42 Pea ko e kau ʻeikitaú kotoa, mo Siohānani+ ko e foha ʻo Kaleá, Sīsanaia ko e foha ʻo Hōsaiá, pea mo e kotoa ʻo e kakaí, mei he siʻi taha ki he lahi taha, naʻa nau fakaofiofi atu 2 ʻo nau pehē kia Selemaia ko e palōfitá: “Fanongo mai muʻa, peá ke tali ʻa ʻemau kolé, peá ke fai ha lotu maʻamautolu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtuá, maʻá e kotoa ʻo e toenga ko ení, he ko ha tokosiʻi pē mei he tokolahi ʻoku kei toé,+ ʻo hangē ko ia ʻokú ke sio ki aí. 3 ʻOfa ke tala mai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtuá ʻa e hala ʻoku totonu ke mau fou aí pea mo e meʻa ʻoku totonu ke mau faí.”
4 Naʻe tali ange ʻe Selemaia ko e palōfitá kiate kinautolu: “Kuó u fanongo kiate kimoutolu, pea te u lotu kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻomou kolé; pea ko e lea kotoa pē ʻe tali mai ʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolú, te u tala atu kiate kimoutolu. Heʻikai te u taʻofi ha foʻi lea ʻe taha meiate kimoutolu.”
5 Naʻa nau tali ange kia Selemaia: “ʻOfa ke hoko ʻa Sihova ko ha fakamoʻoni totonu mo faitōnunga kiate kimautolu ʻo kapau heʻikai te mau fai ʻa e meʻa tofu pē ko ia ʻe fakahinohino mai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtuá kiate kimautolu fakafou ʻiate koé. 6 Pe ʻe lelei pe kovi, te mau talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtuá, ʻa ia ʻoku mau fekauʻi koe ki aí, ke lelei kiate kimautolu koeʻuhi ko ʻemau talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtuá.”
7 Pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻe hongofulu mei ai naʻe hoko mai ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihová kia Selemaia. 8 Ko ia naʻá ne ui mai ʻa Siohānani ko e foha ʻo Kaleá pea mo e kau ʻeikitau kotoa naʻe ʻiate iá pea mo e kotoa ʻo e kakaí, mei he siʻi taha ki he lahi taha.+ 9 Naʻá ne pehē ange kiate kinautolu: “Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí, ʻa ia naʻa mou fekau au ki ai ke fakahoko hoʻomou kole ki ha hōifua ʻi hono ʻaó: 10 ‘Kapau te mou nofo ai pē ʻi he fonuá ni, te u langa hake leva kimoutolu ʻo ʻikai holoki hifo, pea te u tō kimoutolu ʻo ʻikai taʻaki, he te u ongoʻi fakaʻiseʻisa* ʻi he fakatamaki kuó u ʻai ke hoko kiate kimoutolú.+ 11 ʻOua te mou ilifia koeʻuhi ko e tuʻi ʻo Pāpiloné, ʻa ia ʻoku mou manavahē ki aí.’+
“‘ʻOua te mou ilifia koeʻuhi ko ia,’ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, ‘he ʻoku ou ʻiate kimoutolu, ke fakamoʻui kimoutolu pea ke fakahaofi kimoutolu mei hono nimá. 12 Pea te u fakahaaʻi ʻa e meesi+ kiate kimoutolu, pea te ne meesi kiate kimoutolu ʻo fakafoki kimoutolu ki homou fonuá tonu.
13 “‘Ka ʻo kapau te mou pehē, “ʻIkai, ʻe ʻikai te mau nofo kimautolu ʻi he fonuá ni,” pea mou talangataʻa ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá 14 ʻaki hoʻomou pehē, “ʻIkai, ka te mau ʻalu kimautolu ki he fonua ko ʻIsipité,+ ʻa ia heʻikai te mau mamata ai ki ha tau pe fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo e meʻaifí pe fiekaia ai ki ha mā; ko e feituʻu ia te mau nofo aí,” 15 fanongo mai leva ki he folofola ʻa Sihová, ʻe toenga ʻo Siutá. Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí: “Kapau ʻoku mou mātuʻaki fakapapauʻi ke mou ō ki ʻIsipite pea mou ō ke nofo ai,* 16 pea ko e heletā tofu pē ko ia ʻoku mou ilifia ki aí te ne maʻu kimoutolu ʻi ai ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipité, pea ko e honge tofu pē ko ia ʻoku mou ilifia ki aí ʻe muimui atu ʻiate kimoutolu ki ʻIsipite, pea te mou mate ʻi ai.+ 17 Pea ko e kotoa ʻo e kau tangata ʻoku nau fakapapauʻi ke ō ki ʻIsipite ʻo nofo aí te nau mate ʻi he heletā, ʻi he honge, pea ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha.* Heʻikai ha taha ʻo kinautolu ʻe hao pe hola mei he fakatamaki te u ʻomi kiate kinautolú.”’
18 “He ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí: ‘Hangē tofu pē ko hono huaʻi hifo ʻo ʻeku ʻitá mo ʻeku tuputāmakí ki he kakai ʻo Selusalemá,+ ʻe pehē ʻa hono huaʻi hifo kiate kimoutolu ʻa ʻeku ʻitá ʻo kapau te mou ō ki ʻIsipite, pea te mou hoko ko ha meʻa ke fai ʻa e talatuki ki ai, ko ha meʻa ke fai ai ha fakalilifuʻia, ko ha mala, pea mo ha lumaʻanga,+ pea heʻikai ʻaupito te mou toe sio ʻi he feituʻú ni.’
19 “Kuo folofola ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ʻe toenga ʻo Siuta. ʻOua te mou ō ki ʻIsipite. ʻOku totonu ke mou ʻiloʻi papau kuó u fakatokanga kiate kimoutolu he ʻahó ni 20 ko hoʻomou faihalá ʻe mole ai hoʻomou moʻuí. He naʻa mou fekauʻi au kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá, ʻo pehē, ‘Fai ha lotu maʻamautolu kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtuá, pea tala mai kiate kimautolu ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtuá, pea te mau fai ia.’+ 21 Pea naʻá ku tala atu kiate kimoutolu he ʻahó ni, ka ʻe ʻikai te mou talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá pe fai ha meʻa pē naʻá ne fekau mai kiate au ke tala atu kiate kimoutolu.+ 22 Ko ia ai, ke mou ʻiloʻi papau te mou mate ʻi he heletā, ʻi he honge, pea ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha ʻi he feituʻu ʻoku mou holi ke mou ō ʻo nofo aí.”+
