Fakamaau
11 Pea ko Sēfita+ ko e tangata Kiliatí ko ha tangata toʻa ʻi he taú; ko e tama ia ʻa ha fefine feʻauaki, pea ko Kiliati ʻa e tamai ʻa Sēfitá. 2 Ka naʻe toe fanauʻi ʻe he uaifi ʻo Kiliatí kiate ia ha ngaahi foha. ʻI he lalahi hake ʻa e fānau ʻa hono uaifí, naʻa nau kapusi ʻa Sēfita pea nau pehē kiate ia: “ʻE ʻikai te ke maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻi he fale ʻo ʻemau tamaí, he ko e tama koe ʻa ha fefine kehe.” 3 Ko ia naʻe hola ʻa Sēfita mei hono fanga tokouá ʻo ne nofo ʻi he fonua ko Topi. Pea naʻe takanga holo ʻa Sēfita mo ha kau tangata taʻengāue, pea naʻa nau muimui ʻiate ia.
4 ʻI he hili atu ha taimi, naʻe tauʻi ʻe he kau ʻĀmoní ʻa ʻIsileli.+ 5 Pea ʻi he taimi naʻe tauʻi ai ʻe he kau ʻĀmoní ʻa ʻIsilelí, naʻe ʻalu leva ʻa e kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliatí ke fakafoki mai ʻa Sēfita mei he fonua ko Topí. 6 Naʻa nau pehē kia Sēfita: “Haʻu ʻo hoko ko homau ʻeikitau, koeʻuhi ke tau tauʻi ʻa e kau ʻĀmoní.” 7 Ka naʻe pehē ange ʻe Sēfita ki he kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliatí: “ʻIkai ko kimoutolu naʻa mou mātuʻaki fehiʻa ʻiate au ʻo mou kapusi ai au mei he fale ʻo ʻeku tamaí?+ Ko e hā kuo mou haʻu ai kiate au he taimí ni ʻi hoʻomou faingataʻaʻiá?” 8 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ange ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliatí kia Sēfita: “Ko e ʻuhinga ia kuo mau foki mai ai kiate koe he taimi ní. Kapau te ke ʻalu mo kimautolu ʻo tauʻi ʻa e kau ʻĀmoní, te ke hoko ko homau taki ʻo pule ki he kotoa ʻo e kakai ʻo Kiliatí.”+ 9 Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe Sēfita ki he kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliatí: “Kapau te mou fakafoki au ke tauʻi ʻa e kau ʻĀmoní pea ikunaʻi kinautolu ʻe Sihova maʻaku, te u hoko moʻoni leva ai ko homou taki!” 10 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliatí kia Sēfita: “Tuku ke hoko ʻa Sihova ko e fakamoʻoni* ʻi hotau vahaʻá ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te mau fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo leá.” 11 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sēfita mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliatí, pea naʻe ʻai ia ʻe he kakaí ko honau taki mo honau ʻeikitau. Pea naʻe toe leaʻaki ʻe Sēfita ʻa e kotoa ʻo ʻene ngaahi leá ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová ʻi Misipā.+
12 Naʻe fekau atu leva ʻe Sēfita ha kau talafekau ki he tuʻi ʻo e kau ʻĀmoní,+ ʻo pehē: “Ko e hā ha meʻa ʻokú ke koviʻia ai ʻiate au,* kuó ke haʻu ai ke ʻohofi hoku fonuá?” 13 Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo e kau ʻĀmoní ki he kau talafekau ʻa Sēfitá: “Koeʻuhí naʻe ʻave ʻe ʻIsileli hoku fonuá ʻi heʻenau haʻu mei ʻIsipité,+ mei ʻAlanoni+ ki Siapoki pea aʻu atu ki Sioatani.+ Ko ia, fakafoki lelei mai ia.” 14 Ka naʻe toe fekau atu ʻe Sēfita ha kau talafekau ki he tuʻi ʻo e kau ʻĀmoní 15 ke nau pehē kiate ia:
“Ko eni ʻa e lea ʻa Sēfitá: ‘Naʻe ʻikai ke ʻave ʻe ʻIsileli ʻa e fonua ʻo e kau Mōapé+ mo e fonua ʻo e kau ʻĀmoní,+ 16 he ʻi he taimi naʻa nau haʻu ai mei ʻIsipité, naʻe fononga ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he toafá ʻo aʻu ki he Tahi Kulokulá+ pea aʻu ai ki Kētesi.+ 17 Naʻe fekau atu leva ʻe ʻIsileli ha kau talafekau ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻĪtomí,+ ʻo pehē: “Kātaki muʻa ʻo tuku ke mau fou atu ʻi ho fonuá,” ka naʻe ʻikai ke fanongo ki ai ʻa e tuʻi ʻo ʻĪtomí. Naʻa nau ʻoatu foki ha fekau ki he tuʻi ʻo Mōapé+ ka naʻe ʻikai te ne tali. Ko ia naʻe nofo ai pē ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Kētesi.+ 18 ʻI heʻenau fononga atu ʻi he toafá, naʻa nau ʻalu takai ʻi he fonua ko ʻĪtomí+ pea mo e fonua ko Mōapé. Naʻa nau fononga ki he hahake ʻo e fonua ko Mōapé+ ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi he feituʻu ʻo ʻAlanoní; naʻe ʻikai te nau hū ki loto ʻi he kauʻāfonua ʻo Mōapé,+ he ko ʻAlanoní ko e kauʻāfonua ia ʻo Mōapé.
19 “‘ʻI he hili iá, naʻe fekau atu ʻe ʻIsileli ha kau talafekau kia Sīhoni ko e tuʻi ʻo e kau ʻĀmolí, ko e tuʻi ʻo Hesiponí, pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsileli kiate ia: “Kātaki muʻa ʻo tuku ke mau fou atu ʻi ho fonuá ki homau feituʻu ʻomautolú.”+ 20 Ka naʻe ʻikai ke falala ʻa Sīhoni ki ʻIsileli ke nau kolosi ʻi hono feituʻú, ko ia naʻe fakatahatahaʻi mai ai ʻe Sīhoni ʻa e kotoa ʻo hono kakaí ʻo nau ʻapitanga ʻi Siahasa ʻo tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.+ 21 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe tuku ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻa Sīhoni mo e kotoa ʻo hono kakaí ki he nima ʻo ʻIsilelí, ko ia naʻa nau ikunaʻi kinautolu pea maʻu ai ʻe ʻIsileli ʻa e fonua kotoa ʻo e kau ʻĀmolí, ʻa e kau nofo ʻi he fonua ko iá.+ 22 Ko ia naʻa nau maʻu ʻa e kotoa ʻo e feituʻu ʻo e kau ʻĀmolí mei ʻAlanoni ki Siapoki pea mei he toafá ki Sioatani.+
23 “‘Ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí naʻá ne kapusi ʻa e kau ʻĀmolí mei he ʻao ʻo hono kakai ko ʻIsilelí,+ pea ko eni te ke kapusi koā kinautolu? 24 ʻIkai ʻokú ke maʻu ha meʻa pē ʻoku ʻoatu kiate koe ʻe ho ʻotua ko Kīmosí+ ke ke maʻú? Ko ia ko e tokotaha kotoa pē kuo kapusi ʻe Sihova ko homau ʻOtuá mei homau ʻaó ko e tokotaha ia te mau kapusí.+ 25 Pea ʻokú ke lelei ange koā koe ʻia Pēlaki+ ko e foha ʻo Sīpoa, ko e tuʻi ʻo Mōapé? Naʻe faifai ange koā peá ne fāinga mo ʻIsileli, pe naʻe faifai ange koā peá ne tauʻi kinautolu? 26 ʻI he lolotonga ʻa e nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Hesiponi mo hono ngaahi kolo takatakaí*+ pea ʻi ʻAloeli mo hono ngaahi kolo takatakaí pea ʻi he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi kolo ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi he veʻe ʻAlanoní ʻi he taʻu ʻe 300, ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mou teitei feinga ke fakafoki atu ia ʻi he lolotonga ʻa e taimi ko iá?+ 27 Kuo ʻikai te u faiangahala kiate koe, ka ʻoku hala ʻa hoʻo ʻohofi aú. Tuku kia Sihova ko e Fakamāú+ ke ne fakamaau he ʻahó ni ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e kakai ʻo ʻIsilelí pea mo e kakai ʻo ʻĀmoní.’”
28 Ka naʻe ʻikai ke fanongo ʻa e tuʻi ʻo e kau ʻĀmoní ki he pōpoaki naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sēfita kiate iá.
29 Naʻe hoko hifo ʻa e laumālie ʻo Sihová kia Sēfita,+ pea naʻá ne fou atu ʻi Kiliati mo Manase ke ʻalu ki Misipā ʻo Kiliatí,+ pea mei Misipā ʻo Kiliatí naʻá ne hoko atu ai pē ki he kau ʻĀmoní.
30 Naʻe fai leva ʻe Sēfita ha fuakava+ kia Sihova ʻo pehē: “Kapau te ke tuku mai ʻa e kau ʻĀmoní ki hoku nimá, 31 pea ʻilonga ha taha ʻe hū mai ki tuʻa mei he matapā ʻo hoku falé ke fakafetaulaki kiate au ʻi heʻeku foki kuó u ikuna mei he kau ʻĀmoní ʻe ʻa Sihova ia,+ pea te u foaki atu ʻa e tokotaha ko iá ko ha feilaulau tutu.”+
32 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Sēfita ke tauʻi ʻa e kau ʻĀmoní, pea naʻe tuku ʻe Sihova kinautolu ki hono nimá. 33 Naʻá ne taaʻi kinautolu ʻi ha tāmate lahi ʻaupito mei ʻAloeli ʻo aʻu ki Miniti—ko e ngaahi kolo ʻe 20—pea ʻalu ai pē ʻo aʻu ki ʻĒpeli-kelami. Ko ia naʻe fakavaivaiʻi ai ʻa e kau ʻĀmoní ʻi he ʻao ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí.
34 Faifai atu pē naʻe haʻu ʻa Sēfita ki hono ʻapí ʻi Misipā,+ pea vakai, naʻe hū mai ki tuʻa hono ʻofefiné ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, ʻoku tā nafa mai mo hula! Pea ko ʻene tamá pē ia ʻe toko taha. Naʻe ʻikai hano toe foha pe ʻofefine, tuku kehe pē ia. 35 ʻI heʻene sio pē kiate iá, naʻá ne hae hifo hono ngaahi kofú mo pehē: “ʻOiauē, ʻe hoku ʻofefine! Kuó ke fakalotomamahiʻi au,* he kuó ke hoko ko e tokotaha kuó u fakamavaheʻi. Ko eni kuó u fai ha fuakava kia Sihova, pea ʻe ʻikai lava ke u toe fakafoki.”+
36 Ka naʻá ne pehē ange kiate ia: “Siʻeku tamai, kapau kuó ke fai ha fuakava kia Sihova, fai kiate au ʻo hangē ko ia kuó ke palōmesi+ ki aí, he kuo fai ʻe Sihova ha sāuni maʻau ki ho ngaahi filí, ʻa e kau ʻĀmoní.” 37 Pea naʻá ne pehē ange ki heʻene tamaí: “Tuku ke fai eni kiate au: Tuku au ke u mavahe ʻi ha māhina ʻe ua, pea tuku ke u ʻalu ki he ngaahi moʻungá, pea tuku ke u tengihia ʻeku kei nofo anga-maʻá fakataha mo hoku ngaahi kaungāfefiné.”*
38 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻá ne pehē ange ai: “ʻAlu!” Ko ia naʻá ne tuku ia ke ne mavahe ʻi he māhina ʻe ua, pea naʻá ne ʻalu ki he ngaahi moʻungá mo hono ngaahi kaungāfefiné ke tengihia ʻa ʻene kei nofo anga-maʻá. 39 ʻI he ʻosi ʻa e māhina ʻe uá, naʻá ne foki ki heʻene tamaí, ʻa ia ʻi he hili iá naʻe fakahoko ai ʻe Sēfita ʻa ʻene fuakava naʻá ne fai fekauʻaki mo iá.+ Naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne mohe* mo ha tangata. Pea naʻe hoko ia ko ha tōʻonga* ʻi ʻIsileli: 40 ʻI he taʻu ki he taʻu, naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa e kau finemui ʻo ʻIsilelí ke fai ha fakaongoongolelei ki he ʻofefine ʻo Sēfita ko e tangata Kiliatí ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fā he taʻu.
