¶ 1 BEA kuo hoko a Tevita mo hono kau tagata ki Sikilaki i hono tolu oe aho, bea behe, nae tau‘i e he kakai Amaleki ae botu toga, mo Sikilaki, bea kuo ta‘i a Sikilaki, bea tutu aki ae afi.

2 Bea kuo nau ma‘u fakabobula ae kau fefine nae i ai: nae ikai te nau tamate‘i ha toko taha, ae lahi be koe jii, ka naa nau fetuku akinautolu o ave, bea alu i ho nau hala.

¶ 3 Bea nae hoko a Tevita mo hono kau tagata ki he kolo, bea, vakai, kuo tutu ia aki ae afi, bea kuo ave fakabobula ho nau gaahi unoho, mo e nau gaahi fānau.

4 Bea ko Tevita moe kakai nae iate ia naa nau hiki ho nau le‘o o tagi, bea naa nau tagi ai be o nau vaivai.

5 Bea kuo ma‘u fakabobula ae ogo unoho o Tevita, a Ahinoami koe fefine Jesilili, mo Abikale nae unoho mo Nabale koe tagata Kameli.

6 Bea nae mamahi lahi a Tevita; he nae alea ae kakai ke tologaki ia aki ae maka, koeuhi kuo mamahi lahi aubito ae loto oe kakai kotoabe, o taki taha ae tagata ki hono gaahi foha, bea ki hono gaahi ofefine: ka nae fakafiemalie‘i ia e Tevita ia Jihova ko hono Otua.

7 Bea nae behe e Tevita kia Abiata koe taulaeiki, koe foha o Ahimeleki, Oku ou kole kiate koe, omi ki heni ae efoti. Bea omi ki ai e Abiata ae efoti kia Tevita.

8 Bea nae fehui e Tevita kia Jihova, o behe, Teu tuli ki he kau tau? teu ma‘u akinautolu? Bea nae tala behe eia kiate ia, Tuli: koe mooni te ke ma‘u akinautolu, bea koe mooni te ke toe ma‘u  kotoabe.

9 Koia nae alu ai a Tevita, aia moe kau tagata e toko onogeau nae iate ia, o nau hoko ki he vaitafe ko Bisoa, aia nae nofo ki ai akinautolu nae tuku kimui.

10 Bea nae tuli akinautolu e Tevita, aia moe kau tagata e toko fageau: he nae nofo kimui ae toko uageau, aia naa nau vaivai lahi o ikai te nau faa lava ki he kauvai e taha i Bisoa.

¶ 11 Bea naa nau ilo ae tagata Ijibite i he goue, o nau omi ia aki Tevita, bea ne atu kiate ia ae ma, bea ne aki; bea nau fakainu ia i he vai.

12 Bea naa nau tuku kiate ia ae koga fiki nae natu; moe fuhi kalebi momoa e ua: bea hili ene kai, nae toe ha‘u hono laumalie kiate ia: he nae ikai kai eia ha ma, be inu ha vai, i he aho e tolu moe bo e tolu.

13 Bea nae behe e Tevita kiate oi, Oku ke kau koe mo hai? bea aku ha‘u meife koe? Bea behe eia, Koe tagata talavou au mei Ijibite, koe tamaioeiki ae tagata Amaleki; bea nae liaki au e he eku eiki i he aho e tolu kuo hili, koe mea i he tuia a hoku mahaki.

14 Naa mau hoko atu o tau‘i ae botu toga o Keliti, bea ki he botu oku ia Juta, bea ki he botu toga o Kelebi; bea mau tutu a Sikilaki aki ae afi.

15 Bea nae behe e Tevita kiate ia, Oku ke faa ave au ki he kakai koia? Bea behe eia, Fuakava kiate au i he Otua, e ikai te ke tamate‘i au, be tukuage au ki he nima o hoku eiki, bea teu ave koe ki he kakai ni.

¶ 16 Bea i he ene omi ia ki ai, vakai, kuo nau nofo mafola atu mamao i he fuga kelekele kotoabe, oku nau kai mo inu, mo mee, koe mea i he gaahi vete lahi kuo nau ma‘u mei he fonua oe kakai Filisitia, bea mei he fonua o Juta.

17 Bea nae teia akinautolu e Tevita mei he hegihegi o a‘u atu ki he efiafi oe aho naa na feholo‘i: bea nae ikai hao ha tagata e toko taha o kinautolu, ka koe kau talavou e toko fageau nae heka i he faga kameli nae hola.

18 Bea nae toe ma‘u kotoabe e Tevita aia nae fetuku o ave e he kakai Amaleki: bea nae toe fakahaofi e Tevita hono ogo unoho.

19 Bea nae ikai ha mea kuo mole iate kinautolu, i he mea jii, be i he mea lahi, be i he gaahi foha, be i he gaahi ofefine, be i he koloa vete, be ha mea e taha naa nau too kiate kinautolu: nae ma‘u kotoabe e Tevita.

20 Bea nae ave e Tevita ae gaahi faga manu jii moe faga manu lahi, aia naa nau teke‘i muomua i he gaahi faga manu lalahi niihi, o ne behe, Ko eni ae vete a Tevita.

¶ 21 Bea nae ha‘u a Tevita ki he kau tagata e toko uageau aia koe mea i he e nau vaivai nae ikai te nau faa muimui ia Tevita, akinautolu naa nau bule ke nofo i he vaitafe ko Bisoa: bea naa nau alu atu ke fakafetaulaki kia Tevita, bea ke nau fakafetaulaki ki he kakai nae iate ia: bea i he hoko a Tevita o ofi ki he kakai, nae feiloaki ofa ia mo kinautolu.

22 Bea nae lea ai ae kau tagata kovi kotoabe moe kakai aga fakamaveuveu, io akinautolu nae alu mo Tevita, o behe, Koe mea i he ikai jii te nau alu mo kimautolu, e ikai ai te mau atu kiate kinautolu ha mea jii i he vete ni kuo mau toe ma‘u ni, kae atu taki taha ki he tagata hono unoho, mo ene fānau, koeuhi ke ne tataki ia o ave, bea alu ai.

23 Bea nae behe e Tevita, E hoku kaiga, e ikai te mou fai behe, i he gaahi mea kuo foaki e Jihova kiate kitautolu, aia kuo ne fakamoui akitautolu, bea fakahaofi akitautolu mei he kakai nae ha‘u ke tau‘i akitautolu i ho tau fonua.

24 He kohai ia e tokaga kiate kimoutolu i he mea ni? kae hage koe inaji o ia oku alu hifo ki he tau, e behe be ae inaji o ia oku tatali o leohi ae gaotoota: te nau inaji tatau be.

25 Bea talu ae aho koia o fai kimui, naa ne fokotuu ia koe fono moe tuutuuni maa Isileli o a‘u ki he aho ni.

¶ 26 Bea i he hoko a Tevita ki Sikilaki, nae fekau eia ke atu ae koloa vete ki he kau mātua o Juta, io ki hono gaahi kaiga, o behe, Vakai, koe meaofa maa moutolu i he vete mei he gaahi fili o Jihova;
