1 Hamuera 26
1 Na ka haere nga Tiwhi ki a Haora ki Kipea, ka mea, He teka ianei kei te piri a Rawiri ki Maunga Hakira, ki te wahi e anga ana ki Hehimono?
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tangata Sifi kia Saula ki Kipea, ʻonau pehē, ʻIkai ʻoku toitoi ʻa Tevita ʻi he moʻunga ʻo Hakila ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki Sesimoni?
2 Katahi a Haora ka whakatika, a haere ana ki raro, ki te koraha o Tiwhi, e toru hoki mano ana tangata, he hunga whiriwhiri i roto i a Iharaira, ki te rapu i a Rawiri i te koraha o Tiwhi.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Saula ʻo ne hifo ki he toafa ʻo Sifi, naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolu afe naʻe fili mei ʻIsileli, kenau kumi ʻa Tevita ʻi he toafa ʻo Sifi.
3 A i noho a Haora ki Maunga Hakira, ki tera e anga ana ki Hehimono, ki te huarahi: ko Rawiri ia i noho ki te koraha; a ka kite ia kua tae atu a Haora ki te koraha ki te whai i a ia,
Pea naʻe ʻapitanga ʻa Saula ʻi he moʻunga ʻo Hakila, ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki Sesimoni, ʻi he veʻehala. Ka naʻe nofo ʻa Tevita ʻi he toafa, ʻo ne vakai mei ai ʻae haʻu ʻa Saula ke kumi ia ʻi he toafa.
4 Na tonoa ana etahi tutei e Rawiri, a ka mohio ia he tino tika te haerenga mai o Haora.
Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe Tevita ʻae kau mataki, ʻo ne ʻilo kuo haʻu moʻoni ʻa Saula.
5 Na ka whakatika a Rawiri, a ka haere ki te wahi i puni ai a Haora: na ka titiro a Rawiri ki te takotoranga o Haora raua ko Apanere tama a Nere, ko te rangatira o tana ope; na kei te takoto a Haora i te parepare, i tetahi taha ano hoki ona, i teta hi taha, te puninga o te iwi.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita, ʻo ne haʻu ki he potu ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻapitanga ai ʻa Saula: pea naʻe vakai ʻe Tevita ki he potu naʻe tokoto ai ʻa Saula mo ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea, ko e ʻeiki ʻoe tau: pea naʻe tokoto ʻa Saula ʻi heʻene saliote, pea naʻe nofo takatakai ʻa ʻene kakai kiate ia.
6 Na ka oho a Rawiri ki a Ahimereke Hiti raua ko Apihai tama a Teruia, ko te teina o Ioapa, ka mea, Ko wai e haere hei hoa moku ki raro, ki a Haora, ki te puni ra? Ka mea a Apihai, Ko taua e haere.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Tevita ʻo pehē kia ʻAhimeleki ko e tangata Heti, mo ʻApisai ko e tama ʻa Seluia, ko e tokoua ʻo Soape, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai ʻe ʻalu hifo mo au kia Saula ki he ʻapitanga?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻApisai, “Ta ō hifo mo koe.”
7 Na ko te haerenga o Rawiri raua ko Apihai ki te iwi i te po: na kei te takoto tera a Haora i te parepare me tana tao pou rawa ki te whenua i te taha o tona urunga: i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha ko Apanere hoki ratou ko te iwi e takoto ana.
Ko ia naʻe hoko ai ʻa Tevita mo ʻApisai ki he kakai ʻi he poʻuli: pea vakai, naʻe tokoto ʻo mohe ʻa Saula ʻi heʻene saliote, pea naʻe velo hono tao ki he kelekele ʻi hono ʻolunga: pea naʻe tokoto ʻa ʻApina mo e kakai ʻo takatakai ʻiate ia.
8 Katahi a Apihai ka mea ki a Rawiri, Kua tukua putia e te Atua tou hoariri inaianei ki tou ringa: na kia kotahi taku werohanga i a ia aianei ki te tao, titi pu ki te whenua; e kore ano e tuaruatia.
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe ʻApisai kia Tevita, “Kuo tuku ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ho fili ki ho nima he ʻaho ni: pea ko eni ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke u veloʻi leva ia ʻaki ʻae tao ki he kelekele, pea ʻe ʻikai te u veloʻi ia ke liunga ua.”
9 Ano ra ko Rawiri ki a Apihai, Kaua ia e whakangaromia: ko wai hoki e harakore ki te totoro tona ringa ki ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻApisai, “ʻOua naʻa tāmateʻi ia: he ko hai ʻe mafao atu hono nima ki he fakatapui ʻa Sihova pea taʻeangahala ia?”
10 I mea ano a Rawiri, E ora ana a Ihowa, ma Ihowa ia e patu; tera e tae mai tona ra e mate ai; ka uru ranei ia ki te whawhai a ka ngaro.
Pea naʻe lea foki ʻa Tevita, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova pea ʻe taaʻi ia ʻe Sihova pea ʻe hokosia hono ʻaho ke mate ai pē te ne ʻalu ki ha tau, pea mate ai.
11 Ma Ihowa e arai kei totoro toku ringa ki ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai. Engari tangohia te tao i tona urunga, me te ipu wai, a kia haere taua.
Ke taʻofi au ʻe Sihova ke ʻoua naʻaku mafao hoku nima ki he fakatapui ʻa Sihova: ka ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke toʻo ni ʻae tao ʻoku ʻi hono ʻolunga, pea mo e ipu vai, pea ke ta ō.”
12 Heoi tangohia ana e Rawiri te tao me te ipu wai i te urunga o Haora; a haere ana raua; kihai hoki tetahi i kite, kihai i mohio, kihai hoki i oho: i te moe katoa hoki ratou; na Ihowa hoki i mea kia au ta ratou moe.
Ko ia naʻe toʻo ai ʻe Tevita ʻae tao mo e ipu vai mei he ʻolunga ʻo Saula: pea ne na hiki, ʻo na ō, pea naʻe ʻikai mamata ki ai ha tangata ʻe tokotaha, pe ʻilo ia, pe ʻā ai: he kuo nau mohe kotoa pē; koeʻuhi kuo tō kiate kinautolu ʻae mohe maʻu meia Sihova.
13 Katahi a Rawiri ka haere ki tera taha, a tu ana i runga i te tihi o tetahi puke i tawhiti; he nui te takiwa atu ki a ratou.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Tevita ʻo laka ki he potu ʻe taha, pea tuʻu ia ki he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga ʻo mamaʻo ai; ko e ʻataʻatā lahi naʻe ʻi hona vahaʻa:
14 Na ka karanga a Rawiri ki te iwi, ki a Apanere hoki tama a Nere, ka mea, E kore ranei koe e o mai e Apanere? Katahi ka whakahokia e Apanere, Ko wai koe e karanga mai na ki te kingi?
Pea naʻe ui ʻe Tevita ki he kakai, pea kia ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea, ʻo pehē, “ʻApina ʻoku ʻikai te ke lea?” Pea naʻe lea ai ʻa ʻApina, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai koe ʻoku ke ui ki he tuʻi?”
15 Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Apanere, He teka ianei he toa koe, ko wai hoki hei rite mou i roto i a Iharaira? He aha koe te tiaki ai i tou ariki, i te kingi? I haere atu hoki tetahi o te iwi ki te whakangaro i te kingi, i tou ariki.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻApina, “ʻIkai ko e tangata koe? Pea ko hai ʻoku hangē ko koe ʻi ʻIsileli? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai te ke maluʻi ai hoʻo ʻeiki ko e tuʻi? He naʻe ʻalu atu ha tokotaha mei he kakai ke taaʻi ʻae tuʻi ko ho ʻeiki.
16 Ehara tenei i te mea pai i meatia nei e koe. E ora ana a Ihowa, ka tika te mate mo koutou, kihai hoki i tiaki i to koutou ariki, i ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai. Na, tirohia kei hea te tao a te kingi, me te ipu wai i tona urunga?
Ko e meʻa kuo ke fai ʻoku ʻikai lelei. Hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻoku totonu ke mou mate tāmateʻi, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te mou leʻohi homou ʻeiki ko e fakatapui ʻe Sihova. Pea ko eni, vakai, kuo ʻi fē ʻae tao ʻoe tuʻi mo e ipu vai naʻe ʻi hono ʻolunga.”
17 Na kua mohio a Haora ki te reo o Rawiri, a ka mea, Nou tena reo, e taku tama, e Rawiri? Ano ra ko Rawiri, Noku te reo, e toku ariki, e te kingi.
Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe Saula ʻae leʻo ʻo Tevita, ʻo ne pehē, “He ko ho leʻo ʻena, ʻa hoku foha ko Tevita?” Pea pehē ʻe Tevita, “Ko hoku leʻo ia, ʻE tuʻi ko hoku ʻeiki.”
18 I mea ano ia, Na te aha tenei whai a toku ariki i tana pononga, i aha hoki ahau? he aha hoki te he o toku ringa?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku tuli pehē ai ʻe hoku ʻeiki ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki? He ko e hā ia naʻaku fai? Pe ko e hā ha kovi ʻoku ʻi hoku nima?
19 Tena ra, kia rongo mai toku ariki te kingi ki nga kupu a tana pononga, Ki te mea na Ihowa koe i whakaoho kia tahuri mai ki ahau, kia manako mai ia ki te whakahere: tena ko tenei, na nga tama a te tangata, kia kanga ratou i te aroaro o Ihowa; mo ratou i pei nei i ahau kei tata ki to Ihowa wahi tupu, mo te ki mai, Haere, e mahi ki nga atua ke.
Pea ko eni, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke fanongo ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ki he lea ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki. Kapau kuo langaʻi koe ʻe Sihova ke tauʻi au, tuku ke ne maʻu mālie ha feilaulau: pea kapau ʻoku mei he fānau ʻae tangata, ke malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; he kuo nau kapusi au he ʻaho ni, ke ʻoua naʻaku nofo ʻi he tofiʻa ʻo Sihova, ʻonau pehē, ‘ʻAlu ʻo tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe.’
20 Tena ra, kaua oku toto e maringi ki te whenua i tawhiti atu i te aroaro o Ihowa: i haere mai hoki te kingi o Iharaira ki te rapu i tetahi puruhi, me te mea ko tetahi e whai ana i te patiri i runga i nga maunga.
Pea ko eni, ke ʻoua naʻa tafe hoku toto ki he kelekele ʻi he ʻao ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova: he kuo haʻu kituaʻā ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ke kumi ʻae kutufisi, ʻo hangē ha tokotaha ʻoku tuli ʻae veka ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga.”
21 Na ka mea a Haora, Kua hara ahau; hoki atu, e taku tama, e Rawiri; e kore hoki ahau e mahi i te kino ki a koe a muri ake nei, no te mea he taonga nui ki tou whakaaro toku wairua inaianei. Nana, he mahi kuware taku, nui atu toku he.
Pea pehē ai ʻe Saula, “Kuo u fai angahala: ʻe hoku foha ko Tevita, tafoki mai: ʻe ʻikai te u toe fai ha kovi kiate koe, koeʻuhi naʻe maʻongoʻonga ʻa hoku laumālie ʻi ho ʻao he ʻaho ni: vakai, kuo u fai ʻae anga fakavalevale, pea kuo u hē lahi ʻaupito.”
22 Na ka whakahoki a Rawiri, ka mea, Nana, te tao nei, e te kingi! tukua mai nei tetahi o nga taitamariki kia haere mai ki te tiki.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe Tevita ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ko e tao ʻoe tuʻi! Pea ke haʻu ha tokotaha ʻoe kau talavou ʻo ʻatu ia.
23 A ma Ihowa e hoatu ki ia tangata, ki ia tangata tona tika me tona pono: kua homai nei hoki koe e Ihowa i tenei ra ki toku ringa, a kihai ahau i pai kia totoro toku ringa ki ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai.
Ke ʻatu ʻe Sihova ki he tangata kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko ʻene māʻoniʻoni mo ʻene angatonu: he naʻe tuku mai koe ʻe Sihova ki hoku nima he ʻaho ni, ka naʻe ʻikai te u loto ke mafao atu hoku nima ke taaʻi ʻae fakatapui ʻe Sihova.
24 Nana, kua nui nei tou ora ki taku tirohanga atu i tenei ra, kia pera ano hoki te nui o toku ora ki ta Ihowa titiro, a kia whakaorangia ahau e ia i nga mate katoa.
Pea vakai, hangē naʻe mahuʻinga lahi hoʻo moʻui he ʻaho ni ʻi hoku mata, ʻofa ke mahuʻinga pehē ʻeku moʻui ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻe ia au mei he ngaahi mamahi kotoa pē.”
25 Katahi a Haora ka mea ki a Rawiri, Kia manaakitia koe, e taku tama, e Rawiri: ka oti ra i a koe nga mahi nunui, a he pono ka puta tou mana. Heoi haere ana a Rawiri i tona huarahi; a hoki ana a Haora ki tona wahi.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula kia Tevita, “ʻE hoku foha ko Tevita: ke monūʻia pe koe, he te ke fai pe ʻe koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, pea ke ikuna foki.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Tevita ʻi hono hala, pea liu atu ʻa Saula ki hono potu.
