1Pea ne u mamata ki he fakaʻilonga ʻe taha ʻi he langi, naʻe lahi mo fakaofo, ko e ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu, kuo ʻi ai ʻae malaʻia fakaʻosi ʻe fitu; he kuo fakakakato ʻi ai ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻOtua.
2Pea ne u mamata, pea naʻe hangē ha tahi sioʻata, ʻoku fefiofi mo e afi: pea ko kinautolu kuo nau ikuna ʻae manu fekai, mo hono fakatātā, mo hono fakaʻilonga, mo e lau ʻo hono hingoa, ʻoku nau tutuʻu ʻi he tahi sioʻata, kuo ʻiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi haʻape ʻoe ʻOtua.
3Pea ʻoku nau hiva ʻaki ʻae hiva ʻa Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua, mo e hiva ʻoe Lami, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku lahi mo fakaofo ʻa hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, ʻE ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi; ʻOku angatonu mo moʻoni ʻa ho ngaahi hala, ʻA koe ko e Tuʻi ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni.
4Ko hai ʻe taʻemanavahē kiate koe, ʻe ʻEiki, mo taʻefakahikihikiʻi ho huafa? He ko koe pe ʻoku māʻoniʻoni: He koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu ʻo hū ʻi ho ʻao ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē; He kuo fakahā ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.”
5Pea hili ia, ne u mamata, pea vakai, kuo matoʻo ʻae potu tapu ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakamoʻoni ʻi he langi:
6Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu mei he fale tapu, kuo ʻiate kinautolu ʻae malaʻia ʻe fitu, kuo nau kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu naʻe maʻa mo hinehina, pea nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae ngaahi noʻo koula ʻi honau fatafata.
7Pea ko e tokotaha ʻoe meʻa moʻui ʻe toko fā, naʻa ne ʻatu ki he ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu ʻae hina koula ʻe fitu, kuo pito ʻi he houhau ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku moʻui ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.
8Pea naʻe fakapito ʻae fale tapu ʻaki ʻae kohu mei he nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua, pea mei hono mālohi: pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa fai ʻe he taha ke hū ki he fale tapu, kaeʻoua ke kakato ʻae malaʻia ʻe fitu naʻe ʻi he ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu.
