1 ʻI he hili ʻa e mate ʻa Saulá, pea kuo foki mai ʻa Tēvita mei heʻene ikunaʻi* ʻa e kau ʻAmalekí, pea naʻe nofo ʻa Tēvita ʻi Sikilaki+ ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ua. 2 ʻI he ʻaho hono tolú, naʻe haʻu ha tangata mei he ʻapitanga ʻo Saulá kuo haehae hono ngaahi kofú pea fakaefuefu hono ʻulú. ʻI heʻene fakaofiofi kia Tēvitá, naʻá ne tō hifo ki he kelekelé peá ne fakatōmapeʻe.
3 Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe Tēvita kiate ia: “Ko hoʻo haʻú mei fē?” Naʻá ne tali ange: “Kuó u hola mai mei he ʻapitanga ʻo ʻIsilelí.” 4 Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe Tēvita kiate ia: “Naʻe fēfē ʻa e ngaahi meʻá? Tala mai muʻa kiate au.” ʻI he meʻá ni naʻá ne tali ange: “Ko e kakaí kuo nau hola mei he taú pea kuo tō ʻa e tokolahi pea kuo nau mate. Kuo mate foki ʻa Saula mo hono foha ko Sionatané.”+ 5 Naʻe ʻeke ange leva ʻe Tēvita ki he talavou naʻe haʻu kiate ia mo e ongoongó: “ʻOku anga-fēfē hoʻo ʻilo kuo mate ʻa Saula mo hono foha ko Sionatané?” 6 Naʻe tali ange ʻe he talavoú: “Naʻe fāinoa pē ʻa ʻeku ʻi Moʻunga Kilipoá,+ pea tā ko Saula ʻena naʻá ne falala ki heʻene taó, pea ko e ngaahi salioté mo e kau tangata heka hōsí kuo nau mei maʻu ia.+ 7 ʻI heʻene tafoki hake ʻo sio mai kiate aú, naʻá ne ui mai, peá u tali atu, ‘Ko au eni!’ 8 Naʻá ne fehuʻi mai kiate au, ‘Ko hai koe?’ Naʻá ku tali ange, ‘Ko e ʻAmaleki au.’+ 9 Naʻá ne pehē mai leva: ‘Haʻu muʻa ʻo tāmateʻi au, he ko e langa lahi ʻoku ʻiate aú, ka ʻoku ou kei moʻui pē.’ 10 Ko ia naʻá ku tuʻu atu ʻo tāmateʻi ia,+ he naʻá ku ʻiloʻi ʻe ʻikai malava ke ne toe moʻui hili ʻene tō kuo laveá. Pea naʻá ku toʻo ʻa e kalauni naʻe ʻi hono ʻulú mo e vesa naʻe ʻi hono nimá, pea kuó u ʻomai ia ki heni ki hoku ʻeikí.”
11 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe ala ʻa Tēvita ki hono ngaahi kofú ʻo ne hae hifo ia, pea naʻe fai pehē mo e kau tangata kotoa naʻe ʻiate iá. 12 Pea naʻa nau tangilāulau mo tengihia pea mo ʻaukai+ ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi koeʻuhi ko Saula, mo hono foha ko Sionatané, mo e kakai ʻa Sihová pea mo e fale ʻo ʻIsilelí,+ koeʻuhi he kuo nau tō ʻi he heletaá.
13 Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe Tēvita ki he talavou naʻe haʻu mo e ongoongó: “Ko hoʻo haʻú mei fē?” Naʻá ne tali: “Ko e foha au ʻo ha tokotaha muli, ko e ʻAmaleki.” 14 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Tēvita kiate ia: “Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai te ke manavahē ai ke hiki ho nimá ʻo tāmateʻi ʻa e pani ʻa Sihová?”+ 15 Ko ia naʻe ui mai ʻe Tēvita ʻa e taha ʻo e kau talavoú peá ne pehē: “Laka atu ʻo taaʻi ia.” Ko ia naʻá ne taaʻi hifo ia, peá ne mate.+ 16 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Tēvita kiate ia: “Ko ho totó ʻoku ʻi ho tumuʻakí pē, koeʻuhí kuo fakamoʻoni kiate koe ho ngutú tonu ʻi hoʻo pehē, ‘Ko au naʻá ku tāmateʻi+ ʻa e pani ʻa Sihová.’”
17 Pea naʻe tangilāulau ʻaki ʻe Tēvita ʻa e taʻanga tangí ni* ʻo kau kia Saula mo hono foha ko Sionatané+ 18 peá ne pehē ke akoʻi ki he kakai ʻo Siutá ʻa e taʻanga tangi ʻoku ui “Ko e Kaufaná,” ʻa ia ʻoku hiki ʻi he tohi Saisá:+
19 “Ko ho fakaʻofoʻofá, ʻe ʻIsileli, ʻoku tokoto kuo mate ʻi ho ngaahi potu māʻolungá.+
ʻOi, he tō tau ʻa e haʻa mālohí!
20 ʻOua ʻe tala ia ʻi Kati;+
ʻOua ʻe fanongonongo ia ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo ʻAsikeloní,
Naʻa fiefia ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo e kau Filisitiá,
Naʻa hākahaka ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo e kau tangata taʻekamú.
21 ʻA kimoutolu ngaahi moʻunga ʻo Kilipoá,+
Ke ʻoua naʻa ʻi ai ha hahau pe ko ha ʻuha ʻiate kimoutolu,
Pe ko ha ngaahi ngoue te ne ʻomi ha ngaahi meʻaʻofa toputapu,+
Koeʻuhi naʻe kelekelea ʻi ai ʻa e pā ʻa haʻa mālohí,
Ko e pā ʻa Saulá ʻoku ʻikai kei pani ia ʻaki ʻa e lolo.
22 Mei he toto ʻo e kau tāmateʻí, mei he ngako ʻo e haʻa mālohí,
Naʻe ʻikai tafoki mei ai ʻa e kaufana ʻa Sionatané,+
Pea ko e heletā ʻa Saulá naʻe ʻikai foki taʻelavameʻa.+
23 Ko Saula mo Sionatane,+ naʻe ʻofeina mo koloaʻaki lolotonga ʻena moʻuí,
Pea ʻi he maté naʻe ʻikai te na māvahevahe.+
24 Ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo ʻIsileli, mou tengihia ʻa Saula,
ʻEne fakateunga kimoutolu ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi kofu kula ʻahoʻaho mo fungani,
ʻEne ʻai ʻa e ngaahi teuteu koula ʻi homou kofú.
25 ʻOi, he tō tau ʻa e haʻa mālohí!
ʻA e tokoto ʻa Sionatane kuo mate ʻi ho ngaahi potu māʻolungá!+
Ko hoʻo ʻofa kiate aú naʻe fakaofo ange ʻi he ʻofa ʻa e kau fefiné.+
27 ʻOi, he tō tau ʻa e haʻa mālohí
Pea ko e ngaahi meʻataú ē kuo ʻauha!”
