< I Oihanaalii 13 >
1 KUKA ae la o Davida me na luna tausani a me na luna haneri, a me na luna a pau.
Pea naʻe faʻa fakakaukau ʻa Tevita fakataha mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau naʻe pule ki he ngaahi toko afe mo e ngaahi toko teau, pea mo e kau takimuʻa kotoa pē.
2 Olelo mai o Davida i ke anaina kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, Ina he maikai keia ia oukou, a ina na Iehova mai o ko kakou Akua ia mea, e hoouna aku kakou a i na hoahanau o kakou ma na wahi a pau, e waiho ana ma na aina a pau o ka Iseraela, a me lakou pu i na kahuna a me ka Levi iloko o ko lakou mau kulanakauhale a me na kula, e akoakoa mai ai lakou io kakou nei:
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita ki he fakataha kātoa ʻo ʻIsileli, “Kapau ʻoku lelei kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻoku finangalo ki ai ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, tuku ketau fekau atu ki hotau kāinga ʻi he potu kotoa pē, ʻakinautolu ʻoku toe ʻi he potu fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ki he kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai fakataha mo kinautolu, ʻi he ngaahi kolo mo honau ngaahi potu ofi, koeʻuhi ke nau fakataha mai kiate kitautolu;
3 A e lawe mai kakou i ka pahu o ko kakou Akua io kakou nei: no ka mea, aole kakou i ninau aku ma ia mea i na la o Saula.
Pea ke tau toe ʻomi kiate kitautolu ʻae puha [ʻoe fuakava ]ʻo hotau ʻOtua kiate kitautolu: he naʻe ʻikai te tau fakafehuʻi ki ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Saula.”
4 Olelo aku la ke anaina kanaka a pau, e hana lakou pela: no ka mea, he maikai ia mea imua o na kanaka a pau.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fakataha kotoa pē te nau fai ia: he naʻe matamata totonu ʻae meʻa ni ki he kakai kotoa pē.
5 Pela i houluulu ai o Davida i ka Iseraela a pau i kahi hookahi, mai Sihora o Aigupita a hiki aku i ke komo ana aku i Hemata, e lawe i ka pahu o ko Akua mai Kiriataiearima mai.
Ko ia naʻe fakataha ai ʻe Tevita, ʻae kakai kotoa pē, mei Sihoa ʻi ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu atu ki he hūʻanga ki Hamati, koeʻuhi ke ʻomi ʻae puha [ʻoe fuakava ]ʻoe ʻOtua mei Kesa-Sialimi.
6 Pii aku la o Davida, a me ka Iseraela a pau a Baala, oia o Kiriataiearima, no ka Iuda, mailaila mai e lawe i ka pahu o ke Akua o Iehova, e noho ana mawaena o na keruba, kahi i heaia'i kona inoa.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Tevita, pea mo ʻIsileli kātoa, ki Peala, (ʻaia ko Kesasialimi, ) ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Siuta, ke ʻohake mei ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻoe ʻOtua ko Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo selupi, pea ʻoku ui ʻaki ia ʻa hono huafa.
7 Hooholo ae la lakou i ka pahu o ke Akua maluna o ko kaa hou, mai ka hale mai o Abinadaba; a kai aku la o Uza laua o Ahio i ke kaa.
Pea naʻa nau fakaheka ʻae puha [ʻoe fuakava ]ʻoe ʻOtua ki he saliote foʻou mei he fale ʻo ʻApinatapi: pea naʻe angi ki he saliote ʻe Usa mo ʻAhio.
8 Hookani aku la o Davida a me ka Iseraela a pau imua o ke Akua me ka ikaika a pau, i na mele, me na lira, na pesaleteria, na timeberela, na kimebala, a me na pukani.
Pea naʻe tā meʻa faiva ʻe Tevita pea mo ʻIsileli kātoa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaki ʻenau mālohi kotoa, pea ʻi he hiva, mo e tā ʻae haʻape, mo e ngaahi ūtete, mo e ngaahi kihiʻi lali, mo e ukamea tatangi, pea mo e ngaahi meʻalea.
9 A hiki aku lakou i kahi hehi-palaoa no Kidona, hoo aku la o Uza i kona lima a hoopaa i ka pahu: no ka mea, okupe iho la na bipikauo.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ange ki he fale hahaʻanga uite ʻo Kitoni, naʻe ala atu ʻe Usa ʻa hono nima ke puke ki he puha; he naʻe ngaueue ia ʻi he ʻalu ʻae fanga pulu.
10 Ua hoaia ka inaina o Iehova ia Uza, a hahau mai la oia ia ia, no ka mea, ua lalau kona lima i ka pahu; a make iho la ia ilaila imua o ko Akua.
Pea naʻe fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova kia Usa, pea naʻa ne taaʻi ia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ala ʻa hono nima ki he puha: pea naʻa ne mate ai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
11 Ukiuki iho la o Davida i ko Iehova hahau ana ia Uza; nolaila ua kapaia ka inoa o ia wahi o Perezuza a hiki i keia la.
Pea naʻe mamahi ʻa Tevita, koeʻuhi ko e teʻia ʻa Usa ʻe Sihova: pea ko ia kuo ui ai ʻae potu ko ia ko Pelesiusa, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
12 Makau iho la o Davida i ke Akua ia la, i iho la, Pehea la ka'u e lawe mai ai i ka pahu o ke Akua io'u nei?
Pea naʻe manavahē ʻa Tevita ki he ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE fēfē ʻa ʻeku ʻomi kiate au ʻae puha [ʻoe fuakava ]ʻoe ʻOtua?”
13 Nolaila, aole i lawe mai o Davida i ka pahu berita io na la i ke kulanakauhale o Davida: aka, lawe ae la oia ia mea maloko o ka hale o Obededoma ka Gata.
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai ʻomi ai ʻe Tevita ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava kiate ia ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ka naʻa ne afe atu mo ia ki he fale ʻo ʻOpeti-itomi ko e tangata Kati.
14 A waiho iho la ka pahu o ke Akua me ka ohana a Obededoma iloko o kona hale i na malama ekolu. A hoopomaikai o Iehova i ko ka hale o Obededoma, a me kona mau mea a pau.
Pea naʻe nofo aipē ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he ʻapi ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ʻi hono fale ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu. Pea naʻe fakamonūʻia ʻe Sihova ʻae fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne maʻu.
