1 Hamuera 21
1 Katahi ka tae a Rawiri ki Nopo ki te tohunga ki a Ahimereke. A wiri ana a Ahimereke i te tutakitanga ki a Rawiri, a ka mea ki a ia, He aha koe i haere mai ai, tou kotahi, kahore na hoki ou hoa?
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 Na ka mea a Rawiri ki te tohunga, ki a Ahimereke, He mea i whakahaua ai ahau e te kingi; i mea mai hoki ia ki ahau, Kei mohiotia e tetahi he kupu o te take ka tonoa atu nei koe e ahau, i whakahaua atu nei koe e ahau. Na, ko nga tangata, kei te wa hi i kiia e ahau mo ratou.
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 Na, he aha kei raro i tou ringa? homai etahi taro ki toku ringa, kia rima: etahi atu mea ranei kei konei.
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 Na ka utu te tohunga ki a Rawiri, ka mea, Kahore he taro noa i toku ringa: engari tenei te taro tapu; ki te mea raia kahore i tata nga tangata ki te wahine.
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 Na ka whakahoki a Rawiri ki te tohunga, ka mea ki a ia, He pono kihai tetahi wahine i tukua kia tata ki a matou i enei ra e toru; noku i haere mai nei e tapu ana ano nga mea o nga tamariki, ahakoa ra he haere noa tenei; tera noa atu ia te tapu in aianei o o ratou mea.
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 Na ka hoatu te mea tapu e te tohunga ki a ia: kahore hoki o reira taro, heoi ano ko te taro aroaro i tangohia nei i te aroaro o Ihowa, kia whakatakotoria ai he taro mahana i te ra i tangohia ai.
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 Na, i reira tetahi o nga tangata a Haora i taua ra, e whakawarea ana ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ko tona ingoa ko Roeke Eromi, ko te mea tino nui o nga kaitiaki hipi a Haora.
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 Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Ahimereke, Kahore ianei i konei i raro i tou ringa tetahi tao, hoari ranei: kihai hoki i maua mai e ahau taku hoari me aku patu, he mea whakapotatutatu hoki te take a te kingi.
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 Ano ra ko te tohunga, Ko te hoari a Koriata, a te Pirihitini, i patua na e koe ki te raorao o Eraha; nana, koia tenei he mea takai ki te kakahu i muri o te epora. Ki te tangohia tena e koe mau, tangohia; kahore atu hoki, ko tena anake. Na ka mea a Rawiri, Kahore ona rite, homai ki ahau.
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 Katahi a Rawiri ka whakatika, a rere ana i taua ra ano i te wehi i a Haora, a tae tonu atu ki a Akihi kingi o Kata.
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 Na ka mea nga tangata a Akihi ki a ia, Ehara ianei tenei i a Rawiri, i te kingi o te whenua? kihai ianei ratou i waiata mona, tetahi ki tetahi i roto i nga kanikani, i mea, Na Haora ana mano i patu, na Rawiri ko ana tekau mano?
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 Na mau tonu iho enei kupu i te ngakau o Rawiri, a nui atu tona wehi i a Akihi kingi a Kata.
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 Na ka whakaahua ke ia ki to ratou aroaro, a ka whakahaurangi i a ia i roto i a ratou; ka haehae hoki i nga tatau o te kuwaha, a ka tuku i tona huhare kia tarere iho ki tona kimikumi.
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 Katahi a Akihi ka mea ki ana tangata, Nana, kua kite koutou i te tangata nei e haurangi ana; he aha i kawea mai ai ki ahau?
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 onge no aku tangata haurangi i kawea mai ai tenei e koutou hei mahi i nga mahi a te haurangi ki ahau? me uru mai koia tenei tahake ki toku whare?
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?”
