1 Samuela 16
1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻe Sihova kia Samuela, “ʻE tuku ʻafē ʻa hoʻo tēngihia ʻa Saula; he kuo u liʻaki ia ke ʻoua naʻa pule ia ki ʻIsileli? fakafonu haʻo nifoʻi manu ʻi he lolo, pea ke ʻalu, te u fekau koe kia Sese ko e tangata Petelihema: he kuo u teuteu ha tuʻi mei hono ngaahi foha.
Nake Jehova akĩũria Samũeli atĩrĩ, “Nĩ nginya rĩ ũkũrĩrĩra Saũlũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩmũregete ta mũthamaki wa Isiraeli? Iyũria rũhĩa rwaku maguta, na umagare, ũthiĩ; ndĩragũtũma ũthiĩ kwa Jesii wa itũũra rĩa Bethilehemu. Nĩthuurĩte ũmwe wa ariũ ake atuĩke mũthamaki.”
2 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela, “ʻE fēfē ʻeku faʻa ʻalu? Kapau ʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa Saula te ne tāmateʻi au.” Pea pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “ʻAve ha pulu fefine mo koe, pea ke pehē, kuo u haʻu ke feilaulau kia Sihova.
No Samũeli akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ingĩthiĩ kũu atĩa? Saũlũ nĩarĩigua ũhoro ũcio nake anjũrage.” Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya moori, ũthiĩ nayo na uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Njũkĩte kũrutĩra Jehova igongona.’
3 Pea ke ui ʻa Sese ki he feilaulau, pea te u fakahā kiate koe ʻaia te ke fai: pea ke pani maʻaku ʻaia te u lau kiate koe.”
Na wĩte Jesii oke igongona-inĩ rĩu, na nĩndĩrĩkuonia ũrĩa ũrĩka. Nawe ũitĩrĩrie maguta mũndũ ũrĩa ndĩrĩkuonia.”
4 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Samuela ʻaia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova. Pea naʻe tetetete ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo ʻi heʻene hoko ki ai, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku ke haʻu melino pe?”
Samũeli agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwĩrĩte eeke. Rĩrĩa aakinyire Bethilehemu, athuuri a itũũra makĩmũtũnga makĩinainaga. Makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũũkĩte na thayũ?”
5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou haʻu melino pē: kuo u haʻu ke fai ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova: fakatapui ʻakimoutolu, pea mou haʻu mo au ki he feilaulau.” Pea naʻa ne fakatapui ʻa Sese mo hono ngaahi foha, ʻo ne ui ʻakinautolu ki he feilaulau.
Samũeli akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, njũkĩte na thayũ; njũkĩte kũrutĩra Jehova igongona. Mwĩtheriei, mũũke hamwe na niĩ igongona-inĩ.” Agĩcooka agĩtheria Jesii na ariũ ake, akĩmeeta igongona-inĩ rĩu.
6 Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko mai, naʻe sio ia kia Iliape, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ta ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ni ʻo Sihova ʻaia kuo ne pani.”
Rĩrĩa ariũ a Jesii maakinyire-rĩ, Samũeli akĩona Eliabu, agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ, ũrĩa Jehova aitĩrĩirie maguta arũngiĩ haha mbere ya Jehova.”
7 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Samuela, “ʻOua naʻa ke mamata ki hono mata, pea ki he māʻolunga ʻo hono sino; he kuo u liʻaki ia: he ʻoku ʻikai mamata ʻa Sihova ʻo hangē ko e mamata ʻae tangata; he ʻoku sio ʻae tangata ki he anga ʻoku hā ʻituʻa, ka ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae loto.”
No Jehova akĩĩra Samũeli atĩrĩ, “Tiga kũmũrora gĩthiithi kana ũraihu wake, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩmũregete, tondũ Jehova ndaroraga maũndũ marĩa mũndũ aroraga. Mũndũ wa gũkũ thĩ aroraga mũndũ gĩthiithi, no Jehova aroraga ngoro thĩinĩ.”
8 Hili ia naʻe ui ʻe Sese ke haʻu ʻa ʻApinatapi, ke ne ʻalu ange ʻi he ʻao ʻo Samuela. Pea naʻa ne pehē, ʻOku ʻikai fili ia foki ʻe Sihova.
Ningĩ Jesii agĩĩta Abinadabu akĩmũhĩtũkĩria mbere ya Samũeli. No Samũeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “O na ũyũ tiwe Jehova athuurĩte.”
9 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sese ke ʻalu ange ʻa Sama. Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai fili foki ia ʻe Sihova.”
Ningĩ Jesii akĩhĩtũkithia Shama, no Samũeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “O na ũyũ tiwe Jehova athuurĩte.”
10 Pea naʻe toe fekau ʻe Sese ke ʻalu ange hono foha ʻe toko fitu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Samuela. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela kia Sese, “ʻOku ʻikai fili ʻe Sihova ʻakinautolu.”
Jesii akĩrehe ariũ ake mũgwanja arĩa maahĩtũkĩire harĩ Samũeli, no Samũeli akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova ndathuurĩte aya.”
11 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela kia Sese, “ʻOku ʻi heni hoʻo fānau kotoa pē?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku kei toe ʻae kimui, pea vakai, ʻoku ne tauhi ʻae fanga sipi.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela kia Sese, “Fekau ke ʻomi ia: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te tau nofo ki lalo kaeʻoua ke haʻu ia.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩũria Jesii atĩrĩ, “Ariũ aku othe marĩ haha?” Jesii agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ harĩ ũrĩa mũnini wao; no arĩ rũũru akĩrĩithia ngʼondu.” Samũeli akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũtũmanĩre; tũtingĩikara thĩ atookĩte.”
12 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia, ke ʻomi ia ki loto. Pea naʻe totototo mo e toulekeleka hono mata, ʻo matamatalelei ʻene hā mai. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, “Tuʻu hake, ʻo pani ia; he ko eni ia.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũmana, nake akĩrehwo. Aarĩ mũtune, akaagĩra gĩthiithi na agathakara mũno akĩoneka. Jehova agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra ũmũitĩrĩrie maguta; ũyũ nĩwe.”
13 Pea naʻe toki toʻo ʻe Samuela ʻae nifoʻi manu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae lolo, ʻo ne pani ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono ngaahi kāinga; pea naʻe hoko ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova kia Tevita talu mei he ʻaho ko ia. Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa Samuela ʻo ʻalu ki Lama.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Samũeli akĩoya rũhĩa rwa maguta akĩmũitĩrĩria maguta ariũ a nyina makĩonaga; kuuma mũthenya ũcio Roho wa Jehova agĩũka igũrũ rĩa Daudi na hinya. Nake Samũeli agĩcooka agĩthiĩ Rama.
14 Ka naʻe mahuʻi ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova meia Saula, pea naʻe fakamamahiʻi ia ʻe he laumālie kovi meia Sihova.
Na rĩrĩ, Roho wa Jehova nĩeherete kũrĩ Saũlũ, na roho mũũru uumĩte kũrĩ Jehova nĩwamũnyariiraga.
15 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Saula kiate ia, “Ko eni, vakai, ko e laumālie kovi mei he ʻOtua ʻoku ne fakamamahiʻi koe.
Nacio ndungata cia Saũlũ ikĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩ roho mũũru uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai ũrakũnyariira.
16 Ke fekau mai ni ʻe homau ʻeiki ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao, ke kumi ha tangata ʻoku poto ʻi he tā ʻoe haʻape: pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka ʻiate koe ʻae laumālie kovi mei he ʻOtua, pea ʻe tā ʻe ia ʻaki hono nima, pea te ke moʻui ai.”
Reke mwathi witũ aathe ndungata ciake iria irĩ haha icarie mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩkũhũũrĩra kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto. Nĩarĩhũũraga kĩnanda rĩrĩa roho mũũru uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai wagũkora, nawe nĩũrĩiguaga wega.”
17 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Ko eni, mou kumi leva ni ha tangata ʻoku poto ʻi he tā meʻa faiva pea ʻomi ia kiate au.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Saũlũ akĩĩra ndungata ciake atĩrĩ, “Cariai mũndũ ũũĩ kũhũũra kĩnanda wega na mũmũrehe harĩ niĩ.”
18 Pea naʻe lea ai ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻe tokotaha, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, naʻaku mamata ki he foha ʻo Sese ko e tangata Petelihema, ʻaia ʻoku poto ʻi he tā, pea ko e tangata toʻa ʻaupito ia, mo e tangata tau, pea ʻoku anga fakapotopoto, pea ko e tangata matamatalelei, pea ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova.”
Ndungata ĩmwe yake ĩgĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyonete mũriũ ũmwe wa Jesii kuuma Bethilehemu ũũĩ kũhũũra kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto. Nĩ mũndũ mũũmĩrĩru na nĩ njamba ya ita. Nĩoĩ kwaria wega na nĩ mũndũ kĩĩrorerwa. Nake Jehova arĩ hamwe nake.”
19 Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe Saula ʻae kau talafekau kia Sese, ʻo pehē, “Tuku mai ho foha ko Tevita, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fanga sipi, ke haʻu kiate au.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Saũlũ agĩtũma andũ kũrĩ Jesii, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũmĩra mũrũguo Daudi, ũrĩa ũrarĩithia ngʼondu.”
20 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Sese ʻae ʻasi naʻe tauloto mā, mo e hina uaine, mo e ʻuhikiʻi sipi, ʻo ne ʻatu ia kia Saula ʻi he nima ʻo hono foha ko Tevita.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesii akĩoya ndigiri ikuuĩte mĩgate, na mondo ya ndibei, na koori, agĩcinengera mũrũwe Daudi atwarĩre Saũlũ.
21 Pea naʻe hoko ange ʻa Tevita kia Saula, ʻo tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao: pea naʻe ʻofa lahi ia kiate ia; pea hoko ia ko hono hoa tau.
Daudi agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Saũlũ, akĩingĩra ũtungata-inĩ wake. Saũlũ akĩmwenda mũno, nake Daudi agĩtuĩka ũmwe wa kũmũkuagĩra indo cia mbaara.
22 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Saula kia Sese, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe tuku mai ʻa Tevita ke nofo ia ʻi hoku ʻao; he ʻoku ou leleiʻia ai au.”
Ningĩ Saũlũ agĩtũma ũhoro kũrĩ Jesii, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩria Daudi aikare ũtungata-inĩ wakwa nĩgũkorwo nĩngenetio nĩwe.”
23 Pea ʻi he hoko kia Saula ʻae laumālie mei he ʻOtua, pea pehē, naʻe toʻo ʻe Tevita ʻae haʻape ʻo ne tā ʻaki ia hono nima: pea naʻe fakafiemālie ai ʻa Saula, pea moʻui ai, pea naʻe ʻalu ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie kovi.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe roho ũcio mũũru uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai wakoraga Saũlũ, Daudi nĩoyaga kĩnanda gĩake kĩa mũgeeto na agakĩhũũra. Nake Saũlũ akahoorera; akaigua wega, naguo roho ũcio mũũru ũkamweherera.
