< Siosiua 17 >
1 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tofiʻa ki he faʻahinga ʻo Manase; he ko e ʻuluaki foha ia ʻo Siosefa; kia Mekili ko e ʻuluaki foha ʻo Manase, ko e tamai ʻa Kiliati: koeʻuhi ko e tangata tau ia, ko ia naʻa ne maʻu ai ʻa Kiliati mo Pesani.
2 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tofiʻa ki hono toe ʻoe fānau ʻa Manase ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga: ki he faʻahinga ʻa Epiesa, pea ki he fānau ʻa ʻEleki, pea ki he fānau ʻa ʻEsileli, pea ki he fānau ʻa Sikemi, pea ki he fānau ʻa Hefeli pea ki he fānau ʻa Simita: ko e ngaahi fānau tangata eni ʻa Manase ko e foha ʻo Siosefa ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga.
3 Ka ko Sailofitati, ko e foha ʻo Hefeli, ko e foha ʻo Kiliati, ko e foha ʻo Mekili, ko e foha ʻo Manase, naʻe ʻikai hano foha, ka ko e ngaahi ʻofefine: pea ko e ngaahi hingoa eni ʻo hono ngaahi ʻofefine, ko Mala, mo Noa, mo Hokila, mo Milika, mo Tilisa.
4 Pea naʻa nau haʻu ʻo ofi ki he ʻao ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, pea ki he ʻao ʻo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, pea ki he ʻao ʻoe houʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese ke foaki kiate kimautolu hamau tofiʻa fakataha mo homau kāinga.” Ko ia naʻa ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae tofiʻa fakataha mo e kāinga ʻo ʻenau tamai ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Sihova.
5 Pea naʻe hoko kia Manase ʻae ngaahi konga ʻe hongofulu, ka ʻoku kehe ʻae fonua ʻo Kiliati mo Pesani, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Soatani;
6 Koeʻuhi naʻe maʻu foki ʻe he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Manase hanau tofiʻa fakataha mo hono ngaahi foha: pea ko hono toe ʻoe foha ʻo Manase naʻa nau maʻu ʻae fonua ko Kiliati.
7 Pea ko e ngataʻanga ʻoe potu ʻo Manase naʻe fai mei ʻAseli ki Mikimeta, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu ki Sikemi; pea ʻalu ai hono ngataʻanga ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hoko ki he kakai ʻo Enitapua.
8 Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Manase ʻae fonua ko Tapua: ka ko Tapua ʻi he veʻe fonua ʻo Manase ʻoku ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi ia;
9 Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo hono ngataʻanga ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe ʻo Kana, ko e potu tonga ʻi he vaitafe: ko e ngaahi kolo ni ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻoku tuʻu fakataha mo e ngaahi kolo ʻo Manase: ko e ngataʻanga foki ʻo Manase naʻe ʻi he potu tokelau ʻoe vaitafe, pea naʻe aʻu atu hono ngataʻanga ki tahi:
10 Naʻe ʻo ʻIfalemi ʻae potu tonga, pea ko e potu tokelau naʻe ʻo Manase ia, pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻoʻona ko e tahi: pea na fakataha ʻi ʻAseli ʻi he potu tokelau, pea ʻi ʻIsaka ʻi he potu hahake.
11 Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Manase ʻi ʻIsaka, pea ʻi ʻAseli ʻa Pete-Seani mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo Ipiliami mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, pea mo e kakai ʻo Toa mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo e kakai ʻo Enitoa mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo e kakai ʻo Tenaki mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo e kakai ʻo Mekito mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, ʻio, ko e fonua ʻe tolu.
12 Ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa kapusi ʻe he fānau ʻa Manase ʻae kakai ʻoe ngaahi kolo ko ia; ka naʻe loto pe ʻae kau Kēnani kenau nonofo ʻi he fonua.
13 Ka naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻaʻau ke mālohi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻa nau fakamoʻulaloa ʻae kau Kēnani kenau tukuhau: ka naʻe ʻikai tenau kapusi ʻakinautolu kituaʻā.
14 Pea naʻe lea ʻae fānau ʻa Siosefa kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo ke foaki ai kiate au ʻae tofiʻa pe taha ke u maʻu, ka ko e kakai tokolahi au, he koeʻuhi kuo tāpuaki au maʻuaipē ʻe Sihova?”
15 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ko e kakai lahi koe, pea ke fei mo ʻalu hake ki he fonua ʻakauʻia, pea ke tā hifo ʻi ai maʻau, ʻi he fonua ʻoe kau Pelesi, pea mo e kakai lalahi, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻapiʻapi ʻae moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi kiate koe.
16 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa Siosefa, ʻOku siʻi ʻae moʻunga kiate kimautolu: pea ʻoku ʻi he kau Kēnani kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi he teleʻa, ʻae ngaahi saliote ʻaione, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kau mo Pete-Seani mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo kinautolu ʻoku kau mo e teleʻa ʻo Sesilili.”
17 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Siosiua ki he fale ʻo Siosefa, ʻio, kia ʻIfalemi mo Manase, ʻo pehē, “Ko e kakai lahi koe, pea ʻoku ke mālohi lahi: ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu ʻae tofiʻa pē taha:
18 Ka ʻe ʻoʻou ʻae moʻunga; he ʻoku ʻakauʻia, pea ke tā hifo ia: pea ko hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻe ʻomoutolu ia: te ke kapusi ʻae kau Kēnani, neongo ʻoku nau maʻu ʻae saliote ʻaione, pea ʻoku nau mālohi.”
