22 ʼE au ha anai kia koe ʼi ai pea mo palalau atu mai te fuga tapunu.+ ʼI te vaha ʼo te ʼu kelupimi ʼe lua ʼae ʼi te fuga aleka ʼo te Fakamoʼoni,* ʼe au tala atu anai te ʼu fakatotonu fuli ʼae ʼe tonu ke ke fakaha ki te kau Iselaele.

4 Pea neʼe fekauʼi e te hahaʼi he kau tagata ki Silo, pea neʼe natou ʼaumai te aleka ʼo te fuakava ʼa Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau, ʼae ʼe ʼafio ʼi te ʼu fuga* kelupimi.+ Neʼe toe kau ai foki mo te ʼu foha ʼe lua ʼo Eli, ia Ofeni mo Fineasi,+ ʼi te ʼaumai ʼo te aleka ʼo te fuakava ʼa te ʼAtua moʼoni.

6 Neʼe alu leva ia Tavite mo Iselaele katoa ki Paalea,+ ʼae ko Kiliate-sealimi ʼi Suta, ʼo toʼo mai ai te Aleka ʼo te ʼAtua moʼoni ko Sehova, ʼae ʼe ʼafio ʼi te ʼu fuga* kelupimi.+ ʼE fetapa te hahaʼi ʼi te muʼa Aleka ki tona huafa. 7 Kae neʼe natou hili te Aleka ʼo te ʼAtua moʼoni ki he saliote foʼou,+ pea neʼe natou ʼaumai mai te ʼapi ʼo Apinatape. Neʼe taki e Usea mo Akeso ia te saliote.+ 8 Neʼe fakafiafia ia Tavite mo te hahaʼi fuli ʼo Iselaele ʼaki tonatou malohi katoa ia muʼa ʼo te ʼAtua moʼoni, ʼo natou hiva, mo ta he ʼu alepa, mo he ʼu nafa,+ mo he ʼu simepale,+ mo he tahi age ʼu meʼa faimaholo, pea neʼe natou pupuhi he ʼu fakatagi pupuhi.+ 9 Kae ʼi tanatou kaku atu ki te hahaʼaga fulumeto ʼo Kitone, neʼe faoʼi e Usea tona nima ʼo puke te Aleka, he neʼe meʼa pe ke to ʼuhi ko te ʼu pipi. 10 ʼI te lakaga ʼaia, neʼe to te hauhau ʼo Sehova kia Usea, pea neʼe Ina matehi ia ia he neʼe ina faoʼi tona nima ʼo puke te Aleka,+ ʼo mate ai ia muʼa ʼo te ʼAtua.+ 11 Kae neʼe ita* ia Tavite ʼi te to ʼo te hauhau ʼo Sehova kia Usea. Neʼe fakahigoa te koga meʼa ʼaia ko Pelesi-usea* ʼo kaku mai ki te ʼaho nei.
