Fakalāngilangiʻi ʻe he tuʻí ʻa Motekiai (1-14)
6 ʻI he pō ko iá naʻe ʻikai lava ke mohe ʻa e tuʻí.* Ko ia naʻá ne pehē ke ʻomai ʻa e tohi lēkooti ʻo e hisitōlia ʻo e ngaahi taimí,+ pea naʻe lau ia ki he tuʻí.
2 Naʻe ʻilo kuo hiki ai ʻa e meʻa naʻe tala ʻe Motekiai ʻo fekauʻaki mo Pikitana mo Telesi, ko e ongo ʻōfisa ʻi he lotoʻā ʻo e tuʻí, ko ha ongo leʻo matapā, ʻa ia naʻá na faʻufaʻu ke tāmateʻi ʻa* Tuʻi ʻEhasivelo.+
3 Naʻe ʻeke ʻe he tuʻí: “Ko e hā ʻa e fakalāngilangi mo e fakamālōʻia kuo fai kia Motekiai ʻi he meʻá ni?” Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe he kau fakafeʻao ʻa e tuʻí: “Kuo ʻikai fai ha meʻa ʻe taha maʻana.”
4 Ki mui ai, naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻí: “Ko hai ena ʻoku ʻi he lotoʻaá?” ʻI he taimi ko ení kuo haʻu ʻa Hāmani ki he lotoʻā ʻi tuʻa+ ʻo e palasi* ʻo e tuʻí ke lea ki he tuʻí ʻo fekauʻaki mo hono ʻai ke tautau ʻa Motekiai ʻi he fuʻu pou naʻá ne teuteu kiate iá.+
5 Naʻe pehē ʻe he kau fakafeʻao ʻa e tuʻí kiate ia: “Ko Hāmani+ ia ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he lotoʻaá.” Ko ia naʻe pehē ange ʻe he tuʻí: “Tuku ke ne hū mai.”
6 ʻI he hū atu ʻa Hāmaní, naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻí kiate ia: “Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻe fai ki ha tangata ʻoku loto ʻa e tuʻí ke fakalāngilangiʻi?” Naʻe pehē loto pē ʻe Hāmani: “Ko hai ia ʻoku finangalo ʻa e tuʻí ke fakalāngilangiʻi ʻo lahi ange ʻiate aú?”+
7 Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe Hāmani ki he tuʻí: “Ko e tangata ʻoku finangalo ʻa e tuʻí ke fakalāngilangiʻí,
8 tuku ke nau ʻomi ʻa e teunga fakatuʻi+ ʻoku ʻai ʻe he tuʻí mo e hoosi kuo ʻai ki hono ʻulú ʻa e meʻa teuteu fakatuʻi, ʻa ia ʻoku heka ai ʻa e tuʻí.
9 Pea tuku ʻa e teungá mo e hōsí ke tokangaʻi ʻe he taha ʻo e kau houʻeiki tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻa e tuʻí, pea ke nau fakateunga ʻa e tangata ʻoku finangalo ʻa e tuʻí ke fakalāngilangiʻí pea ʻai ia ke ne heka atu ʻi he hōsí ʻi he malaʻe fakakolo* ʻo e koló. Te nau kaila ʻi hono ʻaó: ‘Ko e meʻa ʻeni ʻe fai ki he tangata ʻa ia ʻoku finangalo ʻa e tuʻí ke fakalāngilangiʻí!’”+
10 ʻI he taimi pē ko iá naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻí kia Hāmani: “Fakavave! ʻAve ʻa e teungá mo e hōsí, pea fai ʻa e meʻa kuó ke toki leaʻakí kia Motekiai ko e Siu ʻa ia ʻoku tangutu ʻi he matapā ʻo e tuʻí. ʻOua naʻa taʻefakahoko ha meʻa kuó ke leaʻaki.”
11 Ko ia naʻe ʻave ʻe Hāmani ʻa e teungá mo e hōsí, peá ne fakateunga ʻa Motekiai+ pea ʻai ia ke ne heka atu ʻi he malaʻe fakakolo ʻo e koló peá ne kaila ʻi hono ʻaó: “Ko e meʻa ʻeni ʻe fai ki he tangata ʻa ia ʻoku finangalo ʻa e tuʻí ke fakalāngilangiʻí!”
12 ʻI he hili iá, naʻe foki ʻa Motekiai ki he matapā ʻo e tuʻí, kae fakavave atu ʻa Hāmani ki hono falé, ʻo ne tangi mamahi mo pūlou hono ʻulú.
13 ʻI he fakamatala ʻe Hāmani kia Seilesi+ ko hono uaifí mo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá kotoa ʻa e meʻa kotoa naʻe hoko kiate iá, naʻe pehē ange kiate ia ʻe heʻene kau tangata potó mo Seilesi ko hono uaifí: “Kapau ko Motekiai, ʻa ia kuo kamata ke ke tōlalo ʻi hono ʻaó, ko ha hakoʻi Siu ia, heʻikai te ke mālohi ʻiate ia; kuo pau moʻoni ke ke tōlalo ʻi hono ʻaó.”
14 Lolotonga ʻenau kei talanoa mo iá, naʻe aʻu mai ʻa e kau ʻōfisa ʻi he lotoʻā ʻo e tuʻí ʻo nau ʻave fakavave ʻa Hāmani ki he kātoanga naʻe teuteu ʻe ʻĒsetá.+
