28 Ko ia naʻe ui mai ʻe ʻAisake ʻa Sēkope ʻo ne tāpuakiʻi ia peá ne tuʻutuʻuni kiate ia, ʻo pehē: “Kuo pau ke ʻoua naʻá ke maʻu ha uaifi mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Kēnaní.+ 2 Ke ke ʻalu ki Petana-lami ki he fale ʻo Petuelí, ko e tamai ʻa hoʻo faʻeé, pea ke maʻu mei ai hao uaifi mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Lēpani,+ ko e tuongaʻane ʻo hoʻo faʻeé. 3 Ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi-Aoniú te ne tāpuakiʻi koe pea ʻai koe ke ke fanafanau mo fakatokolahi, pea te ke hoko moʻoni ko ha fakatahaʻanga ʻo e ngaahi kakai.+ 4 Pea te ne foaki kiate koe ʻa e tāpuaki ʻo ʻĒpalahamé,+ kiate koe pea ki ho hako ʻoku ʻiate koé, koeʻuhi ke ke maʻu ʻa e fonua ʻa ia kuó ke nofo ai ko ha mulí, ʻa ia kuo foaki ʻe he ʻOtuá kia ʻĒpalahamé.”+
5 Ko ia naʻe fekau atu ʻe ʻAisake ʻa Sēkope ke ne ʻalu, pea naʻá ne mavahe ki Petana-lami, kia Lēpani ko e foha ʻo Petueli ko e tangata Alameá,+ ko e tuongaʻane ʻo Lepeka,+ ko e faʻē ʻa Sēkope mo ʻĪsoá.
6 Naʻe vakai ʻa ʻĪsoa kuo tāpuakiʻi ʻe ʻAisake ʻa Sēkope pea kuó ne fekauʻi ia ke ʻalu ki Petana-lami ke maʻu ha uaifi mei ai pea ʻi heʻene tāpuakiʻi iá, naʻá ne tuʻutuʻuni kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻá ke maʻu ha uaifi mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Kēnaní,”+ 7 pea naʻe talangofua ʻa Sēkope ki heʻene tamaí mo ʻene faʻeé peá ne mavahe ki Petana-lami.+ 8 Naʻe ʻiloʻi leva ai ʻe ʻĪsoa ko e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Kēnaní naʻe ʻikai leleiʻia ai ʻa ʻAisake+ ko ʻene tamaí, 9 ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa ʻĪsoa kia ʻIsimeʻeli ʻo ne maʻu ko hono uaifi ʻa Mahalati ko e ʻofefine ʻo e foha ʻo ʻĒpalahame ko ʻIsimeʻelí, ko e tuofefine ʻo Nēpaioté, ʻo tānaki atu ki hono ongo uaifi kehe naʻá ne ʻosi maʻú.+
10 Naʻe mavahe ʻa Sēkope mei Pea-sipa pea hokohoko atu ai pē ʻene ʻalú ki Hālani.+ 11 Faifai atu pē naʻá ne aʻu ki ha feituʻu peá ne teuteu ke mohe ai koeʻuhi kuo tō ʻa e laʻaá. Ko ia naʻá ne toʻo ha taha ʻo e ngaahi maka ʻo e feituʻu ko iá ʻo ne fokotuʻu ia ke ʻolunga ki ai hono ʻulú peá ne tokoto hifo ai.+ 12 Hili iá naʻá ne misi, pea vakai, tā naʻe ʻi ai ha kakaʻanga* naʻe fokotuʻu ʻi he māmaní, pea naʻe aʻu hake ki he langí; pea naʻe ʻalu hake mo ʻalu hifo ai ʻa e kau ʻāngelo ʻa e ʻOtuá.+ 13 Pea vakai, naʻe ʻafio ʻa Sihova ʻi ʻolunga ai, peá ne folofola mai:
“Ko au Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻĒpalahame ko hoʻo tamaí pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻAisake.+ Ko e fonua ʻa ia ʻokú ke tokoto aí, te u foaki ia kiate koe pea ki ho hakó.+ 14 Pea ko ho hakó te nau hoko moʻoni ʻo hangē ko e efu ʻo e māmaní,+ pea te ke mafola atu ki he hihifó pea ki he hahaké pea ki he tokelaú pea ki he tongá, pea fakafou ʻiate koe pea fakafou ʻi ho hakó, ko e ngaahi fāmili kotoa pē ʻo e māmaní ʻe tāpuakiʻi moʻoni ai kinautolu.*+ 15 ʻOku ou ʻiate koe, pea te u maluʻi koe ʻi ha feituʻu pē te ke ʻalu ki ai, pea te u fakafoki mai koe ki he fonuá ni.+ ʻE ʻikai te u liʻaki koe kae ʻoua kuó u fai ʻa e meʻa kuó u talaʻofaʻaki kiate koé.”+
16 Naʻe ʻā hake leva ʻa Sēkope mei heʻene mohé ʻo ne pehē: “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻi he feituʻú ni ʻa Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi ia.” 17 Pea naʻá ne hoko ʻo manavahē peá ne hoko atu: “He fakamanavahē moʻoni ē ko e feituʻú ni! Ko e fale pē eni ia ʻo e ʻOtuá,+ pea ko e matapā eni ʻo e langí.”+ 18 Ko ia naʻe tuʻu pongipongia hake ʻa Sēkope ʻo ne toʻo ʻa e maka ʻa ia naʻe ʻolunga ai hono ʻulú peá ne fokotuʻu ia ko ha pou ʻo ne lilingi ha lolo ʻi ʻolunga ai.+ 19 Ko ia naʻá ne ui ʻa e feituʻu ko iá ko Pēteli,* ka ko e hingoa ki muʻa ʻo e koló ko Lusa.+
20 Naʻe fai leva ʻe Sēkope ha fuakava, ʻo ne pehē: “Kapau ʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e kau ʻa e ʻOtuá mo aú ʻo ne maluʻi au ʻi heʻeku fonongá peá ne foaki mai kiate au ha mā ke u kai mo ha ngaahi kofu ke u tui 21 peá u foki ʻi he fiemālie ki he fale ʻo ʻeku tamaí, tā ʻe fakamoʻoniʻi moʻoni ai ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene hoko ko hoku ʻOtuá. 22 Pea ko e maka ko eni ʻa ia kuó u fokotuʻu ko ha poú ʻe hoko ia ko ha fale ʻo e ʻOtuá,+ pea ko e moʻoni te u ʻoatu kiate koe ha vahe hongofulu ʻo e meʻa kotoa pē te ke foaki kiate aú.”
