1 ʻOku tokanga ʻa Sohanani ke ʻeke ʻe Selemaia ki he ʻOtua, pea ne fakahā te ne fai talangofua kia Sihova. 7 ʻOku fakahā ʻe Selemaia ʻe maluʻi ia ʻi Siuta, 13 Kae fakaʻauha ʻi ʻIsipite. 19 ʻOku ne valoki ki heʻenau kākā, ʻi heʻenau kole kia Sihova ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te nau loto ki ai.
1 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻo ofi ʻae houʻeikitau kotoa pē, mo Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, pea mo Seasania ko e foha ʻo Hosaia, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē mei he iiki ʻo aʻu ki he lalahi, 2 Pea naʻa nau lea kia Selemaia ko e palōfita, “ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, tuku ke lelei ʻi ho ʻao ʻemau kole, pea hūfia ʻakimautolu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko kimautolu kotoa pē ʻoku toe; (he ko e toenga tokosiʻi ʻakimautolu ʻoe tokolahi, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku ke mamata ki ai:) 3 Koeʻuhi ke fakahā kiate kimautolu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae hala te mau ʻalu ai, pea mo e meʻa te mau fai.”
4 Pea pehē ʻe Selemaia, “Ko e palōfita kiate kinautolu, kuo u fanongo kiate kimoutolu; vakai, te u lotu kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou ngaahi lea; pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻe tali ai ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu, te u fakahā ia kiate kimoutolu; ʻe ʻikai te u taʻofi ha meʻa meiate kimoutolu.”
5 Pea naʻa nau toki pehē kia Selemaia, “Ke ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova ko e fakamoʻoni angatonu mo moʻoni, kapau ʻe ʻikai te mau fai ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia ʻe fekau ai koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate kimautolu. 6 Kapau ʻoku lelei ia pe kovi, te mau talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku mau fekau koe ki ai; koeʻuhi ke lelei ia kiate kimautolu, ʻoka mau ka talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua.”
