1 Meʻa Hokohoko 11
1 Hili ia naʻe fakataha ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa kia Tevita ki Hepeloni, mo nau pehē, “Vakai, ko ho hui ʻoʻou ʻakimautolu mo ho kakano ʻoʻou.
Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
2 Kaeʻumaʻā foki ʻae ngaahi ʻaho kuo hili ange, ʻio, lolotonga ʻae kei tuʻi ʻa Saula, ko koe ia naʻe taki atu mo toe ʻomi ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻe pehē kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ‘Te ke fafanga ʻe koe ʻa hoku kakai ʻIsileli, pea te ke pule ʻe koe ki hoku kakai ʻIsileli.’”
And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and YHWH thy Elohim said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.
3 Ko ia naʻe fakataha ai ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ki he tuʻi ki Hepeloni; pea naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ha fuakava mo kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi Hepeloni, pea naʻa nau pani ʻa Tevita ʻaki ʻae lolo ke ne tuʻi ki ʻIsileli, ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻia Samuela.
Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before YHWH; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of YHWH by Samuel.
4 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Tevita mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki Selūsalema, ʻa ia [ʻoku ui ]ko Sepusi; ko e potu naʻe nofo ai ʻae kakai Sepusi, ko e kakai ʻoe fonua.
And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai ʻo Sepusi kia Tevita, “ʻE ʻikai te ke hoko mai ki heni.” Ka neongo ia naʻe kapasia ʻe Tevita ʻae kolotau ʻo Saione, ʻa ia [ʻoku ui ]ko e “Kolo ʻo Tevita.”
And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.
6 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “Ko ia ʻe tomuʻa teʻia ʻae kakai Sepusi, ʻe hoko ia ko e tuʻukimuʻa mo e ʻeiki pule.” Pea pehē, naʻe tomuʻa hoko hake ʻa Soape ko e tama ʻo Seluia, pea naʻe hoko ai ia ko e ʻeiki pule.
And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.
7 Pea naʻe nofo ʻa Tevita ki he kolotau; pea ko ia naʻe ui ai ia ko e Kolo ʻo Tevita.
And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.
8 Pea naʻa ne langa hake ʻae kolo ʻo takatakai hake, ʻio, mei Milo ʻo tākai hake: pea naʻe toe langa foʻou ʻe Soape ʻa hono toe ʻoe kolo.
And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9 Naʻe pehē ʻae fakaʻaʻau ʻa Tevita ke lahi mo lahi hake ʻaupito: he naʻe kau kiate ia ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
So David waxed greater and greater: for YHWH of hosts was with him.
10 Ko kinautolu eni foki ʻae kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he kau tangata mālohi lahi ʻaia naʻe maʻu ʻe Tevita, ʻakinautolu naʻe kau mālohi mo ia ʻi hono puleʻanga, pea mo ʻIsileli kātoa, koeʻuhi ke ne hoko ko e tuʻi, ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe kau ki ʻIsileli.
These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of YHWH concerning Israel.
11 Pea ko eni ʻa hono lau hake ʻoe kau tangata mālohi lahi naʻe maʻu ʻe Tevita: ko Sasopiami ko e tangata ʻAkimoni, ko e tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻeikitau: naʻa ne hiki hake ia ʻa hono tao ke tauʻi ʻae “Toko Tolungeau” naʻe tāmate ʻe ia ʻi he ʻaho pe taha.
And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, and Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time.
12 Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa ʻEliesa ko e foha ʻo Toto, ko e tangata ʻAhoi, ʻaia ko e taha ia ʻi he “Toko Tolu” naʻe mālohi lahi.
And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.
13 Naʻe ʻia Tevita ia ʻi Pasi-Tamemi, pea naʻe fakataha ʻi ai ʻae kakai Filisitia ki he tau, pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae potu ngoue naʻe fonu ʻi he paʻale; pea naʻe feholaki ʻae kakai mei he ʻao ʻoe kau Filisitia.
He was with David at Pas-dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
14 Pea naʻa nau malumu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe potu fonua ko ia, mo nau fakahaofi ia, mo tāmateʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia; pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ʻi he fakamoʻui lahi.
And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and YHWH saved them by a great deliverance.
15 Pea ko eni, naʻe ʻalu hifo ki he maka kia Tevita ʻi he ʻanaʻi maka ko ʻAtulami ʻae toko tolu ʻoe ngaahi ʻeikitau ʻe toko tolungofulu; ka naʻe nofo ʻae kautau ʻoe kakai Filisitia ki he potu talalo ʻo Lefeimi.
Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
16 Pea ko e kuonga ia naʻe nofo ai ʻa Tevita ki he kolo mālohi, pea ko e kolotau ʻoe kakai Filisitia naʻe ʻi Petelihema ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.
17 Pea naʻe holi feinga pe ʻa Tevita, ʻo ne pehē, “Taumaiā ke ʻomi ʻe ha tokotaha kiate au haʻaku inu mei he vai ʻoe vaikeli ʻi Petelihema, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he veʻematapā!”
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!
18 Pea naʻe ʻasi atu ʻe he toko tolu ko ia ʻi he kautau ʻoe kakai Filisitia, mo nau ʻutu hake ʻae vai mei he vaikeli ʻo Petelihema, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he veʻematapā, pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻo ʻomi ia kia Tevita: ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi inu ia ʻe Tevita, ka naʻa ne lilingi atu ia kia Sihova,
And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to YHWH,
19 Pea ne pehē ʻe ia, “Ke taʻofi au ʻe hoku ʻOtua, ke ʻoua naʻaku fai ha meʻa pehē: he te u inu koā ʻae toto ʻoe kau tangata ni, ʻakinautolu kuo fakatuʻutāmaki ʻenau moʻui?” He ko ʻenau moʻui pe naʻe ʻomi ai ia. Ko ia naʻe ʻikai siʻi te ne inu mei ai. Ko e ngaahi meʻa eni naʻe fai ʻekinautolu ni ko e “Toko Tolu” naʻe mālohi lahi hake.
And said, My Elohim forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.
20 Pea ko ʻApisai ko e tokoua ʻo Soape, naʻe ʻeiki hake ia ʻi he “Toko Tolu:” he naʻa ne hiki hake ʻa hono tao ke tauʻi ʻae toko tolungeau, mo ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe lau hono hingoa mo e “Toko Tolu.”
And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three.
21 ʻI he “Toko Tolu,” naʻe ongoongo hake ia ʻi he toko ua; he ko hona ʻeiki ia: ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai ke hoko hake ia ki he [ʻuluaki ]“Toko Tolu.”
Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.
22 Ko Penaia ko e foha ʻa Sihoiata, ko e foha ʻoe tangata toʻa mei Kapisieli, ʻaia naʻe ongoongo ʻa ʻene ngaahi meʻa ne fai; naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻe ia ʻae ongo tangata Moape naʻe anga fakalaione: pea naʻa ne ʻalu hifo ki ha luo ʻo ne tāmate ai ha laione ʻi he ʻaho naʻe tō ai ʻae ʻuha hinehina.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.
23 Pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ha tangata ʻIsipite, ko e tangata naʻe fuʻu sino ʻaupito, ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ʻa hono māʻolunga; pea naʻe toʻo ʻe he tangata ʻIsipite ʻi hono nima ha tao naʻe hangē ko e ʻakau ʻoe tangata lalanga tupenu; pea naʻa ne ʻalu hifo kiate ia mo e tokotoko pe mone hamusi mai ʻae tao mei he nima ʻoe tangata ʻIsipite, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia ʻaki ʻa ʻene tao ʻaʻana.
And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
24 Ko e ngaahi meʻa eni naʻe fai ʻe Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sihoiata, pea naʻe lau hono hingoa fakataha mo e toko tolu mālohi.
These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties.
25 Vakai, naʻe ongoongo ia ʻi he toko tolungofulu, ka naʻe ʻikai hoko hake ia ki he [ʻuluaki ]“Toko Tolu:” pea naʻe tuku ia ʻe Tevita ke pule ki hono kau tangata leʻo.
Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard.
