1 Maccabees is a deuterocanonical book which details the history of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire as well as the founding and earliest history of the independent Hasmonean kingdom. It describes the promulgation of decrees forbidding traditional Jewish practices by King Antiochus IV Epiphanes and the formation of a rebellion against him by Mattathias of the Hasmonean family and his five sons.

55 Pea ʻi he kamata ke ne fusi hifo, naʻa mo e taimi ko ia naʻe

58 Pea naʻe fai ʻe he kau tangata anga taʻe-faka-ʻOtua kotoa pē

1 ʻI hono teau onongofulu ʻo e taʻú naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa
