⁵Vakai, te ke feitama koe, pea fanauʻi ʻae tama pea ʻoua naʻa ʻai ha tele ki hono ʻulu koeʻuhi ke hoko ia ko e taha fakamavahe ia ki he ʻOtua mei he manāva: pea ʻe kamata ʻe ia ke fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli mei he nima ʻoe kau Filisitia.”

⁶Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae fefine ʻo tala ki hono husepāniti, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata ʻae ʻOtua kiate au, pea naʻe tatau hono mata mo e mata ʻoe ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua, naʻe fakamanavahē: ka naʻe ʻikai te u fehuʻi pe ne haʻu mei fē ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tala mai hono hingoa:

⁷Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate au, Vakai, te ke feitama, pea fanauʻi ʻae tama; pea ko eni, ʻoua naʻa ke inu uaine pe ha inu mālohi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke kai ha meʻa taʻemaʻa: koeʻuhi ʻe fakamavahe ʻae tama ki he ʻOtua mei he manāva ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene pekia.”

⁸Pea naʻe toki kole fakamātoato ʻe Manoa kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, ke ke tuku ke toe haʻu ʻae tangata ʻae ʻOtua ʻaia naʻa ke fekau kiate kimaua, pea ako kiate kimaua ʻaia te ma fai ki he tamasiʻi ʻaia ʻe fanauʻi.”

⁹Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae leʻo ʻo Manoa; pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ki he fefine ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi he ngoue: ka naʻe ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻa Manoa.

¹⁰Pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe he fefine pea lele ʻo fakahā ki hono husepāniti, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo fakahā kiate au ʻae tangata, ʻaia naʻe haʻu kiate au ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha.”
