ʼUluaki Samuele

28 ʼI te temi ʼaia, neʼe fakatahiʼi e te kau Filisitini ʼanatou kautau ke natou tauʼi ia Iselaele.+ Neʼe ui e Akise kia Tavite: “ ʼE mahino ia, ʼe ke iloʼi ʼe kotou ʼomai anai mo au, ia koe mo ʼau tagata ki te tau.”+ 2 Neʼe ui e Tavite kia Akise: “Ko au tau tagata faifekau. ʼE ke iloʼi lelei pe te meʼa ʼae ka au fai.” Neʼe ui e Akise kia Tavite: “Ko te tupuʼaga la ʼaia ʼo taku fakanofo anai koe ko taku tagata leʼo ʼi te temi fuli pe.”*+

3 Neʼe kua mate ia Samuele pea neʼe faifetagihi ia Iselaele katoa pea mo ʼavaifo ia ia ʼi Lama, tona kolo.+ Pea neʼe pulihi e Saulo ʼi te fenua te hahaʼi ʼae ʼe ko tanatou gaue ko te felogoi mo te kau mate pea mo te hahaʼi faifakakikite fakatemonio.+

4 Neʼe fakatahitahi te kau Filisitini pea neʼe natou olo ʼo fakatuʼu tonatou nofoʼaga ʼi Sunemi.+ Pea neʼe fakatahitahiʼi e Saulo ia Iselaele katoa, ʼo natou fakatuʼu tonatou nofoʼaga ʼi Kilipoa.+ 5 ʼI te sio ʼa Saulo ki te nofoʼaga ʼo te kau Filisitini, neʼe mataku ʼo ta vave ai tona mafu.+ 6 Neʼe fakafehuʼi e Saulo ia Sehova,+ kae neʼe mole tali age e Sehova ʼi he temi, ʼaki he ʼu moemisi, peʼe ʼaki te Ulime+ peʼe ʼaki te kau polofeta. 7 Neʼe ui leva e Saulo ki ʼana tagata faifekau: “Kotou kumi he fafine ʼe felogoi mo te kau mate,+ ke au alu ki ai.” Neʼe tali age e ʼana tagata faifekau: “Koʼeni ʼe ʼi ai te fafine ʼe felogoi mo te kau mate ʼi Ene-toli.”+

8 Koia, neʼe tui ai e Saulo he tahi age ʼu teu ke mole iloʼi ia ia pea neʼe alu ʼi te poʼuli mo ʼana tagata ʼe toko lua ki te fafine ʼaia. Neʼe ina ui age: “Fakalelei siʼou loto, fakaʼaogaʼi ʼou fealagia ʼae ke ke felogoi mo te kau mate moʼo fakaha mai ia te ka haʼu,+ pea ke pauʼi mai ia ia ʼae ka au ui atu.” 9 Kae neʼe tali age e te fafine ki ai: “ ʼE ke iloʼi lelei pe te meʼa ʼae neʼe fai e Saulo, tana pulihi ʼi te fenua te hahaʼi ʼae ʼe ko tanatou gaue ko te felogoi mo te kau mate pea mo te hahaʼi faifakakikite fakatemonio.+ Koia, he koʼe ʼe ke faiga ke au* to ki te hele ʼaia, ke matehi ai au?”+ 10 Neʼe fakapapau leva e Saulo kia ia ʼi te huafa ʼo Sehova: “ ʼE au fakapapau atu ia muʼa ʼo Sehova, te ʼAtua maʼuli, ʼe mole tukugakoviʼi anai koe ʼo ʼuhiga mo te faʼahi ʼaeni!” 11 Pea neʼe ui e te fafine: “Ko ai ʼae ʼe ke loto ke au pauʼi?” Neʼe ina tali age: “Pauʼi mai ia Samuele.” 12 ʼI te temi ʼae neʼe sio ai te fafine kia “Samuele,”*+ neʼe kalaga leʼo lahi ʼosi, ʼo ina ui kia Saulo: “He koʼe neʼe ke kakaʼi au? ʼE ko koe ko Saulo!” 13 Neʼe ui e te hau ki ai: “ ʼAua naʼa ke mataku. Kotea la ʼae ʼe ke sio ki ai?” Neʼe tali e te fafine kia Saulo: “ ʼE au sio ki he tahi ʼe hage ko he ʼatua ʼe hake ake mai te kele.” 14 ʼI te moʼi temi pe ʼaia, neʼe ina fehuʼi ki te fafine: “ ʼE feafeaʼi ia ia?” Pea neʼe ina tali age: “Ko te tagata ʼae ʼe hake mai kua matuʼa, pea ʼe ina tui hona kofu tuʼa.”+ Neʼe mahino ai leva ia Saulo neʼe ko “Samuele” pea neʼe punou mo tulolo ki te kele.

15 Pea neʼe ui leva e “Samuele” kia Saulo: “He koʼe neʼe ke fakaleluʼi au, ʼo ke pauʼi au?” Neʼe ui e Saulo: “ ʼE au tau nei mo he aluʼaga faigataʼa. ʼE tauʼi au e te kau Filisitini, pea kua mavae te ʼAtua ia au. ʼE mole kei palalau mai kia au ʼaki te kau polofeta peʼe ʼaki he ʼu moemisi.+ Ko te tupuʼaga la ʼaia ʼo taku pauʼi koe ke ke fakaha mai te meʼa ʼae ʼe tonu ke au fai.”+

16 Pea neʼe ui e “Samuele”: “He koʼe ʼe ke fakafehuʼi au kae kua mavae ia Sehova ia koe+ pea kua liliu ko tou fili? 17 ʼE fai anai e Sehova te meʼa ʼaeni neʼe ina tala atu ʼaki ia au: ʼE toʼo anai e Sehova te puleʼaga mai ʼou nima pea ʼe ina foaki anai ki he tahi age tagata, kia Tavite.+ 18 Neʼe mole ke fakalogo ki te leʼo ʼo Sehova pea neʼe mole ke pulihi te kau Amaleke ʼae neʼe natou fakatupu tona hauhau.+ Koia ʼae ʼe fai ai e Sehova te faʼahi ʼaia kia koe ʼi te ʼaho nei. 19 Pea ʼe toe tuku anai e Sehova ia Iselaele mo koe ki te ʼu nima ʼo te kau Filisitini,+ pea apogipogi ko koe+ mo ʼou foha+ ʼe kotou fakatahi anai mo au. ʼE toe tuku foki e Sehova te kautau ʼo Iselaele ki te ʼu nima ʼo te kau Filisitini.”+

20 ʼI te temi pe ʼaia, neʼe to ifo ia Saulo ki te kele pea neʼe mataku ʼaupito ʼuhi ko te ʼu palalau ʼae neʼe fai e “Samuele.” Pea neʼe mole kei ʼi ai hona malohi, he neʼe mole kai ʼi te ʼaho katoa mo te po katoa. 21 ʼI te haʼu ʼa te fafine kia Saulo pea mo sio ki te lahi ʼo tona hoha, neʼe ina ui age ki ai: “Neʼe au fakalogo ki te meʼa ʼae neʼe ke ui mai, pea neʼe feala pe ke au mate+ ʼi taku fai te meʼa ʼae neʼe ke kole mai. 22 Koia, fakalelei siʼou loto, fakalogo ki te meʼa ʼae ʼe au ui atu. Ke au tuku ʼi ʼou muʼa he moʼi pane ke ke kai, ke maʼu ai hou malohi pea hoki ke alu leva.” 23 Kae neʼe fakafisi ia ʼo ina ui: “ ʼE mole au kai anai.” Kae neʼe fakakinauʼi e ʼana tagata faifekau pea mo te fafine. Neʼe fakalogo ai kia natou, pea neʼe tuʼu ake ʼo heka ʼi te palepale. 24 Neʼe maʼu e te fafine ʼi tona ʼapi he ʼuhiʼi pipi neʼe sino lelei. Neʼe foimo alu atu aipe ʼo matehi* pea neʼe ina toʼo he falena ʼo natu, mo fakamoho ni pane hala fakatupu. 25 Neʼe ina ʼaumai te ʼu meʼa ʼaia kia Saulo mo ʼana tagata faifekau ʼo natou kakai ai. Hili ʼaia, neʼe natou tutuʼu ake ʼo olo ʼi te po pe ʼaia.+
