Fakamaau
4 Ka ʻi he hili ʻa e mate ʻa ʻĒhutí, naʻe toe fai ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí ʻa e meʻa naʻe kovi ʻi he vakai ʻa Sihová.+ 2 Ko ia naʻe fakatau kinautolu ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻo Siapini ko e tuʻi ʻo Kēnaní,+ ʻa ia naʻe pule ʻi Hāsoá. Ko e ʻeiki ʻo ʻene kau taú ko Sīsela, ʻa ia naʻe nofo ʻi Haloseti+ ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá.* 3 Naʻe tangi ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí kia Sihova,+ koeʻuhi naʻe maʻu ʻe Siapini* ʻa e ngaahi saliote tau mataʻi-hele ukamea*+ ʻe 900, pea naʻá ne fakaaoao anga-fefeka ki he kau ʻIsilelí+ ʻi he taʻu ʻe 20.
4 Pea ko Tēpola, ko ha palōfita fefine,+ ko e uaifi ʻo Lapitotí, naʻe faifakamaau ʻi ʻIsileli ʻi he taimi ko iá. 5 Naʻá ne faʻa tangutu ʻi he lalo paame ʻo Tēpolá ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Lama+ mo Pētelí+ ʻi he feituʻu moʻungaʻia ʻo ʻIfalemí; naʻe māʻunga ʻalu kiate ia ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ki ha fakamaau. 6 Naʻá ne fai atu ha fekau kia Pēlake+ ko e foha ʻo ʻApinoamí ke haʻu mei Kētesi-nafitalai+ peá ne pehē kiate ia: “ʻIkai kuo fai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻa e fekaú ni? ‘ʻAlu pea laka atu ki* Moʻunga Tēpoa, peá ke ʻalu mo ha kau tangata ʻe toko 10,000 ʻo Nafitalai mo Sepuloni. 7 Te u ʻoatu kiate koe ʻa Sīsela, ʻa e ʻeiki ʻo e kau tau ʻa Siapiní, fakataha mo ʻene ngaahi saliote taú pea mo ʻene kau taú ki he vaitafe* Kīsoní,+ pea te u tuku atu ia ki ho nimá.’”+
8 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ange ai ʻe Pēlake kiate ia: “Kapau te ke ʻalu mo au, te u ʻalu, ka ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻalu mo au, ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu.” 9 Ko ia naʻá ne pehē ange: “Ko e moʻoni te u ʻalu mo koe. Kae kehe, ko e feingatau ʻokú ke ʻalu aí ʻe ʻikai fakahīkihikiʻi ai koe, he ko e nima ʻo ha fefine ʻe tuku ki ai ʻe Sihova ʻa Sīselá.”+ Ko ia naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tēpola ʻo ne ʻalu mo Pēlake ki Kētesi.+ 10 Naʻe ui ʻe Pēlake ʻa Sepuloni mo Nafitalai+ ke nau haʻu ki Kētesi, pea naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ha kau tangata ʻe toko 10,000. Naʻe ʻalu atu foki mo ia ʻa Tēpola.
11 Kae kehe, ko Hepa ko e Kēnaí naʻe mavahe ia mei he kau Kēnaí,+ ʻa e hako ʻo Hōpapi, ko e tamai ʻa e mali ʻo Mōsesé,+ pea naʻe fokotuʻu hono tēnití ʻo ofi ki he fuʻu ʻakau ʻi Sananimi, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi Kētesí.
12 Naʻa nau fakahā kia Sīsela ko Pēlake ē ko e foha ʻo ʻApinoamí kuó ne ʻalu hake ki Moʻunga Tēpoa.+ 13 Naʻe fakatahatahaʻi leva ʻe Sīsela ʻa ʻene ngaahi saliote taú kotoa—ko e saliote mataʻi-hele ukamea* ʻe 900—pea mo e kau tau kotoa naʻe ʻiate ia mei Haloseti ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá ke nau ʻalu atu ki he vaitafe* Kīsoní.+ 14 Naʻe pehē leva ʻe Tēpola kia Pēlake: “Tuʻu hake, he ko e ʻaho eni ʻe tuku atu ai ʻe Sihova ʻa Sīsela ki ho nimá. ʻIkai ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻa Sihova ʻiate koe?” Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Pēlake mei Moʻunga Tēpoa mo e kau tangata ʻe toko 10,000 naʻe muimui ʻiate iá. 15 Naʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ʻa Sīsela mo e kotoa ʻene ngaahi saliote taú pea mo e kau taú kotoa ke nau puputuʻu+ ʻi he ʻao ʻo Pēlake mo ʻene heletaá. Faifai atu pē naʻe hifo ʻa Sīsela mei heʻene salioté ʻo ne hola lalo atu. 16 Naʻe tulimui atu ʻa Pēlake ʻi he ngaahi saliote taú mo e kau taú ʻo aʻu ki Haloseti ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá. Ko ia naʻe tō ʻa e kau tau kotoa ʻa Sīselá ʻi he heletaá; naʻe ʻikai naʻa mo ha foʻi toko taha ʻe toe.+
17 Ka naʻe hola lalo ʻa Sīsela ki he tēniti ʻo Siaili+ ko e uaifi ʻo Hepa+ ko e Kēnaí, he naʻe melino ʻa e vā ʻo Siapini+ ko e tuʻi ʻo Hāsoá pea mo e fale ʻo Hepa ko e Kēnaí. 18 Naʻe hū leva ki tuʻa ʻa Siaili ke fakafetaulaki kia Sīsela peá ne pehē kiate ia: “Hū mai, ʻe hoku ʻeiki, hū mai ki heni. ʻOua te ke ilifia.” Ko ia naʻá ne hū ki hono tēnití, pea naʻá ne fakakafuʻi ia. 19 Naʻá ne pehē ange leva ki he fefiné: “ʻOmi muʻa ha meʻi vai ke u inu, he ʻoku ou fieinua.” Ko ia naʻá ne fakaava ha hina kiliʻimanu ʻoku ʻi ai ha huʻakau peá ne ʻoange kiate ia hano inu,+ ʻi he hili iá naʻá ne toe fakakafuʻi ia. 20 Naʻá ne tala ange ki he fefiné: “Tuʻu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻo e tēnití, pea kapau ʻe haʻu ha taha ʻo ʻeke atu kiate koe, ‘ʻOku ʻi ai ha tangata heni?’ Peá ke pehē ange, ‘ʻIkai!’”
21 Ka naʻe toʻo ʻe Siaili ko e uaifi ʻo Hepá ha pine tēniti mo ha hāmala ʻi hono nimá. Pea ʻi he lolotonga ʻene māʻumohé pea kuó ne ongosia, naʻá ne tolotolo atu kiate ia ʻo ne tukiʻi ʻa e piné ʻi hono manifí ʻo ʻasi ki he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá pea tukiʻi ia ki he kelekelé ʻo ne mate.+
22 Naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Pēlake ki ai ʻi heʻene tulimui kia Sīselá, pea naʻe hū ki tuʻa ʻa Siaili ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia ʻo ne pehē: “Haʻu pea te u fakahā atu kiate koe ʻa e tangata ʻokú ke kumi ki aí.” Naʻá ne hū atu mo ia ʻo ne sio ʻoku tokoto mai ʻa Sīsela kuo mate, fakataha mo e pine tēnití ʻi hono manifí.
23 Ko ia naʻe fakavaivaiʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi he ʻaho ko iá ʻa Siapini ko e tuʻi ʻo Kēnaní ʻi he ʻao ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí.+ 24 Naʻe fakaʻau ke toe mālohi ange ʻa e nima ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí ʻi heʻenau faitau kia Siapini ko e tuʻi ʻo Kēnaní,+ kae ʻoua kuo nau fakaʻauha ʻa Siapini ko e tuʻi ʻo Kēnaní.+
