1 Meʻa Hokohoko 14
1 Ka ko eni, naʻe kouna atu ʻe Helami ko e tuʻi ʻo Taia ʻae kau talafekau kia Tevita, ke [ʻave ]ʻae ngaahi taʻanga sita, mo e kau tufunga maka, mo e kau tufunga ʻakau, ke langa ha fale moʻona.
Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
2 Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe Tevita kuo fakapapau meia Sihova ke tuʻi ia ki ʻIsileli, he naʻe hakeakiʻi ke māʻolunga ʻa hono puleʻanga, koeʻuhi ko ʻene kakai ʻIsileli.
David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, for his people Israel’s sake.
3 Pea naʻe toe fakatokolahi ʻe Tevita ʻa hono ngaahi uaifi ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻe toe tupu ʻia Tevita ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine kehe.
David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 Ko eni ia ʻae hingoa ʻoe fānau naʻa ne maʻu ʻi Selūsalema: ko Samua, mo Sopapi, mo Natani, mo Solomone,
These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 Mo Ipia, mo ʻIlisua, mo Ilifileti,
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 Mo Noka, mo Nefeki, mo Safia,
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 Mo ʻIlisama, mo Peliata, mo Ilifileti.
Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe he kakai Filisitia kuo fakanofo ʻa Tevita ko e tuʻi ki ʻIsileli kātoa, naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kakai Filisitia kotoa pē ke kumi kia Tevita. Pea naʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa Tevita, pea naʻa ne ʻalu atu ke talia ʻakinautolu.
When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Filisitia mo nau fakamafola atu ʻakinautolu ʻi he potu talalo ʻo Lifemi.
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
10 Pea naʻe fakafehuʻi ʻe Tevita ki he ʻOtua, ʻo ne pehē, “Te u ʻalu hake ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia? Pea te ke tuku mai ʻakinautolu ki hoku nima?” Pea naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe Sihova, “Ke ke ʻalu hake; he te u tukuange ʻakinautolu ki ho nima.”
David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” Yahweh said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”
11 Ko ia naʻa nau hoko hake ki Peali-Pilasimi; pea naʻe teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻi ai ʻe Tevita. Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Tevita, “Kuo pā atu ʻae ʻOtua ki hoku ngaahi fili ʻaki ʻa hoku nima ʻo hangē ko e pā atu ha ngaahi vai: ko ia naʻe ui ai ʻae potu ko ia ko Peali-Pilasimi.”
So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like waters breaking out. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
12 Pea ʻi heʻenau tuku ʻa honau ngaahi tamapua ʻi ai, naʻe fekau ʻe Tevita, pea naʻe tutu ʻakinautolu ʻi he afi.
They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burned with fire.
13 Pea naʻe toe [haʻu ]ʻae kakai Filisitia ʻo fakamafola atu ʻakinautolu ʻi he potu talalo.
The Philistines made another raid in the valley.
14 Ko ia naʻe toe fehuʻi ai ʻe Tevita ki he ʻOtua; pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa ke ʻalu hake kiate kinautolu; foki atu meiate kinautolu, pea hoko mai kiate kinautolu ʻi he potu ʻoku feʻunga tonu mo e vaoʻakau molipeli.
David inquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite the mulberry trees.
15 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka ke ka ongoʻi ʻae mumuhu ʻi he ʻuluʻi ʻakau molipeli, te ke toki ʻalu atu ki he tau: koeʻuhi kuo muʻomuʻa atu ʻiate koe ʻae ʻOtua ke ne teʻia ʻae tau ʻae kakai Filisitia.”
When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
16 Ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau kiate ia ʻe he ʻOtua: pea naʻa nau teʻia ʻae kautau ʻoe kakai Filisitia mei Kipione ʻo aʻu atu ki Kesa.
David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
17 Pea naʻe mafola atu ʻae ongoongo ʻo Tevita ki he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē; pea naʻe fakahoko ʻe Sihova ʻae manavahē kiate ia ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.
