< 1 Samuela 18 >
1 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻena alea mo Saula, naʻe fepikitaki ʻae laumālie ʻo Sonatane mo e laumālie ʻo Tevita, pea naʻe ʻofa ʻa Sonatane kiate ia ʻo hangē ko hono laumālie ʻoʻona.
2 Pea naʻe ʻave ia ʻe Saula ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, pea naʻe ʻikai toe tuku ia ke ʻalu ki ʻapi ki he fale ʻo ʻene tamai.
3 Pea naʻe toki alea ai ʻa Sonatane mo Tevita ʻi he fuakava, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻofa kiate ia ʻo hangē ko hono laumālie ʻoʻona.
4 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Sonatane hono pulupulu ʻoʻona ʻaia naʻa ne kofuʻaki, ʻo ne foaki ia kia Tevita, mo hono ngaahi kofu, ʻio, ʻa ʻene heletā foki, mo ʻene kaufana, pea mo hono nonoʻo.
5 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻe Tevita ki he potu kotoa pē naʻe fekau ia ki ai ʻe Saula, pea naʻa ne fai fakapotopoto: pea naʻe fakanofo ia ʻe Saula ke pule ki he kau tangata tau, pea naʻe ongolelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, pea ʻi he ʻao foki ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Saula.
6 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau haʻu ʻi he liu mai ʻa Tevita mei he tāmateʻi ʻoe tangata Filisitia, naʻe hū mai kituʻa ʻae kau fefine mei he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ke fakafetaulaki ki he tuʻi ko Saula, ʻonau hiva mo meʻe hopohopo ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa tatangi, ʻi he fiefia lahi pea mo e ngaahi meʻa faiva.
7 Pea naʻe fetaliʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau fefine ʻi heʻenau tā ʻae meʻa, ʻonau pehē, “Kuo taaʻi ʻe Saula ʻene ngaahi toko afe, ka ko Tevita ʻene ngaahi toko mano.”
8 Pea naʻe houhau lahi ʻa Saula, pea fakahouhau kiate ia ʻae lea ko ia; pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo nau tuku kia Tevita ʻae ngaahi toko mano, pea kuo nau tuku kiate au ʻae ngaahi toko afe pe: pea ko e hā ha meʻa ʻoku toe ke ne maʻu, ka ko e puleʻanga pe?”
9 Pea naʻe lamasi ʻe Saula ʻa Tevita talu mei he ʻaho ko ia.
10 Pea pongipongi hake, pea pehē, naʻe hoko kia Saula ʻae laumālie kovi mei he ʻOtua, pea naʻe kikite ia ʻi he loto fale: pea naʻe tā ʻe Tevita ʻaki hono nima ʻo hangē ko ʻene muʻaki fai: pea naʻe ʻi he nima ʻo Saula ʻae tao.
11 Pea naʻe velo ʻe Saula ʻae tao; he naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Te u veloʻi ʻaki ʻa Tevita, ʻio, ki he holisi fale.” Pea naʻe kalo mālie ʻa Tevita mei hono ʻao ʻo liunga ua.
12 Pea naʻe manavahē ʻa Saula kia Tevita, he naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova, ka kuo ʻalu ia meia Saula.
13 Ko ia naʻe hiki ai ia ʻe Saula meiate ia, ʻo ne fakanofo ia ko e ʻeikitau ki he toko afe: pea naʻe feʻaluʻaki pe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai.
14 Pea naʻe tāpuekina ʻa Tevita ʻi hono ngaahi hala kotoa pē; pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova.
15 Ko ia ʻi he mamata ʻa Saula ʻoku fai fakapotopoto lahi ʻaupito ia, naʻe manavahē ia kiate ia.
16 Ka naʻe ʻofa kia Tevita ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo Siuta, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene feʻaluʻaki ʻi honau ʻao.
17 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula kia Tevita, Vakai, ko hoku ʻofefine tuʻukimuʻa ko Melapi, te u ʻatu ia kiate koe ko ho uaifi: ka ke fai fakatoʻa koe ʻo fai kiate au ʻae ngaahi tau ʻa Sihova. He naʻe pehē ʻe Saula, “Ke ʻoua naʻa hoko hoku nima kiate ia, ka ke hoko ʻae nima ʻoe kau Filisitia kiate ia.”
18 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Saula, “Ko hai au? Pea ko e hā ʻeku moʻui? Pe ko e fale ʻo ʻeku tamai ʻi ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke u hoko ai au ko e foha ʻi he fono ki he tuʻi?”
19 Ka naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho naʻe tonu ke ʻatu ai ʻa Melapi ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula kia Tevita, naʻe ʻatu ia kia ʻAtilili ko e tangata Mihola ke na mali.
20 Pea naʻe ʻofa kia Tevita ʻa Mikale, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula: pea naʻa nau fakahā ia kia Saula, pea naʻe fiemālie ai ia.
21 He naʻe pehē ʻe Saula, “Te u foaki ia kiate ia koeʻuhi ke hoko ia ko e tauhele kiate ia, pea koeʻuhi ke hiki hake ʻae nima ʻoe kau Filisitia kiate ia.” Ko ia ne pehē ai ʻe Saula kia Tevita, “Ke ke hoko he ʻaho ni ko hoku foha ʻi he fono ʻi ha tokotaha ʻo kinaua.”
22 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Saula ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo pehē, Ke mou alea fakalilolilo mo Tevita, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku fiefiemālie ʻae tuʻi kiate koe, pea ʻoku ʻofa ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē kiate koe: pea ko eni, ke ke fie hoko ko e foha ʻi he fono ki he tuʻi.”
23 Pea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Saula ʻae ngaahi lea ni ʻi he telinga ʻo Tevita. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “He ʻoku mou mahalo ko e meʻa maʻamaʻa ke hoko ko e foha ʻi he fono ki he tuʻi, ka ko e tangata masiva au, pea ko e tuʻa pe?”
24 Pea naʻe tala kia Saula ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo pehē, naʻe lea pehē pe ʻa Tevita.
25 Pea pehē ʻe Saula, “Te mou lea pehē pe kia Tevita, ʻOku ʻikai tokanga ʻae tuʻi ki he koloa, ka ko e muʻa kili ʻe teau ʻoe kakai Filisitia, ko e sauni ki he ngaahi fili ʻoe tuʻi.” Ka naʻe tokanga ʻa Saula ke taaʻi ʻa Tevita ʻe he nima ʻoe kau Filisitia.
26 Pea ʻi he fakahā ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kia Tevita ʻae ngaahi lea ni, naʻe fiemālie lahi ai ʻa Tevita ke hoko ko e foha ʻi he fono ʻoe tuʻi: pea naʻe teʻeki ai kakato ʻae ngaahi ʻaho.
27 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Tevita, ʻaia mo ʻene kau tangata, pea ne tāmateʻi ʻi he kakai Filisitia ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko uangeau; pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Tevita honau muʻa kili, ʻo ʻatu ʻo lau kakato ki he tuʻi koeʻuhi ke hoko ia ko e foha ʻi he fono ʻoe tuʻi. Pea naʻe ʻatu kiate ia ʻe Saula hono ʻofefine ko Mikale ke hoko ko hono uaifi.
28 Pea naʻe hā kia Saula ʻo ne ʻilo ʻoku ʻia Tevita ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻofa ʻa Mikale ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Saula kiate ia.
29 Pea naʻe tupu ʻo ʻāsili ai ʻae manavahē ʻa Saula kia Tevita; pea naʻe hoko ʻa Saula ko e fili maʻuaipē ʻo Tevita.
30 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu kituʻa ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia: pea hili ʻenau ʻalu atu, pea pehē, naʻe fai fakapotopoto lahi hake ʻa Tevita ʻi he kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē ʻa Saula; ko ia naʻe hoko ʻo maʻongoʻonga ai hono hingoa.
