5 ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Hēlota,*+ ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuteá, naʻe ʻi ai ha taulaʻeiki mei he vāhenga ʻo ʻĀpaiá+ ko hono hingoá ko Sākalaia. Ko hono uaifí mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo ʻĒloné, pea ko hono hingoá ko ʻIlisapesi. 6 Naʻá na māʻoniʻoni fakatouʻosi ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻo na ʻaʻeva taʻemele ʻo fakatatau ki he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi fekau mo e ngaahi fiemaʻu fakalao ʻa Sihová.* 7 Ka naʻe ʻikai haʻana tama, koeʻuhi naʻe paʻa ʻa ʻIlisapesi, pea naʻá na fakatou motuʻa.

8 ʻI heʻene ngāue ko ia ko e taulaʻeiki ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he ngafa ʻo e vāhenga naʻe kau ki aí,+ 9 ʻo fakatatau ki he ouau* anga-maheni ʻo e tuʻunga taulaʻeiki kuo ʻosi fokotuʻú, naʻe hoko mai eni ki hono taimi ke ne tutu ʻinisēnisi ai+ ʻi heʻene hū ki he feituʻu toputapu ʻo Sihová.*+ 10 Pea ko e kotoa ʻo e fuʻu kakaí naʻa nau lotu ʻi tuʻa ʻi he houa ʻo e tutu ʻinisēnisí. 11 Naʻe hā kiate ia ʻa e ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová,* ʻo tuʻu ʻi he tafaʻaki toʻomataʻu ʻo e ʻōlita ʻo e ʻinisēnisí. 12 Ka naʻe hoko ʻo hohaʻatuʻu ʻa Sākalaia ʻi heʻene sio ki aí, pea naʻá ne mātuʻaki manavahē. 13 Kae kehe, naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngeló kiate ia: “ʻOua ʻe ilifia, Sākalaia, koeʻuhi kuo ongona mo fai ʻa e hōifua ki hoʻo hū tōtōakí, pea ko ho uaifi ko ʻIlisapesí te ne fanauʻi kiate koe ha foha, pea te ke fakahingoa ia ko Sione.+ 14 Te ke fiefia mo mātuʻaki tomeʻe pea ʻe nēkeneka ʻa e tokolahi ʻi hono fanauʻí,+ 15 he te ne hoko ko e lahi ʻi he vakai ʻa Sihová.*+ Ka kuo pau ke ʻoua ʻaupito te ne inu ha uaine pe ko ha faʻahinga inu ʻolokaholo pē,+ pea te ne fonu ʻi he laumālie māʻoniʻoní naʻa mo e ki muʻa ʻi hono fāʻeleʻí,*+ 16 pea te ne fakatafoki mai ha tokolahi ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí kia Sihova* ko honau ʻOtuá.+ 17 Pehē foki, te ne muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia* ʻi he laumālie mo e mālohi ʻo ʻIlaisiaá,+ ke fakatafoki ʻa e loto ʻo e ngaahi tamaí ki he fānaú+ pea mo e kau talangataʻá ki he poto ʻaonga ʻa e kau māʻoniʻoní, koeʻuhi ke teuʻi maʻa Sihova* ha kakai kuo mateuteu.”+

18 Naʻe pehē ʻe Sākalaia ki he ʻāngeló: “ʻE lava fēfē ke u fakapapauʻi ʻa e meʻá ni? He ʻoku ou taʻumotuʻa, pea kuo motuʻa mo hoku uaifí.” 19 ʻI he tali ki aí naʻe pehē ange ʻe he ʻāngeló kiate ia: “Ko Kepaleli au,+ ʻa ia ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá,+ pea naʻe fekauʻi mai au ke u lea kiate koe pea ke tala atu ʻa e ongoongo leleí ni kiate koe. 20 Kae vakai, te ke longo ʻo ʻikai malava ke ke lea kae ʻoua ke aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻe hoko ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ke tui ki heʻeku leá, ʻa ia ʻe fakahoko ʻi hono taimi kuo kotofá.” 21 Lolotonga iá, naʻe kei tatali ʻa e kakaí kia Sākalaia, pea naʻa nau ʻohovale ʻi heʻene nofo ʻo fuʻu fuoloa ʻi he feituʻu toputapú. 22 ʻI heʻene hū mai ki tuʻá, naʻe ʻikai malava ke ne lea kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa nau mahinoʻi naʻá ne toki sió ni ki ha meʻa anga-kehe* ʻi he feituʻu toputapú. Naʻá ne toutou talanoa tuhutuhu kiate kinautolu he naʻá ne noa. 23 ʻI he kakato ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene faifatongia ʻi hono ngafa toputapú, naʻá ne ʻalu ki hono ʻapí.

24 ʻI ha ngaahi ʻaho ki mui ai naʻe hoko ʻa ʻIlisapesi ko hono uaifí ʻo feitama, pea naʻá ne hanganaki nofo fale ʻi he māhina ʻe nima, ʻi he pehē: 25 “Ko e anga ʻeni ʻa e fakafeangai ʻa Sihova* kiate au ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ʻení. Kuó ne fai mai ha tokanga kiate au ke toʻo atu hoku manukiaʻanga ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kakaí.”+

26 ʻI heʻene māhina onó, naʻe fekauʻi mai ai ʻa e ʻāngelo ko Kepalelí+ mei he ʻOtuá ki ha kolo ʻo Kāleli naʻe ui ko Nāsaleti, 27 ki ha tāupoʻou*+ kuo fakamaʻu ke mali mo ha tangata ko hono hingoá ko Siosifa mei he fale ʻo Tēvitá, pea ko e hingoa ʻo e tāupoʻoú ko Mele.+ 28 Pea ʻi he aʻu atu ʻa e ʻāngeló, naʻá ne pehē kiate ia: “Mālō e lelei, ʻa e tokotaha kuo ʻofeina lahí, ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova.”* 29 Ka naʻá ne hohaʻa lahi ʻi heʻene leá peá ne feinga ke mahinoʻi pe ʻoku ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e faʻahinga fakafeʻiloaki ko ení. 30 Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngeló kiate ia: “ʻOua ʻe ilifia Mele, he kuo hōifua ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate koe. 31 Pea, vakai, te ke hoko ʻo feitama* pea te ke fāʻeleʻi mai ha tama tangata,+ pea te ke fakahingoa ia ko Sīsū.+ 32 ʻE hoko ʻa e tokotahá ni ko e lahi+ pea ʻe ui ia ko e ʻAlo ʻo e Fungani Māʻolungá,+ pea ko Sihova* ko e ʻOtuá te ne ʻoange kiate ia ʻa e taloni ʻo Tēvita ko ʻene tamaí,+ 33 pea te ne pule ko e Tuʻi ki he fale ʻo Sēkopé ʻo taʻengata, pea ko hono Puleʻangá ʻe ʻikai hano ngataʻanga.”+

34 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Mele ki he ʻāngeló: “ʻE anga-fēfē ha hoko ʻa e meʻá ni, he kuo teʻeki ai ke u mohe* mo ha tangata?”+ 35 ʻI he tali ki aí naʻe pehē ange ʻe he ʻāngeló kiate ia: “ʻE hoko mai kiate koe ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní,+ pea ʻe fakamalumalu koe ʻe he mālohi ʻo e Fungani Māʻolungá. Pea ʻi he ʻuhinga ko iá, ko e tokotaha ʻe fanauʻí ʻe lau ia ʻoku māʻoniʻoni,+ ko e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá.+ 36 Pea vakai, ko ʻIlisapesi ko ho kāingá kuó ne tuʻituʻia foki ʻi ha foha, ʻi heʻene taʻumotuʻá, pea ko hono māhina ono eni, ʻa e fefine naʻe lau ko e paʻá; 37 he ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻe taʻemalava.”+ 38 Naʻe pehē leva ʻe Mele: “Vakai! Ko e kaunanga au ʻa Sihova!* Fakatauange ke hoko mai kiate au ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo leá.” ʻI he meʻa ko iá naʻe mavahe leva ʻa e ʻāngeló meiate ia.

39 Ko ia naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Mele ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko iá ʻo ne fononga fakavave atu ki he feituʻu moʻungaʻiá, ki ha kolo ʻo Siuta, 40 peá ne hū atu ki he fale ʻo Sākalaiá ʻo ne fakafeʻiloaki kia ʻIlisapesi. 41 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa ʻIlisapesi ki he fakafeʻiloaki ange ʻa Melé, naʻe hopohopo ʻa e kiʻi tama ʻi hono manavá, pea naʻe fonu ʻa ʻIlisapesi ʻi he laumālie māʻoniʻoní 42 pea naʻá ne kalanga leʻo-lahi: “Kuo faitāpuekina koe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kakai fefiné, pea kuo faitāpuekina ʻa e fua ʻo ho manavá! 43 Ko ia ʻoku anga-fēfē ai ʻa ʻeku maʻu ʻa e monuú ni, ke haʻu kiate au ʻa e faʻē ʻa hoku ʻEikí? 44 He vakai, ʻi he ongo mai ʻa hoʻo fakafeʻiloakí ki hoku telingá, naʻe hopohopo ʻa e kiʻi tama ʻi hoku manavá ʻi he fiefia. 45 He fiefia foki ē mo e fefine ʻoku tuí, he ʻe fakahoko kakato ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ko ia kuo folofolaʻaki kiate ia meia Sihová.”*

46 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mele: “ʻOku fakahīkihikiʻi ʻe heʻeku moʻuí ʻa Sihova,*+ 47 pea ʻoku ʻikai lava ke mapukepuke ʻa e fiefia lahi hoku laumālié ʻi he ʻOtuá ko hoku Fakamoʻuí,+ 48 koeʻuhi kuó ne hāngaifofonga mai ki heʻene kaunanga māʻulaló ni.+ He vakai, mei he taimí ni ʻo faai atu, ko e ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē te nau talaki ʻeku fiefiá,+ 49 koeʻuhi ko e Tokotaha mālohí kuó ne fai ha ngaahi ngāue lalahi maʻaku, pea ʻoku māʻoniʻoni hono huafá,+ 50 pea ʻi he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata, ʻokú ne ʻaloʻofa ki he faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku manavahē kiate iá.+ 51 Kuó ne fakahoko ha ngaahi ngāue māfimafi ʻaki hono toʻukupú; kuó ne fakamovete atu ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku hīkisia ʻa e taumuʻa ʻo honau lotó.+ 52 Kuó ne tuku ki lalo ʻa e kau tangata mafai māʻolungá mei he ngaahi taloní+ pea kuó ne hakeakiʻi ʻa e faʻahinga māʻulaló;+ 53 kuó ne mātuʻaki fakamākona ʻa e kau fiekaiá ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻa lelei,+ pea kuó ne tuku ange atu ʻa e faʻahinga tuʻumālié ʻo taʻeʻiai haʻanau meʻa. 54 Kuó ne hoko mai ke tokoniʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ko ʻene sevānití, ʻi hono manatuʻi ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofá,+ 55 ʻo hangē ko ia ko e meʻa naʻá ne folofolaʻaki ki heʻetau fanga kuí, kia ʻĒpalahame pea ki hono hakó,+ ʻo taʻengata.” 56 Naʻe nofo ʻa Mele mo ia ʻo māhina ʻe tolu nai peá ne toki foki ki hono ʻapí.

57 Naʻe hoko mai leva ʻa e taimi ke fāʻele ai ʻa ʻIlisapesí, pea naʻá ne fāʻeleʻi ha tama tangata. 58 Pea naʻe fanongo ʻa e ngaahi kaungāʻapí mo hono kāingá kuo fakalahi ʻe Sihova* ʻene ʻaloʻofá kiate ia, pea naʻa nau fiefia fakataha mo ia.+ 59 ʻI he ʻaho hono valú, naʻa nau haʻu ke kamu ʻa e kiʻi tamá,+ pea naʻe teu ke nau fakahingoa ia ki heʻene tamaí, kia Sākalaia. 60 Ka naʻe tali atu ʻe heʻene faʻeé ʻo pehē: “ʻIkai, ka ʻe ui ia ko Sione.” 61 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻa nau pehē kiate ia: “ʻOku ʻikai ha taha ʻi ho kāingá ʻoku ui ʻaki ʻa e hingoa ko ʻení.” 62 Naʻa nau ʻeke leva ki heʻene tamaí ʻi ha talanoa tuhutuhu pe naʻá ne lotó ke ui ia ko hai. 63 Ko ia naʻá ne kole ke ʻomi ha lauʻipapa peá ne tohi ai: “Ko Sione ʻa hono hingoá.”+ ʻI he meʻá ni naʻa nau ofoofo kotoa ai. 64 ʻI he taimi pē ko iá, naʻe ava hono ngutú pea ʻatā hono ʻeleló ʻo ne kamata ke lea,+ ʻo fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá. 65 Pea naʻe tō ha manavahē ʻi he kotoa ʻo e faʻahinga naʻe nofo ʻi honau feituʻú, pea naʻe kamata ke talanoaʻi holo ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa ʻi he feituʻu moʻungaʻia fakakātoa ʻo Siuteá. 66 Pea ko e faʻahinga kotoa naʻe fanongo aí naʻa nau ʻai ia ki honau lotó, ʻo nau pehē: “Ko e hā ʻe hoko ki ai ʻa e kiʻi tamá ni?” He naʻe ʻiate ia moʻoni ʻa e toʻukupu ʻo Sihová.*
