ʻUluaki Sāmiuela 8:1-22
8 ʻI he tupu ʻa Sāmiuela ʻo motuʻá, naʻá ne fakanofo hono ongo fohá ke na hoko ko e ongo fakamaau ki ʻIsileli.
2 Ko e hingoa hono ʻuluaki fohá ko Sioeli, pea ko e hingoa ʻa hono foha hono uá ko ʻĀpaia;+ naʻá na hoko ko e ongo fakamaau ʻi Pea-sipa.
3 Ka naʻe ʻikai ke fou hono ongo fohá ʻi hono ngaahi ʻalungá; naʻá na hehema ke tuli ke maʻu ha ngaahi tupu taʻetotonu,+ naʻá na tali ha ngaahi totongi fufū,+ pea naʻá na pikoʻi ʻa e fakamaau totonú.+
4 ʻI he faai atu ʻa e taimí naʻe fakatahataha kotoa ai ʻa e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsilelí pea nau haʻu kia Sāmiuela ki Lama.
5 Naʻa nau pehē kiate ia: “Vakai! Kuó ke motuʻa, ka ko ho ongo fohá ʻoku ʻikai ke na fou ʻi ho ngaahi ʻalungá. Ko ia fakanofo maʻamautolu ha tuʻi ke ne fakamaau kiate kimautolu ʻo hangē ko e kotoa ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga kehé.”+
6 Ka naʻe ʻikai ke leleiʻia ʻa Sāmiuela ʻi heʻenau* pehē: “ʻOmai hamau tuʻi ke fakamaau kiate kimautolu.” Pea naʻe lotu leva ʻa Sāmiuela kia Sihova,
7 pea folofola ʻa Sihova kia Sāmiuela: “Fanongo ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he kakaí kiate koé; he ʻoku ʻikai ko koe ia kuo nau talitekeʻí, ka ko au ia kuo nau talitekeʻi mei heʻeku hoko ko honau tuʻí.+
8 ʻOku nau fai ʻa e meʻa tofu pē naʻa nau fai mei he ʻaho naʻá ku ʻomi ai kinautolu mei ʻIsipité ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻahó ni; ʻoku nau hanganaki liʻaki au+ pea tauhi ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehé,+ pea ko e meʻa ia ʻoku nau fai kiate koé.
9 Ko ia fanongo kiate kinautolu. Kae kehe, te ke mātuʻaki fakatokanga kiate kinautolu; tala kiate kinautolu ʻa e meʻa ʻa ia ko e totonu ia ʻa e tuʻi ʻe pule kiate kinautolú ke ne kounaʻí.”
10 Ko ia naʻe tala ange ʻe Sāmiuela ki he kakai ʻa ia naʻa nau kole kiate ia hanau tuʻí ʻa e folofola kotoa ʻa Sihová.
11 Naʻá ne pehē: “Ko e meʻa eni ʻa ia ko e totonu ia ʻa e tuʻi ʻe pule kiate kimoutolú ke ne kounaʻí:+ Te ne ʻave homou ngaahi fohá+ ʻo fakaheka kinautolu ʻi heʻene ngaahi salioté+ pea ʻai kinautolu ko ʻene kau heka hoosi,+ pea ko e niʻihi te nau lele ʻi muʻa ʻi heʻene ngaahi salioté.
12 Pea te ne fakanofo maʻana ha ngaahi ʻeiki ki he ngaahi toko afe+ pea mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ki he ngaahi toko nimangofulu,+ pea ko e niʻihi te nau fai ʻa ʻene palaú,+ fai ʻa e tuʻusi ʻi heʻene utu-taʻú,+ pea ngaohi ʻene ngaahi meʻataú mo e naunau ki heʻene ngaahi salioté.+
13 Te ne ʻave homou ngaahi ʻofefiné ke nau hoko ko e kau ngaohi meʻa namu-kakala, kau feimeʻatokoni mo e kau taʻo-mā.+
14 Te ne ʻave ʻa e lelei taha ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi konga kelekelé, ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi ngoue kālepí, pea mo hoʻomou ngaahi ngoue ʻōlivé,+ pea te ne foaki ia ki heʻene kau sevānití.
15 Te ne ʻave ʻa e vahe hongofulu mei he fua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi ngoué mo hoʻomou ngaahi ngoue kālepí, pea te ne foaki ia ki heʻene kau ʻōfisa ʻi he lotoʻaá pea ki heʻene kau sevānití.
16 Pea te ne ʻave ʻa hoʻomou kau tamaioʻeikí mo hoʻomou kau kaunangá, mo hoʻomou fanga pulu lelei tahá, pea mo hoʻomou fanga ʻasí, pea te ne ngāueʻaki kinautolu ke fai ʻene ngāué.+
17 Te ne ʻave ʻa e vahe hongofulu ʻo hoʻomou fanga sipí,+ pea te mou hoko ko ʻene kau sevāniti.
18 ʻE hoko mai ʻa e ʻaho te mou tangi ai koeʻuhi ko e tuʻi naʻa mou fili maʻamoutolú,+ ka ʻe ʻikai fai atu ʻe Sihova ha tali kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho ko iá.”
19 Ka neongo ia, naʻe fakafisi ʻa e kakaí ke fanongo ki he meʻa naʻe tala ange ʻe Sāmiuela kiate kinautolú, pea nau pehē: “ʻIkai, kuo mau fakapapauʻi ke fokotuʻu ha tuʻi ke pule mai kiate kimautolu.
20 Te mau hangē leva ai ko e kotoa ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga kehé, pea ko homau tuʻí te ne fakamaau kiate kimautolu mo tataki kimautolu mo faitau ʻi heʻemau ngaahi taú.”
21 ʻI he hili ʻa e fanongo ʻa Sāmiuela ki he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi lea ʻa e kakaí, naʻá ne toe leaʻaki ia ke fanongo ki ai ʻa Sihova.
22 Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Sāmiuela: “Fanongo kiate kinautolu, pea fakanofo ha tuʻi ke pule kiate kinautolu.”+ Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Sāmiuela ki he kau tangata ʻo ʻIsilelí: “Mou taki taha foki ki hono kolo.”
