Fakamaau 13:7-24

⁷Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate au, Vakai, te ke feitama, pea fanauʻi ʻae tama; pea ko eni, ʻoua naʻa ke inu uaine pe ha inu mālohi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke kai ha meʻa taʻemaʻa: koeʻuhi ʻe fakamavahe ʻae tama ki he ʻOtua mei he manāva ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene pekia.”

⁸Pea naʻe toki kole fakamātoato ʻe Manoa kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, ke ke tuku ke toe haʻu ʻae tangata ʻae ʻOtua ʻaia naʻa ke fekau kiate kimaua, pea ako kiate kimaua ʻaia te ma fai ki he tamasiʻi ʻaia ʻe fanauʻi.”

⁹Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae leʻo ʻo Manoa; pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ki he fefine ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi he ngoue: ka naʻe ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻa Manoa.

¹⁰Pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe he fefine pea lele ʻo fakahā ki hono husepāniti, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo fakahā kiate au ʻae tangata, ʻaia naʻe haʻu kiate au ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha.”

¹¹Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Manoa, pea ʻalu mo hono uaifi, ʻo na hoko atu ki he tangata, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko koe ʻae tangata naʻe lea ki he fefine?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au.”

¹²Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Manoa, “Ko eni ke fakatonutonu hoʻo ngaahi lea. ʻE fēfē ʻema ngaohi ʻae tamasiʻi, pea ko e hā te ma fai kiate ia?”

¹³Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kia Manoa, “Ke tokanga ʻae fefine ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻaku tala kiate ia.

¹⁴Ke ʻoua naʻa kai ʻe ia ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku tupu ʻi he vaine, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ia ke inu uaine, pe ha inu mālohi, pe kai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku taʻemaʻa: ke tokanga ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻaku fekau kiate ia.”

¹⁵Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Manoa ki he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke ma taʻofi koe, kaeʻoua ke ma teu maʻau ha ʻuhikiʻi manu.”

¹⁶Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kia Manoa, “Neongo ʻa hoʻo taʻofi au, ka ʻe ʻikai te u kai ʻi hoʻo mā: pea kapau ʻoku ke fie ʻatu ha feilaulau tutu, ʻoku totonu ke ke ʻatu ia kia Sihova.” He naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe Manoa ko e ʻāngelo ia ʻa Sihova.

¹⁷Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Manoa ki he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova, “Ko hai ho hingoa, koeʻuhi ʻoka hoko hono fakamoʻoni ʻo hoʻo ngaahi lea ke mau fakaongolelei koe?”

¹⁸Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke fehuʻi ai ki hoku hingoa, kae ʻosi ʻoku fufū ia?”

¹⁹Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Manoa ʻae ʻuhikiʻi manu mo e feilaulau meʻakai, pea ne ʻatu ia kia Sihova ʻi he funga maka pea naʻe fai meʻa fakaofo ʻe he ʻāngelo pea naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa Manoa mo hono uaifi.

²⁰Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ʻalu hake ki langi ʻae ulo afi mei he funga feilaulauʻanga, naʻe hāʻele hake ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ʻi he ulo afi mei he funga feilaulauʻanga. Pea naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa Manoa mo hono uaifi, pea naʻa na tō ki hona mata ki he kelekele.

²¹Ka naʻe ʻikai toe fakahāhā ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kia Manoa pē ki hono uaifi. Pea naʻe toki ʻilo ai ʻe Manoa ko e ʻāngelo ia ʻa Sihova.

²²Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Manoa ki hono uaifi, “Ko e moʻoni te ta mate, koeʻuhi kuo ta mamata ki he ʻOtua.”

²³Ka naʻe lea hono uaifi kiate ia, “Ka ne finangalo ʻa Sihova ke tāmateʻi ʻakitaua, pehē ne ʻikai maʻu ʻe ia ʻae feilaulau tutu, mo e feilaulau meʻakai ʻi hota nima, pea ʻe ʻikai foki te ne fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kitaua, pea ʻe ʻikai foki te ne fai ha ngaahi tala pehē kiate kitaua ʻi he kuonga pehē.”

²⁴Pea naʻe fānau ʻe he fefine ʻae tama, pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ko Samisoni: pea naʻe tupu pe ʻae tama, pea tāpuakiʻi ia ʻe Sihova.
