Ko ha Meʻa Fakahā kia Sione
17 Ko e taha ʻo e kau ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻa e poulu ʻe fitú+ naʻe haʻu ʻo ne pehē mai kiate au: “Haʻu, te u fakahā atu kiate koe ʻa e fakamaau ʻoku fai ki he fuʻu fefine feʻauaki ʻa ia ʻokú ne tangutu ʻi he ngaahi vai lahí,+ 2 ʻa ia kuo fehokotaki fakasino taʻetaau*+ mo ia ʻa e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo e māmaní, pea ko e kau nofo ʻi he māmaní naʻa nau konā ʻi he uaine ʻo ʻene fehokotaki fakasino taʻetāú.”*+
3 Pea naʻá ne ʻave au ʻi he mālohi ʻo e laumālié ki ha toafa. Pea naʻá ku sio ki ha fefine ʻoku heka mai ʻi ha manu fekai lanu kula ʻahoʻaho ʻa ia naʻe fonu ai ʻa e ngaahi hingoa laukovi ki he ʻOtuá pea naʻe ʻulu fitu mo meʻatui ʻe hongofulu. 4 Ko e fefiné naʻe kofu lanu vāleti+ mo kula ʻahoʻaho, pea naʻá ne teu ʻaki ʻa e koula mo e ngaahi maka mahuʻinga mo e ngaahi mataʻitofe,+ pea naʻe ʻi hono nimá ha ipu koula naʻe fonu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakalielia mo e ngaahi meʻa taʻemaʻa ʻo ʻene fehokotaki fakasino taʻetāú.* 5 Naʻe tohi ʻi hono laʻé ha hingoa, ko ha misiteli: “Ko Pāpilone ko e Lahi, ko e faʻē ʻa e kakai fefine feʻauakí+ pea mo e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ʻo e māmaní.”+ 6 Pea naʻá ku vakai, tā naʻe konā ʻa e fefiné ʻi he toto ʻo e kakai tapú pea ʻi he toto ʻo e kau fakamoʻoni ʻa Sīsuú.+
Pea ʻi heʻeku sio kiate iá naʻá ku mātuʻaki ofoofo. 7 Ko ia naʻe pehē mai ʻe he ʻāngeló kiate au: “Ko e hā naʻá ke ofoofo aí? Te u tala atu kiate koe ʻa e misiteli ʻo e fefiné+ pea mo e manu fekai ʻulu fitu mo meʻatui ʻe hongofulu+ ʻa ia ʻokú ne heka aí: 8 Ko e manu fekai naʻá ke sio ki aí naʻe ʻi ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai, ka neongo iá ʻoku teu ke ne ʻalu hake mei he luo taʻehanotakelé,+ pea te ne ʻalu atu ki he fakaʻauha. Pea ko e kau nofo ʻi he māmaní—ʻa kinautolu ko honau hingoá kuo teʻeki ke tohi ʻi he takainga tohi ʻo e moʻuí+ talu mei he tanupou ʻo e māmaní*—te nau ofoofo ʻi he taimi te nau sio ai ki he manu fekaí, he ko ē naʻe ʻi ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai, ka neongo iá ʻe ʻi heni ia.
9 ʻOku fiemaʻu ki heni ha ʻatamai ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e potó: Ko e foʻi ʻulu ʻe fitú+ ʻoku nau fakafofongaʻi ʻa e moʻunga ʻe fitu, ʻa ia ʻoku tangutu ʻi ʻolunga ai ʻa e fefiné. 10 Pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e tuʻi ʻe fitu: Kuo tō ha toko nima, ko e taha ʻoku ʻi aí ni, pea kuo teʻeki ke aʻu mai ʻa e toko taha; ka ʻi he taimi ʻe aʻu mai aí, kuo pau ke ne nofo ʻo kiʻi fuoloa siʻi. 11 Pea ko e manu fekai naʻe ʻi ai ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ní,+ ko ha toe tuʻi foki ia hono valu, ka ko ʻene tupu hake mei he tuʻi ʻe fitú, pea ʻokú ne ʻalu atu ki he fakaʻauha.
12 “Ko e meʻatui ʻe hongofulu naʻá ke sio ki aí ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e tuʻi ʻe hongofulu ʻa ia kuo teʻeki ke nau maʻu ha puleʻanga, ka ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e mafai ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻi he houa ʻe taha fakataha mo e manu fekaí. 13 ʻOku maʻu ʻe he ngaahi meʻatuí ni ʻa e fakakaukau pē taha, ko ia ʻoku nau ʻave ai honau mālohí mo e mafaí ki he manu fekaí. 14 Ko e ngaahi meʻatuí ni te nau faitau mo e Lamí,+ ka koeʻuhí ko e Lamí ko e ʻEiki ia ʻo e ngaahi ʻeiki mo e Tuʻi ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi,+ te ne ikunaʻi kinautolu.+ Pehē foki, ko e faʻahinga ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻa ia kuo ui pea kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtuá mo nau faitōnunga kiate iá te nau ikuna.”+
15 Naʻá ne pehē mai kiate au: “Ko e ngaahi vai naʻá ke sio ki aí, ʻa ia ʻoku tangutu ai ʻa e fefine feʻauakí, ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e ngaahi kakai mo e ngaahi matakali mo e ngaahi puleʻanga mo e ngaahi lea.+ 16 Pea ko e meʻatui ʻe hongofulu+ naʻá ke sio ki aí pea mo e manu fekaí+ te nau fehiʻa ki he fefine feʻauakí+ pea te nau ʻai ia ke hoko ko e koto halaʻatā mo telefua, pea te nau keina hono kakanó pea tutu fakaʻaufuli ia ʻaki ʻa e afi.+ 17 He kuo ʻai ʻe he ʻOtuá ki honau lotó ke nau fakahoko ʻa ʻene fakakaukaú,+ ʻio, ke fakahoko ʻenau fakakaukau pē tahá ʻaki hono ʻoange honau puleʻangá ki he manu fekaí,+ kae ʻoua kuo fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi foʻi folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. 18 Pea ko e fefine+ naʻá ke sio ki aí ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e fuʻu kolo lahi ʻa ia ʻokú ne maʻu ha puleʻanga ʻoku pule ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo e māmaní.”
