2 ʻI he taʻu hono ua ʻo e tuʻi ʻa Nepukanesá, naʻá ne faʻa misi ai, pea naʻá ne* mātuʻaki hohaʻatuʻu+ ʻo ʻikai lava ai ke ne mohe. 2 Ko ia naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ai ʻa e tuʻí ke ʻomai ʻa e kau taulaʻeiki faimaná, ko e kau kikité, ko e kau faifakalouʻakaú, mo e kau Kalitiá* ke nau fakahā ki he tuʻí ʻa ʻene misí. Ko ia naʻa nau hū atu ai ʻo tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo e tuʻí.+ 3 Naʻe folofola ange leva ʻa e tuʻí kiate kinautolu: “Naʻe ʻi ai ʻeku misi, pea ʻoku ou* hohaʻatuʻu koeʻuhí ʻoku ou loto ke ʻilo ʻa e meʻa naʻá ku misi ki aí.” 4 Naʻe tali ange ʻa e kau Kalitiá ki he tuʻí ʻi he lea faka-Alameá:*+ “ʻE hoʻo ʻAfio, ʻofa ke ke lākoifie ʻo taʻengata. Fakamatala mai ʻa e misí ki hoʻo kau sevānití, pea te mau tala atu ʻa hono ʻuhingá.”

5 Naʻe tali ange ʻe he tuʻí ki he kau Kalitiá: “Ko ʻeku lea aofangatukú eni: Kapau heʻikai te mou ʻai ke u ʻilo ʻa ʻeku misí, fakataha mo hono ʻuhingá, ʻe tuʻutuʻu kongokonga kimoutolu, pea ʻe fulihi homou ngaahi falé ke hoko ko e ngaahi fale mālōlō ki he kakaí.* 6 Ka ʻo kapau te mou tala mai ʻa e misí mo hono ʻuhingá, te mou maʻu meiate au ha ngaahi meʻaʻofa mo ha pale mo ha lāngilangi lahi.+ Ko ia mou tala mai angé ʻa e misí mo hono ʻuhingá.”

7 Naʻa nau tali ange ko hono tuʻo uá ia: “Tuku ke fakamatalaʻi mai ʻe he tuʻí ʻa e misí ki heʻene kau sevānití, pea te mau tala atu ʻa hono ʻuhingá.”

8 Naʻe tali ange ʻe he tuʻí: “ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi lelei ʻoku mou feinga ke tolotoloi hano fai atu ha meʻa kiate kimoutolu, he ʻoku mou ʻosi ʻiloʻi ʻa ʻeku lea aofangatukú. 9 Kapau heʻikai te mou fakaʻilo mai kiate au ʻa e misí, ʻoku taha pē ʻa e tautea ʻe fai kiate kimoutolú hono kotoa. Ka kuo mou felotoi ke tala mai kiate au ha loi mo e kākā ʻi he ʻamanaki ʻe liliu ʻa ʻeku fakakaukaú. Ko ia mou tala mai ʻa e misí, pea te u ʻilo ai ʻoku lava ke mou fakamatalaʻi ʻa hono ʻuhingá.”

10 Naʻe tali ange ʻe he kau Kalitiá ki he tuʻí: “ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata ʻi he māmaní* ʻe malava ke ne fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku kounaʻi ʻe he tuʻí, he ʻoku ʻikai ha tuʻi lahi pe ko ha kōvana kuó ne kole ha meʻa pehē ki ha taulaʻeiki faimana pe tokotaha kikite pe ko ha Kalitia. 11 Ko e meʻa ʻoku kole ki ai ʻa e tuʻí ʻoku faingataʻa, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻe moʻui ʻe lava ke ne tala ʻa e meʻá ni ki he tuʻí tuku kehe pē ʻa e ngaahi ʻotuá, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai te nau nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e tangata ko e meʻa noa peé.”*

12 Naʻe houhau lahi ʻa e tuʻí ʻi he meʻá ni peá ne fai ha tuʻutuʻuni ke fakaʻauha ʻa e kau tangata poto kotoa pē ʻo Pāpiloné.+ 13 ʻI hono ʻoatu ʻa e tuʻutuʻuní pea teu ke tāmateʻi ʻa e kau tangata potó, naʻa nau kumi foki kia Taniela mo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá ke tāmateʻi mo kinautolu.

14 ʻI he taimi ko iá naʻe lea fakapotopoto mo fakaoloolo ai ʻa Taniela kia ʻAlioke ko e pule ʻo e kau kaʻate ʻa e tuʻí, ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu ke tāmateʻi ʻa e kau tangata poto ʻo Pāpiloné. 15 Naʻá ne ʻeke ange kia ʻAlioke ko e ʻōfisa ʻa e tuʻí: “Ko e hā ʻoku ʻomai ai ha tuʻutuʻuni fefeka pehē mei he tuʻí?” Naʻe fakamatala leva ʻa ʻAlioke kia Taniela ʻo fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni.+ 16 Ko ia naʻe hū atu ai ʻa Taniela ʻo kole ki he tuʻí ke tuku ange kiate ia ha taimi ke ne tala ange ai ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e misí ki he tuʻí.

17 Naʻe ʻalu leva ʻa Taniela ki hono falé ʻo fakahā ʻa e meʻá ni ki hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá, kia Henania, Misaeli, pea mo ʻAsalaia. 18 Naʻá ne kole ange kiate kinautolu ke nau lotu ʻo kole ki ha ʻaloʻofa mei he ʻOtua ʻo langí ʻo fekauʻaki mo e meʻa fakapulipuli ko ení, koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa fakaʻauha ʻa Taniela mo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá fakataha mo e toenga ʻo e kau tangata poto ʻo Pāpiloné.

19 Pea naʻe fakaeʻa ʻa e meʻa fakapulipulí kia Taniela ʻi ha vīsone ʻi he poʻulí.+ Ko ia naʻe fakahīkihikiʻi ai ʻe Taniela ʻa e ʻOtua ʻo langí. 20 Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Taniela:

24 Naʻe ʻalu leva ʻa Taniela kia ʻAlioke, ʻa ia naʻe vaheʻi ʻe he tuʻí ke ne fakaʻauha ʻa e kau poto ʻo Pāpiloné,+ peá ne pehē ange kiate ia: “ʻOua naʻá ke fakaʻauha ha taha pē ʻi he kau poto ʻo Pāpiloné. ʻAve au ki he ʻao ʻo e tuʻí, pea te u tala ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e misí ki he tuʻí.”

25 Naʻe ʻave fakavave ʻe ʻAlioke ʻa Taniela ki he ʻao ʻo e tuʻí peá ne pehē ange kiate ia: “Kuó u ʻilo ha tangata ʻi he faʻahinga naʻe ʻomi fakamālohi mei Siutá+ ʻa ia ʻe lava ke ne fakaʻilo ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e misí ki he tuʻí.” 26 Naʻe folofola ʻa e tuʻí kia Taniela, ʻa ia ko hono hingoá ko Pelitisasa:+ “ʻE lava moʻoni koā ke ke fakaʻilo mai kiate au ʻa e misi naʻá ku mamata ki aí, pea mo hono ʻuhingá?”+ 27 Naʻe tali ange ʻe Taniela ki he tuʻí: “ʻOku ʻikai ha taha ʻi he kau potó, ko e kau kikité, ko e kau taulaʻeiki faimaná, pe ko e kau vavalo ki he fetuʻú* ʻe malava ke ne tala ki he tuʻí ʻa e meʻa fakapulipuli ʻokú ne fiemaʻú.+ 28 Ka ʻoku ʻi ai ha ʻOtua ʻi he langí ʻa ia ko ha Tokotaha-Fakaeʻa ia ʻo e ngaahi meʻa fakapulipulí,+ pea kuó ne fakaʻilo kia Tuʻi Nepukanesa ʻa e meʻa ʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí. Ko hoʻo misí eni, pea ko e ngaahi vīsone eni naʻá ke mamata ki ai ʻi hoʻo tokoto ʻi ho mohengá:

29 “Ko e meʻa kiate koé, ʻe hoʻo ʻAfio, ʻi hoʻo ʻi ho mohengá naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa hoʻo fakakaukaú ki he meʻa ʻe hoko ʻi he kahaʻú, pea ko e Tokotaha-Fakaeʻa ʻo e ngaahi meʻa fakapulipulí kuó ne fakaʻilo kiate koe ʻa e meʻa ʻe hokó. 30 Ko e meʻa kiate aú, naʻe ʻikai ke fakaeʻa ʻa e meʻa fakapulipulí ni kiate au koeʻuhí ko haʻaku maʻu ha poto lahi ange ʻi ha toe taha pē ʻoku moʻui; ka koeʻuhí ke fakaʻilo ʻa e ʻuhingá ki he tuʻí koeʻuhí ke ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻa ia naʻá ke fakakaukau ʻo fekauʻaki mo iá.+

31 “Ko koé, ʻe hoʻo ʻAfio, naʻá ke moʻusioa, pea naʻá ke mamata ki ha fuʻu ʻīmisi lahi fakaʻulia. Ko e ʻīmisi ko iá, ʻa ia naʻe lahi fau mo mātuʻaki ngingila, naʻe tuʻu ia ʻi muʻa ʻiate koe, pea naʻe fakailifia ʻa hono fōtungá. 32 Ko e ʻulu ʻo e ʻīmisi ko iá ko e koula lelei,+ ko hono fatafatá mo hono ongo nimá ko e siliva,+ ko hono keté mo hono ongo alangá ko e kopa,+ 33 ko hono ongo kauvaʻé ko e ukamea,+ pea ko hono ongo lauʻivaʻé naʻe ukamea ʻa hono konga pea ʻumea*+ ʻa hono konga. 34 Naʻe hokohoko atu pē ʻa hoʻo sió ʻo aʻu ki hano tā mai ʻo ha maka, ʻo ʻikai ʻaki ʻa e nimá, pea naʻá ne taaʻi ʻa e ʻīmisí ʻi hono lauʻivaʻe ukamea mo e ʻumeá ʻo ne laiki ia.+ 35 ʻI he taimi ko iá ko e ukameá, ko e ʻumeá, ko e kopá, ko e silivá, pea mo e koulá, naʻe laiki fakataha ia pea nau hoko ʻo hangē ko e kafukafu mei he ʻauʻauʻanga uite ʻi he faʻahitaʻu māfaná pea naʻe ʻave ia ʻe he matangí, ko ia naʻe ʻikai lava ai ke maʻu hano toenga. Ka ko e maka naʻá ne taaʻi ʻa e ʻīmisí naʻe hoko ia ko ha fuʻu moʻunga, pea naʻá ne fakafonu ʻa e māmaní kotoa.

36 “Ko e misí eni, pea te mau tala atu ai leva ki he tuʻí ʻa hono ʻuhingá. 37 Ko koe, ʻe hoʻo ʻAfio—ʻa e tuʻi ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻa ia kuo foaki ki ai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo langí ʻa e puleʻanga,+ mo e mafai, mo e mālohi, pea mo e lāngilangi, 38 pea kuó ne foaki ki ho nimá ʻa e kau tangata ʻi ha feituʻu pē ʻoku nau nofo ai, pea pehē ki he fanga manu ʻo e vaó mo e fanga manupuna ʻo e langí, pea kuó ne ʻai koe ke ke pule kiate kinautolu hono kotoa+—ko koe tonu ʻa e ʻulu koulá.+

46 Pea naʻe tō foʻohifo ʻa Tuʻi Nepukanesa ki he kelekelé ʻi he ʻao ʻo Tanielá ʻo fai ha fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia. Pea naʻá ne fai ha tuʻutuʻuni ke foaki kiate ia ha meʻaʻofa pea tutu ha ʻinisēnisi kiate ia. 47 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he tuʻí kia Taniela: “Ko e moʻoni ko homou ʻOtuá ko ha ʻOtua ʻo e ngaahi ʻotua pea ko ha ʻEiki ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi pea ko e Tokotaha-Fakaeʻa ia ʻo e ngaahi meʻa fakapulipulí, koeʻuhí naʻá ke malava ke fakaeʻa ʻa e meʻa fakapulipuli+ ko ení.” 48 Naʻe hakeakiʻi leva ʻe he tuʻí ʻa Taniela peá ne foaki kiate ia ʻa e ngaahi meʻaʻofa lelei lahi, peá ne ʻai ia ke ne pule ki he vahefonua* kotoa ʻo Pāpiloné+ pea ko e ʻōfisa pule ki he kau tangata poto kotoa ʻo Pāpiloné. 49 Pea ʻi he kole ʻa Tanielá, naʻe fakanofo ai ʻe he tuʻí ʻa Setaleki, Mēsake, pea mo ʻApitenikō+ ke nau tokangaʻi ʻa hono fakalele ʻo e vahefonua* ʻo Pāpiloné, kae ngāue ʻa Taniela ʻi he lotoʻā ʻo e tuʻí.
