Siosiua 1:1-18
1 ʻI he hili ʻa e mate ʻa Mōsese ko e sevāniti ʻa Sihová, naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua*+ ko e foha ʻo Nuní, ʻa e sevāniti+ ʻa Mōsesé ʻo ne pehē:
2 “Ko Mōsese ko ʻeku sevānití kuo mate.+ Ko eni ke ke tuʻu hake ʻo kolosi ʻi Sioatani, ʻa koe mo e kakai kotoa ko ení, pea hū atu ki he fonua ʻoku ou foaki kiate kinautolú, ki he kakai ʻo ʻIsilelí.+
3 Te u foaki atu kiate kimoutolu ʻa e feituʻu kotoa pē ʻe tuʻu ai homou vaʻé, ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ia naʻá ku talaʻofa kia Mōsesé.+
4 Ko homou feituʻú ʻe lele ia mei he toafá ʻo aʻu ki Lepanoni pea ki he vaitafe lahí, ʻa ʻIufaletesi—ʻa e fonua kotoa ʻo e kau Hetí+—pea ki he Tahi Lahí* ʻi he hihifó.*+
5 ʻE ʻikai ha taha ʻe lava ke ne talitekeʻi koe lolotonga hoʻo moʻuí.+ Hangē tofu pē ko ʻeku ʻia Mōsesé, ʻe pehē pē ʻa ʻeku ʻiate koé.+ ʻE ʻikai te u liʻaki koe pe siʻaki koe.+
6 Ke ke loto-toʻa peá ke tuʻu mālohi,+ he ko koe ʻa e tokotaha te ke ʻai ʻa e kakaí ni ke nau maʻu ʻa e fonua naʻá ku fuakava ki heʻenau fanga kuí te u foaki kiate kinautolú.+
7 “Kehe pē ke ke loto-toʻa peá ke mātuʻaki tuʻu mālohi pea tokanga ke tauhi ʻa e Lao kotoa naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Mōsese ko ʻeku sevānití kiate koé. ʻOua naʻá ke afe mei ai ki he toʻomataʻú pe ki he toʻohemá,+ koeʻuhí ka ke fai fakapotopoto ai ʻi ha feituʻu pē te ke ʻalu ki ai.+
8 Ko e tohi ko eni ʻo e Laó ʻe ʻikai mavahe ia mei ho ngutú,+ pea kuo pau ke ke lau leʻo-siʻi ia* ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, koeʻuhí ke ke tokanga ke tauhi ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku hiki ʻi aí;+ he ʻe toki lavameʻa ai ho halá pea te ke toki fai fakapotopoto ai.+
9 ʻIkai kuó u tuʻutuʻuni kiate koe? Ke ke loto-toʻa peá ke tuʻu mālohi. ʻOua naʻá ke manavahē pe ilifia, he ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtuá ʻe ʻiate koe ʻi ha feituʻu pē te ke ʻalu ki ai.”+
10 Naʻe tuʻutuʻuni leva ʻa Siosiua ki he kau ʻōfisa ʻo e kakaí:
11 “Laka atu ʻi he ʻapitangá pea fai ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni ko ení ki he kakaí, ‘Teu haʻamou meʻakai, koeʻuhí ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu mei heni te mou kolosi ai ʻi Sioatani ke mou hū ʻo maʻu ʻa e fonua ʻoku foaki atu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá ke mou maʻú.’”+
12 Pea ki he haʻa Lūpení, ko e haʻa Katá, pea mo e vaeua ʻo e matakali ʻo Manasé, naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua:
13 “Manatuʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Mōsese ko e sevāniti ʻa Sihová kiate kimoutolú:+ ‘Ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá ʻokú ne ʻoatu kiate kimoutolu ha mālōlō pea kuó ne foaki atu ʻa e fonuá ni kiate kimoutolu.
14 Ko homou ngaahi uaifí, ko hoʻomou fānaú, pea mo hoʻomou fanga manú te nau nofo ʻi he fonua kuo foaki atu ʻe Mōsese kiate kimoutolu ʻi he tafaʻaki ko eni* ʻo Sioataní,+ ka ko e kotoa ʻo kimoutolu kau tangata toʻa ʻi he taú+ te mou kolosi atu kuo mou teuteu ki he tau ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻi homou fanga tokouá.+ Kuo pau ke mou tokoni kiate kinautolu
15 kae ʻoua kuo ʻoange ʻe Sihova ha mālōlō ki homou fanga tokouá, ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ʻene fai kiate kimoutolú, pea nau maʻu foki ʻa e fonua ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá kiate kinautolú. Hili iá, te mou foki ki he fonua naʻe foaki atu ke mou nofo ai mo maʻú, ʻa e fonua naʻe foaki atu ʻe Mōsese ko e sevāniti ʻa Sihová kiate kimoutolu ʻi he tafaʻaki fakahahake ʻo Sioataní.’”+
16 Naʻa nau tali ange kia Siosiua: “Te mau fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē kuó ke tuʻutuʻuní, pea te mau ʻalu ki ha feituʻu pē te ke fekau kimautolu ki ai.+
17 Hangē pē ko ʻemau fanongo ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Mōsesé, ʻe pehē ʻemau fanongo kiate koé. Hiliō ai, ʻofa ke ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtuá ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ʻene ʻia Mōsesé.+
18 ʻIlonga ha tangata ʻe angatuʻu ki hoʻo fekaú pea ʻikai talangofua ki he tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē te ke ʻoange kiate iá ʻe tāmateʻi.+ Kehe pē ke ke loto-toʻa peá ke tuʻu mālohi.”+
