< 1 Tuʻi 2 >

1 Pea ko eni naʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Tevita ke ne pekia ai; pea naʻa ne tukutala kia Solomone ko hono ʻAlo, ʻo pehē,
Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,
2 “ʻOku ou ʻalu au ʻi he hala ʻo māmani kotoa pē: ko ia ke ke mālohi koe, pea ke fai ʻo ngalingali tangata:
I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;
3 Pea ke tauhi ki he fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke ʻeveʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi hala, pea ke fai ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻene ngaahi fekau, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, mo ʻene fakamoʻoni kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese, koeʻuhi ke ke monūʻia ai ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke fai, pea ʻi he potu fulipē te ke ʻalu ki ai:
And keep the charge of YHWH thy Elohim, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:
4 Koeʻuhi ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene folofola ʻaia naʻa ne lea ʻaki koeʻuhi ko au, ʻo pehē, ‘Kapau ʻe tokanga ʻe hoʻo fānau ki honau hala, ke ʻaʻeva ʻi hoku ʻao ʻi he moʻoni ʻaki ʻa honau loto kotoa mo honau laumālie kotoa, (naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, ) ʻe ʻikai te ke masiva tangata koe ke nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.’
That YHWH may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.
5 Pea ʻoku ke ʻilo foki, ʻaia naʻe fai kiate au ʻe Soape ko e tama ʻa Seluia, mo ia naʻa ne fai ki he ongo ʻeiki ʻe toko ua ʻoe kautau ʻo ʻIsileli, kia ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea, pea kia ʻAmasa ko e foha ʻo Seteli, ʻaia naʻa ne tāmateʻi, ʻo ne lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe tau lolotonga ʻae melino, ʻo ne unu ʻi he toto ʻoe tau ʻa hono nonoʻo naʻe noʻotaki ʻaki hono kongaloto, pea mo ʻene topuvaʻe ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono vaʻe.
Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
6 Ko ia fai ʻo fakatatau mo hoʻo poto, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke ʻalu hifo ʻa hono ʻuluhinā, ki he faʻitoka ʻi he melino. (Sheol h7585)
Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ka ke fakahā ʻae ʻofa ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Pasilai ko e tangata Kiliati, pea tuku ke nau ʻiate kinautolu ʻe kai mei hoʻo keinangaʻanga: he naʻa nau fai pehē kiate au ʻi heʻeku hola koeʻuhi ko ʻApisalomi ko ho taʻokete.
But shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.
8 Pea vakai, “ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻa Simi ko e foha ʻo Kela, ko e tangata Penisimani mei Pahulimi, ʻaia naʻe kape kiate au ʻi he kape lahi ʻi he ʻaho ʻaia naʻaku ʻalu ai ki Mehanemi: ka naʻa ne ʻohifo kiate au ke ma fetaulaki ki Sioatani, pea naʻaku fuakava kiate ia ʻia Sihova, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te u tāmateʻi koe ʻaki ʻae heletā.’
And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by YHWH, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
9 Ka ko eni, ʻoua naʻa ke lau ia ko e taʻehalaia: he ko e tangata poto koe, pea ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻae meʻa ʻoku totonu ke ke fai kiate ia; ka ke ʻohifo ʻe koe ʻa hono ʻuluhinā ki he faʻitoka mo e toto.” (Sheol h7585)
Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood. (Sheol h7585)
10 Pea pehē, naʻe mohe ʻa Tevita mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai ʻene putu ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita.
So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
11 Pea ko e kuonga naʻe pule ai ʻa Tevita ki ʻIsileli ko e taʻu ʻe fāngofulu: ko e taʻu ʻe fitu naʻa ne pule ai ʻi Hepeloni, pea ko e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma tolu naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema.
And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
12 Pea naʻe toki nofo ʻa Solomone ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻene tamai ko Tevita pea naʻe fakatuʻumaʻu ʻaupito ʻa hono puleʻanga.
Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
13 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻAtunaisa ko e tama ʻa Hakiti kia Patisepa, ko e faʻē ʻa Solomone. Pea naʻa ne pehē mai ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku ke haʻu fakamelino pe?” Pea naʻe pehē atu ʻe ia, “Ko e melino pe.”
And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
14 Naʻa ne pehē foki ʻe ia, “ʻOku ai ha meʻa ʻoku ou fie lea ai kiate koe.” Pea naʻa ne pehē atu, “Ke ke lea pe.”
He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.
15 Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo naʻe ʻoʻoku ʻae puleʻanga, pea naʻe hanga mai kiate au ʻae mata kotoa pē ʻi ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke u hoko ʻo pule: ka ko eni kuo liliu ʻae puleʻanga, pea kuo hoko ia ki hoku tokoua: he naʻe ʻoʻona ia meia Sihova.
And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from YHWH.
16 Pea ko eni ko e meʻa pe taha ʻoku ou kole meiate koe, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakaʻikai mai.” Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ke ke lea pe.”
And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.
17 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke lea kia Solomone ko e tuʻi (he koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻikai mai kiate koe, ) ke ne foaki mai ʻa ʻApisaki ko e fefine Sunemi ke ma mali.”
And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay, ) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
18 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Patisepa, “ʻOku lelei te u lea maʻau ki he tuʻi.”
And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.
19 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Patisepa ki he tuʻi ko Solomone ke lea kiate ia maʻa ʻAtunaisa. “Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi ke fetaulaki kiate ia, pea naʻa ne punou kiate ia, mo ne nofo hifo ki hono nofoʻanga fakatuʻi, pea naʻa ne fekau ke te u ha nofoʻa maʻae faʻē ʻae tuʻi; pea naʻe nofo ia ki hono nima toʻomataʻu.
Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.
20 Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole meiate koe ʻae meʻa siʻi pe taha; ʻoua naʻa ke pehē mai ʻikai.” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ke ke fai pe hoʻo kole, ʻa ʻeku faʻē: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u pehē atu ʻikai.”
Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.
21 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Tuku ke ʻatu ʻa ʻApisaki ko e fefine Sunemi kia ʻAtunaisa koho tokoua ke na mali.”
And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
22 Pea naʻe talaange ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone ki heʻene faʻē, ʻo pehē, “Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke kole ai ʻa ʻApisaki ko e fefine Sunemi maʻa ʻAtunaisa? Kole foki maʻana ʻae puleʻanga; he ko hoku taʻokete ia; ʻio, maʻana, pea mo ʻApaiata ko e taulaʻeiki, pea maʻa Soape ko e tama ʻa Seluia.”
And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
23 Pea naʻe toki fuakava ai ʻa Solomone ʻia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Ke fai pehē kiate au ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo lahi hake foki, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai mate ʻa ʻAtunaisa koeʻuhi ko ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni.
Then king Solomon sware by YHWH, saying, Elohim do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.
24 Pea ko ia, ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ne fakamālohiʻi au, ʻo ne hiki hake au ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻeku tamai ko Tevita, pea kuo ne fokotuʻu ha fale moʻoku, ʻo hangē ko ʻene talaʻofa, pea ʻe mate tāmateʻi ʻa ʻAtunaisa he ʻaho ni.”
Now therefore, as YHWH liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
25 Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata; pea naʻa ne hoko atu kiate ia pea naʻa ne mate ai.
And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.
26 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia ʻApaiata ko e taulaʻeiki, “ʻAlu ko e ki ʻAnatoti, ki ho potu fonua ʻoʻou; he ʻoku totonu ke ke mate koe; ka ʻe ʻikai te u tāmateʻi koe ʻi he kuonga ni, koeʻuhi naʻa ke fua ʻae puha tapu ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, pea koeʻuhi naʻa ke mamahi koe ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe mamahi ai ʻa ʻeku tamai.”
And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Soveriegn YHWH before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
27 Ko ia naʻe kapusi ai ʻa ʻApaiata ʻe Solomone mei heʻene [ngāue ]fakataulaʻeiki kia Sihova; koeʻuhi ke ne fakamoʻoni ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ki he fale ʻo Ilai ʻi Sailo.
So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto YHWH; that he might fulfil the word of YHWH, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
28 Pea naʻe toki ʻomi ʻa hono ongoongo kia Soape: he naʻe liliu ʻa Soape ke muimui kia ʻAtunaisa, ka naʻe ʻikai muimui ia kia ʻApisalomi. Pea naʻe hola ʻa Soape ki he fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne puke atu ki he nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.
Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of YHWH, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
29 Pea naʻe fakahā ia ki he tuʻi ko Solomone ʻo pehē, kuo hola ʻa Soape ki he fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova; pea vakai, kuo ofi atu ia ki he feilaulauʻanga. Pea naʻe toki fekauʻi ʻe Solomone ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAlu, ʻo taaʻi ia,”
And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of YHWH; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
30 Pea naʻe hoko atu ʻa Penaia ki he fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe he tuʻi, Ke ke tuʻu mai.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE ʻikai; ka te u mate pe ʻi heni.” Pea naʻe toe ʻomi hono tala ʻe Penaia ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe pehē ʻae lea ʻa Soape, pea naʻe pehē ni ʻa ʻene talia au.”
And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of YHWH, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
31 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ke ke fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene lau, pea ke taaʻi ia, mo tanu; koeʻuhi ke ke ʻave ai ʻae toto taʻehalaia ʻaia naʻe lilingi ʻe Soape, meiate au, pea mei he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai.
And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.
32 Pea ʻe tuku ʻe Sihova ʻa hono toto ki hono ʻulu ʻoʻona, ʻaia naʻe teʻia ʻae ongo tangata naʻe māʻoniʻoni mo lelei hake ʻiate ia, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻakinaua ʻaki ʻae heletā, ka naʻe taʻeʻilo ki ai ʻa ʻeku tamai ko Tevita; ʻio, ʻa ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea, ko e ʻeiki pule ki he kautau ʻo ʻIsileli, mo ʻAmasa, ko e foha ʻo Seteli, ko e ʻeiki pule ki he kautau ʻo Siuta.
And YHWH shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
33 Ko ia ʻe foki atu ai ʻa hona toto ki he ʻulu ʻo Soape, pea ki he ʻulu ʻo hono hako ʻo taʻengata: ka ko Tevita, pea ki hono hako ʻoʻona, pea ki hono fale, pea ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, ʻe ʻi ai ʻae melino meia Sihova, ʻo taʻengata.”
Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from YHWH.
34 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, pea naʻa ne hoko atu kiate ia, mo ne tāmateʻi ia: pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona ʻi he toafa.
So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
35 Pea naʻe tuku ʻe he tuʻi ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata ke fetongi ia ʻi he pule ki he kautau: pea naʻe tuku ʻe he tuʻi ʻa Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki ke ne fetongi ʻa ʻApaiata.
And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.
36 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ne ui mai ʻa Simi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Langa ʻe koe moʻou ha fale ʻi Selūsalema, pea nofo ai, pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu atu mei ai ki ha potu kehe.
And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.
37 He ko e moʻoni, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te ke ʻalu atu, mo ke Lakaatu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Kitiloni, ke ke ʻilo fakapapau te ke mate moʻoni ai: ʻe ʻi ho ʻulu ʻoʻou pe ho toto.”
For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
38 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Simi ki he tuʻi, “ʻOku lelei ʻae lea ko eni: ʻo hangē ko ia kuo lea ʻaki ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻe pehē ʻae fai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.” Pea naʻe nofo fuoloa ʻa Simi ʻi Selūsalema.
And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my master the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
39 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻosi ʻae taʻu ʻe tolu naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe hola ʻae ongo tamaioʻeiki ʻa Simi kia ʻAkisi ko e foha ʻo Meaka ko e tuʻi ʻo Kati. Pea naʻa nau fakahā ange kia Simi, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, kuo ʻi Kati ʻa hoʻo ongo tamaioʻeiki.”
And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath.
40 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Simi, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae hekaʻanga ki heʻene ʻasi, pea ʻalu ia ki Kati kia ʻAkisi ke kumi ki heʻene ongo tamaioʻeiki: pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Simi, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa ʻene ongo tamaioʻeiki mei Kati.
And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
41 Pea naʻe fakahā kia Solomone, kuo ʻalu ʻa Simi mei Selūsalema ki Kati, pea kuo toe liu mai.
And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.
42 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ne ui mai ʻa Simi, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻIkai naʻaku fekauʻi koe ke ke fuakava ʻia Sihova, pea u lea mamafa kiate koe, ʻo pehē, Ke ke ʻilo fakapapau, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te ke ʻalu atu, mo ʻeveʻeva mamaʻo ki ha potu, ke ke mate moʻoni ai? Pea naʻa ke pehē mai kiate au, ‘ʻOku lelei ʻae lea kuo u fanongo ki ai.’
And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by YHWH, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any wither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good.
43 Ko ia ko e hā kuo ʻikai ai te ke fai ki he fuakava ʻa Sihova, mo e fekau ʻaia kuo u tukupau kiate koe?
Why then hast thou not kept the oath of YHWH, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?
44 Naʻe pehē foki ʻe he tuʻi kia Simi, ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae kovi kotoa pē kuo fufū ʻi ho loto, ʻaia naʻa ke fai kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai: ko ia foki ʻe fakafoki ai ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo kovi ki ho ʻulu ʻoʻou;
The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore YHWH shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;
45 Pea ʻe fakamonūʻia ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone, pea ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo Tevita ʻo taʻengata.”
And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before YHWH for ever.
46 Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi kia Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata; pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia, pea naʻa ne taaʻi ia ke ne mate. Pea naʻe fakamālohi ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he nima ʻo Solomone.
So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
