⁴⁶Kapau te nau angahala kiate koe, (he ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku taʻehaangahala,) pea te ke houhau kiate kinautolu, mo ke tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he fili, koeʻuhi ke nau fetuku ʻakinautolu ko e kau pōpula ki he fonua ʻoe fili, pe ko e mamaʻo pe ko e ofi;

⁴⁷Pea kapau te nau toe fakatokangaʻi honau loto ʻi he fonua ko ia kuo ʻave pōpula ki ai kinautolu, monau fakatomala, mo fakakolekole kiate koe mei he fonua ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻave pōpula kinautolu, ʻonau pehē, Kuo mau angahala, pea kuo mau fai talangataʻa, kuo mau fai ʻae kovi;

⁴⁸Pea pehē ʻenau tafoki mai kiate koe ʻaki ʻa honau loto kātoa, pea mo honau laumālie kotoa, ʻi he fonua ʻo honau ngaahi fili, ʻaia naʻe ʻave pōpula kinautolu, pea nau lotu kiate koe ʻo hanga ki honau fonua, ʻaia naʻa ke foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻae kolo ko ia, kuo ke fili, pea mo e fale ʻaia kuo u langa ki ho huafa:

⁴⁹Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga ki heʻenau lotu mo ʻenau kole, pea ke tokonia kinautolu ʻi he meʻa totonu,

⁵⁰Pea ke fakamolemole ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻaia kuo angahala kiate koe, mo ʻenau fai kovi kotoa pē ʻaia kuo nau fai kovi ai kiate koe, pea ke fai ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻave pōpula kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau fai ʻofa kiate kinautolu:

⁵¹He ko hoʻo kakai kinautolu, pea ko ho tofiʻa, ʻaia naʻa ke ʻomi mei ʻIsipite, mei he lotolotonga ʻoe afi tutuʻanga ukamea:

⁵²Koeʻuhi he ʻafio ʻa ho fofonga ki he kole ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea ki he kole ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ke fanongo kiate kinautolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nau tāpafua ai kiate koe.

⁵³He naʻa ke mavahe ʻakinautolu mei he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe māmani, ko ho tofiʻa, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola ʻia Mōsese ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻi hoʻo ʻomi ʻemau ngaahi tamai mei ʻIsipite, ʻa koe, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”

⁵⁴Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi ʻe Solomone ʻa ʻene lotu ʻaki ʻae lotu ni mo e kole ni kia Sihova, naʻa ne tuʻu hake mei he ʻao ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, mei heʻene tūʻulutui ʻi hono tui kae mafao ʻa hono nima ki ʻolunga ki he langi.

⁵⁵Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake, ʻo ne tāpuakiʻi ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo ne pehē,

⁵⁶“Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne foaki ʻae mālōlō ki heʻene kakai ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne talaʻofa ki ai: kuo ʻikai ke tō noa ha momoʻi lea ʻe taha ʻo ʻene talaʻofa lelei kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻa ne talaʻofa ʻaki ʻi he nima ʻo ʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese.

⁵⁷Ke ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻi heʻetau ngaahi tamai: ke ʻoua naʻa ne mahuʻi ʻiate kitautolu pe liʻaki ʻakitautolu:

⁵⁸Koeʻuhi ke ne ueʻi hotau loto kiate ia, ke ʻalu ʻi hono hala kotoa pē, pea ke fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau, mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ki heʻetau ngaahi tamai.

⁵⁹Pea tuku ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea ko eni, ʻaia kuo u fai ai ʻeku kole ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke ofi ia kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, koeʻuhi ke ne tokoni ki he meʻa totonu ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki, mo e meʻa totonu ʻa ʻene kakai ʻIsileli ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻaonga.

⁶⁰Koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani ʻoku ʻOtua ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha taha kehe.

⁶¹Ko ia tuku ke angatonu ʻa homou loto kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻi heʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pea ke fai ʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho ni.”

⁶²Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻae feilaulau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻe he tuʻi pea mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia.
