3 Pea naʻe tuʻu ai ʻa Siosiua, mo e kautau kotoa pē, kenau ʻalu hake ki ʻAi: pea naʻe fili ʻe Siosiua ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolu mano, ko e kau mālohi mo toʻa, ʻo ne fekau kenau ʻalu ʻi he poʻuli.
4 Pea naʻa ne fekau kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, te mou toka malumu ʻo hanga ki he kolo, ʻio, ʻi he tuʻa kolo ki mui: ʻoua naʻa mou ʻalu mamaʻo fau mei he kolo, ka mou talitali teu pe kotoa pē:
5 Pea ko au, mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate au, te mau ʻunuʻunu ʻo ofi ki he kolo: pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau haʻu kituʻa kiate kimautolu, ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki fai, te mau hola mei honau ʻao,
6 (He tenau haʻu ko homau tuli,) kaeʻoua ke mau tautoho mai ʻakinautolu mei he kolo: he tenau pehē, ʻOku nau hola ʻi hotau ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e fuofua fai ko ia te mau hola ai ʻi honau ʻao.
7 Pea mou toki tuʻu hake ʻae malumu, pea maʻu ʻae kolo: he ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua te ne tukuange ia ki homou nima.
8 Pea ʻe pehē, ʻi hoʻomou lavaʻi ʻae kolo, te mou tutu leva ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae afi; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ʻe pehē hoʻomou fai. Vakai, kuo u fekau kiate kimoutolu.”
9 Ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua kenau ʻalu atu: pea naʻa nau ʻalu ke toka ʻae malumu, pea naʻa nau nofo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Peteli mo ʻAi, ʻi he potu lulunga ki ʻAi: ka naʻe mohe ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pō ko ia mo e kakai.
10 Pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pongipongi, ʻo ne lau ʻae kakai, pea ne ʻalu hake, ʻaia mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ki ʻAi.
11 Pea ko e kakai kotoa pē, ʻae kautau naʻe ʻiate ia, naʻe ʻalu hake, pea ʻunuʻunu, ʻo hoko ki he ʻao ʻoe kolo, ʻonau nofo ʻi he potu tokelau ʻo ʻAi: ka naʻe ai ʻae fuʻu luo ʻi honau vahaʻa mo ʻAi.
