1. ʻOpataia
VAHE 1
1 Ko e mata-meʻa-hā-mai ʻa ʻOpataiá. ʻOku folofola peheni ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtuá ʻo kau ki ʻĪtomí; Kuo mau
fanongo ki ha ongoongo mei he ʻEiki, pea ʻoku fekauʻi mai ha ʻamipasitoa ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau hītení,
Mou tuʻu hake, pea tau tuʻu hake ke tauʻi ia ʻi he tau.
2 Vakai, kuó u ngaohi koe ke ke siʻisiʻi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau hītení: ʻoku fehiʻanekinaʻi lahi koe.
3 Kuo kākaaʻi ʻa kimoutolu ʻe he hīkisia ʻo homou lotó, ʻa kimoutolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi vaʻa ʻo e maká,
ʻa ia ʻoku māʻolunga hono nofoʻanga; ʻa ia ʻoku pehē ʻi hono lotó, Ko hai te ne ʻohifo au ki he kelekelé?
4 Neongo ʻokú ke hiki hake koe ʻo hangē ko e ʻīkalé, pea neongo ʻokú ke fokotuʻu ho punungá ʻi he
lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi fetuʻú, ka te u ʻohifo koe ki lalo, ʻoku folofola ʻe he ʻEikí.
5 Kapau naʻe haʻu ʻa e kau kaihaʻa kiate koe, kapau ʻe kaihaʻa ʻi he poʻuli, (ʻe fefe ʻa e meʻa naʻa ke tuʻusi!)
naʻe ʻikai nai ke nau kaihaʻasi kae ʻoua kuo nau maʻu ha meʻa feʻunga? kapau naʻe haʻu ʻa e kalepi kiate koe,
ʻikai te nau tuku ha kalepi?
6 ʻ Oku anga - fēfē ʻ a e kumi ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻ a ʻ Īsoá! ʻoku kumi fēfē ʻa ʻene ngaahi meʻa fufuú!
7 Kuo ʻomi koe ʻe he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo kautaha ngāué ki he kauʻāfonuá: kuo kākaaʻi koe ʻe he kau
tangata naʻe melino mo koé, mo ikunaʻi koe; ko kinautolu ʻoku kai hoʻo maá kuo lavea ia ʻi ho lalo mā: ʻoku
ʻikai ha ʻilo ʻiate ia.
8 ʻE ʻikai koā te u fakaʻauha ʻi he ʻaho ko iá ʻa e kau tangata potó mei ʻĪtomi, pea ʻilo lahi mei he moʻunga
ʻo ʻĪsoá?
9 Pea ʻe loto-foʻi ʻa hoʻo kau tangata mālohí, ʻa Temani, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻangá koeʻuhí ke motuhi atu ʻa e
tokotaha kotoa pē ʻo e moʻunga ʻo ʻĪsoá ʻi he tāmate.
10 He ʻe ʻufiʻufi koe ʻe hoʻo fetaʻaki ki ho tokoua ko Sekope, pea ʻe tuʻusi koe ʻo taʻengata.
11 ʻI he ʻaho naʻa ke tuʻu ai ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha, ʻi he ʻaho naʻe ʻave popula ai ʻe he kau muli ʻa ʻene kau tau,
pea hu ʻa e kau muli ki hono ngaahi matapaa, ʻo talotalo ki Selusalema, ʻio naʻa ke hange ko e taha ʻo
kinautolu.
12 Ka naʻe ʻikai totonu ke ke vakai ki he ʻaho ʻo ho tokouá ʻi he ʻaho naʻá ne hoko ai ko e muli; pea naʻe ʻikai
foki totonu ke ke fiefia ʻi he fānau ʻa Siutá ʻi he ʻaho ʻo honau fakaʻauhá; pea ʻoku ʻikai totonu foki ke ke lea
laukau ʻi he ʻaho ʻo e faingataʻá.
13 Naʻe ʻikai totonu ke ke hū ki he matapā ʻo hoku kakaí ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻenau tuʻutāmakí; ʻio, naʻe ʻikai totonu
ke ke vakai ki heʻenau faingataʻaʻiá ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻenau tuʻutāmakí, pe hilifaki ha nima ki heʻenau ngaahi
koloá ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻenau tuʻutāmakí;
14 Pea naʻe ʻikai totonu foki ke ke tuʻu ʻi he kolosí, ke tuʻusi ʻa kinautolu ʻa ia naʻe haó; pea naʻe ʻikai foki
totonu ke ke tukuange ʻa kinautolu naʻe nofo ʻi he ʻaho ʻo e faingataʻá.
15 He ʻoku ofi ʻa e ʻaho ʻo e ʻEikí ki he kau hītení kotoa pē: hangē ko ia kuó ke faí, ʻe fai ia kiate koe: ʻe foki
mai hoʻo totongí ki ho ʻulu ʻoʻoú.
16 He ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou konā ʻi hoku moʻunga toputapú, ʻe pehē pē ʻa e inu maʻu ai pē ʻa e kau hītení,
ʻio, te nau inu, pea te nau folo hifo, pea te nau hangē kuo ʻikai te nau ʻi aí.
17 Ka ʻe fakahaofi ʻa kinautolu ʻi he moʻunga ko Saioné, pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻa e māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻe maʻu ʻe he fale
ʻo Sēkopé ʻa ʻenau ngaahi koloá.
18 Pea ʻe hoko ʻa e fale ʻo Sēkopé ko e afi, pea ko e fale ʻo Siosefá ko e afi, pea mo e fale ʻo ʻĪsoá ko e veve,
pea te nau tutu ʻiate kinautolu, mo keina ʻa kinautolu; pea ʻe ʻikai ke toe ʻi ai ha toe ʻo e fale ʻo ʻĪsoá; he kuo
folofola ʻaki ia ʻe he ʻEikí.
19 Pea ʻe maʻu ʻe kinautolu ʻo e feituʻu tongá ʻa e moʻunga ʻo ʻĪsoá; pea te nau maʻu mei he potu tokalelei ʻo
e kau Filisitiá: pea te nau maʻu ʻa e ngaahi ngoue ʻo ʻIfalemí, mo e ngaahi ngoue ʻo Samēliá: pea ʻe maʻu ʻe
Penisimani ʻa Kiliati.
20 Pea ʻe maʻu ʻe he kau tau ko ʻeni ʻo e fānau ʻa ʻIsilelí ʻa e meʻa ʻoku maʻu ʻe he kau Kēnaní, ʻo aʻu ki
Salifati; pea ko e pōpula ʻo Selūsalemá, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi Sēharatí, te nau maʻu ʻa e ngaahi kolo ʻo e tongá.
21 Pea ʻe hāʻele hake ʻa e kau fakamoʻuí ki he moʻunga ko Saioné ke fakamāuʻi ʻa e moʻunga ʻo ʻĪsoá; pea
ʻe ʻa e ʻEikí ʻa e puleʻangá.
