1Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻaku mamata ki he ʻāngelo ʻe toko fā, ʻoku nau tuʻu ʻi he tuliki ʻe fā ʻo māmani, ʻonau puke ʻae matangi ʻe fā ʻo māmani, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa havili ʻae matangi ki he fonua, pe ki he tahi, pe ki ha ʻakau.
2Pea ne u mamata ki ha ʻāngelo ʻe taha naʻe ʻalu hake mei he potu hahake, kuo ʻiate ia ʻae meʻa fakamaʻu ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui: pea naʻe kalanga ia ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi ki he ʻāngelo ʻe toko fā, naʻe tuku ki ai ke tautea ʻae fonua mo e tahi,
3ʻO pehē, “ʻOua naʻa tautea ʻae fonua, pe ko e tahi, pe ko e ngaahi ʻakau, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻemau fakaʻilongaʻi ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa homau ʻOtua ʻi honau foʻi laʻē.”
4Pea ne u fanongo ki hono lau ʻokinautolu naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi: naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻae tokotaha kilu mo e toko fā mano mo e toko fā afe.
5Naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Siuta ʻae tokotaha mano mo e toko ua afe. Naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni ʻae tokotaha mano mo e toko ua afe naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Kata ʻae tokotaha mano mo e toko ua afe.

9Pea hili eni, naʻaku mamata, pea vakai, ko e fuʻu kakai ʻaia kuo ʻikai faʻa lau ʻe ha taha, mei he puleʻanga, mo e faʻahinga, mo e kakai, mo e lea kotoa pē, naʻa nau tutuʻu ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe Lami, kuo nau kofuʻaki ʻae ngaahi kofu hinehina tōtōlofa, mo e vaʻa ponga ʻi honau nima;
10Pea naʻa nau kalanga ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku mei hotau ʻOtua ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea mo e Lami, ʻae fakamoʻui.”
11Pea naʻe tutuʻu takatakai ʻae kau ʻāngelo kotoa pē ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea ʻi he kau mātuʻa mo e meʻa moʻui ʻe fā, pea naʻa nau fakafoʻohifo honau mata ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻo hū ki he ʻOtua,
12ʻonau pehē, “ʻEmeni: Ke ʻi hotau ʻOtua ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata ʻae fakafetaʻi, mo e ongoongolelei, mo e poto, Mo e fakamālō, mo e fakaʻapaʻapa, mo e māfimafi, mo e mālohi. ʻEmeni.”
13Pea naʻe lea ʻae toko taha ʻoe kau mātuʻa, ʻo pehē mai kiate au, “Ko hai ʻakinautolu ni ʻoku teunga ʻaki ʻae ngaahi kofu hinehina tōtōlofa? Pea ʻoku nau haʻu mei fē?”
14Pea ne u pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, heiʻilo koe.” Pea ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ko kinautolu eni naʻe haʻu mei he mamahi lahi, pea kuo nau fō ke hinehina honau kofu tōtōlofa ʻi he taʻataʻa ʻoe Lami.
15Ko ia ai ʻoku nau ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo tauhi ia ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ʻi hono fale tapu: pea ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻe nofo ia ʻiate kinautolu.
16ʻE ʻikai te nau toe fiekaia, pe toe fieinua; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau laʻāina, pe puhengia.
17He ko e Lami ʻoku ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki te ne matavai moʻui; pea ʻe holoholo ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae loʻimata kotoa pē mei honau mata.”
