1 A, no ka rongo a Ihipohete, te tama a Haora kua mate a Apanere ki Heperona, na ngohe noa iho ona ringi, a raru ana a Iharaira katoa.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe he foha ʻo Saula kuo mate ʻa ʻApina ʻi Hepeloni, naʻe vaivai ai hono nima, pea naʻe puputuʻu ai ʻae kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē.
2 Na tokorua nga tangata a Ihipohete, te tama a Haora, he rangatira ngohi, ko te ingoa o tetahi ko Paana, ko te ingoa hoki o tetahi ko Rekapa, he tama na Rimono Peeroti, no nga tama a Pineamine; i kiia hoki a Peeroto no Pineamine.
Pea naʻe ʻi he foha ʻo Saula ʻae ongo tangata naʻe pule ki he matanga tau; ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Paʻana, pea ko e hingoa ʻoe taha ko Lekapi, ko e ongo foha ʻo Limoni ʻi he kakai Piheloti, ʻi he fānau ʻa Penisimani: (he naʻe lau fakataha ʻa Piheloti mo Penisimani:
3 I rere hoki nga Peeroti ki Kitaima, a noho ana i reira a taea noatia tenei ra.
Pea naʻe hola ʻae kakai Piheloti ki Kiteimi, pea naʻa nau ʻāunofo ai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.)
4 Na he tama ta Honatana tama a Haora, he kopa ona waewae. E rima nga tau o tona whanautanga i te taenga mai o te rongo o Haora raua ko Honatana i Ietereere, na ka mau tona kaihiki ki a ia, a rere ana: a, i a ia e taika ana ki te rere, ka hinga ia, kopa tonu iho; ko Mepipohete tona ingoa.
Pea naʻe ʻia Sonatane, ko e foha ʻo Saula, ʻae foha naʻe ketu. Naʻe nima taʻu ia ʻi he hā mai ʻae ongoongo ʻia Saula mo Sonatane mei Sesilili, pea naʻe toʻo hake ia ʻe he fefine naʻe tauhi kiate ia, ʻo ne hola: pea pehē, lolotonga ʻa ʻene fai fakatoʻotoʻo ke hola, naʻa ne hinga ʻo ne ketu ai. Pea ko hono hingoa ko Mifiposeti.
5 Na ka haere nga tama a Rimono Peeroti, a Rekapa raua ko Paana, a haere ana i te mahanatanga o te ra ki te whare o Ihipohete, i a ia e okioki ana i te poutumarotanga.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae ongo foha ʻo Limoni ko e tangata Piheloti, ko Lekapi mo Paʻana, ʻo na omi ki he fale ʻo Isiposeti ʻo feʻunga mo e pupuha ʻoe ʻaho, pea naʻe tokoto ia ʻi ha mohenga ʻi he hoʻatā.
6 Na haere ana raua ki reira ki waenganui o te whare, me te mea he tiki witi mai ta raua; na patua iho ia ki te kopu, a rere ana a Rakapa raua ko tona teina, ko Paana.
Pea naʻa na hū atu ki loto fale, ʻo hangē te na fai ke fetuku ha uite pea naʻa na hokaʻi ia ʻi hono fatafata pea naʻe hola ʻo hao ʻa Lekapi mo Paʻana ko hono tokoua.
7 I to raua haerenga hoki ki te whare, i te takoto tera i tona whare moenga; na patua ana ia e raua, whakamatea iho, na tangohia ana tona upoko, a mauria ana tona upoko. Na pau katoa taua po i a raua e haere ana na te ara o te mania.
He koeʻuhi ʻi heʻena hū atu ki fale, naʻa ne tokoto ki hono mohenga ʻi hono loki, pea naʻa na tali ia, ʻo tāmateʻi, ʻo na tutuʻu hono ʻulu, ʻo na ʻave hono ʻulu, pea naʻa na hola ʻi he toafa ʻi he pō kotoa ko ia.
8 Na kawea ana e raua te upoko o Ihipohete ki a Rawiri ki Heperona, a ka mea ki te kingi, Nana, te matenga o Ihipohete tama a Haora, o tou hoariri i whai nei kia whakamatea koe; na kua mea nei a Ihowa i toku ariki, i te kingi kia whai utu i tenei r a i a Haora ratou ko ona uri.
Pea naʻa na ʻomi ʻae ʻulu ʻo Isiposeti kia Tevita ʻi Hepeloni, ʻo na pehē ki he tuʻi, “Vakai, ko e ʻulu eni ʻo Isiposeti ko e foha ʻo Saula, ko ho fili, ʻaia naʻe kumi ki hoʻo moʻui; pea kuo fai ʻe Sihova ʻae totongi ki heʻeku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi he ʻaho ni, ʻia Saula, pea mo hono hako.”
9 Na ka whakahoki a Rawiri ki ta Rekapa raua ko tona teina, ko Paana, ki ta nga tama a Rimono Peeroti, ka mea ia ki a raua, E ora ana a Ihowa i whakaora nei i toku wairua i roto i nga he katoa,
Pea naʻe tali ʻe Tevita kia Lekapi mo Paʻana ko hono tokoua, ko e ongo foha ʻo Limoni ko e tangata Piheloti, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻO hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne huhuʻi hoku laumālie mei he kovi kotoa pē,
10 I te korerotanga mai a tetahi ki ahau, i te meatanga, Nana, kua mate a Haora, tohu noa ia he kaikawe mai ia i nga korero pai, hopukia ana ia e ahau, patua iho ki Tikiraka; ko te utu tera i hoatu e ahau mo tana korero.
‌ʻI hono fakahā mai ʻe he tokotaha kiate au, ʻo pehē, ‘Vakai, kuo pekia ʻa Saula,’ ko ʻene pehē ko e ongoongolelei kuo ne ʻomi, naʻaku puke ia, pea u tāmateʻi ia ʻi Sikilaki, ka naʻa ne mahalo te u ʻatu ha totongi lelei koeʻuhi ko ʻene ongoongo:
11 Tena ko tenei ka patu te hunga kino i te tangata tika i roto i tona whare, i runga ano i tona moenga, e kore ianei ahau e rapu i ona toto aianei i o korua ringa, e huna hoki i a korua i runga i te whenua?
Kae huanoa eni, ʻi he tāmateʻi ʻe he kau tangata kovi ha tokotaha taʻehalaia ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona, pea ʻi hono mohenga! ʻIkai eni te u ʻeke ʻa hono toto mei homo nima, pea ʻave ʻakimoua mei he funga kelekele.”
12 Na whakahaua ana nga taitamariki e Rawiri, a patua ana raua e ratou, tapahia ana hoki o raua ringa me o raua waewae, whakairihia ake ki runga i te poka wai i Heperona. Ko te upoko ia o Ihipohete i tangohia, i tanumia ki te tanumanga o Apanere ki Heperona.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Tevita ki heʻene kau talavou, pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻakinaua, pea naʻe tutuʻu hona nima, pea mo hona vaʻe pea naʻe tautau ai ʻi he funga anovai ʻi Hepeloni. Ka naʻa nau ʻave ʻae ʻulu ʻo Isiposeti, ʻo tanu ia ʻi he faʻitoka ʻo ʻApina ʻi Hepeloni.
