2 Samuel 21
1 And there came to be a famine, in the days of David, for three years, year after year, so then David sought the face of Yahweh, —and Yahweh said—It respecteth Saul and his house, as to bloodshed, in that he put to death 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 The king therefore called the Gibeonites, and said unto them (now, the Gibeonites, were, not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, with whom, the sons of Israel, had entered into an oath, and Saul had sought to smite them, in his jealousy for 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 wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites—What shall I do for you, and wherewith shall I make propitiation, so that ye may bless the inheritance of Yahweh?
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 unto him—It is not a matter with us of silver or gold, with Saul or with his house, neither would we have a man put to death in Israel. And he said, —What do ye say 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 Then said they unto the king, The man who consumed us, and who thought to have destroyed us from taking a place within any of the bounds 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 there be delivered up to us—seven men of his sons, and we will crucify them unto Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Yahweh. And the king said, I, will deliver them up.
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 had pity upon Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, Saul’s son, —because of the oath of Yahweh that was between them, between David and Jonathan, Saul’s son.
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 So the king took the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she had borne to Saul, even Armoni and Mephibosheth, —and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai, the Meholathite;
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 delivered them up into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they crucified them in the mountain, before Yahweh, so they seven fell together, —they being put to death in the first days of harvest, in the beginning of the barley harvest.
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 daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth, and spread it out for herself, on the rock, from the beginning of harvest, until water poured out upon them from the heavens, —and suffered neither the birds of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the wild beasts of the field, [to devour them] 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 told David, —what Rizpah daughter of Aiah, Saul’s concubine, had done.
Pea naʻe tala kia Tevita ʻae meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Lisipa koe taʻahine ʻo ʻAia koe sinifu ʻo Saula.
12 So David went and fetched the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the owners of Jabesh-gilead, —who stole them from the broadway of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, on the day when the Philistines had smitten Saul in 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 up from thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, —and they gathered together the bones of them 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 so they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the grave of Kish his father, thus did they all that the king commanded, —and God suffered himself to be entreated for the land, after this.
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 And the Philistines had yet again a war with Israel, —so David went down, and his servants with him, and fought the Philistines, and David became 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 So, Ishbi-benob, who was of the descendants of the giant, the weight of whose spear-head, was three hundred shekels of bronze, he also being newly armed, thought to smite 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 but Abishai son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and smote the Philistine, and slew him. Then, sware the men of David unto him, saying—Thou must not go forth any more with us, to battle, that thou quench not 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 And it came to pass, after this, that there was yet again a battle in Gob, with the Philistines, —then, Sibbekai the Hushathite smote Saph, who was of the descendants of the giant.
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 And there was yet again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, —when Elhanan son of Jaare-oregim of Bethlehem, smote Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
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 And there was yet again a battle in Gath; when there was a man of stature, with six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; he also, having been born to the giant;
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 but, when he reproached Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah David’s brother, smote, him.
Pea ʻi heʻene manuki ki ʻIsileli naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Simia ko e tokoua ʻo Tevita.
22 These four, had been born to the giant in Gath, —but they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of 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.
