¹⁴Pea naʻe ʻikai ha ʻaho ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa pe kimui ʻo ia, koeʻuhi ke tokanga ʻa Sihova ki he leʻo ʻoe tangata: he naʻe tau ʻa Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli.

¹⁵Pea naʻe liu mai ʻa Siosiua, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki he ʻapitanga ʻi Kilikali.

¹⁶Ka naʻe hola ʻae kau tuʻi ʻe toko nima ni, ʻo nau fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻana ʻi Maketa.

¹⁷Pea naʻe tala kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, “Kuo ʻilo ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko nima kuo nau fufū ʻi he ʻana ʻi Maketa.”

¹⁸Pea pehē ʻe Siosiua, “Tekaʻi ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi ki he ngutu ʻana, pea fakanofo ki ai ʻae kau tangata ke leʻohi ʻakinautolu:

¹⁹Pea ʻoua naʻa mou tatali, kae tuli ki homou ngaahi fili, pea taaʻi honau muifononga; ʻoua naʻa mou tuku ʻakinautolu ke hū ki heʻenau ngaahi kolo: he kuo tuku ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ki homou nima.”

²⁰Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻosi hono taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he tāmateʻi lahi ʻaupito, kenau ʻauha ai, naʻe hū ʻakinautolu naʻe hao ki he ngaahi kolo mālohi.

²¹Pea naʻe liu mai ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he ʻapitanga kia Siosiua ʻi Maketa ʻi he fiemālie: naʻe ʻikai lea kovi ha tokotaha ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

²²Pea toki pehē ai ʻe Siosiua, “Toʻo ʻae ngutu ʻana, ʻo ʻomi ʻae tuʻi naʻe toko nima kiate au mei he ʻana.”

²³Pea naʻa nau fai ia, ʻo ʻomi kituʻa kiate ia ʻae tuʻi ko ia ʻe toko nima mei he ʻana, ko e tuʻi ʻo Selūsalema, mo e tuʻi ʻo Hepeloni, mo e tuʻi ʻo Samuti, mo e tuʻi ʻo Lakisi, mo e tuʻi ʻo Ekeloni.

²⁴Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi tuʻi na kia Siosiua, naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua ki he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē ki he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe kautau ʻaia naʻe ʻalu mo ia, Mou ʻunuʻunu mai, pea ʻai homou vaʻe ki he kia ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ni. Pea naʻa nau ʻunuʻunu mai pea naʻe ʻai honau vaʻe ki honau kia.

²⁵Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa mou manavahē, pea ʻoua naʻa mou lilika, ka mou mālohi, pea lototoʻa: he koeʻuhi ʻe fai pehē pē ʻe Sihova ki homou ngaahi fili ʻaia ʻoku mou tauʻi.”

²⁶Pea hili ia naʻe taaʻi ʻe Siosiua ʻakinautolu, ʻo tāmateʻi, pea ne tautau ʻakinautolu ki he ʻakau ʻe nima: pea naʻe tautau ai pe ʻakinautolu ki he ʻakau ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
