1 Tuʻi 2:34-46

³⁴Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, pea naʻa ne hoko atu kiate ia, mo ne tāmateʻi ia: pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona ʻi he toafa.

³⁵Pea naʻe tuku ʻe he tuʻi ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata ke fetongi ia ʻi he pule ki he kautau: pea naʻe tuku ʻe he tuʻi ʻa Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki ke ne fetongi ʻa ʻApaiata.

³⁶Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ne ui mai ʻa Simi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Langa ʻe koe moʻou ha fale ʻi Selūsalema, pea nofo ai, pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu atu mei ai ki ha potu kehe.

³⁷He ko e moʻoni, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te ke ʻalu atu, mo ke Lakaatu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Kitiloni, ke ke ʻilo fakapapau te ke mate moʻoni ai: ʻe ʻi ho ʻulu ʻoʻou pe ho toto.”

³⁸Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Simi ki he tuʻi, “ʻOku lelei ʻae lea ko eni: ʻo hangē ko ia kuo lea ʻaki ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻe pehē ʻae fai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.” Pea naʻe nofo fuoloa ʻa Simi ʻi Selūsalema.

³⁹Pea ʻi heʻene ʻosi ʻae taʻu ʻe tolu naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe hola ʻae ongo tamaioʻeiki ʻa Simi kia ʻAkisi ko e foha ʻo Meaka ko e tuʻi ʻo Kati. Pea naʻa nau fakahā ange kia Simi, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, kuo ʻi Kati ʻa hoʻo ongo tamaioʻeiki.”

⁴⁰Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Simi, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae hekaʻanga ki heʻene ʻasi, pea ʻalu ia ki Kati kia ʻAkisi ke kumi ki heʻene ongo tamaioʻeiki: pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Simi, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa ʻene ongo tamaioʻeiki mei Kati.

⁴¹Pea naʻe fakahā kia Solomone, kuo ʻalu ʻa Simi mei Selūsalema ki Kati, pea kuo toe liu mai.

⁴²Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ne ui mai ʻa Simi, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻIkai naʻaku fekauʻi koe ke ke fuakava ʻia Sihova, pea u lea mamafa kiate koe, ʻo pehē, Ke ke ʻilo fakapapau, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te ke ʻalu atu, mo ʻeveʻeva mamaʻo ki ha potu, ke ke mate moʻoni ai? Pea naʻa ke pehē mai kiate au, ‘ʻOku lelei ʻae lea kuo u fanongo ki ai.’

⁴³Ko ia ko e hā kuo ʻikai ai te ke fai ki he fuakava ʻa Sihova, mo e fekau ʻaia kuo u tukupau kiate koe?

⁴⁴Naʻe pehē foki ʻe he tuʻi kia Simi, ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae kovi kotoa pē kuo fufū ʻi ho loto, ʻaia naʻa ke fai kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai: ko ia foki ʻe fakafoki ai ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo kovi ki ho ʻulu ʻoʻou;

⁴⁵Pea ʻe fakamonūʻia ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone, pea ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo Tevita ʻo taʻengata.”

⁴⁶Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi kia Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata; pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia, pea naʻa ne taaʻi ia ke ne mate. Pea naʻe fakamālohi ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he nima ʻo Solomone.
