7 ʻI he ʻaho hono 24 ʻo e māhina hono 11, ʻa ia, ko e māhina ko Sēpatí,* ʻi he taʻu hono ua ʻo e pule ʻa Talaiasí,+ naʻe hoko mai ai ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihová ki he palōfita ko Sākalaia ko e foha ʻo Pelekaia ko e foha ʻo ʻItó, ʻo pehē: 8 “Naʻá ku sio ʻi ha vīsone ʻi he poʻulí. Ko ha tangata naʻe heka ʻi ha hoosi kulokula, pea naʻá ne tuʻu maʻu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ʻulu maile ʻi he teleʻa fāsiʻí; pea naʻe ʻi mui ʻiate ia ha fanga hoosi kulokula, kelo, mo e hinehina.”
9 Ko ia naʻá ku pehē: “Ko hai ʻa e kau tangata heka hoosi ko ení, ʻe hoku ʻeiki?”
Naʻe tali mai ʻe he ʻāngelo ko ia naʻe lea mai kiate aú: “Te u fakahaaʻi atu pe ko hai ʻa e faʻahingá ni.”
10 Ko e tangata leva naʻe tuʻu maʻu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ʻulu mailé naʻá ne pehē mai: “Ko e faʻahinga eni kuo fekauʻi atu ʻe Sihova ke nau feʻaluʻaki holo ʻi he māmaní.” 11 Pea naʻa nau pehē ki he ʻāngelo ko ia ʻa Sihova naʻe tuʻu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ʻulu mailé: “Kuo mau feʻaluʻaki holo ʻi he māmaní, pea vakai, ʻoku lōngonoa mo nonga+ ʻa e māmaní fakakātoa.”
12 Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová: “ʻE Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, ko e hā hono fuoloa ʻa hoʻo taʻofi ʻa hoʻo mēsí mei Selusalema mo e ngaahi kolo ʻo Siutá,+ ʻa ē kuó ke tuputāmaki ki ai he ngaahi taʻu ko eni ʻe 70?”+
13 Naʻe tali ange ʻe Sihova ki he ʻāngelo ko ia naʻe lea mai kiate aú, ʻaki ha ngaahi lea anga-ʻofa mo fakafiemālie. 14 Naʻe tala mai leva ʻe he ʻāngelo naʻe lea mai kiate aú: “Uingaki atu, ‘Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau taú: “ʻOku ou mamahiʻi ʻa Selusalema mo mātuʻaki mamahiʻi+ ʻa Saione. 15 ʻOku ou ʻita lahi ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kehe ko ia ʻoku nofo nongá.+ Naʻá ku ʻita siʻisiʻi+ pē ʻi hoku kakaí. Ka ko e ngaahi puleʻanga ko eé naʻa nau fakatupu ha maumau+ ki ai ʻo mahulu atu ia ʻi he meʻa naʻá ku fakakaukau ki aí.’”
16 “Ko ia ai, ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihová: ‘“Te u foki ki Selusalema mo ha meesi,+ pea ʻe langa ʻa hoku falé ʻi ai,”+ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau taú, “pea ʻe falō atu ha afo fua ʻi Selusalema.”’+
17 “Toe uingaki atu ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau taú: “ʻE toe fakafonu ʻa hoku ngaahi koló ʻaki ʻa e meʻa lelei; pea ʻe toe fakafiemālieʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Saione+ pea toe fili ʻa Selusalema.”’”+
18 Pea naʻá ku hanga hake peá u sio ki ha meʻatui ʻe fā.+ 19 Ko ia naʻá ku ʻeke ange ki he ʻāngelo naʻe lea mai kiate aú: “Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni?” Naʻá ne tali mai: “Ko e ngaahi meʻatui eni ʻoku nau fakafofongaʻi ʻa e ngaahi mafai naʻa nau fakamovetevete atu ʻa Siuta,+ ʻIsileli,+ mo Selusalemá.”+
20 Naʻe fakahaaʻi mai leva ʻe Sihova kiate au ha kau tangata nima-meaʻa ʻe toko fā. 21 Naʻá ku ʻeke ange: “Ko e hā ʻoku haʻu ʻa e faʻahingá ni ke faí?”
Naʻá ne pehē mai: “Ko e ngaahi meʻatui eni naʻa nau fakamovetevete atu ʻa Siuta ʻo aʻu ki he tuʻunga naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe malava ke hanga hake hono ʻulú. Ko e faʻahingá ni te nau haʻu ke fakamanavaheeʻi kinautolu, ke fakapuna ʻa e ngaahi meʻatui ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia naʻa nau hiki hake ʻenau ngaahi meʻatuí ki he fonua ko Siutá ke fakamovetevete atu iá.”
