Hosea.
7.
‌ʻI he ʻeku tokanga ke fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe toki hā ʻae angahala ʻa ʻIfalemi, pea mo e angakovi ʻa Samēlia: he ʻoku nau fai kākā; pea ʻoku hū ki loto ʻae kaihaʻa, pea ʻoku maumau ʻituʻa ʻe he fakataha ʻoe kau kaihaʻa. 
Pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau tokanga ʻi honau loto, ʻoku ou manatu ki heʻenau angakovi kotoa pē: ko eni, ʻoku kāpui ʻakinautolu ʻe heʻenau faianga ʻanautolu; ʻoku ʻi hoku ʻao ia. 
‌ʻOku nau fakafiefiaʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻi heʻenau angakovi, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻi heʻenau ngaahi loi. 
Ko e kau feʻauaki ʻakinautolu kotoa pē: ʻo hangē ko e ngotoʻumu kuo fakaʻafu ʻe he tangata taʻo mā, ʻoku ne tuku ia hili ʻene natu ʻae mā, kaeʻoua ke tupu. 
‌ʻI he ʻaho ʻo hotau tuʻi kuo fakakona ia ʻe he houʻeiki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi hina uaine; naʻa ne mafao hono nima mo e kau manuki. 
Kuo nau teuteu honau loto hangē ko e ngotoʻumu, ʻi heʻenau kei lama: ʻoku mohe ʻi he pō kotoa ʻenau tangata taʻo mā; ʻi he pongipongi ʻoku vela ia hangē ko e afi ulo. 
‌ʻOku nau vela kotoa pē hangē ko e ngotoʻumu; kuo nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻenau kau fakamaau; kuo hinga honau ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē: ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ui kiate au. 
Kuo fakataha ia mo e kakai ʻa ʻIfalemi; ko e foʻi mā taʻefokihi ʻa ʻIfalemi. 
Kuo kai hono mālohi ʻe he kau muli, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo; ʻio, ko e louʻulu hinehina ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻi heni mo ʻena, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ia. 
Pea ko e fielahi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoku fakatōhifo ia ʻi hono ʻao: pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau tafoki kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pe kumi kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē. 
“ʻOku hangē foki ʻa ʻIfalemi ko e lupe vale ʻoku ʻikai hano loto: ʻoku nau ui ki ʻIsipite, pea nau ʻalu ki ʻAsilia. 
‌ʻOka nau ka ʻalu te u fola hoku kupenga kiate kinautolu; te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki lalo ʻo hangē ko e fanga manupuna ʻoe langi: te u tautea ʻakinautolu, ʻo fakatatau mo e fanongo ʻa ʻenau fakataha. 
Malaʻia kiate kinautolu! He kuo nau hola meiate au: fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu! Koeʻuhi kuo nau talangataʻa kiate au: neongo ʻa ʻeku huhuʻi ʻakinautolu, kuo nau lea loi kiate au. 
Pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau tangi kiate au, ʻaki honau loto ʻi heʻenau kaila ʻi honau mohenga: ʻoku nau fakataha ʻakinautolu ki he koane mo e uaine, pea ʻoku nau angatuʻu kiate au. 
Neongo ʻeku nonoʻo mo fakamālohi honau nima, ka ʻoku nau filioʻi kovi kiate au. 
‌ʻOku nau tafoki, kae ʻikai ki he Fungani Māʻolunga: ʻoku nau hangē ko e kaufana kākā: ʻe tō ʻi he heletā honau houʻeiki, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻita ʻa honau ʻelelo; ko honau manuki eni ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
