Fakamaau 18

1 ‌ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli: pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe kumi ʻe he faʻahinga ʻo Tani hanau tofiʻa kenau nofo ai; koeʻuhi naʻe teʻeki ai ke tō honau tofiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ko ia.

In diebus illis non erat rex in Israël, et tribus Dan quærebat possessionem sibi, ut habitaret in ea: usque ad illum enim diem inter ceteras tribus sortem non acceperat.

2 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he fānau ʻa Tani ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima ʻi honau faʻahinga mei honau fonua, ʻae kau tangata toʻa, mei Sola pea mei Esitaoli, kenau vakai ʻae fonua, pea ke malakiʻi ia; pea naʻa nau pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻAlu, pea matakiʻi ʻae fonua: pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ki he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, ki he fale ʻo Maika, naʻa nau mohe ʻi ai.

Miserunt ergo filii Dan stirpis et familiæ suæ quinque viros fortissimos de Saraa et Esthaol, ut explorarent terram, et diligenter inspicerent: dixeruntque eis: Ite, et considerate terram. Qui cum pergentes venissent in montem Ephraim, et intrassent domum Michæ, requieverunt ibi:

3 Pea ʻi heʻenau ofi ki he fale ʻo Maika, naʻa nau ʻilo ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangata talavou ko e Livai: pea naʻa nau afe ki ai, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Ko hai naʻa ne ʻomi koe ki heni? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke fai ʻi heni?”

et agnoscentes vocem adolescentis Levitæ, utentesque illius diversorio, dixerunt ad eum: Quis te huc adducit? quid hic agis? quam ob causam huc venire voluisti?

4 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē pē, mo pehē pe ʻe Maika kiate au, pea kuo ne nō au kiate ia ʻaki ʻae totongi, pea ko hono taulaʻeiki au.”

Qui respondit eis: Hæc et hæc præstitit mihi Michas, et me mercede conduxit, ut sim ei sacerdos.

5 Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko eni ʻoku mau kole kiate koe, ke ke kole ki he ʻOtua ʻae poto, koeʻuhi ke mau ʻilo pē ʻe monūʻia homau hala ʻaia ʻoku mau ʻalu ai.”

Rogaverunt autem eum ut consuleret Dominum ut scire possent an prospero itinere pergerent, et res haberet effectum.

6 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki, “Mou ʻalu fiemālie pē: ʻoku ʻafio ʻe Sihova ʻa homou hala ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ai.”

Qui respondit eis: Ite in pace: Dominus respicit viam vestram, et iter quo pergitis.

7 Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ai ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima ʻonau hoko ki Leisi, ʻo mamata ki he kakai naʻe ʻi ai, mo ʻenau nofo noa ai pe, ʻo hangē ko e kau Saitoni, ʻo fakafiemālie pe mo hamumunoa; pea naʻe ʻikai ha fakamaau ʻi he fonua ke fakamā ʻakinautolu ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha; pea naʻa nau mamaʻo mei he kau Saitoni; pea naʻe ʻikai tenau feongoongoi mo ha kakai.

Euntes igitur quinque viri venerunt Lais: videruntque populum habitantem in ea absque ullo timore, juxta consuetudinem Sidoniorum, securum et quietum, nullo ei penitus resistente, magnarumque opum, et procul a Sidone atque a cunctis hominibus separatum.

8 Pea naʻa nau haʻu ki honau kāinga ki Sola mo Esitaoli: pea pehē ʻe honau kāinga kiate kinautolu, Ko e hā hoʻomou lea?

Reversique ad fratres suos in Saraa et Esthaol, et quid egissent sciscitantibus responderunt:

9 Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Tuʻu hake koeʻuhi ke tau ʻalu hake kiate kinautolu: he kuo mau mamata ki he fonua, pea vakai, ʻoku lelei ʻaupito ia: pea ʻoku mou taʻengāue? ʻOua naʻa mou fakapikopiko ke ʻalu, pea ke hoko atu pea maʻu ʻae fonua.

Surgite, ascendamus ad eos: vidimus enim terram valde opulentam et uberem. Nolite negligere, nolite cessare: eamus, et possideamus eam: nullus erit labor.

10 Ka mou ka ʻalu, te mou hoko ki he kakai ʻoku nofo noa pē, pea ki he fonua lahi: he kuo foaki ia ʻe he ʻOtua ki homou nima; ko e potu ʻoku ʻikai masiva ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ʻi māmani.”

Intrabimus ad securos, in regionem latissimam, tradetque nobis Dominus locum, in quo nullius rei est penuria eorum quæ gignuntur in terra.

11 Pea naʻe ʻalu mei ai ʻi he fānau ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Tani, mei Sola pea mei Esitaoli, ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau naʻe toʻo mahafutau.

Profecti igitur sunt de cognatione Dan, id est, de Saraa et Esthaol, sexcenti viri accincti armis bellicis,

12 Pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake, ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi Keasa-Sialimi, ʻi Siuta: ko ia naʻa nau ui ai ʻae potu ko ia ko Mahaneani ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni: vakai, ʻoku tuʻu ia ʻituʻa Keasa-Sialimi.

ascendentesque manserunt in Cariathiarim Judæ: qui locus ex eo tempore Castrorum Dan nomen accepit, et est post tergum Cariathiarim.

13 Pea naʻa nau ʻalu mei ai ki he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ʻo hoko atu ki he fale ʻo Maika.

Inde transierunt in montem Ephraim. Cumque venissent ad domum Michæ,

14 Pea naʻe lea ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima naʻe ʻalu ke matakiʻi ʻae fonua ko Leisi, ʻonau pehē ki honau kāinga, “ʻOku mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi fale ni ʻae ʻefoti, mo e tamapua, mo e meʻa fakatātā kuo tā mo e fakatātā kuo haka? Pea ko eni mou fakakaukau pe ko e hā te mou fai.”

dixerunt quinque viri, qui prius missi fuerant ad considerandam terram Lais, ceteris fratribus suis: Nostis quod in domibus istis sit ephod, et theraphim, et sculptile, atque conflatile: videte quid vobis placeat.

15 Pea naʻa nau afe ki ai, pea hoko ki fale ʻoe talavou ko e Livai, ʻio, ki he fale ʻo Maika ʻonau fetapa kiate ia.

Et cum paululum declinassent, ingressi sunt domum adolescentis Levitæ, qui erat in domo Michæ: salutaveruntque eum verbis pacificis.

16 Pea ko e kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau naʻe toʻo mahafutau ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fānau ʻa Tani, naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā.

Sexcenti autem viri ita ut erant armati, stabant ante ostium.

17 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻo hū ki ai, ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima, naʻe ʻalu ke matakiʻi ʻae fonua, ʻo [nau ]toʻo ʻae meʻa fakatātā kuo tā mo e ʻefoti, mo e tamapua, mo e fakatātā kuo haka; pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae taulaʻeiki ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā fakataha mo e kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau ʻaia naʻe toʻo mahafutau.

At illi, qui ingressi fuerant domum juvenis, sculptile, et ephod, et theraphim, atque conflatile tollere nitebantur, et sacerdos stabat ante ostium, sexcentis viris fortissimis haud procul expectantibus.

18 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻakinautolu ki he fale ʻo Maika, pea ʻomi mei ai ʻae meʻa fakatātā kuo tā, mo e ʻefoti, mo e tamapua, mo e fakatātā kuo haka. Pea pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fai?”

Tulerunt igitur qui intraverant sculptile, ephod, et idola, atque conflatile. Quibus dixit sacerdos: Quid facitis?

19 Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Ke ke longo pē koe; ʻai ho nima ki ho ngutu, pea ke haʻu ke tau ō, pea ke hoko kiate kimautolu ko e tamai mo e taulaʻeiki: he ʻoku lelei kiate koe ke nofo ko e taulaʻeiki ki he fale ʻoe tangata pē taha, pe ko hoʻo hoko ko e taulaʻeiki ki he faʻahinga mo e fale ʻo ʻIsileli?”

Cui responderunt: Tace et pone digitum super os tuum: venique nobiscum, ut habeamus te patrem, ac sacerdotem. Quid tibi melius est, ut sis sacerdos in domo unius viri, an in una tribu et familia in Israël?

20 Pea naʻe fiefia ʻae loto ʻoe taulaʻeiki, pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae ʻefoti, mo e tamapua, mo e meʻa fakatātā kuo tā, pea ʻalu ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai.

Quod cum audisset, acquievit sermonibus eorum, et tulit ephod, et idola, ac sculptile, et profectus est cum eis.

21 Ko ia naʻa nau tafoki ʻo ʻalu ai, pea naʻe fakaheka ʻae fānau siʻi ki he ngaahi saliote mo e fanga manu ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate kinautolu.

Qui cum pergerent, et ante se ire fecissent parvulos ac jumenta, et omne quod erat pretiosum,

22 Pea ʻi heʻenau mamaʻo atu mei he fale ʻo Maika, naʻe kātoa ʻae kau tangata naʻe ʻi he ngaahi fale ofi ki he fale ʻo Maika, ʻonau tuli ʻo hoko atu ki he fānau ʻa Tani.

et jam a domo Michæ essent procul, viri qui habitabant in ædibus Michæ conclamantes secuti sunt,

23 Pea naʻa nau tangi ki he fānau ʻa Tani. Pea naʻa nau tangaki kimui, ʻo pehē kia Maika, “Ko e hā ʻaʻau, ʻoku ke haʻu ai mo e kakai pehē?”

et post tergum clamare cœperunt. Qui cum respexissent, dixerunt ad Micham: Quid tibi vis? cur clamas?

24 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo mou toʻo ʻo ʻave hoku ngaahi ʻotua naʻaku ngaohi, pea mo e taulaʻeiki, pea kuo mou ʻalu: pea ko e hā ʻoku toe ʻiate au? Pea ko e hā ia ʻoku mou lea ai kiate au, ‘Ko e hā ʻa au?’”

Qui respondit: Deos meos, quos mihi feci, tulistis, et sacerdotem, et omnia quæ habeo, et dicitis: Quid tibi est?

25 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa Tani kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa ongona ho leʻo ʻiate kimautolu telia naʻa ʻoho atu kiate koe ʻae kau siana loto ʻita, pea ʻe mole ʻiate koe hoʻo moʻui, fakataha mo e moʻui ʻa ho kau nofoʻanga.”

Dixeruntque ei filii Dan: Cave ne ultra loquaris ad nos, et veniant ad te viri animo concitati, et ipse cum omni domo tua pereas.

26 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa Tani ʻi honau hala: pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Maika ki heʻenau fai mālohi lahi kiate ia, naʻe tafoki ia ʻo ʻalu ki hono fale.

Et sic cœpto itinere perrexerunt. Videns autem Michas quod fortiores se essent, reversus est in domum suam.

27 Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe ngaohi ʻe Maika, mo e taulaʻeiki naʻa ne maʻu, ʻonau hoko ki Leisi, ki he kakai naʻe nofo fiemālie pe mo hamumunoa: pea naʻa nau teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea naʻe tutu ʻenau kolo ʻaki ʻae afi.

Sexcenti autem viri tulerunt sacerdotem, et quæ supra diximus: veneruntque in Lais ad populum quiescentem atque securum, et percusserunt eos in ore gladii: urbemque incendio tradiderunt,

28 Pea naʻe ʻikai ha fakamoʻui, he naʻe mamaʻo ia mei Saitoni, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau kau mo ha kakai; pea naʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he teleʻa ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki Pete-Lehopi. Pea naʻa nau langa ʻae kolo ʻo nofo ʻi ai.

nullo penitus ferente præsidium, eo quod procul habitarent a Sidone, et cum nullo hominum haberent quidquam societatis ac negotii. Erat autem civitas sita in regione Rohob: quam rursum exstruentes habitaverunt in ea,

29 Pea naʻa nau ui ʻae hingoa ʻoe kolo ko Tani, ʻo hangē ko e hingoa ʻo Tani ko ʻenau tamai, ʻaia naʻe fānau kia ʻIsileli: ka ko e moʻoni naʻe fuofua ui ʻae kolo ko ia ko Leisi.

vocato nomine civitatis Dan, juxta vocabulum patris sui, quem genuerat Israël, quæ prius Lais dicebatur.

30 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻe he fānau ʻa Tani ʻae tamapua fakatātā: pea ko Sioatani, ko e foha ʻo Kesomi, ko e foha ʻo Manase, ko ia mo hono ngaahi foha naʻe hoko ko e kau taulaʻeiki ki he faʻahinga ʻo Tani ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻoe fakapōpulaʻi ʻae fonua.

Posueruntque sibi sculptile, et Jonathan filium Gersam filii Moysi ac filios ejus sacerdotes in tribu Dan, usque ad diem captivitatis suæ.

31 Pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu hake ʻae tamapua naʻe tā ʻe Maika, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi, ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē naʻe nofo ai ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi Sailo.

Mansitque apud eos idolum Michæ omni tempore quo fuit domus Dei in Silo. In diebus illis non erat rex in Israël.
