1 Samoela 24
1 Ary rehefa niverina avy nanenjika ny Filistina Saoly, dia nisy nanambara taminy hoe; Indro, Davida any an-efitr’ i En-jedy.
Pea ʻi he liu mai ʻa Saula mei heʻene tuli ʻae kau Filisitia, pea hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe tala kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he toafa ʻo Eni-Keti ʻa Tevita.”
2 Ary Saoly naka telo arivo lahy voafantina tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra ka lasa nitady an’ i Davida sy ny olony tany amin’ ny vatolampin’ ny osi-dia.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Saula ʻae kau tangata naʻe fili ʻe toko tolu afe mei ʻIsileli kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻalu ia ke kumi ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata ʻi he funga ʻoe ngaahi maka ʻoe fanga kosi kaivao.
3 Ary tonga teo amin’ ny valan’ ondry tamoron-dalana izay nisy zohy izy, ka niditra tao Saoly mba hiavela; nefa Davida sy ny olony efa nipetraka tao anatin’ ny zohy.
Pea naʻe hoko ia ki he ngaahi lotoʻā sipi ʻi he veʻehala, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻana, pea hū ki ai ʻa Saula ke ʻufiʻufi hono vaʻe: pea naʻe ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻana ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata.
4 Ary hoy ny olon’ i Davida taminy: Izao no andro nolazain’ i Jehovah taminao hoe: Indro, hatolotro eo an-tananao ny fahavalonao hataonao araka izay sitrakao. Dia nitsangana Davida ka nitsaitsaika nanapaka ny sisin’ ny kapôtin’ i Saoly.
Pea pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻo Tevita kiate ia, “Vakai, ko eni ʻae ʻaho ʻaia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova kiate koe, Vakai, te u tukuange ho fili ki ho nima, koeʻuhi ke ke fai kiate ia ʻaia ʻoku lelei kiate koe.” Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita ʻo ne heleʻi ʻo motuhi fakafufū ʻae mui kofu ʻo Saula.
5 Nefa nony efa vita izany, dia namely an’ i Davida ny eritreriny noho ny nanapahany ny sisin’ ny kapôtin’ i Saoly,
Pea hili ʻa hono fai naʻe tautea ʻa Tevita ʻe hono loto, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene motuhi ʻae potu ʻoe kofu ʻo Saula.
6 ka hoy izy tamin’ ny olony: Sanatria amiko eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, raha hanao izany zavatra izany amin’ ny tompoko izay voahosotr’ i Jehovah ka haninjitra ny tanako aminy, fa voahosotr’ i Jehovah izy.
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki hono kakai, “Ke taʻofi ʻe Sihova ke ʻoua naʻaku fai ʻae meʻa ni ki hoku ʻeiki, ko e fakatapui ʻe Sihova, ke mafao atu hoku nima angatuʻu kiate ia, ka ko e pani ia ʻa Sihova.”
7 Dia nampijanona ny mpanompony tamin’ izany teny izany Davida ka tsy namela azy hitsangana hamely an’ i Saoly. Ary Saoly nitsangana ka niala tao an-johy, dia nandeha tamin’ izay nalehany.
Ko ia naʻe taʻofi ʻe Tevita ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni, pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻakinautolu kenau tuʻu hake kia Saula. Ka naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Saula mei he ʻana, pea ʻalu ʻi hono hala.
8 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia mba nitsangana koa Davida ka niala tao an-johy koa, dia niantso an’ i Saoly ka nanao hoe: Ry mpanjaka tompoko ô! Ary nony nitodika azy Saoly, dia niondrika tamin’ ny tany Davida ka niankohoka.
Pea naʻe tuʻu foki ʻa Tevita ʻo ʻalu kituʻa mei he ʻana, pea kalanga ia kia Saula ʻo pehē, “ʻA hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi.” Pea naʻe tafoki ʻo vakai ki mui ʻa Saula, ʻoku tulolo ʻa Tevita hono mata ki he kelekele, pea punou ia.
9 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Saoly: Nahoana ianao no maka vavan’ olona hoe: Indro, Davida mitady hanisy ratsy anao?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Saula, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke tokanga ai ki he ngaahi lea ʻae kau tangata, ʻoku pehē, ‘Vakai, ʻoku kumi ʻe Tevita ke ke lavea?’
10 Indro, hitan’ ny masonao androany ny nanoloran’ i Jehovah anao ho eo an-tanako tao an-johy; ary nisy nilaza hevitra hamonoana anao, saingy niantra anao ny masoko, ka hoy izaho: Tsy haninjitra ny tanako amin’ ny tompoko aho, fa voahosotr’ i Jehovah izy.
Vakai, kuo ke mamata ʻaki ho mata he ʻaho ni ki heʻene tuku mai koe ʻe Sihova he ʻaho ni ki hoku nima ʻi he ʻana pea naʻe tala ʻe he niʻihi ke u taaʻi koe ka naʻe fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoku mata; pea ne u pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te u mafao atu hoku nima ʻo angatuʻu ki hoku ʻeiki he ko e fakatapui ia ʻa Sihova.’
11 Ary koa, ry ikaky ô, jereo dia jereo ange ny sisin’ ny kapôtinao etỳ an-tanako; fa raha nanapaka ny sisin’ ny kapôtinao aho, fa tsy nahafaty anao, dia izahao ka fantaro fa tsy misy faharatsiana na fahadisoana amin’ ny tanako, ary tsy nanota taminao aho, nefa ianao kosa mihaza ny aiko mba hahafaty azy.
Pea ko eni foki, ʻa ʻeku tamai, vakai, ʻio, vakai ki he potu ʻo ho kofu ʻi hoku nima: ʻi heʻeku heleʻi ke motu ʻae kapa ʻo ho kofu, ʻo ʻikai te u taaʻi koe, ke ke ʻilo ai mo vakai ʻoku ʻikai ha kovi pe ha angahala ʻi hoku nima, pea kuo ʻikai te u fai angahala kiate koe; ka ʻoku ke tuli ʻa ʻeku moʻui ke taaʻi ia.
12 Jehovah no hitsara ahy sy ianao, ary Jehovah no hamaly anao noho ny amiko, fa ny tanako tsy mba haninona anao.
Ke fakamaauʻi ʻe Sihova kiate au mo koe, pea totongi kiate koe ʻe Sihova koeʻuhi ko au: ka ʻe ʻikai ʻiate koe ʻa hoku nima ʻoʻoku.
13 Araka ny lazain’ ny ohabolan’ ny ntaolo hoe: Avy amin’ ny ratsy fanahy no ivoahan’ ny ratsy, nefa ny tanako tsy haninona anao.
Kae hangē: ko e lea ʻae mātuʻa ʻi muʻa, ‘ʻOku tupu ʻae fai kovi mei he angakovi’ ka ʻe ʻikai ʻiate koe ʻa hoku nima.
14 Hitady an’ iza no nivoahan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely? Iza no enjehinao? Amboa maty; parasy iray.
Kuo haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo tuli kia hai? ʻOku ke tulia ʻa hai? Ko e kulī mate, ko e kutufisi.
15 Aoka Jehovah no ho mpitsara, ka dia hitsara ahy sy ianao ary hijery sy handahatra ho ahy ka hanafaka ahy amin’ ny tananao.
Ko ia ke fakamaau ʻe Sihova, pea fakamaau kiate au mo koe, pea vakai, ʻo langomakiʻi au, pea fakamoʻui au mei ho nima.”
16 Ary nony vita izany teny nataon’ i Davida tamin’ i Saoly izany, dia hoy Saoly: Feonao va izany, ry Davida zanako ô? Ary Saoly nanandratra ny feony ka nitomany;
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi lea ni kia Saula, naʻe pehē ʻe Saula, “He ko ho leʻo eni, ʻE Tevita ko hoku foha?” Pea naʻe hiki hono leʻo ʻe Saula ʻo ne tangi.
17 ary hoy izy tamin’ i Davida: Marina noho izaho ianao; fa ianao dia nanisy soa ahy, fa izaho kosa namaly ratsy anao.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia Tevita, “ʻOku ke angatonu lahi koe ʻiate au: he kuo ke totongi lelei kiate au, ka kuo u totongi kovi kiate koe.
18 Ary ianao dia naneho androany ny nanaovanao soa tamiko, fa na dia natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tananao aza aho, dia tsy nahafaty ahy ianao.
Pea kuo ke fakahā he ʻaho ni ʻa hoʻo fai lelei kiate au: koeʻuhi ʻi he tukuange au ʻe Sihova ki ho nima, naʻe ʻikai te ke tāmateʻi au.
19 Fa moa raha misy olona mahazo ny fahavalony, havelany handeha soa aman-tsara va izy? Koa hovalian’ i Jehovah soa anie ianao noho ny nataonao tamiko androany.
He kapau ʻoku ʻilo ʻe ha tangata hono fili, te ne tuku ke toe ʻalu moʻui? Ko ia ke totongi lelei ʻe Sihova kiate koe, ʻi he meʻa kuo ke fai kiate au he ʻaho ni.
20 Ary, indro, ankehitriny fantatro fa ho mpanjaka tokoa ianao, ary ny fanjakan’ ny Isiraely ho tafatoetra tsara eo an-tananao.
Pea ko eni, vakai, ʻOku ou ʻilo pau ko e moʻoni te ke hoko ke tuʻi, pea ʻe fakatuʻumaʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli ʻiate koe.
21 Koa mianiàna amiko amin’ i Jehovah ianao ankehitriny fa tsy handringana ny taranako mandimby ahy ianao, ary tsy hovonoinao amin’ ny mpianakavin’ ny raiko ny anarako.
Ko ia ke ke fuakava ni kiate au ʻia Sihova, ke ʻoua naʻa ke motuhi hoku hako kimui ʻiate au, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakaʻauha hoku hingoa mei he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai.”
22 Ary Davida dia nianiana tamin’ i Saoly; ary dia lasa nody Saoly, fa Davida sy ny olony kosa niakatra nankany amin’ ny batery fiarovana.
Pea naʻe fuakava ʻe Tevita kia Saula, pea ʻalu ʻa Saula ki hono ʻapi, ka naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata ki he toitoiʻanga.
