Nomipā 18:3-9

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.

⁵Pea te mou tokanga ki he tauhi ʻoe faletapu, mo e tauhi ʻoe feilaulauʻanga: koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe hoko ʻae houhau ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

⁶Pea ko au, vakai, kuo u ʻomi homou kāinga ʻoe kau Livai mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ʻoku foaki ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e meʻa foaki kiate kimoutolu maʻa Sihova, ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

⁷Pea ko ia, ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha te mou tokanga ki hoʻomou ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, mo e loto puipui; pea te mou tauhi: kuo u foaki kiate kimoutolu hoʻomou ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ʻo hangē ko e meʻa foaki: pea ko e muli ʻe haʻu ʻo ofi ʻe tāmateʻi ia.”

⁸Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “Kuo u foaki foki kiate koe ʻae tauhi ʻo ʻeku feilaulau hiki hake ʻi he ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; kuo u foaki ia kiate koe koeʻuhi ko e fakanofo, pea ki ho ngaahi foha, ʻi he talatuku ʻo lauikuonga.

⁹Ko hoʻo meʻa eni ʻi he ngaahi meʻa toputapu, kuo hao ʻi he afi: ko ʻenau feilaulau kotoa pē, ko ʻenau feilaulau meʻakai kotoa pē, ko ʻenau feilaulau kotoa pē maʻae angahala, mo ʻenau feilaulau fakalelei kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo nau ʻange kiate au, ʻe mātuʻaki tapu ia maʻau, mo ho ngaahi foha.
