5 ʻI he fekauʻaki mo Tuʻi Pelisasá,+ naʻá ne fai ha fuʻu kātoanga kai ki ha toko taha afe ʻo ʻene kau houʻeikí, pea naʻá ne inu uaine ʻi honau ʻaó.+ 2 Lolotonga ʻene uaineʻiá, naʻe fai ʻe Pelisasa ha tuʻutuʻuni ke ʻomi ʻa e ngaahi ipu koula mo e ipu siliva naʻe toʻo ʻe heʻene tamai ko Nepukanesá mei he temipale ʻi Selusalemá,+ ke inu ai ʻa e tuʻí mo ʻene kau houʻeikí, mo hono ngaahi uaifí mo ʻene kau sinifú. 3 Naʻa nau ʻomi leva ʻa e ngaahi ipu koula naʻe toʻo mei he temipale ʻi he fale ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi Selusalemá, pea naʻe inu mei ai ʻa e tuʻí mo ʻene kau houʻeikí, mo hono ngaahi uaifí mo ʻene kau sinifú. 4 Naʻa nau inu uaine, pea nau fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻotua koula mo siliva, kopa, ukamea, ʻakau, pea mo e maká.
5 ʻI he mōmeniti pē ko iá naʻe hā mai ha louhiʻinima ʻo e nima ʻo ha tangata ʻo kamata tohi ʻi he holisi ʻo e palasi ʻo e tuʻí ʻo ofi ki he tuʻunga-māmá, pea naʻe malava ke sio ʻa e tuʻí ki he tuʻa nimá ʻi he lolotonga ʻene tohí. 6 Pea naʻe tea mate ʻa e tuʻí* pea naʻe fakamanavaheeʻi ia ʻe heʻene fakakaukaú, pea naʻe tete+ ʻa hono ongo alangá pea kamata ke fetāʻaki ʻa hono ongo tuí.
7 Naʻe kaila leʻo-lahi atu ʻa e tuʻí ke ui mai ʻa e kau kikité, mo e kau Kalitiá,* pea mo e kau vavalo ki he fetuʻú.*+ Naʻe pehē leva ʻe he tuʻí ki he kau tangata poto ʻo Pāpiloné: “ʻIlonga ha tangata te ne lau mai ʻa e tohinimá ni ʻo tala mai ʻa hono ʻuhingá ʻe fakakofu lanu vāleti ia, pea ʻe ʻai ha kahoa koula ki hono kiá,+ pea te ne hoko ko e pule hono tolu ʻi he puleʻangá.”+
8 Naʻe haʻu kotoa leva ʻa e kau tangata poto ʻa e tuʻí, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau lava ʻo lau ʻa e tohinimá pe fakaʻilo ʻa hono ʻuhingá ki he tuʻí.+ 9 Ko ia naʻe mātuʻaki manavahē ʻa Tuʻi Pelisasa pea tea mate ʻa hono fofongá; pea naʻe moʻutāfuʻua ʻa ʻene kau houʻeikí.+
10 Koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi lea ʻa e tuʻí mo ʻene kau houʻeikí, naʻe hū mai ai ʻa e kuiní ki he holo naʻe fai ai ʻa e kātoanga kaí. Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he kuiní: “ʻE hoʻo ʻAfio, ʻofa ke ke lākoifie ʻo taʻengata. ʻOua ʻe tuku ke fakamanavaheeʻi koe ʻe hoʻo fakakaukaú, pea ʻoua ʻe tuku ke tea mate ho fofongá. 11 ʻOku ʻi ai ha tangata* ʻi ho puleʻangá ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ngaahi ʻotua toputapú. ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo tamaí, naʻe maʻu ʻiate ia ʻa e maama mo e vavanga fakaefakakaukau pea mo e poto ʻo hangē ko e poto ʻo e ngaahi ʻotuá.+ Naʻe fakanofo ia ʻe hoʻo tamai ko Tuʻi Nepukanesá ke hoko ko e pule ʻo e kau taulaʻeiki faimaná, mo e kau kikité, mo e kau Kalitiá,* pea mo e kau vavalo ki he fetuʻú;+ naʻe fai eni ʻe hoʻo tamaí, ʻe hoʻo ʻAfio. 12 He ko Taniela, ʻa ia naʻe ui ʻe he tuʻí ko Pelitisasá,+ naʻá ne maʻu ha laumālie makehe atu mo e ʻilo mo e vavanga fakaefakakaukau ke fakaʻuhinga misi, ke ne fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ngaahi tupuʻá, pea ke ne vete ʻa e ngaahi palopalema fihí.*+ Ko ia tuku ke ui mai ʻa Taniela, pea te ne tala atu kiate koe ʻa hono ʻuhingá.”
13 Ko ia naʻe ʻomi ʻa Taniela ki he ʻao ʻo e tuʻí. Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe he tuʻí kia Taniela: “Ko Taniela koe mei he kau ʻomi fakamālohi mei Siutá,+ ʻa ia naʻe ʻomi ʻe heʻeku tamai ko e tuʻí mei Siutá?+ 14 Kuó u fanongo fekauʻaki mo koe ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ngaahi ʻotuá+ pea kuo maʻu ʻiate koe ʻa e fakamaama mo e vavanga fakaefakakaukau mo e poto makehe atu.+ 15 Ko eni, naʻe ʻomi ki hoku ʻaó ʻa e kau tangata potó mo e kau kikité ke nau lau ʻa e tohinimá ni pea ke fakaʻilo mai kiate au ʻa hono ʻuhingá, ka ʻoku ʻikai te nau malava ke tala mai ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e pōpoakí.+ 16 Ka kuó u fanongo ʻo fekauʻaki mo koe ʻokú ke malava ke ʻomai ʻa e ʻuhingá+ pea ke vete ʻa e ngaahi palopalema fihí.* Ko ia kapau ʻokú ke malava ke lau ʻa e tohinimá mo fakaʻilo mai kiate au ʻa hono ʻuhingá, ʻe fakakofu lanu vāleti koe, pea ʻe ʻai ha kahoa koula ki ho kiá, pea te ke hoko ko e pule hono tolu ʻi he puleʻangá.”+
17 Naʻe tali ange leva ʻe Taniela ki he tuʻí: “Maʻu pē muʻa ʻe koe ʻa hoʻo ngaahi meʻaʻofá pea foaki ʻa hoʻo ngaahi meʻaʻofá ki he niʻihi kehé. Kae kehe, te u lau ʻa e tohinimá ki hoʻo ʻAfió pea fakaʻilo ʻa hono ʻuhingá kiate koe. 18 Ko e meʻa kiate koé, ʻe hoʻo ʻAfio, naʻe tuku ʻe he ʻOtua Fungani Māʻolungá kia Nepukanesa ko hoʻo tamaí ʻa e puleʻanga mo e tuʻunga lahi mo e lāngilangi pea mo e ngeia.+ 19 Koeʻuhi ko e tuʻunga lahi naʻá Ne ʻoange kiate iá, ko e ngaahi kakai kotoa pē, ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e ngaahi kakai lea kehekehé naʻa nau tete ʻi he manavahē ʻi hono ʻaó.+ Naʻá ne tāmateʻi pe tuku ke moʻui ha taha pē naʻá ne loto ki ai, pea naʻá ne hakeakiʻi pe fakamaaʻi+ ha taha pē naʻá ne loto ki ai. 20 Ka ʻi he taimi naʻe hīkisia ai ʻa hono lotó pea fakafefeka ʻa hono laumālié, ʻo ne fai ai ha tōʻonga ʻafungí,+ naʻe fakahifo ia mei he taloni ʻo hono puleʻangá, pea naʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻa hono ngeiá. 21 Naʻe kapusi ia mei he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, pea naʻe ʻai ʻa hono lotó ke hangē ko e loto ʻo ha manu, pea naʻá ne nofo fakataha mo e fanga ʻasi kaivaó. Naʻe ʻoange kiate ia ʻa e mohuku ke ne kai ʻo hangē ko e fanga pulú, pea naʻe viviku ʻa hono sinó ʻi he hahau ʻo e langí, kae ʻoua kuó ne toki ʻiloʻi ko e ʻOtua Fungani Māʻolungá ʻa e Pule ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá pea ʻokú ne fakanofo ki ai ha taha pē ʻokú ne loto ki ai.+
22 “Ka ko koe, ʻe Pelisasa ko hono fohá, kuo ʻikai te ke fakatōkilaloʻi ho lotó, neongo naʻá ke ʻilo ʻa e meʻá ni hono kotoa. 23 ʻI hono kehé, naʻá ke hakeakiʻi koe ʻo ke fakafepaki ki he ʻEiki ʻo e langí,+ pea naʻá ke ʻai ke nau ʻomai kiate koe ʻa e ngaahi ipu ʻi hono falé.+ Pea ko koe mo hoʻo kau houʻeikí, mo ho ngaahi uaifí mo hoʻo kau sinifú naʻa mou inu uaine ai mo fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻotua siliva mo koula, kopa, ukamea, ʻakau, pea mo e maká, ʻa e ngaahi ʻotua ʻoku ʻikai lava ke nau sio pe fanongo pe ʻilo ha meʻa ʻe taha.+ Ka kuo ʻikai te ke fakalāngilangiʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi hono nimá ʻa hoʻo mānavá+ mo e kotoa ho ngaahi ʻalungá. 24 Ko ia naʻe fekauʻi mai ʻa e nimá meiate ia, pea naʻe tohi ʻaki ia ʻa e tohinima ko ení. + 25 Pea ko e tohinima eni naʻe tohí: MINE, MINE, TIKELI, mo e PASINI.
26 “Ko e ʻuhinga eni ʻo e ngaahi foʻi leá: MINE, kuo lau ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ho puleʻangá pea kuó ne fakangata ia.+
27 “TIKELI, kuo fua koe ʻi he meʻafuá pea ʻilo ʻokú ke taʻefeʻunga.
28 “PESI,* kuo vahevahe ho puleʻangá pea kuo foaki ia ki he kau Mītiá mo e kau Pēsiá.”+
29 Naʻe fai leva ʻe Pelisasa ha tuʻutuʻuni, pea naʻa nau fakakofu lanu vāleti ʻa Taniela pea ʻai ha kahoa koula ki hono kiá; pea naʻa nau fai ha fanongonongo ʻo fekauʻaki mo ia te ne hoko ko e pule hono tolu ʻi he puleʻangá.+
30 ʻI he pō pē ko iá naʻe tāmateʻi+ ai ʻa Pelisasa ko e tuʻi Kalitiá. 31 Pea naʻe maʻu ʻa e puleʻangá ʻe Talaiasi+ ko e Mītiá; naʻá ne taʻu 62 nai.
