2 Samuel 1
1 Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
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;
2 It came even to pass on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and [so] it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
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.
3 And David said to him, From whence comest thou? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel have I escaped.
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.”
4 And David said to him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen, and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
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.”
5 And David said to the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
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?”
6 And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
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.
7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. And I answered, Here [am] I.
Pea ʻi heʻene sio ki mui, naʻa ne mamata kiate au, ʻo ne ui kiate au. Pea naʻaku pehē ʻe au, ‘Ko au eni.’
8 And he said to me, Who [art] thou? And I answered him, I [am] an Amalekite.
Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, ‘Ko hai koe?’ Pea naʻaku pehē kiate ia, ‘Ko e tangata ʻAmaleki au.’
9 He said to me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life [is] yet whole in me.
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.’
10 So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he had fallen: and I took the crown that [was] upon his head, and the bracelet that [was] on his arm, and have brought them hither to my lord.
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.
11 Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that [were] with him:
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:
12 And they mourned and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they had fallen by the sword.
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.
13 And David said to the young man that told him, Whence [art] thou? And he answered, I [am] the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
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.”
14 And David said to him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?
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?”
15 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, [and] fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
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.
16 And David said to him, Thy blood [be] upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD'S anointed.
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.”
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son:
Pea naʻe tēngihia ʻe Tevita ʻa Saula, pea mo hono foha ko Sonatane, ʻi he tangilāulau ko eni:
18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah [the use of] the bow: behold, [it is] written in the book of Jasher.)
(Naʻa ne fekau foki ke nau akoʻi ʻae fānau ʻa Siuta ke ngāueʻaki ʻae kaufana: vakai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻa Sesa.)
19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
“Kuo tāmateʻi ʻae toulekeleka, ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi hoʻo ngaahi potu māʻolunga: ʻOiauē, kuo hinga ʻae kau tangata mālohi!
20 Tell [it] not in Gath, publish [it] not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
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.
21 Ye mountains of Gilboa, [let there be] no dew, neither rain upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, [as though he had] not [been] anointed with oil.
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.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
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.
23 Saul and Jonathan [were] lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
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.
24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with [other] delights, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
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.
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan [thou wast] slain in thy high places.
ʻOiauē, ʻae hinga ki lalo ʻae kau mālohi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe tau! ʻE Sonatane naʻe tāmateʻi koe ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻoʻou.
26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been to me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
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.
27 How have the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
ʻOiauē, he kuo tō ki lalo ʻae kau mālohi, kuo fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi mahafu ʻoe tau!”
