1Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe maʻu ha ngoue vaine ʻe Napoti ko e tangata Sesilili, ʻaia naʻe ʻi Sesilili ʻo vāofi mo e fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo Samēlia.
2Pea naʻe lea ʻa ʻEhapi kia Napoti, ʻo pehē, “Tuku mai ho ngoue vaine, koeʻuhi ke u tō ai ʻae ngaahi ʻakau iiki, he ʻoku ofi mai ia ki hoku fale: pea te u totongi ʻaki ia ha ngoue vaine ʻoku lelei hake; pea kapau ʻe lelei kiate koe te u fakatatau hono totongi ʻaki ʻae paʻanga.”
3Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Napoti kia ʻEhapi, “Ke taʻofi au mei ai ʻe Sihova, ʻa ʻeku foaki ʻae tofiʻa ʻo ʻeku ngaahi tamai kiate koe.”
4Pea naʻe hū atu ʻa ʻEhapi ki hono fale kuo māfasia mo mamahi koeʻuhi ko e lea naʻe lea ʻaki kiate ia ʻe Napoti ko e tangata Sesilili; he kuo pehē ʻe ia, ʻe ʻikai siʻi te u foaki ʻae tofiʻa ʻo ʻeku ngaahi tamai kiate koe. Pea naʻa ne tokoto hifo ʻi hono mohenga, pea ne tafoki atu ʻa hono mata, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne kai ha meʻa.
5Ka naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻa Sisipeli ko hono uaifi mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku mamahi pehē fau ai ho loto, ʻoku ʻikai ai te ke kai ha meʻa?”
6Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Koeʻuhi naʻaku lea kia Napoti ko e tangata Sesilili, pea u pehē kiate ia, ‘Tuku mai kiate au hoʻo ngoue vaine ʻi ha totongi; pea kapau ʻe lelei kiate koe te u ʻatu ha ngoue vaine kehe ko hono fetongi:’ pea naʻa ne pehē mai, ‘ʻE ʻikai te u foaki kiate koe ʻa ʻeku ngoue vaine.’”
7Pea naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe Sisipeli ko hono uaifi, “ʻOku ke pule eni koā ki he puleʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli? Tuʻu hake, mo ke kai, pea tuku ke fiefia ho loto: te u ʻatu ʻeau kiate koe ʻae ngoue vaine ʻo Napoti ko e tangata Sesilili.”
8Ko ia naʻa ne fai ʻae ngaahi tohi ʻi he hingoa ʻo ʻEhapi, mo ne fakamaʻu ia ʻaki ʻa ʻene fakaʻilonga, mo ne ʻave ʻae ngaahi tohi ki he kau mātuʻa, mo e houʻeiki naʻe nonofo mo Napoti ʻi hono kolo.
9Pea naʻa ne tohi ʻi he ngaahi tohi, ʻo pehē, “Fanongonongo ha ʻaukai, pea ʻai ke māʻolunga hake ʻa Napoti ʻi he kakai:
10Pea tuku ha tangata ʻe toko ua, ko e fānau ʻoe angakovi, ke tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao, mo talatalaakiʻi ia, ʻo pehē, “Naʻa ke lea kapekape ki he ʻOtua pea mo e tuʻi.” Pea mou ʻave ia, mo lisingi ʻaki ʻae maka, ke ne mate ai.”
11Pea naʻe fai ʻe he kau tangata ʻo hono kolo, pea mo e kau mātuʻa, mo e houʻeiki ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi hono kolo, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Sisipeli kiate kinautolu, pea hangē ko e tohi ʻi he ngaahi tohi ʻaia naʻa ne ʻatu kiate kinautolu.
12Naʻa nau fanongonongo ʻae ʻaukai, mo nau fakamāʻolunga hake ʻa Napoti ʻi he kakai.
13Pea naʻe hū mai ha ongo tangata, ko e fānau ʻoe angakovi, ʻo na nofo ʻi hono ʻao: pea naʻe talatalaakiʻi ia ʻe he ongo tangata ʻoe angakovi, ʻio, kia Napoti, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, ʻo pehē, naʻe lea kapekape ʻa Napoti ki he ʻOtua pea mo e tuʻi. Pea naʻa nau toki ʻave ia ki he tuaʻā kolo, mo lisingi ia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka ke ne mate.
14Pea hili ia naʻa nau fekau kia Sisipeli, ʻo pehē, “Kuo lisingi ʻa Napoti pea kuo ne mate.”
15Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe Sisipeli kuo lisingi ʻa Napoti pea kuo ne mate, naʻe pehē ʻe Sisipeli kia ʻEhapi, “Tuʻu hake, mo maʻu ʻae ngoue vaine ʻo Napoti ko e tangata Sesilili, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne fie tuku kiate koe ʻi ha paʻanga: he ʻoku ʻikai moʻui ʻa Napoti ka kuo mate.”
16Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe ʻEhapi kuo mate ʻa Napoti, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa ʻEhapi ke ne ʻalu hifo ki he ngoue vaine ʻo Napoti ko e tangata Sesilili, ke ne maʻu ia maʻana.
17Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻIlaisiā ko e tangata Tisipa, ʻo pehē,
18“Tuʻu hake, mo ʻalu hifo ke fakafetaulaki kia ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Samēlia: vakai, ʻoku ne ʻi he ngoue vaine ʻo Napoti, ʻaia kuo ne ʻalu hifo ki ai ke maʻu ia maʻana.
19Pea te ke lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Kuo ke fai ʻae fakapō, pea kuo ke maʻu foki maʻau? Pea te ke lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻI he potu ko ia naʻe ʻemo ai ʻe he fanga kulī ʻae toto ʻo Napoti ʻe ʻemo ai ʻe he fanga kulī ho toto ʻoʻou, ʻio, ʻoʻou.’”
20Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEhapi kia ʻIlaisiā, “Kuo ke ʻiloʻi au, ʻa koe ko hoku fili?” Pea naʻa ne pehēange, “Kuo u ʻiloʻi koe; koeʻuhi kuo ke fakatau atu koe ke fai ha ngāue kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
21‘Vakai, te u fakahoko mai ʻae kovi kiate koe, pea te u toʻo ʻo ʻave ho hako, pea te u motuhi meia ʻEhapi ʻae kakai tangata, pea mo ia kuo tāpuni mo toe ʻi ʻIsileli,
22Pea te u ngaohi ho fale ke hangē ko e fale ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, pea hangē ko e fale ʻo Paʻasa ko e foha ʻo ʻAhisa, ko e meʻa ʻi he kovi kuo ke fakatupu ai ʻeku houhau, mo ke fakaangahala ai ʻa ʻIsileli.’
23Pea ia Sisipeli foki naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē, ʻE kai ʻa Sisipeli ʻe he fanga kulī ʻi he veʻe ʻa ʻo Sesilili.
24Ko ia ʻoku kau kia ʻEhapi ʻe mate ʻi he kolo ʻe kai ia ʻe he fanga kulī: pea ko ia ʻoku mate ʻi he ngoue ʻe keina ʻe he fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā.
25(“Ka naʻe ʻikai tatau ha tokotaha mo ʻEhapi, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatau ia ke fai ʻae ngāue kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ueʻi hake ʻe hono uaifi ko Sisipeli.
26Pea naʻa ne fai ʻo fakalielia lahi ʻi he muimui ki he ngaahi tamapua, ʻo tatau mo ia kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe he kakai ʻAmoli, ʻakinautolu naʻe kapusi atu ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.)
27Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe ʻEhapi ki he ngaahi lea ni, naʻa ne haehae hono ngaahi kofu, mo ne ʻai ʻae tauangaʻa ki hono sino, ʻo ne ʻaukai, mo ne tokoto hifo ʻi he tauangaʻa, mo ne ʻalu fakaʻehiʻehi.
28Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻIlaisiā ko e tangata Tisipa, ʻo pehē,
29“ʻOku ke mamata kia ʻEhapi mo ʻene fakavaivaiʻi ia ʻi hoku ʻao? Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fakavaivaiʻi ia ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻe ʻikai ai te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻona: ka ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono foha te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ki hono fale.”
