I Oihanaalii 20
1 A I ka makahiki hou, i ka manawa e hele aku ai na alii, alakai aku la o Ioaba i ka poe ikaika o na koa, a luku iho la i ka aina o na mamo a Amona, a hele aku la, a hoopilikia aku la ia Raba: aka, noho iho la o Davida i Ierusalema A pepehi aku la o Ioaba ia Raba, a luku iho la ia wahi.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hili ange ʻae taʻu ʻe taha, ʻi he faʻahitaʻu ʻaia ʻoku faʻa ʻalu atu ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻi [ke fai ʻae tau], naʻe tataki atu ʻe Soape ʻae mālohi ʻoe kautau, pea naʻa ne fakalala ʻae fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea naʻa ne hoko atu ʻo kāpui ʻa Lapa ʻaki ʻae tau. Ka naʻe nofo pe ʻa Tevita ʻi Selūsalema. Pea naʻe kapa ʻa Lapa ʻe Soape, mo ne fakaʻauha ia.
2 Lawe ae la o Davida i ka papalealii o ko lakou alii mailuna o kona poo, he talena gula ia i ke kaupaona ana, a me na pohaku makamae maloko; a ua kauia oia maluna o ke poo o Davida: a lawe mai la ia i ka waiwai pio he nui loa mailoko mai o ua kulanakauhale la.
Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Tevita ʻae tatā fakatuʻi mei he ʻulu ʻo honau tuʻi, pea ko hono mamafa ko e taleniti koula ʻe taha, pea naʻe fonofono ki ai ʻae ngaahi maka mahuʻinga; pea naʻe ʻai ia ki he fofonga ʻo Tevita: pea naʻa ne fetuku foki mei he kolo ʻae koloa lahi ʻaupito.
3 Lawe mai la hoi oia iwaho i na kanaka oloko: a okioki iho la ia lakou i na pahiolo, a i na mea hao oioi, a i na koilipi. Pela i hana aku ai o Davida i na kulanakauhale a pau o na mamo a Amona. A hoi hou mai la o Davida me na kanaka a pau i Ierusalema.
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi kituaʻā ʻae kakai naʻe nofo ʻi ai, mo ne kilisi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae kili, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa keli ukamea, pea mo e ngaahi toki. Naʻe fai pehē ʻe Tevita ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, Pea naʻe foki mai ʻa Tevita pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ki Selūsalema.
4 A mahope mai o ia mea, ku ae la ke kaua ma Gezera me na Pilisetia; ia manawa, pepehi iho la o Sibekai no Husata ia Sipai no na keiki a ke kanaka nunui: a ua hoopioia lakou.
Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻi Kesa mo e kakai Filisitia; pea ko e kuonga ia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻa Sipei ʻe Sipikei ko e tangata Husa, ko e taha ʻi he fānau ʻoe tangata sino lahi ʻaupito: pea naʻe ikuna ʻakinautolu.
5 A he kaua hou no hoi me na Pilisetia; a pepehi iho la o Elehanana ke keiki a Iaira ia Lahemi ke kaikaina o Golia no Gata, o ke au o kaua ihe, ua like ia me ka laau o ka mea ulana lole.
Pea naʻe toe fai ʻae tau mo e kakai Filisitia: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Elihanani ko e foha ʻo Saele ʻo Laami ko e tehina ʻo Kolaia ko e tangata Kati, ʻaia naʻe tatau hono foʻi tao mo e ʻakau lalanga ʻoe tangata lalanga tupenu.
6 A he kaua hou ma Gata, ilaila he kanaka nunui, he iwakaluakumamaha na manamanalima a me na manamanawawae ona, he paono a he paono, a he keiki no hoi ia na ke kanaka nunui.
Pea naʻe toe fai foki ʻae tau ʻi Kati, pea naʻe ʻi ai ha tangata fuʻu lahi ʻaupito, ʻaia naʻe uofulu ma fā ʻa hono kupuʻi nima mo hono kupuʻi vaʻe, ko e taki ono ʻi he nima, mo e taki ono ʻi he vaʻe: pea ko e foha foki ia ʻoe tangata sino lahi ʻaupito.
7 Aka i ka wa i hoino mai ai oia i ka Iseraela, pepehi iho la o lonatana ke keiki a Simea a ke kaikuaana o Davida, ia ia.
Ka ʻi heʻene polepole tau ki ʻIsileli naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Simia ko e tokoua ʻo Tevita.
8 Ua hanau keia poe na ke kanaka nunui ma Gata; a haule lakou ma ka lima o Davida, a me ka lima o kana mau kauwa
Naʻe fanauʻi ʻakinautolu ni ki he fuʻu tangata lahi ʻaupito ʻi Kati; pea naʻa nau tō ʻo mate ʻi he nima ʻo Tevita pea ʻi he nima ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
