1 ʻOku ngaohikoviʻi ʻaupito ʻae kau tangata fekau naʻe ʻalu meia Tevita ke ʻaʻahi fakafiemālie kia Hanuni ko e foha ʻo Nahasi. 6 ʻOku ikuna ʻae kakai ʻAmoni mo e kakai Silia ʻe Soape mo ʻApisai. 16 ʻOku toe taki mai ʻae kautau Silia ʻe Sofaki pea ʻoku tāmateʻi ia ʻe Tevita.
1 Pea hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe pekia ʻae tuʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ko Nahasi, pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha. 2 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, Te u fai ʻofa kia Hanuni ko e foha ʻo Nahasi, koeʻuhi naʻe fai ʻofa kiate au ʻe heʻene tamai. Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Tevita ʻae kau tangata ke lea fakafiemālie kiate ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene tamai. Pea pehē, “Naʻe hoko atu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Tevita ki he fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni kia Hanuni koeʻuhi ke fakafiemālie kiate ia.” 3 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he houʻeiki ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni kia Hanuni, “ʻOku ke mahalo koā kuo fai fakaʻapaʻapa ʻe Tevita ki hoʻo tamai, ʻi heʻene fekau mai ʻae kau fakafiemālie kiate koe? Ka ʻikai kuo haʻu ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke hakule, pea ke fakahingaʻi, pea ke matakiʻi ʻae fonua?” 4 Ko ia naʻe puke ʻe Hanuni ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Tevita, mo ne tele honau kava, mo ne tuʻusi ua ʻa honau ngaahi kofu ʻo feʻunga mo honau tuʻungaiku, mo ne toki fekauʻi ke nau ʻalu. 5 Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae niʻihi mo nau fakahā kia Tevita ʻae meʻa kuo fai ki he kau tangata. Pea naʻa ne fekau atu ke fetaulaki kiate kinautolu: he naʻe mā lahi ʻaupito ʻae kau tangata. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, Mou nofo ki Seliko kaeʻoua ke tupu hake ʻa homou kava, pea mou toki omi.
6 ¶ Pea ʻi he toki ʻilo ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni kuo nau fakanamukūʻi ʻakinautolu kia Tevita, naʻe ʻave ʻe Hanuni mo e fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ha taleniti siliva ʻe afe ke totongi ʻaki ha ngaahi saliote mo e kau heka hoosi mei Mesopōtemia, pea mei Silia-Meaka, pea mei Sopa. 7 Ko ia naʻa nau totongi ke maʻu ai ʻae ngaahi saliote ʻe tolu mano mo e ua afe, pea mo e tuʻi ʻo Meaka pea mo hono kakai; pea naʻa nau haʻu ʻo fakanofo ʻenau tau ʻi Metipa. Pea naʻe fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni mei honau ngaahi kolo, ʻonau haʻu ki he tau. 8 Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai ʻa Tevita, naʻa ne fekau atu ʻa Soape, pea mo e kautau kotoa pē ko e kau tangata toʻa lahi. 9 Pea naʻe hū mai kituʻa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni mo nau fakanofo ʻae tau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe matapā ʻoe kolo: pea naʻe nofo kehe fakataha ʻae ngaahi tuʻi naʻe haʻu, ʻi he potu ngoue. 10 Pea ʻi heʻene sio ʻe Soape kuo fakanofo ʻae kautau ke tauʻi ia ʻi ʻao pea mei tuʻa, naʻa ne fili mai ʻae kau mālohi mei ʻIsileli, mo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Silia. 11 Pea naʻa ne tuku ʻa hono toe ʻoe kakai ki he nima ʻo hono tokoua ko ʻApisai, pea naʻa nau tali tau ʻakinautolu ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni. 12 Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Kapau ʻe mālohi fau ʻae kakai Silia kiate au, te mou toki tokoni kiate au; pea kapau ʻe mālohi fau ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni kiate koe, te u toki tokoni ʻeau kiate koe. 13 Mou lototoʻa, pea ke tau fai ngalingali tangata mā ʻahotau kakai, pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi kolo ʻo hotau ʻOtua, pea ke fai ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ʻoku ne finangalo lelei ki ai.” 14 Ko ia naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Soape mo e kakai naʻe kau mo ia, ki he ʻao ʻoe kakai Silia ke fai ʻae tau; pea naʻa nau hola mei hono ʻao. 15 Pea ʻi he sio ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni kuo hola ʻae kakai Silia, naʻa nau hola foki ʻakinautolu mei he ʻao ʻo ʻApisai ko hono tokoua, mo ne hū atu ki he kolo. Hili ia naʻe haʻu ʻa Soape ki Selūsalema.
16 ¶ Pea ʻi he sio ʻe he kakai Silia kuo nau tuʻutāmaki ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau kouna atu ʻae kau tangata fekau, ke nau ʻomi ʻae kau Silia naʻe nofo ʻi he kau vai ʻe taha: pea naʻe tataki ʻakinautolu ʻe Sofaki ko e ʻeiki ki he kautau ʻo Hetatesa. 17 Pea naʻe fakahā ia kia Tevita; pea naʻa ne tānaki fakataha ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa, mo ne Lakaatu ʻi he Soatani, mo ne hoko atu kiate kinautolu, pea ne teuteu ke fai ʻae tau kiate kinautolu. Pea pehē, hili ʻae teuteu ʻae tau ʻe Tevita ke fai ki he kakai Silia, naʻa nau fai mo ia ʻae tau. 18 Ka naʻe hola ʻae kakai Silia mei he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Tevita ʻoe kakai Silia ʻae kau tangata naʻe heka saliote, ko e toko fitu afe, mo e kakai hāʻele ʻe toko fā mano, pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻa Sofaki ko e ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he kautau. 19 Pea ʻi he sio ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Hetatesa kuo nau tuʻutāmaki ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau alea ke nau melino mo Tevita, pea naʻa nau hoko ʻo tokalalo kiate ia: pea naʻe ʻikai toe loto ʻae kakai Silia ke tokoni ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
