Ko Siona mo e Fuʻu Iká
SIO ki he tangata ʻi he loto tahí. ʻOkú ne fuʻu faingataʻaʻia lahi ʻaupito, ʻikai ko ia? Ko e ika ko ʻená ʻoku teu ke ne folo ia! ʻOkú ke ʻilo pe ko hai ʻa e tangata ko ʻení? Ko hono hingoá ko Siona. Tau sio ange pe ko e hā naʻe moʻua ai ʻi he faingataʻa lahi peheé.
Ko Sioná ko e palōfita ia ʻa Sihova. Naʻe ʻikai ke fuoloa mei he mate ʻa e palōfita ko ʻIlaisá naʻe tala ʻe Sihova kia Siona: ‘ʻAlu ki he kolo lahi ko Ninive. Ko e faikovi ʻa e kakai ʻi aí ʻoku fuʻu lahi, ko ia ʻoku ou fiemaʻu koe ke ke lea kiate kinautolu ʻo fekauʻaki mo e meʻa ko iá.’
Ka naʻe ʻikai ke fie ʻalu ʻa Siona ia. Ko ia naʻá ne heka ki ha vaka ʻoku ʻalu ia ki he feituʻu kehe kae ʻikai ko Ninive. Naʻe ʻikai ke fiemālie ʻa Sihova ki he hola ʻa Sioná. Ko ia naʻá Ne fakatupu ha fuʻu afā lahi. Naʻe fuʻu kovi ʻaupito ʻo ngali ʻe ngoto ai ʻa e vaká. Naʻe mātuʻaki fuʻu ilifia ʻa e kau kauvaká, pea naʻa nau ui ki honau ngaahi ʻotuá ki ha tokoni.
Faifai atu pē pea tala ʻe Siona kiate kinautolu: ‘ʻOku ou lotu kia Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ia naʻá ne ngaohi ʻa e langí mo e māmaní. Pea ʻoku ou hola mei hono fai ʻa e meʻa naʻe fakahā mai ʻe Sihova ke u fai.’ Ko ia naʻe ʻeke ʻe he kau kauvaká: ‘Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke mau fai kiate koe kae ʻosi ʻa e afaá?’
Naʻe pehē ʻe Siona: ‘Lī au ki tahi, pea ʻe toe nonga leva ʻa e tahí.’ Naʻe ʻikai ke fie fai ʻeni ʻe he kau kauvaká, ka ʻi he toe kovi ange ʻa e afaá naʻe iku ʻo nau lī ʻa Siona ki tahi. Naʻe ʻosi leva ʻa e afaá, pea toe nonga mo e tahi fokí.
ʻI he pulia hifo ʻa Siona ʻi he loto tahí, naʻe folo ia ʻe ha fuʻu ika. Ka naʻe ʻikai ke mate ʻa Siona. Naʻá ne ʻi he loto kete ʻo e iká ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu mo e pō ʻe tolu. Naʻe mātuʻaki fakatomala ʻa Siona ʻi he ʻikai te ne talangofua kia Sihova ʻo ʻalu ki Ninivé. Ko ia ʻokú ke ʻilo ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne faí?
Naʻe lotu ʻa Siona kia Sihova ki ha tokoni. Ko ia naʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ʻa e iká ke ne puʻaki ʻa Siona ki ha fonua mōmoa. Hili pē iá naʻe ʻalu leva ʻa Siona ki Ninive. ʻIkai ʻoku akoʻi heni kitautolu ki hono mahuʻinga ke tau fai ʻa ia pē ʻoku fakahā mai ʻe Sihová?
Tohi Siona ʻi he Tohitapú.
