1 Samuela 30
1Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid against the Negeb and against Ziklag. They had overcome Ziklag and burned it with fire
1PEA kuo hoko ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata ki Sikilaki ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho, pea pehē, naʻe tauʻi ʻe he kakai ʻAmaleki ʻae potu tonga, mo Sikilaki, pea kuo taaʻi ʻa Sikilaki, pea tutu ʻaki ʻae afi.
2and taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They killed no one, but carried them off and went their way.
2Pea kuo nau maʻu fakapōpula ʻae kau fefine naʻe ʻi ai: naʻe ʻikai tenau tāmateʻi ha tokotaha, ʻae lahi pe ko e siʻi, ka naʻa nau fetuku ʻakinautolu ʻo ʻave, pea ʻalu ʻi honau hala.
3And when David and his men came to the city, they found it burned with fire, and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive.
3Pea naʻe hoko ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata ki he kolo, pea vakai, kuo tutu ia ʻaki ʻae afi, pea kuo ʻave fakapōpula honau ngaahi ʻunoho, mo ʻenau ngaahi fānau.
4Then David and the people who were with him raised their voices and wept until they had no more strength to weep.
4Pea ko Tevita mo e kakai naʻe ʻiate ia naʻa nau hiki honau leʻo ʻo tangi, pea naʻa nau tangi ai pe ʻonau vaivai.
5David’s two wives also had been taken captive, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel.
5Pea kuo maʻu fakapōpula ʻae ongo ʻunoho ʻo Tevita, ʻa ʻAhinoami ko e fefine Sesilili, mo ʻApikale naʻe ʻunoho mo Napale ko e tangata Kameli.
6And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
6Pea naʻe mamahi lahi ʻa Tevita; he naʻe alea ʻae kakai ke tolongaki ia ʻaki ʻae maka, koeʻuhi kuo mamahi lahi ʻaupito ʻae loto ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, ʻo taki taha ʻae tangata ki hono ngaahi foha, pea ki hono ngaahi ʻofefine: ka naʻe fakafiemālieʻi ia ʻe Tevita ʻia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua.
7And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring me the ephod.” So Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
7Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻApiata ko e taulaʻeiki, ko e foha ʻo ʻAhimeleki, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻomi ki heni ʻae ʻefoti.” Pea ʻomi ki ai ʻe ʻApiata ʻae ʻefoti kia Tevita.
8And David inquired of the LORD, “Shall I pursue after this band? Shall I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake and shall surely rescue.”
8Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Te u tuli ki he kau tau? Te u maʻu ʻakinautolu?” Pea naʻe tala pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Tuli: ko e moʻoni te ke maʻu ʻakinautolu, pea ko e moʻoni te ke toe maʻu kotoa pē .”
9So David set out, and the six hundred men who were with him, and they came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
9Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Tevita, ʻaia mo e kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻonau hoko ki he vaitafe ko Pisoa, ʻaia naʻe nofo ki ai ʻakinautolu naʻe tuku kimui.
10But David pursued, he and four hundred men. Two hundred stayed behind, who were too exhausted to cross the brook Besor.
10Pea naʻe tuli ʻakinautolu ʻe Tevita, ʻaia mo e kau tangata ʻe toko fāngeau: he naʻe nofo kimui ʻae toko uangeau, ʻaia naʻa nau vaivai lahi ʻo ʻikai tenau faʻa lava ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻi Pisoa.
11They found an Egyptian in the open country and brought him to David. And they gave him bread and he ate. They gave him water to drink,
11Pea naʻa nau ʻilo ʻae tangata ʻIsipite ʻi he ngoue, ʻonau ʻomi ia kia Tevita, pea ne ʻatu kiate ia ʻae mā, pea ne kai pea nau fakainu ia ʻi he vai.
12and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. And when he had eaten, his spirit revived, for he had not eaten bread or drunk water for three days and three nights.
12Pea naʻa nau tuku kiate ia ʻae konga fiki naʻe natu; mo e fuhi kālepi mōmoa ʻe ua: pea hili ʻene kai, naʻe toe haʻu hono laumālie kiate ia: he naʻe ʻikai kai ʻe ia ha mā, pe inu ha vai, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu mo e pō ʻe tolu.
13And David said to him, “To whom do you belong? And where are you from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite, and my master left me behind because I fell sick three days ago.
13Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kiate ia, “ʻOku ke kau koe mo hai? Pea ʻoku haʻu mei fē koe?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e tangata talavou au mei ʻIsipite, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae tangata ʻAmaleki; pea naʻe liʻaki au ʻe heʻeku ʻeiki ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu kuo hili ko e meʻa ʻi he tuia ʻa hoku mahaki.”
14We had made a raid against the Negeb of the Cherethites and against that which belongs to Judah and against the Negeb of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
14Naʻa mau hoko atu ʻo tauʻi ʻae potu tonga ʻo Keliti, pea ki he potu ʻoku ʻia Siuta, pea ki he potu tonga ʻo Kelepi pea mau tutu ʻa Sikilaki ʻaki ʻae afi.
15And David said to him, “Will you take me down to this band?” And he said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will take you down to this band.”
15Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kiate ia, “ʻOku ke faʻa ʻave au ki he kakai ko ia? Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Fuakava kiate au ʻi he ʻOtua ʻe ʻikai te ke tāmateʻi au, pe tukuange au ki he nima ʻo hoku ʻeiki, pea te u ʻave koe ki he kakai ni.”
16And when he had taken him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the land, eating and drinking and dancing, because of all the great spoil they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.
16Pea ʻi heʻene ʻomi ia ki ai, vakai, kuo nau nofo mafola atu mamaʻo ʻi he funga kelekele kotoa pē, ʻoku nau kai mo inu, mo meʻe, ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi vete lahi kuo nau maʻu mei he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea mei he fonua ʻo Siuta.
17And David struck them down from twilight until the evening of the next day, and not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who mounted camels and fled.
17Pea naʻe teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻe Tevita mei he hengihengi ʻo aʻu atu ki he efiafi ʻoe ʻaho naʻa na feholoi: pea naʻe ʻikai hao ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻokinautolu, ka ko e kau talavou ʻe toko fāngeau naʻe heka ʻi he fanga kāmeli naʻe hola.
18David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
18Pea naʻe toe maʻu kotoa pē ʻe Tevita ʻaia naʻe fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻe he kakai ʻAmaleki: pea naʻe toe fakahaofi ʻe Tevita hono ongo ʻunoho.
19Nothing was missing, whether small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that had been taken. David brought back all.
19Pea naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa kuo mole ʻiate kinautolu, ʻi he meʻa siʻi, pe ʻi he meʻa lahi, pe ʻi he ngaahi foha, pe ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine, pe ʻi he koloa vete, pe ha meʻa ʻe taha naʻa nau toʻo kiate kinautolu naʻe maʻu kotoa pē ʻe Tevita.
20David also captured all the flocks and herds, and the people drove the livestock before him, and said, “This is David’s spoil.”
20Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi fanga manu siʻi mo e fanga manu lahi, ʻaia naʻa nau tekeʻi muʻomuʻa ʻi he ngaahi fanga manu lalahi niʻihi, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko eni ʻae vete ʻa Tevita.”
21Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow David, and who had been left at the brook Besor. And they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people he greeted them.
21Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Tevita ki he kau tangata ʻe toko uangeau ʻaia ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau vaivai naʻe ʻikai tenau faʻa muimui ʻia Tevita, ʻakinautolu naʻa nau pule ke nofo ʻi he vaitafe ko Pisoa: pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu ke fakafetaulaki kia Tevita, pea kenau fakafetaulaki ki he kakai naʻe ʻiate ia: pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Tevita ʻo ofi ki he kakai, naʻe feʻiloaki ʻofa ia mo kinautolu.
22Then all the wicked and worthless fellows among the men who had gone with David said, “Because they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we have recovered, except that each man may lead away his wife and children, and depart.”
22Pea naʻe lea ai ʻae kau tangata kovi kotoa pē mo e kakai anga fakamaveuveu, ʻio, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻalu mo Tevita, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai siʻi tenau ʻalu mo kimautolu, ʻe ʻikai ai te mau ʻatu kiate kinautolu ha meʻa siʻi ʻi he vete ni kuo mau toe maʻu ni, kae ʻatu taki taha ki he tangata hono ʻunoho, mo ʻene fānau, koeʻuhi ke ne tataki ia ʻo ʻave, pea ʻalu ai.”
23But David said, “You shall not do so, my brothers, with what the LORD has given us. He has preserved us and given into our hand the band that came against us.
23Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻE hoku kāinga, ʻe ʻikai te mou fai pehē, ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kitautolu, ʻaia kuo ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu, pea fakahaofi ʻakitautolu mei he kakai naʻe haʻu ke tauʻi ʻakitautolu ʻi hotau fonua.
24Who would listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down into the battle, so shall his share be who stays by the baggage. They shall share alike.”
24He ko hai ia ʻe tokanga kiate kimoutolu ʻi he meʻa ni? Kae hangē ko e ʻinasi ʻo ia ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he tau, ʻe pehē pe ʻae ʻinasi ʻo ia ʻoku tatali ʻo leʻohi ʻae ngaʻotoʻota: tenau ʻinasi tatau pe.”
25And he made it a statute and a rule for Israel from that day forward to this day.
25Pea talu ʻae ʻaho ko ia ʻo fai kimui naʻa ne fokotuʻu ia ko e fono mo e tuʻutuʻuni maʻa ʻIsileli ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
26When David came to Ziklag, he sent part of the spoil to his friends, the elders of Judah, saying, “Here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the LORD.”
26Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Tevita ki Sikilaki, naʻe fekau ʻe ia ke ʻatu ʻae koloa vete ki he kau mātuʻa ʻo Siuta, ʻio, ki hono ngaahi kāinga, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ko e meʻaʻofa maʻamoutolu ʻi he vete mei he ngaahi fili ʻo Sihova;”
27It was for those in Bethel, in Ramoth of the Negeb, in Jattir,
27Kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Peteli, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Lemoti ʻi he potu tonga, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Satili,
28in Aroer, in Siphmoth, in Eshtemoa,
28Pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi ʻAloeli, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Sifimoti, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi ʻEsitemoa,
29in Racal, in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, in the cities of the Kenites,
29Pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Lakali, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻae kakai Selamili, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻoe kakai Kena,
30in Hormah, in Bor-ashan, in Athach,
30Pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Hoama, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Kolasani, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi ʻAtaki,
31in Hebron, for all the places where David and his men had roamed.
31Pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻi Hepeloni, pea ki he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe faʻa ʻāunofo ki ai ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata.
