ʼUluaki Samuele 15:1-35
15 Neʼe ui leva e Samuele kia Saulo: “Neʼe fekauʼi au e Sehova ke au fakanofo* koe ko te hau ʼo Iselaele tana hahaʼi.+ Koia, ʼi te temi nei, ke ke fakalogo ki te meʼa ʼae ʼe folafola ki ai ia Sehova.+
2 Koʼeni te meʼa ʼae ʼe ui e Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau: ‘ ʼE au liufaki anai ki te kau Amaleke te meʼa ʼae neʼe natou fai ki Iselaele, he neʼe natou fakafeagai kia natou ʼi tanatou mavae ʼae mai Esipito.+
3 ʼI te temi leva ʼaeni, ke ke alu ʼo matehi te kau Amaleke,+ pea mo ke pulihi ia natou fuli+ ʼo feia mo te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae ʼe natou maʼu. ʼE mole tonu ke ke tuku ke maʼuli* he tahi. ʼE tonu ke ke matehi ia natou,+ te hahaʼi tagata, mo te hahaʼi fafine, mo te tamaliki, mo te ʼu kiʼi toe kei meamea, mo te ʼu vitulo, mo te ʼu ovi, mo te ʼu kamelo pea mo te ʼu asino.’ ”+
4 Neʼe pauʼi e Saulo te hahaʼi ʼo ina lau natou ʼi Telaimi. Neʼe ko te toko 200 000 kau solia neʼe haʼele lalo pea mo te toko 10 000 kau tagata mai Suta.+
5 Neʼe alu leva ia Saulo ʼo kaku ki te kolo ʼo Amaleke, pea neʼe fenonoʼi ia ia mo he kau solia ʼi te vaʼe vai tafe ke natou ʼohofi te kau Amaleke.
6 Neʼe ui leva e Saulo ki te kau Kenite:+ “Kotou olo, pea kotou mavae kehe mai te kau Amaleke, naʼa au pulihi fakatahi koutou mo natou.+ He neʼe kotou fakaha tokotou ʼofa agatonu ki te hahaʼi katoa ʼo Iselaele+ ʼi tanatou mavae ʼae mai Esipito.” Koia, neʼe mavae kehe ai te kau Kenite mai te kau Amaleke.
7 Hili ʼaia, neʼe matehi leva e Saulo te kau Amaleke+ mai Avila+ ki Sule,+ ʼae ʼe ovi ki Esipito.
8 Neʼe ina puke ia Akake,+ te hau ʼo Amaleke ʼo mole ina matehi, kae neʼe ina matehi te hahaʼi fuli ʼaki te heleta.+
9 Kae neʼe tuku e Saulo mo te hahaʼi ke maʼuli ia* Akake, mo te ʼu manu lelei ʼo te faga ovi, mo te faga pipi, mo te ʼu manu ʼae ʼe sisino, mo te ʼu ovi tagata, pea mo te ʼu meʼa lelei fuli.+ Neʼe mole natou fia maumauʼi te ʼu meʼa ʼaia. Kae neʼe natou maumauʼi te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae neʼe mole maʼuhiga pea neʼe mole natou loto ki ai.
10 Neʼe ui leva e Sehova kia Samuele:
11 “ ʼE au fakahemala* ʼi taku fakanofo ia Saulo ko he hau, he ʼe kua lituʼa ia kia te au pea neʼe mole ina fakahoko ʼaku folafola.”+ Neʼe lotomamahi ʼosi ia Samuele pea neʼe tagi kia Sehova ʼi te po katoa.+
12 ʼI te tuʼu ake ʼa Samuele kei uhuuhu ʼo alu kia Saulo, neʼe fakaha age kia Samuele te meʼa ʼaeni: “Neʼe alu ia Saulo ki Kalemelo,+ pea neʼe ina fakatuʼu ʼi ai he mataga maʼa ia totonu.+ Neʼe toe liliu leva ʼo hifo ki Kilekale.”
13 ʼI te felaveʼi leva ʼa Samuele mo ia, neʼe ui e Saulo ki ai: “Ke tapuakiʼi koe e Sehova. Kua au fakahoko te folafola ʼa Sehova.”
14 Neʼe ui e Samuele: “Kae he koʼe koa ʼe au logo ki te tagi ʼa te faga ovi pea mo te faga pipi?”+
15 Neʼe tali e Saulo: “Neʼe ʼaumai e te hahaʼi te ʼu manu ʼaia mai te kau Amaleke, he neʼe natou tuku ke maʼuli* te ʼu manu ʼae ʼe lelei ʼo te faga ovi mo te faga pipi, ke sakilifisioʼi kia Sehova tou ʼAtua. Kae ko te ʼu meʼa ʼae neʼe toe, neʼe matou maumauʼi katoa.”
16 Pea neʼe ui e Samuele kia Saulo: “Tuku ʼosi! ʼE au fakaha atu te meʼa ʼae neʼe ui mai e Sehova ʼanapo.”+ Neʼe ina ui age ki ai: “Fakaha mai!”
17 Neʼe hoko atu e Samuele: “ ʼI te temi ʼae neʼe ke liliu ai ko te pule ʼo te ʼu telepi ʼo Iselaele pea neʼe fakanofo koe e Sehova ke ke hau ki Iselaele,+ neʼe mole koa la ke manatu ʼe mole hou ʼuhiga?+
18 Ki muli age, neʼe fekauʼi koe e Sehova ke ke fakahoko he gaue ʼo ina ui atu: ‘Alu, pea ke ke matehi te kau Amaleke, ko he hahaʼi agahala.+ Tauʼi natou ʼo kaku ki tonatou pulihi katoa.’+
19 Koia, he koʼe neʼe mole ke fakalogo ki te leʼo ʼo Sehova? Kae neʼe ke ʼoho mo he lotomanumanū ki te ʼu koloa ʼae neʼe kotou maʼu,+ pea neʼe ke fai te meʼa ʼae ʼe kovi kia mata ʼo Sehova!”
20 Kae neʼe ui e Saulo kia Samuele: “Neʼe au fakalogo ki te leʼo ʼo Sehova! Neʼe au alu ʼo fai te gaue ʼae neʼe fekauʼi au e Sehova ki ai, pea neʼe au ʼaumai ia Akake, te hau ʼo Amaleke kae neʼe au matehi te kau Amaleke.+
21 Kae neʼe toʼo leva e te hahaʼi te ʼu ovi mo te ʼu pipi mai te ʼu koloa ʼae neʼe natou maʼu, ia te ʼu meʼa ʼae ʼe lelei ʼi te ʼu meʼa ʼae neʼe tonu ke maumauʼi, ke sakilifisioʼi kia Sehova tou ʼAtua ʼi Kilekale.”+
22 Neʼe ui leva e Samuele: “ ʼE fiafia lahi age koa ia Sehova ʼi te ʼu holokoseta mo te ʼu sakilifisio+ ʼi te fakalogo ʼae ki te leʼo ʼo Sehova? ʼE mahino ia, ʼe lelei age te talagafua ʼi he sakilifisio,+ pea mo te fakalogo ʼi te gako+ ʼo te ʼu ovi tagata.
23 Koteʼuhi ʼe tatau te agatuʼu+ mo te agahala ʼae ko te faifakakikite fakatemonio,+ pea ʼe toe tatau pe te fiameʼalahi mo te fakaʼaogaʼi ʼo te malohi fakamanamana pea mo te tauhi taula ʼatua.* Pea ʼuhi ʼae neʼe ke liʼaki te folafola ʼa Sehova,+ kua ina liʼaki koe ke mole ke toe hau.”+
24 Neʼe ui e Saulo kia Samuele: “Kua au agahala, he neʼe au talagataʼa ki te fakatotonu ʼa Sehova pea mo ʼau folafola, koteʼuhi neʼe au mataku ʼi te hahaʼi mo fakalogo ki te meʼa ʼae neʼe natou ui mai.
25 Fakalelei siʼou loto, fakamolemole mai ki taku agahala, pea ke toe liliu mo au ke feala ai haku tulolo ia muʼa ʼo Sehova.”+
26 Kae neʼe ui e Samuele kia Saulo: “ ʼE mole au toe liliu anai mo koe, he neʼe ke liʼaki te folafola ʼa Sehova, pea kua liʼaki koe e Sehova ke mole ke toe hau ki Iselaele.”+
27 ʼI te maliu ʼa Samuele ʼo alu, neʼe puke e Saulo te tapatapa ʼo tona kofu tuʼa, pea neʼe mahae ai.
28 Neʼe ui e Samuele ki ai: “Koʼena te meʼa ʼae kua hoko kia koe. Kua toʼo e Sehova te tuʼulaga hau ʼo Iselaele mai ia koe ʼi te ʼaho nei, pea ʼe ina foaki anai ki he tagata ʼe lelei age ia koe.+
29 Pea tahi ʼae meʼa, ko te ʼAtua Lelei Tukupau ʼo Iselaele+ ʼe mole loi anai+ pea ʼe mole ina fetogi anai tana manatu,* he ʼe mole hage ko he tagata ke ina fetogi tana manatu.”*+
30 Neʼe ina tali: “Kua au agahala. Kae fakalelei siʼou loto, ke ke fakaʼapaʼapaʼi au ia muʼa ʼo te kau takitaki ʼo taku hahaʼi pea ia muʼa ʼo Iselaele. Toe liliu mo au, pea ʼe au tulolo anai ia muʼa ʼo Sehova tou ʼAtua.”+
31 Neʼe toe liliu leva ia Samuele mo Saulo, pea neʼe tulolo ia Saulo ia muʼa ʼo Sehova.
32 Pea neʼe ui e Samuele: “ ʼAumai ia Akake te hau ʼo Amaleke.” Pea neʼe alu leva ia Akake kia ia kae neʼe mole loto ki ai,* he ʼe ki muʼa atu neʼe manatu ia Akake: ‘ ʼE mahino ia, ʼe mole matehi anai au.’
33 Neʼe ui e Samuele: “Ohage ko te kua liliu ʼa te ʼu fafine ʼo hala fanau ʼuhi ko tau heleta, ʼe toe hala fanau anai mo tau faʼe.” Pea neʼe tuʼutuʼusi e Samuele ia Akake ia muʼa ʼo Sehova ʼi Kilekale.+
34 Neʼe alu ia Samuele ki Lama, kae neʼe liliu leva ia Saulo ki tona ʼapi ʼi Kipease, te kolo ʼo Saulo.*
35 Neʼe mole toe felaveʼi ia Samuele mo Saulo ʼo kaku ki te ʼaho ʼo tona mate, he neʼe lotomamahi ʼaupito ia Samuele ʼo ʼuhiga mo Saulo.+ Pea neʼe fakahemala ia Sehova ʼi tana fakanofo ia Saulo ke hau ki Iselaele.+
