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 together to David at Hebron, saying, "Look, we are your bone and your 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.’”
In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. The LORD your God said to you, 'You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall rule 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.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD 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.
David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
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.”
The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not come in here." Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, that 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.
David said, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.
7 Pea naʻe nofo ʻa Tevita ki he kolotau; pea ko ia naʻe ui ai ia ko e Kolo ʻo Tevita.
David lived in the stronghold; 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.
He built the city all around, from the Millo even around; 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.
David grew greater and greater; for 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.
Now these are the chief of the warriors whom David had, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together 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.
This is the number of the warriors whom David had: Jeshbaal the son of Hachmoni, leader of the Three. And he wielded his spear against eight hundred and killed them 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.
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the Three warriors.
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 there was a plot 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 he took his stand in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by 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 three of the Thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were camped 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.
David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in 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 had a craving and said, "Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, 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,
The Three broke through the army 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 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 said, "My God forbid it me, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?" For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The Three warriors did these things.
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, was leader of the Thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name beside 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.”
He was the most illustrious of the Thirty, and he became their leader. However, he did not attain to the 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 was a valiant man of Kabzeel, who performed great deeds. He killed the two of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.
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.
He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, seven feet five inches tall; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and grabbed the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed 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.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the Three warriors.
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.
Look, he was more honored than the Thirty, but he did not attain to the Three. And David set him over his guard.
