ʻUluaki Sāmiuela
1 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ha tangata mei Lamataimi-sofimi*+ ʻo e feituʻu moʻungaʻia ʻo ʻIfalemí+ ʻa ia ko hono hingoá ko ʻElikena,+ ko e foha ʻo Seloami, ko e foha ʻo ʻIlaiū, ko e foha ʻo Tohu, ko e foha ʻo Sufi, ko ha ʻIfalemi. 2 Naʻe ʻi ai hono uaifi ʻe toko ua; ko e taha ko hono hingoá ko ʻAna, pea ko e taha ko hono hingoá ko Pēnina. Ko Pēniná naʻe ʻi ai ʻene fānau, ka ko ʻAná naʻe ʻikai haʻane fānau. 3 Ko e tangata ko iá naʻá ne ʻalu hake mei hono koló ʻi he taʻu ki he taʻu ke lotu* pea ke feilaulau kia Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau taú ʻi Sailo.+ Ko e feituʻu ia naʻe ngāue ai ʻa e ongo foha ʻo ʻĪlaí, ʻa Hofinai mo Fineasi,+ ko e ongo taulaʻeiki kia Sihova.+
4 ʻI he ʻaho ʻe taha ʻi he taimi naʻe fai ai ʻe ʻElikena ha feilaulaú, naʻá ne ʻoange ai ha ngaahi ʻinasi ki hono uaifi ko Pēniná pea pehē ki heʻene fānau tangatá mo ʻene fānau fefiné+ kotoa, 5 ka naʻá ne ʻoange kia ʻAna ha ʻinasi makehe, koeʻuhí ko ʻAna ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne ʻofa aí; ka naʻe ʻikai ʻoange ha fānau kiate ia* ʻe Sihova. 6 ʻIkai ngata aí, ko e uaifi ʻe tahá naʻá ne lumaʻi taʻetuku ia ke ʻai ke ne loto-mamahi koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai ke ʻoange ʻe Sihova kiate ia ha fānau. 7 Ko e meʻa ia naʻá ne toutou fai ʻi he taʻu ki he taʻu; ʻi he taimi pē naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa ʻAna ki he fale ʻo Sihová,+ naʻe manukiʻi lahi ia ʻe he uaifi ʻe tahá ʻo aʻu ki heʻene tangi pea ʻikai te ne kai. 8 Ka naʻe pehē ange ʻe ʻElikena ko hono husepānití kiate ia: “ʻAna, ko e hā ʻokú ke tangi aí, pea ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te ke kaí, pea ko e hā ʻokú ke fuʻu loto-mamahi aí?* ʻIkai ʻoku ou lelei ange kiate koe ʻi ha ngaahi foha ʻe toko hongofulu?”
9 Naʻe tuʻu hake leva ʻa ʻAna ʻi he ʻosi ʻenau kai mo inu ʻi Sailó. ʻI he taimi ko iá, naʻe tangutu ai ʻa ʻĪlai ko e taulaʻeikí ʻi he nofoʻanga naʻe ofi ki he pou matapā ʻo e temipale*+ ʻo Sihová. 10 Naʻe mātuʻaki loto-mamahi ʻa ʻAna, pea naʻe kamata ke ne lotu kia Sihova+ pea tangi ʻo ʻikai ke toe mataʻofi. 11 Pea naʻá ne fai ʻa e fuakava ko ení: “ʻE Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, kapau te ke vakai mai ki he faingataʻaʻia ʻa hoʻo sevānití pea manatuʻi au ʻo ʻikai ngalo ʻiate koe ʻa hoʻo sevānití pea foaki ki hoʻo sevānití ha tama tangata,+ te u foaki ia kia Sihova ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa ʻo ʻene moʻuí, pea ʻe ʻikai ke pā ha tele ki hono ʻulú.”+
12 Lolotonga ʻene lotu lōloa ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová, naʻe siofi ʻe ʻĪlai ʻa hono ngutú. 13 Naʻe lea loto pē ʻa ʻAna, ko hono loungutú pē naʻe ngaué, ka naʻe ʻikai ongona ʻa hono leʻó. Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe ʻĪlai ʻokú ne konā. 14 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe ʻĪlai kiate ia: “ʻE ʻosi koā ʻafē hoʻo konaá? Tuku ā hoʻo inu uainé.” 15 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe tali ange ai ʻe ʻAna: “ʻIkai, ʻe hoku ʻeiki! Ko ha fefine loto-mafasia lahi au; kuo ʻikai ke u inu uaine pe ko ha inu ʻolokaholo pē, ka ʻoku ou lilingi atu ʻa hoku lotó ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová.+ 16 ʻOua naʻá ke pehē ko ha fefine taʻeʻaonga ʻa hoʻo sevānití, he ʻoku aʻu mai ki he taimí ni mo ʻeku lea ʻi he mamahi mo e faingataʻaʻia lahi.” 17 Naʻe tali ange leva ʻe ʻĪlai: “ʻAlu ʻi he fiemālie, pea ʻofa ke tali ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻa e fakatangi kuó ke fai kiate iá.”+ 18 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻá ne pehē ange ai: “ʻOfa ke ke leleiʻia ʻi hoʻo sevānití.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa e fefiné ʻo ne kai, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne kei mata mamahi.
19 Pea naʻa nau tuʻu pongipongia hake ʻo punou ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová, ʻi he hili iá, naʻa nau foki ki honau falé ʻi Lama.+ Naʻe mohe* ʻa ʻElikena mo hono uaifi ko ʻAná, pea naʻe fai ha tokanga kiate* ia+ ʻe Sihova. 20 ʻI loto ʻi ha taʻu ʻe taha* naʻe hoko ai ʻa ʻAna ʻo feitama peá ne fanauʻi ha tama pea fakahingoa+ ia ko Sāmiuela,* koeʻuhí, fakatatau ki heʻene leá, “ko Sihova ia naʻá ku kole ia ki aí.”
21 Faifai atu pē naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa ʻElikena mo hono fāmilí kotoa ke ʻohake ʻa e feilaulau fakataʻú kia Sihova+ pea ke foaki ʻa ʻene feilaulau fuakavá. 22 Ka naʻe ʻikai ke ʻalu+ ʻa ʻAna, he naʻá ne pehē ki hono husepānití: “ʻI hono mavae pē ʻa e tamasiʻí, te u ʻoatu ia; pea te ne hā ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová peá ne nofo ai pē ʻi he taimi ko iá ʻo faai atu.”+ 23 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe ʻElikena ko hono husepānití kiate ia: “Fai ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ke pehē ʻoku lelei tahá.* Nofo pē ʻi ʻapi kae ʻoua kuó ke mavae ia. ʻOfa ke fakahoko ʻe Sihova ʻa e meʻa kuó ke leaʻakí.” Ko ia naʻe nofo ʻa e fefiné ʻi ʻapi ʻo tauhi ʻa ʻene tamá ʻo aʻu ki heʻene mavaeʻi ia.
24 ʻI heʻene mavaeʻi pē iá, naʻá ne ʻave ia ki Sailo, fakataha mo ha pulu taʻu tolu, ko e efa* mahoaʻa ʻe taha, pea mo ha fuʻu siā uaine,+ pea naʻá ne ʻalu ki he fale ʻo Sihová ʻi Sailo+ peá ne ʻalu mo e kiʻi tamasiʻí. 25 Naʻa nau tāmateʻi leva ʻa e pulú pea ʻomi ʻa e tamasiʻí kia ʻĪlai. 26 Ko ia naʻá ne pehē ange: “Kātaki pē, ʻe hoku ʻeiki! ʻOku ou fakapapauʻi atu kiate koe, ʻe hoku ʻeiki, ko au ʻa e fefine naʻe tuʻu mo koe ʻi he feituʻú ni ke fai ha lotu kia Sihová.+ 27 Ko e tamasiʻi ko ení naʻe fai ai ʻeku lotú, pea naʻe tali ʻe Sihova ʻa e fakatangi naʻá ku fai kiate iá.+ 28 Ko ia, ko au eni ʻoku ou foaki atu ia kia Sihova. ʻI hono ngaahi ʻahó kotoa, ʻoku foaki atu ai ia kia Sihova.”
Pea naʻá ne* punou hifo ai kia Sihova.
