2 ʻO aʻu ki he ʻaho naʻe ʻave ai ia ki ʻolunga, ʻi he hili ʻene tuku ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ki he kau ʻaposetolo naʻa ne fili:
3 ʻAkinautolu naʻa ne fakahā ia ki ai kuo moʻui, ʻi he hili ʻene mate, ʻi he ngaahi fakamoʻoni ʻilongofua pea lahi, he naʻa nau mamata kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, pea lea ia ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua:
4 Pea ʻi heʻenau fakataha mo ia, naʻa ne fekau kiate kinautolu “Ke ʻoua te nau ʻalu ʻi Selūsalema, kae tatali ki he talaʻofa ʻae Tamai, ʻa ia, naʻe pehē ai ʻe ia, kuo mou fanongo ai ʻiate au.
5 He naʻe papitaiso moʻoni ʻe Sione ʻaki ʻae vai; kae ʻaho siʻi pē pea ʻe papitaiso ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.”
6 Pea ʻi heʻenau fakataha, naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻEiki, te ke toe ʻange ʻi he kuonga ni ʻae puleʻanga ki ʻIsileli?
7 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai maʻamoutolu ke ʻilo ki he ngaahi kuonga mo e ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia ʻoku faʻiteliha tokotaha pe ki ai ʻae Tamai.
8 Ka te mou maʻu ʻae mālohi, ʻoka hoko mai ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kimoutolu: pea ko ʻeku kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu ʻi Selūsalema, mo Siutea kotoa pē, mo Samēlia, pea ki he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.”
9 Pea hili ʻene ngaahi folofola ni, lolotonga ʻenau siofia ia, naʻe ʻave ia ki ʻolunga; pea fakapuli ia ʻe he ʻao meiate kinautolu.
