko e tangata Piheloti, ko Lekapi mo Paʻana, ʻo na omi ki he fale ʻo Isiposeti ʻo feʻunga mo e pupuha ʻoe ʻaho, pea naʻe tokoto ia ʻi ha mohenga ʻi he hoʻatā.

6 And they [fem] they came to [the] middle of the house taking wheat and they struck him to the belly and Rechab and Baanah brother his they escaped.

Pea naʻa na hū atu ki loto fale, ʻo hangē te na fai ke fetuku ha uite pea naʻa na hokaʻi ia ʻi hono fatafata pea naʻe hola ʻo hao ʻa Lekapi mo Paʻana ko hono tokoua.

7 And they came the house and he [was] lying on bed his in [the] chamber of lying down his and they struck him and they killed him and they removed head his and they took head his and they went [the] way of the Arabah all the night.

He koeʻuhi ʻi heʻena hū atu ki fale, naʻa ne tokoto ki hono mohenga ʻi hono loki, pea naʻa na tali ia, ʻo tāmateʻi, ʻo na tutuʻu hono ʻulu, ʻo na ʻave hono ʻulu, pea naʻa na hola ʻi he toafa ʻi he pō kotoa ko ia.

8 And they brought [the] head of Ish-bosheth to David Hebron and they said to the king here! [the] head of Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul enemy your who he sought life your and he has given Yahweh to lord my the king vengeance the day this from Saul and from offspring his.

Pea naʻa na ʻomi ʻae ʻulu ʻo Isiposeti kia Tevita ʻi Hepeloni, ʻo na pehē ki he tuʻi, “Vakai, ko e ʻulu eni ʻo Isiposeti ko e foha ʻo Saula, ko ho fili, ʻaia naʻe kumi ki hoʻo moʻui; pea kuo fai ʻe Sihova ʻae totongi ki heʻeku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi he ʻaho ni, ʻia Saula, pea mo hono hako.”

9 And he answered David Rechab - and Baanah brother his [the] sons of Rimmon the Beerothite and he said to them [by] [the] life of Yahweh who he has ransomed life my from every trouble.

Pea naʻe tali ʻe Tevita kia Lekapi mo Paʻana ko hono tokoua, ko e ongo foha ʻo Limoni ko e tangata Piheloti, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻO hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne huhuʻi hoku laumālie mei he kovi kotoa pē,

10 If the [one who] told to me saying here! he has died Saul and he he was like a bearer of news in own eyes his and I took hold! on him and I killed him in Ziklag that to give I to him good news.

‌ʻI hono fakahā mai ʻe he tokotaha kiate au, ʻo pehē, ‘Vakai, kuo pekia ʻa Saula,’ ko ʻene pehē ko e ongoongolelei kuo ne ʻomi, naʻaku puke ia, pea u tāmateʻi ia ʻi Sikilaki, ka naʻa ne mahalo te u ʻatu ha totongi lelei koeʻuhi ko ʻene ongoongo:

11 Indeed? if men wicked they have killed a man righteous in own house his on own bed his and therefore ¿ not will I require blood his from hand your and I will remove you from the earth.

Kae huanoa eni, ʻi he tāmateʻi ʻe he kau tangata kovi ha tokotaha taʻehalaia ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona, pea ʻi hono mohenga! ʻIkai eni te u ʻeke ʻa hono toto mei homo nima, pea ʻave ʻakimoua mei he funga kelekele.”

12 And he commanded David the young men and they killed them and they cut off hands their and feet their and they hanged [them] at the pool in Hebron and [the] head of Ish-bosheth they took and they buried [it] in [the] tomb of Abner at Hebron.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Tevita ki heʻene kau talavou, pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻakinaua, pea naʻe tutuʻu hona nima, pea mo hona vaʻe pea naʻe tautau ai ʻi he funga anovai ʻi Hepeloni. Ka naʻa nau ʻave ʻae ʻulu ʻo Isiposeti, ʻo tanu ia ʻi he faʻitoka ʻo ʻApina ʻi Hepeloni.
