< Taniela 6 >
1 Naʻe lelei kia Talaiasi ke fakanofo ʻi he puleʻanga ʻae houʻeiki ʻe toko teau ma toko uofulu, ke māʻolunga ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē;
2 Pea ke māʻolunga ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau pule ʻe toko tolu; pea ko e ʻuluaki ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Taniela; koeʻuhi ke fakahā ʻe he houʻeiki ʻae ngaahi ngāue kiate kinautolu, pea ke ʻoua naʻa hoko ha kovi ki he tuʻi ʻi ha meʻa.
3 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ki muʻa ʻae Taniela ni ʻi he kau pule mo e houʻeiki, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻilo ʻae ʻatamai lelei ʻiate ia, pea naʻe fakakaukau ʻae tuʻi ke fakanofo ia ko e pule ki he puleʻanga kotoa pē.
4 Pea naʻe toki kumi ʻe he kau pule mo e houʻeiki ke nau ʻilo ha meʻa kia Taniela ʻi he puleʻanga; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ha meʻa pe ha kovi; he naʻa ne angatonu, pea naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo ha kovi pe ha fai hala ʻiate ia.
5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ni, “ʻE ʻikai te tau ʻilo ha meʻa ʻi he Taniela ni ka ʻi heʻetau maʻu ha meʻa ʻoku kau kiate ia mo e fono ʻa hono ʻOtua.”
6 Pea naʻe toki fakataha ʻae kau pule mo e houʻeiki ko ia ki he tuʻi, pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻE tuʻi ko Talaiasi, ke ke moʻui ʻo taʻengata.
7 Kuo fealēleaʻaki fakataha ʻae kau pule kotoa pē ʻoe puleʻanga mo e kau pule [ʻoe ngaahi vahe fonua], mo e houʻeiki, mo e kau fakamatala fono, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, ke fokotuʻu ha fono fakapuleʻanga mo fokotuʻu ke maʻu ha tapu, koeʻuhi ko ia kotoa pē ʻe fai ha kole ki ha ʻotua pe ki ha tangata ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolungofulu, ka kiate koe pe, ʻe tuʻi, ke lī ia ki he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione.
8 Pea ko eni, ʻe tuʻi, ke ke fokotuʻu ʻae fono, mo ke ʻai ho hingoa ki he tohi, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakakeheʻi ia, kae fakatatau ia ki he fono ʻoe kakai Mitia mo Peasia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ke feliliuʻaki.”
9 Ko ia naʻe tohi ai ʻe Talaiasi ki he tohi mo e fono.
10 Pea ʻi he ʻilo ʻe Taniela, kuo tohi ʻae fono, naʻa ne hū ki hono fale, pea ko e ngaahi matapā sioʻata ʻi hono fale mohe naʻe ava ki Selūsalema, pea naʻa ne tōmapeʻe ʻo tūʻulutui ʻo liunga tolu ʻi he ʻaho, pea ne lotu mo fakafetaʻi ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene faʻa fai ʻi muʻa.
11 Pea naʻe toki fakataha ʻae kau tangata ni, pea naʻa nau ʻilo ʻa Taniela, ʻoku ne lotu mo fai ʻene hū ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono ʻOtua.
12 Pea naʻa nau ʻunuʻunu atu, ʻo lea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ki he fono ʻae tuʻi. “ʻIkai kuo ke tohi ʻae fono, ke ʻilonga ha tangata ʻe fai ha kole ki ha ʻotua pe ha tangata ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolungofulu, ka kiate koe pe, ʻe tuʻi, ʻe lī ia ki he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione?” Pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo ne pehēange, “ʻOku moʻoni ʻae meʻa, ʻo fakatatau ki he fono ʻae kakai Mitia ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fānau pōpula ʻo Siuta, ʻoku ʻikai te ke liliu.
13 Pea naʻa nau lea ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, “Ko e Taniela na ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fānau pōpula ʻo Siuta, ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokanga kiate koe, pe ki he fono ʻaia kuo ke tohi, ka ʻoku ne fai ʻene lotu ʻo liunga tolu ʻi he ʻaho.”
14 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae tuʻi ki he lea ni, naʻa ne mamahi lahi, pea naʻe tokanga lahi hono loto kia Taniela ke fakahaofi ia, pea naʻa ne feinga ʻo aʻu ki he tō hifo ʻae laʻā ke fakahaofi ia.
15 Pea naʻe toki fakataha ʻae kau tangata ni ki he tuʻi, pea nau pehē ki he tuʻi, “Ke ke ʻilo, ʻe tuʻi, ʻoku pehē ʻae fono ʻae kakai Mitia mo Peasia, ke ʻilonga ha fono pe ha tapu ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻe he tuʻi ʻe ʻikai siʻi liliu ia.”
16 Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻe he tuʻi, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻa Taniela, pea lī ia ki he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione. Ka naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo ne pehē kia Taniela, “Ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ke faʻa tauhi, te ne fakahaofi koe.”
17 Pea naʻe ʻomi ha maka, ʻo ʻai ki he ngutu ʻoe ʻana: pea naʻe pulusi ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻaki hono fakaʻilonga ʻoʻona, pea mo e fakaʻilonga ʻo ʻene houʻeiki; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa liliu ʻae meʻa kia Taniela.
18 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tuʻi ki hono fale, pea ne ʻaukai ʻi he pō ʻo ʻaho, pea naʻe ʻikai ke ʻomi ki hono ʻao ʻae ngaahi meʻa fasi hiva: pea naʻe mahuʻi ʻae mohe meiate ia.
19 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi ʻi he pongipongi ʻo hengihengi ʻaupito, pea ne ʻalu fakavave ki he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione.
20 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he ʻana, naʻa ne kalanga ʻi he leʻo mamahi kia Taniela; pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehē kia Taniela, “ʻE Taniela, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua moʻui, ʻoku mālohi ho ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ke tauhi maʻuaipē, ke fakahaofi koe mei he fanga laione?”
21 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Taniela ki he tuʻi, ʻE tuʻi, ke ke moʻui ʻo taʻengata.
22 Kuo fekau ʻe hoku ʻOtua ʻa ʻene ʻāngelo, pea kuo tāpuni ʻae ngutu ʻoe fanga laione ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakamamahi au: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻilo ʻae lelei ʻiate au ʻi hono ʻao: pea ʻi ho ʻao foki ʻe tuʻi naʻe ʻikai te u fai kovi.”
23 Ko ia naʻe fiefia lahi ʻaupito ʻae tuʻi koeʻuhi ko ia, pea ne fekau ke nau toʻo hake ʻa Taniela mei he ʻana. Ko ia naʻe toʻo hake ʻa Taniela mei he ʻana, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ha lavea siʻi ʻiate ia, koeʻuhi naʻa ne tui ki hono ʻOtua.
24 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ke nau ʻomi ʻae kau tangata ko ia naʻe talatalaakiʻi ʻa Taniela, pea naʻa nau lī ʻakinautolu ki he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione, ʻakinautolu, mo ʻenau fānau, mo honau ngaahi uaifi; pea naʻe mālohi ʻae fanga laione kiate kinautolu, pea fesiʻi fakaikiiki honau ngaahi hui kotoa pē, ʻi he teʻeki te nau hoko hifo ki he takele ʻoe ʻana.
25 Pea naʻe tohi ʻe he tuʻi ko Talaiasi ki he kakai kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga mo e ngaahi lea, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani fulipē; “Ke tupulekina ʻae melino kiate kimoutolu.
26 ʻOku ou fai fono, koeʻuhi ke tetetete mo ilifia ʻae kakai ki he ʻOtua ʻo Taniela, ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻo hoku puleʻanga: “He ko e ʻOtua moʻui ia, pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu, ʻo taʻengata: ko hono puleʻanga ʻe ʻikai ʻauha, pea ko ʻene pule ʻe aʻu atu ki he ngataʻanga.
27 ʻOku ne maluʻi mo fakahaofi, pea ʻoku ne fai ʻae ngaahi mana mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi he langi mo māmani, ko ia ia kuo fakahaofi ʻa Taniela mei he mālohi ʻoe fanga laione.”
28 Pea naʻe monūʻia ʻae Taniela ni ʻi he kei pule ʻa Talaiasi, pea mo e pule ʻa Kolesi ko e Peasia.
