Selemaia 41:1-18
41 ʻI he māhina hono fitú, naʻe haʻu ai ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli+ ko e foha ʻo Nētanaia ko e foha ʻo ʻElisamá, ʻa ia naʻe haʻu mei he laine fakatuʻí* pea ko e taha ia ʻo e kau tangata tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻa e tuʻí, mo e kau tangata kehe ʻe toko hongofulu kia Ketalaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikamí ki Misipā.+ Lolotonga ʻenau kai fakataha ʻi Misipaá,
2 naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Nētanaiá mo e kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu naʻe ʻiate iá ʻo nau taaʻi ʻa Ketalaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Sāfaní ʻaki ʻa e heletā. Ko ia naʻá ne tāmateʻi ai ʻa e tokotaha naʻe fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Pāpiloné ke pule ki he fonuá.
3 Naʻe taaʻi foki ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ʻa e kau Siu kotoa naʻe ʻia Ketalaia ʻi Misipaá, pea pehē ki he kau sōtia Kalitia naʻe ʻi aí.
4 ʻI he ʻaho hono ua ʻi he hili hono tāmateʻi ʻa Ketalaiá ki muʻa ke ʻilo ki ai ha tahá,
5 naʻe omi ai ha kau tangata ʻe toko 80 mei Sīkemi,+ mei Sailo,+ pea mei Samēlia.+ Naʻe tele honau kavá, pea hae mo honau ngaahi kofú, pea naʻa nau tafatafaʻi kinautolu,+ pea naʻa nau toʻo mai ha ngaahi feilaulau meʻakai mo ha ʻinisēnisi hinehina+ ke ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihová.
6 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Nētanaiá mei Misipā ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinautolu mo ne tangi pē ʻi heʻene ʻalu atú. ʻI heʻene fetaulaki mo kinautolú, naʻá ne pehē ange: “Mou omi kia Ketalaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikamí.”
7 Ka ʻi heʻenau hū ki he koló, naʻe tāmateʻi ai kinautolu ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Nētanaiá mo ʻene kau tangatá pea laku kinautolu ki he lepá.
8 Ka naʻe ʻi ai ha kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ʻiate kinautolu naʻa nau pehē kia ʻIsimeʻeli: “ʻOua te ke tāmateʻi kimautolu, he ʻoku ʻi ai haʻamau tukuʻanga meʻakai fufū ʻi he vaó ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e uite, paʻale, lolo, pea mo e hone.” Ko ia naʻe ʻikai te ne tāmateʻi kinautolu fakataha mo honau fanga tokouá.
9 Pea naʻe laku ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ʻa e ʻangaʻanga kotoa ʻo e kau tangata naʻá ne tāmateʻí ki ha fuʻu lepa, ko e lepa naʻe ngaohi ʻe Tuʻi ʻAsa koeʻuhí ko Tuʻi Paasa ʻo ʻIsilelí.+ Ko e lepa eni naʻe fakafonu ai ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Nētanaiá ʻa e kau tangata naʻe tāmateʻí.
10 Naʻe taki pōpula ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ʻa e toenga kotoa ʻo e kakai ʻi Misipaá,+ ʻo kau ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo e tuʻí mo e kakai kotoa naʻe toe ʻi Misipā ʻa ia naʻe tuku ʻe Nepusaletani ko e pule ʻo e kau kaʻaté ke tokangaʻi ʻe Ketalaia+ ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikamí. Naʻe taki pōpula kinautolu ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Nētanaiá ʻo ne ʻalu atu ke kolosi ki he kau ʻĀmoní.+
11 ʻI he fanongo ʻa Siohānani+ ko e foha ʻo Kaleá mo e kau ʻeikitau kotoa naʻe ʻiate iá ʻo fekauʻaki mo e kovi kotoa naʻe fai ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Nētanaiá,
12 naʻa nau ʻave ʻa e kau tangatá kotoa pea nau ʻalu atu ke faitau mo ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Nētanaiá, pea naʻa nau ʻilo ia ʻi he veʻe vai lahi* ʻi Kipioné.
13 Naʻe fiefia ʻa e kakai kotoa naʻe ʻia ʻIsimeʻelí ʻi heʻenau sio kia Siohānani ko e foha ʻo Kaleá pea mo e kau ʻeikitau kotoa naʻe ʻiate iá.
14 Pea ko e kakai kotoa naʻe taki pōpula ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli mei Misipaá+ naʻa nau tafoki ʻo ʻalu pea mo Siohānani ko e foha ʻo Kaleá.
15 Ka ko ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Nētanaiá pea mo e toko valu ʻo ʻene kau tangatá naʻa nau hola meia Siohānani ʻo nau ʻalu ki he kau ʻĀmoní.
16 Naʻe ʻave ʻe Siohānani ko e foha ʻo Kaleá mo e kau ʻeikitau kotoa naʻe ʻiate iá ʻa e toenga ʻo e kakai mei Misipaá, ʻa e faʻahinga naʻa nau fakahaofi meia ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Nētanaiá hili ʻene taaʻi ʻa Ketalaia+ ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikamí. Naʻa nau fakafoki mai ʻa e kau tangata, kau sōtia, kau fefine, mo e fānau, pea mo e kau ʻōfisa ʻo e lotoʻaá mei Kipione.
17 Ko ia naʻa nau ʻalu atu ʻo nofo ʻi he fale tali fononga ʻo Kīmamí ʻa ia ʻoku ofi ki Pētelihema,+ ko e taumuʻá ke nau ʻalu ki ʻIsipite+
18 koeʻuhi ko e kau Kalitiá. He naʻa nau ilifia ʻiate kinautolu koeʻuhí kuo taaʻi ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Nētanaiá ʻa Ketalaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikamí, ʻa ia naʻe fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Pāpiloné ke pule ki he fonuá.+
