Siosiua

8 Naʻe folofola leva ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua: “ʻOua ʻe ilifia pe manavahē.+ ʻAve ʻa e kau tangata taú kotoa pea mou ʻalu hake ki ʻAi. Vakai, kuó u tuku atu kiate koe ʻa e tuʻi ʻo ʻAí, ko hono kakaí, ko hono koló, pea mo hono fonuá.+ 2 Fai ki ʻAi mo hono tuʻí ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ia naʻá ke fai ki Sielikō pea mo hono tuʻí,+ ka te mou faʻao maʻamoutolu ʻa hono koloa veté mo ʻene fanga manú. Fakatoka ha malumu mei mui ʻi he koló.”

3 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Siosiua mo e kau tangata taú kotoa ki ʻAi. Naʻe fili ʻe Siosiua ʻa e toko 30,000 ʻo e kau tangata toʻa ʻi he taú peá ne fekauʻi poʻuli atu kinautolu. 4 Naʻá ne fai ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni ko ení kiate kinautolu: “Vakai, te mou toi ʻo malumu mei mui ʻi he koló. ʻOua naʻa mou ʻalu ʻo fuʻu mamaʻo mei he koló, pea ko kimoutolu kotoa ke mou mateuteu. 5 Ko au mo e kakai kotoa ʻoku ʻiate aú te mau fakaofiofi atu ki he koló, pea ʻi he taimi te nau hū mai ai ki tuʻa kiate kimautolu ʻo hangē pē ko ia naʻe hoko ki muʻá,+ te mau holomui leva meiate kinautolu. 6 ʻI heʻenau hū mai ki tuʻa ke tuli kimautolú, te mau tohoakiʻi kinautolu ke nau mamaʻo mei he koló, he te nau pehē, ‘ʻOku nau holomui meiate kitautolu ʻo hangē pē ko ia naʻe hoko ki muʻá.’+ Pea te mau holomui meiate kinautolu. 7 Te mou mālanga hake leva mei he malumú ʻo hamu ʻa e koló; ʻe tuku atu ia ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá kiate kimoutolu. 8 ʻI hoʻomou puke pē ʻa e koló, te mou tutu ia.+ Te mou fai ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihová. Vakai, ko e tuʻutuʻuni ia kuó u ʻoatu kiate kimoutolú.”

9 Naʻe fekauʻi atu leva ʻe Siosiua kinautolu, pea naʻa nau laka atu ki he feituʻu ʻo e malumú; naʻa nau nofo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Pēteli mo ʻAí, ki he tafaʻaki fakahihifo ʻo ʻAí, lolotonga ia naʻe nofo ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pō ko iá mo e kakaí.

10 ʻI he hili ʻa e mālanga pongipongia hake ʻa Siosiua ʻo ne fakatahatahaʻi ʻa e kau taú, ko ia mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsilelí naʻa nau taki atu kinautolu ki ʻAi. 11 Ko e kau tangata tau kotoa+ naʻe ʻiate iá naʻa nau laka atu ʻo nau ʻalu ki he matanikoló. Naʻa nau ʻapitanga ʻi he fakatokelau ʻo ʻAí, ʻo ʻi honau vahaʻa mo ʻAí ʻa e teleʻá. 12 ʻI he taimi tatau, naʻá ne ʻave ʻa e kau tangata ʻe toko 5,000 nai ʻo ne ʻai kinautolu ke nau malumu+ mei he vahaʻa ʻo Pēteli+ mo ʻAí, ʻi he fakahihifo ʻo e koló. 13 Ko ia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he kakaí ʻa e konga tefito ʻo e kau taú ki he fakatokelau ʻo e koló+ pea ko e kau tau malumú ʻi he fakahihifo ʻo e koló,+ pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pō ko iá ki he loto teleʻá.*

14 Pea ʻi he sio pē ʻa e tuʻi ʻo ʻAí ki he meʻá ni, naʻá ne fakavave pongipongia atu mo e kau tangata ʻo e koló ki tuʻa ke fakafetaulaki atu ke tau mo ʻIsileli ʻi ha feituʻu naʻe hanga atu ki he toafa tokaleleí. Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo naʻe ʻi ai ha malumu naʻe fakatoka atu kiate ia mei mui ʻi he koló. 15 ʻI hono ʻohofi ʻe he kau tangata ʻo ʻAí, naʻe hola ʻa Siosiua mo ʻIsileli kātoa ʻi he halá ʻo huʻu ki he toafá.+ 16 Pea ko e kakai tangata kotoa naʻe ʻi he koló naʻe uki mai kinautolu ke tuli atu kiate kinautolu; pea ʻi heʻenau tuli atu kia Siosiuá naʻe tohoakiʻi ai kinautolu ʻo mamaʻo mei he koló. 17 Naʻe ʻikai toe ha tangata ʻi ʻAi mo Pēteli ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai tuli atu ki ʻIsileli. Naʻa nau tuku ʻatāloa atu pē ʻa e koló pea nau tuli atu ki ʻIsileli.

18 Naʻe folofola ange leva ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua: “Mafao atu ʻa e tao ʻoku ʻi ho nimá ki ʻAi,+ he te u tuku atu ia ki ho nimá.”+ Ko ia naʻe mafao atu ʻe Siosiua ʻa e tao naʻe ʻi hono nimá ki he koló. 19 ʻI he mōmeniti pē naʻá ne mafao atu ai hono nimá, naʻe mālanga fakavave hake ʻa e kau malumú mei he feituʻu naʻa nau ʻi aí ʻo nau lele ki he koló pea nau hamu ia. Naʻa nau tutu+ leva ʻa e koló ʻi he taimi pē ko iá.

20 ʻI he tafoki hake ʻa e kau tangata ʻo ʻAí, naʻa nau sio atu ki he kohu ʻa e koló ʻo ʻalu hake ki he langí, pea naʻe ʻikai hanau ivi ke hola ki ha toe tafaʻaki. Naʻe hanga hake leva ʻa e kakai naʻe hola ki he toafá ki he faʻahinga naʻa nau tuli kinautolú. 21 ʻI he sio ʻa Siosiua mo ʻIsileli kātoa kuo hanga ʻe he kau malumú ʻo hamu ʻa e koló pea sio ki he kohu hake ʻa e koló, naʻa nau tafoki hake ʻo ʻohofi ʻa e kau tangata ʻo ʻAí. 22 Pea naʻe hū mai ki tuʻa ʻa e niʻihi ko ē mei he koló ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinautolu, ko ia ko e kau tangata ʻo ʻAí naʻa nau fihia ʻi loto, ʻo ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ha niʻihi ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí pea ko e niʻihi ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, pea naʻa nau taaʻi kinautolu kae ʻoua kuo ʻikai ha foʻi toko taha ne hao pe hola.+ 23 Ka naʻa nau puke moʻui ʻa e tuʻi ʻo ʻAí+ pea ʻomi ia ki he ʻao ʻo Siosiuá.

24 ʻI he hili hono tāmateʻi ʻe ʻIsileli ʻa e kakai kotoa ʻo ʻAí ʻi he toafa ʻa ia naʻa nau tuli atu ai kiate kinautolú, pea kuo tō ʻa e tokotaha taki taha ʻo kinautolu ʻi he heletaá, naʻe foki kotoa leva ʻa ʻIsileli ki ʻAi ʻo nau taaʻi ia ʻaki ʻa e heletaá. 25 Ko e faʻahinga kotoa naʻe tō ʻi he ʻaho ko iá, mei he tangata ki he fefine, naʻe feʻunga mo e toko 12,000, ko e kakai kotoa ia ʻo ʻAí. 26 Naʻe ʻikai ke fakafoki mai ʻe Siosiua hono nima naʻe mafao atu mo e taó+ kae ʻoua kuó ne tuku atu ʻa e kakai kotoa ʻo ʻAí ki he fakaʻauha.+ 27 Kae kehe, naʻe toʻo ʻe ʻIsileli ʻa e fanga manu mo e koloa vete ʻo e kolo ko iá maʻanautolu, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sihova kia Siosiuá.+

28 Naʻe tutu leva ʻe Siosiua ʻa ʻAi ʻo ne ʻai ia ke hoko ko ha fokotuʻunga maumau+ tuʻuloa, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ní. 29 Naʻá ne tautau ʻa e tuʻi ʻo ʻAí ʻi ha ʻakau* ʻo aʻu ki he efiafí, pea ʻi he tāitō ʻa e laʻaá, naʻe ʻoatu ai ʻe Siosiua ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni ke ʻohifo hono ʻangaʻangá mei he ʻakaú.+ Naʻa nau lī leva ia ki he hūʻanga ʻo e matapā ʻo e koló pea fokotuʻu ha fuʻu fokotuʻunga maka ʻiate ia, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻahó ni.

30 ʻI he taimi ko iá naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻe Siosiua ha ʻōlita ʻi Moʻunga ʻĪpale+ kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí, 31 ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e tuʻutuʻuni ʻa Mōsese ko e sevāniti ʻa Sihová ki he kau ʻIsilelí pea hangē ko ia kuo hiki ʻi he tohi ʻo e Lao+ ʻa Mōsesé: “Ko ha ʻōlita ʻo e ngaahi fuʻu maka kuo ʻikai tā ʻa ia kuo ʻikai ngāueʻaki ki ai ha meʻangāue ukamea.”+ Naʻa nau ʻohake leva ʻi ai ha ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova pea pehē ki ha ngaahi feilaulau feʻinasiʻaki.+

32 Naʻá ne hiki leva ai ʻi he funga maká ha tatau ʻo e Lao+ naʻe hiki ʻe Mōsese ʻi he ʻao ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí.+ 33 Ko ʻIsileli kātoa, ko ʻenau kau mātuʻá, ko e kau ʻōfisá, mo ʻenau kau fakamāú naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi he ongo tafaʻaki fakatouʻosi ʻo e ʻAʻaké ʻi muʻa ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki Līvai naʻa nau fua ʻa e ʻaʻake ʻo e fuakava ʻa Sihová. Naʻe ʻi ai foki ʻa e mulí pea pehē ki he tupuʻi fonuá.+ Ko e vaeua ʻo kinautolu naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi muʻa ʻi Moʻunga Kelisimi, pea ko e vaeua ko eé ʻi muʻa ʻi Moʻunga ʻĪpale+ (ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e tuʻutuʻuni+ ki muʻa ʻa Mōsese ko e sevāniti ʻa Sihová), ke tāpuakiʻi ʻa e kakai ʻo ʻIsilelí. 34 ʻI he hili ʻa e meʻá ni naʻá ne lau leʻo-lahi ʻa e ngaahi lea kotoa ʻo e Laó,+ ʻa e ngaahi tāpuakí+ mo e ngaahi malá,+ ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa kuo hiki ʻi he tohi Laó. 35 Naʻe ʻikai ha foʻi lea ʻi he ngaahi lea kotoa naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Mōsesé naʻe taʻelau leʻo-lahi ʻe Siosiua ʻi muʻa ʻi he fakatahaʻanga kotoa ʻo ʻIsilelí,+ ʻo kau ai ʻa e kakai fefine mo e fānau pea mo e muli+ ʻa ia naʻe nofo* ʻi honau lotolotongá.+
