24 Naʻe toe kakaha ʻa e houhau ʻa Sihová ki ʻIsileli+ ʻi hono fakaʻaiʻai ʻe ha taha ʻa Tēvita* ke ne fai ha meʻa naʻe kovi pē kiate kinautolu, ʻi heʻene pehē ange: “ʻAlu ʻo lau+ ʻa ʻIsileli pea mo Siuta.”+ 2 Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻí kia Sioape+ ko e ʻeikitaú ʻa ia naʻe ʻiate iá: “Kātaki muʻa ʻo ʻalu atu ki he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi matakali ʻo ʻIsilelí, mei Tani ki Pea-sipa,+ pea lēsisita ʻa e kakaí, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ʻa e tokolahi ʻo e kakaí.” 3 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sioape ki he tuʻí: “ʻOfa ke fakatokolahi ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtuá ʻa e kakaí ʻo liunga 100, pea ʻofa ke mamata ki ai ʻa e fofonga ʻo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻí, ka ko e hā ʻoku loto ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻí ke fai ha meʻa peheé?”
4 Ka naʻe mālohi ʻa e lea ʻa e tuʻí kia Sioape pea mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo e kau taú. Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Sioape pea mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo e kau taú mei he ʻao ʻo e tuʻí ke lēsisita ʻa e kakai ʻo ʻIsilelí.+ 5 Naʻa nau kolosi ʻi Sioatani ʻo nau ʻapitanga ʻi ʻAloeli,+ pea ki he toʻomataʻu* ʻo e kolo ʻi he loto teleʻá,* pea nau ō atu ki he haʻa Katá, pea ki Siasea.+ 6 ʻI he hili iá, naʻa nau ʻalu atu ki Kiliati+ pea ki he fonua ko Tatimi-hōtisí pea nau hoko atu ai ki Tani-ʻiani pea nau takai hake ki Saitoni.+ 7 Hili iá, naʻa nau ʻalu ki he kolotau ko Tāiá+ pea mo e ngaahi kolo kotoa ʻo e kau Heví+ pea mo e kau Kēnaní, pea naʻe faifai pē ʻo nau aʻu ki he feituʻu Nīkepi+ ʻo Siutá ki Pea-sipa.+ 8 Ko ia naʻa nau ʻalu atu ʻi he kotoa ʻo e fonuá pea nau omi ki Selusalema ʻi he ʻosi ia ʻa e māhina ʻe hiva mo e ʻaho ʻe 20. 9 Naʻe ʻoange leva ʻe Sioape ki he tuʻí ʻa e tokolahi ʻo e kakai naʻe lēsisitá. Naʻe feʻunga ʻa ʻIsileli mo e kau tau toʻo heletā ʻe toko 800,000, pea naʻe toko 500,000+ ʻa e kau tangata ʻo Siutá.
10 Ka naʻe ongoʻi tautea+ ʻa e loto* ʻo Tēvitá ʻi he hili ʻene lau ʻa e kakaí. Naʻe pehē leva ʻe Tēvita kia Sihova: “Kuó u faiangahala+ lahi ʻi heʻeku fai ʻa e meʻá ni. Pea ko eni, ʻe Sihova, ke ke fakamolemoleʻi muʻa ʻa e faihala ʻa hoʻo sevānití,+ he kuó u mātuʻaki fai vale.”+ 11 ʻI he mālanga hake ʻa Tēvita ʻi he pongipongí, naʻe hoko mai ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihová kia Kata+ ko e palōfitá, ʻa e tokotaha-vīsone ʻa Tēvitá, ʻo ne pehē: 12 “ʻAlu ʻo tala kia Tēvita, ‘Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihová: “ʻOku ou ʻoatu kiate koe ʻa e meʻa ʻe tolu ke ke fili mei ai. Fili ʻa e taha ko ia te u fakahoko atu kiate koé.”’”+ 13 Ko ia naʻe hū atu ʻa Kata kia Tēvita ʻo ne tala kiate ia: “Ko ha honge ke hoko mai ki ho fonuá ʻi ha taʻu ʻe fitu?+ Pe ko haʻo hola ʻi ha māhina ʻe tolu mei ho ngaahi filí lolotonga ia ʻenau tulimui kiate koé?+ Pe ko ha mahaki fakaʻauha ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe tolu ʻi ho fonuá?+ Ko ia fakakaukau fakalelei pe ko e hā te u tali ʻaki ki he Tokotaha naʻá ne fekau mai aú.” 14 Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe Tēvita kia Kata: “ʻOku mātuʻaki fakamamahi kiate au. Tuku muʻa ke tau tō ki he nima ʻo Sihová,+ he ʻoku lahi ʻa ʻene mēsí;+ kae ʻoua naʻa tuku ke tau tō ki he nima ʻo e tangatá.”+
15 Pea naʻe tuku mai ʻe Sihova ha mahaki fakaʻauha+ ki ʻIsileli mei he pongipongí ʻo aʻu ki he taimi naʻe kotofa ki aí, ko ia naʻe mate+ ai ʻa e kakai ʻe toko 70,000 mei Tani ki Pea-sipa.+ 16 ʻI he mafao atu ʻe he ʻāngeló hono nimá ki Selusalema ke fakaʻauha iá, naʻe ongoʻi fakaʻiseʻisa* ʻa Sihova ʻi he fakatamakí ni,+ peá ne folofola ki he ʻāngelo naʻá ne ʻomai ʻa e fakaʻauhá ki he kakaí: “Kuo feʻunga! Tuku hifo ā ho nimá.” Naʻe ofi atu ʻa e ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová ki he ʻauʻauʻanga uite ʻa ʻAlauna+ ko e Siepusí.+
17 ʻI he sio ʻa Tēvita ki he ʻāngelo naʻá ne taaʻi ʻa e kakaí, naʻá ne pehē kia Sihova: “Ko au ʻa e tokotaha naʻe faiangahalá, pea ko au ʻa e tokotaha naʻe faihalá; ka ko e fanga sipí ni+—ko e hā ʻa e meʻa kuo nau faí? Tuku muʻa ke hoko mai ho nimá kiate au pea mo e fale ʻo ʻeku tamaí.”+
18 Ko ia naʻe hū atu ʻa Kata kia Tēvita ʻi he ʻaho ko iá ʻo ne pehē kiate ia: “ʻAlu hake pea fokotuʻu ha ʻōlita moʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻauʻauʻanga uite ʻa ʻAlauna ko e Siepusí.”+ 19 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Tēvita ʻo fakatatau ki he lea ʻa Katá, ʻo hangē ko e tuʻutuʻuni ʻa Sihová. 20 ʻI he sio hifo ʻa ʻAlauna ki he tuʻí mo ʻene kau sevānití ʻoku nau ʻalu hake kiate iá, naʻe hū atu ʻi he taimi pē ko iá ʻa ʻAlauna ʻo ne punou ki he tuʻí ʻo hanga ki he kelekelé. 21 Naʻe ʻeke ʻe ʻAlauna: “Ko e hā ʻoku haʻu ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻí ki heʻene sevānití?” Naʻe tali ange ʻe Tēvita: “Ke fakatau meiate koe ʻa e ʻauʻauʻanga uité koeʻuhí ke u fokotuʻu ai ha ʻōlita kia Sihova, kae ngata ai ʻa e mala kuo hoko ki he kakaí.”+ 22 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAlauna kia Tēvita: “Tuku ke maʻu ia ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻí, pea feilaulauʻaki ha meʻa pē ʻoku hā lelei kiate iá.* Ko e fanga pulu ē ki he feilaulau tutú pea mo e papa ʻauʻau uité mo e naunau ʻoku ngāueʻaki ki he fanga pulú ke fefieʻaki. 23 Ko e meʻá ni kotoa, ʻe hoʻo ʻAfio, ʻoku foaki atu ia ʻe ʻAlauna ki he tuʻí.” Naʻe toe pehē ange ʻe ʻAlauna ki he tuʻí: “ʻOfa ke hōifua atu kiate koe ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtuá.”
24 Kae kehe, naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻí kia ʻAlauna: “ʻIkai, kuo pau ke u fakatau ʻaki ia ha totongi meiate koe. ʻE ʻikai te u feilaulauʻaki kia Sihova ko hoku ʻOtuá ha ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻo taʻeʻiai haʻaku fakamole.” Ko ia naʻe fakatau mai ʻe Tēvita ʻa e ʻauʻauʻanga uité pea mo e fanga pulú ʻaki ʻa e sikeli*+ siliva ʻe 50. 25 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻe Tēvita ha ʻōlita+ kia Sihova peá ne ʻohake ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau feʻinasiʻaki. Naʻe fai mai leva ʻe Sihova ha tali ki he kōlenga naʻe fai maʻá e fonuá,+ pea naʻe ngata ai ʻa e mala naʻe hoko ki ʻIsilelí.
