2 Samuela 10

1 Pea hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe pekia ʻae tuʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻi he pule ʻa hono foha ko Hanuni.

And it was after thus and he died [the] king of [the] people of Ammon and he reigned Hanun son his in place his.

2 Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Tevita, “Te u fakahā ʻae ʻofa kia Hanuni ko e foha ʻo Naʻasi, koeʻuhi ko e fakahā ʻae ʻofa kiate au ʻe heʻene tamai.” Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Tevita ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ke nau fakafiemālieʻi ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene tamai. Pea naʻe haʻu [ai ]ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Tevita ki he fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.

And he said David I will do covenant loyalty - with Hanun [the] son of Nahash just as he did father his with me covenant loyalty and he sent David to comfort him by [the] hand of servants his concerning father his and they came [the] servants of David [the] land of [the] people of Ammon.

3 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he houʻeiki ʻoe fānau ʻo Hanuni ko honau ʻeiki, “ʻOku ke mahalo, kuo fai fakaʻapaʻapa ʻa Tevita ki hoʻo tamai, ʻi heʻene fekau mai ʻae kau fakafiemālie kiate koe? ʻIkai kuo fekau mai ʻe Tevita ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke nau hakule ʻae kolo, pea mamata ki ai, pea ke nau lavaʻi ia?”

And they said [the] leaders of [the] people of Ammon to Hanun lord their ¿ honoring [is] David father your in view your for he has sent to you comforters ¿ not in order to explore the city and to spy on it and to overthrow it has he sent David servants his to you.

4 Ko ia naʻe puke ʻe Hanuni ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Tevita, mo ne tele fakapotu taha ʻa honau fakapau, mo ne tuʻusi fakavaeua ʻa honau ngaahi kofu vala, [ʻo fai ]mei he tuʻungaiku, mo ne toki fekau ke nau ʻalu.

And he took Hanun [the] servants of David and he shaved half of beard their and he cut off robes their at the middle to buttocks their and he sent away them.

5 Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ʻo fakahā ia kia Tevita, naʻa ne fekau atu [ha niʻihi ]ke fakafetaulaki atu kiate kinautolu, he naʻa nau mā lahi ʻaupito: pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Mou tatali ʻi Seliko kaeʻoua ke toe tupu ʻa homou kava, pea mou toki haʻu.”

And people told to David and he sent to meet them for they were the men humiliated very and he said the king remain at Jericho until it will grow back beard your and you will return.

6 Pea ʻi he vakai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni kuo nau namukū ʻi he ʻao ʻo Tevita, naʻe fekau atu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, mo nau totongi ki he kakai Silia naʻe [nofo ]ʻi Pete-Lehopi, mo e kakai Silia ʻi Sopa, ko e kau tangata hāʻele ʻe toko ua mano, pea mei he tuʻi ko Meaka ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko taha afe, pea mo e kau tangata ʻe tokotaha mano mo e toko ua afe meia Isitopi.

And they saw [the] people of Ammon that they had made themselves odious with David and they sent [the] people of Ammon and they hired Aram Beth Rehob and Aram Zobah twenty thousand foot soldier[s] and [the] king of Maacah one thousand man and [the] man of Tob two [plus] ten thousand man.

7 Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai ʻa Tevita, naʻa ne fekau atu ʻa Soape, pea mo ʻene kau tangata tau kotoa pē.

And he heard David and he sent Joab and all the army the warriors.

8 Pea naʻe hū mai kituʻa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea naʻa nau fakanofo ʻae tau ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matanikolo: ka naʻe tuʻu kehe fakataha ʻi he ʻataʻatā ʻae kakai Silia ʻo Sopa, pea mo Lehopi, pea mo Isitopi, pea mo Meaka.

And they went out [the] people of Ammon and they deployed battle [the] entrance of the gate and Aram Zobah and Rehob and [the] man of Tob and Maacah to alone them [were] in the open country.

9 Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻe Soape kuo fakanofo mai ʻae tau mei muʻa pea mei mui, naʻa ne fili mai ʻae kau toʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe ongoongoa, mo ne tuku [ʻakinautolu ]ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Silia:

And he saw Joab that it was against him [the] face of the battle from before and from behind and he chose some of all [the] chosen [men] (of Israel *Q(K)*) and he deployed [them] to meet Aram.

10 Pea ko hono toe ʻoe kakai naʻa ne tuku ki he nima ʻo hono tokoua ko ʻApisai, koeʻuhi ke ne tauʻi ʻaki [ʻakinautolu ]ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.

And [the] rest of the people he put in [the] hand of Abishai brother his and he deployed [them] to meet [the] people of Ammon.

11 Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Kapau ʻe mālohi fau ʻae kakai Silia kiate au, te ke toki tokoni mai ʻe koe: pea kapau ʻe mālohi fau kiate koe ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, te u toki haʻu au ʻo tokoni kiate koe.

And he said if it will be [too] strong Aram for me and you will become of me deliverance and if [the] people of Ammon they will be [too] strong for you and I will come to deliver you.

12 Mou lototoʻa, pea ke tau fai ʻo ngalingali tangata koeʻuhi ko hotau kakai, pea mo e ngaahi kolo ʻo hotau ʻOtua: pea ke fai ʻe Sihova ʻaia ʻoku lelei kiate ia.”

Be strong so we may show ourselves strong for people our and for [the] cities of God our and Yahweh he will do the good in view his.

13 Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Soape, pea mo e kakai naʻe ʻiate ia, ke[nau ]tauʻi ʻae kakai Silia: pea naʻa nau hola mei hono ʻao.

And he drew near Joab and the people which [was] with him for battle in Aram and they fled from before him.

14 Pea ʻi he sio ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ʻoku hola ʻae kakai Silia, naʻa nau toki hola foki mei he ʻao ʻo ʻApisai, ʻonau hū ki he kolo. Ko ia naʻe foki mai ʻa Soape mei he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, ʻo ne haʻu ki Selūsalema.

And [the] people of Ammon they saw that it had fled Aram and they fled from before Abishai and they went the city and he returned Joab from on [the] people of Ammon and he came Jerusalem.

15 Pea ʻi he vakai ʻe he kakai Silia kuo teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau tānaki fakataha ʻakinautolu.

And it saw Aram that it was defeated before Israel and they gathered themselves together.

16 Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Hetatesa, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae kakai Silia naʻe nofo ʻi he tuʻa vaitafe: pea naʻa nau haʻu ki ʻElami; pea naʻe tataki ʻakinautolu ʻe Sopaki ko e ʻeiki pule ki he kau tau ʻa Hetatesa.

And he sent Hadadezer and he brought out Aram which [was] from [the] other side of the River and they came Helam and Shobach [the] commander of [the] army of Hadadezer [was] before them.

17 Pea ʻi hono fakahā eni kia Tevita, naʻa ne tānaki fakataha ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa, pea naʻa nau āʻa atu ʻi Sioatani, ʻonau hoko atu ki ʻElami. Pea naʻe teuteuʻi ʻae tau ʻae kakai Silia kia Tevita, pea naʻa nau tau mo ia.

And it was told to David. And he gathered all Israel and he passed over the Jordan and he came Helam towards and they deployed Aram to meet David and they did battle with him.

18 Pea naʻe feholaki ʻae kakai Silia mei he ʻao ʻo Tevita: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Tevita ʻa e [kau tangata ]naʻe heka ʻi he ngaahi saliote ʻe fitungeau ʻoe kakai Silia, pea mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe toko fā mano, pea naʻa ne taaʻi ʻa Sopaki ko e ʻeiki pule ʻo ʻenau kau tau, ʻaia naʻe mate ʻi ai.

And it fled Aram from before Israel and he killed David of Aram seven hundred charioteer[s] and forty thousand horsemen and Shobach [the] commander of army its he struck down and he died there.

19 Pea ʻi he sio ʻae haʻa tuʻi kotoa pē naʻe toka kia Hetatesa, kuo teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau alea kenau melino mo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa nau toka mai kiate kinautolu. Ko ia naʻe manavahē ai ʻae kakai Silia ke toe tokoni ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.

And they saw all the kings [the] servants of Hadadezer that they were defeated before Israel and they made peace with Israel and they served them and they were afraid Aram to deliver again [the] people of Ammon.
