¹⁹Pea nau fehuʻi kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoʻomo tama eni, ʻoku mo lau naʻe fanauʻi kui? Pea ʻoku ʻa fēfē eni?”

²⁰Pea leaange ʻene mātuʻa kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ma ʻilo ko ʻema tama eni, pea naʻe fanauʻi ʻoku kui:

²¹Ka ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ʻā ai ni ia, ʻoku ʻikai te ma ʻilo; pea ʻoku ʻikai te ma ʻilo pe ko hai kuo fakaʻā hono mata; ka ʻoku lahi ia: fehuʻi ki ai: ke lea ia kiate ia.”

²²Naʻe pehē ʻae lea ʻa ʻene mātuʻa, he naʻa na manavahē ki he kakai Siu: he kuo alea pau ʻae kakai Siu, kapau ʻe ai ha tokotaha te ne fakahā ko e Kalaisi ia, ʻe kapusi ia mei he falelotu.

²³Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe heʻene mātuʻa, “ʻOku lahi ia; fehuʻi ki ai.”

²⁴Pea naʻa nau toe ui ʻae tangata naʻe kui, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Tuku ki he ʻOtua ʻae fakamālō: ʻoku mau ʻilo ko e angahala ʻae tangata ni.”

²⁵Pea leaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko ha angahala ia pe ʻikai, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo: ko e meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ou ʻilo, naʻaku kui, ka ko eni ʻoku ou ʻā.”

²⁶Pea toe fehuʻi ai ʻakinautolu kiate ia, “Ko e hā naʻa ne fai kiate koe? Naʻe fēfeeʻi ʻene fakaʻā ho mata?”

²⁷Pea leaange ia kiate kinautolu, “Kuo ʻosi ʻeku tala kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai te mou ongoʻi: ko e hā ʻoku mou toe fie fanongo ai? Te mou ului ko ʻene kau ākonga foki?”

²⁸Pea nau taukaea ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko ʻene ākonga ʻa koe; ka ko e kau ākonga ʻa Mōsese ʻakimautolu.

²⁹‌ʻOku mau ʻilo naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Mōsese: ka ko e tangata ni, ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo pe ʻoku mei fē ia.”

³⁰Pea leaange ʻae tangata, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ta ko e meʻa fakamanavahē eni, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo pe ʻoku haʻu ia mei fē, ka kuo ne fakaʻā hoku mata.

³¹‌ʻOku tau ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae kau angahala: ka ʻoka lotu ha tangata ki he ʻOtua, pea fai hono finangalo, ʻoku ne ongoʻi ia.

³²Talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻo māmani ʻoku teʻeki fanongo naʻe ai ha tangata kuo fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻo ha tokotaha kuo fanauʻi kui.

³³Ka ne ʻikai ʻi he ʻOtua ʻae tangata ni, ʻe ʻikai faʻa fai ʻe ia ha meʻa.”

³⁴Pea leaange ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Naʻa ke tupu tofu pe ʻi he ngaahi angahala, pea ʻoku ke akoʻi ʻakimautolu?” Pea naʻa nau kapusi ia kituʻa.
