Fakamaau
7 Ko Selupēali leva, ʻa ia ko Kitione ia,+ pea mo e kakai kotoa naʻe ʻiate iá naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengia hake ʻo nau ʻapitanga ʻi he Matavai ko Hālotí, lolotonga ia naʻe mei hono tafaʻaki fakatokelaú ʻa e ʻapitanga ʻo Mitianí ʻi he foʻi māʻolunga ko Molé ʻi he teleʻa lautoká.* 2 Naʻe folofola leva ʻa Sihova kia Kitione: “ʻOku fuʻu tokolahi ʻa e kakai ʻoku ʻiate koé ke u tuku atu ai ʻa Mitiani ki honau nimá.+ He ka pehē, ʻe pōlepole ʻa ʻIsileli ʻiate ia peá ne pehē mai ai kiate au, ‘Ko hoku nimá pē naʻá ne fakahaofi aú.’+ 3 Ke ke fanongonongo muʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻo e kakaí: ‘ʻIlonga ʻa ia ʻoku ilifia mo teteteté, tuku ke ne foki ki ʻapi.’”+ Ko ia naʻe siviʻi kinautolu ʻe Kitione. Pea naʻe foki ʻa e toko 22,000 ʻo e kakaí, kae toe pē ʻa e toko 10,000.
4 Ka naʻe kei folofola pē ʻa Sihova kia Kitione: “ʻOku kei fuʻu tokolahi pē ʻa e kakaí. ʻAi ke nau ʻalu hifo ki he vaí ka u siviʻi ai kinautolu maʻau. ʻI heʻeku pehē kiate koe, ‘Ko e tokotaha eni ʻe ʻalu mo koé,’ ʻe ʻalu leva ia mo koe, ka ʻi heʻeku pehē kiate koe, ‘Ko e tokotahá ni ʻe ʻikai ʻalu fakataha mo koe,’ ʻe ʻikai leva te ne ʻalu.” 5 Ko ia naʻá ne ʻohifo ʻa e kakaí ki he vaí.
Naʻe folofola leva ʻa Sihova kia Kitione: “Fakamavaheʻi ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē ʻokú ne hepo hake ʻa e vaí ʻo hangē ko e hepo ʻa ha kulií, mei he faʻahinga ʻoku nau tūʻulutui hifo ke inú.” 6 Ko e tokolahi ʻo e faʻahinga naʻa nau hepo hake ʻa e vaí, ʻo nau ʻai honau nimá ki honau ngutú, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko 300. Ko e toenga ʻo e kakaí naʻa nau tūʻulutui hifo ke inu.
7 Naʻe folofola ange leva ʻa Sihova kia Kitione: “Te u fakahaofi kimoutolu ʻaki ʻa e kau tangata ʻe toko 300 naʻa nau hepo ʻa e vaí, pea te u tuku atu ʻa Mitiani ki ho nimá.+ Kae tuku ange ʻa e toenga kotoa ko ē ʻo e kakaí ke nau foki ki ʻapi.” 8 Ko ia ʻi he hili ʻenau toʻo ʻa e ngaahi ʻohó mo e ngaahi meʻaifí mei he kakaí, naʻá ne fekauʻi ʻa e kau tangata kotoa ko ē ʻo ʻIsilelí ke nau foki ki ʻapi, pea naʻá ne tuku pē ʻa e kau tangata ʻe toko 300. Ko e ʻapitanga ʻo Mitianí naʻe ʻi lalo hifo ia ʻiate ia ʻi he teleʻa lautoká.+
9 Lolotonga ʻa e pō ko iá, naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia: “Tuʻu hake, pea ʻohofi ʻa e ʻapitangá, he kuó u tuku atu ia ki ho nimá.+ 10 Ka ʻo kapau ʻokú ke ilifia ke ʻohofi, ʻalu hifo ki he ʻapitangá mo Fiula ko ho tauhí. 11 Fakafanongo atu ki heʻenau talanoá, pea ʻi he hili iá te ke maʻu ai ʻa e loto-toʻa* ke ʻohofi ʻa e ʻapitangá.” Ko ia naʻá ne ʻalu hifo mo Fiula ko hono tauhí ki he ngataʻanga ʻo e ʻapitanga taú.
12 Pea ko Mitiani mo ʻAmaleki pea mo e kotoa ʻo e kau Hahaké+ naʻa nau ʻufiʻufi ʻa e teleʻa lautoká ʻo hangē ha fuʻu pupunga heʻé, pea naʻe ʻikai lava ke lau+ ʻenau fanga kāmelí, naʻe hangē honau tokolahí ko e ʻoneʻone ʻi he matātahí. 13 Naʻe ʻalu atu leva ʻa Kitione, pea tā naʻe ʻi ai ha tangata naʻá ne fakamatala ha misi ki hano kaungāmeʻa, ʻo ne pehē: “Ko eni ʻa ʻeku misí. Naʻe ʻi ai ha foʻi mā paʻale fuopotopoto naʻe teka mai ki he ʻapitanga ʻo Mitianí. Naʻe ʻalu hifo ia ki ha tēniti ʻo ne taaʻi lahi ia ʻo holo.+ ʻIo, naʻá ne fulihi ʻa e tēnití, pea naʻe holofa ai ʻa e tēnití.” 14 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ange ai ʻe hono kaungāmeʻá: “Ko e heletā pē eni ia ʻa Kitione+ ko e foha ʻo Sōasí, ko ha tangata ʻo ʻIsileli. Kuo tuku ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa Mitiani mo e kotoa ʻo e ʻapitangá ki hono nimá.”+
15 ʻI he fanongo atu pē ʻa Kitione ki heʻene fakamatala ʻa e misí mo hono ʻuhingá,+ naʻá ne punou hifo ke fai ha lotu. ʻI he hili iá, naʻá ne foki ki he ʻapitanga ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻo ne pehē: “Tuʻu hake, he kuo tuku atu ʻe Sihova ʻa e ʻapitanga ʻo Mitianí ki homou nimá.” 16 Naʻá ne vahe leva ʻa e kau tangata ʻe toko 300 ki he kulupu ʻe tolu pea ʻoange kiate kinautolu kotoa ha ngaahi meʻaifi+ mo ha ngaahi fuʻu ngeʻesi siā ʻoku ʻi loto ai ha tūhulu. 17 Naʻá ne pehē ange leva kiate kinautolu: “Mou siofi au pea fai ʻa e meʻa tofu pē te u faí. ʻI heʻeku aʻu atu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo e ʻapitangá, te mou fai ʻa e meʻa tofu pē te u faí. 18 ʻI heʻeku ifi ʻa e meʻaifí, ʻe au mo e kotoa ʻo e faʻahinga ʻiate aú, kuo pau foki ke mou ifi ʻa e ngaahi meʻaifí ʻi he ʻapitangá takatakai kotoa pea mou kaila, ‘Maʻa Sihova pea maʻa Kitione!’”
19 Naʻe aʻu ʻa Kitione mo e kau tangata ʻe toko 100 naʻe ʻiate iá ki he ngataʻanga ʻo e ʻapitangá ʻi he kamata ʻa e uasi hono ua ʻo e poó,* ʻi he hili siʻi atu pē hono fetongi ʻa e kau leʻó. Naʻa nau ifi ʻa e ngaahi meʻaifí+ pea haʻaki ʻa e ngaahi fuʻu siā vai naʻe ʻi honau nimá.+ 20 Ko ia naʻe ifi ʻe he ngaahi kulupu ʻe tolú ʻa e ngaahi meʻaifí pea nau haʻaki ʻo momo ʻa e ngaahi fuʻu siaá. Naʻa nau puke ʻa e ngaahi tūhulú ʻi honau nima toʻohemá pea ifi ʻa e ngaahi meʻaifí ʻi honau nima toʻomataʻú pea nau kaila: “Ko e heletā ʻa Sihová pea mo Kitione!” 21 Lolotonga ení naʻe tuʻu ʻa e tangata taki taha ʻi hono tuʻuʻanga ʻi he ʻapitangá takatakai kotoa, pea naʻe feholaki ʻa e kau taú kotoa, ʻo nau kaikaila pē mo hola.+ 22 Naʻe hokohoko atu pē ʻa e ifi ʻe he toko 300 ʻa e ngaahi meʻaifí, pea naʻe fakahanga ʻe Sihova ʻa e heletā ʻa e tangata taki taha ki he tokotaha ko eé ʻi he ʻapitangá kotoa;+ pea naʻe feholaki ʻa e kau taú ʻo aʻu ki Pete-sita, pea ki Selela, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻĒpeli-mehola+ ofi ki Tāpatí.
23 Pea naʻe ui fakataha mai ʻa e kau tangata ʻo ʻIsilelí mei Nafitalai, ʻĀseli, mo Manase kotoa,+ pea naʻa nau tulimui atu ki Mitiani. 24 Naʻe fekauʻi atu ʻe Kitione ha kau talafekau ki he kotoa ʻo e feituʻu moʻungaʻia ʻo ʻIfalemí, ʻo pehē: “Mou ʻalu hifo ʻo ʻohofi ʻa Mitiani, pea puke ʻa e hūʻanga ki he ngaahi vaí ʻo aʻu ki Pete-pala mo Sioatani.” Ko ia naʻe fakatahatahaʻi mai leva ʻa e kau tangata kotoa ʻo ʻIfalemí, pea naʻa nau puke ʻa e ngaahi vaí ʻo aʻu ki Pete-pala pea mo Sioatani. 25 Naʻa nau puke foki mo e ongo ʻeiki ʻo Mitiani, ko ʻŌlepi mo Siipi; naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻa ʻŌlepi ʻi he maka ʻo ʻŌlepí,+ pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻa Siipi ʻi he tataʻoʻanga uaine ʻo Sīpí. Naʻe hokohoko atu ai pē ʻenau tuli ʻa Mitianí,+ pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻa e ʻulu ʻo ʻŌlepi mo Sīpí kia Kitione ki he feituʻu Sioataní.
