46 Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia ko e palōfitá ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi puleʻangá:+ 2 Ki ʻIsipite,+ ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e kau tau ʻa Felo Neko+ ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipité, ʻa ia naʻe ʻi he veʻe Vaitafe ʻIufaletesí pea naʻe ikunaʻi ʻi Kalikimisi ʻe Tuʻi Nepukanesa* ʻo Pāpiloné ʻi he taʻu hono fā ʻo e pule ʻa Sihoiakimi+ ko e foha ʻo Siosaia, ko e tuʻi ʻo Siutá:
3 “Mou teuteu hoʻomou fanga kiʻi paá* mo e ngaahi pā lalahí,
Pea ʻalu atu ki he taú.
4 Teuteu ʻa e fanga hōsí pea heka ki ai ʻa kimoutolu kau tangata heka hōsí.
Mou tuʻu ki homou tuʻuʻangá pea ʻai homou ngaahi tataá.
Fakangingila ʻa e ngaahi taó pea tui homou ngaahi kofu-taú.
5 ‘Ko e hā ʻoku ou vakai atu ai ʻoku nau manavaheé?
ʻOku nau holomui, ʻoku laiki ʻa ʻenau kau pāteʻi taú.
Kuo nau hola ʻi he ilifia, kuo ʻikai tafoki mai ʻenau kau pāteʻi taú.
ʻOku ʻi ai ha manavahē takatakai,’ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
6 ‘Heʻikai lava ke hola ʻa e veʻe-vavé, pea heʻikai lava ke hao ʻa e kau pāteʻi taú.
ʻI he tokelaú, ʻi he veʻe vai ʻo e Vaitafe ʻIufaletesí,
Kuo nau humu pea kuo nau tō ai.’+
7 Ko hai eni ʻoku haʻu ʻo hangē ko e Vaitafe Nailá,
Hangē ko e ngaahi vaitafe ʻoku tafe mālohí?
8 ʻOku haʻu ʻa ʻIsipite ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e Vaitafe Nailá,+
Hangē ko e ngaahi vaitafe ʻoku tafe mālohí,
Pea ʻokú ne pehē, ‘Te u ʻalu hake ʻo ʻufiʻufi ʻa e māmaní.
Te u fakaʻauha ʻa e koló mo e faʻahinga ʻoku nofo aí.’
9 ʻAlu hake, ʻa kimoutolu fanga hoosi!
Lele mate, ʻa kimoutolu ngaahi saliote!
Tuku ke ʻalu atu ʻa e kau pāteʻi taú,
ʻA Kusa mo Puti, ʻa ia ʻokú na toʻo ʻa e paá,+
Pea mo e haʻa Lutí,+ ʻa ia ʻoku nau toʻo mo fusi* ʻa e kaufaná.+
10 “Ko e ʻaho ko iá ʻoku ʻa e ʻEiki Haú, ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, ko e ʻaho ʻo e sāuni ke faisāuni ai ki hono ngaahi filí. Pea ʻe keina ʻe he heletaá ʻo ne mākona mo fonu ʻi honau totó, he ko e ʻEiki Haú, ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, ʻoku ʻi ai haʻane feilaulau* ʻi he fonua ʻo e tokelaú ʻi he veʻe Vaitafe ʻIufaletesí.+
Ko e kulanoa ʻa hoʻo fakalahi ʻa hoʻo ngaahi faitoʻó,
He ʻoku ʻikai ha faitoʻo kiate koe.+
12 Kuo fanongo ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá ki he ʻikai hao lāngilangí,+
Pea kuo ongona ʻi he fonuá ʻa hoʻo tangí.
He ʻoku humu ʻa e tokotaha pāteʻi tau ʻi he tokotaha pāteʻi tau,
Pea ʻokú na fakatou tō fakataha.”
13 Ko e folofola eni naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kia Selemaia ko e palōfitá ʻo fekauʻaki mo e haʻu ʻa Tuʻi Nepukanesa* ʻo Pāpiloné ke taaʻi ʻa e fonua ko ʻIsipité:+
14 “Talaki ia ʻi ʻIsipite, fanongonongo ia ʻi Mikitoli.+
Fanongonongo ia ʻi Nofi* pea ʻi Tapanesa.+
Lea ʻo pehē, ‘Tuʻu ki ho tuʻuʻangá pea ʻai ke mou mateuteu,
He ʻe keina takatakai ha heletā ʻiate koe.
15 Ko e hā kuo mole atu ai ʻa hoʻo kau tangata mālohí?
Naʻe ʻikai te nau tuʻu maʻu,
He kuo tekeʻi hifo kinautolu ʻe Sihova.
16 ʻOku nau humu tokolahi ʻaupito mo tō.
ʻOku nau fepehēʻaki:
“Tuʻu hake! Ke tau foki ki hotau kakaí mo hotau fonuá
Koeʻuhi ko e fakamamahi ʻa e heletaá.”’
17 Kuo nau talaki ʻi he potu ko iá,
‘Ko Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipité ʻoku longoaʻa noaʻia pē
18 ‘ʻOku ou fuakava ʻiate au,’* ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe he Tuʻí, ʻa ia ko hono huafá ko Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau,
‘Te ne* haʻu ʻo hangē ko Tēpoá+ ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi moʻungá
Pea hangē ko Kāmelí+ ʻi he tahí.
19 Teuteu hoʻo ngaʻotoʻotá ki he ʻave fakamālohi,
Siʻi ʻofefine ʻoku nofo ʻi ʻIsipite.
He ko Nofí* ʻe hoko ko ha meʻa ke fai ai ha fakalilifuʻia;
20 Ko ʻIsipité ʻoku hangē ha kiʻi pulu fefine fakaʻofoʻofá,
Ka ʻe haʻu ha pupunga lango mei he tokelaú ʻo uʻu ia.
21 Naʻa mo ʻene kau sōtia ʻi hono lotolotongá ʻa ia naʻe totongiʻi maí ʻoku nau hangē ha fanga kiʻi ʻuhikiʻi pulu ngeʻengeʻé,
Ka kuo nau tafoki mo kinautolu ʻo hola fakataha.
Naʻe ʻikai malava ke nau tuʻu maʻu,+
He ko e ʻaho ʻo ʻenau tuʻutāmakí kuo hoko mai kiate kinautolu,
ʻA e taimi ʻo honau tauteá.’
22 ‘Ko hono leʻó ʻoku hangē ko ha ngata ʻoku ngaoló,
He ʻoku muimui mai ʻiate ia ʻa e kau tau ʻa e filí, fakataha mo e ngaahi toki,
ʻO hangē ha kau tangata tā ʻakaú.*
23 Te nau tā hifo ʻa hono vaotaá,’ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, ‘neongo ʻene hā ngali fihituʻu ke hū ki aí.
He ʻoku nau tokolahi ange ʻi he fanga heʻé, ʻo ʻikai lava hano lau.
24 ʻE fakamaaʻi ʻa e ʻofefine ko ʻIsipité.
ʻE tuku atu ia ki he kakai ʻo e tokelaú.’+
25 “Ko Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí, ʻokú ne folofola ʻo pehē: ‘Ko eni te u fai ha tokanga ki ʻĀmone+ mei Nō,*+ kia Felo, ki ʻIsipite, ki hono ngaahi ʻotuá,+ pea ki hono ngaahi tuʻí—ʻio, kia Felo mo e kotoa ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku falala kiate iá.’+
26 “‘Pea te u tuku atu kinautolu ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau kumi ke toʻo ʻenau moʻuí, kia Tuʻi Nepukanesa* ʻo Pāpiloné+ mo ʻene kau sevānití. Ka ʻi he hili iá ʻe toe nofoʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi taimi ʻi he kuohilí,’ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.+
27 ‘Ka ko koe, ʻa ʻeku sevāniti ko Sēkopé, ʻoua te ke ilifia,
Pea ʻoua te ke manavahē, ʻe ʻIsileli.+
He te u fakahaofi koe mei he mamaʻó
Pea mo ho hakó mei he fonua ʻoku nau nofo pōpula aí.+
ʻE toe foki ʻa Sēkope pea te ne hoko ʻo nonga mo ʻikai fakahohaʻasi,
ʻO ʻikai ha taha te ne ʻai kinautolu ke nau ilifia.+
28 Ko ia ʻoua te ke ilifia, ʻa ʻeku sevāniti ko Sēkopé,’ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, ‘he ʻoku ou ʻiate koe.
