ʻUluaki Sāmiuela 7:1-17
7 Ko ia naʻe omi ʻa e kau tangata ʻo Kiliate-sialimí ʻo ʻohake ʻa e ʻAʻake ʻa Sihová ki he fale ʻo ʻApinatapí+ ʻi he funga moʻungá, pea naʻa nau fakatapui ʻa hono foha ko ʻEliesá ke ne leʻohi ʻa e ʻAʻake ʻa Sihová.
2 Naʻe hili atu ha vahaʻa taimi fuoloa mei he ʻaho naʻe ʻomi ai ʻa e ʻAʻaké ki Kiliate-sialimí, ko e taʻu fakakātoa ʻe 20, pea naʻe kamata ke kumi* ʻa e kotoa ʻo e fale ʻo ʻIsilelí kia Sihova.+
3 Naʻe pehē leva ʻe Sāmiuela ki he kotoa ʻo e fale ʻo ʻIsilelí: “Kapau ʻoku mou foki kia Sihova ʻaki ʻa e kotoa ʻo homou lotó,+ mou toʻo ʻa e ngaahi ʻotua mulí+ mo e ngaahi ʻīmisi ʻAsitelotí+ mei homou lotolotongá, pea fakahanga taʻetoeleʻeia homou lotó kia Sihova ʻo tauhi kiate ia pē,+ pea te ne fakahaofi kimoutolu mei he nima ʻo e kau Filisitiá.”+
4 Ko ia naʻe liʻaki ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí ʻa e ngaahi Pēalí pea mo e ngaahi ʻīmisi ʻAsitelotí pea nau tauhi kia Sihova pē.+
5 Naʻe pehē leva ʻe Sāmiuela: “Fakatahatahaʻi kotoa ʻa ʻIsileli ki Misipā,+ pea te u fai ha lotu kia Sihova maʻamoutolu.”+
6 Ko ia naʻa nau fakatahataha ʻi Misipā, pea naʻa nau ʻutu ha vai ʻo lilingi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová pea fai ha ʻaukai ʻi he ʻaho ko iá.+ Naʻa nau pehē ʻi he feituʻu ko iá: “Kuo mau faiangahala kia Sihova.”+ Pea naʻe kamata ke ngāue ʻa Sāmiuela ko ha fakamaau+ ki he kau ʻIsilelí ʻi Misipā.
7 ʻI he fanongo ʻa e kau Filisitiá kuo fakatahataha ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻi Misipaá, naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo e kau Filisitiá+ ke faitau mo ʻIsileli. ʻI he fanongo ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻo fekauʻaki mo iá, naʻa nau ilifia koeʻuhi ko e kau Filisitiá.
8 Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí kia Sāmiuela: “ʻOua ʻe tuku hoʻo ui kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtuá ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu+ mo fakahaofi kitautolu mei he nima ʻo e kau Filisitiá.”
9 Naʻe toʻo leva ʻe Sāmiuela ha lami kei huhu ʻo ne ʻohake ia ko ha feilaulau tutu kakato+ kia Sihova; pea naʻe ui ʻa Sāmiuela kia Sihova ke tokoni mai ki ʻIsileli, pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ha tali kiate ia.+
10 ʻI hono ʻohake ʻe Sāmiuela ʻa e feilaulau tutú, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa e kau Filisitiá ke nau faitau mo ʻIsileli. Pea naʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ke mana leʻo-lahi+ ʻi he ʻaho ko iá ki he kau Filisitiá, pea naʻá Ne ʻai kinautolu ke nau puputuʻu,+ pea naʻe ikunaʻi kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsilelí.+
11 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa e kau tangata ʻIsilelí mei Misipā ʻo nau tuli atu ki he kau Filisitiá, ʻo taaʻi kinautolu ʻo aʻu ki he fakatonga ʻo Pete-kaá.
12 Naʻe toʻo leva ʻe Sāmiuela ha maka+ ʻo ne fokotuʻu ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Misipā mo Sesaná pea fakahingoa ia ko ʻEpenisa,* he naʻá ne pehē: “Kuo tokoniʻi kitautolu+ ʻe Sihova ʻo aʻu mai ki he taimí ni.”
13 Ko ia naʻe fakavaivaiʻi ai ʻa e kau Filisitiá, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau toe haʻu ki he feituʻu ʻo ʻIsilelí;+ pea naʻe hokohoko atu hono fakafepakiʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e kau Filisitiá ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa ʻo Sāmiuelá.+
14 Pehē foki, ko e ngaahi kolo naʻe ʻave ʻe he kau Filisitiá mei ʻIsilelí naʻe fakafoki ia ki ʻIsileli, mei ʻEkiloni ki Kati, pea naʻe toe maʻu mai ʻe ʻIsileli ʻa honau feituʻú mei he nima ʻo e kau Filisitiá.
Naʻe ʻi ai foki ha melino ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ʻIsileli pea mo e kau ʻĀmolí.+
15 Naʻe fakamaau ai pē ʻa Sāmiuela ʻi ʻIsileli ʻi he kotoa ʻo ʻene moʻuí.+
16 ʻI he taʻu taki taha naʻá ne fefonongaʻaki ai ʻi Pēteli,+ Kilikali,+ mo Misipā,+ pea naʻá ne fakamāuʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu kotoa ko ení.
17 Ka naʻá ne foki pē ki Lama,+ he naʻe ʻi ai hono falé, pea naʻá ne fakamāuʻi foki mei ai ʻa ʻIsileli. Naʻá ne fokotuʻu ai ha ʻōlita kia Sihova.+
