19 Naʻe aʻu ʻa e ongo ʻāngeló ki Sōtoma ʻi he efiafí, pea naʻe tangutu ʻa Lote ʻi he matapā ʻo Sōtomá. ʻI he sio ʻa Lote kiate kinauá, naʻá ne mālanga hake ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinaua ʻo ne punou ʻo hanga ki he kelekelé.+ 2 Pea naʻá ne pehē: “Kātaki muʻa, ʻe hoku ongo ʻeiki, ka mo afe mai muʻa, ʻo hū ki he fale ʻo hoʻomo sevānití pea nofo ai ʻi he poó ni pea tuku ke fufulu homo vaʻé. Peá mo toki tuʻu pongipongia hake leva ʻo hoko atu hoʻomo fonongá.” ʻI he meʻá ni naʻá na pehē: “ʻIkai, te ma nofo he poó ni ʻi he malaʻe fakakoló.”* 3 Ka naʻá ne mātuʻaki vilitaki pē kiate kinaua ke na ō mo ia ki hono falé. Naʻá ne fai leva ha kātoanga kai maʻanaua ʻo ne taʻo ha mā taʻelēvani, pea naʻá na kai.
4 Ki muʻa ke na lava ʻo tokoto hifo ke mohé, ko e kakai tangata ʻo e koló—ʻa e kakai tangata ʻo Sōtomá mei he tamasiʻi ki he vaivai, ʻa kinautolu hono kotoa—naʻa nau ʻātakaiʻi ʻa e falé ʻi ha fuʻu pupunga kakai fakamoveuveu pē ʻe taha. 5 Pea naʻa nau hanganaki kaila atu kia Lote ʻo pehē kiate ia: “Ko fē ʻa e ongo tangata naʻá na omi kiate koe ʻi he pō ní? ʻOmi kinaua ki tuʻa kiate kimautolu koeʻuhí ke mau mohe* mo kinaua.”+
6 Naʻe hū atu leva ʻa Lote ki tuʻa kiate kinautolu ki he hūʻangá, pea naʻá ne tāpuniʻi ʻa e matapaá mei hono tuʻá. 7 Naʻá ne pehē ange: “Fakamolemole muʻa, ʻe hoku fanga tokoua, ʻoua te mou fai ha tōʻonga fulikivanú. 8 Kātaki muʻa, ko eni ʻoku ʻi ai hoku ongo ʻofefine ʻa ia kuo teʻeki ai ʻaupito ke na mohe mo ha tangata. Tuku muʻa ke u ʻomi kinaua ki tuʻa kiate kimoutolu ke mou fai kiate kinaua ha meʻa pē ʻoku hā lelei kiate kimoutolú. Kae ʻoua te mou fai ha meʻa ki he ongo tangatá ni, he kuó na omi ki he malu* ʻo hoku falé.”+ 9 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻa nau pehē ange: “Tuʻu ki mui!” Pea nau hoko atu: “Ko e muli ʻoku ʻikai hano feʻao ko ení naʻe haʻu ke nofo heni, ka ko eni ʻoku fakatoʻotoʻa ia ke ne fakamāuʻi kitautolu! Sai te mau fai leva kiate koe ʻa e meʻa ʻoku kovi ange ia ʻi he meʻa te mau fai kiate kinauá.” Pea naʻa nau feʻohofi* atu kia Lote ʻo nau ʻunu atu ke haveki ʻa e matapaá. 10 Ko ia naʻe mafao atu ʻa e nima ʻo e ongo tangatá ʻo na ʻomai ʻa Lote ki fale, pea naʻá na tāpuniʻi ʻa e matapaá. 11 Ka naʻá na taaʻi ʻaki ʻa e kuí ʻa e kau tangata ʻa ia naʻe ʻi he hūʻanga ʻo e falé, mei he siʻi taha ki he lahi taha, ko ia naʻa nau fiu feinga ai ke ʻilo ʻa e hūʻangá.
12 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe he ongo tangatá kia Lote: “ʻOku toe ʻi ai ha taha kehe heni mo koe? Ko hao ngaahi foha-ʻi-he-fono, ko hao ngaahi foha, ko hao ngaahi ʻofefine, pea mo hoʻo kakai kotoa ʻi he koló, ʻave kinautolu ki tuʻa mei he feituʻú ni! 13 He te ma fakaʻauha ʻa e feituʻú ni, koeʻuhi kuo fakaʻau ke leʻo-lahi moʻoni ʻa e kalanga ʻo kau kiate kinautolú ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová,+ ko ia kuo fekau mai ai kimaua ʻe Sihova ke fakaʻauha ʻa e koló.” 14 Ko ia naʻe hū ʻa Lote ki tuʻa pea kamata ke ne lea ki hono ongo foha-ʻi-he-fonó* ʻa ia naʻe teu mali mo hono ongo ʻofefiné ʻo ne toutou pehē: “Tuʻu! Hū ki tuʻa mei he feituʻú ni, koeʻuhi ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova ʻa e koló!” Ka ki hono ongo foha-ʻi-he-fonó, naʻe hā ngali ʻo hangē ia ko haʻane fakakatá.+
15 ʻI he mafoa ʻa e atá, naʻe hoko ʻo fakavaveʻi ʻe he ongo ʻāngeló ʻa Lote ʻo na pehē: “Tuʻu! ʻAve ho uaifí mo ho ongo ʻofefiné ʻa ia ʻoku nau ʻi heni mo koé, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tafiʻi koe ʻi he faihala ʻa e koló!”+ 16 ʻI heʻene kei fakatuotuaí, pea koeʻuhi ko e manavaʻofa ʻa Sihova kiate iá,+ naʻe puke ʻe he ongo tangatá ʻa hono nimá mo e nima ʻo hono uaifí pea mo e nima ʻo hono ongo ʻofefiné, pea naʻá na ʻomi kinautolu ʻo na tuku kinautolu ʻi tuʻa ʻi he koló.+ 17 ʻI heʻena ʻave pē kinautolu ki he tuʻa koló, naʻá ne pehē: “Hola telia hoʻo moʻuí! ʻOua te ke sio ki mui+ pea ʻoua naʻa tuʻu noaʻia ʻi ha feituʻu pē ʻo e vahefonuá!+ Hola ki he feituʻu moʻungaʻiá koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa tafiʻi koe!”
18 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Lote kiate kinaua: “ʻOua muʻa te u hola ki ai, ʻe Sihova! 19 Fakamolemole muʻa, ko eni, kuo maʻu ʻe hoʻo sevānití ʻa hoʻo hōifuá pea ʻokú ke fakahaaʻi ʻa e anga-ʻofa* lahi kiate au ʻaki hono fakahaofi aú,+ ka ʻoku ʻikai te u malava ke hola ki he feituʻu moʻungaʻiá he ʻoku ou ilifia naʻa hoko kiate au ha fakatamaki peá u mate ai.+ 20 Kātaki muʻa, ko eni, ko e kolo ko ení ʻoku ofi mai pea ʻe lava ke u hola ki ai; ko ha kiʻi feituʻu siʻisiʻi pē ia. Kātaki, ʻe lava nai ke u hola ki ai? Ko ha kiʻi feituʻu siʻisiʻi pē ia. Pea te u hao leva ai.” 21 Ko ia naʻá ne pehē kiate ia: “Lelei ʻaupito, te u toe fakahaaʻi atu kiate koe ʻa e fakaʻatuʻi+ ʻaki ʻa e ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ʻa e kolo ʻokú ke lea ʻo kau ki aí.+ 22 Fakatoʻotoʻo! Hola ki ai, koeʻuhi heʻikai lava ke u fai ha meʻa kae ʻoua kuó ke aʻu ki ai!”+ Ko e ʻuhinga ia naʻá ne ui ai ʻa e koló ko Soá.*+
23 Naʻe hopo ʻa e laʻaá ki he fonuá ʻi he taimi naʻe aʻu ai ʻa Lote ki Soá. 24 Naʻe ʻai leva ʻe Sihova ke ʻuha sūlifa mo e afi ki Sōtoma mo Komola—naʻe haʻu ia meia Sihova, mei he langí.+ 25 Ko ia naʻá ne fakaʻauha ʻa e ongo koló ni, ʻio, ʻa e vahefonuá kātoa, ʻo kau ai ʻa e kakai kotoa ʻo e ongo koló mo e ngaahi ʻakau ʻo e kelekelé.+ 26 Ka ko e uaifi ʻo Loté, ʻa ia naʻe muimui atu ʻiate iá, naʻe kamata ke ne sio ki mui, pea naʻá ne hoko ko ha pou māsima.+
27 Pea ko ʻĒpalahame naʻá ne tuʻu pongipongia hake ʻo ne ʻalu ki he feituʻu ʻa ia naʻá ne tuʻu ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová.+ 28 ʻI heʻene sio hifo ki Sōtoma mo Komola mo e fonua kotoa ʻo e vahefonuá, naʻá ne sio ai ki ha meʻa mātuʻaki anga-kehe. Tā ko e fuʻu kohu ena ʻoku ʻalu hake mei he fonuá ʻo hangē ko e fuʻu kohu ʻo ha fōnisé!+ 29 Ko ia ʻi he taimi naʻe fakaʻauha ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e ongo kolo ʻo e vahefonuá, naʻe manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa ʻĒpalahame ʻaki ʻene ʻave ʻa Lote ki tuʻa mei he ongo kolo naʻá ne fakaʻauhá, ʻa e ongo kolo ʻa ia naʻe nofo ai ʻa Loté.+
30 Ki mui ai, naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Lote mei Soa mo hono ongo ʻofefiné ʻo kamata nofo ʻi he feituʻu moʻungaʻiá,+ koeʻuhi naʻá ne ilifia ke nofo ʻi Soa.+ Ko ia naʻá ne kamata nofo ai ʻi ha ʻana mo hono ongo ʻofefiné. 31 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he lahí ki he siʻí: “ʻOku motuʻa ʻeta tamaí, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻi he fonuá ke mohe mo kitaua ʻo hangē ko e anga ʻo e māmaní kotoa. 32 Haʻu, ta ʻoange ki heʻeta tamaí ha uaine ke ne inu, pea tuku ke ta mohe mo ia pea ke fakaili ai ha hako mei heʻeta tamaí.”
33 Ko ia ʻi he pō ko iá naʻá na hanganaki fakainu uaine ʻena tamaí; pea naʻe hū ki loto ʻa e lahí ʻo mohe mo ʻene tamaí, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e taimi naʻe tokoto hifo ai hono ʻofefiné mo e taimi naʻá ne tuʻu hake aí. 34 ʻI he ʻaho leva hono hokó, naʻe pehē ʻe he lahí ki he siʻí: “Ko eni naʻá ku mohe mo ʻeku tamaí ʻanepō. Ta toe fakainu uaine ia he poó ni. Peá ke hū leva ki loto ʻo mohe mo ia, pea tuku ke ta fakaili ha hako mei heʻeta tamaí.” 35 Ko ia ʻi he pō foki ko iá, naʻá na toutou fakainu uaine ʻena tamaí; pea naʻe ʻalu atu leva ʻa e siʻí ʻo ne mohe mo ia, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e taimi naʻe tokoto hifo ai hono ʻofefiné mo e taimi naʻá ne tuʻu hake aí. 36 Ko ia naʻe hoko ʻo feitama fakatouʻosi ʻa e ongo ʻofefine ʻo Loté ki heʻena tamaí. 37 Naʻe fanauʻi ʻe he lahí ha tama tangata peá ne fakahingoa ia ko Mōape.+ Ko e tamai ia ʻa e kau Mōape ʻo e ʻaho ní.+ 38 Naʻe toe fanauʻi foki ʻe he siʻí ha tama tangata, pea naʻá ne fakahingoa ia ko Peni-ami. Ko e tamai ia ʻa e kau ʻĀmoni+ ʻo e ʻaho ní.
