Mou ō hifo ki ai ʻo fakatau mai ha meʻa maʻatautolu, koeʻuhí ke hokohoko atu ʻetau moʻuí ʻo ʻikai te tau mate.”+ 3 Ko ia naʻe ō hifo ai ʻa e fanga tokoua+ ʻe toko hongofulu ʻo Siosifá ke fakatau uite mei ʻIsipite. 4 Ka naʻe ʻikai ke ʻave ʻe Sēkope ʻa Penisimani,+ ko e tokoua ʻo Siosifá, ke ō mo hono fanga tokoua kehé, he naʻá ne pehē: “Naʻa tō kiate ia ha fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo ne mate ai.”+

5 Ko ia naʻe haʻu ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIsilelí fakataha mo e niʻihi kehe naʻa nau omi ke fakataú, koeʻuhi naʻe aʻu atu ʻa e hongé ki he fonua ko Kēnaní.+ 6 Ko Siosifa ʻa e tangata naʻe pule ki he fonuá,+ pea ko ia ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne fakatau atu ʻa e uité ki he kakai kotoa ʻo e māmaní.+ Ko ia naʻe haʻu ʻa e fanga tokoua ʻo Siosifá ʻo nau punou hifo kiate ia mo hanga honau matá ki he kelekelé.+ 7 ʻI he sio ʻa Siosifa ki hono fanga tokouá, naʻá ne ʻiloʻi leva kinautolu, ka naʻá ne fufū ia meiate kinautolu ke ʻoua te nau ʻiloʻi ia.+ Ko ia naʻá ne lea fefeka kiate kinautolu ʻo ne pehē: “Ko hoʻomou haʻú mei fē?” Pea naʻa nau pehē ange ki ai: “Mei he fonua ko Kēnaní ke fakatau meʻakai.”+

8 Ko ia naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Siosifa ʻa hono fanga tokouá, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻiloʻi ia. 9 Naʻe manatuʻi ʻi he taimi pē ko iá ʻe Siosifa ʻa ʻene ngaahi misi ʻo fekauʻaki mo kinautolú,+ pea naʻá ne pehē kiate kinautolu: “Ko kimoutolú ko e kau asiasi! Kuo mou haʻu ke siofi ʻa e ngaahi feituʻu ʻoku ʻikai malu* ʻo e fonuá!” 10 Naʻa nau pehē ange leva kiate ia: “ʻIkai, ʻe homau ʻeiki, ka kuo haʻu hoʻo kau sevānití ke fakatau meʻakai. 11 Ko e ngaahi foha kotoa kimautolu ʻo e tangata pē ʻe taha. Ko e kau tangata faitotonu kimautolu. Ko hoʻo kau sevānití ʻoku ʻikai te nau ngāue ko ha kau asiasi.” 12 Ka naʻá ne pehē kiate kinautolu: “ʻOku ʻikai! Kuo mou haʻu ke siofi ʻa e ngaahi feituʻu ʻoku ʻikai malu ʻo e fonuá!” 13 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻa nau pehē: “Ko hoʻo kau sevānití ko e kau tautehina ʻe toko 12.+ Ko kimautolú ko e ngaahi foha ʻo e tangata pē ʻe taha+ ʻi he fonua ko Kēnaní, pea ko e siʻisiʻi tahá ʻoku ʻi heʻemau tamaí,+ lolotonga ia ko e tokotaha ʻe tahá ʻoku ʻikai ke kei ʻi ai.”+

14 Kae kehe, naʻe pehē ʻe Siosifa kiate kinautolu: “Hangē tofu pē ko ia naʻá ku leaʻaki kiate kimoutolú—‘Ko kimoutolú ko e kau asiasi!’ 15 Ko e meʻa eni ʻe siviʻi ai kimoutolú: ʻOku ou fuakava ʻi he moʻui ʻa Feló, ʻe ʻikai te mou mavahe mei he feituʻú ni kae ʻoua ke haʻu ki heni+ ʻa homou tokoua siʻisiʻi tahá. 16 Fekauʻi atu ha taha ʻo kimoutolu ke ne ʻomai ʻa homou tokouá lolotonga iá te mou nofo pōpula ʻi heni. ʻI he foungá ni, ʻe siviʻi ai hoʻomou leá ke ʻilo pe ʻoku mou tala ʻa e moʻoní. Pea kapau leva ʻe ʻikai, ʻoku ou fuakava ʻi he moʻui ʻa Feló, ko kimoutolú ko e kau asiasi.” 17 ʻI he meʻa ko iá naʻá ne tuku pōpula fakataha kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu.

18 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Siosifa kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho hono tolú: “Mou fai eni pea te mou moʻui, he ʻoku ou manavahē ki he ʻOtuá. 19 Kapau ʻoku mou faitotonu, tuku ke nofo pōpula ʻa e taha ʻo homou fanga tokouá ʻi he fale naʻe tuku pōpula ai kimoutolú, ka ko e toenga ʻo kimoutolú ʻe lava ke mou ō pea ʻave ʻa e uité ke fakamaʻamaʻa ʻaki ʻa e honge ʻi homou ngaahi fāmilí.+ 20 Pea ʻomai homou tokoua siʻisiʻi tahá kiate au, koeʻuhí ʻe ʻiloʻi ai ʻoku alafalalaʻanga ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi leá pea ʻe ʻikai te mou mate.” Pea naʻa nau fai ia.

21 Pea naʻa nau fepehēʻaki: “ʻOku tauteaʻi moʻoni kitautolu koeʻuhí ko hotau tokouá,+ koeʻuhi naʻa tau sio ki heʻene mamahí ʻi he taimi naʻá ne kōlenga mai ai kiate kitautolu ke fakahaaʻi ange ha manavaʻofá, ka naʻe ʻikai ke tau fanongo. Ko e ʻuhinga ia kuo hoko mai ai kiate kitautolu ʻa e mamahi ko ení.” 22 Naʻe tali ange leva ʻe Lūpeni kiate kinautolu: “ʻIkai naʻá ku ʻosi pehē atu kiate kimoutolu, ‘ʻOua ʻe fai ha angahala ki he tamá,’ ka naʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo?+ Ko eni kuo ʻekeʻi moʻoni mai ʻa hono totó.”+ 23 Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻiloʻi naʻe mahinoʻi ia ʻe Siosifa, he naʻe ʻi ai ha tokotaha fakatonulea ʻi honau vahaʻá. 24 Ko ia naʻá ne tafoki meiate kinautolu ʻo kamata ke ne tangi.+ ʻI heʻene foki mai ʻo ne toe lea kiate kinautolú, naʻá ne ʻave ʻa Simione+ meiate kinautolu ʻo ne haʻi ia ʻi honau ʻaó.+ 25 Naʻe fai leva ʻe Siosifa ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni ke fakafonu ʻenau ngaahi tangaí* ʻaki ʻa e uité pea ke fakafoki ʻa e paʻanga ʻa e tangata taki taha ki heʻene tangai ʻaʻana pea ke ʻoange kiate kinautolu ha ʻoho ki heʻenau fonongá. Ko e meʻa eni naʻe fai maʻanautolú.

26 Ko ia naʻa nau fakaheka ʻenau uité ki heʻenau fanga ʻasí pea nau mavahe mei ai. 27 ʻI he taimi naʻe fakaava hake ai ʻe he toko taha ʻo kinautolu ʻa ʻene tangaí ke ʻoange ha meʻakai ki heʻene ʻasí ʻi he fale tali fonongá, naʻá ne sio ai ki heʻene paʻangá ʻi he ngutu ʻo ʻene tangaí. 28 ʻI he meʻa ko iá naʻá ne pehē ange ki hono fanga tokouá: “Kuo toe fakafoki mai ʻeku paʻangá, pea ko eni ʻoku ʻi heni ia ʻi heʻeku tangaí!” Naʻe tō hifo leva ʻa honau lotó, pea ʻi he teteteté, naʻa nau fesiofaki mo pehē: “Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ko eni kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtuá kiate kitautolú?”

29 ʻI heʻenau aʻu atu kia Sēkope ko ʻenau tamaí ʻi he fonua ko Kēnaní, naʻa nau tala ange kiate ia ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe hoko kiate kinautolú, ʻo pehē: 30 “Ko e tangata ʻa ia ko e ʻeiki ʻo e fonuá naʻá ne lea fefeka mai kiate kimautolu+ ʻo ne tukuakiʻi kimautolu ʻoku mau asiasi ʻi he fonuá. 31 Ka naʻa mau tala ange kiate ia, ‘Ko kimautolú ko e kau tangata faitotonu. ʻOku ʻikai ko ha kau asiasi+ kimautolu. 32 Ko e kau tautehina kimautolu ʻe toko 12,+ ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻemau tamaí. Ko e toko taha kuo ʻikai ke kei ʻi ai,+ pea ko e siʻisiʻi tahá ʻoku ʻi heʻemau tamaí ʻi he fonua ko Kēnaní.’+ 33 Ka ko e tangata ʻa ia ko e ʻeiki ʻo e fonuá naʻá ne pehē mai kiate kimautolu, ‘Ko e meʻa eni te u ʻiloʻi ai ʻoku mou faitotonú: Tuku mai ha taha ʻo homou fanga tokouá ʻiate au.+ Pea mou ʻave leva ha meʻa ke fakamaʻamaʻa ʻaki ʻa e honge ʻi homou ngaahi fāmilí pea mou ō.+ 34 Pea ʻomai homou tokoua siʻisiʻi tahá kiate au, koeʻuhí ke u ʻiloʻi ai ʻoku ʻikai ko e kau asiasi kimoutolu ka ko e kau tangata faitotonu.

35 ʻI heʻenau huaʻi ʻenau ngaahi tangaí, tā ko e tangai paʻanga ē ʻa e tokotaha taki taha naʻe ʻi heʻene tangaí. ʻI heʻenau sio mo ʻenau tamaí ki heʻenau ngaahi tangai paʻangá, naʻa nau hoko ai ʻo ilifia. 36 Naʻe lea mālohi ʻa Sēkope ko ʻenau tamaí kiate kinautolu: “Ko au ia kuo mou fakamasivaʻí!+ Ko Siosifa ʻoku ʻikai ke kei ʻi ai,+ pea ko Simione ʻoku ʻikai ke kei ʻi ai,+ pea te mou ʻave ʻa Penisimani! Ko au ia kuo hoko mai ki ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa ko ení!” 37 Ka naʻe pehē ange ʻe Lūpeni ki heʻene tamaí: “Ke ke tāmateʻi ʻa hoku ongo fohá tonu kapau ʻe ʻikai te u fakafoki mai ia kiate koe.+ ʻOmai ia kiate au ke u tokangaʻi, pea te u fakafoki mai ia kiate koe.”+ 38 Kae kehe, naʻá ne pehē ange: “ʻE ʻikai ʻalu hifo mo kimoutolu ʻa hoku fohá, koeʻuhi kuo mate ʻa hono tokouá pea kuó ne toe toko taha pē.+ Kapau ʻe tō kiate ia ha fakatuʻutāmaki ke mate ai ʻi he fononga te mou faí, pea ko e moʻoni te mou ʻohifo ai ʻa hoku ʻulu hinaá ʻi he mamahi+ ki he Faʻitoká.”*+
