4 “Pea ko koe, foha ʻo e tangata, toʻo ha makaʻumea pea tuku ia ʻi muʻa ʻiate koe. Tongi ai ʻa e fakatātā ʻo ha kolo—ʻa Selusalema. 2 ʻĀkoloʻi ia,+ pea langa ha ʻā ki ai,+ fokotuʻu ha fakatafunga kelekele ki ai,+ pea fokotuʻu ha ʻapitanga ke tauʻi ia, pea takatakai ki ai ha ngaahi fuʻu meʻa-teke.*+ 3 Toʻo ha lauʻiukamea pea fokotuʻu ia ko ha ʻā ukamea ʻi ho vahaʻa mo e koló. Peá ke sio fakamamaʻu leva ki he koló, pea ʻe ʻākoloʻi ia; ko koe te ke ʻākoloʻi iá. Ko ha fakaʻilonga eni ki he fale ʻo ʻIsilelí.+
4 “Te ke tokoto ʻaki leva ho tafaʻaki toʻohemá pea te ke hili kiate koe*+ ʻa e hia ʻa e fale ʻo ʻIsilelí. Te ke fua ʻenau hiá ʻo fakatatau ki he lahi ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho te ke tokoto fakatafa aí. 5 Pea te u tuku kiate koe ha ʻaho ʻe 390, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi taʻu ʻo ʻenau hiá,+ pea te ke fua ʻa e hia ʻa e fale ʻo ʻIsilelí. 6 Pea kuo pau ke ke fakakakato ia.
“Pea te ke toe tokoto hifo ko hono tuʻo uá ia, ʻaki ho tafaʻaki toʻomataʻú, pea te ke fua ʻa e hia ʻa e fale ʻo Siutá+ ʻi he ʻaho ʻe 40. Ko e ʻaho ʻe taha ki he taʻu ʻe taha, ko e ʻaho ʻe taha ki he taʻu ʻe taha, ko e meʻa ia kuó u tuku atu kiate koé. 7 Pea te ke hanga ki he ʻākoloʻi ʻo Selusalemá+ kuo pelu hake ho nimá, pea kuo pau ke ke fai ha kikite ki ai.
8 “Vakai! Te u haʻiʻaki koe ha ngaahi maea koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻá ke lava ʻo tafoki mei ho tafaʻaki ʻe tahá ki ho tafaʻaki ʻe tahá kae ʻoua kuó ke fakakakato ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ho ʻākoloʻí.
9 “Pea te ke toʻo ha uite, paʻale, piini, piini lenitile, mīleti, mo ha kalasi uite kehe* ʻo faʻo ia ʻi he ʻaiʻanga meʻa ʻe taha pea ngaohiʻaki ia haʻo mā. He ko e lahi ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo tokoto ʻaki ho tafaʻaki toʻohemá, ʻa e ʻaho ʻe 390, te ke kai ai ia.+ 10 Te ke fua ʻa e meʻakai sikeli ʻe 20* ke ke kai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha. Te ke kai ia ʻi ha ngaahi taimi pau.
11 “Pea ʻe fua ʻa e vai te ke inú, ko ha vahe ono ʻe taha ʻo ha hini.* Te ke inu ia ʻi ha ngaahi taimi pau.
12 “Te ke kai ia ʻo hangē ko haʻo kai ha foʻi mā paʻale fuopotopotó; te ke taʻo ia ʻi honau ʻaó, ʻo ngāueʻaki ko ha fefie ʻa e kinohaʻa mei he tangatá ʻa ia kuo mōmoá.” 13 Naʻe hoko atu ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihová ʻo pehē: “Ko e founga ia ʻe kai ai ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí ʻenau maá—ʻoku taʻemaʻa—ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga te u fakamovetevete ai kinautolú.”+
14 Naʻá ku pehē ange leva: “ʻOua, ʻe ʻEiki Hau Sihova! Talu mei heʻeku talavou ʻo aʻu mai ki he taimí ni, kuo teʻeki ke u ʻuliʻi au ʻaki haʻaku kai ha kakanoʻi-manu mei ha manu naʻe maʻu kuo mate pe ko ha manu kuo hae,+ pea kuo ʻikai hū ki hoku ngutú+ ha kakanoʻi-manu taʻemaʻa.”*
15 Ko ia naʻá ne folofola mai kiate au: “ʻOku lelei, te u fakangofua koe ke ke ngāueʻaki ʻa e teʻepulú kae ʻikai ko e kinohaʻa mei he tangatá, pea te ke taʻo ai hoʻo maá.” 16 Naʻá ne folofola mai leva kiate au: “Foha ʻo e tangata, ko eni te u tuʻusi ʻa e maʻuʻanga meʻatokoni* ʻi Selusalemá,+ pea te nau kai honau ʻinasi mā kuo fuá+ ʻi he loto-tailiili lahi pea te nau inu honau ʻinasi inu kuo fuá+ ʻi he manavahē. 17 ʻE hoko ʻa e meʻá ni koeʻuhi ʻi he siʻi ʻa e maá mo e vaí, te nau fesiofaki ʻi he fakatumutumu pea nau mole atu koeʻuhi ko ʻenau faihalá.
