ʼUluaki Samuele 18:1-30
18 ʼI te ʼosi palalau pe ʼa Tavite kia Saulo, neʼe feʼofaʼofani pea mo kaumeʼa lelei leva ia Sonatane+ mo Tavite, pea neʼe ʼofa ia Sonatane kia ia ohage pe ko tana ʼofa kia ia totonu.*+
2 Talu mai te ʼaho ʼaia, neʼe taʼofi e Saulo ia Tavite ke nofo mo ia, pea neʼe mole ina tuku ke toe liliu ki te ʼapi ʼo tana tamai.+
3 Neʼe fai leva e Sonatane mo Tavite he fuakava,+ he neʼe ʼofa kia ia ohage pe ko tana ʼofa kia ia totonu.*+
4 Neʼe huʼi e Sonatane tona kofu tuʼa ʼo ina foaki age kia Tavite, ʼo feia mo tona teu solia, mo tana heleta, mo tana nahau pea mo tona kiliʼi pipi.
5 Neʼe alu leva ia Tavite ki te tau. Pea ko te faʼahi pe ʼae neʼe fekauʼi ai ia ia e Saulo ke alu ki ai, neʼe malo ai.*+ Koia, neʼe fakanofo ia ia e Saulo ke pule ki te kau tagata tau,+ pea neʼe fiafia ai te hahaʼi fuli mo te kau tagata faifekau ʼa Saulo.
6 ʼI te toe liliu mai ʼa Tavite mo te tahi kau tagata ʼi tanatou ʼosi matehi te kau Filisitini, neʼe ʼomai te ʼu fafine mai te ʼu kolo fuli ʼo Iselaele ʼo fakafelaveʼi ki te Hau ko Saulo, ʼo natou hiva,+ mo memeʼe pea mo fakafiafia ʼaki ni nafa+ mo ni lute.*
7 Neʼe hiva te ʼu fafine ʼae neʼe fakafiafia:
“Neʼe matehi e Saulo tana toko lauʼi afe,Pea neʼe matehi e Tavite tana toko lauʼi hogofulu afe.”+
8 Neʼe kovi ʼosi te ita ʼo Saulo,+ pea neʼe mole ina leleiʼia te hiva ʼaia, he neʼe ina ui: “ ʼE natou tuku kia Tavite te toko lauʼi hogofulu afe, kae natou tuku mai kia au te toko lauʼi afe. ʼE kei toe pe ke tuku age mo te tuʼulaga hau!”+
9 Talu mai te ʼaho ʼaia, neʼe lotomahalohalo tuʼumaʼu pe ia Saulo ʼo ʼuhiga mo Tavite.
10 ʼI te ʼaho ake, neʼe tuku e te ʼAtua ke hoha te loto ʼo Saulo,*+ pea neʼe kamata faikehe tana aga* ʼi tona loto fale, kae lolotoga ta alepa ia Tavite+ ohage ko tana fai mahani. Neʼe toʼo e Saulo he tao ʼi tona nima,+
11 pea neʼe ina li te tao,+ ʼo ina ui ʼi tona loto: ‘ ʼE au hokaʼi anai ia Tavite ki te kaupa!’ Neʼe tuʼa lua tana fai te faʼahi ʼaia, kae neʼe hao aipe ia Tavite.
12 Neʼe mataku leva Saulo ia Tavite, koteʼuhi neʼe nofo ia Sehova mo ia+ kae neʼe mavae ia mai ia Saulo.+
13 Koia, neʼe fakamamaʼo e Saulo ia Tavite mai ia ia, ʼo ina fakanofo ke pule ki he toko afe, pea neʼe takitaki e Tavite te kautau ʼi tanatou olo ki te tau.+
14 Neʼe fua lelei tuʼumaʼu pe+ te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae neʼe fai e Tavite,* pea neʼe nofo ia Sehova mo ia.+
15 Pea ʼi te sio ʼa Saulo ki te fua lelei ʼo te ʼu meʼa ʼae neʼe fai e Tavite, neʼe mataku ai ia ia.
16 Kae neʼe ʼofa ia Iselaele katoa pea mo Suta kia Tavite, he neʼe ko ia tonatou takitaki ʼi te ʼu tau.
17 Ki muli age, neʼe ui e Saulo kia Tavite: “Koʼeni ia Melape toku ʼofafine lahi.+ ʼE au foaki atu anai ia ia ke liliu ko hou ʼohoana.+ Kae ʼe tonu ke hoko atu tau gaue kia au mo he lototoʼa pea ke fakahoko te ʼu tau ʼa Sehova.”+ Koteʼuhi neʼe ui e Saulo ʼi tona loto: ‘ ʼE mole au matehi anai ia ia, kae ʼe matehi anai e te kau Filisitini.’+
18 Neʼe tali age e Tavite kia Saulo: “Ko ai koa ia au pea ko ai koa ʼoku kaiga, ia te famili ʼo taku tamai ʼae ʼi Iselaele ke au liliu ai ko te ʼohoana ʼo te ʼofafine ʼo te hau?”+
19 Kae ʼi te hoko mai ʼo te temi ʼae neʼe tonu ai ke foaki e Saulo kia Tavite tona ʼofafine ko Melape, neʼe kua ʼosi foaki ia ke ʼohoana mo Ateliano,+ te tagata Meola.
20 Neʼe manako ia Mikale te ʼofafine ʼo Saulo+ ia Tavite, pea neʼe fakaha age kia Saulo, ʼo fiafia ai.
21 Koia, neʼe ui e Saulo ʼi tona loto: “ ʼE au foaki age anai toku ʼofafine kia ia ke liliu ko he hele kia ia, pea ʼe lagi matehi anai ia ia e te kau Filisitini.”+ Pea neʼe ui leva e Saulo kia Tavite: “ ʼI te ʼaho nei, ʼe ke liliu anai ko te ʼohoana ʼo toku ʼofafine.”
22 Pea tahi ʼae meʼa, neʼe fakatotonu e Saulo ki ʼana hahaʼi faifekau: “Kotou palalau fakafufu kia Tavite, ʼo ui age: ‘Sio, ʼe leleiʼia koe e te hau pea ʼe ʼoʼofa ʼana hahaʼi faifekau fuli ia koe. Koia, ʼi te lakaga leva ʼaeni, ke ke ʼohoana mo te ʼofafine ʼo te hau.’ ”
23 ʼI te fai e te hahaʼi faifekau ʼa Saulo te ʼu palalau ʼaia kia Tavite, neʼe ui e Tavite: “ ʼE ko he meʼa noa koa kia koutou haku ʼohoana mo te ʼofafine ʼo te hau kae ko au ko he tagata masiva pea ʼe mole maʼuhiga?”+
24 Pea neʼe natou fakaha leva kia Saulo: “Koʼena te ʼu palalau ʼae neʼe fai e Tavite.”
25 Pea neʼe ui e Saulo: “Koʼeni te meʼa ʼae ʼe tonu ke kotou ui age kia Tavite: ‘ ʼE mole loto e te hau ki he totogi+ ke feala hau ʼohoana mo tona ʼofafine. Kae ke ke matehi he kau Filisitini ʼe toko 100,+ pea ke ʼaumai he fakamoʼoni* ke iloʼi ai kua natou mamate, ko te lagavaka ʼaia ʼa te hau ki ʼona fili.’ ” Koteʼuhi neʼe fakatuʼutuʼu e Saulo ke matehi ia Tavite e te kau Filisitini.
26 Koia neʼe fakaha age e ʼana tagata faifekau kia Tavite te ʼu palalau ʼaia, pea neʼe lotolelei ia Tavite ke ʼohoana mo te ʼofafine ʼo te hau.+ ʼI muʼa ʼo te hoko mai ʼo te temi ʼae neʼe fakatuʼutuʼu ki ai,
27 neʼe alu ia Tavite mo tana kau tagata pea neʼe natou matehi te kau tagata Filisitini ʼe toko 200, pea neʼe ʼaumai e Tavite ki te hau te fakamoʼoni ʼae kua natou mamate, ke feala hana ʼohoana mo te ʼofafine ʼo te hau. Neʼe foaki age leva e Saulo tona ʼofafine ko Mikale ke ina ʼohoanaʼi.+
28 Neʼe iloʼi ai e Saulo neʼe nofo ia Sehova mo Tavite+ pea neʼe manako tona ʼofafine ko Mikale ia ia.+
29 Neʼe lahi age leva te mataku ʼa Saulo ia Tavite, pea neʼe liliu ia Saulo ko te fili ʼo Tavite ʼi tona maʼuli katoa.+
30 Neʼe olo te kau ʼaliki ʼo te kau Filisitini ʼo tauʼi te kau Iselaele, kae ʼi te faiʼaga pe ʼo he tau, neʼe lahi age te malo ʼa* Tavite ʼi te kau tagata faifekau fuli ʼa Saulo.+ Pea neʼe iloa ai tona higoa.+
