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 did all Israel gather themselves unto David unto Hebron, saying Behold, thy bone and thy flesh are we.
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.’”
Already yesterday and even before, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that led out and brought in Israel; and the Lord, thy God, said unto thee, Thou shalt indeed feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be truly a chief 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.
Thus came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they anointed David as king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord through means of 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; and there were the Jebusites, 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 in hither. Nevertheless David captured the strong-hold of Zion, the same 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 doth smite the Jebusites at first shall be head and chief. Then did Joab the son of Zeruyah go up at first, and became head-man.
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 the Millo as far as the surrounding district, 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.
And David want on, and became greater and greater, and the lord 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 principals of the mighty men whom David had, who held firmly with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord 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: Jashoh'am, the son of Chachmoni, the chief of the captains, who lifted up his spear against three hundred slain 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 El'asar the son of Dodo, the Achochite, who was one of the three mighty men.
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 Pass-dammim, and the Philistines were gathered together there to battle, and there was a piece of ground full of barley; and the people had 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 placed themselves in the midst of that piece [of ground], and they delivered it, and smote the Philistines: and the Lord helped [them] with a great victory.
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.
And these three, the chiefs of the thirty, went down to the rock to David, to the cave of 'Adullam; and the camp of the Philistines was pitched 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 strong-hold, and an outpost of the Philistines was then at Beth-lechem.
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 some one would bring me water to drink out of the well of Beth-lechem, which is by 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 broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lechem, which was by the gate, and carried it, and brought it to David; but David would not drink thereof, and poured it out unto the Lord.
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 he said, Far be it from me, before my God, that I should do this: shall I drink the blood of these men that went at the risk of their lives? for at the risk of their lives did they bring it; and thus he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
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 Abshai the brother of Joab was the chief of these three; and he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain, 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 honored than the two, wherefore he became their captain; he nevertheless attained not unto the three [in prowess].
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.
Banayah the son of Jehoyada', the son of a valiant man, great in many acts, of Kah-zeel: he it was that smote the two lion-like heroes of Moab; he also went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a day when it snowed.
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 smote 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 he snatched 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 Benayah the son of Jehoyada'; and he had a name among the mighty men.
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 indeed more honored than the thirty; but he attained not to the first three. And David appointed him over his private council.
