Siosiua.
8.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē, pea ʻoua naʻa ke ilifia: ʻave ʻae kautau kotoa pē, pea tuʻu hake, ʻo ʻalu hake ki ʻAi: vakai, kuo u tuku ki ho nima ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAi, mo hono kakai, mo ʻene kolo, mo hono fonua: 
Pea ke fai ki ʻAi mo hono tuʻi ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa ke fai ki Seliko mo hono tuʻi; ka ko e vete ʻo ia, mo e fanga manu ʻi ai te mou maʻu maʻamoutolu: ke toka ʻae malumu ki he potu tuʻa ʻoe kolo.” 
¶ Pea naʻe tuʻu ai ʻa Siosiua, mo e kautau kotoa pē, kenau ʻalu hake ki ʻAi: pea naʻe fili ʻe Siosiua ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolu mano, ko e kau mālohi mo toʻa, ʻo ne fekau kenau ʻalu ʻi he poʻuli. 
Pea naʻa ne fekau kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, te mou toka malumu ʻo hanga ki he kolo, ʻio, ʻi he tuʻa kolo ki mui: ʻoua naʻa mou ʻalu mamaʻo fau mei he kolo, ka mou talitali teu pe kotoa pē: 
Pea ko au, mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate au, te mau ʻunuʻunu ʻo ofi ki he kolo: pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau haʻu kituʻa kiate kimautolu, ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki fai, te mau hola mei honau ʻao, 
(He tenau haʻu ko homau tuli,) kaeʻoua ke mau tautoho mai ʻakinautolu mei he kolo: he tenau pehē, ʻOku nau hola ʻi hotau ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e fuofua fai ko ia te mau hola ai ʻi honau ʻao. 
Pea mou toki tuʻu hake ʻae malumu, pea maʻu ʻae kolo: he ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua te ne tukuange ia ki homou nima. 
Pea ʻe pehē, ʻi hoʻomou lavaʻi ʻae kolo, te mou tutu leva ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae afi; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ʻe pehē hoʻomou fai. Vakai, kuo u fekau kiate kimoutolu.” 
¶ Ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua kenau ʻalu atu: pea naʻa nau ʻalu ke toka ʻae malumu, pea naʻa nau nofo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Peteli mo ʻAi, ʻi he potu lulunga ki ʻAi: ka naʻe mohe ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pō ko ia mo e kakai. 
Pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pongipongi, ʻo ne lau ʻae kakai, pea ne ʻalu hake, ʻaia mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ki ʻAi. 
Pea ko e kakai kotoa pē, ʻae kautau naʻe ʻiate ia, naʻe ʻalu hake, pea ʻunuʻunu, ʻo hoko ki he ʻao ʻoe kolo, ʻonau nofo ʻi he potu tokelau ʻo ʻAi: ka naʻe ai ʻae fuʻu luo ʻi honau vahaʻa mo ʻAi. 
Pea naʻa ne fili ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima afe nai, ʻo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ke toka malumu, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Peteli mo ʻAi, ʻi he potu lulunga ʻoe kolo. 
Pea hili ʻenau fakanofo ʻae kakai, ʻio ʻae tau kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he potu fakatokelau ʻoe kolo, mo e malumu ʻoku fakamohe ʻi lulunga ʻoe kolo, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pō ko ia ki he loto luo. 
¶ Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAi, naʻa nau fakatoʻotoʻo pea tuʻu hengihengi hake, pea ko e kau tangata ʻoe kolo ne ʻalu kituʻa ke tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia mo hono kakai kotoa pē ʻi he feituʻu naʻe tuʻutuʻuni, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe toafa; pea naʻe ʻikai mahalo ʻe ia ʻoku ai ha malumu kuo tokoto ʻi he tuʻa kolo. 
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Siosiua mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻo hangē kuo teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ʻao, pea naʻa nau hola ʻi he hala ʻoe toafa. 
Pea naʻe ui ke fakataha ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ʻAi kenau tuli kiate kinautolu: pea naʻa nau tuli ʻa Siosiua, pea kuo tohoakiʻi ai ʻakinautolu mei he kolo. 
Pea naʻe ʻikai toe ha tangata ʻi ʻAi pe ʻi Peteli naʻe ʻikai ʻalu kituʻa ke tuli ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻa nau tuku liʻaki pē ʻae kolo ʻonau tuli ki ʻIsileli. 
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “Mafao atu ʻae tao ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻo hanga ki ʻAi; he te u tuku ia ki ho nima.” Pea naʻe mafao atu ʻe Siosiua ʻae tao naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻo hanga atu ki he kolo. 
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake leva ʻae malumu mei honau potu, pea ʻi heʻene mafao atu hono nima, naʻa nau lele leva: pea naʻa nau hū ki he kolo, ʻo maʻu ia, pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo leva ʻo tutu ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae afi. 
Pea ʻi he sio kimui ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻAi, pea nau mamata, pea vakai, ko e ʻohuafi ʻo ʻenau kolo ʻoku ʻalu hake ki langi, naʻe ʻikai hanau mafai ke hola ʻi he hala ni, pe ʻi he hala na: pea ko e kakai naʻe hola ange ki he toafa, naʻa nau tafoki mai ki honau kau tuli. 
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Siosiua mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē kuo maʻu ʻae kolo ʻe he malumu, pea kuo ʻalu hake ʻae ʻohuafi ʻoe kolo, naʻa nau tafoki leva, ʻo teʻia ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻAi. 
Pea naʻe ʻoho mai ʻae kautau ʻe taha mei he kolo kiate kinautolu; ko ia naʻa nau moʻua ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ʻIsileli mei mui pea ʻi honau ʻao: pea naʻa nau teʻia ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻe hao. 
Pea naʻa nau puke moʻui ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAi, pea ʻomi ia kia Siosiua. 
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe ʻIsileli hono teʻia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻAi ʻi he ngoue, pea mo e toafa ʻaia naʻa nau tuli ʻakinautolu ki ai, pea ʻi he ʻosi ʻenau hinga ki he mata ʻoe heletā, pea nau ʻauha, naʻe toki haʻu ʻae kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki ʻAi, pea tā ʻaki ia ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, 
Pea naʻe pehē, ko kinautolu naʻe tō ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻae tangata mo e fefine, ko e tokotaha mano, mo e toko ua afe, ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻAi. 
He naʻe ʻikai toe toʻo mai ʻe Siosiua hono nima, ʻaia naʻa ne mafao ai ʻae tao, kaeʻoua ke ʻosiʻosingamālie hono fakaʻauha ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻAi. 
Ka ko e fanga manu mo e vete ʻoe kolo ko ia, naʻe toʻo ia ʻe ʻIsileli ko e koloa kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne fekau kia Siosiua. 
Pea naʻe tutu ʻe Siosiua ʻa ʻAi, ʻo ne ngaohi ko e ʻesi ʻo taʻengata, ʻio, ko e potu liʻaki ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni. 
Pea naʻe tautau ʻe ia ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAi ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi: pea ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻae laʻā, naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua kenau tuku hifo hono ʻangaʻanga mei he ʻakau, ʻo lī ia ki he tefitoʻi matapā ʻoe kolo, pea naʻe fokotuʻu ki ai ʻae fuʻu ʻesi maka, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni. 
¶ Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Siosiua ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he moʻunga ko Ipale, 
‌ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono ʻa Mōsese, “ko e feilaulauʻanga, ʻoe ngaahi maka kātoa, ʻaia kuo ʻikai hiki ʻe ha tangata ha ukamea ki ai:” pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei. 
¶ Pea naʻe tohi ʻe ia ʻi ai ki he ngaahi maka hono hiki ʻoe fono ʻa Mōsese, ʻaia naʻa ne tohi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli. 
Pea ko ʻIsileli kotoa pē, mo ʻenau kau mātuʻa, mo e kau matāpule, mo e kau fakamaau, naʻa nau tutuʻu fakataha mo e muli, mo ia naʻe tupu ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he potu toʻomataʻu ʻoe puha, mo e potu toʻohema, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ko e kau Livai, ʻaia naʻe haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova; ko honau vaeuaʻanga ʻe taha naʻe hanga ki he moʻunga ko Kelisimi, mo honau vaeuaʻanga ʻe taha naʻe hanga ki he moʻunga ko Ipale; ʻo hangē ko e tomuʻa fekau ʻa Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau tāpuakiʻi ʻae kakai ʻo ʻIsileli. 
Pea hili ia naʻa ne lau ke ʻosi ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono, ko e ngaahi tāpuaki, mo e ngaahi fakamalaʻia, ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono. 
Pea naʻe ʻikai ha foʻi lea ʻe liaki ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai lau ʻe Siosiua ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e kau fefine mo e ngaahi fānau siʻi, pea mo e kau muli naʻe nofo fiemālie mo kinautolu.
