10 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi foha ʻe toko 70 ʻo ʻĒhapi+ ʻi Samēlia. Ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Sehu ha ngaahi tohi ʻo ʻave ia ki Samēlia, ki he kau māʻolunga ʻo Sisililí, mo e kau mātuʻá,+ pea mo e kau tauhi ʻo e fānau ʻa ʻĒhapí,* ʻo pehē: 2 “Ko eni ʻi he taimi ʻe aʻu atu ai ʻa e tohi ko ení kiate kimoutolú, ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻo homou ʻeikí, pea pehē ki he ngaahi saliote taú, ko e fanga hōsí, ko ha kolo fakakolotau, pea mo e ngaahi meʻatau. 3 Fili ʻa e lelei taha mo feʻungamālie* taha ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo homou ʻeikí pea fakanofo ia ki he taloni ʻo ʻene tamaí. Pea mou tau leva maʻá e fale ʻo homou ʻeikí.”
4 Ka naʻa nau mātuʻaki manavahē pea nau pehē: “Vakai! Kapau naʻe ʻikai lava ʻa e tuʻi ʻe toko ua ke tuʻu ʻi hono ʻaó,+ ʻe lava fēfē ke tau tuʻu kitautolu?” 5 Ko ia ko e tokotaha naʻá ne tokangaʻi ʻa e palasí,* mo e kōvana ʻo e koló, mo e kau mātuʻá, pea mo e kau tauhí naʻa nau ʻave ʻa e fekaú ni kia Sehu: “Ko kimautolú ko hoʻo kau sevāniti, pea te mau fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻokú ke tala mai kiate kimautolú. ʻE ʻikai te mau fakanofo ha taha ke tuʻi. Fai ha meʻa pē ʻe hā lelei ki hoʻo vakaí.”
6 Pea naʻá ne fai kiate kinautolu ha tohi hono ua, ʻo pehē ai: “Kapau ʻoku mou kau mo au pea loto-lelei ke talangofua kiate au, ʻomi ʻa e ngaahi foʻi ʻulu ʻo e ngaahi foha ʻo homou ʻeikí pea mou omi kiate au ʻapongipongi ʻi he taimi ko ení ki Sisilili.”
Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻe toko 70 ʻo e tuʻí naʻa nau nofo ʻi he kau tangata tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻo e koló ʻa ia naʻa nau tauhi hake kinautolú. 7 ʻI he aʻu atu pē ʻa e tohí kiate kinautolú, naʻa nau ʻave ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻo e tuʻí ʻo tāmateʻi kinautolu, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko 70,+ pea naʻa nau faʻo honau ʻulú ʻi ha ngaahi kato pea ʻave ia kiate ia ki Sisilili. 8 Naʻe hū atu ʻa e talafekaú ʻo tala ange kiate ia: “Kuo nau ʻomi ʻa e ʻulu ʻo e ngaahi foha ʻo e tuʻí.” Ko ia naʻá ne pehē ange: “Fokotuʻu ia ʻi ha tuʻunga ʻe ua ʻi he hūʻanga ʻo e matapā ʻo e koló kae ʻoua ke pongipongi hake.” 9 ʻI heʻene hū atu ki tuʻa ʻi he pongipongí, naʻá ne tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo e kakaí kotoa peá ne pehē: “ʻOku mou tonuhia* kimoutolu. ʻIo, naʻá ku faʻufaʻu ha kovi ki hoku ʻeikí, pea naʻá ku tāmateʻi ia,+ ka ko hai naʻá ne taaʻi ʻa e faʻahinga kotoa ko ení? 10 Ke mou ʻiloʻi leva, ʻe ʻikai ha momoʻi folofola ʻe taha ʻa Sihova ʻa ia kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ki he fale ʻo ʻĒhapí ʻe taʻefakahoko,*+ pea kuo fai ʻe Sihova ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne folofolaʻaki fakafou ʻi heʻene sevāniti ko ʻIlaisiaá.”+ 11 ʻIkai ngata aí, naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sehu ʻa e faʻahinga kotoa naʻe toe ʻi he fale ʻo ʻĒhapi ʻi Sisililí, pea pehē ki heʻene kau tangata tuʻu-ki-muʻá kotoa, ko hono ngaahi mahení, pea mo ʻene kau taulaʻeikí,+ kae ʻoua kuo ʻikai ha taha ʻe hao.+
12 Naʻá ne tuʻu hake leva ʻo hoko atu ʻene fonongá ki Samēlia. Naʻe ʻi he hala ko iá ʻa e fale kosi* ʻo e kau tauhi-sipí. 13 Naʻe fetaulaki ai ʻa Sehu mo e fanga tokoua ʻo Tuʻi ʻAhasaia+ ʻo Siutá, pea naʻá ne pehē ange, “Ko hai kimoutolu?” Naʻa nau pehē: “Ko e fanga tokoua kimautolu ʻo ʻAhasaia, pea ko ʻemau ʻalu hifó ke ʻeke pe ʻoku lelei pē ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻo e tuʻí mo e fānau ʻa e kuini fehuhú.” 14 Naʻá ne pehē ange ʻi he taimi pē ko iá: “Puke moʻui kinautolu!” Ko ia naʻa nau puke moʻui kinautolu pea tāmateʻi kinautolu ʻi he lepa ʻo e fale kosí, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko 42. Naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ke hao ha foʻi toko taha ʻiate kinautolu.+
15 ʻI heʻene ʻalu atu mei aí, naʻá ne fetaulaki mo Sionatapi+ ko e foha ʻo Lēkapí,+ ʻa ia naʻe haʻu ke fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia. ʻI heʻene lea fakafeʻiloaki kiate* iá, naʻá ne pehē kiate ia: “ʻOku kau kakato ho lotó mo* au, ʻo hangē pē ko e kau ʻa hoku lotó mo ho lotó?”
Naʻe tali ange ʻe Sionatapi: “Ko ia.”
“Kapau ko ia, ʻai mai ho nimá.”
Ko ia naʻá ne ʻai ange hono nimá, pea naʻe fusi hake ia ʻe Sehu ki he salioté kiate ia. 16 Naʻá ne pehē ange leva: “Haʻu mo au, pea te ke sio ki he ʻikai te u makātakiʻi hano fakauouaʻi* ʻa Sihová.”+ Ko ia naʻe fakaheka hake ʻa Sionatapi ki heʻene saliote taú. 17 Pea naʻá ne aʻu ki Samēlia, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻa e faʻahinga kotoa naʻe toe ʻi he fale ʻo ʻĒhapi ʻi Samēliá kae ʻoua kuó ne fakaʻauha ʻosi kinautolu,+ ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova naʻá ne folofolaʻaki kia ʻIlaisiaá.+
18 ʻIkai ko ia pē, naʻe tānaki fakataha mai ʻe Sehu ʻa e kakaí kotoa peá ne pehē kiate kinautolu: “Naʻe siʻisiʻi pē ʻa e lotu ia ʻa ʻĒhapi kia Pēalí,+ ka ko Sehú ʻe lahi ange ʻene lotu kiate iá. 19 Ko ia ui mai ʻa e kau palōfita kotoa ʻa Pēalí,+ ʻa ʻene kau lotú kotoa, mo ʻene kau taulaʻeikí kotoa+ kiate au. ʻOua naʻa tuku ke liʻaki ha foʻi toko taha, koeʻuhí ʻoku ʻi ai ʻeku fuʻu feilaulau ke fai kia Pēali. Ko ha taha pē ʻe liʻaki ʻe ʻikai te ne moʻui.” Ka naʻe faikākā ʻa Sehu koeʻuhí ke fakaʻauha ʻa e kau lotu kia Pēalí.
20 Naʻe hoko atu ʻa Sehu: “Talaki* ha fuʻu fakataha makehe kia Pēali.” Ko ia naʻa nau fanongonongo ia. 21 ʻI he hili iá, naʻe ʻave ʻe Sehu ha fekau ki ʻIsileli kotoa, pea naʻe haʻu ʻa e kotoa ʻo e kau lotu kia Pēalí. Naʻe ʻikai ha foʻi toko taha ne nofo ʻo ʻikai te ne haʻu. Naʻa nau hū ki he fale* ʻo Pēalí,+ pea naʻe fonu ʻa e fale ʻo Pēalí mei he ngataʻanga ʻe tahá ki he ngataʻanga ʻe tahá. 22 Naʻá ne pehē ange ki he tokotaha naʻá ne tokangaʻi ʻa e tukuʻanga valá: “ʻOmai ha ngaahi kofu ki he kotoa ʻo e kau lotu kia Pēalí.” Ko ia naʻá ne ʻomai ʻa e valá kiate kinautolu. 23 Naʻe hū leva ʻa Sehu mo Sionatapi+ ko e foha ʻo Lēkapí ki he fale ʻo Pēalí. Pea naʻá ne pehē ki he kau lotu kia Pēalí: “Fakasio fakalelei pea vakai ke ʻoua naʻa ʻi heni ha kau lotu kia Sihova, ka ko e kau lotu pē kia Pēalí.” 24 Naʻe faifai pē pea nau hū atu ke ʻohake ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau pea mo e ngaahi feilaulau tutu. Naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sehu ʻi tuʻa ʻa e toko 80 ʻo ʻene kau tangatá peá ne pehē ange: “Kapau ʻe hola ha taha ʻo e kau tangata ʻoku ou tuku atu ki homou nimá, ʻe fetongiʻaki hoʻo moʻuí ʻa ʻene moʻuí.”
25 ʻI he ʻosi pē ʻene ʻohake ʻa e feilaulau tutú, naʻe pehē ʻe Sehu ki he kau kaʻaté* pea mo e kau ʻōfisa fakakautaú: “Mou hū mai ʻo taaʻi kinautolu! ʻOua naʻa tuku ke hola ha foʻi toko taha!”+ Ko ia naʻe taaʻi kinautolu ʻe he kau kaʻaté mo e kau ʻōfisa fakakautaú ʻaki ʻa e heletaá pea laku kinautolu ki tuʻa, pea nau ʻalu atu ai pē ʻo aʻu ki he feituʻu toputapu ʻi loto* ʻi he fale ʻo Pēalí. 26 Naʻa nau ʻave leva ki tuʻa ʻa e ngaahi pou maka toputapu+ ʻo e fale ʻo Pēalí pea tutu ʻa e pou taki taha.+ 27 Naʻa nau holoki hifo ʻa e pou maka toputapu+ ʻo Pēalí, pea naʻa nau hae hifo ʻa e fale ʻo Pēalí+ pea ngaohi ai ha ngaahi fale mālōlō, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ní.
28 Pea naʻe fakaʻauha ʻosi ai ʻe Sehu ʻa e lotu Pēalí mei ʻIsileli. 29 Kae kehe, naʻe ʻikai ke tafoki ʻa Sehu mei he ngaahi angahala naʻe fakatupunga ʻe Selopoame ko e foha ʻo Nīpatí ke fai ʻe ʻIsileli ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e ongo kiʻi pulu koula naʻe ʻi Pēteli pea mo Taní.+ 30 Ko ia naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Sehu: “Koeʻuhí naʻá ke failelei pea naʻá ke fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku totonu ʻi heʻeku vakaí ʻaki hono fakahoko ʻa e meʻa kotoa naʻe ʻi hoku lotó ke fai ki he fale ʻo ʻĒhapí,+ ko e toʻutangata ʻe fā ʻo ho ngaahi fohá te nau nofo ʻi he taloni ʻo ʻIsilelí.”+ 31 Ka naʻe ʻikai ke tokanga ʻa Sehu ke ʻaʻeva ʻi he Lao ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻaki ʻa hono lotó kotoa.+ Naʻe ʻikai te ne tafoki mei he ngaahi angahala naʻe fakatupunga ʻe Selopoame ke fai ʻe ʻIsilelí.+
32 ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko iá naʻe kamata ai ke tuʻusi* fakakongokonga ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsileli. Naʻe hanganaki ʻohofi kinautolu ʻe Hesaeli ʻi he vahefonua kotoa ʻo ʻIsilelí,+ 33 mei Sioatani ʻo faai ai ki he hahaké, ko e fonua kotoa ko Kiliatí—ʻo e haʻa Katá, ko e haʻa Lūpení, pea mo e haʻa Manasé+—mei ʻAloeli, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi he veʻe Teleʻa* ʻAlanoní, ki Kiliati pea mo Pēsani.+
34 Pea ko e toenga ʻo e hisitōlia ʻo Sehú, mo e meʻa kotoa naʻá ne faí mo e kotoa ʻo hono fuʻu mālohí, ʻikai kuo hiki ia ʻi he tohi ʻo e hisitōlia ʻo e taimi ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí? 35 Pea naʻe toka ʻa Sehu ʻo mālōlō fakataha mo ʻene fanga kuí, pea naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi Samēlia; pea naʻe hoko ʻa hono foha ko Sihoaasí+ ko e tuʻi ʻo fetongi ia. 36 Ko e lōloa* ʻo e pule ʻa Sehu ki ʻIsilelí ko e taʻu ʻe 28 ʻi Samēlia.
