I Samuela 21
1 A HELE aku la o Davida ma Noba io Ahimeleka la ke kahuna: a makau iho la o Ahimeleka i ka halawai ana me Davida, i aku la ia ia, No ke aha la o oe wale no, aohe kanaka me oe.
Naʻe toki hoko ai ʻa Tevita ki Nopi ʻo ne ʻalu kia ʻAhimeleki ko e taulaʻeiki: pea manavahē ʻa ʻAhimeleki ʻi he fetaulaki mo Tevita, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke tokotaha ai, pea ʻikai ha tangata ʻiate koe?”
2 I mai la o Davida ia Ahimeleka i ke kahuna, Ua kauoha mai ke alii ia'u i kekahi mea, a ua i mai ia'u, Mai hoike iki i kekahi kanaka i ka mea a'u i hoouna aku ai ia oe, a me ka mea a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oe: a ua hoonoho aku au i na kauwa no kela wahi a me keia wahi.
Pea pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻAhimeleki ko e taulaʻeiki; “Kuo tuku mai ʻe he tuʻi ha ngāue kiate au,” ʻo ne pehē kiate au, “Ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻae ngāue ko ia ʻaia ʻoku ou fekauʻi ai koe, mo ia kuo u fekau kiate koe: pea kuo u fekauʻi ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ki he ngaahi potu ko ʻena.
3 Ano hoi, heaha ka mea malalo o kou lima? e haawi mai oe ma kuu lima i na pai berena elima, a i na mea paha i loaa.
Pea ko ʻena ko e hā ʻoku ʻi ho lalo nima? Tuku mai ki hoku nima ha foʻi mā ʻe nima, pe ha meʻa pe ʻoku ke maʻu.”
4 Olelo aku la ke kahuna ia Davida, i aku la, Aohe berena laa ole malalo o kuu lima, aka, he berena laa no nae; ina paha ua hookaokoa na kanaka ui mai na wahine aku.
Pea talaange ʻe he taulaʻeiki kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ha mā ngofua ʻi hoku nima, ka ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mā tapu; ʻo kapau pe kuo taʻofi ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau talavou mei he kau fefine.”
5 Olelo aku la o Davida i ke kahuna, i aku la ia ia, He oiaio, ua hookaawaleia na wahine mai o makou aku i neia mau la ekolu paha, i ko'u hele ana mai, a ua maemae na ipu o na kanaka ui nei, a ua like keia me ka berena laa ole, oiaio hoi ka mea i hoolaaia i keia la ilalo o na ipu.
Pea naʻe leaange ʻa Tevita ki he taulaʻeiki, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni kuo taʻofi ʻae kau fefine meiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho nai ʻe tolu, talu ʻeku haʻu kituaʻā, pea ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻae kau talavou, pea ʻoku hangē ʻoku ngofua ʻae mā, ʻio, he kuo fakatapui he ʻaho ni ʻae mā ʻi he ʻaiʻanga.”
6 A haawi aku la ke kahuna i ka berena laa ia ia; no ka mea, aohe berena e ae malaila, o ka berena hoike wale no, i laweia mai ke alo o Iehova mai, no ka waiho ana i ka berena mahana i ka la i laweia aku ai oia.
Ko ia naʻe ʻatu ai kiate ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae mā tapu: he naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha mā, ka ko e mā pe ʻoe ʻao, ʻaia naʻe toʻo mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke ʻai ki ai ʻae mā mafana ʻi he ʻaho ʻaia naʻe toʻo ʻo ʻave ai ia.
7 Aia no ilaila kekahi kanaka o na kauwa a Saula ia la, e kali ana imua o Iehova, o Doega kona inoa, no Edoma, he luna o na kahuhipa o Saula.
Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻi he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Saula, naʻe moʻua ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ko Toeki hono hingoa, ko e tangata ʻItomi, ko e tuʻukimuʻa ia ʻoe kau tauhimanu lalahi ʻa Saula.
8 Ninau aku la o Davida ia Ahimeleka, Aole anei he ihe maanei malalo o kou lima, a he pahikaua paha? no ka mea, aole au i lawe mai nei i kuu pahikaua, aole hoi i ka'u mea kaua, no ka wikiwiki o ka ke alii mea.
Pea pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻAhimeleki, “Pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ho nima ni ha tao pē ha heletā? He ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻomi ʻeku heletā pe ko ʻeku mahafutau, he ko e ngāue ʻae tuʻi naʻe fai fakatoʻotoʻo.”
9 I mai la ke kahuna, O ka pahikaua a Golia ke kanaka Pilisetia au i pepehi ai ma ke awawa o Ela, aia hoi ia i wahiia i ka lole aahu mahope o ka epoda; a i lawe oe ia mea, e lawe, no ka mea, aohe pahi e ae, oia wale no. I aku la o Davida, Aohe mea e like ana me ia, e haawi mai ia ia'u.
Pea pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki, “Ko e heletā ʻa Kolaiate ko e tangata Filisitia, ʻaia naʻa ke tāmateʻi ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Ila, Vakai ʻoku tuku tākai ʻae kofu ʻi he tuʻa ʻefoti kapau ko ho loto ke ʻave ia, ʻave ia he ʻoku ʻikai ha taha kehe ka ko ia pe ʻi heni.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻOku ʻikai hano tatau mo ia; tuku mai ia.”
10 Ku ae la o Davida, a holo ia la mai ke alo aku o Saula, a hele mai io Akisa la ke alii o Gata.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo hola ʻi heʻene manavahē kia Saula, pea ʻalu ia kia ʻAkisi ko e tuʻi ʻo Kati.
11 I mai la na kauwa a Akisa ia ia, Aole anei keia o Davida, ke alii o ka aina? aole anei lakou i mele ai kekahi i kekahi nona me ka haa ana, i ka i ana'e, He mau tausani ka Saula i pepehi ai, he umi tausani hoi ka Davida?
Pea pehē ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻAkisi kiate ia, “ʻIkai ko Tevita eni ko e tuʻi ʻoe fonua? ʻIkai naʻa nau hiva fetaliʻaki kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻe, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo tāmateʻi ʻe Saula ʻene ngaahi toko afe, mo Tevita ʻene ngaahi toko mano?’
12 A waiho iho la o Davida i keia mau olelo maloko o kona naau, a makau nui iho la ia Akisa ke alii o Gata.
Pea naʻe faʻo ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi lea ni ki hono loto, pea naʻe manavahē lahi ia kia ʻAkisi ko e tuʻi ʻo Kati.
13 A hoololi ae la ia i kona ano imua o lakou, a hoohalike ia ia iho me he hehena la iloko o ko lakou lima, a kahakaha aku la ia ma na pani o na ipuka, a helelei iho la kona kuha ma kona umiumi.
Pea naʻa ne fakakehe ʻene anga ʻi honau ʻao ʻo ne fai ʻo hangē kuo vale ia honau nima, pea ne ne vaku ki he matapā ʻoe hūʻanga fale, pea naʻa ne tuku ke tafe hono fāvai ki hono fakapau.
14 A olelo aku la o Akisa i kana poe kauwa, Aia hoi, e nana oukou, ua hehena neia kanaka: no ke aha la oukou i lawe mai ia ia io'u nei?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAkisi ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Vakai, ʻoku mou mamata ʻoku fakavalevale ʻae tangata; pea ko e hā ia kuo mou ʻomi ai ia kiate au?
15 He pono anei au i na mea hehena, i lawe mai ai oukou ia ia nei e hoohalike me he hehena la imua ou? e komo anei ia maloko o kuu hale?
He ʻoku ʻaonga kiate au ha kau tangata fakavalevale, kuo mou ʻomi ai ʻae siana ni ke fai fakavalevale ʻi hoku ʻao? ʻE hoko koā ʻae siana ni ki hoku fale?”
