1 Ko e fāʻeleʻi ʻo ʻAisake, 4 Mo hono kamu. 6 Ko e fiefia ʻa Sela. 9 Ko e kapusi ʻo Hekaʻā mo ʻIsimeʻeli, 15 Kuo mamahi ʻa Hekaʻā, 17 Ko e ʻāngelo ʻoku ne fakafiemālieʻi ia. 22 Ko e fuakava ʻa ʻApimeleki mo ʻEpalahame ʻi Peasipa.
1 Pea naʻe ʻaʻahi ʻe Sihova kia Sela ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola, pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova kia Sela ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola. 2 He naʻe tuituʻia ʻa Sela ʻo ne fanauʻi kia ʻEpalahame ʻae tama ʻi heʻene motuʻa, ʻio, ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻae ʻOtua. 3 Pea naʻe ui ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae hingoa ʻo hono foha naʻe fānau kiate ia, ʻaia naʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻe Sela kiate ia, ko ʻAisake. 4 Pea naʻe kamu ʻe ʻEpalahame hono foha ko ʻAisake ʻi hono ʻaho valu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia, 5 Pea naʻe teau taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻAisake kiate ia.
6 ¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sela, “Kuo fakakata au ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ʻe kata mo au ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻe fanongo ai.” 7 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hai ia naʻe teitei pehē kia ʻEpalahame, ʻe fakahuhu ʻe Sela ha fānau? He kuo u fāʻeleʻi ha tama kiate ia ʻi heʻene motuʻa.” 8 Pea naʻe tupu ʻae tama, pea māvae ia, pea naʻe fai ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae kātoanga lahi ʻi he ʻaho naʻe māvae ai ʻa ʻAisake.
9 ¶ Pea naʻe mamata ʻa Sela ki he tama ʻa Hekaʻā ko e fefine ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻa ne fanauʻi kia ʻEpalahame, ʻoku manuki. 10 Ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai kia ʻEpalahame, “Kapusi ʻae fefine pōpula ni mo ʻene tama: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai fakataha ʻae tama ʻae fefine pōpula ni, mo ʻeku tama ko ʻAisake.” 11 Pea ko e meʻa fakamamahi lahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻEpalahame, koeʻuhi ko hono foha.
12 ¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame, “ʻOua naʻa ke mamahi koeʻuhi ko e tama, pe koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fefine kaunanga ka ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sela ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo ne lea ai kiate koe koeʻuhi ʻe ui ia ʻAisake pe ʻa ho hako. 13 Pea te u fakatupu ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he tama ʻae fefine kaunanga, koeʻuhi ko ho hako ia.” 14 Pea tuʻu hengihengi hake ai ʻa ʻEpalahame, mo ne ʻomi ʻae mā mo e hina vai, ʻo ne ʻatu kia Hekaʻā, pea ne ai ia ki hono uma pea mo e tama, ʻo ne fekau ia ke ʻalu; pea naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo he fano pe ʻi he toafa ʻo Peasipa. 15 Pea ʻi he ʻosi ʻae vai ʻi he hina, naʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻae tama ʻi he lolo ʻakau ʻe taha. 16 Ka ka ʻalu ia ʻo nofo fakahangatonu mai mei he mamaʻo ʻo tatau nai mo e touʻanga ngahau kuo fana; he naʻe pehē ʻe ia; “ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻaku mamata ki he pekia ʻae tama, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻo hangatonu kiate ia, pea hiki hake ʻe ia hono leʻo ʻo tangi.” 17 Pea ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae leʻo ʻoe tamasiʻi; pea lea mai ʻae ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua kia Hekaʻā mei he langi ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke mamahi ai Hekaʻā? ʻOua te ke manavahē: he kuo ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae leʻo ʻoe tamasiʻi mei he potu na. 18 Tuʻu, pea hiki hake ʻae tamasiʻi pea fafa ia ho nima: he te u ngaohi ia ko e puleʻanga lahi.” 19 Pea naʻe fakaʻā ʻe he ʻOtua hono mata, pea naʻe mamata ia ki he matavai: pea ʻalu ia ʻo fakafonu ʻae hina ʻaki ʻae vai, pea ne fakainu ʻae tamasiʻi. 20 Pea naʻe kau ʻae ʻOtua ki he tamasiʻi pea tupu ia, pea ne nofo ʻi he toafa, pea hoko ia ko e tangata fana. 21 Pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he toafa ʻo Palani: pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe heʻene faʻē, ʻae ʻunoho kiate ia mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
22 ¶ Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he kuonga ko ia, naʻe lea kia ʻEpalahame ʻa ʻApimeleki, mo Fikoli ko e ʻeiki lahi ia ʻo ʻene kautau, ʻo pehē: “ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke fai; 23 Pea ko eni, ke ke fuakava kiate au ʻi he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ke fai kākā kiate au, pe ki hoku foha, pe ki he foha ʻo hoku foha, ka ke fai kiate au, mo e fonua, ʻaia kuo ke nofo ʻāunofo ki ai, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻofa kiate koe.” 24 Pea pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame, “Te u fuakava.” 25 Pea naʻe valoki ʻe ʻEpalahame kia ʻApimeleki, koeʻuhi ko e vai keli naʻe faʻao fakamālohi ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻApimeleki. 26 Pea pehēange ʻe ʻApimeleki, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe ko hai kuo fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tala mai ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te u fanongo ki ai, ka ko e ʻaho ni pe.” 27 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae fanga sipi mo e fanga pulu, ʻo ne foaki ia kia ʻApimeleki; pea naʻe fai ʻekinaua ʻae fuakava; 28 Pea naʻe vaheʻi mo tuku kehe ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae lami fefine ʻe fitu. 29 Pea pehē ʻe ʻApimeleki kia ʻEpalahame; “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe lami fefine ʻe fitu kuo ke vaheʻi mo tuku kehe?” 30 Pea ne pehē, “Ke ke toʻo ia ʻo ʻave mei hoku nima, ʻae lami fefine ʻe fitu ko ia, koeʻuhi ko e fakamoʻoni ia kiate au, naʻaku keli ʻae vai. 31 Ko ia naʻa ne ui ai ʻae potu ko ia ko Peasipa: koeʻuhi naʻa na fefuakava ʻi ai; 32 Naʻe pehē ʻena fai ʻae fuakava ʻi Peasipa: pea tuʻu hake ʻa ʻApimeleki mo Fikoli ko e ʻeiki lahi ʻo ʻene kautau, pea na toe ō ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia.
33 ¶ Pea naʻe tō ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻi Peasipa, pea naʻe ui ai ia ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, ko e ʻOtua taʻengata; 34 Pea naʻe ʻāunofo ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.
