2 Hamuera 3

1 Na he roa te pakanga i waenganui o te whare o Haora me te whare o Rawiri: a ko Rawiri i kaha haere, ko te whare ia o Haora i ngoikore haere.

Naʻe fai fuoloa foki ʻae tau ʻae fale ʻo Saula pea mo e fale ʻo Tevita, ka naʻe fakaʻaʻau pe ke mālohi lahi ʻa Tevita, pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ke vaivai hifo ʻae fale ʻo Saula.

2 A i whanau etahi tama ma Rawiri ki Heperona: ko Amanono tana matamua, na Ahinoama Ietereeri;

Pea naʻe fānau ʻae fānau tangata kia Tevita ʻi Hepeloni: ko hono ʻuluaki ko ʻAmanoni, ʻia ʻAhinoami ko e [fefine ]Sesilili;

3 Ko Kireapa ano tana tuarua, na Apikaira wahine a Napara Karameri; ko Apoharama te tuatoru, he tama na Maaka tamahine a Taramai kingi o Kehuru;

Pea ko hono toko ua ko Kiliapi, ʻia ʻApikale naʻe mali mo Napale ko e tangata Kameli; pea ko hono toko tolu ko ʻApisalomi, ko e tama ʻa Meaka, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Talimai ko e tuʻi ʻo Kesuli:

4 Na ko Aronia te tuawha, he tama na Hakiti; a ko Hepatia te tuarima, he tama na Apitara;

Pea ko hono toko fā, ko ʻAtonisa, ko e tama ʻo Hakiti; pea ko hono toko nima, ko Sifatia ko e tama ʻo ʻApitali;

5 Ko Itireama te tuaono, na Ekera wahine a Rawiri. I whanau enei ki a Rawiri ki Heperona.

Pea ko hono toko ono, ko Itiliami, ʻia Ekila ko e uaifi ʻo Tevita. Naʻe fanauʻi ʻakinautolu ni kia Tevita ʻi Hepeloni.

6 A i te mea e whawha ana te whare o Haora ki te whare o Rawiri, na ka mea a Apanere i a ia ano kia kaha i roto i te whare o Haora.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he lolotonga ʻae fetauʻaki ʻae fale ʻo Saula pea mo e fale ʻo Tevita, naʻe kau mālohi ʻa ʻApina ki he fale ʻo Saula.

7 Na he wahine iti ta Haora i mua, ko Ritipa te ingoa, he tamahine na Aia: na ka mea a Ihipohete ki a Apanere, He aha koe i haere ai ki roto, ki te wahine a toku papa?

Pea naʻe ai ʻae fefine sinifu ʻo Saula, ʻaia naʻe hingoa ko Lisipa, ko e taʻahine ʻo ʻAia: pea naʻe pehē ʻe [Isiposeti ]kia ʻApina, “Ko e hā kuo ke hū atu ai ki he sinifu ʻo ʻeku tamai?”

8 Katahi ka mura rawa te riri o Apanere i nga kupu a Ihipohete, ka mea, He upoko kuri koia ahau no Hura? e atawhai nei ahau i tenei ra i te whare o Haora, o tou papa, i ona teina, i ona whanaunga, kihai hoki i tuku i a koe ki te ringa o Rawiri, heo i e whakahe nei koe i ahau inaianei mo tenei wahine.

Pea naʻe toki ʻita ʻaupito ʻa ʻApina koeʻuhi ko e lea ʻa Isiposeti, pea ne pehē, “He ko e ʻulu au ʻo ha kulī? Kuo u fai lelei ki Siuta he ʻaho ni ki he fale ʻo Saula ko hoʻo tamai, ki hono ngaahi tokoua, pea ki hono kāinga, pea kuo ʻikai te u tukuange koe ki he nima ʻo Tevita, ka kuo ke lau kiate au he ʻaho ni ha meʻa hala ki he fefine ni?

9 Kia meatia tenei e te Atua ki a Apanere, me etahi atu mea ano, ki te kahore ahau e mea i tena ki a Rawiri, pera i ta Ihowa i oati ai ki a ia;

Ke fai ʻe he ʻOtua kia ʻApina, ʻo lahi hake foki, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te u fai ʻo hangē ko e fuakava ʻa Sihova kia Tevita;

10 Hei whakawhiti atu i te kingitanga i te whare o Haora, hei whakapumau hoki i te torona o Rawiri i roto i a Iharaira, i roto i a Hura, mai i Rana a Peerehepa atu ana.

Ke hiki ʻae puleʻanga mei he fale ʻo Saula, pea ke fokotuʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo Tevita ki ʻIsileli mo Siuta, ʻo fai atu mei Tani ʻo aʻu ki Peasipa.”

11 A kihai i taea e ia te whakahoki kupu ki a Apanere, i wehi hoki ia i a ia.

Pea naʻe ʻikai te ne toe faʻa lea mai kia ʻApina, he naʻa ne manavahē kiate ia.

12 Na ka unga karere a Apanere ki a Rawiri, he mea nana ake, hei ki atu, No wai te whenua? hei mea hoki, Whakaritea tau kawenata ki ahau, nana, ko toku ringa hoki ki a koe hei mea i a Iharaira katoa kia anga ki a koe.

Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe ʻApina ʻae kau talafekau kia Tevita maʻana, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻo hai ʻae fonua? Mo ne pehē, Ke tā kau taha mo au, pea vakai, ʻe ʻiate koe ʻa hoku nima, ke fakatoka ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē kiate koe.”

13 Na ka mea tera, E pai ana; me whakarite kawenata ahau ki a koe: kotahi ano ia taku mea e tono ai ahau i a koe, ara e kore koe e kite i toku mata, ki te kahore e kawea mai e koe a Mikara tamahine a Haora, ina haere mai koe kia kite i toku mata.

Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOku lelei, te u fai ha fuakava mo koe: ka ko e meʻa ʻe taha kuo pau hoku loto ke ke fai, ʻa eni, ʻE ʻikai te ke sio ki hoku mata, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke tomuʻa ʻomi ʻa Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula, ʻoka ke ka hau ke sio ki hoku mata.”

14 I unga karere ano a Rawiri ki a Ihipohete tama a Haora, hei mea, Homai taku wahine a Mikara i taumautia e ahau maku ki nga kiri matamata kotahi rau o nga Pirihitini.

Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Tevita ʻae kau talafekau kia Isiposeti ko e foha ʻo Saula, ʻo ne pehē, “Tuku mai hoku uaifi ko Mikale, ʻaia naʻaku poloʻi kiate au ʻaki ʻae muʻa kili ʻe teau ʻoe kau Filisitia.”

15 Na ka unga tangata a Ihipohete ki te tango i a ia i tana tahu i a Paratiere tama a Raihi.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Isiposeti, ʻo ne ʻomi ia mei hono husepāniti ko Faliteli ko e foha ʻo Leisi.

16 I haere tahi ano tana tahu i a ia, me te tangi haere i muri i a ia, a tae noa ki Pahurimi. Na ka mea a Apanere ki a ia, Haere, e hoki. A hoki ana ia.

Pea naʻe muimui tangi pe ʻa hono husepāniti ʻiate ia ʻo aʻu ki Pahulimi. Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe ʻApina kiate ia, “ʻAlu, ʻo foki atu.” Pea naʻa ne foki ange.

17 Na ka korero a Apanere ki nga kaumatua o Iharaira, ka mea, I rapu koutou i a Rawiri i mua ake nei hei kingi mo koutou.

Pea naʻe fealēleaʻaki ʻa ʻApina pea mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻI he kuonga kuo hili naʻa mou kumi kia Tevita ke ne tuʻi kiate kimoutolu:

18 Na, tena ra; ko ta Ihowa korero hoki tenei mo Rawiri, i ki ai, Ma te ringa o Rawiri o taku pononga e whakaora ai ahau i taku iwi i a Iharaira i roto i te ringa o nga Pirihitini, i roto hoki i te ringa o o ratou hoariri katoa.

Pea ko eni fai ia: he kuo folofola ʻa Sihova ʻia Tevita, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻI he nima ʻo hoku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita te u fakamoʻui ʻa hoku kakai ʻIsileli mei he nima ʻoe kau Filisitia, pea mei he nima ʻo honau ngaahi fili kotoa pē.’”

19 A i korero ano a Apanere ki nga taringa o Pineamine; i haere ano a Apanere, a korerotia ana e ia ki nga taringa o Rawiri i Heperona nga mea katoa e pai ana ki te titiro a Iharaira, ki te titiro ano a te whare katoa o Pineamine.

Pea naʻe lea foki ʻa ʻApina ke ongo atu ki Penisimani: pea naʻe ʻalu foki ʻa ʻApina ke lea ʻi he telinga ʻo Tevita ʻi Hepeloni, ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe loto lelei ki ʻIsileli, mo ia naʻe lelei ai ʻae fale kotoa pē ʻo Penisimani.

20 Heoi ka haere a Apanere ki a Rawiri ki Heperona, e rua tekau hoki tangata ona hoa. A tukua ana e Rawiri he hakari ma Apanere ratou ko ona hoa.

Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻa ʻApina ki Hepeloni kia Tevita, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko uofulu. Pea naʻe fai ha kātoanga ʻe Tevita kia ʻApina pea mo e kau tangata naʻe ʻiate ia.

21 Na ka mea a Apanere ki a Rawiri, Ka whakatika ahau, ka haere, a ka huihui mai i a Iharaira katoa ki toku ariki, ki te kingi; a ma ratou e whakarite kawenata ki a koe, a hei kingi koe mo nga mea katoa e hiahia ai tou wairua. Na tukua atu ana a Ap anere e Rawiri, a haere marie ana ia.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻApina kia Tevita, “Te u tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu, pea te u tānaki ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi koeʻuhi ke nau fai ha fuakava mo koe, pea koeʻuhi ke ke puleʻi ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku holi ho loto ki ai.” Pea naʻe tukuange ʻe Tevita ʻa ʻApina; pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he melino pe.

22 Na ko te haerenga mai o nga tangata a Rawiri ratou ko Ioapa i te whai taua, he nui ano nga taonga i kawea mai e ratou: ko Apanere ia kahore i a Rawiri i Heperona; i tukua atu hoki ia, a haere marie ana.

Pea vakai, naʻe liu mai ʻae kakai ʻo Tevita mo Soape mei he vāhenga tau, pea [naʻa nau ]ʻomi mo kinautolu ʻae fuʻu koloa lahi: ka naʻe ʻikai ʻia Tevita ʻa ʻApina ʻi Hepeloni; he kuo ʻosi ʻa ʻene tukuange ia, pea kuo ʻalu ia ʻi he melino.

23 A, no te taenga mai o Ioapa ratou ko tana ope katoa, ka korerotia te korero ki a Ioapa, I haere mai a Apanere tama a Nere ki te kingi; a tukua atu ana ia e ia, a haere marie ana ia.

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai ʻa Soape mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, naʻa nau fakahā kia Soape, ʻo pehē, naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea ki he tuʻi, pea kuo ne tuku ia ke ʻalu, pea kuo ʻalu melino pe ia.

24 Na ka haere a Ioapa ki te kingi, a ka mea, He mahi aha tenei au? Nana, i haere mai a Apanere ki a koe: he aha ia i tukua atu ai e koe, a kua haere noa atu ia?

Ko ia naʻe toki haʻu ai ʻa Soape ki he tuʻi ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e hā eni kuo ke fai? Vakai kuo haʻu ʻa ʻApina kiate koe; ko e hā kuo ke tuku ai ia ke ne ʻalu, pea kuo ne mole atu ʻaupito?

25 E mohio ana koe ki a Apanere tama a Nere; i haere mai ia ki te tinihanga i a koe, kia mohio ai ia ki tou haerenga atu, ki tou haerenga mai, kia mohio ai hoki ki nga mea katoa e mea ai koe.

‌ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻa ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea naʻa ne haʻu ke kākaaʻi koe, pea ke ne matakiʻi ʻa hoʻo feʻaluʻaki, pea ke ʻilo ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ke fai.”

26 Na ka puta a Ioapa ki waho i te aroaro o Rawiri, a unga tangata ana ki te whai i a Apanere, a whakahokia mai ana ia e ratou i te puna i Hiraha; ko Rawiri ia kihai i mohio.

Pea hili ʻa ʻene haʻu ʻa Soape meia Tevita, naʻa ne kouna atu ʻae kau talafekau kia ʻApina, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia mei he vaikeli ko Sila: ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻe Tevita.

27 A, i te hokinga mai o Apanere ki Heperona, i a ia ano i te kuwaha, ka kawea ia e Ioapa ki tahaki; i mea kia ata korero ki a ia. Na patua ana ia i reira i te kopu, mate rawa, mo nga toto hoki o Atahere, o tona teina.

Pea ʻi heʻene liliu mai ʻa ʻApina ki Hepeloni, naʻe ʻave ia ʻe Soape ki he kau hala ʻi he matapā ke lea fakafufū kiate ia, pea naʻa ne hokaʻi ia ʻi ai ʻi hono kete ke ne mate, koeʻuhi ko e toto ʻo hono tokoua ko ʻAsaeli.

28 A, no te rongonga o Rawiri i muri iho, ka mea, Kahore he hara oku, o toku kingitanga, i nga toto o Apanere tama a Nere i te aroaro o Ihowa a ake ake.

Pea ʻi heʻene toki fanongo ki ai ʻa Tevita, naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOku ou ʻataʻatā au mo hoku puleʻanga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo taʻengata, ʻi he toto ʻo ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea:

29 Waiho kia tau iho ki runga ki te matenga o Ioapa, ki runga hoki i te whare katoa o tona papa: kaua hoki e kore i roto i te whare o Ioapa, tetahi i te mate rere, i te repera, i te whakawhirinaki ki te tokotoko, i te hinga i te hoari, i te kore ta ro ranei.

Tuku ke tō ia ki he ʻulu ʻo Soape, pea ki he fale kotoa ʻo ʻene tamai; pea ʻoua naʻa hala ʻae fale ʻo Soape ʻi ha kuonga, ʻi ha taha ʻoku mahaki kovi pe ha kilia, pe ha taha ʻoku faʻaki ki ha tokotoko, pe ha taha ʻoku tō ki he heletā, pe ha taha ʻoku masiva meʻakai.”

30 Heoi patua iho a Apanere e Ioapa raua ko Apihai, ko tona teina, hei utu mo to raua teina, mo Atahere, i whakamatea nei e ia ki Kipeono i te tatauranga.

Ko ia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻa ʻApina ʻe Soape mo ʻApisai ko hono tokoua, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tāmateʻi ʻa hona tokoua ko ʻAsaeli ʻi he tau ʻi Kipea.

31 Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Ioapa ratou ko tona nuinga katoa, Haea o koutou kakahu, whitikiria hoki he kakahu taratara ki a koutou, ka tangi ai ki a Apanere. I haere ano a Kingi Rawiri i muri i te amo.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻa Tevita kia Soape, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, Haehae ʻa homou ngaahi kofu, pea nonoʻo ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa, pea tēngihia ʻa ʻApina. Pea naʻe muimui ʻe Tevita ko e tuʻi ki he fata [ʻoe pekia].

32 Na ka tanumia a Apanere ki Heperona, a ka puaki te reo o te kingi, tangi ana i te urupa o Apanere; i tangi ano te iwi katoa.

Pea naʻa nau tanu ʻa ʻApina ʻi Hepeloni: pea naʻe hiki hake ʻe he tuʻi hono leʻo ʻo ne tangi ʻi he faʻitoka ʻo ʻApina; pea naʻe tangi ʻae kakai kotoa pē.

33 Na ka waiata apakura te kingi ki a Apanere, ka mea, Kia rite koia ki te matenga o te wairangi, te mate o Apanere?

Pea naʻe tēngihia ʻe he tuʻi ʻa ʻApina, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e hā kuo mate ai ʻa ʻApina, ʻo hangē ko ha tangata kovi?

34 Kihai ou ringa i herea, kihai ou waewae i paiherea ki te rahiri: rite tonu tou hinganga ki te hinganga o te tangata i te aroaro o nga tamariki o te kino. I tangi ano te iwi katoa ki a ia.

Naʻe ʻikai haʻi ho nima, pea naʻe ʻikai fakamaʻu ho vaʻe ʻi he meʻa haʻi: ʻo hangē ko e tō ha tangata ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai angakovi, naʻe pehē ʻa hoʻo hinga.” Pea naʻe toe tēngihia ia ʻe he kakai kotoa pē.

35 Na ka haere mai te iwi katoa ki te mea i a Rawiri kia kai i te mea e awatea ana ano. Na ka oati a Rawiri, ka mea, Kia meatia mai tenei e te Atua ki ahau, me etahi atu mea ano, ki te pa ahau ki te taro, ki tetahi atu mea ranei, i te mea kahore an o i to noa te ra.

Pea ʻi he haʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē kia Tevita ke kole ia ke ne kai ha meʻa ʻi heʻene kei ʻaho, naʻe fuakava ʻe Tevita, ʻo pehē, “Ke pehē hono fai kiate au ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo lahi hake, ʻo kapau te u kamata ha konga [mā], pe ha meʻa kehe, kaeʻoua ke tō hifo ʻae laʻā.”

36 Na ka mohio te iwi katoa, a pai tonu ki ta ratou titiro; pera tonu me nga mea katoa i meatia e te kingi, he pai kau ki te titiro a te iwi katoa.

Pea naʻe tokanga ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea naʻa nau leleiʻia ai: ʻo hangē foki ko e fiemālie ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe he tuʻi.

37 Na ka matau te iwi katoa ratou ko Iharaira katoa i taua ra ehara i te kingi nana i mea kia whakamatea a Apanere tama a Nere.

He naʻe ʻilo ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe he kakai kotoa pē mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē, naʻe ʻikai ko e loto ʻoe tuʻi ke tāmateʻi ʻa ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea.

38 I mea hoki te kingi ki ana tangata, Kahore ianei koutou i matau, he rangatira, he tangata nui, kua hinga nei inaianei i roto i a Iharaira?

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ko e ʻeiki mo e tangata ongoongo kuo tō hifo he ʻaho ni ʻi ʻIsileli?

39 Ko ahau hoki, ahakoa i whakawahia hei kingi, iwikore ana i tenei ra; he maro rawa moku enei tangata, nga tama a Teruia. Kia rite ki tana kino ta Ihowa utu ki te kaimahi o te kino.

Pea kuo u vaivai he ʻaho ni, neongo kuo pani au ko e tuʻi: pea ʻoku faingataʻa fau kiate au ʻae kau tangata na ko e ngaahi tama ʻo Seluia: ʻe totongi ʻe Sihova ki he fai kovi ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene ngāue kovi.”
