I Samuela 6
1 I NA malama ehiku i noho ai ka pahu o Iehova ma ka aina o ko Pilisetia.
Pea naʻe ʻi he fonua ʻoe kau Filisitia ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova ʻi he māhina ʻe fitu.
2 Kahea aku la ko Pilisetia i na kahuna, a me ka poe kilokilo, i aku la, Heaha ka makou e hana aku ai i ka pahu o Iehova? E hoike mai ia makou, me ke aha la makou e lawe aku ai ia mea ma kona wahi?
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he kau Filisitia ke haʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau kikite, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā te mau fai ki he puha tapu ʻo Sihova? Fakahā kiate kimautolu pe te mau ʻatu ia ʻaki ʻae ha ki hono potu?”
3 I mai la lakou, Ina e lawe aku oukou i ka pahu o ke Akua o ka Iseraela, mai lawe nele aku; aka, e hoihoi aku me ka mohaihala nona: alaila e hoolaia oukou, a e hoikeia hoi ia oukou ka mea i lawe ole ia aku ai kona lima mai o oukou aku.
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Kapau ʻoku mou fekau ke ʻave ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoua naʻa ʻave mola pe ia; ka mou ʻatu muʻa kiate ia ʻae feilaulau ʻi he angahala: ko ia ʻe fakamoʻui ai ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻe toki ʻilo ai ʻekimoutolu pe ko e hā kuo ʻikai hiki ai hono nima ʻiate kimoutolu.”
4 Ninau aku la lakou, Heaha ka mohaihala a makou e hoihoi aku ai nona? I mai la lakou, Elima puupuu koko gula, elima iole gula, ma ka helu ana o na haku o ko Pilisetia: no ka mea, hookahi no mai maluna o lakou a pau, a maluna hoi o ko oukou mau haku.
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae feilaulau ʻi he angahala ʻaia te mau ʻatu kiate ia?” Pea naʻa nau tala, “Ko e meaʻi koula ʻe nima, mo e kumā koula ʻe nima, ʻo fakatatau ki he houʻeiki Filisitia ʻe toko nima; he ko e hangatāmaki pē taha naʻe ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, pea ʻi homou houʻeiki.
5 No ia mea, e hana oukou i na kii no ko oukou puupuu koko, a me na kii no ko oukou iole, nana i hana ino ka aina; a e hoonani aku oukou i ke Akua o ka Iseraela: malia paha e hoomama mai ia i kona lima mai luna ae o oukou, a me ko oukou mau akua, a me ko oukou aina.
Ko ia ke mou ngaohi ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ki homou mataʻi hangatāmaki, pea mo e ngaahi fakatātā ki he kumā ʻaia ʻoku maumauʻi ʻae fonua; pea ke mou tuku ʻae ongoongolelei ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli: heiʻilo pe te ne fakamaʻamaʻa hono nima ʻiate kimoutolu, pea mei homou ngaahi ʻotua, pea mei homou fonua.
6 No ke aha la oukou, e hoopaakiki nei i ko oukou naau, e like me ko Aigupita, a me Parao i hoopaakiki ai i ko lakou naau? Ia ia i hana mana ai iwaena o lakou, aole anei ia i kuu aku ia lakou, a hele lakou?
Ko e hā ʻoku mou fakafefeka ai homou loto, ʻo hangē ko e fakafefeka ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite mo Felo honau loto? ʻI he hili ʻene fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ʻiate kinautolu, ʻikai naʻa nau tukuange ʻae kakai ke ʻalu, pea nau ʻalu ai?
7 No ia mea, e hana oukou i kaa hou, a lawe i na bipiwahine waiu elua, aole i kau ka auamo maluna o laua, a e nakii i na bipi ma ke kaa, a e lawe i ka laua mau keiki mai o laua aku la:
Pea ko ia, mou ngaohi ʻae saliote foʻou, pea toʻo ʻae ongo pulu fefine ʻoku huhuʻa, ʻaia kuo teʻeki hoko ki ai ha haʻamonga, pea nonoʻo ʻae ongo manu ki he saliote, pea ʻomi hona ʻuhiki ki ʻapi meiate kinaua:
8 A e lawe aku oukou i ka pahu o Iehova, a kau maluna o ke kaa, a e hahao i na mea gula a oukou e hoihoi aku i mohaihala nona maloko o kahi pahu ma ka aoao; a e hoouna aku oukou ia mea, i hele aku ia.
Pea hiki ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakaheka ia ki he saliote; pea ʻai ʻae ngaahi teunga koula ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻatu ko e feilaulau ʻi he angahala, ʻai ia ki he puha ʻe taha ʻi hono kaokao; pea fekau ke ʻave ia, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu ia.
9 A e nana oukou, ina paha e pii aku ia ma ke ala o kona mokuna, i Betesemesa, alaila, ua hana mai ia i keia ino nui no kakou: aka, i ole. alaila e ike kakou, aole kona lima i hahau mai ia kakou; ua hiki wale mai ia mea ia kakou.
Pea vakai, kapau ʻoku ʻalu ia ʻi he hala ki hono fonua ki Pete-Semesi, ko e moʻoni kuo ne fai ʻae mamahi lahi ni kiate kitautolu: pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai, pea tau toki ʻilo tā ʻoku ʻikai ko hono nima kuo taaʻi ʻakitautolu, ka ko e kovi kuo hoko tuʻungaʻa pē kiate kitautolu.”
10 A hana aku la na kanaka pela; a lawe aku la i na bipiwahine waiu elua, a nakii ia laua ma ke kaa, a hoopaa lakou i ka laua mau keiki maloko o ka hale.
Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe he kau tangata naʻe ʻomi ʻae ongo sinamanu, ʻo nonoʻo ʻakinaua ki he saliote, kae tāpuni hona ʻuhiki ʻi ʻapi:
11 Kau aku la lakou i ka pahu o Iehova maluna o ke kaa, a i kekahi pahu me na iole gula, a me na kii o ko lakou puupuu koko.
Pea naʻa nau hilifaki ʻae puha tapu ki he saliote, pea mo e ʻaiʻanga ʻoe kumā koula mo e ngaahi fakatātā ki honau hangatāmaki.
12 A hele pololei aku la na bipi ma ke ala e hiki ai i Betesemesa, ma ke ala loa ka hele ana, a hele laua me ka uwo ana, aole laua i huli ae ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema; a hele na haku o ko Pilisetia mahope o laua, a hiki i ka mokuna o Betesemesa.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae ongo sināmanu ʻi he hala totonu, ʻi he hala ki Pete-Semesi, ʻo ʻalu ai pe ʻi he hala motuʻa, ʻo tangi pe mo ʻalu, pea naʻe ʻikai te na tafoki ki he nima toʻomataʻu pe ki he toʻohema; pea naʻe muimui ki ai ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻo aʻu ki he veʻe fonua ʻo Pete-Semesi.
13 A e oki ana ko Betesemesa i ka lakou palaoa ma ke awawa: alawa ae la ko lakou maka iluna, a ike aku la i ka pahu, a olioli lakou i ka ike ana aku.
Pea naʻe lolotonga ʻae tuʻusi ʻae toʻukai uite ʻe he kakai ʻo Pete-Semesi ʻi he teleʻa: pea naʻa nau hiki hake honau mata, ʻo mamata ki he puha tapu, pea naʻa nau fiefia ʻi he sio ki ai.
14 A hele aku la ke kaa maloko o ka mahinaai o Iosua no Betesemesa, a ku malaila; a malaila ka pohaku nui; a wawahi lakou i ka laau o ke kaa, a kaumaha aku la lakou i na bipi i mohaikuni ia Iehova.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae saliote ki he ngoue ʻa Siosiua ko e tangata Pete-Semesi pea tuʻu ʻi ai, ʻi he potu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fuʻu maka lahi: pea naʻa nau tafahi ʻae ʻakau ʻoe saliote, ʻo feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ongo sināmanu, ko e feilaulau tutu kia Sihova.
15 Lawe mai la na Levi i ka pahu o Iehova, a me kekahi pahu i waiho pu ai me ia me na mea gula maloko, a kau aku la ia mea maluna o ka pohaku nui; a kaumaha aku na kanaka o Betesemesa i na mohaikuni, a ia la, kaumaha aku la no hoi lakou i na mohai ia Iehova.
Pea naʻe fakahifo ʻe he kau Livai ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova, pea mo e puha ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi teunga koula, ʻo ʻai ia ki he funga ʻoe maka lahi: naʻe ʻatu ʻe he kau tangata ʻo Pete-Semesi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, ʻo feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
16 A ike aku la na haku elima o ko Pilisetia ia mea, hoi aku la lakou ma Ekerona ia la.
Pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae houʻeiki ʻe toko nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia, naʻa nau liu mai ki Ekiloni ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
17 Eia na puupuu koko gula a ko Pilisetia i hoihoi aku ai i mohaihala ia Iehova: no Asedoda kekahi, no Gaza kekahi, no Asekelona kekahi, no Gata kekahi, no Ekerona kekahi;
Pea ko e ngaahi meaʻi koula ʻe nima ko eni ʻaia naʻe ʻatu ʻe he kau Filisitia ko e feilaulau ʻi he angahala kia Sihova; ko e taha ki ʻAsitoti, ko e taha ki Kesa, ko e taha ki ʻAsikeloni, ko e taha ki Kati, pea taha ki Ekiloni;
18 A me na iole gula e like me ka helu ana o na kulanakauhale no na haku elima o ko Pilisetia, na kulanakauhale pa pohaku, a me na kauhale papu a hiki i ua pohaku nui o Abela, kahi a lakou i kau ai i ka pahu o Iehova; a ilaila ua pohaku la ma ka mahinaai o Iosua no Betesemesa, a hiki i keia la.
Pea naʻe nima ʻae kumā koula ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻae houʻeiki ʻe toko nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia, ʻae ngaahi kolo tau mo e ngaahi potu kakai ʻi ʻuta, ʻo aʻu atu ki he maka lahi ko ʻEpeli, ʻaia naʻa nau hifo ki ai ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova: ʻae maka ko ia ʻoku kei tuʻu, ʻi he ngoue ʻa Siosiua ko e Pete-Semesi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
19 A luku mai ia i na kanaka o Betesemesa, no ka mea, ua nana lakou iloko o ka pahu o Iehova, luku mai ia i na kanaka, he kanalima no tausani, a he kanahiku kanaka ia. Auwe na kanaka, no ka Iehova pepehi ana mai i na kanaka me ka luku nui.
Pea naʻa ne teʻia ʻae kau tangata ʻo Pete-Semesi, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fakasiosio ki he loto puha tapu ʻo Sihova, ʻio, naʻa ne taaʻi ʻae tangata ʻe toko nima mano ma toko fitungofulu: pea naʻe tangilāulau ʻae kakai, he kuo taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻi he tā lahi ʻaupito.
20 I ae la na kanaka o Betesemesa, Owai la ka mea hiki ke ku imua o Iehova keia Akua Hemolele? A ia wai la oia e hele aku mai o kakou aku?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻo Pete-Semesi, “Ko hai ʻoku mafai ke tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ko e ʻOtua māʻoniʻoni ni? Pea ʻe ʻalu hake ia kia hai meiate kitautolu?”
21 Hoouna aku la lakou i na elele i na kanaka o Kiriatiarima, i aku la, Ua hoihoi mai ko Pilisetia i ka pahu o Iehova; e iho mai oukou e lawe aku ia io oukou la.
Pea naʻa nau fekau ʻae kau talafekau ki he kakai ʻo Kesa-Sialimi, ke pehē, “Kuo toe ʻomi ʻe he kakai Filisitia ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova; mou omi ʻo haʻamo hake ia kiate kimoutolu.”
