18¶ Ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Lupeni, mo e kakai Kata, mo hono vahe ua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻa Manase, ʻae kau tangata toʻa, ko e kau tangata naʻe faʻa toʻo ʻae pā pea mo e heletā, pea faʻa fanaʻaki ʻae kaufana, mo poto ʻi he tau, ko honau tokolahi ko e toko fā mano, mo e fā afe ma fitungeau ma onongofulu, naʻe ʻalu atu ki he tau.
18The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 warriors—valiant men who carried the shield and sword, drew the bow, and were trained for battle.

20And because they cried out to God in battle, they were helped against their enemies, and the Hagrites and all their allies were delivered into their hands. Because they put their trust in God, He answered their prayers.
21Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻa ʻenau fanga manu; ko e fanga kāmeli ʻe nima mano, mo e fanga sipi ʻe ua kilu mo e nima mano, mo e fanga ʻasi ʻe ua afe, pea mo e kakai tangata ʻe tokotaha kilu,
21They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took 100,000 captives,
22He naʻe tō ʻo mate ʻae fuʻu tokolahi, he naʻe mei he ʻOtua ʻae tau. Pea naʻa nau nofo ʻi honau ngaahi potu ʻonautolu ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ʻoe fakapōpula.
22and many others fell slain, because the battle belonged to God. And they occupied the land until the exile.
23¶ Pea naʻe nofo ʻi he fonua ʻae fānau ʻoe vahe ua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase: naʻa nau tupu ʻo tokolahi mei Pesani ʻo aʻu atu ki Peali-Heamoni, mo Sinili, ʻo aʻu ki he moʻunga ko Heamoni.
23Now the people of the half-tribe of Manasseh were numerous. They settled in the land from Bashan to Baal-hermon (that is, Senir, also known as Mount Hermon).
24Pea ko kinautolu eni ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻio, ʻa Hefeli, mo Isi, mo Ilieli, mo ʻAsilieli, mo Selemaia, mo Hotevia, mo Satieli, ko e kau tangata toʻa lahi, ko e kau tangata ongoongo lahi, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
24These were the heads of their families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads of their families.
25¶ Pea naʻa nau fai angahala ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea naʻa nau ʻalu kehe ke muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai ʻoe fonua, ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi muʻa ʻiate kinautolu.
25But they were unfaithful to the God of their fathers, and they prostituted themselves with the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
26Pea naʻe ueʻi hake ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae loto ʻo Puli ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, mo e loto ʻo Tekilati-Pilesa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea naʻa ne ʻave pōpula ʻakinautolu, ʻio, ʻae kakai Lupeni, mo e kakai Kata, mo e vahe ua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki Hela, mo Hapoa, mo Hala, pea ki he vaitafe ko Kosani, ʻo aʻu mai ki he kuonga ni.
26So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria (that is, Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria) to take the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile. And he brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this day.
