2 Naʻe pehē leva ʻe Sēkope ki hono fāmilí pea ki he faʻahinga kotoa naʻe ʻiate iá: “Liʻaki ʻa e ngaahi ʻotua muli ʻoku ʻi homou lotolotongá,+ pea fakamaʻa kimoutolu pea fetongi homou ngaahi kofú, 3 pea ke tau tuʻu ʻo ʻalu hake ki Pēteli. Te u ngaohi ai ha ʻōlita ki he ʻOtua moʻoní, ʻa ia naʻá ne fai ha tali kiate au ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hoku faingataʻaʻiá pea kuó ne ʻiate au ʻi ha feituʻu pē kuó u ʻalu ki ai.”*+ 4 Ko ia naʻa nau ʻoange kia Sēkope ʻa e ngaahi ʻotua muli kotoa naʻe ʻiate kinautolú pea mo e ngaahi hau naʻe ʻi honau telingá, pea naʻe tanu* ia ʻe Sēkope ʻi he fuʻu lalo ʻakau ʻa ia naʻe tuʻu ʻo ofi ki Sīkemi.

5 ʻI he hoko atu ʻenau fonongá, naʻe ʻai ʻe he ʻOtuá ke manavahē ʻa e ngaahi kolo takatakai ʻiate kinautolú, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te nau tulimui ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkopé. 6 Faifai atu pē naʻe aʻu mai ʻa Sēkope ki Lusa,+ ʻa ia ko Pēteli ia, ʻi he fonua ko Kēnaní, ko ia pea mo e kakai kotoa naʻe ʻiate iá. 7 Naʻá ne fokotuʻu leva ai ha ʻōlita peá ne ui ʻa e feituʻú ko ʻEla-pēteli,* koeʻuhí naʻe fakahaaʻi ai ʻe he ʻOtua moʻoní ʻa ia tonu kiate ia ʻi he taimi naʻá ne hola ai mei hono tokouá.+ 8 Ki mui ai, ko Tēpola,+ ʻa e tauhi ʻo Lepeká, naʻá ne mate pea naʻe tanu ia ʻo ofi ki Pēteli ʻi ha lalo ʻoke. Ko ia naʻá ne ui ia ko ʻĀloni-pakuti.*

9 Naʻe toe hā ʻa e ʻOtuá kia Sēkope lolotonga ʻene haʻu mei Petana-lamí peá ne tāpuakiʻi ia. 10 Naʻe folofola ange ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate ia: “Ko Sēkope+ ho hingoá. Ko ho hingoá ʻe ʻikai ke kei ui ko Sēkope, ka ʻe ui ho hingoá ko ʻIsileli.” Pea naʻe kamata ke ne ui ia ko ʻIsileli.+ 11 Naʻe hoko atu ʻa e folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate iá: “Ko au ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi-Aoniú.+ Fanafanau mo fakatokolahi. ʻE hoko mai meiate koe ha ngaahi puleʻanga mo ha fakatahaʻanga ʻo ha ngaahi puleʻanga,+ pea ʻe hoko mai ha ngaahi tuʻi meiate koe.+ 12 Pea ko e meʻa ki he fonua kuó u foaki kia ʻĒpalahame pea kia ʻAisaké, te u foaki ia kiate koe, pea te u foaki ʻa e fonuá ki ho hako ʻi he hili koé.”+ 13 Naʻe hāʻele hake leva ʻa e ʻOtuá meiate ia ʻi he feituʻu naʻá ne folofola ai kiate iá.

14 Ko ia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sēkope ha pou ʻi he feituʻu naʻá ne folofola ai kiate iá, ko ha pou maka, pea naʻá ne lilingi ai ha feilaulau inu mo lilingi ai ha lolo.+ 15 Pea naʻe hokohoko atu hono ui ʻe Sēkope ʻa e feituʻu naʻe folofola ange ai ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate iá ko Pēteli.+

16 Naʻa nau mavahe leva mei Pēteli. Pea ʻi he lolotonga ʻenau kei mamaʻo mei ʻEfalatá, naʻe kamata ke fāʻele ʻa Lesieli, pea naʻe faingataʻa ʻaupito ʻa ʻene langaá. 17 Ka ʻi he lolotonga ʻene kei fāinga ke fāʻeleʻi ʻa e tamá, naʻe pehē ange ʻe he māʻulí kiate ia: “ʻOua te ke ilifia, he te ke maʻu foki mo e tama ko ení.”+ 18 ʻI he faai atu ke mole ʻene moʻuí (he naʻá ne mei mate), naʻá ne fakahingoa ia ko Peni-oni,* ka naʻe ui ia ʻe heʻene tamaí ko Penisimani.*+ 19 Ko ia naʻe mate ʻa Lesieli pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi he hala ki ʻEfalatá, ʻa ia, ko Pētelihema.+ 20 Naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sēkope ha pou ʻi hono faʻitoká; ko e pou ia ʻo e faʻitoka ʻo Lesielí ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻahó ni.

21 ʻI he hili iá, naʻe mavahe ʻa ʻIsileli peá ne fokotuʻu hono tēnití ko hono mamaʻó naʻe fakalaka atu ʻi he taua ko ʻEtá. 22 ʻI he taimi ʻe taha, lolotonga ʻa e nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he fonua ko iá, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Lūpeni ʻo ne mohe* mo Pilā ko e sinifu ʻa ʻene tamaí, pea naʻe fanongo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo fekauʻaki mo ia.+

Ko ia naʻe toko 12 ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkopé. 23 Ko e ngaahi foha ʻia Liá, ko e ʻuluaki foha ʻo Sēkopé ko Lūpeni,+ pea hoko ai ʻa Simione, Līvai, Siuta, ʻĪsaka, mo Sepuloni. 24 Ko e ongo foha ʻia Lesielí ko Siosifa mo Penisimani. 25 Pea ko e ongo foha ʻia Pilaá, ʻa e kaunanga ʻa Lesielí, ko Tani mo Nafitalai. 26 Pea ko e ongo foha ʻia Silipá, ʻa e kaunanga ʻa Liá, ko Kata mo ʻĀseli. Ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo Sēkopé, ʻa ia naʻe fanauʻi kiate ia ʻi Petana-lamí.

27 Faai atu pē naʻe haʻu ʻa Sēkope ki he feituʻu naʻe ʻi ai ʻa ʻAisake ko ʻene tamaí ʻi Māmili,+ ki Kiliate-ʻaapa, ʻa ia ko Hepeloni, ʻa ē naʻe nofo ai ʻa ʻĒpalahame pea pehē kia ʻAisake ko ha ongo mulí.+ 28 Naʻe moʻui ʻa ʻAisake ʻo feʻunga mo e taʻu ʻe 180.+ 29 Pea naʻe hokotaki ʻa ʻAisake peá ne mate pea naʻe fakatahaʻi ia ki hono kakaí,* ko e hili atu ia ha moʻui fuoloa mo fakafiemālie;* pea naʻe tanu ia+ ʻe ʻĪsoa mo Sēkope ko hono ongo fohá.
