9 “Tuʻu hake, ʻalu ki Salepita, ʻa ia ʻoku kau ki Saitoní, pea nofo ai. Vakai! Te u fekauʻi ha uitou ʻi ai ke ne tokonaki atu ha meʻakai kiate koe.”+ 10 Ko ia naʻá ne tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu ki Salepita. ʻI heʻene aʻu ki he hūʻanga ʻo e koló, naʻe ʻi ai ha uitou ʻoku fai ʻene tufi fefie. Ko ia naʻá ne ui atu kiate ia ʻo pehē: “ʻOmai muʻa maʻaku ha meʻi vai ʻi ha ipu ke u inu.”+

20 Naʻá ne ui kia Sihova: “ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua,+ ʻokú ke toe ʻomi koā ha kovi ki he uitou ʻa ia ʻoku ou nofo aí ʻaki hono tāmateʻi ʻa ʻene tamá?” 21 Pea naʻá ne fāʻofua tuʻo tolu ʻi he kiʻi tamá peá ne ui kia Sihova: “ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, tuku muʻa ke foki mai ʻa e moʻui ʻa e kiʻi tamá ni kiate ia.” 22 Naʻe fanongo ʻa Sihova ki he kole ʻa ʻIlaisiaá,+ pea naʻe foki mai ʻa e moʻui ʻa e kiʻi tamá kiate ia, pea naʻá ne toe ake.+ 23 Naʻe fua ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻa e kiʻi tamá ʻo ne ʻohifo ia mei he loki ʻi ʻolungá peá ne ʻoange ia ki heʻene faʻeé; pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā: “Vakai, kuo moʻui ʻa hoʻo tamá.”+

8 ʻI he ʻaho ʻe taha naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa ʻIlaisa ki Sūnemi,+ ʻa ia naʻe ʻi he feituʻú ni ha fefine naʻe fakaʻapaʻapaʻi, pea naʻe vilitaki ange ʻa e fefiné ke ne maʻu meʻatokoni ʻi ai.+ ʻI heʻene faʻa fou atu aí, naʻá ne faʻa afe ai ʻo kai.

13 Pea naʻá ne pehē ange kia Kēhesi: “Tala ange muʻa kiate ia, ‘Ko eni kuó ke helaʻia ʻi hono fai ʻa e fuʻu meʻá ni kotoa maʻamaua.+ Ko e hā ʻe lava ke fai maʻaú?+ Te u lea maʻau ki he tuʻí+ pe ki he ʻeikitaú?’” Ka ko ʻene talí eni: “ʻOku ou nofo pē au ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoku kakaí tonu.” 14 Ko ia naʻe pehē ange ʻe ʻIlaisa: “Pea ko e hā ʻe lava ke fai maʻaná?” Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Kēhesi: “Ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai haʻane tama,+ pea kuo motuʻa ʻa hono husepānití.” 15 Naʻá ne pehē ange ʻi he taimi pē ko iá: “Ui mai ia.” Ko ia naʻá ne ui mai ia, pea naʻá ne tuʻu ʻi he hūʻangá. 16 Naʻá ne pehē ange leva: “ʻI he taimi ko ení ʻi he taʻu kahaʻú, te ke maʻu ai ha tama.”+ Ka naʻá ne pehē ange: “ʻIkai, ʻe hoku ʻeiki, tangata ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní! ʻOua te ke loi ki hoʻo sevānití.”

17 Kae kehe, naʻe feitama ʻa e fefiné peá ne fāʻeleʻi ha tamasiʻi ʻi he taimi tatau pē ʻi he taʻu hono hokó, ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e meʻa naʻe tala ange ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate iá.
