23 Ko e ngaahi lea fakaʻosi eni ʻa Tēvitá:+
“Ko e lea ʻa Tēvita ko e foha ʻo Sesé,+
Pea ko e lea ʻa e tangata naʻe hiki hake ʻo māʻolungá,+
Ko e pani+ ʻa e ʻOtua ʻo Sēkopé,
3 Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí;
Naʻe folofola mai ʻa e Makatuʻu ʻo ʻIsilelí+ kiate au:
‘ʻI he taimi ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ai ʻa e tokotaha ʻoku pule ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá,+
Pea pule ʻo manavahē ki he ʻOtuá,+
4 ʻOku hangē ia ko e maama pongipongi ʻi he ulo mai ʻa e laʻaá,+
Ko ha pongipongi ʻoku ʻikai ʻaoʻaofia.
ʻOku hangē ia ko e ulo maama mai ʻi he hili ʻa e ʻuhá,
ʻO ne ʻai ke tupu mai ʻa e mohukú ʻi he māmaní.’+
5 ʻIkai ʻoku pehē ʻa hoku falé ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá?
He kuó ne fai ha fuakava taʻengata mo au,+
ʻO fokotuʻutuʻu lelei ʻi he tafaʻaki kotoa pē pea mo pau.
Koeʻuhí ʻe iku ai ki hoku fakamoʻui kakató pea mo e kotoa ʻo ʻeku fiefiá,
ʻIkai ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻokú ne ʻai ai ia ke tupu maʻuiʻuí?+
6 Ka ko e kau tangata koto taʻeʻaongá ʻoku laku kotoa atu+ ʻo hangē ha ngaahi ʻakau talatalá,
He ʻoku ʻikai lava ke toʻo kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e nimá.
7 ʻI he ala ha tangata kiate kinautolú,
ʻOku totonu ke ʻi ai haʻane meʻangāue ukamea pea mo haʻane ʻesiaʻi-tao,
Pea ʻoku totonu ke tutu ʻosi kinautolu ʻi he afi ʻi honau feituʻú.”
8 Ko e hingoa eni ʻo e kau tangata ʻa Tēvita naʻe toʻa ʻi he taú:+ Ko Siosepi-pasipeti ko e tangata mei he kau Takimoní,* ko e taki ia ʻi he toko tolú.+ Naʻá ne veloʻi atu ʻene taó ʻo ne tāmateʻi ha toko 800 ʻi ha taimi ʻe taha. 9 Naʻe hoko atu ʻiate ia ʻa ʻEliesa,+ ko e foha ʻo Toto+ ko e foha ʻo ʻĀhoí, ʻa ia naʻe kau ʻi he kau toʻa ʻi he taú ʻe toko tolu ʻa ē naʻa nau ʻia Tēvita ʻi heʻenau manukiʻi ʻa e kau Filisitiá. Naʻe fakatahataha mai ki ai ʻa e kau Filisitiá ki he tau, pea ʻi he taimi naʻe holomui ai ʻa e kau tangata ʻo ʻIsilelí, 10 naʻá ne tuʻu hake ʻo ne hanganaki taaʻi ʻa e kau Filisitiá ʻo aʻu ki he mamate hono nimá pea naʻe fakafefeka hono nimá ʻi hono puke ʻa e heletaá.+ Ko ia naʻe ʻomi ai ʻe Sihova ha fuʻu ikuna* ʻi he ʻaho ko iá;+ pea naʻe foki ʻa e kakaí ʻo muimui kiate ia ke huʻi ʻa e ngaʻotoʻota ʻa e faʻahinga naʻe tāmateʻí.
11 Naʻe hoko atu ʻiate ia ʻa Sama ko e foha ʻo ʻEki mei Hālalí. Naʻe fakatahataha ʻa e kau Filisitiá ʻi Lehi, ʻa ia naʻe ʻi ai ha konga kelekele naʻe lahi ai ʻa e piini lenitilé; pea naʻe hola ʻa e kakaí koeʻuhí ko e kau Filisitiá. 12 Ka naʻá ne tuʻu hake ʻi he loto ngoué ʻo ne maluʻi ia peá ne hanganaki taaʻi ʻa e kau Filisitiá, ko ia naʻe ʻomi ai ʻe Sihova ha fuʻu ikuna.*+
13 Ko e toko tolu ʻi he kau tangata taki ʻe toko 30, naʻa nau ʻalu hifo he lolotonga ʻa e utu-taʻú kia Tēvita ki he ʻana ʻi ʻAtulamí,+ pea naʻe ʻi ai ha kau Filisitia naʻe ʻapitanga* ʻi he Teleʻa* ʻo Lifaimí.+ 14 Naʻe ʻi he toitoiʻangá+ ʻa Tēvita ʻi he taimi ko iá, pea naʻe ʻi ai ha nofoʻanga fakakautau ʻo e kau Filisitiá ʻi Pētelihema. 15 Pea naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Tēvita ʻene fakaʻamu: “Pehē ange mai ke u inu ha vai mei he lepa ʻoku ʻi he veʻe matapā ʻo e kolo ko Pētelihemá!” 16 Ko ia naʻe hū fakamālohi atu ai ʻa e kau toʻa ʻi he taú ʻe toko tolu ko ení ki he ʻapitanga ʻo e kau Filisitiá pea nau ohu mai ha vai mei he lepa ʻi he veʻe matapā ʻo e kolo ko Pētelihemá pea nau ʻomi ia kia Tēvita; ka naʻá ne fakafisi ke inu ia peá ne lilingi atu ia kia Sihova.+ 17 Naʻá ne pehē: “Mole ke mamaʻo, ʻe Sihova, haʻaku fakakaukau ke u fai ʻa e meʻá ni! Te u inu koā ʻa e toto+ ʻo e kau tangata naʻa nau ō neongo ʻene ʻi he tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki ʻenau moʻuí?” Ko ia naʻá ne fakafisi ke inu ia. Ko e ngaahi meʻa eni naʻe fai ʻe heʻene kau toʻa ʻi he taú ʻe toko tolú.
18 Ko ʻApisai+ ko e tokoua ʻo Sioapé ʻa e tama ʻa Seluvaiá+ ko e taki ia ʻo ha toe toko tolu kehe; naʻá ne veloʻi atu ʻene taó ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻa e toko 300, pea naʻá ne ongoongoa ʻo hangē ko e toko tolú.+ 19 Neongo ko ia naʻe tuʻu-ki-muʻa taha ʻi he toko tolu kehe ko ení pea ko ia ʻa honau ʻeikí, naʻe ʻikai ke aʻu hono tuʻungá ki he ʻuluaki toko tolú.
20 Ko Penaia+ ko e foha ʻo Sihoiatá ko ha tangata loto-lahi* ʻa ia naʻá ne fakahoko ha ngaahi ngāue loto-toʻa lahi ʻi Kapesili.+ Naʻá ne taaʻi ʻa e ongo foha ʻo ʻAlieli ʻo Mōapé, pea naʻá ne ʻalu hifo ki ha lepa ʻi ha ʻaho sinou ʻo ne tāmateʻi ha laione.+ 21 Naʻá ne taaʻi foki ha tangata ʻIsipite naʻe lahi anga-kehe. Neongo naʻe ʻi ai ha tao ʻa e tangata ʻIsipité ʻi hono nimá, naʻá ne ʻalu atu kiate ia mo ha tokotoko ʻo ne hamusi ʻa e taó mei he nima ʻo e tangata ʻIsipité peá ne tāmateʻi ia ʻaki pē ʻene taó. 22 Ko e ngaahi meʻa eni naʻe fai ʻe Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sihoiatá, pea naʻá ne ongoongoa ʻo hangē ko e toko tolu naʻe toʻa ʻi he taú. 23 Neongo naʻe toe hulu atu ʻene tuʻu-ki-muʻá ʻi he toko tolungofulú, naʻe ʻikai ke ne aʻu ki he tuʻunga ʻo e toko tolú. Kae kehe, naʻe fakanofo ia ʻe Tēvita ke ne pule ki heʻene kau kaʻate ʻaʻaná.
