SIOSEFA MO ʻASENATI
ʻOku kumi ʻa ʻAsenata ʻi he malí ʻe he foha ʻo e tuʻí mo ha niʻihi

1. ʻI he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo e mahú, ʻi he māhina hono uá, ʻi hono nima ʻo

taʻú, ʻi hono hongofulu mā valu ʻo e māhiná, naʻe aʻu mai ʻa Siosefa
ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo Heliopolisí, pea naʻá ne tānaki ʻa e koane
ʻo e fonuá ʻo hangē ko e ʻoneʻone ʻo e tahí. Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e tangata
ʻe taha ʻi he kolo ko iá ko hono hingoá ko Pentephres, ʻa ia ko ha

pea naʻe mafola atu ʻa e ongoongo ʻo hono fakaʻofoʻofá ki he fonua

fekeʻikeʻi lahi koeʻuhi ko ia, pea naʻa nau faʻu ke fetauʻaki ʻiate
kinautolu. Pea naʻe fanongo foki ʻa e foha ʻuluaki ʻo Feló ʻo kau kiate
ia, pea naʻá ne kole ki heʻene tamaí ke ʻoange ia ki hono uaifí mo
pehē kiate ia: Foaki mai kiate au, ʻa e tamai, ko ʻAsenati, ko e
ʻofefine ʻo Penitifasi, ko e ʻuluaki tangata ʻo Heliopolisí ke uaifi. Pea
naʻe pehē ange ʻe heʻene tamai ko Feló kiate ia: ʻKo ia ʻokú ke kumi
ai ki ha uaifi ʻoku māʻulalo ange ʻiate koe, ʻi he taimi ʻokú ke hoko

ki ho uaifi."
ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻa e taua ʻoku nofo ai ʻa ʻAsesení.
2. Ka naʻe taʻeʻaonga mo manukiʻi ʻe ʻAseneti ʻa e tangata kotoa pē,

ʻaupito ʻa e ʻuluaki lokí ʻo fakatoka ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi maka lanu vāleti,
pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻa hono ngaahi holisí naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi fuʻu maka

,ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi ai hano fika, koula mo e siliva, pea naʻe lotu ki

Pea ko e loki ʻe fitu naʻe toé ko e kau tāupoʻou ʻe toko fitu ʻa ia naʻe

mo e kula ʻahoʻaho pea mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale. Naʻe mohe toko
taha pē ʻa ʻAsenata ʻi he mohenga ko ʻení, pea naʻe teʻeki ai ke ʻi ai
ha tangata pe fefine ʻe nofo ai. Pea naʻe ʻi ai foki mo ha fuʻu lotoʻā

ʻi he lotoʻā kuo tānaki ʻaki ʻa e ukameá, pea naʻe tauhi ʻa e faʻahingá
ni taki taha ʻe ha kau talavou mālohi ʻe toko hongofulu mā valu kuo

ʻOku fakaha ʻe Siosefa ʻene haʻu ki Pentephres.
3. Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo e mahu ʻo e taʻu mahu
ʻe fitú, ʻi he mahina hono faa, ko hono uofulu ma valu ʻo e mahina,
naʻe aʻu mai ai ʻa Siosefa ki he kauʻafonua ʻo Heliopolisi ʻo tanaki

Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa ʻAsenati kuo haʻu ʻene tamaí mo ʻene faʻeé mei

ʻOku fokotuʻu ʻe Pentephres ke foaki ʻa ʻAsenata kia Siosefa ʻi

4. Pea naʻá ne maumauʻi ia peá ne ʻalu hifo ʻi he sitepu mei hono fatá

"Vakai! ʻOku haʻu ʻa Siosefa, ko e tokotaha māfimafi ʻo e ʻOtuá,
kiate kitautolu he ʻahó ni, pea ko e tangatá ni ʻoku pule ʻi he fonua
