1 Tuʻi 22:27-42

²⁷Pea fakahā ange, ʻOku pehē ʻe he tuʻi, ʻAi ʻae siana ni ki he fale pōpula, pea fafangaʻaki ia ʻae mā ʻoe fakamamahi mo e vai ʻoe fakamamahi ʻo aʻu ki heʻeku toe haʻu ʻi he melino.”

²⁸Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “Kapau te ke toe foki mai ʻi he melino, tā kuo ʻikai folofola ʻa Sihova ʻiate au.” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Mou fanongo kotoa pē, ʻakimoutolu ko e kakai.”

²⁹Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ki Lemoti-Kiliati.

³⁰Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, Te u fakapulipuli au, ʻi heʻeku hū atu ki he tau; ka ke ʻai ʻe koe ʻaho ngaahi kofu fakatuʻi. Pea naʻe fakapulipuli ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ka ka ʻalu atu ki he tau.

³¹Ka naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Silia ki heʻene ʻeiki ʻe toko tolungofulu ma ua naʻe pule ki heʻene ngaahi saliote ʻo pehē, ʻOua naʻa mo tau mo ia ʻoku siʻi pe ko ia ʻoku lahi, ka ko e tuʻi pe ʻo ʻIsileli.

³²Pea ʻi he mamata ē ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi saliote kia Sihosafate, naʻa nau pehē, ko eni moʻoni ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli. Pea naʻa nau foki atu ke tau mo ia: pea naʻe kalanga atu ʻa Sihosafate.

³³Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi saliote naʻe ʻikai ko e tuʻi ia ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau foki atu mei heʻenau tuli kiate ia.

³⁴Pea naʻe teke noa pe ʻe ha tangata ʻae kaufana, pea naʻe fanaʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he vahaʻa hokoʻanga ʻo ʻene mahafutau: ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai ki he tangata naʻe fakahinoʻi ʻa ʻene saliote, “Fakatafoki atu ho nima,” pea ke ʻave au mei he tau: he kuo u lavea.

³⁵Pea naʻe tupu ʻo lahi ʻae tau ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻe poupou hake ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono saliote ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Silia, pea naʻe pekia ia ʻi he efiafi: pea naʻe tafe ʻae toto mei he matalavea ki he loto saliote.

³⁶Pea feʻunga mo e tō hifo ʻae laʻā, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae fanongonongo ki he kautau, ʻo pehē, “Ke ʻalu ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono kolo, mo e tangata taki taha ki hono fonua ʻoʻona.”

³⁷Naʻe pehē ʻae pekia ʻae tuʻi, pea naʻe ʻomi ia ki Samēlia: pea naʻa nau fai ʻae putu ʻoe tuʻi ʻi Samēlia.

³⁸Pea naʻe fufulu ʻae saliote ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi he vaikeli ʻo Samēlia; pea naʻe ʻemo hake ʻe he fanga kulī ʻa hono toto pea naʻa nau fufulu ʻa ʻene mahafutau ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki.

³⁹Pea ko eni, ko e toenga ngāue ʻa ʻEhapi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, mo e fale lei naʻa ne ngaohi, mo e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē naʻa ne langa, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?

⁴⁰Ko ia, naʻe mohe ʻa ʻEhapi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAhasia.

⁴¹Pea naʻe kamata pule ʻa Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAsa ki Siuta ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

⁴²Naʻe tolungofulu ma nima ʻae taʻu ʻo Sihosafate ʻi heʻene kamata pule; pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma nima. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko ʻAsupa ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sili.
