36 Pea ko eni ʻi he taʻu hono fā ʻo e pule ʻa Sihoiakimi+ ko e foha ʻo Siosaia, ko e tuʻi ʻo Siutá, naʻe hoko mai ai kia Selemaia ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē: 2 “Toʻo ha takainga tohi* pea hiki ai ʻa e ngaahi lea kotoa kuó u leaʻaki kiate koe ʻo fekauʻaki mo ʻIsileli mo Siuta+ pea mo e kotoa ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá,+ mei he ʻuluaki ʻaho naʻá ku lea ai kiate koe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Siosaiá ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻahó ni.+ 3 Mahalo pē ʻi he taimi ʻe fanongo ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e fale ʻo Siutá ki he faingataʻa kotoa ʻoku ou fakakaukau ke ʻomi kiate kinautolú, te nau tafoki nai ai mei honau ngaahi ʻalunga koví, ko ia ʻe lava ke u fakamolemoleʻi ʻenau faihalá pea mo ʻenau angahalá.”+

4 Naʻe ui leva ʻe Selemaia ʻa Paluki+ ko e foha ʻo Nelaiá, pea naʻe lau ange ʻe Selemaia ka ne tohi ʻa e ngaahi lea kotoa naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate iá, pea naʻe hiki ia ʻe Paluki ʻi ha takainga tohi.*+ 5 Pea naʻe tuʻutuʻuni leva ʻa Selemaia kia Paluki: “ʻOku tauhi pōpula au pea ʻoku ʻikai te u lava ʻo hū ki he fale ʻo Sihová. 6 Ko ia ko koe ʻa e tokotaha kuo pau ke ke hū ʻo lau leʻo-lahi ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihová mei he takainga tohi naʻá ku lau atu ʻo ke hikí. Lau ia ke fanongo ki ai ʻa e kakaí ʻi he fale ʻo Sihová ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ha ʻaukai; ko ia te ke lau ia ki he kakai kotoa ʻo Siuta naʻa nau haʻu mei honau ngaahi koló. 7 ʻE aʻu nai ai kia Sihova ʻa ʻenau kole ki ha hōifuá, pea te nau foki mai, ʻa e tokotaha taki taha mei hono ngaahi ʻalunga kovi, he ʻoku lahi ʻa e tuputāmaki mo e houhau kuo fakahaaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻe hoko ki he kakaí ni.”

8 Ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Paluki ko e foha ʻo Nelaiá ʻa e meʻa kotoa naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ange ʻe he palōfita ko Selemaiá kiate iá; naʻá ne lau leʻo-lahi mei he takainga tohí* ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihová ʻi he fale ʻo Sihová.+

9 Ko eni ʻi he taʻu hono nima ʻo e pule ʻa Sihoiakimi+ ko e foha ʻo Siosaiá, ʻa e tuʻi ʻo Siutá, ʻi he māhina hono hivá, ko e kakai kotoa ʻi Selusalemá mo e kakai kotoa naʻa nau haʻu ki Selusalema mei he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siutá naʻa nau fanongonongo ha ʻaukai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová.+ 10 Naʻe lau leʻo-lahi leva ʻe Paluki mei he takainga tohí* ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Selemaiá ʻi he fale ʻo Sihová, ʻi he loki* ʻo Kemalaia+ ko e foha ʻo Sāfani+ ko e tokotaha hiki-tataú,* ʻi he lotoʻā ʻi ʻolungá, ʻi he hūʻanga ʻo e matapā foʻou ʻo e fale ʻo Sihová,+ ʻo fanongo ki ai ʻa e kakaí kotoa.

11 ʻI he fanongo ʻa Maikaia ko e foha ʻo Kemalaia ko e foha ʻo Sāfaní ki he kotoa ʻo e folofola ʻa Sihová mei he takainga tohí,* 12 naʻá ne ʻalu hifo ki he fale* ʻo e tuʻí, ki he loki ʻo e sekelitalí. Naʻe tangutu kotoa ai ʻa e kau houʻeikí:* Ko ʻElisama+ ko e sekelitalí, Telaia ko e foha ʻo Semaiá, ʻElinatani+ ko e foha ʻo ʻAkepoá,+ Kemalaia ko e foha ʻo Sāfaní, Setekaia ko e foha ʻo Henaniá, pea mo e kotoa ʻo e kau houʻeiki kehé. 13 Naʻe tala ange ʻe Maikaia kiate kinautolu ʻa e lea kotoa naʻá ne fanongo ki aí ʻi he taimi naʻe lau ai ʻe Paluki mei he takainga tohí* ʻo fanongo ki ai ʻa e kakaí.

14 Naʻe fekauʻi atu leva ʻe he kotoa ʻo e kau houʻeikí ʻa Sehuti ko e foha ʻo Nētanaia ko e foha ʻo Selemia ko e foha ʻo Kasí kia Paluki, ʻo pehē: “Haʻu peá ke toʻo mai ʻa e takainga tohi ʻa ia naʻá ke lau ʻo fanongo ki ai ʻa e kakaí.” Naʻe toʻo ʻe Paluki ko e foha ʻo Nelaiá ʻa e takainga tohí ʻi hono nimá peá ne hū atu kiate kinautolu. 15 Naʻa nau pehē ange kiate ia: “Kātaki ʻo tangutu hifo, peá ke lau leʻo-lahi mai ia kiate kimautolu.” Ko ia naʻe lau ia ʻe Paluki kiate kinautolu.

16 ʻI he hili pē ko ia ʻenau fanongo ki he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi leá ni, naʻa nau fesiofaki ʻi he ilifia, pea naʻa nau pehē kia Paluki: “Kuo pau moʻoni ke mau fakahā ki he tuʻí ʻa e kotoa ʻo e ngaahi leá ni.” 17 Pea naʻa nau ʻeke ange kia Paluki: “Tala mai muʻa kiate kimautolu, pe naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa hoʻo hiki ʻa e kotoa ʻo e ngaahi leá ni. Naʻá ne lau atu ia ka ke hiki?” 18 Naʻe tali ange ʻe Paluki kiate kinautolu: “Naʻá ne lau mai ʻa e ngaahi leá ni kotoa kiate au, pea naʻá ku hiki ia ʻaki ʻa e vaitohi ʻi he takainga tohi* ko ení.” 19 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he kau houʻeikí kia Paluki: “Mo ō ʻo toi, ʻa koe mo Selemaia, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke ʻilo ʻe ha taha ʻa e feituʻu ʻokú mo ʻi aí.”+

20 Naʻa nau hū atu leva ki he tuʻí, ki he lotoʻaá, ʻo tuku ʻa e takainga tohí ʻi he loki ʻo ʻElisama ko e sekelitalí, pea naʻa nau fakahā ki he tuʻí ʻa e meʻa kotoa naʻa nau fanongo ki aí.

21 Ko ia naʻe fekauʻi atu ʻe he tuʻí ʻa Sehuti+ ke ʻomi ʻa e takainga tohí, pea naʻá ne ʻomi ia mei he loki ʻo ʻElisama ko e sekelitalí. Naʻe kamata ke lau ia ʻe Sehuti ʻo fanongo ki ai ʻa e tuʻí mo e kau houʻeiki kotoa naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo e tuʻí. 22 Naʻe ʻafio ʻa e tuʻí ʻi hono fale ki he faʻahitaʻu momokó, ʻi he māhina hono hivá,* pea naʻe ʻi hono ʻaó ha afi ʻoku ulo ʻi hono tuʻuʻangá. 23 ʻI he hili hono lau ʻe Sehuti ha ʻotu ʻe tolu pe fā, naʻe tuʻusi ʻe he tuʻí ʻa e konga ko iá ʻaki ʻa e hele ʻa e sekelitalí pea lī ia ki he afi naʻe ulo ʻi hono tuʻuʻangá, kae ʻoua kuo ʻosi kotoa ʻa e takainga tohí ki he tuʻuʻanga afí. 24 Pea naʻe ʻikai haʻanau ongoʻi ilifia; ʻo aʻu ki he tuʻí mo ʻene kau sevāniti kotoa naʻa nau fanongo ki he ngaahi leá ni, naʻe ʻikai te nau hae honau kofú. 25 Neongo ʻa e kōlenga ʻa ʻElinatani,+ Telaia,+ mo Kemalaia+ ki he tuʻí ke ʻoua te ne tutu ʻa e takainga tohí, naʻe ʻikai te ne fanongo kiate kinautolu. 26 ʻIkai ko ia pē, naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he tuʻí kia Selamili ko e foha ʻo e tuʻí, Sēlaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAsililí, mo Selemia ko e foha ʻo ʻApitilí ke nau puke ʻa e sekelitali ko Palukí mo e palōfita ko Selemaiá, ka naʻe tauhi ʻo fufū kinaua ʻe Sihova.+

27 Pea naʻe toe hoko mai kia Selemaia ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihová ʻi he hili hono tutu ʻe he tuʻí ʻa e takainga tohi naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi lea naʻe hiki ʻe Paluki ʻi hono lau ange ʻe Selemaiá,+ ʻo pehē: 28 “Toʻo ha takainga tohi ʻe taha ʻo hiki ai hono kotoa ʻa e ngaahi lea tatau tofu pē mo ia naʻe ʻi he ʻuluaki takainga tohí, ʻa ia naʻe tutu ʻe tuʻi Sihoiakimi ʻo Siutá.+ 29 Pea te ke lea kia Tuʻi Sihoiakimi ʻo Siutá, ‘Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihová: “Kuó ke tutu ʻa e takainga tohí ni peá ke pehē, ‘Ko e hā kuó ke tohi ai ʻi ai: “Ko e tuʻi ʻo Pāpiloné ʻe haʻu moʻoni ʻo fakaʻauha ʻa e fonuá ni pea fakakaʻanga mei ai ʻa e tangatá mo e manú”?’+ 30 Ko ia ai, ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kia Tuʻi Sihoiakimi ʻo Siutá, ‘ʻE ʻikai ha taha meiate ia ʻe nofo ʻi he taloni ʻo Tēvitá,+ pea ʻe liʻaki hono ʻangaʻangá ʻi he vela ʻa e ʻahó mo e momoko ʻi he poʻulí.+ 31 Te u ui ia mo hono hakó mo ʻene kau sevānití ke nau fai ha fakamatala ʻo fekauʻaki mo ʻenau faihalá, pea te u ʻomi kiate kinautolu pea ki he kakai ʻo Selusalemá pea ki he kau tangata ʻo Siutá ʻa e faingataʻa kotoa kuó u leaʻaki kiate kinautolú,+ ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo.’”’”+

32 Naʻe toʻo leva ʻe Selemaia ha takainga tohi ʻe taha ʻo ʻoange kia Paluki ko e foha ʻo Nelaiá, ʻa e sekelitalí,+ pea ko e lea naʻe lau ange ʻe Selemaiá naʻá ne hiki ai ʻa e ngaahi lea kotoa ʻo e takainga tohi* ʻa ia naʻe tutu ʻe Tuʻi Sihoiakimi ʻo Siutá ʻi he afí.+ Pea naʻe tānaki atu ki ai mo e ngaahi lea lahi ange hangē pē ko iá.
