1 Chronicles 11
1 Then all of Israel was gathered to David at Hebron, saying: “We are your bone and your flesh.
Hili ia naʻe fakataha ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa kia Tevita ki Hepeloni, mo nau pehē, “Vakai, ko ho hui ʻoʻou ʻakimautolu mo ho kakano ʻoʻou.
2 Also, yesterday and the day before, when Saul still reigned, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel. For the Lord your God said to you: ‘You shall pasture my people Israel, and you shall be the leader over them.’”
Kaeʻumaʻā foki ʻae ngaahi ʻaho kuo hili ange, ʻio, lolotonga ʻae kei tuʻi ʻa Saula, ko koe ia naʻe taki atu mo toe ʻomi ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻe pehē kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ‘Te ke fafanga ʻe koe ʻa hoku kakai ʻIsileli, pea te ke pule ʻe koe ki hoku kakai ʻIsileli.’”
3 Therefore, all those greater by birth of Israel went to the king at Hebron. And David formed a pact with them before the Lord. And they anointed him king over Israel, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Samuel.
Ko ia naʻe fakataha ai ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ki he tuʻi ki Hepeloni; pea naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ha fuakava mo kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi Hepeloni, pea naʻa nau pani ʻa Tevita ʻaki ʻae lolo ke ne tuʻi ki ʻIsileli, ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻia Samuela.
4 Then David and all of Israel went to Jerusalem. The same is Jebus, where the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Tevita mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki Selūsalema, ʻa ia [ʻoku ui ]ko Sepusi; ko e potu naʻe nofo ai ʻae kakai Sepusi, ko e kakai ʻoe fonua.
5 And those who were living in Jebus said to David: “You shall not enter here.” But David seized the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai ʻo Sepusi kia Tevita, “ʻE ʻikai te ke hoko mai ki heni.” Ka neongo ia naʻe kapasia ʻe Tevita ʻae kolotau ʻo Saione, ʻa ia [ʻoku ui ]ko e “Kolo ʻo Tevita.”
6 And he said, “Whoever shall strike the Jebusites first, shall be ruler and commander.” And so Joab, the son of Zeruiah, ascended first, and he was made the leader.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “Ko ia ʻe tomuʻa teʻia ʻae kakai Sepusi, ʻe hoko ia ko e tuʻukimuʻa mo e ʻeiki pule.” Pea pehē, naʻe tomuʻa hoko hake ʻa Soape ko e tama ʻo Seluia, pea naʻe hoko ai ia ko e ʻeiki pule.
7 Then David lived in the stronghold, and for this reason it was called the City of David.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa Tevita ki he kolotau; pea ko ia naʻe ui ai ia ko e Kolo ʻo Tevita.
8 And he built up the city all around, from Millo even to every side. But Joab built the rest of the city.
Pea naʻa ne langa hake ʻae kolo ʻo takatakai hake, ʻio, mei Milo ʻo tākai hake: pea naʻe toe langa foʻou ʻe Soape ʻa hono toe ʻoe kolo.
9 And David continued advancing and increasing, and the Lord of hosts was with him.
Naʻe pehē ʻae fakaʻaʻau ʻa Tevita ke lahi mo lahi hake ʻaupito: he naʻe kau kiate ia ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
10 These are the leaders of the strong men of David, who assisted him, so that he would become king over all of Israel, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Israel.
Ko kinautolu eni foki ʻae kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he kau tangata mālohi lahi ʻaia naʻe maʻu ʻe Tevita, ʻakinautolu naʻe kau mālohi mo ia ʻi hono puleʻanga, pea mo ʻIsileli kātoa, koeʻuhi ke ne hoko ko e tuʻi, ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe kau ki ʻIsileli.
11 And this is the number of the robust of David: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, leader among the thirty. He lifted up his spear over three hundred, who were wounded at one time.
Pea ko eni ʻa hono lau hake ʻoe kau tangata mālohi lahi naʻe maʻu ʻe Tevita: ko Sasopiami ko e tangata ʻAkimoni, ko e tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻeikitau: naʻa ne hiki hake ia ʻa hono tao ke tauʻi ʻae “Toko Tolungeau” naʻe tāmate ʻe ia ʻi he ʻaho pe taha.
12 And after him, there was Eleazar, the son of his uncle, an Ahohite, who was among the three powerful ones.
Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa ʻEliesa ko e foha ʻo Toto, ko e tangata ʻAhoi, ʻaia ko e taha ia ʻi he “Toko Tolu” naʻe mālohi lahi.
13 He was with David in Pasdammim, when the Philistines were gathered to that place for battle. Now the field of that region was full of barley, but the people had fled from the face of the Philistines.
Naʻe ʻia Tevita ia ʻi Pasi-Tamemi, pea naʻe fakataha ʻi ai ʻae kakai Filisitia ki he tau, pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae potu ngoue naʻe fonu ʻi he paʻale; pea naʻe feholaki ʻae kakai mei he ʻao ʻoe kau Filisitia.
14 These men stood in the midst of the field, and they defended it. And when they had struck down the Philistines, the Lord gave a great salvation to his people.
Pea naʻa nau malumu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe potu fonua ko ia, mo nau fakahaofi ia, mo tāmateʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia; pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ʻi he fakamoʻui lahi.
15 Then three from the thirty leaders descended to the rock where David was, to the cave of Adullam, when the Philistines had made camp in the Valley of the Rephaim.
Pea ko eni, naʻe ʻalu hifo ki he maka kia Tevita ʻi he ʻanaʻi maka ko ʻAtulami ʻae toko tolu ʻoe ngaahi ʻeikitau ʻe toko tolungofulu; ka naʻe nofo ʻae kautau ʻoe kakai Filisitia ki he potu talalo ʻo Lefeimi.
16 Now David was in a stronghold, and a garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem.
Pea ko e kuonga ia naʻe nofo ai ʻa Tevita ki he kolo mālohi, pea ko e kolotau ʻoe kakai Filisitia naʻe ʻi Petelihema ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
17 And then David desired and said, “O if only someone would give me water from the well of Bethlehem, which is at the gate!”
Pea naʻe holi feinga pe ʻa Tevita, ʻo ne pehē, “Taumaiā ke ʻomi ʻe ha tokotaha kiate au haʻaku inu mei he vai ʻoe vaikeli ʻi Petelihema, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he veʻematapā!”
18 Therefore, these three broke through to the midst of the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water from the well of Bethlehem, which was at the gate. And they took it to David, so that he might drink. But he was not willing; and instead, he offered it as a libation to the Lord,
Pea naʻe ʻasi atu ʻe he toko tolu ko ia ʻi he kautau ʻoe kakai Filisitia, mo nau ʻutu hake ʻae vai mei he vaikeli ʻo Petelihema, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he veʻematapā, pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻo ʻomi ia kia Tevita: ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi inu ia ʻe Tevita, ka naʻa ne lilingi atu ia kia Sihova,
19 saying: “Far be it from me, that I would do this in the sight of my God, and that I would drink the blood of these men. For at the peril of their own lives, they brought the water to me.” And for this reason, he was not willing to drink. The three most powerful accomplished these things.
Pea ne pehē ʻe ia, “Ke taʻofi au ʻe hoku ʻOtua, ke ʻoua naʻaku fai ha meʻa pehē: he te u inu koā ʻae toto ʻoe kau tangata ni, ʻakinautolu kuo fakatuʻutāmaki ʻenau moʻui?” He ko ʻenau moʻui pe naʻe ʻomi ai ia. Ko ia naʻe ʻikai siʻi te ne inu mei ai. Ko e ngaahi meʻa eni naʻe fai ʻekinautolu ni ko e “Toko Tolu” naʻe mālohi lahi hake.
20 Also, Abishai, the brother of Joab, was the leader of the three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred, who were wounded. And he was most renowned among the three,
Pea ko ʻApisai ko e tokoua ʻo Soape, naʻe ʻeiki hake ia ʻi he “Toko Tolu:” he naʻa ne hiki hake ʻa hono tao ke tauʻi ʻae toko tolungeau, mo ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe lau hono hingoa mo e “Toko Tolu.”
21 and he was famous among the second three and their leader. Yet truly, he did not reach as far as the first three.
ʻI he “Toko Tolu,” naʻe ongoongo hake ia ʻi he toko ua; he ko hona ʻeiki ia: ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai ke hoko hake ia ki he [ʻuluaki ]“Toko Tolu.”
22 Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, from Kabzeel, was a very mature man, who had accomplished many deeds. He struck down the two lions of God from Moab. And he descended and killed a lion in the middle of a pit, in the time of snow.
Ko Penaia ko e foha ʻa Sihoiata, ko e foha ʻoe tangata toʻa mei Kapisieli, ʻaia naʻe ongoongo ʻa ʻene ngaahi meʻa ne fai; naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻe ia ʻae ongo tangata Moape naʻe anga fakalaione: pea naʻa ne ʻalu hifo ki ha luo ʻo ne tāmate ai ha laione ʻi he ʻaho naʻe tō ai ʻae ʻuha hinehina.
23 And he struck down an Egyptian man, whose stature was five cubits, and who had a spear like a weaver’s beam. And yet he descended to him with a staff. And he seized the spear that he was holding in his hand. And he killed him with his own spear.
Pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ha tangata ʻIsipite, ko e tangata naʻe fuʻu sino ʻaupito, ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ʻa hono māʻolunga; pea naʻe toʻo ʻe he tangata ʻIsipite ʻi hono nima ha tao naʻe hangē ko e ʻakau ʻoe tangata lalanga tupenu; pea naʻa ne ʻalu hifo kiate ia mo e tokotoko pe mone hamusi mai ʻae tao mei he nima ʻoe tangata ʻIsipite, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia ʻaki ʻa ʻene tao ʻaʻana.
24 These things were done by Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who was most renowned among the three robust ones,
Ko e ngaahi meʻa eni naʻe fai ʻe Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sihoiata, pea naʻe lau hono hingoa fakataha mo e toko tolu mālohi.
25 the first among the thirty. Yet truly, he did not reach as far as the three. Then David placed him beside his ear.
Vakai, naʻe ongoongo ia ʻi he toko tolungofulu, ka naʻe ʻikai hoko hake ia ki he [ʻuluaki ]“Toko Tolu:” pea naʻe tuku ia ʻe Tevita ke pule ki hono kau tangata leʻo.
26 Moreover, the strongest men of the army were Asahel, the brother of Joab; and Elhanan, the son of his uncle, from Bethlehem;
