²⁴Ko e ʻOtua ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻa māmani mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, ʻoku ʻikai nofo ia ʻi he ngaahi fale kuo ngaohi ʻe he nima, he ko e ʻEiki ia ʻoe langi mo māmani;

²⁵Pea ʻoku ʻikai tauhi ʻaki ia ʻae nima ʻoe tangata, ʻo hangē ʻoku masiva ia ʻi ha meʻa, he ʻoku foaki ʻe ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻae moʻui, mo e mānava, mo e meʻa kotoa pē;

²⁶Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻi he toto pe taha ʻae ngaahi kakai kotoa pē ke nofo ʻi he funga ʻo māmani kotoa pē, pea kuo tomuʻa tukupau ʻae ngaahi kuonga, mo e ngataʻanga ʻo honau nofoʻanga;
