Nomipā 11:6-16

⁶Ka ko eni kuo fakamahamaha ʻetau moʻui ke ʻosi; ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi hotau ʻao, ka ko e mana ni.”

⁷Pea naʻe hangē ko e tengaʻi kolianita ʻae mana, pea ko hono lanu naʻe hangē ko e lanu ʻoe mataʻitofe.

⁸Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai, ʻo tānaki ia, pea naʻa nau momosi ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa momosi, pe tuki ia ʻi ha ipu, pea naʻe tunu ia ʻi he ngaahi ipu kapa, pea naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi foʻi ma: pea ko hono ifo naʻe tatau mo e ifo ʻoe lolo foʻou,

⁹Pea ʻi heʻene tō ʻae hahau ʻi he poʻuli ki he ʻapitanga, naʻe tō ʻae mana ki ai.

¹⁰Pea naʻe toki fanongo ʻa Mōsese ki he tangi ʻae kakai ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻae tangata taki taha ʻi he matapā ʻo hono fale fehikitaki: pea naʻe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ʻo lahi; pea naʻe ʻita foki ʻa Mōsese.

¹¹Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia Sihova, “Ko e hā kuo ke fakamamahiʻi ai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki? Pea ko e hā kuo ʻikai te u ʻiloa ai ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, koeʻuhi kuo ke tuku ʻae kavenga ʻae kakai ni kotoa pē kiate au?

¹²He ko au koā naʻe tuʻituʻia ʻi he kakai ni kotoa pē? Pe ko au naʻaku fakatupu ʻakinautolu? He kuo ke folofola mai kiate au, Ke ke fua ʻakinautolu ʻi ho fatafata, ʻo hangē ko e tamai ʻoku ne tauhi, ʻo fua ʻae tamasiʻi ʻoku huhu, ki he fonua ʻaia naʻa ke fuakava ʻaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai?

¹³Pea te u maʻu mei fē ʻeau ha kakano ke foaki ki he kakai ni kotoa pē? He ʻoku nau tangi kiate au, ʻonau pehē, Foaki mai ha kakano maʻamautolu koeʻuhi ke mau kai.

¹⁴‌ʻOku ʻikai te u mālohi ke u fua tokotaha pe ʻae kakai ni, koeʻuhi ʻoku nau mamafa fau kiate au.

¹⁵Pea kapau te ke fai pehē kiate au, ʻoku ou kole atu ki hoʻo ʻafio ke ke tāmateʻi leva au mei ho nima, ʻo kapau ʻoku ou ʻiloa ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao; kaeʻoua ʻe tuku au ke u mamata ki hoku mamahi.”

¹⁶Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Tānaki mai kiate au ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitungofulu ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ke ʻilo ko e kau mātuʻa ʻi he kakai, pea mo e kau matāpule ʻiate kinautolu; pea ke ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, koeʻuhi kenau tuʻu fakataha ʻi ai mo koe.
