15 Naʻe ʻalu leva ʻa Nētane ki hono fale ʻoʻoná.

Pea naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e tama ʻa ia naʻe fanauʻi ʻe he uaifi ʻo ʻŪlaiá kia Tēvitá, pea naʻá ne hoko ʻo puke.

19 ʻI he sio ʻa Tēvita naʻe fefanafanahi ʻa ʻene kau sevānití, naʻá ne ʻiloʻi kuo mate ʻa e tamá. Naʻe pehē ʻe Tēvita ki heʻene kau sevānití: “Kuo mate ʻa e tamá?” Naʻa nau tali ange: “Kuó ne mate.”

10 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe ʻAmanoni kia Tema: “ʻOmi ʻa e meʻakaí* ki he loki mohé, koeʻuhi ke u kai ia mei ho nimá.” Ko ia naʻe toʻo ai ʻe Tema ʻa e ongo foʻi keke naʻá ne ngaohí ʻo ne ʻave ia ki hono tuongaʻane ko ʻAmanoní ʻi he loki mohé. 11 ʻI heʻene ʻomi ia kiate ia ke ne kaí, naʻá ne puke ia peá ne pehē ange: “Haʻu ke ta mohe, ʻe hoku tuofefine.” 12 Ka naʻá ne pehē ange kiate ia: “ʻIkai, ʻe hoku tuongaʻane! ʻOua te ke fakamaaʻi aú, he ʻoku ʻikai ke fai ha meʻa pehē ʻi ʻIsileli.+ ʻOua ʻe fai ʻa e meʻa fakamā ko ení.+ 13 ʻE lava fēfē ke u ʻai ke ngalo atu ʻa hoku tuʻunga fakamaá? Pea ʻe lau koe ko e taha ʻo e kau tangata fakamā ʻi ʻIsilelí. Ko eni, lea muʻa ki he tuʻí, koeʻuhí ʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi au meiate koe.” 14 Ka naʻá ne fakafisi ke fanongo kiate ia, pea naʻá ne fakamālohiʻi ia pea fakamaaʻi ia ʻaki hono tohotohoʻi ia. 15 Pea naʻe kamata ke fehiʻa ʻa ʻAmanoni ʻiate ia ʻi ha fehiʻa lahi ʻaupito, ko ia naʻe hoko ai ʻa ʻene fehiʻa kiate iá ʻo lahi ange ia ʻi he ʻofa naʻá ne ongoʻi kiate iá. Naʻe pehē ange ʻe ʻAmanoni kiate ia: “Tuʻu hake; peá ke ʻalu!”

14 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Tēvita ʻi he taimi pē ko iá ki he kotoa ʻo ʻene kau sevāniti naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi Selusalemá: “Tuʻu hake, pea tau hola,+ koeʻuhí heʻikai ha taha ʻo kitautolu ʻe hao meia ʻApisalome! Fakavave telia naʻa vave ʻene maʻu kitautolú ʻo ne fakahoko mai ha kovi kiate kitautolu peá ne taaʻi ʻa e koló ʻaki ʻa e heletaá!”+
