Neemia 9:1-38
9 ʼI te 24 ʼaho ʼo te mahina ʼaia, neʼe fakatahitahi leva te kau Iselaele. Pea neʼe natou sesunio, mo tui he ʼu taga,* pea mo natou tu kia natou te lefulefu.+
2 Ko natou ʼae neʼe hifo mai te kau Iselaele, neʼe natou mavae kehe leva mai te kau matapule fuli,+ pea neʼe natou tutuʼu mo vetevete ʼanatou agahala pea mo te ʼu agahala ʼo ʼanatou kui.+
3 Pea neʼe natou tutuʼu ake ʼi te faʼahi ʼae neʼe natou nonofo ai, ʼo lau leʼo lahi te tohi ʼo te Lao+ ʼa Sehova tonatou ʼAtua lolotoga hola ʼe tolu. Pea ʼi te tahi age ʼu hola ʼe tolu, neʼe natou vetevete ʼanatou agahala pea mo tulolo ia muʼa ʼo Sehova tonatou ʼAtua.
4 Neʼe tutuʼu ia Sesua, mo Pani, mo Katemiele, mo Sipania, mo Puni, mo Selepea,+ mo Pani pea mo Kenani ʼi te meʼa maʼoluga ʼae neʼe tutuʼu ai+ te kau Levite, ʼo natou kalaga leʼo lahi kia Sehova tonatou ʼAtua.
5 Pea neʼe ui e te kau Levite ko Sesua, mo Katemiele, mo Pani, mo Asapenia, mo Selepea, mo Otisa, mo Sipania pea mo Petasia: “Kotou tutuʼu ake pea mo kotou fakavikiviki kia Sehova tokotou ʼAtua ʼo heʼe gata.*+ Pea ke natou vikiʼi tou huafa fakakololia, ʼae ʼe maʼoluga age ʼi te ʼu tapuakina mo te ʼu fakavikiviki fuli.
6 “Ko koe pe Sehova ʼe ke tokotahi.+ Neʼe ke fakatupu te ʼatu lagi, ʼei, te lagi ʼae ʼe maʼoluga ʼaupito* mo te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae ʼi ai,* mo te kele pea mo te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae ʼi ai, mo te ʼu tai pea mo te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae ʼi ai. ʼE ke taupau ke maʼuli te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼaia pea ʼe tulolo ʼi ʼou muʼa te kautau ʼo te ʼatu lagi.
7 ʼE ko koe Sehova te ʼAtua moʼoni, ʼae neʼe ke filifili ia Apalamo+ mo ke fakamavae mai Ule,+ te kolo ʼo te kau Kaletea pea neʼe ke foaki kia ia te higoa ko Apalahamo.+
8 Neʼe ke iloʼi ʼe agatonu tona loto kia te koe,+ koia neʼe ke fai mo ia he fuakava ke ke foaki age kia ia te fenua ʼo te kau Kanaane, mo te kau Heti, mo te kau Amole, mo te kau Pelesite, mo te kau Sepusi pea mo te kau Kilikasi, ke ina foaki ki tona hakoga.+ Pea neʼe ke fakahoko ʼau fakapapau, he ʼe ke faitotonu.
9 “Pea neʼe ke sio ki te mamahi ʼo ʼamatou kui ʼi Esipito,+ pea neʼe ke logo ki tanatou kalaga ʼi te Tai Kula.
10 Neʼe ke fakahoko leva he ʼu fakailoga pea mo he ʼu milakulo moʼo tauteaʼi ia Falaone, mo tana hahaʼi faifekau fuli pea mo te hahaʼi fuli ʼo tona fenua,+ he neʼe ke iloʼi neʼe natou fiameʼalahi+ ki ʼamatou kui. Neʼe iloa ai tou huafa ʼo kaku mai ki te ʼaho ʼaeni.+
11 Pea neʼe ke vaheʼi lua te tai ʼi ʼonatou muʼa, ʼo natou fakalaka ai ʼi te tai ʼi he kele moamoa,+ pea neʼe ke li ki te loloto natou ʼae neʼe natou tuli ia natou, ohage ko he foʼi maka neʼe li ki he tai ʼe tokakovi.+
12 Neʼe ke taki natou ʼi te ʼaho ʼaki he ʼao pea ʼi te poʼuli ʼaki he pou afi, ʼo ke fakamalamaʼi ai te ala ʼae neʼe tonu ke natou olo ai.+
13 Pea neʼe ke hifo mai ki te Moʼuga ʼo Sinai+ pea neʼe ke palalau mo natou mai selo+ pea neʼe ke foaki kia natou he ʼu fakamau faitotonu, mo he ʼu lao ʼe moʼoni,* pea mo he ʼu lekula mo he ʼu fakatotonu ʼe lelei.+
14 Neʼe ke fakaha age kia natou tou Sapato taputapu,+ pea mo ke foaki kia natou he ʼu fakatotonu, mo he ʼu lekula pea mo he lao ʼaki tau tagata faifekau ko Moisese.
15 ʼI te temi ʼae neʼe natou fia kakai ai, neʼe ke foaki age he pane mai te lagi,+ pea ʼi te temi ʼae neʼe natou fia iinu ai, neʼe ke fakahali mai te foʼi maka he vai.+ Pea neʼe ke ui age ke natou ulu pea mo toʼo maʼa natou te fenua ʼae neʼe ke fakapapau ʼe ke foaki anai kia natou.
16 “Kae neʼe fiameʼalahi leva ʼamatou kui+ pea neʼe natou uigataʼa.*+ Neʼe mole natou fia fakalogo ki ʼau fakatotonu.
17 ʼEi, neʼe mole natou fia fakalogo,+ pea neʼe mole natou manatuʼi ʼau gaue fakaofoofo ʼae neʼe ke fakahoko ʼi te lotolotoiga ʼo natou. Neʼe natou uigataʼa,* ʼo natou fakanofo he pule ke natou toe liliu ki tonatou maʼuli popula ʼi Esipito.+ Kae ko koe ko he ʼAtua ʼe lotofakamolemole, mo manavaʼofa, mo tuai ʼi te ita pea mo fonu ʼi te ʼofa agatonu,+ pea neʼe mole ke liʼaki natou.+
18 Maʼia mo te temi ʼae neʼe natou faʼu ai he fakatata ʼo he ʼuhiʼi pipi* pea mo natou ui: ‘Koʼeni tou ʼAtua ʼae neʼe ina fakamavae koe mai Esipito,’+ pea neʼe lahi ʼaupito tanatou aga heʼe fakaʼapaʼapa,
19 ʼei, maʼia mo te temi ʼaia, neʼe mole ke liʼaki natou ʼi te toafa, ʼuhi ko te lahi ʼo tou manavaʼofa.+ ʼI te ʼaho, neʼe mole mavae ia natou te ʼao ʼae neʼe ina taki natou ʼi te ala, ʼo feia mo te pou afi ʼae neʼe ina fakamalamaʼi natou ʼi te poʼuli ʼi te ala ʼae neʼe tonu ke natou olo ai.+
20 Pea neʼe ke foaki age tou laumalie* ke natou mahino,+ pea neʼe mole ke taʼofi tau mane mai ʼonatou gutu,+ pea neʼe ke foaki age kia natou he vai ʼi te temi ʼae neʼe natou fia iinu ai.+
21 Neʼe ke fafaga natou ʼi te toafa lolotoga taʼu ʼe 40.+ Neʼe natou maʼu tuʼumaʼu pe te ʼu meʼa ʼae neʼe ʼaoga kia natou. Neʼe mole popo ʼonatou teu+ pea neʼe mole fufula ʼonatou vaʼe.
22 “Neʼe ke foaki kia natou te ʼu puleʼaga pea mo te hahaʼi, ʼo ke vaevae age kia natou,+ ke natou toʼo maʼa natou te fenua ʼo Sihone,+ ia te fenua ʼo te hau ʼo Heseponi,+ ʼo feia mo te fenua ʼo Oke,+ ia te hau ʼo Pasani.
23 Pea neʼe ke fakaliliu ʼo kaugamalie ʼonatou foha ohage ko te ʼu fetuʼu ʼo te ʼatu lagi.+ Neʼe ke fakahu natou ki te fenua ʼae neʼe ke fakapapauʼi ki ʼanatou kui ʼe natou hu anai ki ai pea ʼe natou maʼu anai.+
24 Koia neʼe hu ai ʼonatou foha ʼo toʼo te fenua maʼa natou,+ pea neʼe ke tuku ke fakalogo kia natou te kau Kanaane,+ ia te hahaʼi ʼo te fenua. Pea neʼe ke tuku te hahaʼi ʼo te fenua ʼaia mo ʼonatou hau ki ʼonatou nima, ke natou fai kia natou te meʼa ʼae neʼe natou loto ki ai.
25 Pea neʼe natou ʼohofi leva he ʼu kolo tau+ pea mo he fenua lelei,+ pea neʼe natou toʼo maʼa natou he ʼu ʼapi neʼe fonu ai te ʼu meʼa lelei kehekehe, mo he ʼu tane vai neʼe kua ʼosi keli, mo he ʼu gaueʼaga vite, mo he ʼu gaueʼaga oliveto,+ pea mo he ʼu fuʼu ʼakau ʼe fua mo lahi ʼaupito. Neʼe natou kakai ai, mo makokona pea mo sisino, pea neʼe natou fiafia ʼuhi ko te lahi ʼo tou agalelei.
26 “Kae neʼe natou talagataʼa leva pea mo agatuʼu kia te koe,+ pea mo natou lituʼa ki tau Lao.* Neʼe natou matehi ʼau polofeta ʼae neʼe natou fakatokaga ia natou ke natou toe liliu mai kia te koe, pea neʼe lahi ʼaupito tanatou aga heʼe fakaʼapaʼapa.+
27 Pea ʼuhi ko te faʼahi ʼaia, neʼe ke tuku leva natou ki te ʼu nima ʼo ʼonatou fili,+ ʼae neʼe natou fakamamahiʼi tuʼumaʼu natou.+ Kae neʼe natou kalaga atu ʼi tonatou temi mamahi, pea neʼe ke logo mai te ʼatu lagi. Pea ʼuhi ko tou manavaʼofa lahi, neʼe ke fekauʼi he ʼu tagata ke natou haofaki natou mai te ʼu nima ʼo ʼonatou fili.+
28 “Kae ʼi tanatou maʼu leva he fimalie, neʼe natou toe fai pe te meʼa ʼae ʼe kovi ʼi ʼou muʼa,+ pea neʼe ke liʼaki natou ki te ʼu nima ʼo ʼonatou fili, ʼae neʼe natou puleʼi natou.*+ Neʼe natou toe liliu atu leva ʼo kole tau tokoni,+ pea neʼe ke logo mai te ʼatu lagi ʼo ke haofaki tuʼumaʼu pe natou ʼuhi ko tou manavaʼofa lahi.+
29 Logo la tau fakatokaga natou ke toe liliu mai ki tau Lao, kae neʼe natou fiameʼalahi pea neʼe mole natou fia fakalogo ki ʼau fakatotonu.+ Neʼe natou agahala he neʼe mole natou fakalogo ki ʼau lekula, ʼae ʼe feala ki he tagata ke maʼuli mo kapau ʼe mulimuli ki ai.+ Kae neʼe natou lituʼa tuʼumaʼu kia te koe mo uigataʼa,* pea neʼe mole natou fia fakalogo.
30 Neʼe ke katakiʼi natou+ lolotoga ni taʼu pea neʼe ke haga fakatokaga natou ʼaki tou laumalie pea mo ʼau polofeta, kae neʼe mole natou fia fakalogo. Pea neʼe ke tuku leva natou ki te ʼu nima ʼo te hahaʼi ʼo te ʼu fenua.+
31 Kae ʼuhi ko tou manavaʼofa lahi, neʼe mole ke pulihi natou+ peʼe ke liʼaki natou, he ʼe ko koe ko te ʼAtua manavaʼofa.+
32 “Pea ʼi te lakaga ʼaeni, siʼomatou ʼAtua, te ʼAtua lahi, mo mafimafi pea mo fakamanavahe, ʼae ʼe ina taupau tana fuakava pea mo fakaha tona ʼofa agatonu,+ ʼaua naʼa ke meʼa noaʼi te ʼu mamahi fuli ʼae neʼe tau mo matou, mo ʼomatou hau, mo ʼomatou ʼaliki,+ mo ʼamatou pelepitelo,+ mo ʼamatou polofeta,+ mo ʼamatou kui pea mo tau hahaʼi katoa, talu mai te temi ʼo te ʼu hau ʼo Asilia+ ʼo kaku mai ki te ʼaho ʼaeni.
33 Neʼe ke faitotonu ʼi te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae neʼe hoko kia matou, he neʼe ke agatonu, kae ko matou ʼae neʼe agakovi.+
34 Ko ʼomatou hau, mo ʼomatou ʼaliki, mo ʼamatou pelepitelo pea mo ʼamatou kui neʼe mole natou mulimuli ki tau Lao pea mo tokagaʼi ʼau fakatotonu peʼe ko ʼau fakamanatu* ʼae neʼe ke fai moʼo fakatokaga ʼo natou.
35 Maʼia mo tanatou kua nonofo ʼi tonatou puleʼaga pea mo te mahu ʼo te ʼu meʼa lelei ʼae neʼe ke foaki kia natou pea mo tanatou nonofo ʼi he fenua lahi mo lelei neʼe ke tuku age kia natou, neʼe mole natou tauhi kia te koe+ pea mo tafoki mai ʼanatou aga ʼae ʼe kovi.
36 Koia, kua matou liliu ʼi te ʼaho nei ko he ʼu kaugana,+ ʼei, ko he ʼu kaugana ʼi te fenua ʼae neʼe ke foaki ki ʼamatou kui ke natou kai ki ʼona fua pea mo ʼona lelei.
37 ʼE lahi ʼaupito te ʼu fua ʼae ʼe maʼu e te ʼu hau ʼae neʼe ke tuku ke natou puleʼi matou, ʼuhi ko ʼamatou agahala.+ ʼE natou puleʼi faʼitaliha matou* mo ʼamatou faga manu, pea ʼe lahi tomatou mamahi.
38 “Koia, ʼuhi ko te ʼu faʼahi fuli ʼaia, ʼe matou fai nei pea mo tohi he fakapapau taputapu+ pea ʼe fakamoʼoni ʼaki te fakailoga ʼo ʼomatou ʼaliki, mo ʼamatou Levite pea mo ʼamatou pelepitelo.”+
