29 ʻI he hili iá, naʻe toe hoko atu ʻa e fononga ʻa Sēkopé ʻo ne ʻalu ki he fonua ʻo e kakai ʻo e Hahaké. 2 Pea naʻá ne sio ki ha vaitupu ʻi he feituʻu kaikaiʻangá pea mo ha tākanga sipi ʻe tolu ʻoku nau tākoto ʻo ofi atu ki ai, koeʻuhí he naʻa nau faʻa fakainu mei he vaitupu ko iá ʻa e ngaahi tākangá. Naʻe ʻi ai ha fuʻu maka ʻi he ngutu ʻo e vaitupú. 3 ʻI he fakatahataha kotoa ki ai ʻa e ngaahi tākangá, naʻa nau tekaʻi leva ʻa e maká mei he ngutu ʻo e vaitupú, pea naʻa nau fakainu ʻa e ngaahi tākangá, ʻi he hili iá naʻa nau fakafoki ʻa e maká ki hono tukuʻangá ʻi he ngutu ʻo e vaitupú.

4 Ko ia naʻe pehē ange ʻe Sēkope kiate kinautolu: “ʻE hoku fanga tokoua, ko hoʻomou omí mei fē?” Pea naʻa nau pehē ange: “Ko ʻemau omí mei Hālani.”+ 5 Naʻá ne pehē ange kiate kinautolu: “ʻOku mou ʻilo ʻa Lēpani+ ko e mokopuna ʻo Nēhoá?”+ Pea naʻa nau pehē ki ai: “ʻOku mau ʻilo ia.” 6 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻá ne pehē kiate kinautolu: “ʻOkú ne sai pē?” Naʻa nau tali ange: “ʻOkú ne sai pē.

Fakainu ʻa e fanga sipí, pea mou ō leva ʻo fafanga kinautolu.” 8 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻa nau pehē ange: “ʻOku ʻikai ngofua ke mau fai ia kae ʻoua ke fakatahataha kotoa mai ʻa e ngaahi tākangá pea nau tekaʻi ʻa e maká mei he ngutu ʻo e vaitupú. Hili iá, pea mau fakainu leva ʻa e fanga sipí.”

9 Lolotonga ʻene kei talanoa mo kinautolú, naʻe haʻu ʻa Lesieli mo e fanga sipi ʻa ʻene tamaí, he ko ha taʻahine tauhi-sipi ia. 10 ʻI he sio ʻa Sēkope kia Lesieli ko e ʻofefine ʻo Lēpani ko e tuongaʻane ʻo ʻene faʻeé pea mo e fanga sipi ʻa Lēpaní, naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu leva ʻa Sēkope ʻo ne tekaʻi ʻa e maká mei he ngutu ʻo e vaitupú peá ne fakainu ʻa e fanga sipi ʻa Lēpani ko e tuongaʻane ʻo ʻene faʻeé. 11 Naʻe ʻuma leva ʻa Sēkope kia Lesieli pea hiki hake hono leʻó ʻo ne tangi leʻo-lahi. 12 Pea naʻe kamata ke fakahā ange ʻe Sēkope kia Lesieli ko e kāinga* ia ʻo ʻene tamaí pea ko e tama ia ʻa Lepeka. Pea naʻá ne lele leva ʻo tala ki heʻene tamaí.

13 ʻI he fanongo pē ʻa Lēpani+ ki he fakamatala fekauʻaki mo Sēkope ko e tama ʻa hono tuofefiné, naʻá ne lele atu ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia. Naʻá ne fāʻofua ʻiate ia ʻo ne ʻuma kiate ia pea ʻomai ia ki hono falé. Pea naʻe kamata ke ne tala kia Lēpani ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa ko ení. 14 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Lēpani kiate ia: “Ko hoku hui mo hoku kakano moʻoni koe.”* Ko ia naʻá ne nofo mo ia ʻi ha māhina kakato.

15 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Lēpani kia Sēkope: “ʻOku totonu koā ke ke ngāue taʻetotongi mai kiate au, koeʻuhí pē ko hoku kāinga*+ koe? Tala mai, ko e hā ʻa e totongi+ ʻe ʻoatú?” 16 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ongo ʻofefine ʻo Lēpani. Ko e hingoa ʻo e lahí ko Lia, pea ko e hingoa ʻo e siʻí ko Lesieli.+ 17 Ka naʻe ʻikai ke mata lelei ʻa Lia, lolotonga iá ko Lesielí naʻá ne hoko ko ha fefine hoihoifua ʻaupito mo fakaʻofoʻofa. 18 Naʻe ʻofa ʻa Sēkope ʻia Lesieli, ko ia naʻá ne pehē: “ʻOku ou loto-lelei ke ngāue kiate koe ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu koeʻuhi ko Lesieli+ ko ho ʻofefine siʻisiʻí.” 19 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ange ʻe Lēpani: “ʻOku lelei ange kiate au ke u foaki ia kiate koe ʻi haʻaku foaki ia ki ha tangata kehe. Hokohoko atu ai pē hoʻo nofo mo aú.” 20 Pea naʻe ngāue ʻa Sēkope ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu koeʻuhi ko Lesieli,+ ka ʻi heʻene vakaí naʻe hangē pē ia ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻí koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻofa ʻiate iá.

21 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Sēkope kia Lēpani: “ʻOmi hoku uaifí koeʻuhí he kuo kakato hoku ngaahi ʻahó, pea tuku ke u mohe* mo ia.” 22 ʻI he meʻa ko iá naʻe fakatahatahaʻi ʻe Lēpani ʻa e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo e feituʻú ʻo ne fai ha kātoanga kai. 23 Ka ʻi he lolotonga ʻa e efiafí, naʻe tafoki hake ia ʻo ne toʻo ʻa hono ʻofefine ko Liá ʻo ne ʻomi ia kiate ia koeʻuhí ke ne mohe mo ia. 24 Naʻe ʻoange foki ʻe Lēpani ʻa Silipa ko ʻene kaunangá kia Lia ko hono ʻofefiné ke hoko ko ʻene kaunanga.+ 25 ʻI he pongipongi haké naʻe vakai ʻa Sēkope tā ko Lia ia! Ko ia naʻá ne pehē ange kia Lēpani: “Ko e hā kuó ke fai kiate aú? ʻIkai ko Lesieli naʻá ku ngāue ai kiate koé? Ko e hā kuó ke kākaaʻi ai aú?”+ 26 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ange ʻe Lēpani: “ʻOku ʻikai ko homau anga ia hení ke ʻoatu ʻa e siʻí ki muʻa ia ʻi he lahí. 27 Nofo ke kakato ʻa e uiké mo e fefiné ni. ʻI he hili iá, ʻe ʻoatu foki kiate koe ʻa e fefine ko eni ʻe tahá ka ke ngāue mai leva kiate au ʻi ha toe taʻu ʻe fitu.”+ 28 Naʻe fai pehē ʻa Sēkope ʻo ne nofo ke kakato ʻa e uiké mo e fefiné ni, ʻi he hili iá naʻá ne ʻoange kiate ia ʻa Lesieli ko hono ʻofefiné ke hoko ko hono uaifi. 29 ʻIkai ko ia pē, naʻe ʻoange ʻe Lēpani ʻa Pilā+ ko ʻene kaunangá kia Lesieli ko hono ʻofefiné ke hoko ko ʻene kaunanga.+

30 Pea naʻe toe mohe ʻa Sēkope mo Lesieli, pea naʻá ne ʻofa ʻia Lesieli ʻo lahi ange ia ʻi heʻene ʻofa ʻia Liá, pea naʻá ne ngāue kia Lēpani ʻi ha toe taʻu ʻe fitu.+ 31 ʻI he vakai ʻa Sihova naʻe ʻikai ke ʻofaʻi* ʻa Liá, naʻá ne ʻai leva ia ke ne malava ʻo feitama,*+ ka ko Lesielí naʻá ne paʻa.+ 32 Ko ia naʻe hoko ʻa Lia ʻo feitama peá ne fāʻeleʻi ha tama tangata ʻo ne fakahingoa ia ko Lūpeni,*+ he naʻá ne pehē: “Koeʻuhí kuo ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻeku mamahí,+ he ko eni ʻe kamata ke ʻofa ʻiate au ʻa hoku husepānití.” 33 Pea naʻá ne toe hoko ʻo feitama ʻo ne fāʻeleʻi ha tama tangata peá ne pehē leva: “Koeʻuhí kuo fanongo mai ʻa Sihova, he naʻe ʻikai ke ʻofaʻi au, ko ia kuó ne foaki mai foki kiate au ʻa e tokotahá ni.” Pea naʻá ne fakahingoa ia ko Simione.*+ 34 Pea naʻá ne toe feitama foki ʻo ne fāʻeleʻi ha tama tangata peá ne pehē leva: “Ko eni ʻi he taimi ní ʻe kau mai leva kiate au ʻa hoku husepānití, he kuó u fāʻeleʻi kiate ia ha fānau tangata ʻe toko tolu.” Ko ia ai, naʻe fakahingoa ia ko Līvai.*+ 35 Pea naʻá ne toe hoko ʻo feitama ʻo ne fāʻeleʻi ha tama tangata peá ne pehē leva: “ʻI he taimi ko ení te u fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa Sihova.” Ko ia naʻá ne fakahingoa ai ia ko Siuta.*+ ʻI he hili iá, naʻe kiʻi tuʻu ai ʻa ʻene fāʻelé.
