1 Tuʻi 7:9-17

⁹Naʻe mahuʻinga hono ngaahi maka kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau mo e fuofua ʻoe ngaahi maka kuo tā, ka naʻe hele ʻaki ʻae kili, ʻi loto pea ʻi tuʻa, ʻio, mei he tuʻunga ʻo aʻu hake ki he tulutulu, pea naʻe pehē ia ʻi tuʻa ʻo hanga atu ki he lotoʻā lahi.

¹⁰Pea ko hono tuʻunga naʻe ʻoe ngaahi maka mahuʻinga, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi, ko e ngaahi maka naʻe uofulu malie ʻa hono hanga, mo e ngaahi maka naʻe hanga ʻe hongofulu ma ono.

¹¹Pea naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻae ngaahi maka mahuʻinga, ʻo tatau mo e fuofua ʻoe ngaahi maka kuo tā, pea mo e ngaahi sita.

¹²Pea ko e lotoʻā lahi ʻaia naʻe takatakai ai naʻe ʻotu tolu ʻae ngaahi maka tātā, pea mo e ʻotu ʻe taha ʻoe ngaahi lalanga sita, ki he lotoʻā ki loto ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ki he hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu ʻoe fale.

¹³Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Solomone ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa Helami mei Taia.

¹⁴Ko e tama ia ʻoe fefine naʻe pekia hono husepāniti ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Nafitali, pea ko ʻene tamai ko e tangata Taia, ko e tufunga ʻi he palasa: pea naʻe fonu ia ʻi he poto, mo e faʻa fakakaukau, mo nimameaʻa ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻi he palasa.

¹⁵He naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ongo pou palasa, naʻe taki taha ʻae hanga ʻe tolungofulu hona māʻolunga: pea ko hono fua takatakai ʻaki ʻae afo ko e taki taha ʻae hanga ʻe uofulu ma fā.

¹⁶Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ʻulu pou ʻe ua ʻaki ʻae palasa naʻe haka, koeʻuhi ke ʻai ʻi he ongo ʻulu pou: ko e māʻolunga ʻoe ʻulu pou ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu, pea ko e māʻolunga ʻoe ʻulu pou ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu:

¹⁷Pea ko e teunga fakavangavanga, mo e kahoa ʻoe ngāue naʻe fakafihifihi ki he ʻuluʻi pou ʻaia naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi pou; ko e fitu ki he ʻuluʻi pou ʻe taha, pea fitu ki he ʻuluʻi pou kehe ʻe taha.
