Te kau ʼave logo mai Papiloni (1-8)
39 ʼI te temi ʼaia, neʼe momoli e te hau ʼo Papiloni, ko Melotake-palatane, te foha ʼo Palatane, he ʼu tohi mo he meʼa ʼofa kia Esekiasi,+ he neʼe logo neʼe mahaki pea kua lelei.+
2 Neʼe fakatalitali fakafiafia e Esekiasi ia te ʼu tagata ʼave logo. Neʼe ina fakaha age te fale ʼae neʼe tanaki ai ʼona koloa:+ te siliva, mo te aulo, mo te lolo neʼe fai ʼaki te ʼu ʼakau fakamagoni, mo te tahi age lolo maʼuhiga, mo ʼana mahafu tau fuli pea mo te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae neʼe tuku ʼi ʼona fale tanakiʼaga koloa. Neʼe fakaha age e Esekiasi te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae neʼe ʼi tona fale hau pea mo tona puleʼaga.
3 Hili ʼaia, neʼe alu leva te polofeta ko Esaia ki te Hau ko Esekiasi, ʼo fehuʼi age ki ai: “Kotea ʼae neʼe ui atu e te ʼu tagata ʼaia? Pea neʼe ʼomai maifea?” Neʼe tali age e Esekiasi: “Neʼe ʼomai mai he fenua mamaʼo, mai Papiloni.”+
4 Pea neʼe ina fehuʼi age ki ai: “Kotea ʼae neʼe natou sisio ki ai ʼi tou fale hau?” Neʼe tali age e Esekiasi: “Neʼe natou sisio ki te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae ʼi toku fale hau. Neʼe au fakaha age kia natou ia meʼa fuli ʼae ʼi ʼoku fale tanakiʼaga koloa.”
5 Neʼe ui leva e Esaia kia Esekiasi: “Fagono ki te folafola ʼaeni ʼa Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau:
6 ‘Koʼeni, ʼe hoko mai anai te temi ʼae ka ʼave ai ki Papiloni te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae ʼi tou fale hau pea mo te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae neʼe tanaki e ʼau kui ʼo kaku mai ki te ʼaho nei. ʼE mole tuku anai he meʼa,’+ ko te ui ʼaia ʼa Sehova.+
7 ‘Pea ko ʼihi ʼo tou hologa ʼe ʼave popula anai mo gaue ʼi te fale hau ʼo te hau ʼo Papiloni.’ ”+
8 Neʼe ui e Esekiasi kia Esaia: “ ʼE lelei te folafola ʼa Sehova ʼae neʼe ke fakaha mai.” Pea neʼe ina hoko atu: “ ʼE lelei pe ia, mo kapau ʼe maʼu te tokalelei mo te fimalie lolotoga toku temi maʼuli.”+
