3 Naʻe ngaohi ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻí ha ʻīmisi koula naʻe kiupite ʻe 60* ʻa hono māʻolungá pea kiupite ʻe 6* ʻa hono fālahí. Naʻá ne fokotuʻu ia ʻi he tokalelei ʻo Tulá ʻi he vahefonua* ʻo Pāpiloné. 2 Naʻe fai leva ʻe Tuʻi Nepukanesa ha fekau ke fakatahataha ʻa e kau situlape,* kau ʻōfisa pule, kau kōvana, kau faleʻi, kau tauhi paʻanga, kau fakamaau, kau ʻōfisa fakamaau, mo e kau pule kotoa ʻo e ngaahi vahefonuá* ʻo nau omi ki hono fakatapui ʻo e ʻīmisi naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Tuʻi Nepukanesá.
3 Ko ia naʻe fakatahataha mai ʻa e kau situlapé, kau ʻōfisa pulé, kau kōvaná, kau faleʻí, kau tauhi paʻangá, kau fakamāú, kau ʻōfisa fakamāú, pea mo e kau pule kotoa ʻo e ngaahi vahefonuá* ki hono fakatapui ʻo e ʻīmisi naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Tuʻi Nepukanesá. Pea naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi muʻa ʻi he ʻīmisi naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Nepukanesá. 4 Naʻe fanongonongo leʻo-lahi ʻe he tokotaha fai fanongonongó: “ʻOku tuʻutuʻuni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe ngaahi kakai, ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e ngaahi kakai lea kehekehe, 5 ʻi hoʻomou fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo e meʻaifí, meʻaifi paipá, sifá, haʻape tapatolú, meʻalea filó, fuluta lahí, mo e ngaahi meʻalea kehekehé, kuo pau ke mou fakatōmapeʻe ʻo lotu ki he ʻīmisi koula naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Tuʻi Nepukanesá. 6 ʻIlonga ʻa ia ʻe ʻikai ke fakatōmapeʻe ʻo lotú ʻe lī leva ia ki he loto fōnise afi vela kakahá.”+ 7 Ko ia ʻi he fanongo ʻa e ngaahi kakaí kotoa ki he leʻo ʻo e meʻaifí, meʻaifi paipá, sifá, haʻape tapatolú, meʻalea filó, mo e ngaahi meʻalea kehekehé, naʻe fakatōmapeʻe ʻa e ngaahi kakai kotoa pē, ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e ngaahi kakai lea kehekehé ʻo nau lotu ki he ʻīmisi koula naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Tuʻi Nepukanesá.
8 Pea ʻi he taimi ko iá naʻe laka atu ki muʻa ha niʻihi ʻo e kau Kalitiá ʻo talatalaakiʻi* ʻa e kau Siú. 9 Naʻa nau pehē kia Tuʻi Nepukanesa: “ʻE hoʻo ʻAfio, ʻofa ke ke lākoifie ʻo taʻengata. 10 Naʻá ke fai ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni, ʻe hoʻo ʻAfio, ʻi he taimi ʻe fanongo ai ʻa e tangata kotoa pē ki he leʻo ʻo e meʻaifí, meʻaifi paipá, sifá, haʻape tapatolú, meʻalea filó, fuluta lahí, mo e ngaahi meʻalea kehekehé, ke nau fakatōmapeʻe ʻo lotu ki he ʻīmisi koulá; 11 pea ʻilonga ʻa ia ʻe ʻikai fakatōmapeʻe ʻo lotú ʻe lī ia ki he loto fōnise afi vela kakahá.+ 12 Ka ʻoku ʻi ai ha kau Siu ʻa ia naʻá ke fakanofo ke nau pule ki he vahefonua* ʻo Pāpiloné: Ko Setaleki, Mēsake, pea mo ʻApitenikō.+ Ko e kau tangatá ni kuo ʻikai te nau tokaʻi koe, ʻe hoʻo ʻAfio. ʻOku ʻikai te nau tauhi ki ho ngaahi ʻotuá, pea ʻoku nau fakafisi ke lotu ki he ʻīmisi koula kuó ke fokotuʻú.”
13 Pea ʻi he houhau lahi ʻa Nepukanesá, naʻá ne tuʻutuʻuni ai ke ʻomi ʻa Setaleki, Mēsake, pea mo ʻApitenikō. Ko ia naʻe ʻomi ʻa e kau tangatá ni ki he ʻao ʻo e tuʻí. 14 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Nepukanesa kiate kinautolu: “ʻOku moʻoni koā, ʻe Setaleki, Mēsake, mo ʻApitenikō, ʻoku ʻikai te mou tauhi ki hoku ngaahi ʻotuá+ pea ʻoku mou fakafisi ke lotu ki he ʻīmisi koula kuó u fokotuʻú? 15 Ko eni ʻi hoʻomou fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo e meʻaifí, meʻaifi paipá, sifá, haʻape tapatolú, meʻalea filó, fuluta lahí, mo e ngaahi meʻalea kehekehé, kapau ʻoku mou mateuteu ke fakatōmapeʻe ʻo lotu ki he ʻīmisi kuó u ngaohí, ʻoku lelei. Ka ʻo kapau te mou fakafisi ke lotu ki ai, ʻe lī leva kimoutolu ki he loto fōnise afi vela kakahá. Pea ko hai ia ʻa e ʻotua ʻe lava ke ne fakahaofi kimoutolu mei hoku nimá?”+
16 Naʻe tali ange ʻe Setaleki, Mēsake, mo ʻApitenikō ki he tuʻí: “ʻE Nepukanesa, ʻoku ʻikai haʻamau toe tali ʻe fai atu kiate koe ʻi he meʻá ni. 17 Kapau ko e meʻa ia ʻe hokó, ko homau ʻOtuá ʻa ia ʻoku mau tauhi ki aí ʻe malava ke ne fakahaofi kimautolu mei he fōnise afi vela kakahá, ʻe hoʻo ʻAfio, pea mo fakahaofi kimautolu mei ho nimá.+ 18 Ka neongo kapau heʻikai te ne fai pehē, tuku ke ke ʻafioʻi, ʻe hoʻo ʻAfio, ʻe ʻikai te mau tauhi ki ho ngaahi ʻotuá pe lotu ki he ʻīmisi koula kuó ke fokotuʻú.”+
19 Naʻe hoko leva ai ʻo mātuʻaki tōlili ʻa Nepukanesa ʻia Setaleki, Mēsake, mo ʻApitenikō ʻo mafuli ʻa hono fofongá* kiate kinautolu, pea naʻá ne fai ha tuʻutuʻuni ke tafu ʻa e fōnisé ke vela ange ʻo liunga fitu ʻi he tuʻunga anga-mahení. 20 Naʻá ne tuʻutuʻuni ki he niʻihi ʻo e kau tangata toʻa ʻi heʻene kau taú ke nau haʻi ʻa Setaleki, Mēsake, mo ʻApitenikō pea lī kinautolu ki he loto fōnise afi vela kakahá.
21 Ko ia naʻe haʻi ʻa e kau tangatá ni lolotonga ia ʻoku nau kei tui honau pulupulú, kofú, tataá, mo honau teunga kehé kotoa, pea naʻe lī kinautolu ki he loto fōnise afi vela kakahá. 22 Koeʻuhí ko e fuʻu fefeka ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e tuʻí pea naʻe anga-kehe ʻa e vela ʻa e fōnisé, ko e kau tangata naʻa nau ʻave ʻa Setaleki, Mēsake, mo ʻApitenikoó ko kinautolu ia naʻa nau mate ʻi he ulo ʻa e afí. 23 Ka ko e kau tangata ko eni ʻe toko tolú, ʻa Setaleki, Mēsake, mo ʻApitenikō, naʻa nau tō ki he loto fōnise afi vela kakahá kuo haʻi kinautolu.
24 Naʻe hoko ʻo ilifia ʻa Tuʻi Nepukanesa he taimi ko iá peá ne tuʻu fakavave hake ʻo ne pehē ki heʻene kau ʻōfisa māʻolungá: “ʻIkai ko e kau tangata ʻe toko tolu naʻa tau haʻi ʻo lī ki he loto afí?” Naʻa nau tali ange ki he tuʻí: “Ko ia, ʻe hoʻo ʻAfio.” 25 Naʻá ne pehē ange: “Vakai atu! ʻOku ou sio ki ha kau tangata ʻe toko fā ʻoku nau lue takai holo ʻi he loto afí ʻoku ʻikai ke haʻi kinautolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke hoko ha kovi kiate kinautolu, pea ko e tokotaha hono faá ʻokú ne hangē mai ko ha ʻalo ʻo e ngaahi ʻotuá.”
26 Naʻe fakaofiofi ʻa Nepukanesa ki he matapā ʻo e fōnise afi vela kakahá ʻo ne pehē atu: “ʻE Setaleki, Mēsake, mo ʻApitenikō, ʻa e kau sevāniti ʻa e ʻOtua Fungani Māʻolungá,+ mou hū mai ki tuʻa ʻo omi ki heni!” Naʻe hū mai ki tuʻa ʻa Setaleki, Mēsake, mo ʻApitenikō mei he loto afí. 27 Pea ko e kau situlape, kau ʻōfisa pule, kau kōvana, mo e kau ʻōfisa māʻolunga ʻa e tuʻí naʻe fakatahataha aí+ naʻa nau sio naʻe ʻikai ke uesia ʻe he afí ʻa e* sino ʻo e kau tangatá ni;+ naʻe ʻikai ke māngia hanau fulufuluʻiʻulu ʻe taha, naʻe ʻikai ke toe kehe ʻa honau pulupulú, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito haʻanau namu ʻohuafi.
28 Naʻe fakahaaʻi leva ʻe Nepukanesa: “Ke fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa e ʻOtua ʻo Setaleki, Mēsake, mo ʻApitenikoó,+ ʻa ia naʻá ne fekauʻi mai ʻene ʻāngeló ʻo ne fakahaofi ʻa ʻene kau sevānití. Naʻa nau falala kiate ia pea ʻikai te nau fai ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e tuʻí pea naʻa nau loto-lelei ke nau mate* kae ʻikai ke nau tauhi pe lotu ki ha toe ʻotua, tuku kehe pē ʻa honau ʻOtuá.+ 29 Ko ia ʻoku ou fai ai ha tuʻutuʻuni ke ʻilonga ha kakai, puleʻanga, pe kakai lea kehe te nau leaʻaki ha meʻa ʻoku kovi ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ʻOtua ʻo Setaleki, Mēsake, mo ʻApitenikoó ʻe tuʻutuʻu kongokonga kinautolu, pea ʻe fulihi honau ngaahi falé ke hoko ko e ngaahi fale mālōlō ki he kakaí;* he ʻoku ʻikai ha toe ʻotua kehe ʻoku malava ke faifakahaofi ʻo hangē ko e tokotaha ko ení.”+
30 Pea naʻe hanga ʻe he tuʻí ʻo hakeakiʻi* ʻa Setaleki, Mēsake, mo ʻApitenikō ʻi he vahefonua* ʻo Pāpiloné.+
