1 Ko e hiva fakafetaʻi ʻa ʻAna. 12 Ko e angahala ʻae fānau ʻa Ilai. 18 Ko e ngāue ʻa Samuela. 20 ʻOku monūʻia ʻa ʻAna ʻi he tāpuaki ʻa Ilai. 22 ʻOku valoki ʻe Ilai hono ongo foha. 27 Ko e fakaʻilo ʻae kovi ʻe tō ki he fale ʻo Ilai.
1 Pea naʻe lotu ʻa ʻAna, ʻo pehē,
“ʻOku fiefia hoku loto ʻia Sihova,
ʻoku fakahikihiki hoku mālohi ʻia Sihova;
kuo mafaʻa hoku ngutu ki hoku ngaahi fili;
ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku fiefia ʻi hoʻo fakamoʻui.
2 ‌ʻOku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko Sihova:
he ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha mo koe: pea ʻoku ʻikai foki ha makatuʻu ʻo hangē ko hotau ʻOtua.
3 ‌ʻOua naʻa toe talanoa fakafiefielahi faufau pehē;
ʻoua naʻa hā mai ʻae lea mālohi mei ho ngutu:
he ko e ʻOtua ʻoe loto ʻa Sihova,
pea ʻoku ʻekeʻi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi faianga.
4 Kuo fesiʻi ʻae ngaahi kaufana ʻae kau tangata mālohi,
pea ko kinautolu naʻe tūkia kuo nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae mālohi.
5 Ko kinautolu naʻe mākona kuo nau fakamoʻua ʻakinautolu ke ngāue ki he meʻakai;
pea kuo ngata ʻakinautolu naʻe fiekaia:
pea kuo fanauʻi ʻae toko fitu ʻe he paʻa;
pea ko ia kuo tokolahi ʻene fānau kuo hoko ʻo vaivai.
6 ‌ʻOku tāmateʻi ʻe Sihova, pea ne fakamoʻui:
ʻoku ne ʻohifo ki he faʻitoka, pea ʻoku ne toe ʻo hake.
7 ‌ʻOku fakamasiva ʻe Sihova, pea ne fakamaʻumeʻaʻi:
ʻoku ne fakamoʻulaloa, mo ne hiki ki ʻolunga.
8 ‌ʻOku ne hiki hake ʻae masiva mei he efu,
ʻo fakahikihiki ʻae faʻa kole mei he tuʻunga veve,
ke fakanofo ʻakinautolu mo e houʻeiki,
pea ke ne ngaohi ʻakinautolu kenau maʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki:
he ko e ngaahi pou ʻo māmani ʻoku ʻo Sihova,
pea kuo ne fokotuʻu ʻa māmani ki ai.
9 ‌ʻE tauhi ʻe ia ʻae vaʻe ʻo ʻene kau māʻoniʻoni,
pea ʻe longo pe ʻae kau angakovi ʻi he poʻuli;
koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai lavaʻi ha meʻa ʻe ha tangata ʻi he mālohi.
10 ‌ʻE fesifesiʻi ʻae ngaahi fili ʻo Sihova;
ʻe mana ʻe ia kiate kinautolu mei langi:
“ʻE fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani;
pea ʻe foaki ʻe ia ʻae mālohi ki heʻene tuʻi,
pea ne fakahikihiki ʻae mālohi ʻo ia kuo ne pani.”
11 ¶ Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻElikena ki hono fale ki Lama. Pea naʻe tauhi ʻa Sihova ʻe he tamasiʻi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Ilai ko e taulaʻeiki.
12 ¶ Ka ko eni ko e fānau ʻoe angakovi ʻae ongo foha ʻo Ilai; naʻe ʻikai te na ʻilo ʻa Sihova. 13 Pea ko e anga naʻe fai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ki he kakai, naʻe pehē, ʻi he ʻatu ʻe ha tangata ha feilaulau, naʻe haʻu ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae taulaʻeiki ʻi he kei haka ʻae kakano, mo e meʻa huhu matatolu ʻi hono nima; 14 Pea naʻa ne velo ia ki he fakapaku, pe ko e kulo, pe ha meʻa haka luoluo, pea ʻilonga ʻaia naʻe matoʻo hake ʻe he huhu naʻe ʻave ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki maʻana. Pea naʻe pehē ʻenau fai ʻi Sailo ki he kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu ki ai. 15 Pea ʻi he teʻeki ai tutu foki ʻae ngako, naʻe haʻu ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae taulaʻeiki, ʻo ne pehē ki he tangata ʻoku fai ʻae feilaulau, “Tuku mai ʻae kakano ke tunu maʻae taulaʻeiki; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ne kai kakano haka ʻiate koe, ka ko e kanomate.” 16 Pea kapau naʻe pehēange ʻe ha tangata kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa nau taʻofi kae tutu leva ʻae ngako, pea ke toki ʻave ʻa ia, kotoa pē ʻoku ke loto ki ai; naʻe tali pehē leva ʻe ia ia, ‘ʻIkai;’ ka ke tuku mai leva ia kiate au: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, te u ʻave fakamālohi ia.” 17 Ko ia naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae angahala ʻae ongo talavou ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: he naʻe fehiʻa ʻae kakai ki he feilaulau kia Sihova.
18 ¶ Ka naʻe tauhi ʻe Samuela ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ko e tamasiʻi kuo nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae ʻefoti ʻoe tupenu lelei. 19 Pea naʻe ngaohi foki ʻe heʻene faʻē ʻae kofutuʻa siʻi, ʻo ʻomi kiate ia ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē, ʻi heʻene ʻalu hake mo hono husepāniti ke ʻatu ʻae feilaulau ʻoe taʻu.
20 ¶ Pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Ilai ʻa ʻElikena mo hono uaifi, ʻo ne pehē, “Ke ʻatu ʻe Sihova kiate koe ʻae hako ʻi he fefine ni ʻi he kole ni ʻaia kuo tuku kia Sihova.” Pea naʻa na ō ki hona ʻapi. 21 Pea naʻe ʻaʻahi ʻa Sihova kia ʻAna, ko ia naʻa ne feitama, pea ne fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama ʻe toko tolu mo e taʻahine ʻe toko ua. Pea naʻe tupu pē ʻae tamasiʻi ko Samuela ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
22 ¶ Pea kuo motuʻa lahi ʻa Ilai, ʻo ne fanongo ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe hono ongo foha ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē; mo ʻenau mohe mo e kau fefine naʻe fakataha ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai. 23 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua. “Ko e hā ʻoku mo fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē? He ʻoku ou fanongo ki hoʻomou fai angakovi ʻi he kakai ni kotoa pē. 24 ‌ʻOua, ʻe hoku ongo foha; he ʻoku ʻikai ko e ongolelei ʻoku ou ongoʻi: ʻoku mou fakalanga ʻae lāunga ʻi he kakai ʻo Sihova. 25 Kapau ʻoku fai angahala ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ki he tokotaha, ʻe fakamaauʻi ia ʻe he fakamaau: pea kapau ʻoku fai angahala ʻe ha tangata kia Sihova, ko hai te ne fakalaloaʻi ia?” Ka naʻe ʻikai te na tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo ʻena tamai, koeʻuhi naʻe finangalo ʻa Sihova ke tāmateʻi ʻakinaua. 26 Pea naʻe tupu pē ʻae tamasiʻi ko Samuela, pea naʻe ʻofeina ia ʻia Sihova, pea mo e kakai foki.
27 ¶ Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua kia Ilai, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, ʻIkai naʻaku hā atu au ki he fale ʻo hoʻo tamai ʻi heʻenau ʻi ʻIsipite ʻi he fale ʻo Felo? 28 Pea ʻikai naʻaku fili ia mei he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli ke hoko ko hoku taulaʻeiki, ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻi heʻeku feilaulauʻanga, ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala, pea ke kofuʻaki ʻae ʻefoti ʻi hoku ʻao? Pea ʻikai naʻaku foaki ki he fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, ʻae ngaahi feilaulau naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi ʻe he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli? 29 Ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻakahi ai ki heʻeku feilaulau, mo e meʻa ʻatu, ʻaia kuo u fekauʻi ʻi hoku nofoʻanga; mo ke fakaʻapaʻapa lahi hake ki ho ongo foha ʻiate au, ke fakasino kimoutolu ʻaki ʻae lelei lahi ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau ʻa ʻIsileli ko hoku kakai? 30 “Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘Naʻaku pehē moʻoni, ko ho fale mo e fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, ʻe ʻaʻeva ʻi hoku ʻao ʻo taʻengata: ka ko eni, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Ke mamaʻo ia ʻiate au; he ko kinautolu ʻoku fakaʻapaʻapa kiate au, te u fakahikihikiʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ko kinautolu ʻoku manukiʻi au ʻe ʻikai te u tokangaʻi. 31 Vakai, ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, te u motuhi ai ho nima, pea mo e nima ʻoe fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, pea ʻe ʻikai ai ha tangata ʻe motuʻa ʻi ho fale. 32 Pea te ke mamata ki he fakamamahiʻi ʻo hoku nofoʻanga, neongo ʻae lelei kotoa pē kuo foaki ki ʻIsileli: pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe motuʻa ʻi ho fale ʻo taʻengata. 33 Pea ko e tangata ʻoʻou, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai te u motuhi mei hoku feilaulauʻanga, ʻe hoko ia ke fakakui ho mata, mo fakamamahi ki ho loto: pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻe tupu ʻi ho fale tenau mate ʻi heʻenau kei fatu tangata. 34 Pea ko e fakaʻilonga eni kiate koe, ʻaia ʻe hoko ki ho ongo foha, ʻa Hofini mo Finiasi; ʻe mate ʻakinaua ʻi he ʻaho pē taha. 35 Pea te u fokotuʻu moʻoku ʻae taulaʻeiki angatonu, ʻaia te ne fai ʻo fakatatau mo ia ʻoku ʻi hoku loto mo hoku ʻatamai: pea te u langa moʻona ʻae fale ke maʻu; pea ʻe ʻeveʻeva ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ia kuo u pani ʻo taʻengata. 36 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku toe ʻi ho fale, ʻo punou kiate ia ke maʻu ai ʻae konga siliva, mo e konga mā, pea tenau pehē, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku kiate au ha potu ngāue fakataulaʻeiki, ke u kai ai ha konga mā.”
