ʻOange ʻe he kau Filisitiá ʻa Sikilaki moʻo Tēvita (1-12)
27 Kae kehe, naʻe pehē ʻe Tēvita ʻi hono lotó: “ʻE ʻi ai pē ʻa e ʻaho te u ʻauha ai ʻi he nima ʻo Saulá. Ko e meʻa lelei taha kiate aú ke u hola+ ki he fonua ʻo e kau Filisitiá; pea ʻe tuku ai ʻe Saula ʻene kumi kiate au ʻi he feituʻu kotoa ʻo ʻIsilelí,+ pea te u hao ai mei hono nimá.”
2 Ko ia naʻe mālanga hake ʻa Tēvita mo e kau tangata ʻe toko 600+ naʻe ʻiate iá ʻo nau ō kia ʻĀkisi+ ko e foha ʻo Maoki, ko e tuʻi ʻo Katí.
3 Naʻe nofo ʻa Tēvita ʻia ʻĀkisi ʻi Kati, ko ia mo ʻene kau tangatá, ko e tangata taki taha mo hono fāmili. Naʻe ʻia Tēvita ʻa hono ongo uaifí, ʻa ʻAhinoami+ mei Sisililí pea mo ʻApikale+ ko e fefine Kāmelí, ʻa ia naʻe hoko ko e uaifi ʻo Nāpalé.
4 ʻI hono fakahā kia Saula kuo hola ʻa Tēvita ki Katí, naʻe tuku ai ʻene kumi kiate iá.+
5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tēvita kia ʻĀkisi: “Kapau ʻokú ke leleiʻia ʻiate au, ʻomai muʻa ha feituʻu moʻoku ʻi he taha ʻo e ngaahi kolo ʻi he feituʻu ʻutá, koeʻuhí ke u nofo ai. Ko e hā ke nofo ai hoʻo sevānití fakataha mo koe ʻi he kolo fakatuʻí?”
6 Ko ia naʻe ʻoange kiate ia ʻe ʻĀkisi ʻa Sikilaki+ ʻi he ʻaho ko iá. Ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻoku maʻu ai ʻa Sikilaki ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siutá ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ní.
7 Ko e lōloa ʻo e taimi* naʻe nofo ai ʻa Tēvita ʻi he feituʻu ʻuta ʻo e kau Filisitiá ko e taʻu ʻe taha mo e māhina ʻe fā.+
8 Naʻe faʻa ʻalu hake ʻa Tēvita mo ʻene kau tangatá ke ʻohofi ʻa e kau Kēsulí,+ ko e kau Kisilí, pea mo e kau ʻAmalekí,+ he naʻa nau nofoʻi ʻa e fonua naʻe lele mei Telami ʻo aʻu ki Sulá+ pea ʻalu hifo ai ki he fonua ko ʻIsipité.
9 ʻI he taimi naʻe ʻohofi ai ʻe Tēvita ʻa e fonuá, naʻe ʻikai te ne fakahaofi moʻui+ ha tangata pe ko ha fefine, ka naʻá ne ʻave ʻa e fanga sipí, fanga pulú, fanga ʻasí, fanga kāmelí, pea mo e valá, ʻi he hili iá naʻá ne foki kia ʻĀkisi.
10 Naʻe ʻeke ange leva ʻe ʻĀkisi: “Ko fē naʻa mou ʻohofi ʻi he ʻaho ní?” Naʻe tali ange ʻe Tēvita: “Ko e fakatonga* ʻo Siutá”+ pe “Ko e fakatonga ʻo e kau Selamilí”+ pe “Ko e fakatonga ʻo e kau Kēnaí.”+
11 Naʻe ʻikai ke fakahaofi moʻui ʻe Tēvita ha tangata pe ko ha fefine ke ʻomi ki Kati, ʻi heʻene pehē: “Ke ʻoua naʻa nau tala kiate kinautolu ha meʻa ʻo fekauʻaki mo kimautolu ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e meʻa eni naʻe fai ʻe Tēvitá.’” (Pea ko e meʻa ia naʻá ne faí ʻi he taimi kotoa naʻá ne nofo ai ʻi he feituʻu ʻuta ʻo e kau Filisitiá.)
12 Ko ia naʻe tui ai ʻa ʻĀkisi kia Tēvita, ʻo ne pehē loto pē: ‘Kuó ne hoko moʻoni ʻo namukū ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hono kakaí, ʻa ʻIsileli, ko ia te ne hoko maʻu ai pē ko ʻeku sevāniti.’
