1 Hamuera 9
1 Na tera tetahi tangata o Pinemine, ko Kihi tona ingoa, he tama na Apiere, tama a Teroro, tama a Pekorata, tama a Apiaha, he Pineamini, he tangata marohirohi.
Pea naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻo Penisimani, ko Kisi hono hingoa, ko e foha ʻo ʻApieli, ko e foha ʻo Siloa, ko e foha ʻo Pikolati, ko e foha ʻo ʻAfia ko e tangata Penisimani, ko e tangata mālohi.
2 He tama ano tana, ko tona ingoa ko Haora, he taitama, he ataahua, he pai, kahore he tangata o nga tama a Iharaira i ataahua atu i a ia; purero tonu ona pokohiwi ki runga ake i te iwi katoa.
Pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae foha ko Saula hono hingoa, ko e tangata talavou lelei, mo toulekeleka: pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli naʻe lelei hake ʻiate ia: mei hono uma ʻo fai ki ʻolunga naʻe māʻolunga lahi taha pe ia ʻi he kakai kotoa pē.
3 Na kua ngaro nga kaihe a Kihi papa o Haora, a ka mea a Kihi ki a Haora, ki tana tama, Tangohia tetahi o nga tamariki hei hoa mou, whakatika, haere ki te rapu i nga kaihe.
Pea naʻe hē ʻae fanga ʻasi ʻa Kisi ko ʻene tamai. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kisi kia Saula ko hono foha, “Ko eni ke ke ʻave ʻae tokotaha ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ke ʻalu ʻo kumi ʻae fanga ʻasi.”
4 Na ka tika ia na te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, a haere tonu na te whenua o Hariha; heoi kihai i kitea: katahi raua ka tika na te whenua o Harimi, heoi kahore noa iho; na ka haere ia na te whenua o nga Pineamini, a kahore i kitea.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo ʻasi ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻo ne ʻosiki ʻae fonua ʻo Salisa, ka naʻe ʻikai te na ʻilo ʻakinautolu: pea naʻa na toki ō ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua ʻo Salima, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻi ai: pea ʻalu ia ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Penisimani, ka naʻe ʻikai te na ʻilo ʻakinautolu.
5 A, no to raua taenga ki te whenua o Tupu, ka mea a Haora ki tana tangata, ki tona hoa, Haere mai, taua ka hoki; kei mutu te whakaaro o toku papa ki nga kaihe, a ka manukanuka ke ki a taua.
Pea ʻi he ʻena hoko ki he fonua ʻo Sufi, naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki naʻe ʻiate ia, “Ke ta tafoki; telia naʻa tuku ʻe heʻeku tamai ʻene tokanga ki he fanga ʻasi, pea hoko ʻo tokanga kiate kitaua.”
6 Na ka mea tera ki a ia, He tangata na te Atua tenei kei te pa nei, he tangata e whakahonoretia ana; mana pu ana kupu katoa: na kia haere taua ki reira; tera pea e korerotia mai e ia ki a taua te haere e haere nei taua.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Vakai mai, ʻoku ʻi he kolo ni ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ko e tangata ongoongolelei ia; ʻoku hoko moʻoni ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ne lea ki ai: pea ko eni ke ta ō ki ai; heiʻilo pe te ne faʻa fakahā mai hota hala ke ta ō ai.”
7 Ano ra ko Haora ki tana tangata, Engari, ki te haere taua he aha te mea hei mauranga atu ma taua ki taua tangata, kua hemo nei hoki te taro i roto i a taua putea, a kahore he hakari hei kawenga atu ki taua tangata a te Atua: he aha oti ta taua?
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Saula ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Kae vakai, kapau te ta ō, ko e hā te ta ʻave ki he tangata? He kuo ʻosi ʻae mā ʻi heʻeta ngaahi ipu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻaʻofa ke ʻatu ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua: ko e hā ʻoku ta maʻu?”
8 Na ka whakahoki taua tangata ki ta Haora, ka mea, Nana, ko te whakawha tenei o te hekere hiriwa kei toku ringa: me hoatu e ahau ki taua tangata a te Atua, kia whakaaturia mai e ia to taua ara ki a taua.
Pea naʻe toe lea ʻae tamaioʻeiki kia Saula, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻiate au hono fā ʻoe vahe ʻoe sikeli siliva: te u ʻatu ia ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ke ne fakahā hota hala.”
9 I mua hoki i roto i a Iharaira, ina haere te tangata ki te ui tikanga i te Atua, ko tana ki tenei, Hoake, taua ka haere ki te matakite: he matakite hoki ta mua ingoa mo te poropiti.
(ʻI he ʻalu ha tangata ʻi muʻa ʻi ʻIsileli ke fehuʻi ki he ʻOtua, naʻe lea ia ʻo pehē, “Haʻu ke tau ō ki he tangata kikite: he ko ia ʻoku ui ni ko e Palōfita, naʻe ui ia ʻi muʻa ko e tangata kikite.”)
10 Na ka mea a Haora ki tana tangata, Ka pai tau kupu; hoatu, taua ka haere. Na haere ana raua ki te pa kei reira nei taua tangata a te Atua.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “ʻOku lelei hoʻo lea, haʻu ke ta ō.” Ko ia ne na ō ai ki he kolo ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua.
11 I a raua e piki ana i te pikitanga ki te pa, ka tutaki raua ki etahi kotiro e puta mai ana ki te utu wai. Na ka mea raua ki a ratou, Tenei ranei te matakite?
Pea ʻi heʻena ʻohake ʻi he moʻunga ki he kolo, naʻa na ʻilo ʻae kau finemui naʻe ʻalu ke ʻutu vai, pea ne na pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻi heni ʻae tangata kikite?”
12 Na ka whakahoki ratou ki a raua, ka mea, Tenei ano; nana, kei mua atu i a koe na: hohoro atu inaianei tonu, no tenei ra hoki ia i tae mai ai ki te pa; he patunga tapu hoki ta te iwi nei aianei i te wahi tiketike.
Pea naʻa nau tali ʻakinaua, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻi ai ia; vakai, ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ia ʻiate kimoua: mo fakatoʻotoʻo, he naʻe haʻu he ʻaho ni ia ki he kolo; he ʻoku ai ʻae kātoanga ʻae kakai he ʻaho ni ʻi he potu māʻolunga:
13 Tomo kau korua ki te pa, ka tupono korua ki a ia i te mea kahore ano i piki noa ki te wahi tiketike ki te kai: e kore hoki te iwi e kai kia tae atu ra ano ia; ko ia hoki hei whakapai i te patunga tapu, muri iho ka kai te hunga i karangatia. Heoi, piki atu; ko te wa hoki tenei e kitea ai ia e korua.
ʻI hoʻomo hoko ki he kolo, te mo ʻilo leva ia, ʻi he teʻeki ke ʻalu hake ia ki he potu māʻolunga ke kai: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai kai ʻe he kakai kaeʻoua ke hoko ange ia, he ʻoku ne tāpuaki ʻae feilaulau; pea hili ia, ʻe toki kai ʻakinautolu naʻe tala ki ai. Ko ia mo ʻohake eni; he ko e feituʻulaʻā eni te mo ʻilo ia.”
14 Na piki ana raua ki te pa; a ka uru atu raua ki roto ki te pa, ko Hamuera kua puta; tutaki tonu ki a raua; e piki ana ki te wahi tiketike.
Pea naʻa na ʻohake ki he kolo: pea ʻi heʻena hoko hake ki he kolo, vakai, naʻe hū kituʻa ʻa Samuela kiate kinaua, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu hake ki he potu māʻolunga.
15 Na kua whakapuakina e Ihowa ki a Hamuera i te ra i mua atu i te taenga mai o Haora, kua mea,
Ka ko eni kuo ʻosi hono fakahā ʻe Sihova ki he telinga ʻo Samuela ʻi he ʻaho naʻe muʻa ʻi he hoko atu ʻa Saula, ʻo pehē,
16 Kia penei apopo ka unga atu e ahau ki a koe tetahi tangata no te whenua o Pineamine, na me whakawahi ia e koe hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, a mana e whakaora taku iwi i te ringa o nga Pirihitini: kua titiro atu hoki ahau ki taku iwi, n o te mea kua tae ake ta ratou karanga ki ahau.
“Feʻunga mo e feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi te u fekau kiate koe ʻae tangata mei he fonua ʻo Penisimani, pea te ke fakanofo ia ko e ʻeiki ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ne fakamoʻui hoku kakai mei he nima ʻoe kau Filisitia: he kuo u vakai ki hoku kakai, koeʻuhi kuo hoko hake ʻenau tangi kiate au.”
17 A, no te kitenga o Hamuera i a Haora, ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Ko te tangata tenei i korerotia ra e ahau ki a koe. Mana e whakahaere tikanga mo taku iwi.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Samuela kia Saula, naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Vakai ko e tangata eni ʻaia ne u lea ai kiate koe! Ko ia ia te ne pule ki hoku kakai.”
18 Katahi ka whakatata a Haora ki a Hamuera, ki te kuwaha, ka mea, Tena koe, whakaaturia mai ki ahau, kei hea te whare o te matakite.
Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Saula kia Samuela ʻi he matapā, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ke ke tala mai, ko e fē ʻae fale ʻoe tangata kikite?”
19 Na ka whakahoki a Hamuera ki a Haora, ka mea, Ko ahau te matakite: piki atu i mua i ahau ki te wahi tiketike, ka kai tahi hoki korua i ahau aianei; a ka tukua atu koe e ahau i te ata, ka whakaaturia hoki ki a koe nga mea katoa i tou ngakau.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe Samuela ʻa Saula, ʻo pehē, “Ko au ko e tangata kikite: ke ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate au ki he potu māʻolunga, he te tau kai mo au he ʻaho ni, pea te u tuku koe ke ʻalu ʻapongipongi, pea te u tala kiate koe ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho loto.
20 A ko au kaihe, ka toru nei nga ra e ngaro ana, kaua tou ngakau e whai ki era; kua kitea hoki. Kei a wai koia te hiahia katoa o Iharaira? he teka ianei kei a koe, kei te whare katoa ano hoki o tou papa?
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he fanga ʻasi ʻaia naʻe hē ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu kuo hili, ʻoua naʻa tokanga ho loto ki ai; he kuo ʻilo ʻakinautolu. Pea ʻoku tau kia hai ʻae holi ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē? ʻIkai ʻoku ʻiate koe, pea ki he fale kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo tamai?”
21 Na ka whakahokia e Haora, ka mea, He teka ianei he Pineamini ahau, no te iti rawa o nga iwi o Iharaira, ko toku hapu hoki te iti rawa o nga hapu katoa o te iwi o Pineamine? he aha ra ena kupu i puaki mai ai i a koe?
Pea naʻe tali ʻe Saula ʻo pehēange, “ʻIkai ko e tangata Penisimani au ʻi he faʻahinga ʻoku siʻi hifo ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli? Pea ko hoku fale ko e siʻi taha pe ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke lea pehē ai kiate au?”
22 Na ka mau a Hamuera ki a Haora raua ko tana tangata, a kawea ana ki te whare, a hoatu ana e ia he nohoanga ki a raua i runga ake o te hunga i karangatia; e toru tekau ano hoki ratou.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Samuela ʻa Saula mo ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ki he potu fale kuo teuteu, ʻo ne fakanofo ʻakinaua ʻi he potu lahi taha pe ʻiate kinautolu naʻe tala, ʻaia ko e toko tolungofulu nai.
23 Na ka mea a Hamuera ki te tuari, Homai te wahi i hoatu e ahau ki a koe, tera i kiia atu ra e ahau ki a koe, Kia takoto tena ki a koe.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela ki he ngaohi kai, “ʻOmi ʻae tufakanga naʻaku ʻatu kiate koe, ʻaia naʻaku lea ki ai kiate koe, Tuku pe ia ʻo tauhi.”
24 Na hapainga ana e te tuari te huha me ona aha noa, a whakatakotoria ana ki te aroaro o Haora. Na ka mea a Hamuera, Nana, ko te wahi i tohungia na, waiho i tou aroaro hei kai mau: he mea rongoa tonu hoki mau a tae noa ki tenei wa, no taku kianga, He hunga tenei kua karangatia e ahau. Na kai tahi ana a Haora raua ko Hamuera i taua ra.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe he ngaohi kai ʻae alanga muʻa, mo ia naʻe ʻi ai, ʻo tuku ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Saula. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela, “Vakai, ko ia ʻoku toe ke tuku ia ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke kai: he naʻe tauhi ia kiate koe ʻo aʻu ki he feituʻulaʻā ni talu ʻeku pehē, kuo u tala ki he kakai.” Pea ko ia naʻe kai ʻe Saula mo Samuela ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
25 A, i to ratou hekenga iho i te wahi tiketike ki te pa, ka korero ia ki a Haora i runga i te tuanui.
Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hifo mei he potu māʻolunga ki he kolo, naʻe alea ʻa Samuela mo Saula ʻi he tuʻa fale.
26 Na ka maranga wawe ratou: a i te mea ka puta ake te ra, ka karangatia a Haora e Hamuera ki runga ki te tuanui, i mea ia, Whakatika, kia unga atu koe e ahau. Na ka whakatika a Haora, a puta atu ana raua tokorua, a ia, a Hamuera, ki waho.
Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake pea feʻunga mo e maʻa ʻae ʻaho, naʻe ui ʻe Samuela ke ʻalu hake ʻa Saula ki he tuʻa fale, ʻo pehē, “Tuʻu hake koeʻuhi ke u tuku koe ke ke ʻalu.” Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Saula, pea naʻa na ō kituʻa fakatouʻosi pe, ʻaia mo Samuela ki he mamaʻo.
27 I a raua e heke ana i te pito o te pa, ka mea a Hamuera ki a Haora, Mea atu ki te tangata ra kia haere atu ki mua i a taua; katahi tera ka haere; ko koe ia, tu marie koe, kia whakapuakina atu e ahau ki a koe te kupu a te Atua.
Pea ʻi heʻena ʻohifo ki hono ngataʻanga ʻoe kolo, naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela kia Saula, “Fekau ki he tamaioʻeiki ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate kitaua, (pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia, ) ka ke tuʻumaʻu pe ʻa koe, koeʻuhi ke u fakahā kiate koe ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua.”
