Nomipā 18:1-4

¹Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia ʻElone, “Ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha mo e fale ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai te mou fua ʻae hia ʻoe faletapu: pea ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha te mou fua ʻae hia ʻa hoʻomou ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.

²Pea te mou ʻomi fakataha foki mo koe ho kāinga ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Livai, ko e faʻahinga ʻo hoʻo tamai, koeʻuhi te mou feangai mo koe, ʻo ngāue kiate koe: ka ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha te mou fakatahaʻo ngāue ʻi he matafale fehikitaki ʻoe fakamoʻoni.

³Pea tenau tokanga ki hoʻo ngāue, mo e tauhi kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki: kaeʻoua tenau haʻu ke ofi ki he ngaahi ipu ʻoe faletapu mo e feilaulauʻanga, telia naʻa nau mate ai, mo kimoutolu foki.

⁴Pea tenau fakataha ʻakinautolu kiate koe, ʻo tokanga ki he tauhi ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ki he ngāue kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki: pea ʻe ʻikai haʻu ha muli ke ofi kiate kimoutolu.
