Ua Tuʻi 8:1-29
8 Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa ki he fefine ʻa ia ko ʻene tamá ē naʻá ne fakamoʻuí:*+ “Tuʻu hake peá ke ʻalu, ʻa koe mo ho fāmilí, peá ke ʻāunofo ʻi ha feituʻu pē ʻe lava ke ke nofo aí, he kuo fakahā ʻe Sihova ha honge,+ pea ʻe hoko ia ki he fonuá ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu.”
2 Ko ia naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa e fefiné ʻo ne fai ʻa e meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe he tangata ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní. Naʻá ne ʻalu mo hono fāmilí ʻo nofo ʻi he fonua ʻo e kau Filisitiá+ ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu.
3 ʻI he ʻosi ʻa e taʻu ʻe fitú, naʻe foki ʻa e fefiné mei he fonua ʻo e kau Filisitiá peá ne ʻalu ke fai ha tangi ki he tuʻí koeʻuhi ko hono falé mo hono kelekelé.
4 Pea naʻe lea ʻa e tuʻí kia Kēhesi ko e tauhi ʻo e tangata ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní, ʻo ne pehē: “Fakamatala mai muʻa kiate au ʻa e ngaahi fuʻu meʻa fakaofo kotoa kuo fai ʻe ʻIlaisá.”+
5 ʻI heʻene kei fakamatala pē ki he tuʻí ʻa ʻene fakamoʻui ʻa e tama naʻe maté,+ naʻe haʻu ki he tuʻí ʻa e fefine ko ia ko ʻene tamá ē naʻá ne fakamoʻuí, ʻo fai ha tangi koeʻuhi ko hono falé mo hono kelekelé.+ Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Kēhesi: “ʻE hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ko e fefiné eni, pea ko ʻene tamá eni ʻa ia naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe ʻIlaisá.”
6 Ko ia naʻe ʻeke ʻe he tuʻí ki he fefiné pea naʻá ne talanoa ange kiate ia ʻa e meʻa naʻe hokó. Naʻe vaheʻi ange leva ʻe he tuʻí kiate ia ha ʻōfisa ʻi he lotoʻaá, ʻo ne tala ange: “Fakafoki ki he fefiné ʻa e meʻa kotoa ʻoku ʻaʻaná pea mo e fua kotoa ʻo hono kelekelé mei he ʻaho naʻá ne mavahe ai mei he fonuá ʻo aʻu mai ki he taimí ni.”
7 Naʻe aʻu ʻa ʻIlaisa ki Tāmasikusi+ ʻi he taimi naʻe puke ai ʻa Peni-hētati+ ko e tuʻi ʻo Sīliá. Ko ia naʻe fai ʻa e fakamatala kiate ia ʻo pehē: “Kuo haʻu ki heni ʻa e tangata ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní.”+
8 Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻí kia Hesaeli:+ “Toʻo ha meʻaʻofa peá ke ʻalu mo ia ʻo fakafetaulaki ki he tangata ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní.+ Fai ha fehuʻi kia Sihova fakafou ʻiate ia, pea ʻeke, ‘Te u toe fakaakeake koā mei he puke ko ení?’”
9 Naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Hesaeli ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia pea naʻá ne ʻalu mo ha meʻaʻofa, ko e faʻahinga meʻa lelei kotoa pē ʻo Tāmasikusí, feʻunga mo e uta ʻa e kāmeli ʻe 40. Naʻá ne aʻu atu ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi hono ʻaó peá ne pehē: “Ko ho fohá, ʻa Peni-hētati ko e tuʻi ʻo Sīliá, kuó ne fekauʻi mai au kiate koe ke ʻeke atu, ‘Te u toe fakaakeake koā mei he puke ko ení?’”
10 Naʻe tali ange ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate ia: “ʻAlu ʻo tala ange kiate ia, ‘Ko e moʻoni te ke toe fakaakeake,’ ka kuo fakahā mai ʻe Sihova ia kiate au ko e moʻoni te ne mate.”+
11 Pea naʻá ne hanganaki sio fakamamaʻu kiate ia ʻo aʻu ki heʻene mā. Naʻe kamata leva ke tangi ʻa e tangata ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní.
12 Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe Hesaeli: “Ko e hā ʻoku tangi ai ʻa hoku ʻeikí?” Naʻá ne tali ange: “Koeʻuhí ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi ʻa e maumau te ke fai ki he kakai ʻo ʻIsilelí.+ Ko honau ngaahi feituʻu kuo fakakolotauʻí te ke tutu ʻaki ʻa e afi, ko ʻenau kau tangata tuʻu-ki-muʻá te ke tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻa e heletā, ko ʻenau fānaú te ke laiki ke kongokonga, pea ko ʻenau kau fefine feitamá te ke fahi ua.”+
13 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Hesaeli: “ʻE lava fēfē ʻa hoʻo sevānití, ʻa ia ko ha kulī pē, ke ne fai ha fuʻu ngāue pehē?” Ka naʻe pehē ange ʻe ʻIlaisa: “Kuo fakahā mai ʻe Sihova kiate au te ke hoko ko e tuʻi ki Sīlia.”+
14 Naʻá ne mavahe leva meia ʻIlaisa peá ne foki ki hono ʻeikí, ʻa ia naʻá ne pehē ange kiate ia: “Ko e hā naʻe leaʻaki ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate koé?” Naʻá ne tali ange: “Naʻá ne tala mai kiate au ko e moʻoni te ke toe fakaakeake.”+
15 Ka ʻi he ʻaho hono hokó, naʻe toʻo ʻe Hesaeli ha meʻa ʻufiʻufi-mohenga ʻo unu ia ʻi he vaí ʻo ne pukeʻi* hifo ia ʻi hono matá ʻo fakafulutāmakiaʻi ia ʻo ne mate.+ Pea naʻe hoko ʻa Hesaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo fetongi ia.+
16 ʻI he taʻu hono nima ʻo e pule ʻa Siholame+ ko e foha ʻo ʻĒhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí, lolotonga ia ʻa e tuʻi ʻa Sihosafate ki Siutá, naʻe hoko ai ko e tuʻi ʻa Siholame+ ko e foha ʻo Tuʻi Sihosafate ʻo Siutá.
17 Naʻá ne taʻu 32 ʻi heʻene hoko ko e tuʻí, pea naʻá ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe valu ʻi Selusalema.
18 Naʻá ne ʻaʻeva ʻi he ʻalunga ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí,+ ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he faʻahinga ʻo e fale ʻo ʻĒhapí,+ he naʻe hoko ʻa e ʻofefine ʻo ʻĒhapí ko hono uaifi;+ pea naʻá ne hanganaki fai ʻa e meʻa naʻe kovi ʻi he vakai mai ʻa Sihová.+
19 Ka naʻe ʻikai ke finangalo ʻa Sihova ke fakaʻauha ʻa Siuta koeʻuhi ko ʻene sevāniti ko Tēvitá,+ he naʻá ne talaʻofa kiate ia te ne ʻoange ha maama* kiate ia+ pea mo hono ngaahi fohá maʻu ai pē.
20 ʻI hono ngaahi ʻahó naʻe angatuʻu ai ʻa ʻĪtomi ki Siuta+ pea naʻá ne fokotuʻu hano tuʻi pē ʻoʻona.+
21 Ko ia naʻe kolosi atu ʻa Siholame ki Saia fakataha mo ʻene ngaahi salioté kotoa, pea naʻá ne tuʻu poʻuli hake ʻo ne ʻohofi ʻo ikunaʻi ʻa e kau ʻĪtomi naʻa nau takatakai kiate iá pea mo e kau ʻeikitau ʻi he tau salioté; pea naʻe hola ʻa e kau taú ki honau ngaahi tēnití.
22 Ka naʻe hoko atu ai pē ʻa e angatuʻu ʻa ʻĪtomi ki Siutá ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻahó ni. Naʻe angatuʻu foki mo Līpina+ ʻi he taimi ko iá.
23 Pea ko e toenga ʻo e hisitōlia ʻo Siholamé, mo e meʻa kotoa naʻá ne faí, ʻikai kuo hiki ia ʻi he tohi ʻo e hisitōlia ʻo e taimi ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siutá?
24 Pea naʻe toka ʻa Siholame ʻo mālōlō fakataha mo ʻene fanga kuí pea naʻe tanu ia fakataha mo ʻene fanga kuí ʻi he Kolo-ʻo-Tēvitá.+ Pea naʻe hoko ʻa hono foha ko ʻAhasaiá+ ko e tuʻi ʻo fetongi ia.
25 ʻI he taʻu hono 12 ʻo e pule ʻa Siholame ko e foha ʻo ʻĒhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí, naʻe hoko ai ko e tuʻi+ ʻa ʻAhasaia ko e foha ʻo Tuʻi Siholame ʻo Siutá.
26 Naʻe taʻu 22 ʻa ʻAhasaia ʻi he taimi naʻá ne hoko ai ko e tuʻí, pea naʻá ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe taha ʻi Selusalema. Ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻeé ko ʻAtalaia+ ko e mokopuna* ʻo Tuʻi ʻOmilai+ ʻo ʻIsilelí.
27 Naʻá ne ʻaʻeva ʻi he ʻalunga ʻo e fale ʻo ʻĒhapí+ peá ne hanganaki fai ʻa e meʻa naʻe kovi ʻi he vakai mai ʻa Sihová, ʻo hangē ko e fale ʻo ʻĒhapí, he naʻá ne kāinga ʻi he mali mo e fale ʻo ʻĒhapí.+
28 Ko ia naʻá ne ʻalu mo Siholame ko e foha ʻo ʻĒhapí ke tauʻi ʻa Tuʻi Hesaeli ʻo Sīliá ʻi Lēmoti-kiliati,+ ka naʻe fakalaveaʻi ʻe he kau Sīliá ʻa Siholame.+
29 Ko ia naʻe foki ʻa Tuʻi Siholame ki Sisilili+ ke ne fakaakeake mei he ngaahi fakalavea naʻe fai kiate ia ʻe he kau Sīliá ʻi Lama ʻi heʻene tauʻi ʻa Tuʻi Hesaeli ʻo Sīliá.+ Naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa ʻAhasaia ko e foha ʻo Siholame ko e tuʻi ʻo Siutá ki Sisilili ke sio kia Siholame ko e foha ʻo ʻĒhapí, koeʻuhí he naʻá ne lavea.*
