Nomipā 24:10-14

¹⁰Pea naʻe tupu ʻae ʻita ʻa Pelaki kia Pelami, pea naʻa ne pasipasi ʻa hono nima: pea pehē ʻe Pelaki kia Pelami, “Naʻaku ui mai ko e ke ke tukitalaʻi hoku ngaahi fili, pea vakai, kuo ke tāpuakiʻi tofu pe ʻakinautolu ni ʻo liunga tolu.

¹¹Pea ko ia ke ke puna ki ho potu: ne u ʻamanaki ke u hakeakiʻi koe ke ke ongoongo lahi, pea vakai, kuo taʻofi koe ʻe Sihova mei he ongoongolelei.”

¹²Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Pelami kia Pelaki, “ʻIkai naʻaku lea ki hoʻo kau talafekau ʻaia naʻa ke fekau mai kiate au, ʻo pehē,

¹³Kapau ʻe foaki ʻe Pelaki kiate au ʻa hono fale ʻoku pito ʻi he siliva mo e koula, ʻe ʻikai te u fakakeheʻi ʻae fekau ʻa Sihova, ke fai ʻae lelei pe ko e kovi ʻi hoku loto ʻoʻoku; ka ko ia ʻe folofola mai ʻe Sihova, ko ia pe te u lea ʻaki?”

¹⁴Pea ko eni, “Vakai, te u ʻalu au ki hoku kakai: ka te u fakahā kiate ko e ʻaia ʻe fai ʻe he kakai ni ki ho kakai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui.”
