22 Neʼe kua matuʼa ʼosi ia Eli, neʼe logo ki te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae neʼe fai e ʼona foha+ ki Iselaele katoa, mo tanā momoe mo te ʼu fafine ʼae neʼe gaue ʼi te huʼaga ʼo te fale la ʼo te fono.+ 23 Pea neʼe ina ui kia naua: “He koʼe koa ʼe kolua fai te ʼu aga ʼaia? Koteʼuhi ʼe kovi te ʼu meʼa ʼae ʼe au logo ʼe fakamatala e te hahaʼi fuli ʼo ʼuhiga mo koulua. 24 Kolua tuku takolua fai te ʼu meʼa ʼaia, siʼoku ʼu foha, he ʼe mole lelei te ʼu fakamatala ʼae ʼe au logo ʼe feʼaveʼaki e te hahaʼi ʼa Sehova. 25 Kapau ʼe agahala he tagata ki he tahi tagata, ʼe feala pe ki he tahi ke faikole kia Sehova maʼa ia.* Kae kapau ʼe agahala he tagata kia Sehova,+ ko ai ʼae ʼe feala ke faikole maʼa ia?” Kae neʼe mole nā fia fakalogo ki tanā tamai, he neʼe kua fakatotonu e Sehova ke ina matehi naua.+

8 ʼI te kua ʼosi matuʼa leva ʼo Samuele, neʼe ina fakanofo ʼona foha ko ni tuʼi fakamau ʼo Iselaele. 2 Neʼe higoa tona ʼuluaki foha ko Soele, pea ko te lua ko Apisa.+ Neʼe nā faifakamau ʼi Pele-sepa. 3 Kae neʼe mole haʼele ʼona foha ʼi ʼona ala. Neʼe nā faiga ke nā maʼu falā pea neʼe nā agakaka.+ Neʼe nā toe tali te ʼu meʼa ʼofa ʼae neʼe foaki fakakaka age,+ pea neʼe mole faitotonu ʼanā fakamau.+

14 ʼI te temi pe ʼaia, neʼe ui e Tavite ki ʼana hahaʼi faifekau fuli ʼae neʼe fakatahi mo ia ʼi Selusalemi: “Tou feholaki,+ he ʼe mole tuku anai e Apesalone ke maʼuli he tahi ia tatou! Kotou fakavilivili, naʼa ina ʼohofi fakafokifa tatou, mo matehi tatou ʼaki te heleta pea mo maumauʼi te kolo!”+
