1 Samuela 14
1One day Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who carried his armor, “Come, let us go over to the Philistine garrison on the other side.” But he did not tell his father.
1PEA naʻe ai ʻae ʻaho, naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Saula ki he talavou naʻe toʻo ʻene mahafutau, “Haʻu ke ta ō ki he kolo tau ʻae kau Filisitia ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu tukuʻuta na.” Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne tala ia ki heʻene tamai.
2Saul was staying in the outskirts of Gibeah in the pomegranate cave at Migron. The people who were with him were about six hundred men,
2Pea naʻe tatali ʻa Saula ʻi he potu ngataʻanga ʻo Kipea ʻi he lolo ʻakau ko e pomikanite ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Mikiloni: pea ko e kakai naʻe ʻiate ia ko e kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau nai;
3including Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, son of Phinehas, son of Eli, the priest of the LORD in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.
3Pea ko ʻAhia, ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupe, ko e tokoua ʻo Ikapote, ko e foha ʻo Finiasi, ko e foha ʻo Ilai, ko e taulaʻeiki ʻa Sihova ʻi Sailo, ʻoku ne ʻai ʻae ʻefoti. Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he kakai kuo ʻalu ʻa Sonatane.
4Within the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistine garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side and a rocky crag on the other side. The name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
4Pea ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ʻaluʻanga, ʻaia naʻe fie ʻalu ai ʻa Sonatane ki he kolo tau ʻae kau Filisitia, naʻe ai ʻae maka māsila ʻi he potu ʻe taha, mo e maka māsila ʻi he potu ʻe taha: pea ko hono hingoa ʻoe taha ko Posese, pea ko e hingoa ʻoe taha ko Sene.
5The one crag rose on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.
5Ko e potu ʻoe taha naʻe hangatonu atu ki Mikimasi ki he tokelau, pea tonga ʻae taha ʻo hangatonu ki Kipea.
6Jonathan said to the young man who carried his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that the LORD will work for us, for nothing can hinder the LORD from saving by many or by few.”
6Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sonatane ki he talavou naʻe toʻo ʻene mahafutau, “Haʻu ke ta ō atu ki he kolo tau ʻae kau taʻekamu ni: ʻe pehē nai, ʻe ngāue ʻa Sihova maʻa kitaua: he ʻoku ʻikai faingataʻa kia Sihova ke fakamoʻui ʻi he tokolahi, pe ʻi he tokosiʻi.”
7And his armor-bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Do as you wish. Behold, I am with you heart and soul.”
7Pea naʻa pehē ʻae toʻo mahafutau kiate ia, “Fai ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho loto: tafoki koe; vakai, ʻoku ou ʻiate koe ʻo hangē ko ho loto.”
8Then Jonathan said, “Behold, we will cross over to the men, and we will show ourselves to them.
8Pea pehē ai ʻa Sonatane, “Vakai, te ta ō atu ki he kau tangata, pea ke ta fakahā ʻakitaua kiate kinautolu.
9If they say to us, ‘Wait until we come to you,’then we will stand still in our place, and we will not go up to them.
9Kapau tenau pehē mai kiate kitaua, Mo tatali ke ʻoua ke mau ʻalu atu kiate kimoua; pea te ta tuʻumaʻu ʻi hota potu, pea ʻe ʻikai te ta ō hake kiate kinautolu.
10But if they say, ‘Come up to us,’then we will go up, for the LORD has given them into our hand. And this shall be the sign to us.”
10Pea kapau tenau lea pehē, Mo ō hake kiate kimautolu; pea ta ō hake: he kuo tuku ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki hota nima: pea ko e fakaʻilonga ia kiate kitaua.”
11So both of them showed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, “Look, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden themselves.”
11Pea naʻa na fakahā fakatouʻosi pe ʻakinaua ki he kolo tau ʻae kau Filisitia: pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau Filisitia, “Vakai ʻoku ʻalu atu ʻae kakai Hepelū mei he ngaahi luo naʻa nau toitoi ʻi ai ʻakinautolu.”
12And the men of the garrison hailed Jonathan and his armor-bearer and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you a thing.” And Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, “Come up after me, for the LORD has given them into the hand of Israel.”
12Pea naʻe lea ʻae kau tangata ʻoe kolo tau kia Sonatane mo ʻene toʻo mahafutau, ʻo pehē, “Mo ō hake kiate kimautolu, pea te mau fakahā ha meʻa kiate kimoua.” Pea pehē ʻa Sonatane ki hono hoa tau, “ʻAlu hake ʻo muimui ʻiate au: he kuo tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻo ʻIsileli.”
13Then Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, and his armor-bearer after him. And they fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer killed them after him.
13Pea naʻe kaka hake ʻa Sonatane ʻo piki ʻaki hono nima, mo hono vaʻe, pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻa hono hoa tau: pea naʻa nau tō ki lalo ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sonatane; pea naʻe angimui ʻa hono hoa tau ʻo fai ʻae tāmate foki.
14And that first strike, which Jonathan and his armor-bearer made, killed about twenty men within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.
14Pea ko e fuofua tā naʻe fai ʻe Sonatane mo hono hoa tau, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko uofulu nai naʻe tō ʻi he potu kelekele, ko e vaeua ʻoe ʻeka ʻe taha, ʻaia ʻe faʻa keli ʻe he tauluaʻi pulu ʻe taha.
15And there was a panic in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison and even the raiders trembled, the earth quaked, and it became a very great panic.
15Pea naʻe tetetete lahi ʻae tau ʻi he ngoue, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē: ko e kolo tau mo e kau maumau naʻa nau tetetete foki, pea ngalulu mo e kelekele: ko ia ko e ngalulu lahi ʻaupito ia.
16And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and behold, the multitude was dispersing here and there.
16Pea naʻe sio atu ʻe he kau tangata leʻo ʻa Saula ʻi Kipea ʻo Penisimani; pea vakai, naʻe matukutuku ʻae kakai ʻo mole, pea naʻa nau ʻalu pe mo fetāʻaki pe ʻakinautolu.
17Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “Count and see who has gone from us.” And when they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer were not there.
17Pea pehē ai ʻe Saula ki he kakai naʻe ʻiate ia, “Ko eni, Mou lau, pea vakai pe ko hai kuo ʻalu meiate kitautolu.” Pea hili ʻenau lau, vakai naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ʻa Sonatane mo hono hoa tau.
18So Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of God here.” For the ark of God went at that time with the people of Israel.
18Pea pehē ʻe Saula kia ʻAhia, “ʻOmi ki heni ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻoe ʻOtua.” He naʻe ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae puha tapu ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he kuonga ko ia.
19Now while Saul was talking to the priest, the tumult in the camp of the Philistines increased more and more. So Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”
19Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he kei alea ʻa Saula mo e taulaʻeiki, naʻe tupu pe ʻae longoaʻa ʻi he tau ʻae kakai Filisitia: pea fakaʻaʻau ʻo lahi, pea pehē ʻa Saula ki he taulaʻeiki, “Taʻofi ho nima.”
20Then Saul and all the people who were with him rallied and went into the battle. And behold, every Philistine’s sword was against his fellow, and there was very great confusion.
20Pea ko Saula mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia naʻa nau fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻonau hoko atu ki he tau: pea vakai, ko e heletā ʻae tangata kotoa pē kuo hiki hake ki hono tokoua, pea naʻe ai ʻae maveuveu lahi ʻaupito.
21Now the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines before that time and who had gone up with them into the camp, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
21Pea koeʻuhi ko e kau Hepelū naʻe muʻaki nofo ki he kakai Filisitia, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu hake mo kinautolu ki he ʻapitanga mei he ngaahi potu fonua takatakai, naʻa nau liliu foki ʻo kau ki he kakai ʻIsileli naʻe ʻia Saula mo Sonatane.
22Likewise, when all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines were fleeing, they too followed hard after them in the battle.
22Pea mo e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa nau fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ʻi heʻenau ongoʻi kuo hola ʻae kakai Filisitia, naʻe tuli mālohi ʻekinautolu foki kiate kinautolu ʻi he tau.
23So the LORD saved Israel that day. And the battle passed beyond Beth-aven.
23Ko ia naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tau ʻo hoko ki Pete-ʻAveni.
24And the men of Israel had been hard pressed that day, so Saul had laid an oath on the people, saying, “Cursed be the man who eats food until it is evening and I am avenged on my enemies.” So none of the people had tasted food.
24Pea naʻe mamahi lahi ʻae kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: he naʻe fokotuʻu ʻae tapu ʻa Saula ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “Malaʻia ʻae tangata ʻaia ʻe kai ha meʻa he ʻaho ni kaeʻoua ke efiafi, koeʻuhi ke u lavaʻi ʻae totongi ki hoku ngaahi fili.” Ko ia naʻe ʻikai kamata ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi he kakai ha meʻakai.
25Now when all the people came to the forest, behold, there was honey on the ground.
25Pea naʻe hoko ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ki he potu vao ʻakauʻia; pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae hone ʻi he funga kelekele.
26And when the people entered the forest, behold, the honey was dropping, but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
26Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae kakai ki he vao ʻakau, naʻe toʻi ʻae honi; ka naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe ʻai hono nima ki hono ngutu; he naʻe manavahē ʻae kakai ki he fuakava.
27But Jonathan had not heard his father charge the people with the oath, so he put out the tip of the staff that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes became bright.
27Ka ko Sonatane naʻe ʻikai fanongo ia ki he fekau fakapapau ʻa ʻene tamai ki he kakai: ko ia naʻa ne ʻai ʻae muʻa tokotoko naʻe ʻi hono nima, ʻo ʻai ia ki hono toʻi ʻoe honi, pea ʻai hono nima ki hono ngutu; pea naʻe māmangia ai hono mata.
28Then one of the people said, “Your father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed be the man who eats food this day.’” And the people were faint.
28Pea lea ai ʻae tokotaha ʻi he kakai, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe lea fakapapau ʻa hoʻo tamai mo fuakava ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, ‘Malaʻia ʻae tangata ʻaia te ne kai meʻakai he ʻaho ni.’|” Pea naʻe vaivai ʻae kakai.
29Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. See how my eyes have become bright because I tasted a little of this honey.
29Pea pehē ai ʻa Sonatane, “Kuo fai fakamamahi ʻa ʻeku tamai ki he fonua: ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, vakai, ki hono fakamaama ki hoku mata, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku kamata ʻae meʻa siʻi ʻi he hone ni.
30How much better if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies that they found. For now the defeat among the Philistines has not been great.”
30Kae huanoa, ʻo ka ne kai lahi ʻe he kakai he ʻaho ni ʻi he vete ʻa honau fili kuo nau ʻilo? Ka ne pehē, ʻikai kuo lahi hake ʻaupito ʻae teʻia kuo hoko ki he kakai Filisitia?”
31They struck down the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. And the people were very faint.
31Pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia mei Mikimasi ʻo aʻu ki ʻAsaloni: pea naʻe vaivai lahi ʻae kakai.
32The people pounced on the spoil and took sheep and oxen and calves and slaughtered them on the ground. And the people ate them with the blood.
32Pea naʻe ʻoho atu ʻae kakai ki he vete, ʻo toʻo ʻae fanga sipi, mo e fanga pulu, mo e kosi, ʻo tāmateʻi ia ʻi he kelekele: pea naʻe kai ia ʻe he kakai mo e toto.
33Then they told Saul, “Behold, the people are sinning against the LORD by eating with the blood.” And he said, “You have dealt treacherously; roll a great stone to me here.”
33Pea naʻa nau tala kia Saula, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fai angahala ʻae kakai kia Sihova, koeʻuhi ʻi heʻenau kai mo e toto.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, Kuo mou fai angahala: filifilihi mai ha maka lahi kiate au he ʻaho ni.
34And Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people and say to them, ‘Let every man bring his ox or his sheep and slaughter them here and eat, and do not sin against the LORD by eating with the blood.’” So every one of the people brought his ox with him that night and they slaughtered them there.
34Pea pehē ʻe Saula, Mou vahevahe ʻakimoutolu ʻo ʻalu ki he kakai, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻomi kiate au taki taha ʻae tangata ʻene pulu, mo e tangata taki taha ʻene sipi, ʻo tāmateʻi ʻi heni, pea kai; pea ʻoua naʻa fai angahala kia Sihova ʻi hoʻomou kai mo e toto.” Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he tangata taki taha kotoa pē ʻi he pō ko ia ʻa ʻene pulu pea tāmateʻi ia ʻi ai.
35And Saul built an altar to the LORD; it was the first altar that he built to the LORD.
35Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Saula ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova; pea ko e ʻuluaki feilaulauʻanga ia naʻa ne langa kia Sihova.
36Then Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night and plunder them until the morning light; let us not leave a man of them.” And they said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” But the priest said, “Let us draw near to God here.”
36Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula, “Ke tau ʻalu hifo ʻo tuli poʻuli ki he kakai Filisitia ʻo maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki he maʻa ʻae ʻaho, pea ʻoua naʻa tau tuku ke toe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha.” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ke ke fai ʻaia ʻoku mata lelei kiate koe.” Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki, “Ke tau ʻunuʻunu atu ni ki he ʻOtua.”
37And Saul inquired of God, “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you give them into the hand of Israel?” But he did not answer him that day.
37Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻa Saula ki he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “ʻE lelei ʻeku ʻalu hifo ʻo tuli ki he kau Filisitia?” Pea te ke tuku ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo ʻIsileli? Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne talia ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
38And Saul said, “Come here, all you leaders of the people, and know and see how this sin has arisen today.
38Pea pehē ʻe Saula, “Mou ʻunuʻunu mai ki heni ʻae kau matāpule kotoa pē ʻoe kakai: pea mou ʻilo ʻo vakai pe kuo tau angahala ʻi he ha nai he ʻaho ni.
39For as the LORD lives who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.
39Koeʻuhi, hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻoku ne fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli, kapau ʻoku ʻi hoku foha ko Sonatane ko e moʻoni ʻe mate ia.” Ka naʻe ʻikai ai ha tangata ʻi he kakai kotoa pē naʻe lea kiate ia.
40Then he said to all Israel, “You shall be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” And the people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”
40Pea pehē ʻe ia ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē, “Ke ʻi he potu ʻe taha kimoutolu, pea ko au mo hoku foha ko Sonatane te ma ʻi he potu ʻe taha.” Pea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē kia Saula, “Ke ke fai ʻaia ʻoku mata lelei kiate koe.”
41Therefore Saul said, “O LORD God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? If this guilt is in me or in Jonathan my son, O LORD, God of Israel, give Urim. But if this guilt is in your people Israel, give Thummim.” And Jonathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped.
41Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Saula kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, “Fakahā ʻae tonuhia. Pea naʻe moʻua ʻa Saula mo Sonatane, ka naʻe hao ʻae kakai”
42Then Saul said, “Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan.” And Jonathan was taken.
42Pea pehē ʻe Saula, “Fai ʻae talotalo koeʻuhi ko au mo hoku foha ko Sonatane. Pea naʻe moʻua ʻa Sonatane.”
43Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” And Jonathan told him, “I tasted a little honey with the tip of the staff that was in my hand. Here I am; I will die.”
43Pea pehē ʻe Saula kia Sonatane, “Fakahā mai pe ko e hā ia kuo ke fai.” Pea talaange ʻe Sonatane kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Naʻaku kamata pe ki he hone siʻi ʻaki ʻae muʻa tokotoko naʻe ʻi hoku nima, pea vakai, te u mate ai.”
44And Saul said, “God do so to me and more also; you shall surely die, Jonathan.”
44Pea pehē ʻe Saula kiate ia, “Ke fai pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au mo lahi hake foki: he ko e moʻoni te ke mate Sonatane.”
45Then the people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day.” So the people ransomed Jonathan, so that he did not die.
45Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kia Saula, “ʻE mate ʻa Sonatane, ʻaia kuo ne fai ʻae fakamoʻui lahi pehē ni ʻi ʻIsileli? Ke taʻofi ʻe he ʻOtua: hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova,” ʻe ʻikai tō ki he kelekele hano tuʻoni louʻulu ʻe taha; he naʻe ngāue ia mo e ʻOtua he ʻaho ni. Ko ia naʻe fakahaofi ʻa Sonatane ʻe he kakai, ke ʻoua naʻa mate ia.
46Then Saul went up from pursuing the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own place.
46Pea naʻe tuku ʻe Saula ʻene tuli ʻae kau Filisitia; pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau Filisitia ki honau potu ʻonautolu.
47When Saul had taken the kingship over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, against the Ammonites, against Edom, against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned he routed them.
47Ko ia naʻe lavaʻi ʻe Saula ʻae puleʻanga ki ʻIsileli, pea tauʻi hono ngaahi fili ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻo Moape, pea ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea ki ʻItomi, pea ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Sopa, pea ki he kakai Filisitia: pea ko e potu naʻa ne tafoki ʻo ʻalu ki ai naʻa ne fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi ai.
48And he did valiantly and struck the Amalekites and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them.
48Pea naʻe fakakātoa ʻae tau, pea taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻAmaleki, pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli mei he nima ʻokinautolu naʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu.
49Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchi-shua. And the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn was Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
49Pea ko eni ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Saula, ko Sonatane, mo Isui, mo Malikisua: pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono ongo ʻofefine, ko Melapi ko e ʻuluaki ia, mo Mikali ko e kimui ia:
50And the name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the commander of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
50Pea ko e hingoa ʻoe ʻunoho ʻo Saula ko ʻAhinoami, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻAhimeasi: pea ko e hingoa ʻoe ʻeiki ʻo ʻene tau ko ʻApina, ko e foha ʻo Nea, ko e tuʻasina ʻo Saula.
51Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
51Pea ko e tamai ʻa Saula ʻa Kisi; pea ko Nea ko e tamai ʻa ʻApina, ko e foha ia ʻo ʻApieli.
52There was hard fighting against the Philistines all the days of Saul. And when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he attached him to himself.
52Pea naʻe fai ʻae tau fakamamahi ki he kakai Filisitia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Saula: pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Saula ki ha tangata mālohi, mo ha tangata toʻa, naʻa ne fili ia maʻana.
