31 ʻI he faai atu ʻa e taimí naʻá ne fanongo ki he pehē ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻo Lēpaní: “Kuo ʻave ʻe Sēkope ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻa ʻetau tamaí, pea ko e meʻa ʻa ʻetau tamaí, kuó ne tānaki mei ai ʻa e kotoa ʻo e fuʻu koloá ni.”+ 2 ʻI he sio ʻa Sēkope ki he mata ʻo Lēpaní, naʻá ne vakai ko ʻene fakafōtunga ange kiate iá naʻe ʻikai ke kei hangē ia ko e tuʻunga naʻe ʻi ai ki muʻá.+ 3 Faai atu pē, naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Sēkope: “Foki ki he fonua ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamaí pea ki ho ngaahi kāingá,+ pea ʻe hokohoko atu ʻeku ʻiate koé.” 4 Naʻe fai leva ʻe Sēkope ha fekau kia Lesieli mo Lia ke na omi ki he feituʻu kaikaiʻangá ki heʻene tākangá, 5 pea naʻá ne pehē kiate kinaua:

“Kuó u sio kuo mafuli+ ʻa e fakafōtunga ʻa hoʻomo tamaí kiate aú, ka ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku tamaí kuó ne ʻiate au.+ 6 Ko kimoua tonu ʻokú mo ʻiloʻi lelei kuó u ngāue ki hoʻomo tamaí ʻaki ʻa e kotoa ʻo hoku iví.+ 7 Pea kuo feinga ʻa hoʻomo tamaí ke kākaaʻi au pea kuo tuʻo hongofulu ʻene liliu ʻa ʻeku totongí; ka kuo ʻikai ke fakaʻatā ia ʻe he ʻOtuá ke ne fai ha kovi kiate au. 8 Kapau naʻá ne pehē, ‘Ko e fanga manu ʻileʻilá ʻe hoko ia ko hoʻo totongí,’ naʻe fanauʻi leva ʻe he tākangá kotoa ʻa e fanga manu ʻileʻila; ka ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, kapau naʻá ne pehē, ‘Ko e fanga manu matohitohí ʻe hoko ia ko hoʻo totongí,’ naʻe fanauʻi leva ʻe he tākangá kotoa ʻa e fanga manu matohitohi.+ 9 Ko ia naʻe hanganaki toʻo ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e fanga manu ʻa hoʻomo tamaí meiate ia ʻo ne foaki mai ia kiate au. 10 ʻI he taimi naʻe fakatouʻia ai ʻa e tākangá, naʻe hanga hake hoku matá pea naʻá ku sio ʻi ha misi ko e fanga kosi tangata ko ia naʻa nau fakatouʻiaʻi ʻa e tākangá naʻa nau matohitohi, ʻileʻila, mo pulepule.+ 11 Naʻe pehē mai leva ʻa e ʻāngelo ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní kiate au ʻi he misí, ‘Sēkope,’ ʻa ia naʻá ku pehē ki ai, ‘Ko au eni.’ 12 Pea naʻá ne hoko atu, ‘Hanga hake muʻa ho matá ʻo vakai ko e kotoa ʻo e fanga kosi tangata ʻoku nau fakatouʻiaʻi ʻa e tākangá ʻoku nau matohitohi, ʻileʻila, mo pulepule, he kuó u mamata ki he meʻa kotoa ʻoku fai ʻe Lēpani kiate koé.+ 13 Ko au ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoni ʻo Pētelí,+ ʻa ia naʻá ke pani ai ha pou pea naʻá ke fai ai ha fuakava kiate aú.+ Tuʻu hake leva, ʻalu atu mei he fonuá ni, peá ke foki ki he fonua naʻe fanauʻi ai koé.’”+

14 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe tali ange ʻe Lesieli mo Lia kiate ia: “ʻOku kei toe koā ha ʻinasi maʻamaua ke ma maʻu tukufakaholo ʻi he fale ʻo ʻema tamaí? 15 ʻIkai ʻokú ne lau kimaua ko e ongo muli, he kuó ne fakatau atu kimaua pea kuó ne ngāueʻaki ʻa e paʻanga naʻe foaki ange koeʻuhi ko kimauá?+ 16 Ko e ngaahi koloa kotoa kuo toʻo ʻe he ʻOtuá mei heʻema tamaí ʻoku ʻamaua ia mo ʻema fānaú.+ Ko ia leva, fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē kuo fakahā atu ʻe he ʻOtuá ke ke faí.”+

17 Naʻe tuʻu hake leva ʻa Sēkope ʻo ne fakaheka ʻa ʻene fānaú mo hono ngaahi uaifí ki he fanga kāmelí,+ 18 pea naʻe kamata ke ne taki atu ʻene tākangá kotoa pea ʻave mo e koloa kotoa naʻá ne tānakí,+ ʻa e fanga manu naʻá ne maʻu ʻa ia naʻá ne tānaki ʻi Petana-lamí, ke ʻalu kia ʻAisake ko ʻene tamaí ki he fonua ko Kēnaní.+

19 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Lēpani ke kosi ʻene fanga sipí, pea naʻe kaihaʻasi ʻe Lesieli ʻa e ngaahi ʻīmisi telafimi*+ ʻa ʻene tamaí.+ 20 ʻIkai ngata aí, naʻe fakamatavaleaʻi ʻe Sēkope ʻa Lēpani ko e tangata Alameá, he naʻá ne hola ʻo ʻikai te ne tala ange. 21 Pea naʻá ne hola ʻo ne kolosi ʻi he Vaitafé,*+ ʻa ia mo e meʻa kotoa naʻá ne maʻú. Naʻá ne huʻu atu leva ki he feituʻu moʻungaʻia ko Kiliatí.+ 22 ʻI he ʻaho hono tolú, naʻe fakahā ai kia Lēpani kuo hola ʻa Sēkope. 23 Ko ia naʻá ne ʻave ʻa hono fanga tokouá* ʻo nau tuli atu kiate ia ʻi ha fononga ʻaho ʻe fitu pea nau maʻu atu ia ki he feituʻu moʻungaʻia ko Kiliatí. 24 Naʻe hoko mai leva ʻa e ʻOtuá kia Lēpani ko e tangata Alameá+ ʻi ha misi ʻi he poʻulí+ ʻo ne folofola kiate ia: “Tokanga ʻo fekauʻaki mo e meʻa te ke leaʻaki kia Sēkopé, ha lelei pe kovi.”*+

25 Ko ia naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Lēpani kia Sēkope, ʻi he fokotuʻu ʻe Sēkope hono tēnití ʻi he moʻungá pea naʻe ʻapitanga ʻa Lēpani mo hono fanga tokouá ʻi he feituʻu moʻungaʻia ko Kiliatí. 26 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Lēpani kia Sēkope: “Ko e hā kuó ke faí? Ko e hā kuó ke hanga ai ʻo fakamatavaleaʻi au pea ʻave ʻa hoku ongo ʻofefiné ʻo hangē ha ongo pōpula kuo taki ʻaki ʻa e heletaá? 27 Ko e hā naʻá ke hola fakafufū ai mo fakamatavaleaʻi au ʻo ʻikai te ke tala mai kiate aú? Kapau naʻá ke tala mai, naʻe mei lava ke u tuku atu koe ʻi he fakafiefia mo e ngaahi hiva, fakataha mo e nafa mo e haʻape. 28 Ka naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻomai haku faingamālie ke u ʻuma ki hoku fanga makapuná* pea ki hoku ongo ʻofefiné. Kuó ke fai vale. 29 ʻOku ʻi hoku mafaí ke u fai ha kovi kiate kimoutolu, ka ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻomou tamaí naʻá ne folofola mai kiate au ʻanepō, ʻo pehē, ‘Tokanga ʻo fekauʻaki mo e meʻa te ke leaʻaki kia Sēkopé, ha lelei pe kovi.’+ 30 Ko eni kuó ke ʻalu koeʻuhí kuó ke fakaʻamu ke foki ki he fale ʻo hoʻo tamaí, ka ko e hā naʻá ke kaihaʻasi ai ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻotuá?”+

31 Naʻe tali ange ʻe Sēkope kia Lēpani: “Koeʻuhí naʻá ku ilifia, he naʻá ku pehē hifo pē kiate au, ‘Te ke ʻave fakamālohiʻi nai ho ongo ʻofefiné meiate au.’ 32 ʻIlonga ha taha te ke maʻu ai ho ngaahi ʻotuá ʻe ʻikai te ne moʻui. Vakaiʻi ʻi he ʻao ʻo hota fanga tokouá ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ou maʻú, pea toʻo ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ʻaʻaú.” Ka naʻe ʻikai ke ʻiloʻi ʻe Sēkope naʻe kaihaʻasi ia ʻe Lesieli. 33 Ko ia naʻe hū ʻa Lēpani ki he tēniti ʻo Sēkopé pea ki he tēniti ʻo Liá pea ki he tēniti ʻo e ongo kaunangá,+ ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ia. Naʻá ne hū leva ki tuʻa mei he tēniti ʻo Liá ʻo ne hū ki he tēniti ʻo Lesielí. 34 Lolotonga iá, naʻe toʻo ʻe Lesieli ʻa e ngaahi ʻīmisi telafimí ʻo ne tuku ia ʻi he kato nofoʻa ʻi he kāmelí naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe he kakai fefiné, pea naʻá ne hekeheka ai. Ko ia naʻe kumi holo ʻa Lēpani ʻi he tēnití kotoa ka naʻe ʻikai te ne maʻu ia. 35 Naʻá ne pehē ange leva ki heʻene tamaí: “ʻOua te ke ʻitá, ʻe hoku ʻeiki, he ʻoku ʻikai lava ke u tuʻu hake ʻi ho ʻaó, he ʻoku hoko kiate au ʻa e meʻa anga-maheni ki he kakai fefiné.”+ Ko ia naʻe hokohoko atu ʻene kumi fakamākukangá ka naʻe ʻikai te ne maʻu ʻa e ngaahi ʻīmisi telafimí.+

36 ʻI he meʻa ko iá naʻe hoko ʻa Sēkope ʻo ʻita pea kamata ke ne fakaangaʻi ʻa Lēpani. Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Sēkope kia Lēpani: “Ko e hā haʻaku hia, pea ko e hā ha angahala kuó ke tuli mālohi mai ai kiate aú? 37 Ko eni kuó ke kumi ʻi he kotoa ʻo ʻeku ngaahi koloá, ko e hā kuó ke maʻu ʻa ia ko e meʻa ia mei ho falé?

Kuo vakai mai ʻa e ʻOtuá ki heʻeku mamahí mo e fakaongosia ʻa hoku nimá, pea ko e ʻuhinga ia naʻá ne valokiʻi ai koe ʻanepoó.”+

43 Naʻe tali ange leva ʻe Lēpani kia Sēkope: “Ko e kau fefiné ni ko hoku ngaahi ʻofefine pea ko e fānaú ko ʻeku fānau pea ko e tākangá ko ʻeku tākanga, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻokú ke sio ki aí ko ʻeku meʻa pea ko hoku ngaahi ʻofefine.

48 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Lēpani: “Ko e fokotuʻunga maká ni ko ha fakamoʻoni ia ʻi hota vahaʻá ʻi he ʻahó ni.” Ko e ʻuhinga ia naʻe fakahingoa ai ia ko Kāleti,+ 49 mo e Taua Leʻó, he naʻá ne pehē: “Tuku ke hanganaki leʻo ʻa Sihova ʻi hota vahaʻá ʻi he taimi ʻe ʻikai te ta fesiofaki aí. 50 Kapau te ke ngaohikoviʻi hoku ongo ʻofefiné pea kapau ʻe kamata ke ke toe maʻu ha ngaahi uaifi ʻo tānaki atu ki hoku ongo ʻofefiné, neongo ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻiate kitaua, manatuʻi ko e ʻOtuá ʻe hoko ko ha fakamoʻoni ʻi hota vahaʻá.” 51 Naʻe hoko atu leva ʻa Lēpani ʻo ne pehē kia Sēkope: “Ko eni ko e fokotuʻunga maká eni, pea ko eni ʻa e pou kuó u fokotuʻu ʻi hota vahaʻá. 52 Ko e fokotuʻunga maká ni ko ha fakamoʻoni ia,+ pea ko e poú ko ha meʻa faifakamoʻoni ia, ʻe ʻikai te u fakalaka ʻi he fokotuʻunga maká ni ke fai ha kovi kiate koe pea ʻe ʻikai te ke fakalaka ʻi he fokotuʻunga maká ni pea ʻi he poú ni ke fai ha kovi kiate au. 53 Tuku ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻĒpalahamé+ pea ki he ʻOtua ʻo Nēhoá, ʻa e ʻOtua ʻo ʻena tamaí, ke ne fakamaau ʻi hota vahaʻá.” Pea naʻe fai ʻe Sēkope ha fakapapau ʻi he Tokotaha ʻa ia ʻoku manavahē ki ai ʻa ʻene tamai ko ʻAisaké.+
