Lua Hau

3 Neʼe hau leva ia Solame,+ te foha ʼo Akapo, ki Iselaele ʼi Samalia, ʼi te 18 taʼu ʼo te pule ʼa Sosafate, te Hau ʼo Suta. Pea neʼe pule lolotoga taʼu ʼe 12. 2 Neʼe ina haga fai pe te meʼa ʼae ʼe kovi kia mata ʼo Sehova, kae neʼe mole hage leva ko tana tamai peʼe ko tana faʼe, he neʼe ina maumauʼi te pou maka taputapu ʼo Paale ʼae neʼe faʼu e tana tamai.+ 3 Kae neʼe ina fai te ʼu agahala ʼae neʼe uga e Selopoamo, te foha ʼo Nepate, ke fai e Iselaele.+ Neʼe mole maliu kehe mai ai.

4 Neʼe maʼu e Mesa, te hau ʼo Moape ni faga ovi. Pea neʼe ko tana agamahani ko te totogi ki te hau ʼo Iselaele he ʼu akeno ʼe 100 000 pea mo he ʼu ovi tagata neʼe mole tele ʼe 100 000 ohage ko he tukuhau. 5 ʼI te ʼosi mate pe ʼo Akapo,+ neʼe agatuʼu leva te hau ʼo Moape ki te hau ʼo Iselaele.+ 6 Koia, neʼe mavae ai te Hau ko Solame ʼi te ʼaho ʼaia mai Samalia pea neʼe ina fakamaʼopoʼopo ia Iselaele katoa. 7 Neʼe ina toe fakaha foki kia Sosafate, te Hau ʼo Suta: “Kua agatuʼu mai kia au te hau ʼo Moape. ʼE ke haʼu anai koa mo au ʼo tauʼi ia Moape?” Neʼe ina tali age: “ ʼEi, ʼe au alu anai mo koe.+ ʼE au hage pe ko koe. ʼE hage pe taku hahaʼi ko tau hahaʼi pea ʼe hage pe ʼaku hosi ko ʼau hosi.”+ 8 Pea neʼe ina fehuʼi age: “Ko te ala fea ʼae ʼe tonu ke tou olo ai?” Neʼe ina tali age: “ ʼI te ala ʼo te toafa ʼo Etome.”

9 Neʼe olo ai leva te hau ʼo Iselaele, mo te hau ʼo Suta pea mo te hau ʼo Etome.+ Kae hili ʼaho ʼe fitu ki tanatou haʼele, neʼe mole kei ʼi ai he moʼi vai maʼa te kau solia pea mo te ʼu manu ʼae neʼe natou ʼave. 10 Pea neʼe ui e te hau ʼo Iselaele: “ ʼI malaʼia foki! Neʼe fakatahiʼi e Sehova ia tatou, te ʼu hau ʼaeni ʼe toko tolu, kae neʼe ina tuku leva tatou ki te ʼu nima ʼo te kau Moape!” 11 Pea neʼe ui e Sosafate: “ ʼE mole ʼi ai koa la he polofeta ʼa Sehova ʼi heni ke tou fakafehuʼi ai ia Sehova ʼaki ia ia?”+ Neʼe tali e he tahi ʼo te hahaʼi faifekau ʼa te hau ʼo Iselaele: “ ʼEi, ko Eliseo,+ te foha ʼo Sapate, ʼae neʼe ina huaʼi tuʼumaʼu te vai ki te ʼu nima ʼo Elia.”*+ 12 Neʼe ui leva e Sosafate: “ ʼE feala ke ina fakaha mai te meʼa ʼae ʼe loto ki ai ia Sehova.” Neʼe olo leva ki ai te hau ʼo Iselaele, mo Sosafate pea mo te hau ʼo Etome.

13 Neʼe ui e Eliseo ki te hau ʼo Iselaele: “He koʼe ʼe ke haʼu kia au?+ Alu ki te ʼu polofeta ʼo tau tamai pea mo te ʼu polofeta ʼo tau faʼe.”+ Kae neʼe ui age e te hau ʼo Iselaele: “Kailoa ia, he ʼe ko Sehova ʼae neʼe ina fakatahiʼi matou, te ʼu hau ʼaeni ʼe toko tolu, ke ina tuku matou ki te ʼu nima ʼo te kau Moape.” 14 Neʼe tali e Eliseo ki ai: “ ʼE au tala moʼoni atu ia muʼa ʼo Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau ʼae ʼe au tauhi ki ai,* ka na neʼe mole au fakaʼapaʼapa la kia Sosafate+ te Hau ʼo Suta, ʼe mole au tokagaʼi anai koe.+ 15 ʼI te lakaga nei, kotou ʼaumai he tagata ta alepa.”*+ Pea ʼi te temi pe ʼae neʼe ta ai e te tagata tana alepa, neʼe hifo te laumalie* ʼo Sehova kia Eliseo.+ 16 Pea neʼe ina ui leva: “Koʼeni te folafola ʼa Sehova: ‘Kotou keli he ʼu tafega vai ʼi te vai tafe* ʼaeni, 17 koteʼuhi koʼeni te folafola ʼa Sehova: “ ʼE mole kotou sisio anai ki he matagi, pea ʼe mole kotou sisio anai ki he ʼua, kae ʼe fonu anai te vai tafe* ʼaeni ko te vai.+ Pea ʼe kotou inu anai ki ai, ia koutou, mo ʼakotou faga manu pea mo ʼakotou ʼihi atu manu.” ’ 18 ʼE mole faigataʼa te meʼa ʼaia kia mata ʼo Sehova,+ he ʼe ina toe tuku atu anai mo te kau Moape ki ʼokotou nima.+ 19 Pea ʼe tonu anai ke kotou maumauʼi te ʼu kolo tau fuli+ mo te ʼu kolo maʼuhiga fuli, mo kotou taʼaga te ʼu fuʼu ʼakau lelei fuli, mo pupunu te ʼu matapuna vai fuli, pea mo laku ni maka ki te ʼu moʼi kele lelei fuli ke mole feala hona gaueʼi.”+

20 Pea ʼi te uhu ake, ʼi te temi ʼae ʼe momoli ai te molaga meʼa kai ʼo te uhu,+ neʼe tafe fakafokifa mai te vai mai Etome pea neʼe lofia ai te fenua.

21 Neʼe logo leva te kau Moape fuli ki te ʼomai ʼa te ʼu hau ʼo tauʼi natou. Koia neʼe natou fakatahiʼi ai te ʼu tagata fuli ʼae neʼe feala ke natou fakaʼaogaʼi he ʼu mahafu,* pea neʼe natou nonofo leva ʼi te tuʼakoi ʼo tonatou fenua. 22 ʼI tanatou ʼaʼala ake kei uhuuhu, neʼe gigila te laʼa ʼi te vai, pea neʼe manatu ia te kau Moape ʼae neʼe nonofo ʼi te tahi faʼahi, neʼe kula te vai ohage ko te toto. 23 Neʼe natou ui: “ ʼE ko te toto! ʼE mahino ia neʼe kua fematematehiʼaki pe te ʼu hau ia natou ʼaki te heleta. Koia, hahaʼi ʼo Moape, tou olo ʼo toʼo maʼa tatou te ʼu koloa!”+ 24 ʼI tanatou hu ki te nofoʼaga ʼo te kau solia Iselaele, neʼe tutuʼu ake te kau Iselaele ʼo natou kamata matematehi te kau Moape, ʼae neʼe feholaki ʼi ʼonatou muʼa.+ Neʼe kaku leva te kau Iselaele ki Moape, ʼo natou matehi te kau Moape ʼi tanatou olo ʼaia. 25 Neʼe natou maumauʼi te ʼu kolo, pea neʼe tahi li e te ʼu tagata tana foʼi maka ki te ʼu moʼi kele lelei fuli, ʼo fonu maka ai. Neʼe natou pupunu te ʼu matapuna vai fuli+ mo taʼaga te ʼu fuʼu ʼakau lelei fuli.+ Pea neʼe kei tuʼu pe te ʼu kaupa maka ʼo te kolo ko Kile-aleseti.+ Neʼe olo leva te kau solia mo ʼanatou makamaka ʼo ʼa takai pea mo maumauʼi te kolo.

26 Neʼe mahino ai leva ki te hau ʼo Moape ʼe mole malo anai ʼi te tau. Koia, neʼe ina ʼave ai he ʼu tagata toʼo heleta ʼe toko 700 ke feala hana alu ki te hau ʼo Etome.+ Kae neʼe mole feala. 27 Koia, neʼe ina toʼo ai tona foha lahi ʼae neʼe tonu ke hau ʼo fetogi ia ia, ʼo ina momoli ohage ko he holokoseta*+ ʼi te kaupa. Pea neʼe lahi ʼosi te iita ki Iselaele, ʼo natou mavae mai ai mo toe liliu ki tonatou fenua.
