14 Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe Sioape ko e tama ʻa Seluvaiá+ ʻoku ʻunaloto ʻa e tuʻí kia ʻApisalome.+ 2 Ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Sioape ha fekau ki Tēkoa+ ʻo ui mai mei ai ha fefine poto peá ne tala ange kiate ia: “ʻAi muʻa ke hangē ʻokú ke fai ha tengihiá, peá ke tui ha ngaahi kofu ʻo e tengihiá, pea ʻoua te ke milimili ʻaki koe ha lolo.+ Fai ha tōʻonga ʻo hangē ko ha fefine kuó ne tengihia ha taha kuo fuoloa ʻene maté. 3 Peá ke hū atu leva ʻo lea hangē ko ení ki he tuʻí.” Ko ia naʻe ʻai ʻe Sioape ʻa e ngaahi leá ni ki hono ngutú.*
4 Naʻe hū atu ʻa e fefine Tēkoá ki he tuʻí peá ne tō foʻohifo ki he kelekelé ʻo ne fakatōmapeʻe atu mo ne pehē: “Tokoni mai kiate au, ʻe hoʻo ʻAfio!” 5 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he tuʻí kiate ia: “Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻoku hokó?” ʻI he meʻá ni naʻá ne tali ange: “ʻOiauē, ko aú ko ha uitou; kuo mate ʻa hoku husepānití. 6 Pea ko au, ʻa hoʻo sevānití, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻeku ongo tama tangata ʻe toko ua, pea naʻá na fuhu ʻi he vaó. Naʻe ʻikai ha taha ke ne fakamavaheʻi kinaua, pea naʻe taaʻi ʻe he tokotaha ko ē ʻa e tokotaha ʻe tahá ʻo tō peá ne tāmateʻi ia. 7 Pea ko eni kuo tuʻu hake ʻa e fāmilí kotoa kiate au, ko hoʻo sevānití, pea nau pehē, ‘ʻOmi ki heni ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne taaʻi ʻa hono tokouá, ke mau tāmateʻi ia koeʻuhí ko e moʻui ʻa hono tokoua ʻa ia naʻá ne tāmateʻí,+ ʻo tatau ai pē pe ʻoku ʻuhinga iá ʻe tafiʻi ʻosi ai ʻa e ʻeá!’ Te nau tāmateʻi ʻa e foʻi malala uloulo fakaʻosi ʻoku kei toe ʻiate aú,* pea ʻikai tuku ki hoku husepānití ha hingoa pe ko ha tokotaha ʻe hao* ʻi he funga ʻo māmaní.”
8 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe he tuʻí ki he fefiné: “ʻAlu ki ho ʻapí, pea te u fai atu ha tuʻutuʻuni fekauʻaki mo koe.” 9 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ange ai ʻe he fefine Tēkoá ki he tuʻí: “ʻE hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻí, tuku muʻa ke u halaia au mo e fale ʻo ʻeku tamaí, kae tonuhia ʻa e tuʻí mo hono taloní.” 10 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe he tuʻí: “Kapau ʻe toe lea atu ha taha kiate koe, ʻomi ia kiate au, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne toe fakahohaʻasi koe.” 11 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he fefiné: “Kātaki, tuku muʻa ke manatuʻi ʻe hoʻo ʻAfió ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtuá, koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa fai mai ʻe he tokotaha faisāuni ʻo e totó+ ha maumau mo fakaʻauha ʻosi ʻeku tamá.” ʻI he meʻá ni naʻá ne pehē ange: “ʻOku ou fuakava ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua moʻuí,+ ʻe ʻikai tō ha fulufuluʻiʻulu ʻe taha ʻo ho fohá ki he kelekelé.” 12 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe he fefiné: “Tuku muʻa ke fai atu ʻe hoʻo sevānití ha lea ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻí.” Ko ia naʻá ne pehē ange: “Lea mai!”
13 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he fefiné: “Ko e hā leva kuó ke fakakaukau ai ke fai ʻa e meʻa hangē ko ení ki he kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá?+ ʻI he lea peheni ʻa e tuʻí, ʻokú ne ʻai ai ia ke ne halaia, he ʻoku ʻikai ke fakafoki mai ʻe he tuʻí ia hono foha tonu kuo fakamavaheʻí.+ 14 Kuo pau ke tau mate pea hangē ko e vai ʻoku huaʻi atu ki he kelekelé, ʻa ia heʻikai lava ke toe tānaki mai. Ka ko e ʻOtuá heʻikai te ne toʻo ʻe ia ha moʻui, pea ʻokú ne fakakaukau ki he ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻoku ʻikai totonu maʻu ai pē ki he tokotaha kuo fakamavaheʻí ke fakamavaheʻi ai pē meiate ia. 15 Kuó u hū mai ke u leaʻaki eni ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻí, koeʻuhí naʻe ʻai au ʻe he kakaí ke u ilifia. Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe hoʻo sevānití, ‘Tuku muʻa ke u lea ki he tuʻí. Mahalo pē ʻe fai ʻa e tuʻí ki he kole ʻa ʻene kaunangá. 16 ʻE fanongo nai ʻa e tuʻí peá ne fakahaofi ʻene kaunangá mei he nima ʻo e tangata ʻoku feinga ke fakaʻauha ʻosi ʻa au mo ʻeku tama pē tahá mei he tofiʻa naʻe foaki mai kiate kimaua ʻe he ʻOtuá.’+ 17 Naʻe pehē leva ʻe hoʻo sevānití, ‘ʻOfa ke ʻomai kiate au ʻe he lea ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻí ha fakafiemālie,’ he ko hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻí ʻoku hangē tofu pē ko ha ʻāngelo ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní ʻi heʻene fakafaikehekeheʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku leleí mei he meʻa ʻoku koví. ʻOfa ke ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtuá.”
18 Naʻe tali ange leva ʻe he tuʻí ki he fefiné: “ʻOua muʻa naʻá ke fufū meiate au ha meʻa pē te u ʻeke atu kiate koe.” Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he fefiné: “Tuku muʻa ke lea mai ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻí.” 19 Naʻe ʻeke ange leva ʻe he tuʻí: “Ko Sioape naʻá ne ʻai koe ke ke leaʻaki ʻa e meʻa kotoa ko ení?”+ Naʻe tali ange ʻe he fefiné: “ʻOku ou fakapapau atu kiate koe, ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻí, ko ia tofu pē* ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻí, he ko hoʻo sevāniti ko Sioapé naʻá ne fakahinohino kiate au peá ne ʻai kotoa ʻa e ngaahi leá ni ki he ngutu ʻo hoʻo sevānití. 20 Ko hoʻo sevāniti ko Sioapé kuó ne fai ʻa e meʻá ni ke liliu ʻaki ʻa e anga hoʻo vakai ki he ngaahi meʻá, ka ko hoku ʻeikí ʻoku poto ʻo hangē ko e poto ʻa e ʻāngelo ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní pea ʻokú ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku hoko ʻi he fonuá.”
21 ʻI he hili iá, naʻe pehē ange ʻe he tuʻí kia Sioape: “Lelei, te u fai ʻa e meʻá ni.+ ʻAlu ʻo fakafoki mai ʻa e talavou ko ʻApisalomé.”+ 22 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe tō foʻohifo ai ʻa Sioape ki he kelekelé ʻo ne fakatōmapeʻe peá ne fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa e tuʻí. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sioape: “ʻI he ʻahó ni ʻoku ʻiloʻi ai ʻe hoʻo sevānití kuó u maʻu ʻa hoʻo hōifuá, ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻí, koeʻuhí kuo fai ʻa e tuʻí ki he kole ʻa ʻene sevānití.” 23 Naʻe tuʻu hake leva ʻa Sioape ʻo ne ʻalu ki Kēsuli+ ʻo ʻomai ʻa ʻApisalome ki Selusalema. 24 Kae kehe, naʻe pehē ange ʻe he tuʻí: “Tuku ke ne foki mai ki hono fale ʻoʻoná, ka heʻikai te ne sio ki hoku fofongá.” Ko ia naʻe foki ai ʻa ʻApisalome ki hono fale ʻoʻoná, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne sio ki he fofonga ʻo e tuʻí.
25 Pea ʻi ʻIsileli kotoa, naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe fakahīkihikiʻi lahi ʻi heʻene fōtunga matamataleleí ʻo hangē ko ʻApisalomé. Mei hono ʻaofivaʻé ki hono tumuʻakí, naʻe ʻikai ha mele ʻiate ia. 26 ʻI heʻene kosi ʻa hono ʻulú—naʻe pau ke ne kosi ia ʻi he fakaʻosinga ʻo e taʻu kotoa pē koeʻuhí naʻe fuʻu mamafa ia kiate ia—ko e mamafa ʻo hono louʻulú ko e sikeli ʻe 200* ʻo fakatatau ki he maka fua mamafa ʻa e tuʻí.* 27 Naʻe fanauʻi kia ʻApisalome ha ngaahi foha ʻe toko tolu+ pea mo ha ʻofefine ʻe toko taha, ʻa ia ko hono hingoá ko Tema. Ko ha fefine naʻe hoihoifua ʻaupito.
28 Pea naʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e nofo ʻa ʻApisalomé ʻi Selusalema ʻi he taʻu kakato ʻe ua, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne sio ki he fofonga ʻo e tuʻí.+ 29 Ko ia naʻe fai atu ʻe ʻApisalome ha fekau kia Sioape ke ne haʻu koeʻuhí ke fekauʻi atu ia ki he tuʻí, ka naʻe ʻikai ke haʻu ʻa Sioape ia kiate ia. Naʻá ne toe fekau atu kiate ia, ko hono tuʻo uá ia, pea naʻá ne kei fakafisi pē ke haʻu. 30 Naʻe faifai atu pē peá ne pehē ki heʻene kau sevānití: “Ko e konga kelekele ʻo Sioapé ʻoku hoko mai pē ki haʻakú, pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa ʻene paʻale ai. Mou ō ʻo tutu ia.” Ko ia naʻe tutu ai ʻe he kau sevāniti ʻa ʻApisalomé ʻa e konga kelekelé. 31 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Sioape ʻo ne ʻalu ki he fale ʻo ʻApisalomé peá ne pehē kiate ia: “Ko e hā naʻe tutu ai ʻe hoʻo kau sevānití ʻa ʻeku konga kelekelé?” 32 Naʻe tali ange ʻe ʻApisalome kia Sioape: “Vakai! Naʻá ku fai atu ha pōpoaki kiate koe, ‘Haʻu pea tuku ke u fekauʻi atu koe ki he tuʻí ke ʻeke ki ai: “Ko e hā kuó u haʻu ai mei Kēsulí?+ Naʻe mei lelei ange kiate au ke u nofo ai. Pea ko eni, tuku ke u sio ki he fofonga ʻo e tuʻí, pea kapau ʻoku ou halaia, pea ke ne tāmateʻi au.”’”
33 Ko ia naʻe hū atu ʻa Sioape ki he tuʻí peá ne tala ange kiate ia. Naʻá ne ui leva ʻa ʻApisalome, ʻa ia naʻá ne hū atu ki he tuʻí ʻo ne fakatōmapeʻe ʻi hono ʻaó, peá ne tō foʻohifo ki he kelekelé ʻi muʻa ʻi he tuʻí. Naʻe ʻuma leva ʻa e tuʻí kia ʻApisalome.+
