1 Naʻe kamata pule ʻe Setikia ʻi hono uofulu ma taha taʻu ʻo ʻene motuʻa, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Hamutali ko e ʻofefine ʻo Selemaia mei Lipina. 2 Pea naʻa ne fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Sihoiakimi. 3 He ko e meʻa ʻi he houhau ʻo Sihova naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ki Selūsalema mo Siuta, naʻe angatuʻu ai pe ʻa Setikia ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone.
4 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hono hiva taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe haʻu ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea mo ʻene kautau kotoa pē, ki Selūsalema, pea nofo atu ki ai, pea ngaohi kolo ʻo takatakai ki ai. 5 Ko ia naʻe takatakai ʻae kolo ʻo aʻu ki hono hongofulu ma taha taʻu ʻoe pule ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi. 6 Pea ʻi hono fā māhina, ʻi hono ʻaho ʻe hiva ʻoe māhina, naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae honge ʻi he kolo, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ha meʻakai ki he kakai ʻoe fonua. 7 Pea naʻe vaivai ʻae kolo, pea hola ʻae kautau kotoa pē, pea naʻa nau ʻalu mei he kolo ʻi he poʻuli, ʻi he hala ʻoe matapā ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo ʻā, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ngoue ʻae tuʻi; pea nau ʻalu ʻi he hala ki he toafa, (lolotonga naʻe takatakai ʻae kolo ʻe he kau Kalitia.)
8 Ka naʻe tuli ʻae tuʻi ʻe he kau tau ʻoe kau Kalitia, pea nau maʻu ʻa Setikia ʻi he toafa ʻo Seliko; pea naʻe movetevete meiate ia ʻa ʻene kautau kotoa pē. 9 Pea naʻa nau puke ʻae tuʻi, pea ʻohake ia ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Lipila ʻi he fonua ko Hamati; pea ne fakamaauʻi ia ʻi ai. 10 Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Setikia ʻi hono ʻao: pea ne tāmateʻi foki ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻi Lipila. 11 Pea naʻa ne kapeʻi ʻae mata ʻo Setikia; pea naʻe haʻi ʻaki ia ʻae maea ukamea fihifihi, pea tataki ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Papilone, pea naʻe tuku ia ki he fale fakapōpula ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene mate.
12 Pea ʻi hono nima māhina, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, ko hono hongofulu ma hiva taʻu ʻoe pule ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, naʻe haʻu ki Selūsalema ʻa Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, ʻaia naʻa ne tauhi ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, 13 Pea naʻe tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, mo e fale ʻoe tuʻi; mo e fale kotoa pē ʻi Selūsalema, pea mo e ngaahi fale ʻoe kakai ʻeiki kotoa pē, naʻa ne tutu ʻaki ʻae afi: 14 Pea naʻe maumauʻi ki lalo ʻae ʻā kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi Selūsalema, ʻe he kau tau kotoa pē ʻoe kau Kalitia, ko kinautolu naʻe ʻi he ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo. 15 Pea naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, ʻae kakai masiva niʻihi, pea mo hono toe ʻoe kakai naʻe nofo ʻi he kolo, pea mo e kakai naʻe hola ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea mo hono toe ʻoe kakai tokolahi. 16 Ka naʻe tuku ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo ʻae kakai masiva niʻihi ki he fonua ke tauhi ʻae vaine pea ko e kau tauhi ngoue.
17 Pea ko e ngaahi pou palasa ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ko e ngaahi tuʻunga, mo e ngaahi ʻaiʻanga vai palasa ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe maumauʻi ʻe he kau Kalitia, pea ʻave ʻae palasa kotoa pē ki Papilone. 18 Pea ko e ngaahi kulo foki, mo e ngaahi huo, mo e ngaahi helekosi maama, mo e ngaahi ipu, mo e ngaahi sēpuni, pea mo e ngaahi ipu palasa ʻaia naʻa nau ngāue aki, naʻa nau fetuku ia. 19 Pea ko e ngaahi ipu, mo e ʻaiʻanga afi, mo e ngaahi ipu siʻi, mo e ngaahi kulo, mo e ngaahi tuʻunga maama, mo e ngaahi sēpuni, pea mo e ngaahi ipu inu; ʻaia naʻe koula ʻi he koula, pea mo ia naʻe siliva ʻi he siliva, naʻe fetuku ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo.
20 Ko e pou ʻe ua, mo e fuʻu ʻaiʻanga vai lahi ʻe taha, pea mo e pulu palasa ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻaia naʻe ʻi lalo ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone ko e tuʻi ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa fakamamafa ʻae palasa ʻoe ngaahi ipu ni kotoa pē. 21 Pea ko e ngaahi pou, ko hono māʻolunga ʻoe pou ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe tolungofulu ma ono; pea ko e filo naʻe takatakai ʻaki ia ko e hanga ʻe uofulu ma fā; pea ko hono matolu ko e louhiʻi ʻe fā: pea naʻe ava pe ia ʻi loto. 22 Pea naʻe ʻai ha ʻulu palasa ʻi ʻolunga ʻi ai; pea ko hono māʻolunga ʻoe ʻulu ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu, mo e tongi fakasanisani, pea mo e pomikanite ʻoku tākai ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻulu, kuo ngaohi kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae palasa. Pea ko hono ua ʻoe pou naʻe tatau mo ia pea mo hono pomikanite. 23 Pea naʻe ai ʻae pomikanite ʻe hivangofulu ma ono ʻi he potu ʻe taha; pea ko hono lau kātoa ʻoe pomikanite naʻe tākai ʻaki ʻae meʻa naʻe tongi, ko e teau.
24 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo ʻa Selaia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, pea mo Sefania ko hono ua ʻoe taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kau leʻo matapā ʻe toko tolu: 25 Pea naʻe ʻave foki ʻi he kolo ʻae kau tangata talifekau ʻaia naʻe pule ki he kau tangata tau; pea mo e kau tangata ʻe toko fitu, ko kinautolu naʻa nau nonofo mo e tuʻi, naʻe ʻilo ʻakinautolu ʻi he kolo; mo e tangata tohi lahi ʻoe kau tau, ʻaia naʻe ʻaʻana ʻae lau ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua, mo e kau tangata ʻoe fonua ʻe toko onongofulu, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻilo ʻi loto kolo. 26 Ko ia, naʻe ʻave ʻakinautolu ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, pea ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki Lipila ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone. 27 Pea naʻe teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi Lipila ʻi he fonua ko Hamati.
31 Pea ʻi hono tolungofulu ma fitu taʻu ʻoe fakapōpula ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe māhina, mo hono uofulu ma nima ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, Ko ʻIvilimelotaki ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻi hono ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, naʻa ne hakeakiʻi ʻa Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ʻomi ia mei he fale fakapōpula. 32 Pea naʻa ne lea lelei kiate ia, pea naʻe hiki hake hono nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ke māʻolunga he nofoʻanga ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi naʻe ʻi ai mo ia ʻi Papilone. 33 Pea naʻe fetongi hono kofu fakapōpula: pea ne kai mā maʻuaipē ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui. 34 Pea ko ʻene meʻakai, naʻe tufa maʻuaipē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻae kai kiate ia, ko e ʻinasi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene mate.
