Sēnesi 15:1-21
15 ʻI he hili ʻa e meʻá ni naʻe hoko ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihová kia ʻEpalame ʻi ha vīsone, ʻo pehē: “ʻOua te ke manavahē,+ ʻEpalame. Ko ha pā au kiate koe.+ Ko hoʻo totongí ʻe lahi ʻaupito.”+
2 Naʻe tali ange ʻe ʻEpalame: “ʻEiki Hau Sihova, ko e hā te ke foaki mai kiate aú, ʻi he sio ʻoku hokohoko atu ʻa e ʻikai haʻaku fānaú pea ko e tokotaha te ne maʻu ʻa hoku ʻapí ko ha tangata Tāmasikusi, ko ʻEliese?”+
3 Naʻe hoko atu ʻa ʻEpalame: “Kuo ʻikai te ke ʻomai kiate au ha hako,+ pea ko ha mēmipa* ʻi hoku falé te ne fetongi au ʻi he tuʻunga ko e ʻeá.”
4 Kae vakai, ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻi he tali kiate iá, “Ko e tangatá ni ʻe ʻikai te ne fetongi koe ʻi he tuʻunga ko e ʻeá, ka ko hao foha tonu te ne fetongi koe ʻi he tuʻunga ko e ʻeá.”+
5 Pea naʻá ne ʻomi ia ki tuʻa ʻo ne folofola: “Kātaki muʻa ʻo hanga hake ki he langí pea lau ʻa e ngaahi fetuʻú, kapau ʻoku malava ke ke fai pehē.” Naʻá ne folofola leva kiate ia: “ʻE hoko ʻo pehē ho hakó.”+
6 Pea naʻá ne tui kia Sihova,+ pea naʻá Ne lau ia ʻokú ne māʻoniʻoni.+
7 Naʻá ne hoko atu leva: “Ko Sihova au, ʻa ia naʻá ku ʻomi koe mei ʻUa ʻo e kau Kalitiá ke ʻoatu kiate koe ʻa e fonuá ni ko ho tofiʻa.”+
8 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻá ne pehē: “ʻEiki Hau Sihova, te u ʻiloʻi fēfē te u maʻu iá?”
9 Naʻá ne tali ange kiate ia: “Toʻo maʻaku ha kiʻi pulu fefine taʻu tolu, ko ha kosi fefine taʻu tolu, ko ha sipi tangata taʻu tolu, ko ha foʻi kulukulu, mo ha lupe mui.”
10 Ko ia naʻá ne toʻo kotoa eni ʻo fahi ua ia pea tuku fehangahangai ʻa e konga taki taha, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne fahi ʻa e ongo foʻi manupuná.
11 Naʻe kamata leva ke ʻalu hifo ʻa e fanga manupuna fekaí ki he ngaahi ʻangaʻangá, ka naʻe hanganaki seʻe kinautolu ʻe ʻEpalame.
12 ʻI he meimei tō ʻa e laʻaá, naʻe hoko ha mohe maʻu kia ʻEpalame pea naʻe ʻalu hifo kiate ia ha fuʻu fakapoʻuli lahi mo fakamanavahē.
13 Naʻá ne folofola leva kia ʻEpalame: “Ke ke ʻiloʻi fakapapau ʻe hoko ho hakó ko e kau muli ʻi ha fonua ʻoku ʻikai ʻonautolu pea ko e kakai ʻi aí te nau fakapōpulaʻi mo fakamamahiʻi kinautolu ʻi he taʻu ʻe 400.+
14 Ka te u fakamāuʻi ʻa e puleʻanga te nau ngāue ki aí,+ pea ʻi he hili iá te nau ʻalu atu mo e ngaahi koloa lahi.+
15 Ka kiate koe, te ke ʻalu ki hoʻo fanga kuí ʻi he fiemālie; ʻe tanu koe kuó ke toulekeleka ʻaupito.+
16 Ka te nau toe foki mai ki heni+ ʻi he toʻutangata hono faá, koeʻuhí ko e faihala ʻa e kau ʻĀmolí kuo teʻeki ai ke kakato.”+
17 ʻI he tō ʻa e laʻaá pea hoko ʻo fakapoʻuli ʻaupitó, naʻe hā ha fōnise kohu, pea naʻe ʻalu atu ha tūhulu ʻoku ulo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e ngaahi kongokonga ʻo e monumanú.
18 ʻI he ʻaho ko iá naʻe fai ai ʻe Sihova ha fuakava mo ʻEpalame,+ ʻo pehē: “Te u foaki ki ho hakó ʻa e fonuá ni,+ mei he vaitafe ʻo ʻIsipité ki he vaitafe lahí, ʻa e vaitafe ʻIufaletesí:+
19 Ko e fonua ʻo e kau Kēnaí,+ ko e kau Kenisaí, ko e kau Katimoná,
20 ko e kau Hetí,+ ko e kau Pēlisí,+ ko e kau Lifaimí,+
21 ko e kau ʻĀmolí, ko e kau Kēnaní, ko e kau Keakasá, mo e kau Siepusí.”+
