1 Tuʻi 15:9-25

⁹Pea naʻe hoko ʻa ʻAsa ʻo pule ki Siuta ʻi hono uofulu ʻoe taʻu ʻa Selopoami ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

¹⁰Pea naʻe pule ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ma taha. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene kui ko Meaka, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻApisalomi.

¹¹Pea naʻe fai ʻe ʻAsa ʻaia naʻe totonu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko Tevita ko ʻene tamai.

¹²Pea naʻa ne ʻave mei he fonua ʻae kakai angafakasotoma, mo ne ʻave ʻae ngaahi tamapua ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe heʻene ngaahi tamai.

¹³Pea ko Meaka foki ko ʻene kui naʻa ne liliu ia mei heʻene nofo ko e tuʻi fefine, koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaohi ha tamapua ʻi ha vao tapu; pea naʻe maumauʻi ʻe ʻAsa ʻa hono tamapua, ʻo ne tutu ia ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ko Kitiloni.

¹⁴Ka naʻe ʻikai liʻaki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga: ka neongo ia naʻe angatonu kia Sihova ʻae loto ʻo ʻAsa ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.

¹⁵Pea naʻa ne fetuku mai ʻae ngaahi meʻa tapu ʻaia naʻe fakatapui ʻe heʻene tamai, mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻa ne fakatapui ʻe ia, ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻae siliva, mo e koula, pea mo e ngaahi ipu.

¹⁶Pea naʻe faʻa tau ʻa ʻAsa pea mo Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi hona ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.

¹⁷Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki Siuta, pea naʻa ne langa ʻa Lama, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ne tuku ha tokotaha ke ʻalu atu pe hū mai kia ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.

¹⁸Pea naʻe toki ʻave ʻe ʻAsa ʻae toenga siliva mo e koula kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe tuku ʻi he ngaahi tukunga koloa ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, mo e koloa ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo ne ʻatu ia ki he nima ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki: pea naʻe ʻave ia ʻe ʻAsa kia Peni-Hatati, ko e foha ʻo Tapilimoni, ko e foha ʻo Hesioni, ko e foha ʻo Tapilimoni, ko e foha ʻo Hesioni, ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Tamasikusi, ʻo ne lea ʻo pehē,

¹⁹Kuo ta fefuakavaʻaki ʻakitaua, pea pehē mo ʻeku tamai pea mo hoʻo tamai: “Pea vakai, kuo u fekau atu kiate koe ha meʻaʻofa ko e siliva mo e koula; haʻu ʻo maumauʻi ʻa hoʻo fuakava mo Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻalu ʻiate au.”

²⁰Ko ia naʻe tokanga ʻa Peni-Hatati ki he tuʻi ko ʻAsa, mo ne fekau atu ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻoe kautau naʻe ʻiate ia ke tauʻi ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne teʻia ʻa Isoni, mo Tani, mo ʻEpeli-Petemeʻaka, pea mo Kineloti kātoa, pea mo e fonua kotoa pē ʻo Nafitali.

²¹Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai ʻa Paʻasa, naʻa ne tutuku mei heʻene langa ʻa Lama, pea nofo ia ʻi Tilisa.

²²Pea naʻe toki fai fono ʻe ʻAsa ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo Siuta; naʻe ʻikai ha potu ʻe taʻekau: pea naʻa nau fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi maka ʻo Lama, pea mo hono ngaahi ʻakau, ʻaia naʻe langa ʻaki ia ʻe Paʻasa; pea naʻe langa ʻaki ia ʻe ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻa Kepa ʻo Penisimani, pea mo Misipa.

²³Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue naʻe fai ʻe ʻAsa, pea mo ʻene mālohi kātoa, mo ia fulipē naʻa ne fai, mo e ngaahi kolo naʻa ne langa, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta? Ka ʻi he kuonga ʻo ʻene motuʻa lahi naʻa ne mahakiʻia ʻi hono vaʻe.

²⁴Pea naʻe mohe ʻa ʻasi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ki he potu ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe pule ʻa Sihosafate ko hono foha, ko hono fetongi.

²⁵Pea naʻe kamata pule ʻa Natapi ko e foha ʻo Selopoami ʻi ʻIsileli ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea naʻa ne pule ki ʻIsileli ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua.
