ʼUluaki Samuele
19 Ki muli age, neʼe fakaha leva e Saulo ki tona foha ko Sonatane pea mo ʼana hahaʼi faifekau fuli tana fia matehi ia Tavite.+ 2 Neʼe ʼofa mamahi ia Sonatane te foha ʼo Saulo ia Tavite,+ koia neʼe ina ui age ai kia Tavite: “ ʼE fia matehi koe e Saulo taku tamai. Koia, fakalelei siʼou loto, kae ke nofo tokaga apogipogi uhu pea ke alu ʼo nono ʼi he koga meʼa mo nofo ai. 3 ʼE au alu anai ki tuʼa ʼo tuʼu ia tafa ʼo taku tamai ʼi te koga meʼa ʼae ʼe ke nofo ai anai. ʼE au palalau anai ki taku tamai ʼo ʼuhiga mo koe, pea kapau ʼe ʼi ai he logo, ʼe au fakaha moʼoni atu anai.”+
4 Koia, neʼe palalau lelei ia Sonatane kia Saulo tana tamai ʼo ʼuhiga mo Tavite.+ Neʼe ina ui age: “ ʼAua naʼa agahala te hau ki tana tagata faifekau ko Tavite, koteʼuhi neʼe mole agahala ia kia koe kae neʼe fua lelei kia koe te ʼu meʼa ʼae neʼe ina fai. 5 Neʼe feala pe ke mate ʼi tana haga ʼo matehi te tagata Filisitini+ pea neʼe foaki e Sehova he toe malo lahi ki Iselaele katoa. Neʼe ke sio ki te faʼahi ʼaia, pea neʼe ke fiafia ʼaupito ai. Koia he koʼe ʼe ke agahala anai ki he tahi neʼe mole ina fai he meʼa ʼe kovi, ʼo ke matehi ia Tavite kae mole hona tupuʼaga?”+ 6 Pea neʼe fakalogo leva ia Saulo kia Sonatane ʼo ina fakapapau age: “ ʼE au fakapapau atu ia muʼa ʼo Sehova, te ʼAtua maʼuli, ʼe mole au matehi anai ia ia.” 7 Hili ʼaia, neʼe pauʼi e Sonatane ia Tavite ʼo ina fakaha age te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼaia. Neʼe ʼave leva e Sonatane ia Tavite kia Saulo, pea neʼe hoko atu pe tana gaue kia ia ohage pe ko te temi muʼa.+
8 Ki muli age, neʼe toe fai te tau. Neʼe alu ai ia Tavite ʼo tauʼi te kau Filisitini pea neʼe lahi ai te mātea ʼi te kau Filisitini, kae feholaki ia natou ʼae neʼe hao ʼi te tau.
9 Pea neʼe tuku e Sehova ke hoha te loto ʼo Saulo,*+ ʼi te temi ʼae neʼe heka ai ʼi tona loto fale pea neʼe ina toʼo tana tao ʼi tona nima, kae lolotoga ta alepa ia Tavite.+ 10 Pea neʼe faiga e Saulo ke ina hokaʼi ia Tavite ki te kaupa ʼaki te tao, kae neʼe kalo ia, pea neʼe tau te tao ʼi te kaupa. Neʼe hola leva ia Tavite ʼi te po ʼaia. 11 Ki muli age, neʼe fekauʼi e Saulo he kau tagata ʼave logo ke natou leʼo te ʼapi ʼo Tavite pea ke natou matehi ia ia ʼi te ʼala uhu ake.+ Kae neʼe ui age e Mikale te ʼohoana ʼo Tavite ki ai: “Kapau ʼe mole ke hola ʼi te po ʼaeni, ʼe ke mate anai apogipogi.” 12 Neʼe foimo fakahifo e Mikale ia Tavite ʼi te matapa fakamalama, ke feala ai hana hola pea mo hao ai. 13 Neʼe toʼo leva e Mikale he fakatata* ʼo ina fakatakoto ki te palepale, mo ina ʼai he ʼu fuluʼi tao ʼi te faʼahi ʼae neʼe ʼuluga ki ai ia Tavite, pea neʼe ina ʼuʼufi ʼaki he kofu.
14 Pea neʼe fekauʼi leva e Saulo he kau tagata ʼave logo ke natou puke ia Tavite, kae neʼe ui age e Mikale: “ ʼE mahaki.” 15 Koia neʼe toe fekauʼi e Saulo te kau tagata ʼave logo ke natou olo ʼo vakaʼi ia Tavite, pea neʼe ina ui kia natou: “Kotou fata mai ia ia ʼi tona palepale ke au matehi ia ia.”+ 16 ʼI tanatou ʼulu ki loto, neʼe ʼi ai te fakatata* ʼi te palepale pea mo he ʼu fuluʼi tao ʼi te faʼahi ʼae neʼe ʼuluga ki ai Tavite. 17 Neʼe ui e Saulo kia Mikale: “He koʼe neʼe ke kakaʼi feiaʼi au pea mo ke tuku toku fili+ ke hola?” Neʼe tali age e Mikale kia Saulo: “Neʼe ina ui mai: ‘Tuku ke au alu, naʼa au matehi koe!’ ”
18 Neʼe hola leva ia Tavite ke tupu ai hana hao, pea neʼe alu kia Samuele ʼi Lama.+ Neʼe ina fakamatala age te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae neʼe fai e Saulo kia ia. Pea neʼe alu ai mo Samuele ʼo nā nonofo ʼi Nasote.+ 19 Ki muli age, neʼe fakaha kia Saulo: “Koʼeni ʼe nofo ia Tavite ʼi Nasote, ʼi Lama.” 20 Neʼe fekauʼi atu aipe e Saulo he kau tagata ʼave logo ke natou olo ʼo puke ia Tavite. Neʼe natou sisio ai ki te faifakakikite ʼa te kau polofeta ʼae kua vaivavai pea mo te takitaki ʼo natou e Samuele. ʼI te temi ʼaia, neʼe hifo ai te laumalie ʼo te ʼAtua ki te kau tagata ʼave logo ʼa Saulo, pea neʼe toe hage foki tanatou aga ko he kau polofeta.
21 ʼI tanatou fakaha age kia Saulo te faʼahi ʼaia, neʼe ina foimo fekauʼi atu aipe te tahi kau tagata ʼave logo, kae neʼe toe hage foki tanatou aga ko he kau polofeta. Koia, neʼe toe fekauʼi e Saulo te tahi age kau tagata ʼave logo, ko te tolu kutuga ʼaia, kae neʼe toe hage foki tanatou aga ko he kau polofeta. 22 Ki muli age, neʼe toe alu mo ia ki Lama. ʼI tana tau atu ki te foʼi tane lahi ʼae ʼi Seku, neʼe ina fehuʼi: “Kofea ia Samuele mo Tavite?” Neʼe natou tali age: “Koʼena naua ʼi Nasote,+ ʼi Lama.” 23 ʼI te alu ʼaia ʼa Saulo ki Nasote, ʼi Lama, neʼe toe hifo foki te laumalie ʼo te ʼAtua kia ia. Pea ʼi tana haʼele ʼaia, neʼe hage tana aga ko he polofeta ʼo kaku ki tana tau atu ki Nasote, ʼi Lama. 24 Neʼe ina toe huʼi foki ʼona mutuʼi meʼa, pea neʼe toe hage foki tana aga ko he polofeta ia muʼa ʼo Samuele, pea neʼe takoto telefua ai* ʼi te ʼaho katoa ʼaia mo te po katoa. Ko te tupuʼaga la ʼaia ʼo te ui: “ ʼE toe kau koa mo Saulo ʼi te kau polofeta?”+
