1 Ko kinautolu eni naʻe haʻu kia Tevita ki Sikilaki lolotonga ʻa ʻene kei fakafufū ia koeʻuhi ko Saula ko e foha ʻo Kisi: pea naʻa nau kau mo e kau tangata toʻa, ko e kau tokoni ʻi he tau.

Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he kept still close because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men who helped him in the conflict;

2 Ko honau mahafutau ʻae kaufana, pea naʻa nau faʻa ngāueʻaki honau nima toʻomataʻu mo honau toʻohema ʻi he lī ʻae maka mo e fanaʻi ʻae ngahau mei he kaufana, pea naʻa nau ʻoe kāinga ʻo Saula ʻia Penisimani.

And of the Gadites, there separated themselves to David in the stronghold in the wilderness mighty men of valour, men fit for the service of war, armed with shield and spear; whose faces were [like] the faces of lions, and who were swift as the gazelles upon the mountains:

9 Ko e ʻuluaki ʻa Eseli, ko hono toko ua ʻa ʻOpataia, ko hono toko tolu ʻa ʻIliapi,

14 Ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo Kata, naʻe ʻeiki pule ki he kautau: ko ia naʻe siʻi hifo ʻiate kinautolu naʻe pule ki he toko teau, pea ko ia naʻe lahi hake naʻe pule ki he toko afe.

These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over a hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.

15 Ko kinautolu eni naʻe ʻalu atu ʻi he Soatani ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina, lolotonga ʻa ʻene malofa atu ʻae vai ki hono kau vai kotoa pē; pea naʻa nau tuli ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi teleʻa, ki he feituʻu hahake, pea ki he lulunga.

These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it overflows all its banks, and they put to flight all [them] of the valleys, toward the east and toward the west.

16 Pea naʻe haʻu foki ha niʻihi mei he fānau ʻa Penisimani mo Siuta ki he kolo mālohi kia Tevita.

And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the stronghold to David.

17 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Tevita ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa ne lea ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kapau kuo mou omi fakamelino pe kiate au ke tokoni kiate au, ʻe kautaha ʻa hoku loto mo kimoutolu: ka ko eni, kapau kuo mou haʻu ke lavakiʻi au ki hoku ngaahi fili, ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fai fakamālohi ʻi hoku nima, ke ʻafioʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe tau ngaahi tamai, pea ne valoki ia.”

And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, If ye come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit unto you; but if to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers see [it] and rebuke [it].

18 Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae Laumālie kia ʻAmasai ʻaia naʻe ʻeiki hake ʻi he ngaahi ʻeikitau, [pea naʻa ne pehē], “ʻOku ʻoʻou [ʻakimautolu], ʻe Tevita, pea ʻoku [mau ]kau kiate koe, ʻa koe ko e foha ʻo Sese: ke melino, ke melino pe koe, pea ke melino ʻakinautolu ʻoku tokoni kiate koe; he ʻoku tokoni ʻe ho ʻOtua kiate koe. Pea naʻe toki maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻe Tevita, pea naʻa ne fakanofo ʻakinautolu ko e ngaahi ʻeikitau ki he kongakau.

And the Spirit came upon Amasai, the chief of the captains, [and he said, ] Thine [are we], David, And with thee, thou son of Jesse: Peace, peace be to thee! And peace be to thy helpers! For thy God helps thee. And David received them, and made them chiefs of bands.

19 Pea naʻe tō mai kia Tevita ha niʻihi meia Manase, ʻi heʻene omi fakataha mo e kakai Filisitia ke tauʻi ʻa Saula: ka naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻekinautolu ʻenau tokoni: he naʻe loto ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kau Filisitia ke ne ʻalu, ʻonau pehē, “ʻE kau atu ia ki heʻene ʻeiki ko Saula, pea [ʻe tuʻutāmaki ai ]ʻa hotau ʻulu ʻotautolu.”

And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not; for the lords of the Philistines upon deliberation sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul at the peril of our heads.

20 Lolotonga ʻa ʻene ʻalu ki Sikilaki, naʻe hoko mai kiate ia meia Manase, ʻa ʻAtina, mo Sosapati, mo Sitieli, mo Mikaeli, mo Sosapati, mo Ilihu, mo Silitei, ko e ngaahi ʻeiki pule [ʻakinautolu ]ki he ngaahi toko afe ʻo Manase.

As he went away to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh: Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh.

21 Pea naʻa nau tokoni ʻa Tevita ʻaki ha kautau: he ko e kau tangata toʻa lahi ʻaupito ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, pea ko e ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻakinautolu ʻi he kautau.

And they helped David in his expeditions; for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.

22 He ko e kuonga ko ia naʻe haʻu ai [ʻae kakai ]kia Tevita ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ke tokoni kiate ia, pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ʻo fuʻu tokolahi ʻa ʻene kautau, ʻo hangē ko e kautau ʻoe ʻOtua.

For day by day there came [men] to David to help him, until it was a great camp, like the camp of God.

23 Pea ko hono lau eni ʻoe ngaahi kongakau naʻe tali teuteu ki he tau, mo nau omi kia Tevita ʻi Hepeloni, ke liliu ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Saula kiate ia, ʻo tatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova.

And this is the number of the men equipped for military service, who came to David to Hebron, to transfer the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of Jehovah.

24 Ko e fānau ʻa Siuta naʻe fua ʻae pā mo e tao ko e toko ono afe mo e valungeau, naʻe tali teuteu ki he tau.

The children of Judah that bore shield and spear were six thousand eight hundred, equipped for military service.

and Zadok, a valiant young man, and his father's house two and twenty chief men.

29 Pea ʻoe fānau ʻa Penisimani, ko e kāinga ʻo Saula, ko e toko tolu afe: he naʻe fai ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ko ia ʻe honau tokolahi, ʻae tauhi ʻi he fale ʻo Saula.

And of the children of Benjamin, the brethren of Saul, three thousand; but hitherto the greater part of them had adhered to the house of Saul.

30 Pea ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi ko e toko ua mano mo e valungeau, ko e kau tangata mālohi mo toʻa, ko e kau ongoongo ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.

And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valour, men of name in their fathers' houses.

31 Pea mei hono vahe ua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase [naʻe haʻu ]ʻae tokotaha mano mo e valungeau, ʻaia naʻe lau honau hingoa, ke haʻu ʻo fakanofo ʻa Tevita ke tuʻi.

And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were expressed by name, to come and make David king.

And of the children of Issachar, who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their bidding.

33 ‌ʻOe fānau ʻa Sepuloni, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻalu atu ki he tau, mo poto ʻi he tau, ʻi he ngaahi mahafutau kotoa pē, ko e toko nima mano, ʻaia naʻe faʻa tutuʻu fakataha lelei ʻi he tau: naʻe ʻikai te nau lotolotoua.

Of Zebulun, such as went forth in the host, armed for war with all weapons of war, fifty thousand, keeping rank without double heart.

And from the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of weapons of war for battle, a hundred and twenty thousand.

38 Ko e kau tangata faʻa tau eni kotoa pē, naʻe faʻa tutuʻu lelei, pea naʻa nau omi kia Tevita ʻi he loto moʻoni ki Hepeloni, ke fakanofo ʻa Tevita ke tuʻi ki ʻIsileli kātoa: pea ko hono toe foki [ʻoe kakai ]ʻi ʻIsileli naʻe loto taha pe ke fakanofo ʻa Tevita ke tuʻi.

All of them men of war, keeping rank in battle array, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.

39 Pea naʻa nau ʻi ai mo Tevita ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, pea naʻa nau kai mo inu: he naʻe fai ʻa honau tali ʻe honau ngaahi kāinga.

And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brethren had prepared for them;

40 Pea ʻilonga ʻae kakai naʻe vāofi mo kinautolu, kia ʻIsaka, mo Sepuloni, mo Nafitali, naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae mā kuo fakaheka ki he fanga ʻasi, pea ki he fanga kāmeli, pea ki he fanga miuli, pea ki he fanga pulu, pea [naʻe ʻomi ]mo e mangisi, ko e mahoaʻa, mo e ngaahi fiki fakamōmoa, mo e ngaahi fuhinga kālepi, mo e uaine, mo e lolo, mo e fanga pulu, mo e fanga sipi lahi ʻaupito: he naʻe lahi ʻae fakafiefia ʻi ʻIsileli.
