2 Samuel 21
1 And a famine occurred, during the days of David, for three years continuously. And David consulted the oracle of the Lord. And the Lord said: “This is because of Saul, and his house of bloodshed. For he killed the Gibeonites.”
Hili ia naʻe ai ʻae honge ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Tevita ʻi he ngaahi taʻu tukufakaholo; pea naʻe fakafehuʻi ʻe Tevita kia Sihova. Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe Sihova, “Ko e meʻa ʻeni ʻia Saula, pea koeʻuhi ko hono fale kuo pani toto, he naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae kakai Kipione.”
2 Therefore, the king, calling for the Gibeonites, spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but were the remnant of the Amorites. And the sons of Israel had sworn an oath to them, but Saul wished to strike them in zeal, as if on behalf of the sons of Israel and Judah.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe he tuʻi ki he kakai Kipione, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu: (ka ko eni naʻe ʻikai ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae kakai Kipione, ka ko e toenga ʻoe kau ʻAmoli; pea kuo fefuakavaʻaki mo kinautolu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻe kumi ʻe Saula ke tāmateʻi kinautolu ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fai velenga ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mo Siuta.)
3 Therefore, David said to the Gibeonites: “What shall I do for you? And what shall be your satisfaction, so that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord?”
Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Tevita ki he kau Kipione, “Ko e hā te u fai maʻamoutolu? Pea te u fai ʻaki ʻae hā ʻae fakalelei, koeʻuhi ke mou tāpuakiʻi ʻae tofiʻa ʻo Sihova?”
4 And the Gibeonites said to him: “There is no quarrel for us over silver or gold, but against Saul and against his house. And we do not desire that any man of Israel be put to death.” The king said to them, “Then what do you wish that I should do for you?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai Kipione kiate ia, “ʻE ʻikai te mau maʻu ha siliva pe ha koula meia Saula pe mei hono fale; pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tāmateʻi ha tangata ʻi ʻIsileli koeʻuhi ko kimautolu.” Pea naʻe talaange ʻe ia, “Ko e meʻa te mou lea ki ai, ko ia pe te u fai maʻamoutolu.”
5 And they said to the king: “The man who unjustly afflicted and oppressed us, we ought to destroy in such manner that not even one of his stock may be left behind in all the parts of Israel.
Pea naʻa nau pehēange ki he tuʻi, “ʻIlonga ʻae tangata ʻaia naʻe keina kimautolu, pea naʻa ne fakakaukau ke tuʻusi mo fakaʻauha kimautolu ke ʻoua naʻa mau kei nofo ʻi ha potu fonua ʻo ʻIsileli,
6 Let seven men from his sons be given to us, so that we may crucify them to the Lord in Gibeon of Saul, formerly the chosen place of the Lord.” And the king said, “I will give them.”
Tuku ke ʻomi kiate kimautolu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitu mei hono ngaahi foha ʻoʻona, pea te mau tautau kinautolu kia Sihova ʻi Kipea ʻo Saula, ʻaia naʻe fili ʻe Sihova.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Te u ʻatu [ʻakinautolu].”
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord which had been made between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul.
Ka naʻe fakahaofi ʻe he tuʻi ʻa Mifiposeti, ko e foha ʻo Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Saula, koeʻuhi ko e fuakava ʻia Sihova naʻe ʻiate kinaua ʻaia naʻe fefaiʻaki ʻe Tevita mo Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Saula.
8 And so the king took the two sons of Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal, the daughter of Saul, whom she conceived of Adriel, the son of Barzillai, who was from Meholath,
Ka naʻe ʻave ʻe he tuʻi ʻae ongo tama ʻa Lisipa ko e taʻahine ʻa ʻAia, ʻaia naʻa ne fānau kia Saula, ko ʻAlamoni pea mo Mifiposeti; pea mo e tama ʻe toko nima ʻo Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula, ʻaia naʻa ne fanauʻi kia ʻAtilili ko e foha ʻo Pasilai ko e tangata Mihola:
9 and he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites. And they crucified them on a hill in the sight of the Lord. And these seven fell together in the first days of the harvest, when the barley is beginning to be reaped.
Pea naʻa ne tukuange kinautolu ki he nima ʻoe kakai Kipione, pea naʻa nau tautau ʻakinautolu ʻi he moʻunga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe tō hifo fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe toko fitu, pea naʻe tāmateʻi kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ututaʻu, ʻi he ngaahi ʻuluaki ʻaho, ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe utu ʻae paʻale.
10 Then Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, taking a haircloth, spread it under herself on a rock, from the beginning of the harvest until water dropped from heaven upon them. And she did not permit the birds to tear them by day, nor the beasts by night.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻae tauangaʻa ʻe Lisipa ko e taʻahine ʻo ʻAia, mo ne folofolahi ia maʻana ʻi he funga maka, talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻoe ututaʻu ʻo aʻu ki heʻene tō hifo ʻae vai ki ai mei he langi, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻae fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā ke tuʻu ki ai ʻi he ʻaho, pe ko e fanga manu ʻoe fonua ʻi he pō.
11 And it was reported to David what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
Pea naʻe tala kia Tevita ʻae meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Lisipa koe taʻahine ʻo ʻAia koe sinifu ʻo Saula.
12 And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had suspended them after they had slain Saul at Gilboa.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Tevita ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae ngaahi hui ʻo Saula, pea mo e ngaahi hui ʻo Sonatane ko hono foha, mei he kakai ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻave fakafufū ia mei he hala ʻi Pete-Sani, ʻaia naʻe tautau ia ʻi ai ʻe he kakai Filisitia, hili ʻae tāmateʻi ʻa Saula ʻe he kau Filisitia ʻi Kilipoa:
13 And he brought the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, from there. And they collected the bones of those who had been crucified.
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi mei ai ʻae ngaahi hui ʻo Saula, mo e ngaahi hui ʻo Sonatane ko hono foha; pea naʻa nau tānaki ʻae ngaahi hui ʻonautolu naʻe tautau.
14 And they buried them with the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan, in the land of Benjamin, to the side of the sepulcher of his father Kish. And they did all that the king had instructed. And after these things, God showed favor again to the land.
Pea naʻa nau tanu ʻae ngaahi hui ʻo Saula mo Sonatane ko hono foha ʻi he fonua ʻo Penisimani ʻi Sela, ki he faʻitoka ʻo Kisi ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻa nau fai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fekauʻi ʻe he tuʻi. Pea hili ia naʻe ongongofua ʻae ʻOtua[ki he kole ]koeʻuhi ko e fonua.
15 Then the Philistines again undertook a battle against Israel. And David descended, and his servants with him, and they fought against the Philistines. But when David grew faint,
Ka ko eni foki naʻe toe fai ʻae tau ki ʻIsileli ʻe he kakai Filisitia; pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Tevita, pea mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki mo ia, [ʻonau ]tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia, pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ke vaivai ʻa Tevita.
16 Ishbibenob, who was of the ancestry of Arapha, the iron of whose spear weighed three hundred ounces, who had been girded with a new sword, strove to strike down David.
Pea ko Isipo-Pinopi, ko e tokotaha ʻi he fānau ʻa Lafa, ʻaia naʻe tatau ʻae mamafa ʻo hono mui tao mo e [sikeli ]palasa ʻe tolungeau, kuo ʻai ʻe ia ha mahafu foʻou, pea naʻa ne ʻamanaki ke tāmateʻi ʻa Tevita.
17 And Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, defended him, and striking the Philistine, he killed him. Then David’s men swore an oath to him, saying, “You shall no longer go out to war with us, lest you extinguish the lamp of Israel.”
Ka naʻe tokoni kiate ia ʻe ʻApisai ko e tama ʻo Seluia, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻae tangata Filisitia, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia. Pea naʻe toki fuakava ʻae kau tangata ʻo Tevita kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai siʻi te ke toe ʻalu atu mo kimautolu ki he tau, telia naʻa ke fuʻifuʻi ʻae maama ʻo ʻIsileli.”
18 Also, a second war occurred in Gob against the Philistines. Then Sibbecai from Hushah struck down Saph, from the stock of Arapha, of the ancestry of the giants.
Pea hili foki eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe toe fai ʻae tau mo e kakai Filisitia ʻi Kopo: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻa Safi ʻaia naʻe ʻoe fānau ʻa Lafa ʻe Sipikei ko e tangata Husati.
19 Then there was a third war in Gob against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus, a son of the forest, a weaver from Bethlehem, struck down Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like the beam used by a cloth maker.
Pea naʻe toe ai mo e tau ʻi Kopo ki he kakai Filisitia, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ai ʻe Elihanani ko e foha ʻo Saele-Olikimi, ko e tangata Petelihema, ʻae tehina ʻo Koloaʻia ko e tangata Kati ʻaia naʻe tatau ʻae kau ʻo hono tao mo e ʻakau ʻoe tangata lalanga.
20 A fourth battle was in Gath. In that place, there was a lofty man, who had six digits on each hand and each foot, that is, twenty-four in all, and he was from the origins of Arapha.
Pea naʻe toe fai mo e tau ʻe taha ʻi Kati, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ha tangata naʻe sino lōloa, ʻaia naʻe maʻu ʻae louhiʻi nima ʻe ono ʻi hono nima fakatouʻosi, pea ʻi hono vaʻe fakatouʻosi ʻae louhiʻi vaʻe ʻe ono, ko hono lau fakataha ko e uofulu ma fā; pea naʻe fanauʻi foki ia kia Lafa.
21 And he blasphemed Israel. So Jonathan, the son of Shimei, the brother of David, struck him down.
Pea ʻi heʻene manuki ki ʻIsileli naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Simia ko e tokoua ʻo Tevita.
22 These four men were born of Arapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and his servants.
Naʻe fanauʻi ʻae toko fā ni ki he fuʻu tangata lahi ʻi Kati, pea naʻa nau tō ki lalo ʻi he nima ʻo Tevita, pea mo e nima ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
