22 Naʻe mavahe leva ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí pea nau ʻapitanga ʻi he toafa ʻo Mōapé ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani ʻoku hanga ki Sielikoó.+ 2 Pea ko Pēlaki+ ko e foha ʻo Sīpoá naʻá ne mamata ki he meʻa kotoa kuo fai ʻe ʻIsileli ki he kau ʻĀmolí, 3 pea naʻe hoko ʻo ilifia lahi ʻa Mōape ʻi he kakaí, koeʻuhí he naʻa nau fuʻu tokolahi; ko e moʻoni, naʻe mātuʻaki manavahē ʻa Mōape koeʻuhi ko e kau ʻIsilelí.+ 4 Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe Mōape ki he kau mātuʻa ʻo Mitianí:+ “Ko eni ko e fakatahaʻangá ni te nau keina ʻa e kotoa hotau ngaahi feituʻu takatakaí, ʻo hangē ko hono keina ʻe ha pulu ʻa e musie ʻi he vaó.”
Ko Pēlaki ko e foha ʻo Sīpoá ʻa e tuʻi ʻo Mōape ʻi he taimi ko iá. 5 Naʻá ne fekauʻi atu ha kau talafekau kia Pēlami ko e foha ʻo Pioá ʻi Pētola,+ ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi he veʻe Vaitafé* ʻi hono fonua tupuʻangá. Naʻá ne fekauʻi ia ke ne ʻalu ange, ʻo ne pehē: “Vakai! Kuo haʻu ha kakai mei ʻIsipite. Vakai! Kuo nau ʻufiʻufi ʻa e funga ʻo e māmaní,*+ pea ʻoku nau nofo tonu mai pē ʻi muʻa ʻiate au. 6 Ke ke haʻu muʻa ʻo fai maʻaku hano talatukiʻi ʻo e kakaí ni,+ he ʻoku nau mālohi ange ʻiate au. Mahalo pē ʻe lava ke u ikunaʻi ai kinautolu pea kapusi kinautolu mei he fonuá, he ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi lelei ko e tokotaha ʻokú ke tāpuakiʻí ʻe faitāpuekina ia pea ko e tokotaha ʻokú ke talatukiʻí ʻe malaʻia ia.”
7 Ko ia naʻe fononga ʻa e kau mātuʻa ʻo Mōapé mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo Mitianí mo nau toʻo ʻa e totongi ki he talatukí* pea nau ō kia Pēlami+ ʻo fakahoko kiate ia ʻa e fekau ʻa Pēlakí. 8 Naʻá ne pehē ange leva kiate kinautolu: “Mou mohe heni he poó ni, pea ʻilonga ha lea ʻe folofolaʻaki mai ʻe Sihova kiate au te u fakahoko atu ia kiate kimoutolu.” Ko ia naʻe nofo ʻa e kau māʻolunga ʻo Mōapé mo Pēlami.
9 Naʻe hāʻele hifo leva ʻa e ʻOtuá kia Pēlami ʻo ne folofola:+ “Ko hai ʻa e kau tangata ko eni ʻoku ʻiate koé?” 10 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Pēlami ki he ʻOtua moʻoní: “Ko Pēlaki ko e foha ʻo Sīpoa, ko e tuʻi ʻo Mōapé, kuó ne fai mai ha fekau kiate au, ʻo pehē, 11 ‘Vakai! Ko e kakai ko ia ʻoku nau haʻu mei ʻIsipité ʻoku nau ʻufiʻufi ʻa e funga ʻo e māmaní.* Ko eni ke ke haʻu ʻo fai maʻaku hano talatukiʻi kinautolu.+ Mahalo pē ʻe lava ke u tauʻi ai kinautolu pea kapusi kinautolu.’” 12 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtuá kia Pēlami: “Kuo pau ke ʻoua naʻá ke ʻalu mo kinautolu. Kuo pau ke ʻoua naʻá ke talatukiʻi ʻa e kakaí, he ʻoku faitāpuekina+ kinautolu.”
13 Naʻe tuʻu pongipongi hake ʻa Pēlami ʻo ne pehē ki he kau māʻolunga ʻa Pēlakí: “Mou foki ki homou fonuá, he kuo fakafisi ʻa Sihova ke tuku au ke u ʻalu mo kimoutolu.” 14 Ko ia naʻe mavahe ʻa e kau māʻolunga ʻo Mōapé ʻo nau foki kia Pēlaki pea nau pehē: “Kuo fakafisi ʻa Pēlami ke haʻu mo kimautolu.”
15 Kae kehe, naʻe toe fekauʻi atu ʻe Pēlaki ʻa e kau māʻolunga naʻe toe tokolahi ange mo tuʻu-ki-muʻa ange ʻi he ʻuluaki kulupú. 16 Naʻa nau ʻalu atu kia Pēlami ʻo nau pehē kiate ia: “Ko e lea eni ʻa Pēlaki ko e foha ʻo Sīpoá, ‘ʻOua muʻa ʻe tuku ha meʻa ke ne taʻofi koe mei hoʻo haʻu kiate aú, 17 he te u fakalāngilangiʻi lahi koe pea te u fai ha meʻa pē te ke tala mai ke u fai. Ko ia ke ke haʻu muʻa ʻo fai maʻaku hano talatukiʻi ʻo e kakaí ni.’” 18 Ka naʻe tali ange ʻe Pēlami ki he kau sevāniti ʻa Pēlakí: “Kapau ʻe foaki mai ʻe Pēlaki ʻa hono fale ʻoku fonu ʻi he silivá mo e koulá, heʻikai pē lava ke u fai ʻe au ha meʻa ʻo kehe ia mei he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa Sihova ko hoku ʻOtuá, tatau ai pē pe ko ha meʻa siʻi pe lahi.+ 19 Ka mou toe nofo mai muʻa heni he poó ni, koeʻuhí ke u sio pe ko e hā ha toe meʻa ʻe tala mai ʻe Sihova kiate au.”+
20 Naʻe hāʻele hifo leva ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he poʻulí kia Pēlami ʻo ne folofola kiate ia: “Kapau ko e haʻu ʻa e kau tangatá ni ke fekau koe ke ke ʻalu ange, ʻalu mo kinautolu. Ka te ke leaʻaki pē ʻa e ngaahi lea te u tala atu ke ke leaʻakí.”+ 21 Ko ia naʻe tuʻu pongipongi hake ʻa Pēlami ʻo ne teuteu ʻene ʻasí* peá ne ʻalu atu mo e kau māʻolunga ʻo Mōapé.+
22 Ka naʻe kakaha ʻa e houhau ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻene ʻalú, pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa e ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová ʻi he halá ke taʻofi ia. ʻI he taimi ko ení naʻe heka atu ʻa Pēlami ʻi heʻene ʻasí, pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ha toko ua ʻo hono kau tauhí. 23 Pea ʻi he sio ʻa e ʻasí ki he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he halá ʻokú ne toʻo ha heletā kuo unuhi, naʻá ne feinga ke afe mei he halá ki he vaó. Ka naʻe kamata ke tā ʻe Pēlami ʻa e ʻasí ke ne foki ki he halá. 24 Naʻe tuʻu leva ʻa e ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová ʻi ha kiʻi hala fāsiʻi ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ha ongo ngoue kālepi, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻā maka ʻa e ongo tafaʻakí fakatouʻosi. 25 ʻI he sio ʻa e ʻasí ki he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová, naʻe kamata ke ne fakafaʻaki atu ia ki he ʻaá pea naʻe ʻefihia ai ʻa e vaʻe ʻo Pēlamí ʻi he ʻaá, pea naʻe kamata ke toe tā ia ʻe Pēlami.
26 Naʻe toe fakalaka hake leva ʻa e ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi ha potu fāsiʻi ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai lava ha afe ai ki he toʻomataʻú pe ko e toʻohemá. 27 ʻI he sio ʻa e ʻasí ki he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová, naʻá ne tokoto ki lalo lolotonga ʻoku kei heka pē ai ʻa Pēlami, ko ia naʻe hoko ʻo tōlili ʻa Pēlami ʻo ne hanganaki tā ʻa e ʻasí ʻaki hono tokotokó. 28 Naʻe faifai atu pē ʻo hanga ʻe Sihova ʻo ʻai ʻa e ʻasí ke lea,*+ peá ne pehē kia Pēlami: “Ko e hā kuó u fai kiate koe ke ke tā ai au ʻo tuʻo tolú ni?”+ 29 Naʻe tali ange ʻe Pēlami ki he ʻasí: “Koeʻuhí kuó ke fakangalivaleʻi au. Kapau naʻe ʻi ai ha heletā ʻi hoku nimá, naʻá ku tāmateʻi koe!” 30 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe he ʻasí kia Pēlami: “ʻIkai ko hoʻo ʻasi au kuó ke heka ai ʻi he kotoa hoʻo moʻuí ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ní? Kuó u teitei fai peheni kiate koe ki muʻa?” Naʻá ne tali ange: “ʻIkai!” 31 Naʻe fakaʻā leva ʻe Sihova ʻa e mata ʻo Pēlamí,+ peá ne sio ki he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he halá ʻokú ne toʻo ha heletā kuo unuhi. Naʻá ne punou hifo leva ʻo ne fakatōmapeʻe.
32 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová kiate ia: “Ko e hā kuó ke tā tuʻo tolú ni hake ai pē ʻa hoʻo ʻasí? Vakai! Naʻá ku haʻu tonu ke taʻofi koe, koeʻuhí ko ho halá ʻoku fakafetau ia ki he meʻa ʻoku ou loto ki aí.+ 33 Naʻe sio ʻa e ʻasí kiate au ʻo ne feinga ai ko eni ke afe tuʻo tolu meiate aú. Pehē pē naʻe ʻikai te ne afe meiate au!+ Ne mei peheni haʻaku tāmateʻi ʻe au koe kae tuku ʻa e ʻasí ke moʻui.” 34 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Pēlami ki he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová: “Kuó u faiangahala, koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ko koe ia naʻá ke tuʻu ʻi he halá ke fakafetaulaki kiate aú. Pea ko eni kapau ʻoku kovi ʻi hoʻo vakaí, te u foki au.” 35 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová kia Pēlami: “ʻAlu mo e kau tangatá, ka te ke leaʻaki pē ʻa e ngaahi lea te u tala kiate koé.” Ko ia naʻe hoko atu ʻa e fononga ʻa Pēlami mo e kau māʻolunga ʻa Pēlakí.
36 ʻI he fanongo ʻa Pēlaki kuo haʻu ʻa Pēlamí, naʻá ne ʻalu atu he taimi pē ko iá ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia ʻi he kolo ʻo Mōape, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi he veʻe teleʻa ʻAlanoní ʻi he kauʻāfonua ʻo e feituʻú. 37 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Pēlaki kia Pēlami: “ʻIkai naʻá ku fekau atu ke ke haʻu? Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai te ke haʻu ai kiate aú? Naʻá ke fakakaukau koe heʻikai lava ke u fakalāngilangiʻi lahi koe?”+ 38 Naʻe tali ange ʻe Pēlami kia Pēlaki: “Ko eni kuó u haʻu kiate koe he taimí ni. Ka ʻe fakaʻatā koā au ke u leaʻaki ha meʻa? Te u leaʻaki pē ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻe ʻai ʻe he ʻOtuá ki hoku ngutú.”+
39 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Pēlami mo Pēlaki ʻo na aʻu ki Kiliate-husoti. 40 Naʻe feilaulauʻaki ʻe Pēlaki ha fanga pulu mo e fanga sipi pea ʻoatu ha meʻa mei ai kia Pēlami pea mo e kau māʻolunga naʻe ʻiate iá. 41 ʻI he pongipongi haké naʻe ʻave ʻe Pēlaki ʻa Pēlami ʻo ne ʻohake ia ki Pāmoti-pēali; naʻe lava ke ne sio mei ai ki he kakaí kotoa.+
