2 Samuel 21
1 And there is a famine in the days of David three years, year after year, and David seeketh the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah saith, 'For Saul and for the bloody house, because that 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 calleth for the Gibeonites, and saith unto them — as to the Gibeonites, they [are] not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul seeketh to smite them in his zeal for the sons 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 yea, David saith unto the Gibeonites, 'What do I do for you? and with what do I make atonement? and bless ye the inheritance of Jehovah.'
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 say to him, 'We have no silver and gold by Saul and by his house, and we have no man to put to death in Israel;' and he saith, 'What ye are saying I do to 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 say unto the king, 'The man who consumed us, and who devised against us — we have been destroyed from stationing ourselves in all the border 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 there be given to us seven men of his sons, and we have hanged them before Jehovah, in the height of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah.' And the king saith, 'I do give;'
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 and the king hath pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath of Jehovah that [is] between them, between David and Jonathan 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 and the king taketh the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bare to Adriel 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 giveth them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before Jehovah; and the seven fall together, and they have been put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], the commencement 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 daughter of Aiah taketh the sackcloth, and stretcheth it out for herself on the rock, from the commencement of harvest till water hath been poured out upon them from the heavens, and hath not suffered a fowl of the heavens to rest upon them by day, or the beast 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 is declared to David that which Rizpah daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul, hath done,
Pea naʻe tala kia Tevita ʻae meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Lisipa koe taʻahine ʻo ʻAia koe sinifu ʻo Saula.
12 and David goeth and taketh the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the possessors of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-Shan, where the Philistines hanged them, in the day of the Philistines smiting 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 bringeth up thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gather the bones of those 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 bury the bones of Saul and of Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying-place of Kish his father, and do all that the king commanded, and God is entreated for the land afterwards.
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 again have the Philistines war with Israel, and David goeth down, and his servants with him, and they fight with the Philistines; and David is weary,
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 Ishbi-Benob, who [is] among the children of the giant — the weight of his spear [is] three hundred [shekels] weight of brass, and he is girded with a new one — speaketh of smiting 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 and Abishai son of Zeruiah giveth help to him, and smiteth the Philistine, and putteth him to death; then swear the men of David to him, saying, 'Thou dost not go out again with us to battle, nor quench 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 cometh to pass afterwards, that the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten Saph, who [is] among the children 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 the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim, the Beth-Lehemite, smiteth [a brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [is] like a beam of weavers.
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 the battle is again in Gath, and there is a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands [are] six, and the toes of his feet [are] six, twenty and four in number, and he also hath been 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 he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimeah, brother of David;
Pea ʻi heʻene manuki ki ʻIsileli naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Simia ko e tokoua ʻo Tevita.
22 these four have been born to the giant in Gath, and they fall 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.
