48 ʻI he hili ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni, naʻe tala kia Siosifa: “Vakai, ʻoku fakaʻau ke vaivai ʻa hoʻo tamaí.” ʻI he meʻa ko iá naʻá ne ʻave ʻa hono ongo fohá ʻa Manase mo ʻIfalemi ʻo ne ʻalu mo ia.+ 2 Naʻe fakahā leva kia Sēkope: “Ko eni ko ho foha ko Siosifá ʻokú ne haʻu kiate koe.” Ko ia naʻe tānaki ivi ʻa ʻIsileli peá ne tangutu hake ʻi hono mohengá. 3 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sēkope kia Siosifa:
“Ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi-Aoniú naʻá ne hā mai kiate au ʻi Lusa ʻi he fonua ko Kēnaní ʻo ne tāpuakiʻi au.+ 4 Pea naʻá ne folofola mai kiate au, ‘ʻOku ou ʻai koe ke ke fanafanau, pea te u ʻai koe ke ke tokolahi pea te u liliu koe ke ke hoko ko ha fakatahaʻanga ʻo e ngaahi kakai,+ pea te u foaki ʻa e fonuá ni ki ho hako ʻi he hili koé ko ha tofiʻa taʻengata.’+ 5 Ko eni ko ho ongo foha naʻe fanauʻi kiate koe ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipité ki muʻa ke u haʻu kiate koe ʻi ʻIsipité ʻoku ʻaʻaku kinaua.+ ʻE hoko ʻa ʻIfalemi mo Manase ʻo ʻaʻaku ʻo hangē pē ko e ʻaʻaku ʻa Lūpeni mo Simioné.+ 6 Ka ko e fānau ʻe fanauʻi kiate koe ʻi he hili kinauá ʻe hoko ʻo ʻaʻau ia. ʻE uiʻaki kinautolu ʻa e hingoa ʻo honau ongo tokouá ʻi honau tofiʻá.+ 7 Ka ko au, ʻi he taimi naʻá ku haʻu ai mei Petaná, naʻe mate ʻa Lesieli+ ʻi hoku tafaʻakí ʻi he fonua ko Kēnaní, lolotonga ia naʻe kei toe ha vāʻihala lahi pea mau toki aʻu ki ʻEfalatá.+ Ko ia naʻá ku tanu ia ai ʻi he hala ki ʻEfalatá, ʻa ia, ko Pētelihema.”+
8 Naʻe sio leva ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ongo foha ʻo Siosifá peá ne ʻeke ange: “Ko hai eni?” 9 Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe Siosifa ki heʻene tamaí: “Ko hoku ongo foha kinaua ʻa ia kuo ʻomai ʻe he ʻOtuá maʻaku ʻi he feituʻu ko ení.”+ Naʻá ne pehē ange leva: “ʻOmai muʻa kinaua kiate au, koeʻuhí ke u tāpuakiʻi kinaua.”+ 10 ʻI he taimi ko ení naʻe ʻikai sai ʻa e vakai ʻa ʻIsilelí ko ʻene taʻumotuʻá, pea naʻe ʻikai malava ke ne sio. Ko ia naʻe ʻomai kinaua ʻe Siosifa ke na ofi kiate ia, pea naʻá ne ʻuma kiate kinaua mo fāʻofua ʻiate kinaua. 11 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe ʻIsileli kia Siosifa: “Naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito haʻaku fakakaukau atu te u sio ki ho matá,+ ka ko eni kuo toe tuku foki ʻe he ʻOtuá ke u sio ki ho hakó.” 12 Naʻe ʻomai leva kinaua ʻe Siosifa mei he tui ʻo ʻIsilelí, pea naʻá ne punou hifo ʻo hanga ki he kelekelé.
13 Naʻe ʻave leva kinaua ʻe Siosifa, ko ʻIfalemi+ ʻaki hono nima toʻomataʻú ki he toʻohema ʻo ʻIsilelí pea ko Manase+ ʻaki hono nima toʻohemá ki he toʻomataʻu ʻo ʻIsilelí, pea ʻomi kinaua ke ofi kiate ia. 14 Kae kehe, naʻe mafao atu ʻe ʻIsileli hono nima toʻomataʻú ʻo hili ʻi he ʻulu ʻo ʻIfalemí, neongo ko ia naʻe siʻisiʻí, pea naʻá ne hili ʻa hono nima toʻohemá ʻi he ʻulu ʻo Manasé. Naʻá ne hilifaki ʻiloʻilo pau ʻa hono ongo nimá ʻi he founga ko ení, neongo ko Manase ʻa e ʻuluaki fohá.+ 15 Naʻá ne tāpuakiʻi leva ʻa Siosifa ʻo ne pehē:+
“Ko e ʻOtua moʻoní ʻa ia naʻe ʻaʻeva+ ʻi hono ʻaó ʻa ʻeku ongo tamai ko ʻĒpalahame mo ʻAisaké,
Ko e ʻOtua moʻoní ʻa ia naʻá ne tauhi au lolotonga ʻa e kotoa ʻo ʻeku moʻuí ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ní,+
16 Ko e ʻāngelo ʻa ia kuó ne fakaakeake au mei he faingataʻá kotoa,+ ke ne tāpuakiʻi ʻa e ongo tamaikí.+
Tuku ke uiʻaki kinaua ʻa hoku hingoá mo e hingoa ʻo ʻeku ongo tamaí, ʻa ʻĒpalahame mo ʻAisake,
Tuku ke na tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻi he māmaní.”+
17 ʻI he sio ʻa Siosifa naʻe hili ai pē ʻe heʻene tamaí ʻa hono nima toʻomataʻú ʻi he ʻulu ʻo ʻIfalemí, naʻe ʻikai te ne leleiʻia ai, ko ia naʻá ne feinga ke puke ʻa e nima ʻo ʻene tamaí ke toʻo ia mei he ʻulu ʻo ʻIfalemí ʻo ʻai ki he ʻulu ʻo Manasé. 18 Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosifa ki heʻene tamaí: “ʻOua ʻe fai pehē, ʻa ʻeku tamai, koeʻuhí ko e ʻuluaki fohá eni.+ ʻAi ho nima toʻomataʻú ki hono ʻulú.” 19 Ka naʻe hanganaki fakafisi ʻa ʻene tamaí ʻo ne pehē: “ʻOku ou ʻilo ia, ʻe hoku foha, ʻoku ou ʻilo ia. Ko ia foki te ne hoko ko ha kakai, pea ko ia foki te ne hoko ʻo lahi. Kae kehe, ko hono tokoua siʻisiʻí ʻe hoko ia ʻo lahi ange ʻiate ia,+ pea ko hono hakó ʻe tokolahi feʻunga ke faʻuʻaki ha ngaahi puleʻanga.”+ 20 Ko ia naʻe hokohoko atu ʻene tāpuakiʻi kinaua ʻi he ʻaho ko iá,+ ʻo pehē:
“Tuku ke lave kiate koe ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau leaʻaki ai ʻa e ngaahi tāpuakí, ʻo pehē,
‘ʻOfa ke ʻai koe ʻe he ʻOtuá ke hangē ko ʻIfalemí pea hangē ko Manasé.’”
Ko ia naʻá ne hanganaki fakamuʻomuʻa ʻa ʻIfalemi ʻia Manase.
21 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe ʻIsileli kia Siosifa: “Vakai, ʻoku ou tei mate,+ ka ko e moʻoni ʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa e ʻOtuá pea fakafoki kimoutolu ki he fonua ʻa hoʻomou fanga kuí.+ 22 Ka ko au, ʻoku ou foaki kiate koe ha konga fonua ʻe taha ʻo lahi hake ia ʻi he meʻa ʻoku ʻoange ki ho fanga tokouá, ʻa ia naʻá ku toʻo mei he nima ʻo e kau ʻĀmolí ʻaki ʻeku heletaá mo ʻeku kaufaná.”
