1 ʻOku fehuʻi ʻe Tevita kia Sihova ʻia ʻApiata pea ne fakahaofi ʻa Kiʻila. 7 ʻI he fakahā kiate ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻe haʻu ʻa Saula, mo e kākā ʻoe kakai Kiʻila, ʻoku ne hola ia mei Kiʻila. 14 ʻOku hoko ʻa Sonatane kiate ia ʻi Sifi ʻo ne fakafiemālieʻi ia. 19 ʻOku fakahā ia ʻe he kakai Sifi kia Saula. 25 ʻOku fakahaofi ia meia Saula ʻi Maoni ʻi he hoko mai ʻae tau ʻae kau Filisitia. 29 ʻOku nofo ia ʻi Eniketi.
1 Pea naʻa nau fakahā kia Tevita ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku tauʻi ʻe he kakai Filisitia ʻa Kiʻila, ʻonau kaihaʻa mei he ngaahi hahaʻanga.” 2 Pea naʻe fehuʻi ai ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Te u ʻalu ʻo taaʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia? Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Tevita, ʻAlu, pea taaʻi ʻae kau Filisitia, pea fakamoʻui ʻa Kiʻila.” 3 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻo Tevita kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku mau manavahē ni ʻi Siuta: pea ʻe fēfē hono lahi hake, ʻo kapau te tau hoko ki Kiʻila ke tauʻi ʻae ngaahi tau ʻae kakai Filisitia.” 4 Pea naʻe toe fehuʻi ʻe Tevita kia Sihova. Pea naʻe talia ia ʻe Sihova ʻo ne pehē, “Tuʻu ʻo ʻalu hifo ki Kiʻila; he te u tukuange ʻae kakai Filisitia ki ho nima.” 5 Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata ki Kiʻila, pea naʻe tauʻi ʻae kau Filisitia, pea fetuku mei ai ʻenau ngaahi fanga manu lalahi, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he tāmateʻi lahi. Pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe Tevita ʻae kakai ʻo Kiʻila 6 Pea ʻi he hola ʻa ʻApiata ko e foha ʻo ʻAhimeleki ki Kiʻila, naʻa ne ʻalu hifo mo e ʻefoti ʻi hono nima.
7 ¶ Pea naʻe tala kia Saula kuo hoko ʻa Tevita ki Kiʻila. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula, “Kuo tuku mai ia ʻe he ʻOtua ki hoku nima; he kuo tāpuni ia ki loto, ʻi heʻene hū ki ha kolo ʻoku ai hano ngaahi matapā mo e ngaahi songo.” 8 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Saula ke kātoa fakataha ʻae kakai kotoa pē ke tau, ke ʻalu hifo ki Kiʻila ke tauʻi ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata.
9 ¶ Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe Tevita ʻoku faʻa fai kovi fakafufū ʻe Saula kiate ia; pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia ʻApiata ko e taulaʻeiki, “ʻOmi ki heni ʻae ʻefoti.” 10 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e moʻoni kuo fanongo ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻoku tokanga ʻa Saula ke haʻu ki Kiʻila, ke fakaʻauha ʻae kolo koeʻuhi ko au. 11 ‌ʻE tukuange au ʻe he kakai ʻo Kiʻila ki hono nima? ʻE ʻalu hifo ʻa Saula ʻo hangē ko ia kuo ongoʻi ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki? ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tala ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻE ʻalu hifo ia.” 12 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻE tukuange au mo hoku kakai ʻe he kakai ʻo Kiʻila ki he nima ʻo Saula?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, “Tenau tukuange koe.”
13 ¶ Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata ko e toko onongeau nai, ʻonau hiki mei Kiʻila, ʻonau ʻalu pē ʻi he ngaahi potu ne nau faʻa lava ki ai. Pea naʻe tala kia Saula kuo hola ʻa Tevita mei Kiʻila; pea ne tuku ai ʻene ʻalu ki ai. 14 Pea nofo ʻa Tevita ʻi he toafa ʻi he ngaahi toitoiʻanga mālohi, ʻo nofo ʻi he moʻunga ʻi he toafa ʻo Sifi. Pea naʻe kumi ia ʻe Saula ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ka naʻe fakamoʻui ia ʻe he ʻOtua mei hono nima. 15 Pea naʻe mamata ʻa Tevita kuo haʻu kituʻa ʻa Saula ke kumi ʻene moʻui: pea naʻe ʻi he toafa ʻo Sifi ʻa Tevita ʻi he vaoʻakau.
16 ¶ Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Saula ʻo ʻalu kia Tevita ki he loto vaoʻakau, ʻo ne fakamālohi hono nima ʻi he ʻOtua. 17 Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē: he ko e nima ʻo Saula ko ʻeku tamai ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo koe; pea te ke hoko ko e tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli, pea ko au te u hoko kiate koe; pea ʻoku ʻilo foki ia ʻe heʻeku tamai ko Saula.” 18 Pea ne na fefuakava ʻaki ʻakinaua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe nofo ʻa Tevita ʻi he vaoʻakau, kae ʻalu ʻa Sonatane ki hono fale. 19 Pea naʻe toki ʻalu hake ʻae kakai Sifi kia Saula ki Kipea, ʻo pehē, “ʻIkai ʻoku toitoi ʻa Tevita ʻiate kimautolu ʻi he ngaahi toitoiʻanga mālohi ʻi he loto vaoʻakau, ʻi he moʻunga ʻo Hakila, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu tonga ʻo Sesimoni? 20 Pea ko eni, ʻE tuʻi, ke ke ʻalu hifo ʻo fakatatau ki he holi kotoa pē ʻa ho loto: pea ko ʻemau ngāue ia ke tukuange ia ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.” 21 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula, “Ke monūʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻia Sihova; he ʻoku mou angaʻofa mai kiate au. 22 Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, mou tokonaki, pea ʻilo mo mamata ki he potu ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai hono vaʻe, pea ko hai naʻa ne mamata kiate ia ʻi ai: he kuo tala kiate au ʻoku ne fai fakapotopoto ʻaupito. 23 Ko ia mou vakai, pea ʻilo lelei ʻa hono ngaahi toitoiʻanga kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku ne fufū ai ia, pea mou toe haʻu kiate au, ʻo fakapapau, pea te tau ō mo au: pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kapau ʻoku ʻi he fonua ia, te u fakatotolo ia ʻi he ngaahi toko afe ʻo Siuta.” 24 Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu ki Sifi, ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻia Saula: ka naʻe ʻi he toafa ʻo Maoni ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata, ʻi he tafangafanga ʻi he potu tonga ʻo Sesimoni. 25 Pea naʻe ʻalu foki ʻa Saula mo hono kau tangata ko hono kumi. Pea naʻa nau tala kia Tevita: ko ia naʻe ʻalu hifo ai ia mei he maka, pea nofo ʻi he toafa ʻo Maoni. Pea naʻe fanongo ʻa Saula ki ai, pea kumi ʻe ia kia Tevita ʻi he toafa ʻo Maoni. 26 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Saula ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻoe moʻunga, pea ko Tevita mo hono tau tangata naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi hono potu ʻe taha ʻoe moʻunga: pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ʻa Tevita ke ʻalu mamaʻo ko ʻene manavahē kia Saula; ka naʻe ʻākilotoa mo kāpui ʻa Tevita mo hono kakai ʻe Saula mo hono kakai ke maʻu ʻakinautolu. 27 Ka naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata fekau kia Saula, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke fakatoʻotoʻo, pea haʻu, he kuo hoko ʻae tau ʻae kau Filisitia, ki he fonua.” 28 Ko ia naʻe foki ai ʻa Saula mei heʻene tuli ʻa Tevita, ʻo ne ʻalu ke tuli ʻae kau Filisitia: ko ia naʻe ui ai ʻae potu ko ia ko Sela-Hamalikoti.
29 ¶ Pea naʻe ʻalu hake mei ai ʻa Tevita, ʻo nofo ʻi he ngaahi potu toitoiʻanga mālohi ʻi Eni-Keti.
