13 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē; ʻalu ʻo fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea: ka ke tomuʻa ngaohi mei ai ha kihiʻi foʻi mā maʻaku, pea ke toki ngaohi maʻau pea mo hoʻo tama.
14 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘ʻE ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi ʻae mahoaʻa ʻi he puha, pea ʻe ʻikai maha ʻae lolo ʻi he ipu, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻe foaki ai ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻuha ki he fonua.’”
15 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia mo ne fai ʻo tatau mo e lea ʻa ʻIlaisiā: pea ko ia, mo ia, pea mo hono kaungāfale, naʻa nau kai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.
16 Pea naʻe ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi ʻae mahoaʻa ʻi he puha, pea naʻe ʻikai foki ke maha ʻae lolo ʻi he ipu, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻia ʻIlaisiā.
17 Pea ʻi heʻene hili ange ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe tō ʻae mahaki ki he tama ʻae fefine, ko e tauhi ʻoe fale; pea naʻe mālohi ʻaupito ʻa hono mahaki pea naʻe ʻikai kei hoko ʻa ʻene mānava.
18 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia ʻIlaisiā, “ʻA koe, ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ko e hā au kiate koe? Kuo ke haʻu ke fakamanatuʻi kiate au ʻa ʻeku kovi, pea ke tāmateʻi ʻa ʻeku tama?”
19 Pea naʻa ne pehē atu kiate ia, “Foaki mai ho tama kiate au.” Pea naʻa ne toʻo mai ia mei hono fatafata, ʻo ne ʻave ia ki he fata ʻi ʻolunga, ʻaia naʻa ne nofo ai, pea naʻa ne tuku hifo ia ki hono mohenga ʻoʻona.
20 Pea naʻa ne tangi kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, kuo ke ʻomi foki ʻae kovi ki he fefine paea ʻaia ʻoku ou nofo ki ai, ʻi hoʻo tāmateʻi ʻa ʻene tama?”
21 Pea naʻa ne fakafoʻofoʻohifo ia ki he tamasiʻi ʻo liunga tolu, mo ne tangi kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe tuku ke toe hoko mai ʻae laumālie ʻoe tamasiʻi ni kiate ia.”
22 Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻIlaisiā; pea naʻe toe hoko mai ʻae laumālie ʻoe tamasiʻi kiate ia, pea naʻa ne toe moʻui.
