Siosiua 24:17-23

¹⁷He ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ko ia ia kuo ne ʻomi ʻakitautolu mo ʻetau ngaahi tamai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale fakapōpula, pea ko ia naʻa ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaʻilonga lahi ʻi hotau ʻao, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu ʻi he hala kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa tau ʻalu ai, pea ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa tau ʻalu ai:

¹⁸Pea naʻe kapusi ʻe Sihova mei hotau ʻao ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻae kau ʻAmoli ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he fonua: ko ia foki te mau tauhi ʻa Sihova; he ko homau ʻOtua ia.”

¹⁹Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai, “ʻOku ʻikai te mou faʻa tauhi ʻa Sihova; he ko e ʻOtua māʻoniʻoni ia; ko e ʻOtua fuaʻa ia; ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamolemole hoʻomou ngaahi talangataʻa mo hoʻomou ngaahi angahala.

²⁰Kapau ʻoku mou liʻaki ʻa Sihova, pea tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, te ne foki mai ʻo tautea ʻakimoutolu, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakimoutolu, hili ʻa ʻene fai lelei kiate kimoutolu.”

²¹Pea naʻa nau tala kia Siosiua, “ʻE ʻikai; ka te mau tauhi ʻa Sihova.”

²²Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai, “Ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu kiate kimoutolu kuo mou fili ʻa Sihova moʻomoutolu ke tauhi ia.” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimautolu.”

²³Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Pea ko eni, tukuange ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, pea mou fakatokangaʻi homou loto kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.”
