1 Meʻa Hokohoko 20
1 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hili ange ʻae taʻu ʻe taha, ʻi he faʻahitaʻu ʻaia ʻoku faʻa ʻalu atu ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻi [ke fai ʻae tau], naʻe tataki atu ʻe Soape ʻae mālohi ʻoe kautau, pea naʻa ne fakalala ʻae fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea naʻa ne hoko atu ʻo kāpui ʻa Lapa ʻaki ʻae tau. Ka naʻe nofo pe ʻa Tevita ʻi Selūsalema. Pea naʻe kapa ʻa Lapa ʻe Soape, mo ne fakaʻauha ia.
Ie nibalike ty taoñe, an-tsa-piavota’ o mpanjakao hialy, le nampionjone’ Ioabe ty haozara’ o lahindefoñeo naho nampangoakoaheñe ty tane’ o ana’ i Amoneo, le nimb’e Rabà mb’eo niarikatok’ aze. Mbe nihenekeneke e Ierosalaime añe t’i Davide, le Ioabe ty namofoke i Rabà vaho nandrotsak’ aze.
2 Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Tevita ʻae tatā fakatuʻi mei he ʻulu ʻo honau tuʻi, pea ko hono mamafa ko e taleniti koula ʻe taha, pea naʻe fonofono ki ai ʻae ngaahi maka mahuʻinga; pea naʻe ʻai ia ki he fofonga ʻo Tevita: pea naʻa ne fetuku foki mei he kolo ʻae koloa lahi ʻaupito.
Rinambe’ i Davide añ’ambone’ i mpanjaka’ iareoy ty sabaka’e le nizoe’e t’ie nilanja talentam-bolamena raike reketse vatosoa, le naombe ami’ ty añambone’ i Davide vaho nakare’e ty nikopaheñe amy rovay, toe tsifotofoto.
3 Pea naʻa ne ʻomi kituaʻā ʻae kakai naʻe nofo ʻi ai, mo ne kilisi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae kili, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa keli ukamea, pea mo e ngaahi toki. Naʻe fai pehē ʻe Tevita ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, Pea naʻe foki mai ʻa Tevita pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ki Selūsalema.
Nendese’e boak’ ao ondatio le nampitromahe’e an-dasý naho lasarì-vý vaho fekoñe. Ie ty nanoe’ i Davide amo fonga rova’ o ana’ i Amoneo. Le hene nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime mb’ eo t’i Davide naho o’ ondatio.
4 Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻi Kesa mo e kakai Filisitia; pea ko e kuonga ia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻa Sipei ʻe Sipikei ko e tangata Husa, ko e taha ʻi he fānau ʻoe tangata sino lahi ʻaupito: pea naʻe ikuna ʻakinautolu.
Ie añe, le nifandrapake ty aly amo nte-Pelistio e Gezere ao, naho zinevo’ i Sibekay nte-Kosate henane zay t’i Sipay, ana’ o joalalahio; le nampiambanèñe iereo.
5 Pea naʻe toe fai ʻae tau mo e kakai Filisitia: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Elihanani ko e foha ʻo Saele ʻo Laami ko e tehina ʻo Kolaia ko e tangata Kati, ʻaia naʻe tatau hono foʻi tao mo e ʻakau lalanga ʻoe tangata lalanga tupenu.
Nipoake indraike ty aly amo nte-Pelistio; Le zinevo’ i Elkanane ana’ Iaire, t’i Lakmý rahalahi’ i Goliate nte Gite, i taran-defo’ey nanahake ty bodam-panenoñe.
6 Pea naʻe toe fai foki ʻae tau ʻi Kati, pea naʻe ʻi ai ha tangata fuʻu lahi ʻaupito, ʻaia naʻe uofulu ma fā ʻa hono kupuʻi nima mo hono kupuʻi vaʻe, ko e taki ono ʻi he nima, mo e taki ono ʻi he vaʻe: pea ko e foha foki ia ʻoe tangata sino lahi ʻaupito.
Ie nipoak’aly indraike e Gate ao, le teo t’indaty nijoala, ty fitonto’ o rambom-pità’e naho rambom-pandia’eo le roapolo-efats’amby, ki-ene-ki-eneñe; ie nitariran-joalalàhy ka.
7 Ka ʻi heʻene polepole tau ki ʻIsileli naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Simia ko e tokoua ʻo Tevita.
Ie nisigihe’e t’Israele, le vinono’ Ionatane ana’ i Simeà rahalahi’ i Davide.
8 Naʻe fanauʻi ʻakinautolu ni ki he fuʻu tangata lahi ʻaupito ʻi Kati; pea naʻa nau tō ʻo mate ʻi he nima ʻo Tevita pea ʻi he nima ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
Songa tarira’ ty joalalahy e Gate ao; sindre nizevoñem-pità’ i Davide naho ty fità’ o mpitoro’eo.
