2 Samuel 19
1 And it is declared to Joab, “Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom”;
Pea naʻe fakahā kia Soape, “Vakai, ʻoku tangi mo mamahi ʻae tuʻi koeʻuhi ko ʻApisalomi.”
2 and the salvation on that day becomes mourning to all the people, for the people have heard on that day, saying, “The king has been grieved for his son.”
Pea ko e fakamoʻui ʻoe ʻaho ko ia naʻe liliu ia ko e fakamamahi ki he kakai kotoa pē: he naʻe fanongo ʻe he kakai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ki he mamahi ʻoe tuʻi koeʻuhi ko hono ʻalo.
3 And the people steals away, on that day, to go into the city, as the people steal away, who are ashamed, in their fleeing in battle;
Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻalu fakatoitoi pe ʻae kakai ki he kolo, ʻo hangē ko e ʻalu fakatoitoi ha kakai ʻi [heʻenau ]mā ʻoka nau ka feholataki ʻi he tau.
4 and the king has covered his face, indeed, the king cries [with] a loud voice, “My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”
Ka naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻe he tuʻi ʻa hono fofonga, pea naʻe tangi ʻaki ʻe he tuʻi ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻOiauē, ʻa hoku foha ko ʻApisalomi, “ʻOiauē ʻApisalomi, ko hoku ʻalo, ko hoku ʻalo!”
5 And Joab comes into the house to the king and says, “Today you have put to shame the faces of all your servants, those delivering your life today, and the life of your sons, and of your daughters, and the life of your wives, and the life of your concubines,
Pea naʻe hau ʻa Soape ki loto fale ki he tuʻi, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo ke fakamaaʻi he ʻaho ni ʻae mata kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia kuo fakahaofi ʻa hoʻo moʻui he ʻaho ni, mo e moʻui ʻa hoʻo ngaahi foha mo hoʻo ngaahi ʻofefine, mo e moʻui ʻa hoʻo ngaahi uaifi, mo e moʻui ʻa hoʻo kau sinifu;
6 to love your enemies, and to hate those loving you, for today you have declared that you have no princes and servants, for today I have known that if Absalom [were] alive, and all of us dead today, that then it were right in your eyes.
Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo ʻofa ki ho ngaahi fili, ka kuo ke fehiʻa ki ho kāinga. He kuo ke fakahā he ʻaho ni ʻoku ʻikai mahuʻinga kiate koe ʻae houʻeiki pe ko e kau tamaioʻeiki: he ʻoku ou mamata he ʻaho ni, ka ne moʻui pe ʻa ʻApisalomi, ke mau mate kotoa pē ʻakimautolu he ʻaho ni, pehē kuo ke lelei ai.
7 And now, rise, go out and speak to the heart of your servants, for I have sworn by YHWH, that [if] you are not going out—there does not lodge a man with you tonight; and this [is] worse for you than all the evil that has come on you from your youth until now.”
Ko ia foki, tuʻu hake, pea ʻalu atu, pea lea fakafiemālie ki he loto ʻo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki: he ʻoku ou fuakava ʻia Sihova kiate koe, kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻalu atu, ʻe ʻikai toe kiate koe ha tokotaha ʻi he poōni: pea ʻe kovi lahi hake ia ʻi he kovi kotoa pē kuo hoko mai kiate koe talu mei hoʻo kei siʻi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.”
8 And the king rises, and sits in the gate, and they have declared to all the people, saying, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate”; and all the people come in before the king, and Israel has fled, each to his tents.
Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ai ʻae tuʻi, ʻo ne ʻafio ʻi he matapā. Pea naʻa nau fakahā ki he kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, kuo ʻafio ʻae tuʻi ʻi he matapā.” Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi: he kuo hola ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli taki taha ki hono fale fehikitaki.
9 And it comes to pass, all the people are contending through all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, indeed, he himself delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines, and now he has fled out of the land because of Absalom,
Pea naʻe fekeʻikeʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻo fepehēʻaki, “Naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu ʻe he tuʻi mei he nima ʻo hotau ngaahi fili, pea naʻa ne fakahaofi ʻakitautolu mei he nima ʻoe kau Filisitia; pea kuo ne hola eni mei he fonua koeʻuhi ko ʻApisalomi.”
10 and Absalom whom we anointed over us [is] dead in battle, and now, why are you silent—to bring back the king?”
Pea ko ʻApisalomi ʻaia naʻa tau fakanofo kiate kitautolu, kuo mate ʻi he tau. Pea ko ia foki ko e hā ʻoku mou taʻelea ai ke toe ʻomi ʻae tuʻi?
11 And King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to [the] elderly of Judah, saying, Why are you last to bring back the king to his house, since the word of all Israel has come to the king, to his house;
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko Tevita kia Satoki mo ʻApiata ko e ongo taulaʻeiki, ʻo ne pehē, “Mo lea ki he mātuʻa ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē, Ko e hā ʻoku mou tomui ai ʻi he toe ʻomi ʻae tuʻi ki hono fale? Ka kuo hā mai ʻae lea ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki he tuʻi ki hono fale.
12 you [are] my brothers, you [are] my bone and my flesh, and why are you last to bring back the king?
Ko hoku kāinga kimoutolu, ko hoku hui mo hoku kakano kimoutolu: ko ia ko e hā ʻoku mou tomui ai ʻi he toe ʻomi ʻae tuʻi?”
13 And say to Amasa, Are you not my bone and my flesh? Thus God does to me, and thus He adds, if you are not head of the host before me instead of Joab [for] all the days.”
Pea mo pehē atu kia ʻAmasa, “ʻIkai ʻoku ke ʻo hoku hui, pea ʻo hoku kakano? Ke fai pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au ʻo lahi hake foki, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻeiki koe ki he kautau ʻi hoku ʻao maʻuaipē, ko e fetongi ʻo Soape.”
14 And he inclines the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, and they send to the king, “Return, you and all your servants.”
Pea naʻa ne ueʻi ʻae loto ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻo hangē kuo[nau ]taha pe; ko ia ne nau ʻave ai ʻae lea ni ki he tuʻi, Ke ke foki mai koe, pea mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē.
15 And the king turns back, and comes to the Jordan, and Judah has come to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan,
Ko ia naʻe foki mai ʻae tuʻi, ʻo ne haʻu ki Sioatani. Pea naʻe haʻu ʻakinautolu ʻo Siuta ki Kilikali, ke fakafetaulaki atu ki he tuʻi, pea ke ʻomi ʻae tuʻi ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.
16 and Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite, who [is] from Bahurim, hurries, and comes down with the men of Judah, to meet King David,
Pea ko Simi ko e foha ʻo Kela, ko e tangata Penisimani, ʻaia naʻe ʻo Pahulimi, naʻa ne ʻalu fakatoʻotoʻo hifo mo e kau tangata ʻo Siuta, ke fetaulaki mo e tuʻi ko Tevita.
17 and one thousand men [are] with him from Benjamin, and Ziba servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, and they have gone prosperously over the Jordan before the king.
Pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae kau tangata Penisimani ʻe toko taha afe, pea mo Sipa ko e tamaioʻeiki mei he fale ʻo Saula, pea mo hono foha ʻoʻona ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko nima, pea mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻe toko uofulu; pea naʻa nau muʻomuʻa atu ʻi he tuʻi ʻi heʻene aʻa ʻi Sioatani.
18 And the ferry-boat has passed over to carry over the household of the king, and to do that which [is] good in his eyes, and Shimei son of Gera has fallen before the king in his passing over into the Jordan,
Pea naʻe ʻalu foki ʻae vaka fokotuʻu ke fetukutuku ai ʻae kaungāʻapi ʻoe tuʻi, pea ke fai ha meʻa naʻe pehē ʻe ia ke fai. Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻa Simi ko e foha ʻo Kela ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ʻi heʻene laka mai mei Sioatani;
19 and he says to the king, “Do not let my lord impute iniquity to me; neither remember that which your servant did perversely in the day that my lord the king went out from Jerusalem—for the king to set [it] to his heart;
ʻo ne pehē ki he tuʻi, “ʻOua naʻa tuku ha hia kiate au ʻe hoku ʻeiki, pea ʻoua foki naʻa ke manatuʻi ʻae meʻa naʻe fai angatuʻu ai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi mei Selūsalema, ke mamahi ai ʻae loto ʻoe tuʻi.
20 for your servant has known that I have sinned; and behold, I have come today, first of all the house of Joseph, to go down to meet my lord the king.”
He ʻoku ʻiloʻi ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki kuo u fai angahala: pea ko ia foki kuo u haʻu ke u muʻomuʻa mai he ʻaho ni ʻi he fale kotoa pē ʻo Siosefa ke u hoko mai ke fakafetaulaki ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi.”
21 And Abishai son of Zeruiah answers and says, “Is Shimei not put to death for this—because he reviled the anointed of YHWH?”
Ka naʻe pehēange ʻe ʻApisai ko e tama ʻa Seluia, “ʻIkai ʻe tāmateʻi ʻa Simi koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni, koeʻuhi ko ʻene lea kapekape kiate ia kuo pani ʻaki ʻae lolo ʻe Sihova?”
22 And David says, “And what do I [have to do] with you, O sons of Zeruiah, that today you are for an adversary to me? Is any man put to death in Israel today? For have I not known that today I [am] king over Israel?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “Ko e hā kimoutolu kiate au, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi tama ʻo Seluia, ke mou hoko ai ko e ngaahi fili kiate au he ʻaho ni? He ʻe tāmateʻi ha tokotaha ʻi ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ni? He ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo koā kuo u tuʻi au he ʻaho ni ki ʻIsileli?”
23 And the king says to Shimei, “You do not die”; and the king swears to him.
Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi kia Simi, “ʻE ʻikai te ke mate. Pea naʻe fuakava ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia.”
24 And Mephibosheth son of Saul has come down to meet the king—and he did not prepare his feet, nor did he prepare his upper lip, indeed, he did not wash his garments, even from the day of the going away of the king, until the day that he came in peace—
Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Mifiposeti ko e foha ʻo Saula ke fetaulaki mo e tuʻi, pea naʻe ʻikai ke kaukau hono vaʻe, pe teuteuʻi hono kava, pe fō hono ngaahi kofu, talu mei he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻae tuʻi, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho naʻa ne toe haʻu ai ʻi he melino.
25 and it comes to pass, when he has come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king says to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hoko mai ki Selūsalema, ke fetaulaki mo e tuʻi, naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “ʻE Mifiposeti, ko e hā naʻe ʻikai te ta ō ai mo au?”
26 And he says, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me, for your servant said, I saddle the donkey for myself, and ride on it, and go with the king, for your servant [is] lame;
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, ko e tuʻi, naʻe kākaaʻi au ʻe hoku tamaioʻeiki: he naʻe pehē ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ‘Te u ʻai ha hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi, koeʻuhi ke u heka ai ʻo ʻalu ki he tuʻi; koeʻuhi ʻoku ketu ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.’
27 and he utters slander against your servant to my lord the king, and my lord the king [is] as a messenger of God; and do that which is good in your eyes,
Pea kuo ne lauʻikoviʻi ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi; ka ʻoku tatau ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi mo ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua: ko ia ke ke fai ʻaia ʻoku matamatalelei kiate koe.
28 for all the house of my father have been nothing except men of death before my lord the king, and you set your servant among those eating at your table, and what right do I have anymore—even to cry anymore to the king?”
He ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻa ʻeku tamai, ko e kau mate kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi: ka neongo ia naʻa ke fakanofo ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki[ko au ]ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻokinautolu naʻe kai mei ho keinangaʻanga ʻoʻou. Ko ia foki ʻe totonu fēfē ʻa ʻeku toe tangi ki he tuʻi?”
29 And the king says to him, “Why do you speak anymore of your matters? I have said, You and Ziba—share the field.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke kei lea ai ki hoʻo ngaahi meʻa ʻaʻau? Kuo ʻosi ʻeku lea, Ke mo vaheua mo Sipa ʻae fonua.”
30 And Mephibosheth says to the king, “Indeed, let him take the whole, after that my lord the king has come in peace to his house.”
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe Mifiposeti ki he tuʻi, “Tuku ke ne maʻu kotoa pē maʻana, koeʻuhi kuo toe hoko mai ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ki hono fale ʻoʻona ʻi he melino.”
31 And Barzillai the Gileadite has gone down from Rogelim, and passes over the Jordan with the king, to send him away over the Jordan;
Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Pasilai ko e tangata Kiliati mei Lokelimi, pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia mo e tuʻi ki he kauvai ʻo Sioatani, ke ne fakaaʻa atu ia ʻi Sioatani.
32 and Barzillai [is] very aged, a son of eighty years, and he has sustained the king in his abiding in Mahanaim, for he [is] a very great man;
Ka ko eni naʻe motuʻa lahi ʻaupito ʻa Pasilai, he naʻe valungofulu ʻa hono taʻu: pea naʻa ne tokonaki meʻakai maʻae tuʻi lolotonga ʻa ʻene nofo ʻi Mehanemi; he ko e tangata ʻeikilahi ia.
33 and the king says to Barzillai, “Pass over with me, and I have sustained you in Jerusalem with me.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Pasilai, Haʻu koe ke ta aʻa atu mo au, pea te u fafangaʻi koe mo au ʻi Selūsalema.
34 And Barzillai says to the king, “How many [are] the days of the years of my life, that I go up with the king to Jerusalem?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Pasilai ki he tuʻi, “He ʻoku toe fiha ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻeku moʻui, koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu hake ai mo e tuʻi ki Selūsalema?
35 I [am] a son of eighty years today; do I know between good and evil? Does your servant taste that which I am eating, and that which I drink? Do I listen anymore to the voice of male and female singers? And why is your servant for a burden to my lord the king anymore?
ʻOku ou valungofulu taʻu he ʻaho ni pea ʻoku ou faʻa fai koā ke fifili ki he meʻa ʻoku lelei mo ia ʻoku kovi? He ʻoku faʻa ifoifo ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻaia ʻoku ou kai pe ko ia ʻoku ou inu? Pea ʻoku ou kei faʻa ongoʻi koā ʻae leʻo ʻoe kau tangata fasi hiva mo e kau fefine fasi hiva?” Pea ka kuo pehē, ko e hā hono ʻaonga ʻoe hoko ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko e fakamāfasia pe ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi?
36 As a little thing, your servant passes over the Jordan with the king, and why does the king repay me this repayment?
ʻE ʻalu mamaʻo siʻi atu pe ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki mo e tuʻi ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani: pea ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe totongi kiate au ʻe he tuʻi ʻi ha totongi pehē fau?
37 Please let your servant turn back again, and I die in my own city, near the burying-place of my father and of my mother—and behold, your servant Chimham, let him pass over with my lord the king, and do to him that which [is] good in your eyes.”
ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke toe foki ki mui, koeʻuhi ke u mate ʻi hoku kolo ʻoʻoku, ʻo ofi ki he faʻitoka ʻo ʻeku tamai pea mo ʻeku faʻē. “Kae vakai, ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Kimami; tuku ke ʻalu atu ia mo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi; pea ke fai kiate ia ʻaia ʻoku lelei ʻi ho ʻao.”
38 And the king says, “Chimham goes over with me, and I do to him that which [is] good in your eyes, indeed, all that you fix on me I do to you.”
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻE ʻalu atu mo au ʻa Kimami, pea te u fai kiate ia ʻaia te ke loto koe ki ai: pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ke loto mai ke u fai, te u fai ia maʻau.”
39 And all the people pass over the Jordan, and the king has passed over, and the king gives a kiss to Barzillai, and blesses him, and he turns back to his place.
Pea naʻe aʻa atu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi Sioatani. Pea hili ʻae lava atu ʻae tuʻi, naʻe ʻuma ʻe he tuʻi kia Pasilai, mo ne tāpuakiʻi ia; pea naʻe toe foki atu ia ki hono potu ʻoʻona.
40 And the king passes over to Gilgal, and Chimham has passed over with him, and all the people of Judah, and they bring over the king, and also the half of the people of Israel.
Hili ia naʻe mole atu ʻae tuʻi ki Kilikali, pea naʻe ʻalu atu mo ia ʻa Kimami: pea naʻe fakafeʻao ki he tuʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, pea mo hono vaheua ʻoe kakai ʻo ʻIsileli.
41 And behold, all the men of Israel are coming to the king, and they say to the king, “Why have our brothers, the men of Judah, stolen you—and they bring the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?”
Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ki he tuʻi ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻonau pehē ki he tuʻi, “Ko e hā kuo ʻave fakakaihaʻa ai koe ʻe homau kāinga ko e kau tangata ʻo Siuta, pea kuo nau ʻomi ʻekinautolu ʻae tuʻi, pea mo hono kaungā nofoʻanga, pea mo e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Tevita, ki he kauvai ni ʻo Sioatani?”
42 And all the men of Judah answer against the men of Israel, “Because the king [is] near to us, and why [is] this [that] you are displeased about this matter? Have we eaten of the king’s [substance] at all? Has he lifted up a gift to us?”
Pea naʻe tali ʻe he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ki he kau tangata ʻIsileli, [ʻo pehē], “Koeʻuhi ko homau kāinga ofi lahi ʻae tuʻi: ko ia ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻita ai ʻi he meʻa ni? He kuo mau kai mei he meʻakai ʻae tuʻi? Pe kuo ne ʻomi ha koloa kiate kimautolu?”
43 And the men of Israel answer the men of Judah, and say, “We have ten parts in the king, and also more than you in David; and why have you lightly esteemed us, that our word has not been first to bring back our king?” And the word of the men of Judah is sharper than the word of the men of Israel.
Pea naʻe leaange ʻe he kau tangata ʻIsileli ki he kau tangata Siuta, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku mau maʻu ʻae vahe ʻe hongofulu ʻi he tuʻi, pea ʻoku totonu lahi hake ʻemau kau kia Tevita ʻiate kimoutolu: ko ia ko e hā kuo mou paetaku ai kiate kimautolu ʻi he ʻikai tomuʻa kumi ʻemau lea ʻamautolu ki he toe ʻomi ʻa homau tuʻi?” Pea naʻe mālohi hake ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae kau tangata Siuta ʻi he ngaahi lea naʻe fai ʻe he kau tangata ʻIsileli.
