ʻUluaki Tuʻi
18 Hili atu ha taimi, ʻi he taʻu hono tolú,+ naʻe hoko mai ai ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihová kia ʻIlaisiā, ʻo pehē: “ʻAlu, peá ke hā kia ʻĒhapi, pea te u tuku atu ha ʻuha ki he funga kelekelé.”+ 2 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa ʻIlaisiā ke hā kia ʻĒhapi, lolotonga ia naʻe mafatukituki ʻa e hongé+ ʻi Samēlia.
3 Lolotonga ení, naʻe ui ʻe ʻĒhapi ʻa ʻOpataia, ʻa ia naʻe pule ki he falé. (Pea ko ʻOpataiá naʻe manavahē lahi kia Sihova, 4 pea ʻi he taimi naʻe fakaʻauha* ai ʻe Sisipeli+ ʻa e kau palōfita ʻa Sihová, naʻe ʻave ʻe ʻOpataia ʻa e kau palōfita ʻe toko 100 ʻo fufū kinautolu tautau toko 50 ʻi ha ʻana, pea naʻá ne tokonaki kiate kinautolu ʻa e mā mo e vai.) 5 Pea naʻe pehē ange ʻe ʻĒhapi kia ʻOpataia: “ʻAlu atu ʻi he fonuá kotoa ki he ngaahi matavai kotoa pē pea ki he ngaahi teleʻa* kotoa pē. Mahalo pē ʻe lava ke ta maʻu ai ha musie feʻunga ke tauhi ʻaki ʻa e fanga hōsí mo e fanga miulí ke nau moʻui pea ʻikai ke mate ʻa e kotoa ʻo ʻetau fanga manú.” 6 Ko ia naʻá na vahevahe ʻiate kinaua ʻa e fonua naʻe teu ke na ʻalu atu aí. Naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻĒhapi ʻi he hala ʻe taha, pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻOpataia ʻi he hala ʻe taha.
7 ʻI he ʻalu atu ʻa ʻOpataiá, naʻe ʻi ai ʻa ʻIlaisiā ke fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi atu ia ʻi he taimi pē ko iá peá ne tō foʻohifo mo pehē: “Ko koe koā eni, ʻe ʻIlaisiā ko hoku ʻeikí?”+ 8 Naʻá ne tali ange kiate ia: “Ko au ia. ʻAlu ʻo tala ki ho ʻeikí: ‘ʻOku ʻi heni ʻa ʻIlaisiā.’” 9 Ka naʻá ne pehē: “Ko e hā ha angahala kuó u fai ke ke ʻave ai ʻa hoʻo sevānití kia ʻĒhapi ke ne tāmateʻi aú? 10 ʻOku ou fuakava ʻia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻoku moʻuí, ʻoku ʻikai ha kakai pe ko ha puleʻanga kuo teʻeki fekau atu ʻe hoku ʻeikí ke kumi ai koe. ʻI he hili ʻenau pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻikai te ne ʻi hení,’ naʻá ne ʻai ke fai ʻe he puleʻangá mo e kakaí ha fakapapau naʻe ʻikai lava ke nau maʻu koe.+ 11 Pea ko eni ʻokú ke pehē, ‘ʻAlu ʻo tala ki ho ʻeikí: “ʻOku ʻi heni ʻa ʻIlaisiā.”’ 12 ʻI heʻeku mavahe meiate koé, ʻe ʻave koe+ ʻe he laumālie ʻo Sihová ki ha feituʻu ʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi, pea ʻi heʻeku tala kia ʻĒhapi pea ʻikai te ne maʻu koé, ko e moʻoni te ne tāmateʻi au. Neongo ia, kuo manavahē ʻa hoʻo sevānití kia Sihova talu mei heʻene kei siʻí. 13 ʻIkai kuo tala ki hoku ʻeikí ʻa e meʻa naʻá ku fai ʻi he taimi naʻe tāmateʻi ai ʻe Sisipeli ʻa e kau palōfita ʻa Sihová, ʻa ʻeku fufū ʻa e kau palōfita ʻe toko 100 ʻa Sihová ʻo tautau toko 50 ʻi ha ʻana pea hanganaki tokonaki kiate kinautolu ʻa e mā mo e vaí?+ 14 Ka ko eni ʻokú ke pehē, ‘ʻAlu ʻo tala ki ho ʻeikí: “ʻOku ʻi heni ʻa ʻIlaisiā.”’ Ko e moʻoni te ne tāmateʻi au.” 15 Kae kehe, naʻe pehē ange ʻe ʻIlaisiā: “ʻOku ou tauhi ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau ko e ʻOtua moʻuí. ʻOku ou fuakava ʻiate ia, ko e ʻahó ni te u hā ai kiate ia.”
16 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa ʻOpataia ke fakafetaulaki kia ʻĒhapi pea tala ange kiate ia, pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻĒhapi ke fakafetaulaki kia ʻIlaisiā.
17 ʻI he sio atu pē ʻa ʻĒhapi kia ʻIlaisiaá, naʻá ne pehē atu kiate ia: “Ko koe koā eni, ʻa e tokotaha ʻokú ne ʻomai ʻa e faingataʻa lahi ki* ʻIsilelí?”
18 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻá ne pehē ange: “Kuo ʻikai te u ʻomi ha faingataʻa ki ʻIsileli, ka ko koe pē mo e fale ʻo hoʻo tamaí, ʻi hoʻomou liʻaki ʻa e ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihová pea ʻi hoʻomou muimui ʻi he ngaahi Pēalí.+ 19 Pea ko eni, ui mai ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa kiate au ki Moʻunga Kāmeli,+ pea pehē ki he kau palōfita ʻe toko 450 ʻa Pēalí pea mo e kau palōfita ʻe toko 400 ʻo e pou ʻakau toputapú,*+ ʻa ia ʻoku nau kai ʻi he tēpile ʻa Sisipelí.” 20 Ko ia naʻe ʻoatu ʻe ʻĒhapi ha fekau ki he lotolotonga ʻo e kakai kotoa ʻo ʻIsilelí pea fakatahatahaʻi mai ʻa e kau palōfitá ki Moʻunga Kāmeli.
21 Naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu leva ʻa ʻIlaisiā ki he kakaí kotoa ʻo ne pehē: “Ko e hā hono fuoloa ʻo e ʻikai te mou ʻai ke pau ʻa hoʻomou fakakaukaú?*+ Kapau ko Sihova ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní, muimui ʻiate ia;+ ka ʻo kapau ko Pēali, muimui ʻiate ia!” Ka naʻe ʻikai leaʻaki ʻe he kakaí ha foʻi lea ʻe taha ke fai ha tali kiate ia. 22 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe ʻIlaisiā ki he kakaí: “Ko au pē toko taha ʻa e palōfita ʻa Sihova ʻoku kei toé,+ lolotonga ia ʻoku toko 450 ʻa e kau tangata ko e kau palōfita ʻa Pēalí. 23 Tuku ke nau ʻomi ha kiʻi pulu tangata ʻe ua, pea tuku ke nau fili ha kiʻi pulu tangata ʻe taha pea tuʻutuʻu kongokonga ia ʻo tuku ki he fefié, ka ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻai ki ai ha afi. Te u teuteuʻi ʻa e kiʻi pulu tangata ʻe tahá, pea te u tuku ia ki he fefié, ka ʻe ʻikai te u ʻai ki ai ha afi. 24 Pea kuo pau ke mou ui ki he hingoa ʻo homou ʻotuá,+ pea te u ui au ki he huafa ʻo Sihová. Ko e ʻOtua te ne tali mai ʻaki ha afí te ne fakahaaʻi ai ko ia ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní.”+ ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe tali ange ʻe he kakaí kotoa: “ʻOku lelei ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ke leaʻakí.”
25 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe ʻIlaisiā ki he kau palōfita ʻa Pēalí: “Fili ha kiʻi pulu tangata ʻe taha pea mou ʻuluaki teuteuʻi ia, koeʻuhí ko kimoutolu ʻoku tokolahí. Pea mou ui leva ki he hingoa ʻo homou ʻotuá, ka kuo pau ke ʻoua naʻa mou ʻai ki ai ha afi.” 26 Ko ia naʻa nau toʻo ʻa e kiʻi pulu tangata naʻe ʻoange kiate kinautolú, ʻo teuteuʻi ia, pea hanganaki ui ki he hingoa ʻo Pēalí mei he pongipongí ʻo aʻu ki he hoʻataá, ʻo pehē: “ʻE Pēali, fai mai ha tali+ kiate kimautolu!” Ka naʻe ʻikai ha leʻo pea naʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne fai mai ha tali. Naʻa nau hanganaki hopo takatakai ʻi he ʻōlita naʻa nau ngaohí. 27 ʻI he ofi ki he hoʻataá naʻe kamata ke manukiʻi kinautolu ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻo ne pehē: “Mou ui ʻaki ʻa e leʻo-lahi tahá! He ko ē, ko iá ko ha ʻotua!+ Mahalo pē ʻokú ne fakakaukau lahi ki ha meʻa pe ʻokú ne ʻalu ki tuaʻā.* Pe mahalo pē ʻokú ne mohe pea ʻoku fiemaʻu ha taha ke ne fafangu ia!” 28 Naʻa nau ui ʻaki ʻa e leʻo-lahi tahá pea nau tafatafaʻi kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi hele-tui mo e ngaahi tao, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau tōʻongá, kae ʻoua kuo fetafetafei honau totó ʻiate kinautolu kotoa. 29 Naʻe mahili atu ʻa e hoʻataá mo e hokohoko atu ʻenau tōʻonga faikehé* ʻo aʻu ki he taimi naʻe ʻohake ai ʻa e feilaulau meʻakai ʻi he efiafí, ka naʻe ʻikai ha leʻo pea naʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne fai mai ha tali; naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe tokanga mai.+
30 Faifai atu pē naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā ki he kakaí kotoa: “ʻUnuʻunu mai kiate au.” Ko ia naʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ʻa e kakaí kotoa kiate ia. Naʻá ne fakaleleiʻi leva ʻa e ʻōlita ʻo Sihova naʻe holokí.+ 31 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻa e fuʻu maka ʻe 12, ʻo fakatatau ki he lahi ʻo e matakali ʻo e ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkopé, ʻa ia naʻe hoko ki ai ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihová, ʻo pehē: “ʻE ui ho hingoá ko ʻIsileli.”+ 32 Naʻá ne ngaohiʻaki ʻa e ngaahi fuʻu maká ha ʻōlita+ ki he lāngilangi ʻo e huafa ʻo Sihová. Pea naʻá ne ʻai leva ha luo takatakai ʻi he ʻōlitá, ko ha feituʻu naʻe lahi feʻunga ke tūtuuʻi ai ha fua sia* ʻe ua ʻo e tengaʻi ʻakaú. 33 ʻI he hili iá, naʻá ne fokotuʻutuʻu lelei ʻa e ngaahi vaʻa fefié, tuʻutuʻu kongokonga ʻa e kiʻi pulu tangatá, pea hili ia ʻi he fefié.+ Naʻá ne pehē ange leva: “Fakafonu ha ngaahi fuʻu siā lalahi ʻe fā ʻaki ʻa e vai pea lingi ia ʻi he feilaulau tutú pea ʻi he ngaahi vaʻa fefié.” 34 Pea naʻá ne pehē ange: “Toe fai ia.” Ko ia naʻa nau toe fai ia. Naʻá ne toe pehē ange: “Fai ia ko hono tuʻo tolu.” Ko ia naʻa nau fai ia ko hono tuʻo tolu. 35 Pea naʻe tafe takatakai ʻa e vaí ʻi he ʻōlitá, pea naʻá ne toe fakafonu vai ʻa e luó.
36 ʻI he ofi ki he taimi ke ʻohake ai ʻa e feilaulau meʻakai+ efiafí, naʻe laka mai ai ki muʻa ʻa ʻIlaisiā ko e palōfitá ʻo ne pehē: “ʻE Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻĒpalahame,+ ʻAisake,+ pea mo ʻIsileli, tuku ke ʻiloʻi he ʻahó ni ko koe ʻa e ʻOtua ʻi ʻIsilelí pea ko aú ko hoʻo sevāniti pea ko hoʻo folofolá kuó u fai ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa ko ení.+ 37 Fai mai ha tali kiate au, ʻe Sihova! Fai mai ha tali kiate au koeʻuhí ke ʻiloʻi ai ʻe he kakaí ni ko koe, ʻe Sihova, ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní pea ʻokú ke fakatafokiʻi mai ʻa honau lotó kiate koe.”+
38 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hifo ai ʻa e afi ʻa Sihová mei ʻolunga ʻo ne keina ʻa e feilaulau tutú,+ ko e ngaahi vaʻa fefié, ko e ngaahi fuʻu maká, mo e efú, pea naʻá ne mimisi hake ʻa e vai mei he luó.+ 39 ʻI he mamata ki ai ʻa e kakaí kotoa, naʻa nau tō foʻohifo he taimi pē ko iá mo pehē: “Ko Sihova ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní! Ko Sihova ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní!” 40 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe ʻIlaisiā kiate kinautolu: “Puke ʻa e kau palōfita ʻa Pēalí! ʻOua naʻa tuku ke hao ha taha ʻo kinautolu!” ʻI he taimi pē ko iá naʻa nau puke mai kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻohifo kinautolu ʻe ʻIlaisiā ki he vaitafe* ko Kīsoní+ ʻo tāmateʻi kinautolu ʻi ai.+
41 Pea naʻe pehē ange ʻe ʻIlaisiā kia ʻĒhapi: “ʻAlu hake, kai mo ke inu, he ʻoku ongo mai ha fuʻu ʻuha lōvai.”+ 42 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa ʻĒhapi ke ne kai mo inu, lolotonga ia naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa ʻIlaisiā ki he tumutumu ʻo Kāmelí ʻo ne tulolo ʻi he kelekelé, ʻo hanganaki ʻai hono matá ki hono vahaʻa tuí.+ 43 Pea naʻá ne pehē ange ki heʻene tamaioʻeikí: “ʻAlu hake muʻa, peá ke sio atu ki tahi.” Ko ia naʻá ne ʻalu hake ʻo ne sio atu peá ne pehē: “ʻOku halaʻatā ke ʻi ai ha meʻa.” Naʻe pehē ange tuʻo fitu ʻe ʻIlaisiā, “Toe foki.” 44 ʻI hono tuʻo fitú naʻe pehē ange ʻe heʻene tamaioʻeikí: “Vakai! ʻOku ʻi ai ha kiʻi konga ʻao ʻoku hangē mai ko ha nima ʻo ha tangatá ʻoku ʻalu hake mei he tahí.” Naʻá ne pehē ange leva: “ʻAlu, peá ke pehē ange kia ʻĒhapi, ‘Teuteu hoʻo salioté! ʻAlu hifo koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa maʻu koe ʻe he fuʻu ʻuha lōvaí!’” 45 Lolotonga iá, naʻe fakaʻaʻau ke fakapoʻuli ʻa e langí ʻi he ngaahi konga ʻaó, naʻe puhi ʻa e havilí, pea naʻe tō hifo ha fuʻu ʻuha lōvai;+ pea naʻe hanganaki heka ʻa ʻĒhapi ʻo ne ʻalu ki Sisilili.+ 46 Ka naʻe hoko mai ʻa e nima ʻo Sihová kia ʻIlaisiā, pea naʻá ne takatakai* hono kofú ʻi hono kongalotó peá ne lele muʻomuʻa ʻia ʻĒhapi ʻo aʻu ki Sisilili.
