2 Samuela 23

1 Pea ko eni, ko e ngaahi lea fakamuimui eni ʻa Tevita. Naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita ko e foha ʻo Sese, pea naʻe lea ʻo pehē ʻe he tangata naʻe hiki hake ke māʻolunga, ko ia naʻe pani ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope, pea pehē ʻe ia naʻe fasi mālie ʻi ʻIsileli,

These also be the last wordes of Dauid, Dauid the sonne of Ishai saith, euen the man who was set vp on hie, the Anointed of the God of Iacob, and the sweete singer of Israel saith,

2 Naʻe folofola ʻiate au ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova, pea ko ʻene folofola naʻe ʻi hoku ʻelelo.

The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his worde was in my tongue.

3 Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, “Naʻe folofola mai kiate au ʻae Makatuʻu ʻa ʻIsileli, Ke ke pule koe ki he kakai ʻi he angatonu, ʻo pule ʻi he manavahē ki he ʻOtua.

The God of Israel spake to me, ye strength of Israel saide, Thou shalt beare rule ouer men, being iust, and ruling in the feare of God.

4 Ke tatau ia mo e maama ʻoe pongipongi, ʻoka hopo hake ʻae laʻā, ʻi he pongipongi ʻoku ʻikai ai ha ngaahi ʻao; pea hangē ko e mohuku maʻuiʻui ʻoku [tupu ]mei he kelekele ʻaia ʻoku ngingila lelei ʻoka ʻosi ʻae tō ʻae ʻuha.”

Euen as the morning light when the sunne riseth, the morning, I say, without cloudes, so shall mine house be, and not as the grasse of the earth is by the bright raine.

5 Neongo ʻoku ʻikai pehē ʻa hoku fale ki he ʻOtua, ka kuo ne fai mo au ha fuakava taʻengata, kuo tuʻutuʻuni lelei ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē mo maʻu: pea ko ia kotoa pē te u moʻui ai, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ou holi ki ai, ʻikai te ne ngaohi ia ke tupu?

For so shall not mine house be with God: for he hath made with me an euerlasting couenant, perfite in all pointes, and sure: therefore all mine health and whole desire is, that he will not make it growe so.

6 Ka ʻe tatau ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻoe angakovi mo e talatalaʻi ʻakau ʻoku tekeʻi atu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai faʻa puke ʻaki ia ʻae nima:

But the wicked shalbe euery one as thornes thrust away, because they can not be taken with handes.

7 He ko e tangata ʻe ala ki ai ʻoku lelei ke ne mahafu ʻaki ʻae ukamea mo e kau ʻoe tao; pea ʻe tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ke ʻauha mālie kinautolu ʻi he potu[pe ko ia].

But the man that shall touch them, must be defensed with yron, or with the shaft of a speare: and they shall be burnt with fire in the same place.

8 Ko e hingoa eni ʻoe kau tangata mālohi ʻaia naʻe ʻia Tevita: ko Sosepiposipati mei Takimoni, ko e tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he ʻeiki ʻe “Toko Tolu;” ko ia foki ko ʻAtino ko e Hasinate: naʻa ne tauʻi ʻae toko valungeau ʻaia naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻi he kuonga pe taha.

These be the names of the mightie men whome Dauid had. He that sate in the seate of wisedome, being chiefe of the princes, was Adino of Ezni, he slewe eight hundreth at one time.

9 Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa ʻEliesa ko e foha ʻo Toto ko e tangata ʻAhoi, ko e taha ʻi he tuʻunga tangata ʻe toko tolu naʻe ʻia Tevita, ʻi he kuonga naʻa nau luki ki he kakai Filisitia naʻe tānaki fakataha ki he tau, ka kuo ʻalu mei ai ʻae kakai ʻIsileli:

And after him was Eleazar the sonne of Dodo, the sonne of Ahohi, one of the three worthies with Dauid, when they defied the Philistims gathered there to battel, when the men of Israel were gone vp.

10 Naʻa ne tuʻu hake, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻae kau Filisitia, pea naʻe fai ai pe ke vaivai hono nima, pea naʻe piki maʻu hono nima ki he heletā; pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae ikuna fakamanavahē; pea naʻe muimui kiate ia ʻae kakai ke vete pe ʻae koloa.

He arose and smote the Philistims vntill his hande was wearie, and his hande claue vnto the sworde: and the Lord gaue great victorie the same day, and the people returned after him onely to spoyle.

11 Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa Sama ko e foha ʻo ʻAkii ko e tangata Halali. Pea naʻe tānaki fakataha ʻae kau Filisitia ke papani, ki he potu ngoue naʻe fonu ʻi he piini: pea naʻe feholaki ʻae kakai mei he ʻao ʻoe kau Filisitia.

After him was Shammah the sonne of Age the Hararite: for the Philistims assembled at a towne, where was a piece of a fielde full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistims.

12 Ka naʻe tuʻu pe ia ʻi he loto ngoue, ʻo ne maluʻi ia, mo ne tāmateʻi ʻae kau Filisitia: pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻae ikuna lahi.

But he stoode in the middes of the fielde, and defended it, and slewe the Philistims: so the Lord gaue great victorie.

13 Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻae ʻeiki ʻe toko tolu naʻe pule ki he “Toko Tolungofulu” naʻe tuʻukimuʻa, ʻonau hoko mai kia Tevita ʻi he lolotonga ʻae ututaʻu, ki he ʻana ʻi ʻAtulami: pea naʻe nofo ʻae kautau ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Lefeimi.

Afterward three of the thirtie captaines went downe, and came to Dauid in the haruest time vnto the caue of Adullam, and the hoste of the Philistims pitched in the valley of Rephaim.

14 Pea naʻe nofo ʻa Tevita ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ʻi he kolo mālohi, pea naʻe nofo ʻae tau ʻae kakai Filisitia ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻi Petelihema.

And Dauid was then in an holde, and the garison of ye Philistims was then in Beth-lehem.

15 Pea naʻe holi ʻa Tevita, ʻo ne pehē, “Taumaiā ke ʻomi ʻe ha tokotaha haʻaku vai ke u inu mei he vaikeli ʻo Petelihema, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he veʻematapā!”

And Dauid longed, and said, Oh, that one would giue me to drinke of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate.

16 Pea naʻe ʻoho atu ʻae kau tangata mālohi ʻe Toko Tolu ko ia, ʻo ʻasi ʻi he matatau ʻoe kau Filisitia, ke utu hake ʻae vai mei he vaikeli ʻi Petelihema, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he veʻe matanikolo, pea naʻa nau toʻo ia, ʻo ʻomi kia Tevita: ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai te ne inu mei ai, ka naʻa ne lilingi atu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

The the three mightie brake into the host of the Philistims, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem that was by the gate, and tooke and brought it to Dauid, who woulde not drinke thereof, but powred it for an offring vnto ye Lord,

17 Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ke mamaʻo ia ʻiate au, ʻE Sihova, ke u fai ʻae meʻa ni; ʻikai ko e toto eni ʻoe kau tangata naʻe ʻalu kae tuʻutāmaki ʻenau moʻui?” Ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te ne inu mei ai. Ko e ngaahi meʻa eni naʻe fai ʻe he kau tangata mālohi ʻe toko tolu ko ia.

And said, O Lord, be it farre from me, that I should doe this. Is not this the blood of the men that went in ieopardie of their liues? therefore he woulde not drinke it. These things did these three mightie men.

18 Pea ko ʻApisai, ko e tokoua ʻo Soape, ko e tama ʻa Seluia, naʻe ʻeiki hake ia ʻi he Toko Tolu. Pea naʻa ne apoapo ʻa ʻene tao ke tauʻi ʻae toko tolungeau, pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi kinautolu, pea naʻe ongoongo hake ʻa hono hingoa ʻi he Toko Tolu.

And Abishai the brother of Ioab, the sonne of Zeruiah, was chiefe among the three, and he lifted vp his speare against three hundreth, and slewe them, and he had the name among the three.

19 ‌ʻIkai naʻe ongoongoa lahi hake ia ʻi he Toko Tolu? Ko ia naʻa ne ʻeiki kiate kinautolu: ka naʻe ʻikai tatau ia mo e ʻuluaki Toko Tolu.

For he was most excellent of the three, and was their captaine, but he attained not vnto the first three.

20 Pea ko Penaia, ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, ko e foha ʻoe tangata toʻa mei Kapisili, ʻaia naʻe fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻe ia ʻae ongo tangata Moape naʻe anga fakalaione: naʻa ne ʻalu hifo foki ʻo ne tāmateʻi ha laione ʻi he takele ʻo ha luo lolotonga ʻae faʻahitaʻu ʻoe ʻuha hinehina:

And Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada the sonne of a valiant man, which had done many actes, and was of Kabzeel, slewe two strong men of Moab: he went downe also, and slewe a lyon in the middes of a pit in the time of snowe.

21 Pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ha tangata ʻIsipite, ko e tangata toulekeleka: pea naʻe toʻo ʻe he tangata ʻIsipite ha tao ʻi hono nima: ka naʻa ne ʻalu atu kiate ia mo e tokotoko pe, pea ne hamusi ʻae tao mei he nima ʻoe tangata ʻIsipite, pea ne tāmateʻi ia ʻaki ʻa ʻene tao ʻaʻana.

And he slewe an Egyptian a man of great stature, and the Egyptian had a speare in his hande: but he went downe to him with a staffe, and plucked the speare out of the Egyptians hand, and slewe him with his owne speare.

22 Ko e ngaahi meʻa eni naʻe fai ʻe Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, pea naʻe lau hono hingoa ki he Toko Tolu naʻe ongoongoa.

These things did Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and had the name among the three worthies.

23 Naʻe ongoongo lahi hake ia ʻi he Toko Tolungofulu, ka naʻe ʻikai tatau ia mo e ʻuluaki Toko Tolu. Pea naʻe fakanofo ia ʻe Tevita ke tuʻukimuʻa ʻi heʻene kau mātuʻa alea.

He was honourable among thirtie, but he atteined not to the first three: and Dauid made him of his counsell.
