1Pea naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻoe moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, naʻe hingoa ko Maika.
1A IA ma ka mauna o Eperaima he kanaka, o Mika kona inoa.
2Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene faʻē, “Ko e konga siliva ʻe taha afe mo e teau ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe kaihaʻasi ʻiate koe, ʻaia naʻa ke kape ai, mo ke lea ki ai ʻi hoku ʻao foki, vakai, ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae siliva; ko au naʻaku ʻave ia.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene faʻē, “Ko ʻeku tama, ke ke monūʻia koe ʻia Sihova.”
2I aku la ia i kona makuwahine, O kela mau apana kala, hookahi tausani, me ka haneri keu, i laweia, mai ou mai nei, ka mea au i kuamuamu ai, a i olelo mai ai hoi ma ko'u pepeiao, eia no ia'u ua kala la. Na'u no i lawe. I mai la kona makuwahine, E pomaikai ana oe ia Iehova, e kuu keiki.
3Pea ʻi heʻene toe ʻatu ʻae konga siliva ʻe taha afe mo e teau ki heʻene faʻē, naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene faʻē, “Naʻe ʻosi ʻeku fakatapu hono kotoa ʻoe siliva kia Sihova mei hoku nima, pea mei heʻeku tama, ke ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae meʻa fakatātā kuo tā mo e meʻa fakatātā kuo haka: pea ko eni, te u toe tuku ia kiate koe.”
3A hoihoi aku ia i ke tausani apana kala me ka haneri keu i kona makuwahine, alaila, olelo mai la kona makuwahine, Ua hoolaa loa aku au ia kala ia Iehova, mai ko'u lima aku, i mea na ka'u keiki, e hana aku ai i kii, a i kii hooheheeia; nolaila ea, e hoihoi aku au ia ia oe.
4Ka naʻa ne toe ʻatu ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ki heʻene faʻē; pea toʻo ʻe heʻene faʻē ʻo tuku ki he tufunga haka meʻa, ʻae konga siliva ʻe uangeau, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakatātā kuo tā mo e fakatātā kuo haka: pea ne na tuʻu ʻi he fale ʻo Maika.
4Aka, hoihoi hou ae la ia i ke kala i kona makuwahine. Lawe ae la kona makuwahine i elua haneri apana kala, a haawi aku la i ka mea hoohehee kala, nana no i hana i kii, a i kii hoi i hooheheeia. Aia no laua maloko o ka hale o Mika.
5Pea naʻe ʻi he tangata ko Maika ha fale ʻo hono ʻotua, pea naʻa ne ngaohi ha ʻefoti mo e tamapua, pea naʻa ne fakatapui hono foha ʻe tokotaha, ʻaia naʻe hoko ko ʻene taulaʻeiki.
5He hale akua ko ua kanaka la o ko Mika, a hana iho la ia i epoda, a i terapima, a hoolaa ae la ia i kekahi o kana mau keikikane, a lilo ia i kahuna nona.
6Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli, ka naʻe fai ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi hono mata ʻoʻona.
6Ia manawa, aole alii ma ka Iseraela. Hana no kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka mea i pono ma kona mau maka.
7¶ Pea naʻe ai ʻae tangata talavou ʻe taha mei Petelihema Siuta ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Siuta, ko e Livai ia, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi ai.
7He kanaka opiopio, mailoko mai o Betelehemaiuda, no ka ohana a Iuda, he mamo na Levi, a noho no ia malaila.
8Pea naʻe hiki ʻae tangata ko ia mei he kolo ko Petelihema Siuta ke ʻalu ʻo ʻāunofo ʻi ha potu te ne hoko ki ai: pea naʻe hoko atu ia ki he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi ki he fale ʻo Maika, ʻi heʻene fononga.
8Hele aku la ua kanaka la, mai ke kulanakauhale o Betelehemaiuda aku, e noho ma kahi e loaa ai, a i kona hele ana, hiki ae la ia i ka mauna o Eperaima, i ka hale o Mika.
9Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Maika kiate ia, “ʻOku ke haʻu mei fē? Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, Ko e Livai au mei Petelihema Siuta, pea ʻoku ou ʻalu ke nofo ʻi ha potu pe.”
9I mai la o Mika ia ia, Mai hea mai oe i hele mai ai? I aku la ia, He Levi au, no Betelehemaiuda mai, a ke hele nei au e noho ma kahi e loaa'i.
10Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Maika kiate ia, “Ke ta nonofo, mo au, pea ke ʻiate au ko e tamai mo e taulaʻeiki, pea te u ʻatu kiate koe ʻae konga siliva ʻe hongofulu ʻi he taʻu ʻe taha, mo e ngaahi kofu kotoa, pea mo e meʻakai.” Pea naʻe afe ki lotoʻā ʻae tangata Livai.
10I mai la o Mika ia ia, E noho pu oe me au, i lilo oe i makua no'u, a i kahuna hoi, a e haawi aku au ia oe i umi apana kala ma ka makahiki, a i pa lole komo elua, a i ka ai no hoi; nolaila, komo aku la ua Levi nei iloko.
11Pea naʻe fiemālie ai ʻae Livai ke na nonofo mo e tangata; pea naʻe tatau ʻae talavou kiate ia mo hono foha ʻe taha.
11Lealea ia Levi e noho pu me ua kanaka la, a ua like ia kanaka opiopio ia ia, me kekahi o kana mau keikikane.
12Pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe Maika ʻae tangata Livai; pea naʻe hoko ʻae talavou ko hono taulaʻeiki, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he fale ʻo Maika.
12Hoolaa iho la o Mika i ka Levi, a lilo ua kanaka opiopio nei i kahuna nona, a noho iho la ma ka hale o Mika.
13Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Maika, “ʻOku ou ʻilo eni ʻe fai lelei ʻe Sihova kiate au, he kuo u maʻu ha tangata Livai ke taulaʻeiki.”
13Alaila, i ae la o Mika, Ua ike au, e hoopomaikai ana o Iehova ia'u, no ka mea, he Levi no ko'u kahuna.
