ʻIsaia 10:4-11

⁴‌ʻI he taʻemaʻu au te nau hoko ko e pōpula ki he pōpula, pea moʻulaloa kiate kinautolu kuo fakamoʻulaloa. Pea neongo ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai taʻofi hono houhau, ka ʻoku kei mafao hono nima.

⁵ʻE malaʻia ʻae tangata ʻo ʻAsilia, ko e meʻa tā ʻo ʻeku tuputāmaki, pea ko e tokotoko ʻi honau nima ko hoku houhau ia.

⁶Te u fekau ia ki he puleʻanga mālualoi, pea ki he kakai ʻoku ou houhau ki ai te u tuku kiate ia ha fekau, ke ʻave ʻae koloa, pea ʻave mo e meʻakai, pea ke molomoloki ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e pelepela ʻoe ngaahi hala.

⁷Ka ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai ko hono loto ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke mahalo pehē ʻa hono loto; ka ʻoku ʻi hono loto ke tuʻusi mo fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga lahi.

⁸He ʻoku ne pehē, “ʻIkai ko e ngaahi tuʻi moʻoni ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoku ʻiate au?

⁹‌ʻIkai ʻoku tatau ʻa Kalino mo Kalikimisi? ʻIkai ʻoku tatau ʻa Hamate mo ʻApati? ʻIkai ʻoku tatau ʻa Samēlia mo Tamasikusi?

¹⁰‌ʻO hangē ko e ʻilo ʻa hoku nima ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoe kau tamapua, ʻaia naʻe lahi hake ki Selūsalema mo Samēlia ʻenau ngaahi tamapua;

¹¹‌ʻO hangē ko ia kuo u fai ki Samēlia mo ʻene ngaahi tamapua, ʻikai te u fai pehē foki ki Selūsalema mo ʻene ngaahi tamapua?”
