Siosiua mo e Kau Kipioné

Naʻe mafola atu ʻa e ongoongo fekauʻaki mo Sielikoó ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kehe ʻi Kēnaní. Naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe honau ngaahi tuʻí ke nau fakatahataha ʻo tauʻi ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí. Ka naʻe kehe ʻa e palani ia ʻa e kau Kipioné. Naʻa nau tui ha ngaahi kofu mahaehae pea nau ʻalu kia Siosiua ʻo nau pehē: ‘Ko ʻemau haʻu mei ha fonua mamaʻo. Kuo mau fanongo fekauʻaki mo Sihova mo e meʻa kotoa naʻá ne fai maʻamoutolu ʻi ʻIsipite mo Mōapé. Palōmesi mai heʻikai ke mou ʻohofi kimautolu, pea te mau hoko ko hoʻomou kau sevāniti.’

Naʻe tui ʻa Siosiua kiate kinautolu pea nau felotoi heʻikai te ne ʻohofi kinautolu. ʻI he ʻaho ʻe tolu ki mui ai, naʻá ne toki ʻiloʻi naʻe ʻikai ko ʻenau haʻu mei ha fonua mamaʻo. Ko ʻenau haʻú mei Kēnani. Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe Siosiua ki he kau Kipioné: ‘Ko e hā naʻa mou loi mai ai kiate kimautolú?’ Naʻa nau tali ange: ‘Naʻa mau ilifia! ʻOku mau ʻiloʻi ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá ʻokú ne tau maʻamoutolu. ʻOua muʻa ʻe tāmateʻi kimautolu.’ Naʻe fai ʻa Siosiua ki heʻene palōmesí peá ne tuku ke nau moʻui.

ʻIkai fuoloa mei ai, naʻe fakailifiaʻi ʻe he tuʻi ʻe nima ʻo Kēnaní mo ʻenau kau taú ʻa e kau Kipioné. Naʻe laka atu ʻa Siosiua mo ʻene kau taú ʻi ha pō kakato ke fakahaofi kinautolu. Naʻe kamata pongipongia he ʻaho hono hokó ʻa e taú. Naʻe kamata ke hola ʻa e kau Kēnaní ki he feituʻu kehekehe. Naʻe tuku hifo ʻe Sihova ha ngaahi fuʻu ʻuha-ʻaisi ki he feituʻu kotoa pē naʻa nau hola ki aí. Pea naʻe kole ʻe Siosiua kia Sihova ke ne ʻai ke tuʻu maʻu ʻa e laʻaá. Ko e hā naʻá ne kole ai kia Sihova ke ne fai ʻa e meʻa ko iá lolotonga ia kuo teʻeki ai ʻaupito ke tuʻu maʻu ʻa e laʻaá ki muʻa? Koeʻuhí naʻe falala ʻa Siosiua kia Sihova. Naʻe ʻikai ke tō ʻa e laʻaá ʻi he ʻaho kakato kae ʻoua kuo ikunaʻi ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí ʻa e ngaahi tuʻi Kēnaní mo ʻenau kau taú.
