2 Samuela 1

1 Pea hili ʻae mate ʻa Saula, pea kuo liu mai ʻa Tevita mei heʻene taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻAmaleki, pea kuo hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe ua mo ʻene nofo ʻa Tevita ʻi Sikilaki;

And it was after [the] death of Saul and David he returned from defeating Amalek and he remained David in Ziklag days two.

2 Pea ʻi he hoko ki hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho, vakai, naʻe haʻu ha tangata mei he tau ʻa Saula, kuo mahaehae hono kofu, pea pani efu hono ʻulu, pea ʻi heʻene hoko atu kia Tevita, naʻa ne tō hifo ki he kelekele, mo ne fai fakaʻapaʻapa.

And it was - on the day third and there! a man [was] coming from the camp from with Saul and garments his [were] torn and earth [was] on head his and it was when came he to David and he fell [the] ground towards and he bowed down.

3 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kiate ia, “ʻOku ke haʻu mei fē?” Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo u hao mei he nofoʻanga tau ʻo ʻIsileli.”

And he said to him David where? from this are you coming and he said to him from [the] camp of Israel I have escaped.

4 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kiate ia, “Ko e hā ha meʻa naʻe fai? ʻOku ou kole ke ke fakahā mai kiate au.” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “Kuo hola ʻae kakai mei he tau, pea kuo tō ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻo mate; pea kuo pekia ʻa Saula mo Sonatane ko hono foha foki.”

And he said to him David what? was it the word tell please to me and he said that it has fled the people from the battle and also [surely] a multitude has fallen of the people and they have died and also Saul and Jonathan son his they have died.

5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita ki he tangata talavou naʻe lea mai, “Naʻe fēfē hoʻo ʻilo ʻe koe kuo mate ʻa Saula pea mo Sonatane ko hono foha?”

And he said David to the young man who had told to him how? do you know that he has died Saul and Jonathan son his.

6 Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe he tangata talavou naʻe tala ia kiate ia, “ʻIloange naʻaku hoko atu ki he moʻunga ko Kilipoa, pea vakai, naʻe faʻaki ʻa Saula ki hono tao; pea vakai naʻe tuli mālohi kiate ia ʻae ngaahi saliote mo e kau heka hoosi.

And he said the young man - who had told to him [surely] by chance I found myself on [the] mountain of Gilboa and there! Saul [was] leaning on spear his and there! the chariotry and [the] owners of the horses they overtook him.

7 Pea ʻi heʻene sio ki mui, naʻa ne mamata kiate au, ʻo ne ui kiate au. Pea naʻaku pehē ʻe au, ‘Ko au eni.’

And he turned behind him and he saw me and he called to me and I said here [am] I.

8 Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, ‘Ko hai koe?’ Pea naʻaku pehē kiate ia, ‘Ko e tangata ʻAmaleki au.’

And he said to me who? [are] you (and I said *Q(K)*) to him [am] an Amalekite I.

9 Pea naʻa ne toe pehē mai kiate au, ‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tuʻu hake kiate au ʻo tāmateʻi au: he ʻoku ou mamahi ʻaupito, koeʻuhi ʻoku kei mālohi ʻeku moʻui ʻiate au.’

And he said to me stand please over me and kill me for it has seized me dizziness for all still life my [is] in me.

10 Ko ia ne u tuʻu ki ai, ʻo tāmateʻi ia, koeʻuhi naʻaku ʻilo pau ʻe ʻikai te ne toe moʻui mei heʻene tō ki lalo ʻaupito: pea naʻaku toʻo ʻae tatā fakatuʻi mei hono ʻulu, mo e vesa mei hono nima, pea kuo u ʻomi ia ki heni ki hoku ʻeiki.

And I stood over him and I killed him for I knew that not he will live after had fallen he and I took the crown - which [was] on head his and an armlet which [was] on arm his and I brought them to lord my here.

11 Ka naʻe toki puke ʻe Tevita ki hono ngaahi kofu ʻo ne haehae ia; pea naʻe fai pehē foki ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia:

And he took hold David (on garments his *Q(K)*) and he tore them and also all the men who [were] with him.

12 Pea naʻa nau mamahi mo tangi, mo ʻaukai ʻo aʻu ki he poʻuli, koeʻuhi ko Saula, pea mo Sonatane ko hono foha, pea koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻa Sihova, pea mo e fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli; koeʻuhi ko e tō hifo ʻakinautolu ʻi he heletā.

And they mourned and they wept and they fasted until the evening on Saul and on Jonathan son his and on [the] people of Yahweh and on [the] house of Israel for they had fallen by the sword.

13 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita ki he tangata talavou naʻe ʻomi ʻae ongoongo, “ʻOku ke mei fē koe?” Pea naʻa ne pehēange, “Ko e foha au ʻoe muli, ko e ʻAmaleki.”

And he said David to the young man who had told to him where? from this [are] you and he said [am the] son of a man a sojourner an Amalekite I.

14 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kiate ia, “Ko e hā ia naʻe ʻikai te ke manavahē ai ke ala atu ho nima ke tāmateʻi ʻaia naʻe fakatapui ʻe Sihova?”

And he said to him David how? not were you afraid to stretch out hand your to destroy [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh.

15 Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Tevita ki ha taha ʻoe kau talavou, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻUnuʻunu atu ʻo taaʻi ia.” Pea naʻa ne taaʻi ia ke ne mate.

And he called David to one from the young men and he said draw near fall on him and he struck down him and he died.

16 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kiate ia, “Ke ʻi ho ʻulu pe ʻoʻou ho toto; he kuo fakamoʻoni ʻe ho ngutu kiate koe, ʻo pehē, kuo u tāmateʻi ʻaia naʻe fakatapui ʻe Sihova.”

And he said to him David (blood your *Q(K)*) [be] on head your for own mouth your it has testified against you saying I I killed [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh.

17 Pea naʻe tēngihia ʻe Tevita ʻa Saula, pea mo hono foha ko Sonatane, ʻi he tangilāulau ko eni:

And he lamented David the lamentation this on Saul and on Jonathan son his.

18 (Naʻa ne fekau foki ke nau akoʻi ʻae fānau ʻa Siuta ke ngāueʻaki ʻae kaufana: vakai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻa Sesa.)

And he said to teach [the] descendants of Judah Bow here! [it is] written on [the] scroll of the Jashar.

19 “Kuo tāmateʻi ʻae toulekeleka, ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi hoʻo ngaahi potu māʻolunga: ʻOiauē, kuo hinga ʻae kau tangata mālohi!

The beauty O Israel on high places your [is] slain how! they have fallen [the] mighty [ones].

20 ‌ʻOua naʻa tala ia ʻi Kati, ʻoua naʻa fakahā ia ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo ʻAsikeloni; telia naʻa fiefia ai ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea telia naʻa polepole ai ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻokinautolu ʻoku taʻekamu.

May not you tell in Gath may not you bear news in [the] streets of Ashkelon lest they should rejoice [the] daughters of [the] Philistines lest they should exult [the] daughters of the uncircumcised.

21 ‌ʻAe ngaahi moʻunga ʻo Kilipoa, ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha hahau, pe ha ʻuha ʻe tō hifo kiate koe, pe [ʻiate ]koe ha ngoueʻanga ʻoe feilaulau: koeʻuhi kuo liʻaki kovi ʻi ai ʻae pā ʻoe mālohi, ʻae pā ʻo Saula, ʻo hangē pe naʻe ʻikai ke fakatapui ia ʻaki ʻae lolo.

O mountains in Gilboa may not dew and may not rain [be] on you and fields of contributions for there it was defiled [the] shield of [the] mighty [ones] [the] shield of Saul not [was] anointed with oil.

22 Naʻe ʻikai foki mai ʻae kaufana ʻo Sonatane, mei he toto ʻokinautolu naʻe tāmateʻi, mei he sino ʻoe kau mālohi, pea naʻe ʻikai foki noa mai ʻae heletā ʻa Saula.

From [the] blood of [those] slain from [the] fat of [the] mighty [ones] [the] bow of Jonathan not it turned back backwards and [the] sword of Saul not it returned empty.

23 Naʻe toulekeleka, mo lelei ʻa Saula mo Sonatane ʻi heʻena moʻui, pea naʻe ʻikai māvae ʻakinaua ʻi heʻena mate: naʻa na veʻe vave hake ʻi he fanga ʻikale, naʻa na mālohi lahi hake ʻi he fanga laione.

Saul and Jonathan lovable and pleasant in lives their and in death their not they were separated more than eagles they were swift more than lions they were strong.

24 ‌ʻAe ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo ʻIsileli, mou tēngihia ʻa Saula, ʻaia naʻa ne fakakofuʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e meʻa ʻoe manako, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻai ki hoʻomou kofu ʻae teunga ʻoe koula.

O daughters of Israel because of Saul weep who clothed you scarlet with luxuries who brought up ornament[s] of gold on clothing your.

25 ‌ʻOiauē, ʻae hinga ki lalo ʻae kau mālohi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe tau! ʻE Sonatane naʻe tāmateʻi koe ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻoʻou.

How! they have fallen [the] mighty [ones] in [the] middle of the battle Jonathan on high places your [is] slain.

26 Kuo u mamahi koeʻuhi ko koe, ʻe hoku kāinga ko Sonatane: naʻa ke lelei fau kiate au: naʻe fakamanavahē hoʻo ʻofa kiate au, ʻo lahi hake ʻi he ʻofa ʻae kau fefine.

It is distress to me on you O brother my Jonathan you were pleasant to me very it was wonderful love your to me more than [the] love of women.

27 ‌ʻOiauē, he kuo tō ki lalo ʻae kau mālohi, kuo fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi mahafu ʻoe tau!”

How! they have fallen [the] mighty [ones] and they have perished [the] weapons of war.
