2 Samuel 5

1 And all the tribes of Israel come unto David, to Hebron, and speak, saying, 'Lo, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh;

Pea naʻe toki haʻu ai ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli kia Tevita ʻi Hepeloni, ʻonau lea, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku mau ʻo ho hui, pea mo ho kakano.”

2 also heretofore, in Saul's being king over us, thou hast been he who is bringing out and bringing in Israel, and Jehovah saith to thee, Thou dost feed My people Israel, and thou art for leader over Israel.'

Pea ʻi he kuonga kuo hili foki, ʻaia naʻe tuʻi ai ʻa Saula kiate kimautolu, ko koe ia naʻa ke tataki atu mo toe ʻomi ʻa ʻIsileli; pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate koe, Te ke fafanga ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, pea te ke pule koe ki ʻIsileli.

3 And all the elders of Israel come unto the king, to Hebron, and king David maketh with them a covenant in Hebron before Jehovah, and they anoint David for king over Israel.

Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ki he tuʻi ʻi Hepeloni; pea naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ʻae fuakava mo kinautolu ʻi Hepeloni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; pea naʻa nau pani ʻa Tevita ʻaki ʻae lolo ke ne tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli.

4 A son of thirty years [is] David in his being king; forty years he hath reigned;

Naʻe tolungofulu taʻu ʻa Tevita ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu.

5 in Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years, over all Israel and Judah.

Naʻa ne pule ʻi Hepeloni ki Siuta ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu mo e māhina ʻe ono: pea naʻa ne pule ki ʻIsileli kotoa pea mo Siuta, ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma tolu.

6 And the king goeth, and his men, to Jerusalem, unto the Jebusite, the inhabitant of the land, and they speak to David, saying, 'Thou dost not come in hither, except thou turn aside the blind and the lame;' saying, 'David doth not come in hither.'

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tuʻi mo ʻene kau tangata ki Selūsalema ki he kakai Sepusi, ko e kakai ʻoe fonua: ʻakinautolu naʻe lea ʻo pehē kia Tevita, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻave ʻae kui mo e ketu, ʻe ʻikai siʻi te ke hū mai ki heni: he naʻa nau pehē, ʻE ʻikai faʻa haʻu ʻa Tevita ki heni.”

7 And David captureth the fortress of Zion, it [is] the city of David.

Ka neongo ia, naʻe lavaʻi ʻe Tevita ʻae kolo mālohi ko Saione; pea ko ia “ko e Kolo ʻo Tevita.”

8 And David saith on that day, 'Any one smiting the Jebusite, (let him go up by the watercourse), and the lame and the blind — the hated of David's soul,' — because the blind and lame say, 'He doth not come into the house.'

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, “ʻIlonga ia ʻe hoko hake ki he puke ʻoe kolo, ʻo ne tali ʻae kau Sepusi, pea mo e ketu mo e kui ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki ai ʻae laumālie ʻo Tevita, [ʻe hoko ia ko e tuʻukimuʻa mo e ʻeiki pule],” ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau pehē, “ʻE ʻikai hoko ki fale ʻae kui mo e ketu.”

9 And David dwelleth in the fortress, and calleth it — City of David, and David buildeth round about, from Millo and inward,

Pea naʻe pehē ʻae nofo ʻa Tevita ʻi he kolotau, pea naʻa ne ui ia ko e Kolo ʻo Tevita. Pea naʻe langa takatakai [ʻae kolo ]ʻe Tevita mei Milo ʻo fai mai ki loto.

10 and David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah, God of Hosts, [is] with him.

Pea naʻe ʻaluʻalu ai pe ʻa Tevita, ʻo ne fakaʻaʻau ʻo lahi, pea naʻe kau mo ia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

11 And Hiram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and cedar-trees, and artificers of wood, and artificers of stone, for walls, and they build a house for David,

Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Helami ko e tuʻi ʻo Taia ʻae kau talafekau kia Tevita, mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e sita, mo e kau tufunga ʻakau, mo e kau tufunga maka pea naʻa nau langa ha fale kia Tevita.

12 and David knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for king over Israel, and that He hath lifted up his kingdom, because of His people Israel.

Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe Tevita kuo fakapapau ia ʻe Sihova ko e tuʻi ki ʻIsileli, pea kuo ne fakamāʻolunga ʻa hono puleʻanga koeʻuhi ko hono kakai ko ʻIsileli.

13 And David taketh again concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after his coming from Hebron, and there are born again to David sons and daughters.

Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻo fakatokolahi kiate ia ʻe Tevita ʻae sinifu mo e ngaahi uaifi mei Selūsalema, ʻi he hili ʻa ʻene haʻu mei Hepeloni: pea naʻe toe fānau kia Tevita ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine.

14 And these [are] the names of those born to him in Jerusalem: Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻokinautolu naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻi Selūsalema; ko Samua, mo Sopapi mo Natani, pea mo Solomone.

15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

Ko Ipia foki, mo ʻIlisua, mo Nefeki, mo Safia,

16 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

Mo ʻIlisama, mo Iliata, pea mo Ilifileti.

17 And the Philistines hear that they have anointed David for king over Israel, and all the Philistines come up to seek David, and David heareth, and goeth down unto the fortress,

Kae ʻi he fanongo ʻe he kakai Filisitia kuo fakanofo ʻa Tevita ke tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli, naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Filisitia kotoa pē ke kumi kia Tevita; pea naʻe ongoʻi ia ʻe Tevita, ʻo ne ʻalu hifo ki he kolo mālohi.

18 and the Philistines have come, and are spread out in the valley of Rephaim.

Naʻe haʻu foki ʻae kakai Filisitia ʻonau fakamafola ʻakinautolu ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Lefeimi.

19 And David asketh of Jehovah, saying, 'Do I go up unto the Philistines? dost Thou give them into my hand?' And Jehovah saith unto David, 'Go up, for I certainly give the Philistines into thy hand.'

Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, pehē, “Te u ʻalu hake ki he kakai Filisitia? Te ke tuku mai ʻakinautolu ki hoku nima?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Tevita, “ʻAlu hake: he ko e moʻoni te u tuku ʻae kakai Filisitia ki ho nima.”

20 And David cometh in to Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them there, and saith, 'Jehovah hath broken forth [on] mine enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters;' therefore he hath called the name of that place Baal-Perazim.

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Tevita ki Peali-Pilasimi pea naʻe taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi ai ʻe Tevita, mo ne pehē, “Kuo meʻa atu ʻa Sihova ki hoku ngaahi fili ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e hā atu ha ngaahi vai.” Ko ia naʻe ui ai ʻae hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia ko Peali-Pilasimi.

21 And they forsake there their idols, and David and his men lift them up.

Pea naʻa nau tuku honau ngaahi tamapua ʻi ai, pea naʻe tutu ia ʻe Tevita pea mo hono kau tangata.

22 And the Philistines add again to come up, and are spread out in the valley of Rephaim,

Pea naʻe toe haʻu foki ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻonau fakamafola kinautolu ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Lefeimi.

23 and David asketh of Jehovah, and He saith, 'Thou dost not go up, turn round unto their rear, and thou hast come to them over-against the mulberries,

Pea ʻi heʻene fehuʻi ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, naʻa ne fakahā mai, “ʻE ʻikai te ke ʻalu hake; kae ʻalu fakatakamilo ki mui ʻiate kinautolu, pea ke hoko mai kiate kinautolu ʻo feʻunga mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e molipeli.

24 and it cometh to pass, in thy hearing the sound of a stepping in the tops of the mulberries, then thou dost move sharply, for then hath Jehovah gone out before thee to smite in the camp of the Philistines.'

Pea tuku ke pehē, ʻoka ke ka fanongo ki he mumuhu ʻi he ʻuluʻi ʻakau molipeli, te ke toki ngaue koe: koeʻuhi ʻe toki muʻomuʻa atu ʻa Sihova ʻiate koe, ke teʻia ʻae kautau ʻoe kakai Filisitia.”

25 And David doth so, as Jehovah commanded him, and smiteth the Philistines from Geba unto thy coming to Gazer.

Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe Tevita ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate ia; pea naʻe taaʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia mei Kepa ʻo aʻu atu ʻaupito ki Kesa.
