1 Ko e ʻalu ʻae fefine Sunemi mei hono fonua ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu koeʻuhi ko e honge, ka koeʻuhi ko e fai meʻa mana ʻe ʻIlaisa ʻoku toe tuku ʻa hono fonua kiate ia. 7 Ko e lapa ʻoku fai ʻe Hasaeli mo ʻene hoko ai ki he pule. 16 Ko e pule kovi ʻa Siholami ʻi Siuta. 20 Ko e angatuʻu ʻa ʻItomi pea mo Lipina. 23 ʻOku hoko ʻa ʻAhasia kia Siholami ʻi he pule. 25 Ko ʻene pule kovi ʻaupito. 28 ʻOku lavea ʻa Siholami pea ʻoku ʻaʻahi kiate ʻa ʻAhasia ʻi Sesilili.
1 Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa ʻIlaisa ki he fefine, ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu moʻui ki ai ʻa ʻene tama, ʻo ne pehē, “Tuʻu hake, pea ʻalu ʻa koe mo ho kau nofoʻanga, pea ʻāunofo ʻi ha potu pe te ke faʻa ʻāunofo ki ai: he kuo pau pe meia Sihova ke ʻai ha honge; pea ʻe hoko foki ia ki he fonua ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu.” 2 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae fefine, ʻo ne fai ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe lea ki ai ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua: pea naʻa ne ʻalu fakataha mo hono kaungāʻapi, mo ne nofo ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu. 3 Pea ʻi heʻene hiliange ʻae taʻu ʻe fitu, naʻe toe liliu mai ʻae fefine mei he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia: pea naʻa ne ʻalu atu ke tangi ki he tuʻi ke toe maʻu ʻa hono fale pea mo hono fonua. 4 Pea naʻe alea ʻae tuʻi mo Kehesi ʻaia naʻe tamaioʻeiki ki he tangata ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ou kole ke ke fakahā mai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kotoa pē ʻaia kuo fai ʻe ʻIlaisa. 5 Pea ʻiloange, lolotonga ʻa ʻene fakahā ki he tuʻi, ʻa ʻene toe fakamoʻui ʻae sino mate, vakai, naʻe tangi mai ki he tuʻi ʻae fefine ʻaia naʻe fakamoʻui ki ai ʻa ʻene tama, ke ne toe maʻu mai ʻa hono fale pea mo hono fonua. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kehesi, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ko e fefine eni, pea ko ʻene tama eni, ʻaia naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe ʻIlaisa.” 6 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻeke atu ʻe he tuʻi ki he fefine, naʻa ne fakamatala ia kiate ia. Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi ki ha matāpule ʻe tokotaha, ʻo pehē, “Toe ʻatu kiate ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ʻaʻana, pea mo e tupu kotoa pē ʻo ʻene ngoue talu mei he ʻaho naʻa ne ʻalu ai mei he fonua, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.”
7 ¶ Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻa ʻIlaisa ki Tamasikusi; pea naʻe mahakiʻia ʻa Penihatati ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia; pea naʻe tala kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Kuo haʻu ki heni ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua. 8 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Hasaeli, Toʻo ha meʻaʻofa ʻi ho nima, pea ke ʻalu ʻo fakafetaulaki mo e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ke fehuʻi kia Sihova ʻiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Pe te u toe moʻui hake mei he mahaki ni?” 9 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Hasaeli ke fetaulaki mo ia, ʻo ne ʻave ʻae meʻaʻofa ʻi hono nima, ʻio, mei he meʻa lelei kotoa pē ʻi Tamasikusi, ko e ngaahi kavenga naʻe fua ʻe he fanga kāmeli ʻe fāngofulu, pea naʻa ne haʻu ʻo tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao, mo ne pehē, Kuo fekauʻi au ʻe ho foha ko Penihatati ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia, ke pehē, “Te u toe moʻui hake mei he mahaki ni pe ʻikai?” 10 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate ia, “ʻAlu, ʻo tala kiate ia, ʻOku ke faʻa moʻui hake moʻoni: ka kuo fakahā mai ʻe Sihova ko e moʻoni pe te ne mate.” 11 Pea naʻe sio fakamamaʻu ia, pea naʻa ne mā ai: pea naʻe tangi ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua. 12 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hasaeli, “Ko e hā ʻoku tangi ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “Koeʻuhi ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻae kovi kotoa pē ʻaia te ke fai ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: te ke tutu ʻa honau ngaahi kolo tau, pea te ke tāmateʻi ʻa ʻenau kau talavou ʻaki ʻae heletā, pea te ke laiki ʻa ʻenau tamaiki, mo fahiʻi ʻae kau fefine ʻoku feitama.” 13 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hasaeli, “Ka ko e hā, ko e kulī ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko au, ke u fai ha meʻa pehē fau?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ʻIlaisa, “Kuo fakaʻilo mai ʻe Sihova ke ke tuʻi ko e ki Silia.” 14 Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu ai meia ʻIlaisa, mo ne haʻu ki heʻene ʻeiki; ʻaia naʻe pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae lea ʻa ʻIlaisa kiate koe? Pea naʻa ne pehēange, naʻa ne fakahā mai te ke moʻui hake moʻoni.” 15 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho naʻe feholoi, naʻe toʻo ʻe Hasaeli ha konga holo matolu, mo ne unu ia ʻi he vai, pea naʻa ne folahi ia ki hono mata, ke ne mate ai: pea naʻe fetongi ai ia ʻi he pule ʻe Hasaeli.
16 ¶ Pea ʻi hono nima ʻoe taʻu ʻo Solami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ka naʻe tuʻi ʻa Sihosafate ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻi Siuta, naʻe kamata pule ʻa Siholami ko e foha ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta. 17 Naʻe tolungofulu ma ua ʻa ʻene taʻu ʻi heʻene kamata pule; pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe valu ʻi Selūsalema. 18 Pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he naʻa ne mali mo e ʻofefine ʻo ʻEhapi: pea naʻa ne fai ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova. 19 Ka naʻe ʻikai fie fakaʻauha ʻa Siuta ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi pe ko Tevita ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia naʻa ne talaʻofa ki ai ke foaki maʻuaipē kiate ia ha maama, pea ki hono hako.
20 ¶ ʻI hono kuonga ʻoʻona naʻe angatuʻu ʻa ʻItomi ki he pule ʻa Siuta, pea naʻa nau fakanofo ha tuʻi maʻanautolu pe. 21 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻa Solami ki Saili, pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae ngaahi saliote kotoa pē: pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake ʻi he poʻuli, mo ne teʻia ʻae kakai ʻItomi naʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate ia, pea mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi saliote: pea naʻe feholaki ʻae kakai ki honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki. 22 Ka kuo angatuʻu ʻa ʻItomi ki he pule ʻa Siuta ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni. Pea naʻe angatuʻu ʻa Lipina ʻi he kuonga pe ko ia. 23 Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Solami, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta? 24 Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Solami ki heʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ki he potu ʻa ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he kolo ʻo Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAhasia.
25 ¶ Pea ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Solami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe kamata pule ʻa ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo Siholami ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta. 26 Naʻe uofulu ma ua ʻae taʻu ʻoe motuʻa ʻa ʻAhasia ʻi heʻene kamata pule; pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe taha. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko ʻAtalia, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Omili ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli. 27 Pea naʻa ne ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala ʻoe fale ʻo ʻEhapi, mo ne fai ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he ko e foha ia ʻi he fono ki he fale ʻo ʻEhapi.
28 ¶ Pea naʻa ne ʻalu mo Solami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ki he tau naʻe fai kia Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻi Lemoti-Kiliati; pea naʻe lavea ʻa Solami ʻi he kakai Silia. 29 Pea naʻe toe ʻalu ʻa Solami ki Sesilili ke fakamoʻui ʻa hono ngaahi lavea ʻaia naʻe lavea ai ia ʻi he kakai Silia ʻi Lama, ʻi heʻene tauʻi ʻa Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia. Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo Siholami ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ke mamata kia Solami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ʻi Sesilili, ko e meʻa ʻi hono lavea.
