Nomipā 14:27-44

²⁷“ʻE fēfē hono fai fuoloa ʻae kakai kovi ni, mo ʻenau lāunga kiate au? Kuo u fanongo ki he lāunga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, kuo nau lāunga ai kiate au.

²⁸Ke ke tala kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e moʻoni ʻa ʻeku moʻui, pea te u fai kiate kimoutolu ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou lea ʻi hoku telinga:

²⁹‌ʻE tō homou ʻangaʻanga ʻi he toafa ni ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe lau ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻo fakatatau ki homou lau kotoa pē, mei hono taʻu ʻe uofulu tupu, ʻakinautolu ʻaia kuo lāunga kiate au,

³⁰Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te mou hoko atu ki he fonua, ʻaia ne u fuakava ke tuku kiate kimoutolu ke mou nofo ai, ka ko Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune, mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni.

³¹Ka ko hoʻomou fānau, ʻakinautolu naʻa mou pehē ki ai tenau pōpula, te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki ai, pea ʻe ʻilo ʻekinautolu ʻae fonua kuo mou liʻaki.

³²Ka ko kimoutolu, ʻe tō homou ʻangaʻanga ʻi he toafa ni.

³³Pea ʻe ʻalu fano pe hoʻomou fānau ʻi he toafa ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, ʻo fua hoʻomou feʻauaki, kaeʻoua ke ʻosiʻosi homou ʻangaʻanga ʻi he toafa.

³⁴‌ʻE fakatatau ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻaia naʻa mou mataki ai ʻae fonua, ʻio, ko e ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, ko e ʻaho taki taha ki he taʻu ʻe taha, ʻio, ko e taʻu ʻe fāngofulu te mou fua hoʻomou angahala, pea te mou ʻilo ai ʻeku fakamamahi,

³⁵Kuo u lea ʻaki eni ʻeau ko Sihova, ko e moʻoni te u fai ia ki he kakai kovi ni kotoa pē, kuo tānaki ʻo fakataha ke angatuʻu kiate au: ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa ni, pea tenau mate ʻi ai.

³⁶Pea ko e kau tangata, naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kenau ʻalu ʻo vakai ki he fonua, ne nau liliu mai, pea naʻa nau fakalanga lāunga ʻi he kakai kiate ia, ʻi heʻenau ʻomi ʻae ongoongo kovi ʻoe fonua,

³⁷‌ʻIo, ʻae kau tangata naʻe ʻomi ʻae ongoongo kovi ʻoe fonua, naʻa nau mate ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha.

³⁸Ka naʻe fakamoʻui ʻa Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, mo Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune, naʻa na ʻiate kinautolu naʻe ʻalu ke vakai ki he fonua.

³⁹Pea naʻe tala ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngaahi lea ni ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻe loto mamahi lahi ʻae kakai.

⁴⁰Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake pe, pea naʻa nau ō ki he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga, ʻonau pehē, “Vakai, kuo tau ʻi heni, ka tau ō ki he potu ʻaia kuo talaʻofa ki ai ʻe Sihova: he kuo mau angahala.”

⁴¹Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Ko e hā eni ʻoku mou talangataʻa ai ki he fekau ʻa Sihova? Ka ʻe ʻikai monūʻia ia.

⁴²‌ʻOua naʻa mou ʻalu hake, he ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa Sihova; naʻa taaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou ngaahi fili.

⁴³He ko e kau ʻAmaleki mo e kau Kēnani ʻoku nau ʻi ai ʻi homou ʻao, pea te mou tō ʻi he heletā: koeʻuhi kuo mou fulituʻa kia Sihova, ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa Sihova.”

⁴⁴Ka naʻa nau talangataʻa pe ʻonau ʻalu ki he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga: ka ko e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, pea mo Mōsese, naʻe ʻikai ʻalu mei he ʻapitanga.
