1Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hili ange ʻae taʻu ʻe taha, ʻi he faʻahitaʻu ʻaia ʻoku faʻa ʻalu atu ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ke fai ʻae tau , naʻe tataki atu ʻe Soape ʻae mālohi ʻoe kautau, pea naʻa ne fakalala ʻae fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea naʻa ne hoko atu ʻo kāpui ʻa Lapa ʻaki ʻae tau. Ka naʻe nofo pe ʻa Tevita ʻi Selūsalema. Pea naʻe kapa ʻa Lapa ʻe Soape, mo ne fakaʻauha ia.
1In the spring, at the time when kings march out to war, Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the Ammonites. He came to Rabbah and besieged it, but David remained in Jerusalem. And Joab attacked Rabbah and demolished it.
2Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Tevita ʻae tatā fakatuʻi mei he ʻulu ʻo honau tuʻi, pea ko hono mamafa ko e taleniti koula ʻe taha, pea naʻe fonofono ki ai ʻae ngaahi maka mahuʻinga; pea naʻe ʻai ia ki he fofonga ʻo Tevita: pea naʻa ne fetuku foki mei he kolo ʻae koloa lahi ʻaupito.
2Then David took the crown from the head of their king. It was found to weigh a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city.
3Pea naʻa ne ʻomi kituaʻā ʻae kakai naʻe nofo ʻi ai, mo ne kilisi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae kili, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa keli ukamea, pea mo e ngaahi toki. Naʻe fai pehē ʻe Tevita ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, Pea naʻe foki mai ʻa Tevita pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ki Selūsalema.
3David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes. And he did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.
4¶ Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻi Kesa mo e kakai Filisitia; pea ko e kuonga ia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻa Sipei ʻe Sipikei ko e tangata Husa, ko e taha ʻi he fānau ʻoe tangata sino lahi ʻaupito: pea naʻe ikuna ʻakinautolu.
4Some time later, war broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were subdued.
5Pea naʻe toe fai ʻae tau mo e kakai Filisitia: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Elihanani ko e foha ʻo Saele ʻo Laami ko e tehina ʻo Kolaia ko e tangata Kati, ʻaia naʻe tatau hono foʻi tao mo e ʻakau lalanga ʻoe tangata lalanga tupenu.
5Once again there was a battle with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
6Pea naʻe toe fai foki ʻae tau ʻi Kati, pea naʻe ʻi ai ha tangata fuʻu lahi ʻaupito, ʻaia naʻe uofulu ma fā ʻa hono kupuʻi nima mo hono kupuʻi vaʻe, ko e taki ono ʻi he nima, mo e taki ono ʻi he vaʻe: pea ko e foha foki ia ʻoe tangata sino lahi ʻaupito.
6And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,
7Ka ʻi heʻene polepole tau ki ʻIsileli naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Simia ko e tokoua ʻo Tevita.
7and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
8Naʻe fanauʻi ʻakinautolu ni ki he fuʻu tangata lahi ʻaupito ʻi Kati; pea naʻa nau tō ʻo mate ʻi he nima ʻo Tevita pea ʻi he nima ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
8So these descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
