< Samuel 2 5 >

1 Emegbe la, amewo tso Israel ƒe toawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe me va David gbɔ le Hebron hegblɔ nɛ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, míenye wò ŋutilã kple ʋu.
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 Tsã esi Saul nye fia le mia nu hã la, wòe nye ame si kplɔ Israel le eƒe aʋawɔwɔ katã me eye Yehowa gblɔ na wò be wòe akplɔ nye eƒe dukɔ, Israel eye wòe ava nye woƒe fia.”
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 Esi Israel ƒe dumegãwo va kpe ta le Fia David gbɔ le Hebron la, ebla nu kpli wo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume eye wosi ami na David heɖoe fiae ɖe Israel dzi.
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 David xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ esi wòzu fia. Eɖu fia ƒe blaene.
Naʻe tolungofulu taʻu ʻa Tevita ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu.
5 Le Hebron la, eɖu fia ɖe Yuda dzi ƒe adre kple ɣleti ade eye le Yerusalem la, eɖu fia ɖe Israel kple Yuda dzi ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-etɔ̃.
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 Azɔ la, David kplɔ eƒe aʋawɔlawo yi Yerusalem be woawɔ aʋa kple Yebusitɔwo, ame siwo nɔ Yerusalem. Ke Yebusitɔwo gblɔ na David be, “Màte ŋu axɔ afi sia o, ŋkuagbãtɔwo kple xɔdrɔ̃wo gɔ̃ hã axe mɔ na wò!” Wogblɔ alea elabena wobu be yewonɔ dedie.
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 Ke David kple eƒe amewo ɖu wo dzi eye woxɔ Zion mɔ sesẽ la si woyɔna azɔ be, “David Ƒe Du.”
Ka neongo ia, naʻe lavaʻi ʻe Tevita ʻae kolo mālohi ko Saione; pea ko ia “ko e Kolo ʻo Tevita.”
8 David gblɔ gbe ma gbe be, “Ele be ame sia ame si aɖu Yebusitɔwo dzi la, nato tɔtsoƒe aɖo ‘xɔdrɔ̃ kple ŋkugbãtɔ mawo’ ame siwo nye David ƒe futɔwo la gbɔ.” Eya ta wogblɔna be, “‘Ŋkuagbãtɔwo kple xɔdrɔ̃wo’ mage ɖe fiasã la me o.”
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 Ale David va nɔ mɔ la me hena ŋkɔe be, “David Ƒe Du.” Ekeke dua ɖe edzi tso Milo xoxoa ɖo ta du si li fifia la titina.
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 Ale David ƒe ŋkɔ kple ŋusẽ de dzi elabena Yehowa, Mawu ŋusẽkatãtɔ la nɔ kplii.
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 Azɔ la, Hiram, Tiro fia dɔ dɔlawo ɖo ɖe David. Etsɔ sedatiwo, gliɖolawo kple atikpalawo kpe ɖe wo ŋuti eye wotu fiasã na 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 Azɔ la, David nya nu si ta Yehowa ɖoe fiae eye wòna eƒe fiaɖuƒe la keke ta, eyae nye be Yehowa di be yeakɔ eƒe amenuveve ɖe Israel, eƒe dukɔ tiatia la dzi.
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 Esi David ʋu yi Hebron la, egaɖe srɔ̃ bubuwo, egaɖo ahiãvi yeyewo eye wòdzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu geɖewo.
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 Vi siwo wodzi na Fia David le Yerusalem la ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye: Samua, Sobab, Natan, Solomo
Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻokinautolu naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻi Selūsalema; ko Samua, mo Sopapi mo Natani, pea mo Solomone.
15 Ibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Yafia,
Ko Ipia foki, mo ʻIlisua, mo Nefeki, mo Safia,
16 Elisama, Eliada kple Elifelet.
Mo ʻIlisama, mo Iliata, pea mo Ilifileti.
17 Esi Filistitɔwo se be David zu Israel fia yeyea la, woƒo ƒu aʋakɔ aɖe nu be yewoayi aɖalée. Ke David se be Filistitɔwo gbɔna eya ta wòsi yi mɔ sesẽ la me.
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 Filistitɔwo va do eye wokaka ɖe Refaim balime.
Naʻe haʻu foki ʻae kakai Filisitia ʻonau fakamafola ʻakinautolu ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Lefeimi.
19 David bia Yehowa be, “Mayi aɖawɔ aʋa kpli woa? Ɖe nàtsɔ wo ade asi nama?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, yi, matsɔ wo ade asi na wò.”
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 Ale David yi ɖawɔ aʋa kpli wo le Baal Perazim eye wòɖu wo dzi. Egblɔ be, “Yehowae ɖu wo dzi; eƒu du to nye futɔwo dome abe ale si tɔsisi gba goe ene.” Ale wona ŋkɔ teƒe la be Baal Perazim si gɔmee nye “Aƒetɔ si gba go.”
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 Filistitɔwo gblẽ woƒe legbawo ɖe anyi eye David kple eƒe amewo fɔ wo.
Pea naʻa nau tuku honau ngaahi tamapua ʻi ai, pea naʻe tutu ia ʻe Tevita pea mo hono kau tangata.
22 Ke Filistitɔwo trɔ va eye wogakaka ɖe Refaim balime.
Pea naʻe toe haʻu foki ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻonau fakamafola kinautolu ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Lefeimi.
23 Esi David bia Yehowa be nu ka yeawɔ hã la, eɖo eŋu be, “Mègakpe aʋa kpli wo ŋkume kple ŋkume o, ke boŋ to wo megbe eye nàdo ɖe balsamtiawo gbɔ.
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 Ne èse gbeɖiɖi aɖe le atiawo tame abe asrafowoe le azɔli zɔm ene la, ekema nàdze wo dzi. Esiae anye dzesi na wò be Yehowa dze ŋgɔ na wò be nàtsrɔ̃ Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔwo.”
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 Ale David wɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo nɛ eye wòsi Filistitɔwo tso keke Gibeon va se ɖe Gezer.
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.
