4 Pea naʻe mohe* ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi ko hono uaifí, pea naʻá ne hoko ʻo feitama.+ ʻI heʻene fāʻeleʻi ʻa Keiní,+ naʻá ne pehē: “Kuó u fāʻeleʻi ha tama tangata ʻi he tokoni ʻa Sihová.” 2 Ki mui ai, naʻá ne toe fāʻele, ʻo maʻu ai ʻa hono tokoua ko ʻĒpeli.+

Naʻe hoko ʻa ʻĒpeli ko e tokotaha naʻá ne tauhi ha fanga sipi, ka naʻe hoko ʻa Keini ko e tokotaha naʻá ne ngoueʻi ʻa e kelekelé. 3 ʻI he hili atu ha taimi, naʻe ʻomi ai ʻe Keini ha ngaahi fua ʻo e kelekelé ko haʻane foaki ia kia Sihova. 4 Ka naʻe ʻomi ʻe ʻĒpeli ʻa e ʻuluaki ngaahi ʻuhiki tangata ʻo ʻene tākangá,+ ʻo kau ai ʻa honau ngakó. Lolotonga naʻe hōifua hifo ʻa Sihova kia ʻĒpeli pea ki heʻene foakí,+ 5 naʻe ʻikai te ne teitei hōifua hifo kia Keini pea ki heʻene foakí. Ko ia naʻe ʻita lahi ʻaupito ʻa Keini peá ne loto-mamahi.* 6 Naʻe folofola leva ʻa Sihova kia Keini: “Ko e hā ʻokú ke ʻita lahi ai mo loto-mamahí? 7 Kapau te ke tafoki ʻo failelei, ʻikai te ke toe maʻu ai ʻa e hōifuá?* Ka ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke tafoki ʻo failelei, ʻoku toitoi mai ʻa angahala ʻi he matapaá, pea ko ʻene holí ke pule kiate koe; ka te ke lava ʻo puleʻi ia?”

8 ʻI he hili iá, naʻe pehē ʻe Keini kia ʻĒpeli ko hono tokouá: “Ta ō ki he ngoué.” Ko ia lolotonga ʻena ʻi he ngoué, naʻe ʻohofi ʻe Keini ʻa ʻĒpeli ko hono tokouá ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia.+ 9 Ki mui ai, naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Keini: “Ko fē ʻa ʻĒpeli ko ho tokouá?” Pea naʻá ne pehē: “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo. He ko e tauhi koā au ʻo hoku tokouá?” 10 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻá Ne folofola: “Ko e hā kuó ke faí? Fanongo angé! Ko e toto ē ʻo ho tokouá ʻoku tangi hake kiate au mei he kelekelé.+ 11 Pea ko eni ko e malaʻia koe pea kuo kapusi koe mei he kelekelé ʻa ia kuo fakamanga hake hono ngutú ke tali ʻa e toto ʻo ho tokouá mei ho nimá.+ 12 ʻI hoʻo ngoueʻi ʻa e kelekelé, ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻoatu kiate koe hono fuá.* Te ke hoko ko ha tokotaha hikihiki holo mo ha tokotaha hola holo ʻi he māmaní.” 13 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ʻe Keini kia Sihova: “Ko e tautea ki heʻeku faihalá ʻoku fuʻu lahi ia ke u fua. 14 ʻI he ʻahó ni kuó ke kapusi au mei he kelekelé, pea te u puli mei ho fofongá; pea te u hoko ko ha tokotaha hikihiki holo mo ha tokotaha hola holo ʻi he māmaní, pea ʻilonga ha taha te ne maʻu au ko e moʻoni te ne tāmateʻi au.” 15 Ko ia naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia: “ʻI he ʻuhinga ko iá, ʻilonga ha taha te ne tāmateʻi ʻa Keini te ne fuesia ha sāuni ʻo liunga fitu.”

Ko ia naʻe tuʻutuʻuni* ʻe Sihova ha fakaʻilonga moʻo Keini koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa taaʻi ia ʻe ha taha ʻi haʻane maʻu ia. 16 Naʻe ʻalu atu leva ʻa Keini mei he ʻao ʻo Sihová ʻo ne nofo ʻi he fonua ko Notí* ki he hahake ʻo ʻĪtení.+

17 ʻI he hili iá, naʻe mohe ʻa Keini mo hono uaifí,+ pea naʻá ne hoko ʻo feitama ʻo ne fāʻeleʻi ʻa ʻĪnoke. Naʻe langa leva ʻe Keini ha kolo peá ne fakahingoa ʻa e koló ki hono foha ko ʻĪnoké. 18 Ki mui ai, naʻe fanauʻi kia ʻĪnoke ʻa ʻĪlati. Pea naʻe hoko ʻa ʻĪlati ko e tamai ia ʻa Mehusaeli, pea naʻe hoko ʻa Mehusaeli ko e tamai ia ʻa Mētuisaeli, pea naʻe hoko ʻa Mētuisaeli ko e tamai ia ʻa Lēmeki.

19 Naʻe maʻu ʻe Lēmeki ha ongo uaifi moʻona. Ko e hingoa ʻo e ʻuluakí ko Ata, pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono uá ko Silā. 20 Naʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻe Ata ʻa Siapale. Ko ia ʻa e tupuʻanga ʻo e kau nofo tēnití mo hono tauhi ʻo e fanga manú. 21 Ko e hingoa ʻo hono tokouá ko Siupale. Ko ia ʻa e tupuʻanga ʻo kinautolu kotoa ʻoku tā haʻape mo ifi paipá.* 22 Pehē foki, naʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻe Silā ʻa Tupale-keini, ʻa ia naʻá ne tuki ʻa e faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo e meʻangāue kopá mo e ukameá. Pea ko e tuofefine ʻo Tupale-keiní ko Naama. 23 Naʻe faʻu leva ʻe Lēmeki ʻa e ngaahi lea ko ení ki hono ongo uaifi ko Ata mo Silaá:

25 Naʻe toe mohe ʻa ʻĀtama mo hono uaifí, pea naʻá ne fāʻeleʻi ha tama tangata. Naʻe fakahingoa ia ʻe ʻIvi ko Seti,*+ koeʻuhí hangē ko ia naʻá ne leaʻakí, “Kuo ʻomai ʻe he ʻOtuá kiate au ha hako ʻe taha ko e fetongi ʻo ʻĒpeli, koeʻuhi naʻe tāmateʻi ia+ ʻe Keini.” 26 Naʻe fanauʻi foki kia Seti ha foha, pea naʻá ne fakahingoa ia ko ʻĪnosi.+ ʻI he taimi ko iá naʻe kamata ke ui ai ʻa e kakaí ki he huafa ʻo Sihová.
