4 ʻI he hili pē ʻa e kolosi ʻa e puleʻangá fakakātoa ʻi Sioataní, naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua: 2 “ʻAve ʻa e kau tangata ʻe toko 12 mei he kakaí, ko e tangata ʻe taha mei he matakali taki taha,+ 3 pea fai kiate kinautolu ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni ko ení: ‘Toʻo ʻa e maka ʻe 12 mei loto Sioatani, mei he feituʻu ʻoku tuʻu maʻu ai ʻa e vaʻe+ ʻo e kau taulaʻeikí, pea mou ʻave ia ʻo fokotuʻu ʻi he feituʻu ʻa ia te mou mohe aí.’”+

4 Ko ia naʻe ui mai ʻe Siosiua ʻa e kau tangata ʻe toko 12 ʻa ia naʻá ne fakanofo mei he kau ʻIsilelí, ko e tangata ʻe toko taha mei he matakali taki taha, 5 pea naʻe pehē ange ʻe Siosiua kiate kinautolu: “ʻAlu atu ʻi muʻa ʻi he ʻAʻake ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá ki loto Sioatani, pea ko e tokotaha taki taha ʻo kimoutolu te ne hiki hake ha maka ʻo ʻai ki hono umá, ʻo fakatatau ki he tokolahi ʻo e ngaahi matakali ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí, 6 ke hoko ia ko ha fakaʻilonga ʻi homou lotolotongá. Kapau ʻe ʻeke atu ʻamui ʻe hoʻomou fānaú* kiate kimoutolu, ‘Ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e ʻi heni ʻa e ngaahi maka+ ko ení?’ 7 Kuo pau ke mou tala kiate kinautolu: ‘Koeʻuhi naʻe tuʻu ʻa e vai ʻo Sioataní ʻo ʻikai aʻu ki he ʻaʻake+ ʻo e fuakava ʻa Sihová. ʻI he taimi naʻe kolosi ai ia ʻi Sioataní, naʻe tuʻu ʻa e vai ʻo Sioataní. Ko e ngaahi maká ni ʻe hoko ia ko ha fakamanatu tuʻuloa ki he kakai ʻo ʻIsilelí.’”+

8 Ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e meʻa naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Siosiuá. Naʻa nau toʻo ʻa e maka ʻe 12 mei loto Sioatani, ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e fakahinohino ʻa Sihova kia Siosiuá, ke fehoanaki mo e tokolahi ʻo e ngaahi matakali ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí. Naʻa nau ʻave ia ki he feituʻu ʻa ia te nau mohe aí pea fokotuʻu ia ai.

9 Naʻe toe fokotuʻu ʻe Siosiua ʻa e maka ʻe 12 ʻi loto Sioatani ʻi he feituʻu naʻe tuʻu+ ai ʻa e vaʻe ʻo e kau taulaʻeiki naʻa nau fua ʻa e ʻaʻake ʻo e fuakavá, pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi maká ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻahó ni.

10 Ko e kau taulaʻeiki naʻa nau fua ʻa e ʻAʻaké naʻa nau tuʻu ai pē ʻi loto Sioatani kae ʻoua kuo kakato ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Sihova kia Siosiua ke ne tala ki he kakaí ke nau faí, ʻo fehoanaki mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Mōsese kia Siosiuá. ʻI he lolotonga iá, naʻe fakavave ʻa e kakaí ki he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá. 11 ʻI he hili pē ʻa e kolosi atu ʻa e kakaí kotoa, naʻe kolosi atu ʻa e kau taulaʻeikí mo e ʻAʻake ʻa Sihová ʻi he ʻao ʻo e kakaí.+ 12 Pea ko e haʻa Lūpení, ko e haʻa Katá, mo e vaeua ʻo e matakali ʻo Manasé naʻa nau kolosi atu kuo nau teuteu ki he tau+ ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻi he kau ʻIsileli kehé, ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e meʻa naʻe fakahinohino ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolú.+ 13 Ko e kau sōtia ʻe toko 40,000 nai kuo nau teu ki he taú naʻa nau kolosi atu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová ki he toafa ʻo Sielikoó.

14 ʻI he ʻaho ko iá naʻe hakeakiʻi ai ʻe Sihova ʻa Siosiua ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsilelí kotoa,+ pea naʻa nau fakaʻapaʻapaʻi lahi* ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa ʻo ʻene moʻuí, ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ʻenau fakaʻapaʻapaʻi lahi ʻa Mōsesé.+

15 Naʻe folofola leva ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua: 16 “Fekau ki he kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku nau fua ʻa e ʻaʻake+ ʻo e Fakamoʻoní* ke nau ʻalu hake mei Sioatani.” 17 Ko ia naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻa Siosiua ki he kau taulaʻeikí: “Mou ʻalu hake mei Sioatani.” 18 ʻI he ʻalu hake ʻa e kau taulaʻeiki naʻa nau fua ʻa e ʻaʻake+ ʻo e fuakava ʻa Sihová mei loto Sioataní pea tuʻu ʻa e ʻaofivaʻe ʻo e kau taulaʻeikí ʻi he kelekele mōmoá, naʻe toe foki ʻa e vai ʻo Sioataní ki honau halangá pea naʻe fonu hake+ ʻo hangē pē ko ia naʻe ʻi ai ki muʻá.

19 Naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa e kakaí mei Sioatani ʻi he ʻaho hono hongofulu ʻo e ʻuluaki māhiná ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi Kilikali+ ʻi he kauʻāfonua fakahahake ʻo Sielikoó.

20 ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e maka ʻe 12 naʻa nau toʻo mei Sioataní, naʻe fokotuʻu eni ʻe Siosiua ʻi Kilikali.+ 21 Naʻá ne pehē ange leva ki he kau ʻIsilelí: “ʻI he kahaʻú ʻi hano ʻeke ʻe hoʻomou fānaú ki heʻenau ngaahi tamaí, ‘Ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e ngaahi maka+ ko ení?’ 22 Kuo pau ke mou fakamatala ki hoʻomou fānaú: ‘Naʻe kolosi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Sioatani ʻi he kelekele mōmoá+ 23 ʻi hono fakamātuʻu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá ʻa e vai ʻo Sioataní ʻi honau ʻaó kae ʻoua kuo nau kolosi aí, ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá ki he Tahi Kulokulá ʻi heʻene fakamātuʻu ia ʻi homau ʻaó kae ʻoua kuo mau kolosi aí.+ 24 Naʻá ne fai ení koeʻuhi ke ʻiloʻi ʻe he ngaahi kakai kotoa ʻo e māmaní ʻa e mālohi ʻo e nima ʻo Sihová+ pea koeʻuhi ke mou manavahē maʻu pē kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá.’”
