49 Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ki he kau ʻĀmoní:+
“ʻOku ʻikai ha ngaahi foha ia ʻo ʻIsileli?
ʻOku ʻikai ʻi ai hano ʻea?
Ko e hā kuo maʻu ai ʻe Malekami+ ʻa Katá?+
Pea ko e hā ʻoku nofo ai ʻa hono kakaí ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIsilelí?”
2 “‘Ko ia ai, vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho,’ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová,
‘ʻA ia te u ʻai ha fakatokanga ʻo e tau* ke ongo atu ki Lapa+ ʻo e kau ʻĀmoní.+
Te ne hoko ko ha foʻi tafunga kuo liʻaki,
Pea ʻe tutu ʻa hono ngaahi kolo takatakaí.’*
‘Pea ʻe maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli ʻa e fonua ʻo e faʻahinga naʻa nau ʻave hono fonuá,’+ ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihová.
3 ‘Tangilāulau, ʻe Hesiponi, he kuo fakaʻauha ʻa ʻAi!
Kalanga, ʻa e ngaahi kolo takatakai ʻo Lapá.
Mou ʻai tauangaʻa.
Mou tangilāulau mo lele holo ʻi he ngaahi ʻā maká,*
He ʻe ʻave fakamālohi ʻa Malekami,
Fakataha mo ʻene kau taulaʻeikí mo ʻene kau houʻeikí.+
4 Ko e hā ʻokú ke pōlepole ʻaki ai ʻa e ngaahi teleʻá,*
ʻA hoʻo teleʻa mohu vaí, siʻi ʻofefine taʻefaitōnunga,
ʻA ia ʻokú ne falala ki heʻene ngaahi koloá
Pea ʻokú ne pehē: “Ko hai ia ʻe haʻu kiate aú?”’”
5 “‘Ko eni ʻoku ou ʻomi ha meʻa fakailifia kiate koe,’ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe he ʻEiki Haú, ʻe Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau,
‘Mei he faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku takatakai kiate koé.
ʻE fakamovetevete atu kimoutolu ki he tapa kotoa pē,
Pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne tānaki fakataha mai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku holá.’”
6 “‘Ka ʻi he hili iá te u tānaki fakataha mai ʻa e kau pōpula ʻa e kau ʻĀmoní,’ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.”
7 Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau ki ʻĪtomí:
“ʻOku ʻikai ke toe ʻi ai ha poto ia ʻi Tīmani?+
Kuo mole ʻa e faleʻi leleí ia mei he faʻahinga ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e mahinó?
Kuo ʻosi atu honau potó?
8 Mou hola, tafoki mai!
Mou ʻalu ʻo nofo ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu māʻulaló, siʻi kakai ʻo Titaní!+
He te u ʻomi ha fakatamaki kia ʻĪsoa
ʻI he hoko mai ʻa e taimi ke u tautea ai iá.
9 Kapau naʻe haʻu kiate koe ha kau toli kālepi,
ʻIkai te nau fakatoe ha meʻa ke tufi?
Kapau naʻe haʻu ha kau kaihaʻa ʻi he poʻulí,
Te nau fai pē ʻa e maumau lahi taha te nau fiemaʻu ke faí.+
10 Ka ko au te u fakatekelei ʻa ʻĪsoa.
Te u fakaeʻa ʻa hono ngaahi feituʻu toitoiʻangá,
Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa lava ke ne toi.
Ko ʻene fānaú mo hono fanga tokouá mo hono ngaahi kaungāʻapí ʻe fakaʻauha kotoa,+
Pea ʻe ʻikai te ne toe ʻi ai.+
11 Liʻaki ʻa hoʻo fānau tamai-maté,
Pea te u tauhi kinautolu ke nau moʻui,
Pea ko hoʻo kau uitoú te nau falala kiate au.”
12 He ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihová: “Vakai! Kapau ko e faʻahinga ē naʻe ʻikai tuʻutuʻuni pau ke nau inu ʻi he ipú kuo pau ke nau inu iá, ʻe mātuʻaki tuku taʻetautea koā koe? ʻE ʻikai tuku taʻetautea koe, he kuo pau ke ke inu ia.”+
13 “He kuó u fai ha fuakava ʻiate au,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, “ʻe hoko ʻa Pōsila ko ha meʻa ke fai ai ha fakalilifuʻia,+ mo ha lumaʻanga, ko ha feituʻu liʻaki, mo ha mala; pea ko e kotoa ʻo hono ngaahi koló ʻe hoko ko ha fokotuʻunga maumau ʻo taʻengata.”+
14 Kuó u fanongo ʻi ha ongoongo meia Sihova,
Kuo fekauʻi mai ha talafekau ki he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá, ʻo pehē:
“Mou fakatahataha ʻo ʻalu atu kiate ia;
Teuteu ki he tau.”+
15 “He vakai, kuó u ʻai koe ko e siʻi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá,
Pea taʻetokaʻi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.+
16 Ko e manavahē kuó ke fakatupungá kuó ne kākaaʻi koe,
Pea pehē ki he ʻafungi ʻo ho lotó,
ʻA koe ʻokú ke nofo ʻi he ngaahi avaʻi maká,
ʻI he funga moʻungá.
Neongo hoʻo faʻu ho punungá ʻi he taukakapá ʻo hangē ha ʻīkalé,
Te u ʻohifo koe mei ai,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
17 “Pea ko ʻĪtomi kuo pau ke ne hoko ko ha meʻa ke fai ai ha fakalilifuʻia.+ Ko e tokotaha kotoa pē ʻe fou mai aí te ne sio fakamamaʻu ki ai ʻi he fakalilifuʻia peá ne fai ha manuki* ki ai koeʻuhi ko e kotoa ʻo hono ngaahi tauteá. 18 Hangē pē ko ia naʻe hoko ʻi hono fakaʻauha ʻo Sōtoma mo Komola mo hona ngaahi kolo kaungāʻapí,”+ ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihová, “ʻe ʻikai ke nofo ai taha, pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe nofo ai.+
19 “Vakai! ʻE ʻalu atu ha taha ki he ngaahi kaikaiʻanga malú ʻo hangē ha laione+ ʻoku haʻu mei he ngaahi vao ʻakau fihi ʻi he veʻe Sioataní, ka ʻi ha mōmeniti siʻi pē mei ai te u ʻai ia ke ne hola meiate ia. Pea te u fakanofo ʻa e tokotaha kuo filí ke pule kiate ia. He ko hai ia ʻoku hangē ko aú, pea ko hai ia te ne poleʻi aú? Ko hai ha tauhi-sipi ʻe lava ke tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻaó?+ 20 Ko ia ai, mou fanongo mai, kau tangata, ki he tuʻutuʻuni kuo fai ʻe* Sihova ki ʻĪtomí pea mo e meʻa kuó ne fakakaukauʻi ke fai ki he kakai ʻoku nofo ʻi Tīmaní:+
Ko e moʻoni ʻe toho atu ʻa e fanga kiʻi sipi ʻo e tākangá.
Te ne ʻai ʻa honau nofoʻangá ke hoko ʻo lala koeʻuhi ko kinautolu.+
21 Kuo ngalulu ʻa e māmaní ʻi he ongo mai ʻa ʻenau toó.
ʻOku ʻi ai ha fuʻu kalanga!
Kuo ongo atu ia ʻo aʻu ki he Tahi Kulokulá.+
22 Vakai! ʻI he hangē ha ʻīkalé te ne ʻalu hake peá ne tūʻulu hifo,+
Pea ʻe mafola atu ʻa hono ongo kapakaú ki Pōsila.+
ʻI he ʻaho ko iá ko e loto ʻo e kau pāteʻi tau ʻo ʻĪtomí
ʻE hangē ko e loto ʻo ha fefine ʻoku fāʻelé.”
23 Ki Tāmasikusi:+
“Kuo fakamaaʻi ʻa Hēmati+ mo ʻĀpati,
He kuó na fanongo ʻi ha ongoongo kovi.
Naʻe vaivai hona lotó ʻi he manavahē.
ʻOku houtuʻu ʻa e tahí ʻo ʻikai lava ke nonga.
24 Kuo mole ʻa e loto-toʻa ʻa Tāmasikusí.
Kuó ne tafoki hake ke hola, ka kuo maʻu ia ʻe he tailiilí.
Kuo maʻu ia ʻe he mamahí mo e langá,
ʻO hangē ha fefine ʻoku fāʻelé.
25 ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e ʻikai ke liʻaki ʻa e kolo lāngilangiʻiá,
ʻA e kolo ʻo e mavavá?
26 He ko ʻene kau talavoú te nau tō ʻi hono ngaahi malaʻe fakakoló,*
Pea ko e kotoa ʻo e kau sōtiá te nau ʻauha ʻi he ʻaho ko iá,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau.
27 “Te u tutu ʻa e ʻā ʻo Tāmasikusí,
Pea ʻe keina ai ʻa e ngaahi taua fakakolotau ʻo Peni-hētatí.”+
28 Ki Keta+ pea mo e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo Hāsoá, ʻa ia naʻe taaʻi ʻe Tuʻi Nepukanesa* ʻo Pāpiloné, ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihová:
“Tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu atu ki Keta,
Pea fakaʻauha ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻi he Hahaké.
29 ʻE ʻave ʻa honau ngaahi tēnití mo ʻenau ngaahi tākangá,
ʻEnau ngaahi tupenu tēnití mo ʻenau koloá kotoa.
ʻE ʻave ʻenau fanga kāmelí,
Pea te nau kaila atu kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻOku ʻi ai ha manavahē ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē!’”
30 “Mou hola, mou ʻalu ʻaupito ki he mamaʻó!
Mou ʻalu ʻo nofo ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu māʻulaló, siʻi kakai ʻo Hāsoá,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
“He ko Tuʻi Nepukanesa* ʻo Pāpiloné kuó ne fai ha faʻufaʻu kiate kimoutolu,
Pea kuó ne fakakaukauʻi ha kovi kiate kimoutolu.”
31 “Tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu atu ki he puleʻanga ʻoku nongá,
ʻA ia ʻoku malu ʻenau nofó,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
“ʻOku ʻikai ʻi ai hano matapā pe meʻa fakamaʻu; ʻoku nau nofo mavahe pē.
32 ʻE ʻave fakamālohi ʻa ʻenau fanga kāmelí,
Pea ʻe hoko ko e koloa vete ʻa ʻenau fanga manu tokolahí.
Te u fakamovete kinautolu ʻi he matangi kotoa pē,*
ʻA e faʻahinga ʻoku nau tele ʻa e fulufulu ʻi honau manifí,+
Pea te u ʻomi ha fakatamaki kiate kinautolu mei he tapa kotoa pē,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
33 “Pea ʻe hoko ʻa Hāsoa ko e nofoʻanga ʻo e fanga siakalí,
Ko ha potu lala ʻo taʻengata.
ʻE ʻikai ke nofo ai ha taha,
Pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe nofo ai.”
34 Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova naʻe hoko mai kia Selemaia ko e palōfitá ʻo fekauʻaki mo ʻĪlami+ ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo e pule ʻa Tuʻi Setekaia+ ʻo Siutá: 35 “Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, ‘Ko eni ʻoku ou fesiʻi ʻa e kaufana ʻa ʻĪlamí,+ ʻa e matavai* ʻo honau mālohí. 36 Te u ʻomi ki ʻĪlami ʻa e matangi ʻe fā mei he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻe fā ʻo e langí, pea te u fakamovetevete kinautolu ki he ngaahi matangi kotoa ko ení. ʻE ʻikai ha puleʻanga ʻe taʻeʻalu ki ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo ʻĪlami kuo fakamoveteveté.’”
37 “Te u haveki ʻa e kau ʻĪlamí ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi filí pea ʻi he ʻao ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau kumi ke toʻo ʻenau moʻuí; pea te u ʻomi ha fakatamaki kiate kinautolu, ʻa ʻeku ʻita kakahá,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová. “Pea te u fekauʻi atu ʻa e heletaá ke tulimui kiate kinautolu kae ʻoua kuó u fakaʻauha ʻosi kinautolu.”
38 “Pea te u fokotuʻu hoku taloní ʻi ʻĪlami,+ pea te u fakaʻauha mei ai ʻa e tuʻí mo e kau houʻeikí,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
39 “Ka ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí, te u tānaki fakataha mai ʻa e kau pōpula ʻo ʻĪlamí,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
