Ua Tuʻi

22 Naʻe taʻu valu ʻa Siosaia+ ʻi heʻene hoko ko e tuʻí, pea naʻá ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe 31 ʻi Selusalema.+ Ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻeé ko Sitita ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻAtaia mei Posikatá.+ 2 Naʻá ne fai ʻa e meʻa naʻe totonu ʻi he vakai mai ʻa Sihová peá ne ʻaʻeva ʻi he ngaahi ʻalunga kotoa ʻo Tēvita ko ʻene kuí,+ pea naʻe ʻikai te ne afe ki he toʻomataʻú pe ki he toʻohemá.

3 ʻI he taʻu hono 18 ʻo e pule ʻa Tuʻi Siosaiá, naʻe fekauʻi atu ʻe he tuʻí ʻa Sāfani ko e sekelitalí, ko e foha ʻo ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo Mēsuilamé, ki he fale ʻo Sihová,+ ʻo pehē: 4 “ʻAlu hake kia Hilikaia+ ko e taulaʻeiki lahí, pea ʻai ia ke ne tānaki ʻa e paʻanga kotoa kuo ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihová,+ ʻa ia kuo tānaki ʻe he kau leʻo matapaá mei he kakaí.+ 5 ʻAi ke nau ʻoange ia ki he faʻahinga naʻe fakanofo ke nau tokangaʻi ʻa e ngāue ʻi he fale ʻo Sihová, ʻa ia, te nau ʻoange leva ia ki he kau ngāue ʻi he fale ʻo Sihová ʻa ē te nau fakaleleiʻi ʻa e maumau* ʻi he falé,+ 6 ʻa ia, ko e kau tangata nima-meaʻá, ko e kau langá, pea mo e kau tufunga maká; pea te nau ngāueʻaki ia ke fakatau mai ʻaki ʻa e papa mo e maka kuo tā ke fakaleleiʻiʻaki ʻa e falé.+ 7 Ka ʻe ʻikai ke ʻeke meiate kinautolu ha fakamatala ki he paʻanga ʻoku ʻoange kiate kinautolú, koeʻuhí he ʻoku nau falalaʻanga.”+

8 Ki mui ai, naʻe pehē ange ʻe Hilikaia ko e taulaʻeiki lahí kia Sāfani ko e sekelitalí:+ “Kuó u maʻu ʻa e tohi Laó+ ʻi he fale ʻo Sihová.” Naʻe ʻoange ai ʻe Hilikaia ʻa e tohí kia Sāfani, ʻa ia naʻe kamata ke ne lau ia.+ 9 Naʻe ʻalu leva ʻa Sāfani ko e sekelitalí ki he tuʻí peá ne tala ange kiate ia: “Kuo huhua atu ʻe hoʻo kau sevānití ʻa e paʻanga ko ia naʻe maʻu ʻi he falé, pea kuo nau ʻoange ia ki he faʻahinga kuo fakanofo ke nau tokangaʻi ʻa e ngāue ʻi he fale ʻo Sihová.”+ 10 Naʻe tala ange foki ʻe Sāfani ko e sekelitalí ki he tuʻí: “ʻOku ʻi ai ha tohi+ naʻe ʻomai kiate au ʻe Hilikaia ko e taulaʻeikí.” Pea naʻe kamata ke lau ia ʻe Sāfani ʻi he ʻao ʻo e tuʻí.

11 ʻI he fanongo pē ʻa e tuʻí ki he ngaahi lea ʻo e tohi Laó, naʻá ne hae ʻa hono ngaahi kofú.+ 12 Naʻe fai leva ʻe he tuʻí ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni ko ení kia Hilikaia ko e taulaʻeikí, ʻAhikami+ ko e foha ʻo Sāfaní, ʻAkepoa ko e foha ʻo Maikaiá, Sāfani ko e sekelitalí, pea mo ʻAsaia ko e sevāniti ʻa e tuʻí, ʻo pehē: 13 “Mou ō, ʻo fehuʻi kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko au, koeʻuhi ko e kakaí, pea koeʻuhi ko Siuta kotoa ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi lea ʻo e tohi ko eni kuo maʻú; he ko e houhau kakaha ʻa Sihova kuo hoko kiate kitautolú ʻoku lahi,+ koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai ke talangofua ʻa ʻetau fanga kuí ki he ngaahi lea ʻo e tohí ni ʻaki hono tauhi ʻa e meʻa kotoa kuo hiki ai ʻo fekauʻaki mo kitautolú.”

14 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Hilikaia ko e taulaʻeikí, ʻAhikami, ʻAkepoa, Sāfani pea mo ʻAsaia kia Hūlita ko e palōfita fefiné.+ Ko e uaifi ia ʻo Salumi ko e foha ʻo Tikiva ko e foha ʻo Hāhasi, ko e tokotaha tauhi ʻo e tukuʻanga valá, pea naʻá ne nofo ʻi he vahefonua hono ua ʻo Selusalemá; pea naʻa nau lea ʻi ai kiate ia.+ 15 Naʻá ne pehē ange kiate kinautolu: “Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí, ‘Tala ki he tangata ʻa ia naʻá ne fekauʻi mai kimoutolu kiate aú: 16 “Ko eni ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihová, ‘Te u ʻomi ʻa e mala ki he feituʻú ni mo hono kakaí, ʻa e lea kotoa ʻo e tohi ʻa ia kuo lau+ ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Siutá. 17 Koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki au pea ʻoku nau fai ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau ke kohu ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehé+ koeʻuhi ke fakalotomamahiʻi ai au ʻaki ʻa e ngāue kotoa ʻa honau nimá,+ ʻe kakaha ʻa ʻeku houhaú ki he feituʻú ni pea ʻe ʻikai ke ʻosi ia.’”+ 18 Ka ki he tuʻi ʻo Siutá ʻa ia naʻá ne fekauʻi mai kimoutolu ke fehuʻi kia Sihová, ko e meʻa eni te mou leaʻaki kiate iá, “Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí: ‘ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi lea kuó ke fanongoá, 19 koeʻuhí naʻe ongongofua* ho lotó pea naʻá ke fakavaivaiʻi koe+ ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová ʻi hoʻo fanongo ki he meʻa kuó u leaʻaki ki he feituʻú ni mo hono kakaí—te nau hoko ko ha meʻa ke fai ai ha fakalilifuʻia pea mo ha malaʻia—pea naʻá ke hae ho ngaahi kofú+ pea tangi ʻi hoku ʻaó, kuó u fanongo foki kiate koe, ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová. 20 Ko e ʻuhinga ia te u fakatahaʻi ai koe ki hoʻo fanga kuí,* pea te ke toka ʻo mālōlō ʻi ho faʻitoká ʻi he melino, pea ʻe ʻikai ke sio ho matá ki he mala kotoa te u ʻomi ki he feituʻú ni.’”’” Pea naʻa nau ʻalu mo e talí ki he tuʻí.
