1David therefore went from thence and fled to the cave of Odollam. And when his brethren, and all his father’s house had heard of it, they went down to him thither;
1Ko ia naʻe ʻalu mei ai ʻa Tevita, pea hao ʻo hoko atu ki he ʻana ʻo ʻAtulami: pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻa hono ngaahi kāinga mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai, naʻa nau ʻalu hifo ai kiate ia.
2And all that were in distress and oppressed with debt, and under affliction of mind gathered themselves unto him: and he became their prince, and there were with him about four hundred men.
2Mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe mamahi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe moʻua, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe loto mamahi, naʻa nau fakakātoa ʻakinautolu kiate ia; pea hoko ia ko e ʻeiki pule kiate kinautolu: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fāngeau nai.
3And David departed from thence into Maspha of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab: Let my father and my mother tarry with you, I beseech thee, till I know what God will do for me.
3¶ Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Tevita ki Misipa ʻo Moape: pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he tuʻi ʻo Moape, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe tuku ke haʻu ʻeku tamai mo ʻeku faʻē, ke nofo kiate koe, ke ʻoua ke u hoko ʻo ʻilo ʻaia ʻe fai ʻe he ʻOtua maʻaku.”
4And he left them under the eyes of the king of Moab, and they abode with him all the days that David was in the hold.
4Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Moape: pea naʻa nau nonofo mo ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē naʻe nofo ai ʻa Tevita ʻi he ʻana.
5And Gad the prophet said to David: Abide not in the hold, depart, and go into the land of Juda. And David departed, and came into the forest of Haret.
5¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he palōfita ko Kata kia Tevita, “ʻOua naʻa ke nofo ʻi he ʻana; ʻalu, pea ke mole atu ki he fonua ʻo Siuta.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Tevita, pea hoko atu ki he vaoʻakau ʻo Halete.
6And Saul heard that David was seen, and the men that were with him. Now whilst Saul abode in Gabaa, and was in the wood, which is by Rama, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him,
6¶ Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Saula kuo ʻilo ʻa Tevita mo e kau tangata naʻe ʻiate ia (pea naʻe nofo ʻa Saula ʻi Kipea ʻi he lolo ʻakau ʻi Lama, naʻe ʻi hono nima hono tao, pea tuʻu takatakai kiate ia ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē).
7He said to his servants that stood about him: Hear me now, ye sons of Jemini: will the son of Isai give everyone of you fields, and vineyards, and make you all tribunes, and centurions:
7Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia, “ʻAe kau Penisimani, mou tokanga mai; ʻe foaki koā ʻe he foha ʻo Sese kiate kimoutolu taki taha ʻae ngaahi ngoue, mo e ngoue vaine, pea ne ngaohi ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ke ʻeiki ki he ngaahi toko afe, mo e ngaahi toko teau;
8That all of you have conspired against me, and there is no one to inform me, especially when even my son hath entered into league with the soil of Isai? There is not one of you that pitieth my case, nor that giveth me any information: because my son hath raised up my servant against me, plotting against me to this day.
8koeʻuhi ke mou alea ai ke angatuʻu kotoa pē kiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku fakahā kiate au kuo alea pau ʻa hoku foha mo e foha ʻo Sese, pea ʻoku ʻikai hamou tokotaha ʻoku ʻofa kiate au, pe fakahā kiate au, kuo langaʻi ʻe hoku foha ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ke angatuʻu kiate au, ke toitoi ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai he ʻaho ni?”
9And Doeg the Edomite who stood by, and was the chief among the servants of Saul, answering, said: I saw the son of Isai, in Nobe with Achimelech the son of Achitob the priest.
9¶ Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa Toeki ko e tangata ʻItomi, ʻaia kuo fakanofo ki he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Saula, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻaku mamata ki he foha ʻo Sese, naʻe haʻu ia ki Nopi, kia ʻAhimeleki ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupe.
10And he consulted the Lord for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
10Pea naʻa ne fehuʻi kia Sihova maʻana, ʻo ne ʻatu kiate ia ʻae meʻakai, mo ne ʻatu kiate ia ʻae heletā ʻa Kolaiate ko e tangata Filisitia.”
11Then the king sent to call for Achimelech the priest the son of Achitob, and all his father’s house, the priests that were in Nobe, and they came all of them to the king.
11Pea naʻe fekau leva ʻe he tuʻi ke ʻomi ʻa ʻAhimeleki ko e taulaʻeiki, ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupe, mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai, ʻae kau taulaʻeiki naʻe ʻi Nopi pea naʻa nau haʻu kotoa pē ki he tuʻi
12And Saul said to Achimelech: Hear, thou son of Achitob. He answered: Here I am, my lord.
12Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula, “Ko eni, fanongo, ʻa koe ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupe. Pea pehē ʻe ia, ʻE hoku ʻeiki ko au eni.”
13And Saul said to him: Why have you conspired against me, thou, and the son of Isai, and thou hast given him bread and a sword, and hast consulted the Lord for him, that he should rise up against me, continuing a traitor to this day.
13Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula kiate ia, “Ko e hā kuo mou alea mo angatuʻu fakataha ai kiate au, ʻa koe mo e foha ʻo Sese, koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻo ʻatu kiate ia ʻae mā, mo e heletā, mo ke fehuʻi ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko ia; koeʻuhi ke angatuʻu ia kiate au, mo toitoi, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai he ʻaho ni?”
14And Achimelech answering the king, said: And who amongst all thy servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son in law, and goeth forth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thy house?
14Pea naʻe leaange ʻa ʻAhimeleki ki he tuʻi, ʻo ne pehē, “Pea ko hai ʻoku angatonu ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo hangē ko Tevita, ʻaia ko e foha ʻi he fono ki he tuʻi, pea ʻoku ʻalu ʻi hoʻo fekau, pea ʻoku ongoongolelei ʻi ho fale?
15Did I begin today to consult the Lord for him? far be this from me: let not the king suspect such a thing against his servant, or any one in all my father’s house: for thy servant knew nothing of this matter, either little or great.
15He ko ʻeku kamata fehuʻi ia ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko ia? Ke mamaʻo ia ʻiate au: ke ʻoua naʻa tuku kovi ʻe he tuʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, pe ki he fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻeku tamai: he naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ha meʻa siʻi ʻi he meʻa ni kotoa pē, ha meʻa siʻi pe ha meʻa lahi.”
16And the king said: Dying thou shalt die, Achimelech, thou and all thy father’s house.
16Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻAhimeleki, ko e moʻoni te ke mate, ʻa koe, mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo tamai.”
17And the king said to the messengers that stood about him: Turn, and kill the priests of the Lord, for their hand is with David, because they knew that he was fled, and they told it not to me. And the king’s servants would not put forth their hands against the priests of the Lord.
17¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ki he kau tangata naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia, “Mou hanga ʻo tāmateʻi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻa Sihova: koeʻuhi kuo fekuki honau nima mo Tevita pea koeʻuhi naʻa nau ʻilo ʻene hola, pea naʻe ʻikai fakahā ia kiate au.” Ka naʻe ʻikai fie mafao atu honau nima ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ke taaʻi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻa Sihova.
18And the king said to Doeg: Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and fell upon the priests and slew in that day eighty-five men that wore the linen ephod.
18Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Toeki, “Tafoki koe,” pea ke taaʻi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki. Pea naʻe tafoki ʻa Toeki ko e tangata ʻItomi, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki, pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae tangata ʻe toko valungofulu ma toko nima, ʻaia naʻa nau ʻai ʻae ʻefoti ʻoe tupenu lelei.
19And Nobe the city of the priests he smote with the edge of his sword, both men and women, children, and sucklings, and ox and ass, and sheep with the edge of the sword.
19Pea ko Nopi ko e kolo ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, naʻa ne taaʻi ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, ʻae kau tangata mo e kau fefine, ʻae fānau mo e tamaiki huhu, ʻae fanga pulu, mo e fanga ʻasi, mo e fanga sipi, ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā.
20But one of the sons of Achimelech the son of Achitob, whose name was Abiathar, escaped, and fled to David,
20¶ Pea ko e tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻAhimeleki ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupe, naʻe ui ko ʻApiata, naʻe hao ia, pea hola kia Tevita.
21And told him that Saul had slain the priests of the Lord.
21Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe ʻApiata kia Tevita ʻae tāmateʻi ʻe Saula ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻa Sihova.
22And David said to Abiathar: I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there, that without doubt he would tell Saul: I have been the occasion of the death of all the souls of thy father’s house.
22Pea pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻApiata, “Ne u ʻilo ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻa Toeki ko e tangata ʻItomi, koeʻuhi te ne tala moʻoni ia kia Saula: kuo tupu ʻiate au ʻenau tāmateʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻo hoʻo tamai.
23Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life, seeketh thy life also, and with me thou shalt be saved.
23Ka ke nofo koe kiate au, pea ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē: he ko ia ʻoku ne kumi ʻeku moʻui, ʻoku ne kumi hoʻo moʻui: ka ʻi hoʻo ʻiate au te ke maluʻia ai.”
