14 ʻI he ʻaho ʻe taha naʻe pehē ange ai ʻe Sionatane+ ko e foha ʻo Saulá ki he tamaioʻeiki naʻá ne toʻo ʻa ʻene meʻataú: “Haʻu pea tuku ke ta kolosi atu ki he nofoʻanga fakakautau ʻo e kau Filisitiá ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá.” Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne tala ia ki heʻene tamaí. 2 Naʻe nofo ʻa Saula ʻi he tuʻa kolo ʻo Kīpeá+ ʻi he lalo pomikānite ʻi Mikiloní, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa e kau tangata ʻe toko 600 nai.+ 3 (Pea ko ʻĀhisa ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupi,+ ko e tokoua ʻo Ikapote,+ ko e foha ʻo Fineasi,+ ko e foha ʻo ʻĪlai,+ ko e taulaʻeiki ʻa Sihova ʻi Sailó,+ naʻá ne tui ʻa e ʻēfotí.)+ Pea naʻe ʻikai ke ʻiloʻi ʻe he kakaí kuo ʻalu ʻa Sionatane. 4 Pea ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e hūʻanga naʻe feinga ʻa Sionatane ke kolosi ai ke aʻu ki he nofoʻanga fakakautau ʻo e kau Filisitiá, naʻe ʻi ai ha fuʻu maka hangē ha nifó ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha mo ha fuʻu maka hangē ha nifó ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá; ko e hingoa ʻo e taha ko Pōsesi, pea ko e hingoa ʻo e taha ko Sene. 5 Ko e fuʻu maka ʻe taha ko ha fuʻu pou ia ʻi he tokelaú naʻe hanga ki Mikimasi, pea ko e fuʻu maka ʻe tahá naʻe ʻi he tongá ia ʻo hanga ki Kepā.+

6 Ko ia naʻe pehē ange ai ʻe Sionatane ki heʻene tangata toʻo meʻataú: “Haʻu pea tuku ke ta kolosi atu ki he nofoʻanga fakakautau ʻo e kau tangata taʻekamu+ ko ení. Mahalo pē ʻe fai ʻe Sihova ha meʻa maʻataua, he ʻoku halaʻatā ha meʻa ʻe lava ke ne taʻofi ʻa Sihova mei he faifakahaofi ʻaki ha tokolahi pe ko ha tokosiʻi.”+ 7 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ange ai ʻe heʻene tangata toʻo meʻataú kiate ia: “Fai ha meʻa pē ʻoku ueʻi koe ʻe ho lotó ke ke faí. Afe ki ha feituʻu pē ʻokú ke fie afe ki aí, pea te u muimui ʻiate koe ki ha feituʻu pē ʻoku ueʻi koe ʻe ho lotó ke ke ʻalu ki aí.” 8 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Sionatane: “Te ta kolosi ki he kau tangata ko eé pea fakahaaʻi atu kitaua kiate kinautolu. 9 Kapau te nau pehē mai kiate kitaua, ‘Tuʻu maʻu kae ʻoua ke mau ʻalu atu kiate kimoua,’ te ta tuʻu ʻi he feituʻu ʻokú ta ʻi aí pea heʻikai te ta ʻalu hake kiate kinautolu. 10 Ka ʻo kapau te nau pehē mai, ‘ʻAlu hake kiate kimautolu,’ te ta ʻalu hake, koeʻuhí ʻe tuku kinautolu ʻe Sihova ki hota nimá. ʻE hoko eni ko e fakaʻilonga kiate kitaua.”+

11 Ko ia naʻá na fakahaaʻi atu leva kinaua fakatouʻosi ki he nofoʻanga fakakautau ʻo e kau Filisitiá. Naʻe pehē ʻe he kau Filisitiá: “Vakai! ʻOku hū mai ʻa e kau Hepeluú mei he ngaahi luo ʻa ia kuo nau toi aí.”+ 12 Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻo e nofoʻanga fakakautaú kia Sionatane mo ʻene tangata toʻo meʻataú: “ʻAlu hake kiate kimautolu, pea te mau akoʻi atu kiate kimoua ha lēsoni!”+ Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Sionatane ʻi he taimi pē ko iá ki heʻene tangata toʻo meʻataú: “Muimui mai ʻiate au, he ʻe tuku ʻe Sihova kinautolu ki he nima ʻo ʻIsilelí.”+ 13 Pea naʻe kaka hake ʻa Sionatane ʻaki hono nimá mo hono vaʻé, pea naʻe ʻi mui ʻiate ia ʻa ʻene tangata toʻo meʻataú; pea naʻe kamata ke tō ʻa e kau Filisitiá ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sionatané, pea naʻe tāmateʻi kinautolu ʻe heʻene tangata toʻo meʻataú mei hono tuʻá. 14 ʻI he ʻuluaki ʻoho naʻe fai ʻe Sionatane mo ʻene tangata toʻo meʻataú, naʻá na taaʻi ai ʻa e kau tangata nai ʻe toko 20 ʻi loto kotoa ʻi he lōloa ʻo ha vaeuaʻi ʻeka ʻo ha kelekele* kuo palau.

15 Naʻe mafola ʻa e manavahē ʻi he ʻapitangá pea ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kakai kotoa ʻo e nofoʻanga fakakautaú, pea naʻa mo e ngaahi faʻahi naʻa nau fai ʻa e ʻohofí+ naʻa nau manavahē. Naʻe kamata ke ngalulu ʻa e kelekelé, pea naʻe hoko ai ha manavahē ko e fakatupunga ʻe he ʻOtuá. 16 Naʻe sio ʻa e kau tangata leʻo ʻa Saula ʻi Kīpea+ ʻo Penisimaní ki he mafola ʻi he feituʻu kotoa ʻa e māveuveú.+

17 Naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki he kakai naʻe ʻiate iá: “Kātaki angé ʻo lau, pea sio pe ko hai kuo mavahe meiate kitautolú.” ʻI heʻenau laú, naʻa nau ʻiloʻi ai naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi ai ʻa Sionatane mo ʻene tangata toʻo meʻataú. 18 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Saula kia ʻĀhisa:+ “ʻOmi ke ofi ʻa e ʻAʻake ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní!” (He ko e ʻAʻake ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní naʻe ʻi he kau ʻIsilelí ʻi he taimi ko iá.*) 19 Pea ʻi he lolotonga ʻa e lea ʻa Saula ki he taulaʻeikí, naʻe tupu ʻo fakautuutu ʻa e māveuveu ʻi he ʻapitanga ʻo e kau Filisitiá. Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Saula ki he taulaʻeikí: “Tuku ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ke faí.”* 20 Ko ia naʻe fakatahataha mai ai ʻa Saula mo e kakai kotoa naʻe ʻiate iá pea nau ʻalu atu ki he taú, ʻa ia naʻa nau ʻilo ai kuo fetāʻaki heletā ʻa e kau Filisitiá ʻiate kinautolu pē, pea naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻa e puputuʻú. 21 Pehē foki, ko e kau Hepelū naʻa nau faʻahi ki muʻa mo e kau Filisitiá pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake mo kinautolu ki he ʻapitangá naʻa nau ʻalu ʻo kau mo ʻIsileli ʻi he malumalu ʻo Saula mo Sionatané. 22 Ko e kau tangata kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli naʻa nau toi+ ʻi he feituʻu moʻungaʻia ʻo ʻIfalemí naʻa nau fanongo kuo hola ʻa e kau Filisitiá, pea naʻa nau kau mo kinautolu foki ʻi he tulimui kiate kinautolu ʻi he taú. 23 Ko ia naʻe fakahaofi ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko iá,+ pea naʻe hoko atu ʻa e taú ʻo aʻu ki Pete-ʻaveni.+

24 Ka ko e kau tangata ʻo ʻIsilelí naʻa nau faingataʻaʻia ʻi he ʻaho ko iá, he naʻe fakafuakavaʻi ʻe Saula ʻa e kakaí ʻo peheni: “Malaʻia ē ko e tangata te ne kai ha faʻahinga meʻakai* pē ki muʻa ke efiafí pea ki muʻa ke u faisāuni ki hoku ngaahi filí!” Ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻo e kakaí naʻá ne kai ha faʻahinga meʻakai pē.+

25 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa e kakaí* kotoa ki he vaotaá, pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e hone ʻi he kelekelé. 26 ʻI he haʻu ʻa e kakaí ki he vaotaá, naʻa nau sio ki he hafu ʻa e honé, ka naʻe ʻikai ke kai ʻe ha taha ʻa e honé, koeʻuhí naʻa nau manavahē ki he fuakavá. 27 Ka naʻe ʻikai ke fanongo ʻa Sionatane ʻi hono fakafuakavaʻi+ ʻe heʻene tamaí ʻa e kakaí, ko ia naʻá ne mafao atu ʻa e muʻa tokotoko naʻe ʻi hono nimá ʻo unu ʻi he taunga honé. ʻI heʻene kai ʻa e honé, naʻe maama ai hono matá. 28 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ange ai ʻe ha taha ʻi he kakaí: “Naʻe mātuʻaki fakafuakavaʻi ʻe hoʻo tamaí ʻa e kakaí, ʻo pehē, ‘Malaʻia ē ko e tangata te ne kai ha meʻakai ʻi he ʻahó ni!’+ Ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻoku fuʻu ongosia ai ʻa e kakaí.” 29 Kae kehe, naʻe pehē ʻe Sionatane: “Kuo hanga ʻe heʻeku tamaí ʻo ʻai ke faingataʻaʻia lahi* ʻa e fonuá. Vakai mai ki he maama ʻa hoku matá koeʻuhi ko ʻeku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻa e kiʻi meʻi hone ko ení. 30 Huanoa ange ai kapau naʻe kai tauʻatāina+ ʻa e kakaí he ʻahó ni mei he koloa vete* ʻa honau ngaahi filí ʻa ē naʻa nau maʻú! He ka ne pehē ne mei toe lahi ange ai hono tāmateʻi ʻo e kau Filisitiá.”

31 ʻI he ʻaho ko iá naʻa nau hanganaki taaʻi ai ʻa e kau Filisitiá mei Mikimasi ki ʻAsaloni,+ pea naʻe hoko ai ʻa e kakaí ʻo ongosia ʻaupito. 32 Ko ia naʻe kamata ke ʻoho mānumanu atu ʻa e kakaí ki he koloa veté, pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻa e fanga sipi mo e pulu mo e ʻuhikiʻi pulu ʻo tāmateʻi ʻi he kelekelé, pea naʻa nau kai ʻa e kakanoʻi-manú fakataha mo e totó.+ 33 Ko ia naʻe fakahā kia Saula: “Vakai! ʻOku faiangahala ʻa e kakaí kia Sihova ʻi heʻenau kai ʻa e kakanoʻi-manú fakataha mo e totó.”+ ʻI he meʻá ni naʻá ne pehē ange: “Kuo mou taʻefaitōnunga. Tekaʻi mai ha fuʻu maka kiate au he taimí ni.” 34 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Saula: “Mou movete atu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kakaí pea pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko kimoutolu taki taha kuo pau ke ne ʻomai ʻa ʻene pulu mo ʻene sipi ʻo tāmateʻi ia ʻi heni pea kai leva ia. ʻOua ʻe faiangahala kia Sihova ʻaki hono kai ʻa e kakanoʻi-manú fakataha mo e totó.’”+ Ko ia naʻa nau haʻu taki taha mo ʻene pulu ʻi he pō ko iá ʻo tāmateʻi ia ai. 35 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Saula ha ʻōlita kia Sihova.+ Ko e ʻuluaki ʻōlita eni naʻá ne fokotuʻu kia Sihová.

36 Naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki mui ai: “Tau ʻalu hifo poʻuli ʻo tulimui ʻi he kau Filisitiá ʻo puke fakamālohi kinautolu kae ʻoua ke maʻa ʻa e ʻahó. Heʻikai te tau tuku ke hao ha toko taha.” ʻI he meʻá ni naʻa nau pehē ange: “Fai ha meʻa pē ʻoku hā lelei ki hoʻo vakaí.” Naʻe pehē leva ʻe he taulaʻeikí: “Tau fakaofiofi heni ki he ʻOtua moʻoní.”+ 37 Pea naʻe fakafehuʻi ʻa Saula ki he ʻOtuá: “Te u ʻalu hifo ʻo tulimui ʻi he kau Filisitiá?+ Te ke tuku kinautolu ki he nima ʻo ʻIsilelí?” Ka naʻe ʻikai ke fai mai ʻe he ʻOtuá ha tali kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho ko iá. 38 Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Saula: “Mou omi ki heni, ʻa kimoutolu kotoa ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo e kakaí, pea vakaiʻi pe ko e hā ʻa e angahala kuo fai he ʻaho ní. 39 ʻOku ou fuakava ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua moʻuí, ʻa ia naʻá ne fakahaofi ʻa ʻIsilelí, tatau ai pē kapau ko Sionatane ia ko hoku fohá, kuo pau ke ne mate.” Ka naʻe ʻikai ke fai mai ʻe ha taha ʻo e kakaí ha tali kiate ia. 40 Naʻá ne pehē ange leva ki ʻIsileli kotoa: “Te mou ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha, pea ko au mo hoku foha ko Sionatané te ma ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha.” ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ai ʻe he kakaí kia Saula: “Fai ha meʻa pē ʻe hā lelei ki hoʻo vakaí.”

41 Naʻe pehē leva ʻe Saula kia Sihova: “ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻomai ha tali ʻi he Tūmemí!”+ Ko ia naʻe filiʻi mai ai ʻa Sionatane mo Saula, pea naʻe ʻatā ʻa e kakaí. 42 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula: “Fai ha lulu+ ke fakapapauʻi ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoʻoku mo hoku foha ko Sionatané.” Pea naʻe filiʻi ʻa Sionatane. 43 Naʻe pehē leva ʻe Saula kia Sionatane: “Tala mai angé, ko e hā ʻa e meʻa kuó ke faí?” Ko ia naʻe tala ange ʻe Sionatane kiate ia: “Naʻá ku kiʻi ʻahiʻahiʻi pē ha meʻi hone naʻe ʻi he muʻa tokotoko ʻi hoku nimá.+ Ko au eni! ʻOku ou mateuteu ke u mate!”

44 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ʻe Saula: “ʻOfa ke tauteaʻi mamafa au ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo kapau heʻikai te ke mate, Sionatane.”+ 45 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he kakaí kia Saula: “ʻOku totonu koā ke mate ʻa Sionatane—ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne ʻomi ʻa e fuʻu ikuna*+ ko ení ki ʻIsilelí? Mole ke mamaʻo! ʻOku mau fuakava ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua moʻuí, ʻe ʻikai tō naʻa mo ha fulufuluʻiʻulu mei hono ʻulú ki he kelekelé, he naʻe kau mo ia ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ngāue naʻá ne fai he ʻaho ní.”+ Ko ia naʻe fakahaofi* ai ʻe he kakaí ʻa Sionatane, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne mate.

46 Ko ia naʻe tuku ʻa e tulimui ʻa Saula ʻi he kau Filisitiá, pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa e kau Filisitiá ki honau feituʻu ʻonautolú.

47 Naʻe ʻai ʻe Saula ke tuʻu maʻu ʻa ʻene pule ko e tuʻi ki ʻIsilelí peá ne tauʻi ʻa hono ngaahi filí kotoa ʻi he tafaʻaki kotoa pē, ʻa e kau Mōapé,+ ko e kau ʻĀmoní,+ ko e kau ʻĪtomí,+ ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Sopá,+ pea mo e kau Filisitiá;+ pea ko fē pē ha feituʻu naʻá ne ʻalu ki ai naʻá ne ikunaʻi ia. 48 Pea naʻá ne faitau loto-toʻa ʻo ne ikunaʻi ʻa e kau ʻAmalekí+ pea fakahaofi ʻa ʻIsileli mei he nima ʻo honau kau puke fakamālohí.

Ko e hingoa ʻo e ʻeiki ʻo ʻene kau taú ko ʻĀpina+ ko e foha ʻo Nā, ko e tokoua ʻo e tamai ʻa Saulá. 51 Ko Kisi+ ʻa e tamai ʻa Saulá, pea ko Nā+ ko e tamai ʻa ʻĀpiná ko e foha ia ʻo ʻApieli.
