1 Samuela 9
1 Pea naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻo Penisimani, ko Kisi hono hingoa, ko e foha ʻo ʻApieli, ko e foha ʻo Siloa, ko e foha ʻo Pikolati, ko e foha ʻo ʻAfia ko e tangata Penisimani, ko e tangata mālohi.
Et erat vir de Beniamin nomine Cis, filius Abiel, filii Seror, filii Bechorath, filii Aphia, filii viri Iemini, fortis robore.
2 Pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae foha ko Saula hono hingoa, ko e tangata talavou lelei, mo toulekeleka: pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli naʻe lelei hake ʻiate ia: mei hono uma ʻo fai ki ʻolunga naʻe māʻolunga lahi taha pe ia ʻi he kakai kotoa pē.
Et erat ei filius vocabulo Saul, electus et bonus: et non erat vir de filiis Israel melior illo. ab humero et sursum eminebat super omnem populum.
3 Pea naʻe hē ʻae fanga ʻasi ʻa Kisi ko ʻene tamai. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kisi kia Saula ko hono foha, “Ko eni ke ke ʻave ʻae tokotaha ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ke ʻalu ʻo kumi ʻae fanga ʻasi.”
Perierant autem asinæ Cis patris Saul: et dixit Cis ad Saul filium suum: Tolle tecum unum de pueris, et consurgens vade, et quære asinas. Qui cum transissent per montem Ephraim,
4 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo ʻasi ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻo ne ʻosiki ʻae fonua ʻo Salisa, ka naʻe ʻikai te na ʻilo ʻakinautolu: pea naʻa na toki ō ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua ʻo Salima, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻi ai: pea ʻalu ia ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Penisimani, ka naʻe ʻikai te na ʻilo ʻakinautolu.
et per terram Salisa, et non invenissent, transierunt etiam per Terram Salim, et non erant: sed et per Terram Iemini, et minime repererunt.
5 Pea ʻi he ʻena hoko ki he fonua ʻo Sufi, naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki naʻe ʻiate ia, “Ke ta tafoki; telia naʻa tuku ʻe heʻeku tamai ʻene tokanga ki he fanga ʻasi, pea hoko ʻo tokanga kiate kitaua.”
Cum autem venissent in Terram Suph, dixit Saul ad puerum, qui erat cum eo: Veni et revertamur, ne forte dimiserit pater meus asinas, et solicitus sit pro nobis.
6 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Vakai mai, ʻoku ʻi he kolo ni ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ko e tangata ongoongolelei ia; ʻoku hoko moʻoni ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ne lea ki ai: pea ko eni ke ta ō ki ai; heiʻilo pe te ne faʻa fakahā mai hota hala ke ta ō ai.”
Qui ait ei: Ecce vir Dei est in civitate hac, vir nobilis: omne, quod loquitur, sine ambiguitate venit. nunc ergo eamus illuc, si forte indicet nobis de via nostra, propter quam venimus.
7 Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Saula ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Kae vakai, kapau te ta ō, ko e hā te ta ʻave ki he tangata? He kuo ʻosi ʻae mā ʻi heʻeta ngaahi ipu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻaʻofa ke ʻatu ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua: ko e hā ʻoku ta maʻu?”
Dixitque Saul ad puerum suum: Ecce ibimus: quid feremus ad virum Dei? panis defecit in sitarciis nostris: et sportulam non habemus, ut demus homini Dei, nec quidquam aliud.
8 Pea naʻe toe lea ʻae tamaioʻeiki kia Saula, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻiate au hono fā ʻoe vahe ʻoe sikeli siliva: te u ʻatu ia ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ke ne fakahā hota hala.”
Rursum puer respondit Sauli, et ait: Ecce inventa est in manu mea, quarta pars stateris argenti, demus homini Dei, ut indicet nobis viam nostram.
9 (ʻI he ʻalu ha tangata ʻi muʻa ʻi ʻIsileli ke fehuʻi ki he ʻOtua, naʻe lea ia ʻo pehē, “Haʻu ke tau ō ki he tangata kikite: he ko ia ʻoku ui ni ko e Palōfita, naʻe ui ia ʻi muʻa ko e tangata kikite.”)
(Olim in Israel sic loquebatur unusquisque vadens consulere Deum: Venite, et eamus ad Videntem. Qui enim Propheta dicitur hodie, vocabatur olim Videns.)
10 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “ʻOku lelei hoʻo lea, haʻu ke ta ō.” Ko ia ne na ō ai ki he kolo ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua.
Et dixit Saul ad puerum suum: Optimus sermo tuus, Veni, eamus. Et ierunt in civitatem, in qua erat vir Dei.
11 Pea ʻi heʻena ʻohake ʻi he moʻunga ki he kolo, naʻa na ʻilo ʻae kau finemui naʻe ʻalu ke ʻutu vai, pea ne na pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻi heni ʻae tangata kikite?”
Cumque ascenderent clivum civitatis, invenerunt puellas egredientes ad hauriendam aquam, et dixerunt eis: Num hic est Videns?
12 Pea naʻa nau tali ʻakinaua, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻi ai ia; vakai, ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ia ʻiate kimoua: mo fakatoʻotoʻo, he naʻe haʻu he ʻaho ni ia ki he kolo; he ʻoku ai ʻae kātoanga ʻae kakai he ʻaho ni ʻi he potu māʻolunga:
Quæ respondentes, dixerunt illis: Hic est: ecce ante te, festina nunc: hodie enim venit in civitatem, quia sacrificium est hodie populi in excelso.
13 ʻI hoʻomo hoko ki he kolo, te mo ʻilo leva ia, ʻi he teʻeki ke ʻalu hake ia ki he potu māʻolunga ke kai: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai kai ʻe he kakai kaeʻoua ke hoko ange ia, he ʻoku ne tāpuaki ʻae feilaulau; pea hili ia, ʻe toki kai ʻakinautolu naʻe tala ki ai. Ko ia mo ʻohake eni; he ko e feituʻulaʻā eni te mo ʻilo ia.”
Ingredientes urbem, statim invenietis eum antequam ascendat excelsum ad vescendum. neque enim comesurus est populus donec ille veniat: quia ipse benedicit hostiæ, et deinceps comedunt qui vocati sunt. Nunc ergo conscendite, quia hodie reperietis eum.
14 Pea naʻa na ʻohake ki he kolo: pea ʻi heʻena hoko hake ki he kolo, vakai, naʻe hū kituʻa ʻa Samuela kiate kinaua, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu hake ki he potu māʻolunga.
Et ascenderunt in civitatem. Cumque illi ambularent in medio urbis, apparuit Samuel egrediens obviam eis, ut ascenderet in excelsum.
15 Ka ko eni kuo ʻosi hono fakahā ʻe Sihova ki he telinga ʻo Samuela ʻi he ʻaho naʻe muʻa ʻi he hoko atu ʻa Saula, ʻo pehē,
Dominus autem revelaverat auriculam Samuelis ante unam diem quam veniret Saul, dicens:
16 “Feʻunga mo e feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi te u fekau kiate koe ʻae tangata mei he fonua ʻo Penisimani, pea te ke fakanofo ia ko e ʻeiki ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ne fakamoʻui hoku kakai mei he nima ʻoe kau Filisitia: he kuo u vakai ki hoku kakai, koeʻuhi kuo hoko hake ʻenau tangi kiate au.”
Hac ipsa hora, quæ nunc est, cras mittam virum ad te de Terra Beniamin, et unges eum ducem super populum meum Israel: et salvabit populum meum de manu Philisthinorum: quia respexi populum meum, venit enim clamor eorum ad me.
17 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Samuela kia Saula, naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Vakai ko e tangata eni ʻaia ne u lea ai kiate koe! Ko ia ia te ne pule ki hoku kakai.”
Cumque aspexisset Samuel Saulem, Dominus dixit ei: Ecce, vir, quem dixeram tibi, iste dominabitur populo meo.
18 Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Saula kia Samuela ʻi he matapā, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ke ke tala mai, ko e fē ʻae fale ʻoe tangata kikite?”
Accessit autem Saul ad Samuelem in medio portæ, et ait: Indica, oro, mihi, ubi est domus Videntis.
19 Pea naʻe tali ʻe Samuela ʻa Saula, ʻo pehē, “Ko au ko e tangata kikite: ke ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate au ki he potu māʻolunga, he te tau kai mo au he ʻaho ni, pea te u tuku koe ke ʻalu ʻapongipongi, pea te u tala kiate koe ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho loto.
Et respondit Samuel Sauli dicens: Ego sum Videns. ascende ante me in excelsum, ut comedatis mecum hodie, et dimittam te mane: et omnia, quæ sunt in corde tuo, indicabo tibi.
20 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he fanga ʻasi ʻaia naʻe hē ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu kuo hili, ʻoua naʻa tokanga ho loto ki ai; he kuo ʻilo ʻakinautolu. Pea ʻoku tau kia hai ʻae holi ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē? ʻIkai ʻoku ʻiate koe, pea ki he fale kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo tamai?”
Et de asinis, quas nudiustertius perdidisti, ne solicitus sis, quia inventæ sunt. Et cuius erunt optima quæque Israel? nonne tibi et omni domui patris tui?
21 Pea naʻe tali ʻe Saula ʻo pehēange, “ʻIkai ko e tangata Penisimani au ʻi he faʻahinga ʻoku siʻi hifo ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli? Pea ko hoku fale ko e siʻi taha pe ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke lea pehē ai kiate au?”
Respondens autem Saul, ait: Numquid non filius Iemini ego sum de minima tribu Israel, et cognatio mea novissima inter omnes familias de tribu Beniamin? quare ergo locutus es mihi sermonem istum?
22 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Samuela ʻa Saula mo ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ki he potu fale kuo teuteu, ʻo ne fakanofo ʻakinaua ʻi he potu lahi taha pe ʻiate kinautolu naʻe tala, ʻaia ko e toko tolungofulu nai.
Assumens itaque Samuel Saulem, et puerum eius, introduxit eos in triclinium, et dedit eis locum in capite eorum, qui fuerant invitati. erant enim quasi triginta viri.
23 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela ki he ngaohi kai, “ʻOmi ʻae tufakanga naʻaku ʻatu kiate koe, ʻaia naʻaku lea ki ai kiate koe, Tuku pe ia ʻo tauhi.”
Dixitque Samuel coco: Da partem, quam dedi tibi, et præcepi ut reponeres seorsum apud te.
24 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe he ngaohi kai ʻae alanga muʻa, mo ia naʻe ʻi ai, ʻo tuku ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Saula. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela, “Vakai, ko ia ʻoku toe ke tuku ia ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke kai: he naʻe tauhi ia kiate koe ʻo aʻu ki he feituʻulaʻā ni talu ʻeku pehē, kuo u tala ki he kakai.” Pea ko ia naʻe kai ʻe Saula mo Samuela ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
Levavit autem cocus armum, et posuit ante Saul. Dixitque Samuel: Ecce quod remansit, pone ante te, et comede: quia de industria servatum est tibi, quando populum vocavi. Et comedit Saul cum Samuele in die illa.
25 Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hifo mei he potu māʻolunga ki he kolo, naʻe alea ʻa Samuela mo Saula ʻi he tuʻa fale.
Et descenderunt de excelso in oppidum, et locutus est cum Saule in solario: stravitque Saul in solario, et dormivit.
26 Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake pea feʻunga mo e maʻa ʻae ʻaho, naʻe ui ʻe Samuela ke ʻalu hake ʻa Saula ki he tuʻa fale, ʻo pehē, “Tuʻu hake koeʻuhi ke u tuku koe ke ke ʻalu.” Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Saula, pea naʻa na ō kituʻa fakatouʻosi pe, ʻaia mo Samuela ki he mamaʻo.
Cumque mane surrexissent, et iam elucesceret, vocavit Samuel Saulem in solario, dicens: Surge, et dimittam te. Et surrexit Saul: egressique sunt ambo, ipse videlicet, et Samuel.
27 Pea ʻi heʻena ʻohifo ki hono ngataʻanga ʻoe kolo, naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela kia Saula, “Fekau ki he tamaioʻeiki ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate kitaua, (pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia, ) ka ke tuʻumaʻu pe ʻa koe, koeʻuhi ke u fakahā kiate koe ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua.”
Cumque descenderent in extrema parte civitatis, Samuel dixit ad Saul: Dic puero ut antecedat nos, et transeat: tu autem subsiste paulisper, ut indicem tibi verbum Domini.
