23 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Pēlami kia Pēlaki: “Fokotuʻu ʻi he potú ni ha ʻōlita ʻe fitu,+ pea teuteu ha pulu tangata ʻe fitu mo ha sipi tangata ʻe fitu maʻaku.” 2 Tuai-e-kemo naʻe fai ʻe Pēlaki ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ia naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Pēlamí. Pea naʻe feilaulauʻaki ʻe Pēlaki mo Pēlami ha pulu tangata mo ha sipi tangata ʻi he ʻōlita taki taha.+ 3 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Pēlami kia Pēlaki: “Nofo heni ʻi hoʻo veʻe feilaulau tutú ka u ʻalu au. Mahalo pē ʻe fetuʻutaki mai ʻa Sihova kiate au. Ko e hā pē ha meʻa te ne fakahā mai, te u tala atu ia kiate koe.” Ko ia naʻá ne ʻalu hake ki ha foʻi māʻolunga.
4 Pea naʻe fetuʻutaki ʻa e ʻOtuá mo Pēlami,+ ʻa ia naʻá ne pehē ange kiate Ia: “Kuó u fakaʻotu ʻa e ʻōlita ʻe fitu, pea kuó u feilaulauʻaki ha pulu tangata mo ha sipi tangata ʻi he ʻōlita taki taha.” 5 Naʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ʻa e leá ni ki he ngutu ʻo Pēlamí:+ “Foki kia Pēlaki, pea ko e meʻa eni te ke leaʻakí.” 6 Ko ia naʻá ne foki peá ne vakai atu kia Pēlaki mo e kotoa ʻo e kau māʻolunga ʻo Mōapé ʻoku nau tuʻu mai ʻi heʻene veʻe feilaulau tutú. 7 Naʻá ne leaʻaki leva ʻa e lea fakaefakatātā ko ení:+
“Kuo ʻomi au ʻe Pēlaki ko e tuʻi ʻo Mōapé mei ʻĒlami,+
Mei he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo e hahaké:
‘Haʻu ʻo fai maʻaku hano talatukiʻi ʻo Sēkope.
ʻIo, haʻu ke fakahalaiaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.’+
8 ʻE lava fēfē ke u talatukiʻi ʻa e faʻahinga kuo ʻikai talatukiʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá?
Pea ʻe lava fēfē ke u fakahalaiaʻi ʻa e faʻahinga kuo ʻikai ke fakahalaiaʻi+ ʻe Sihová?
9 Mei he funga maká ʻoku ou sio kiate kinautolu,
Pea mei he ngaahi foʻi māʻolungá ʻoku ou sio ai kiate kinautolu.
ʻI he tuʻunga ko ha kakaí ʻoku nau nofo mavahe+ pē ai ʻiate kinautolu;
ʻOku ʻikai te nau lau kinautolu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá.+
10 Ko hai ʻe lava ke ne lau ʻa e fuʻu kakai ʻo Sēkopé+ ʻa ia ʻoku hangē honau tokolahí ko e efú
Pe naʻa mo hano lau ʻa e vahe fā ʻe taha ʻo ʻIsilelí?
Tuku ke u mate ʻi he mateʻanga ʻo e anga-tonú,
Pea tuku ke hangē hoku ngataʻangá ko honau ngataʻangá.”
11 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Pēlaki kia Pēlami: “Ko e hā kuó ke fai mai kiate aú? Naʻá ku ʻomi koe ke talatukiʻi hoku ngaahi filí, pea ko eni kuo ʻikai te ke fai ʻe koe ha meʻa ka ko hono tāpuakiʻi pē kinautolu.”+ 12 Naʻá ne tali ange: “ʻIkai kuo pau ke u leaʻaki ha meʻa pē ʻoku ʻai ʻe Sihova ki hoku ngutú?”+
13 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Pēlaki kiate ia: “Haʻu muʻa ke ta ō ki ha toe feituʻu ʻe taha ʻa ia ʻe lava ke ke sio ai kiate kinautolu. Te ke sio ki ha konga pē ʻo kinautolu; heʻikai te ke sio kiate kinautolu kotoa. Ke ke fai mei ai maʻaku hano talatukiʻi ʻo kinautolu.”+ 14 Ko ia naʻá ne ʻave ia ki he manafa ʻo Sōfimí, ki he tumutumu ʻo Pisikaá,+ peá ne fokotuʻu ha ʻōlita ʻe fitu pea feilaulauʻaki ai ha pulu tangata mo ha sipi tangata ʻi he ʻōlita taki taha.+ 15 Ko ia naʻe pehē ange ʻe Pēlami kia Pēlaki: “Nofo heni ʻi hoʻo veʻe feilaulau tutú lolotonga ʻeku fetuʻutaki mo Ia ʻi he feituʻu ko eé.” 16 Pea naʻe fetuʻutaki ʻa Sihova mo Pēlami peá ne ʻai ʻa e lea ko ení ki hono ngutú:+ “Foki kia Pēlaki, pea ko e meʻa eni te ke leaʻakí.” 17 Ko ia naʻá ne haʻu kiate ia peá ne sio naʻá ne talitali ʻi heʻene veʻe feilaulau tutú, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa e kau māʻolunga ʻo Mōapé. Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe Pēlaki kiate ia: “Ko e hā kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihová?” 18 Naʻá ne leaʻaki leva ʻa e lea fakaefakatātā ko ení:+
“Tuʻu hake, ʻe Pēlaki, pea fanongo.
Fanongo mai kiate au, ʻa e foha ʻo Sīpoá.
19 Ko e ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻikai ko ha tangata ke loi,+
ʻI he taimi ʻokú ne folofolaʻaki ai ha meʻa, ʻikai te ne fai ia?
ʻI he taimi ʻokú ne folofola aí, ʻikai te ne fakahoko ia?+
20 Vakai, kuo ʻomi au ke u fai ha tāpuaki;
Ko eni kuó Ne fai ha tāpuaki,+ pea heʻikai lava ke u fakafoki ia.+
21 ʻOku ʻikai te ne kātakiʻi ha faʻahinga mālohi fakafaimana pē ke hoko ai ha kovi kia Sēkope,
Pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakaʻatā ha faʻahinga kovi pē ke hoko ki ʻIsileli.
Ko hono ʻOtua ko Sihová ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu,+
Pea ʻoku fakahīkihikiʻi leʻo-lahi ia ko e tuʻi ʻi honau lotolotongá.
22 ʻOku ʻomi kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá mei ʻIsipite.+
ʻOkú ne hangē ko e ongo meʻatui ʻo ha pulu tangata kaivaó kiate kinautolu.+
23 He ʻoku ʻikai ha ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻomi mala kia Sēkope,+
Pe ko ha vavalo kovi pē ʻe fai ki ʻIsileli.+
ʻI he taimi ko ení ʻe leaʻaki nai fekauʻaki mo Sēkope pea mo ʻIsileli:
‘Vakai atu ā ki he meʻa kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtuá!’
24 Ko ha kakai eni te nau mālanga hake hangē ha laioné,
Pea ʻi he hangē ko e laioné, te ne mālanga hake ʻiate ia pē.+
ʻE ʻikai te ne tokoto hifo kae ʻoua kuó ne kai ʻa e manu naʻá ne poó
Pea inu ʻa e toto ʻo ia kuo tāmateʻí.”
25 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Pēlaki kia Pēlami: “Kapau leva ʻoku ʻikai lava ke ke fai ha faʻahinga talatuki pē kiate ia, ta ʻoku totonu ā ke ʻoua te ke tāpuakiʻi ia.” 26 Naʻe tali ange ʻe Pēlami kia Pēlaki: “ʻIkai naʻá ku tala atu kiate koe, ‘Te u fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihová’?”+
27 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Pēlaki kia Pēlami: “Haʻu muʻa pea tuku ke u ʻave koe ki ha toe feituʻu ʻe taha. Mahalo pē ʻe totonu ai ʻi he vakai mai ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní ke ke fai mei ai maʻaku hano talatukiʻi ʻo ia.”+ 28 Ko ia naʻe ʻave ʻe Pēlaki ʻa Pēlami ki he tumutumu ʻo Peolí, ʻa ia ʻoku hanga ki Sesimoní.*+ 29 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Pēlami kia Pēlaki: “Fokotuʻu ha ʻōlita ʻe fitu ʻi he potú ni, pea teuteu ha pulu tangata ʻe fitu mo ha sipi tangata ʻe fitu maʻaku.”+ 30 Ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Pēlaki ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ia naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Pēlamí, pea naʻá ne feilaulauʻaki ha pulu tangata mo ha sipi tangata ʻi he ʻōlita taki taha.
