Pea ko au foki ʻi he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo Talaiasi ko e Mitia, ʻio, ko au, naʻaku tuʻu hake ke fakatuʻumaʻu mo tokoni kiate ia. 
Pea ko eni, te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae moʻoni. “Vakai, ʻe toetuʻu hake ʻi Peasia, ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko tolu; pea ko hono fā ʻe koloaʻia lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē: pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene mālohi koeʻuhi ko ʻene koloa, te ne ueʻi kotoa pē ke tali tuʻu ki he puleʻanga ʻo Kalisi. 
“Pea ʻe tuʻu hake ha tuʻi mālohi, ʻaia ʻe pule ʻaki ʻae pule lahi, pea ne fai ʻo fakatatau mo hono loto. 
Pea ʻoka ne tuʻu hake ia ʻe mafesi hono puleʻanga, pea ʻe movetevete ia ki he feituʻu matangi ʻe fā ʻoe langi, ka e ʻikai ki hono hako, pea ʻe ʻikai tatau ia mo hono puleʻanga, ʻaia naʻa ne puleʻi: he koeʻuhi ʻe taʻaki hono puleʻanga, koeʻuhi ko e niʻihi kehe, ka e ʻikai koeʻuhi ko kinautolu pe. 
¶ “Pea ʻe mālohi ʻae tuʻi mei he potu tonga, mo e tokotaha ʻi hono houʻeiki; pea ʻe mālohi hake ia ʻiate ia, pea ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae pule; pea ko ʻene pule ʻe hoko ko e pule lahi. 
Pea ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi taʻu te nau fakataha ʻakinautolu: he ko e ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga, ʻe haʻu ia ki he tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau, ke fai ha fuakava mo ia: ka e ʻikai maʻu kiate ia ʻae mālohi ʻoe nima; pea ʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ia, ʻaia pe ko hono nima: ka e tukuange ʻae fefine, mo kinautolu naʻa nau omi mo ia, mo ia naʻa ne tupu ai, pea mo ia naʻe tokoni ki ai ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ko ia. 
Ka e tupu hake mei hono mangaʻi aka ʻe taha ha tokotaha ʻi hono tofiʻa, ʻaia ʻe hoko mai mo e kau tau, pea ʻe hū ia ki he kolo ʻoe tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau, pea te nau fai mo ia, pea te ne ikuna: 
Pea ʻe ʻave pōpula foki ki ʻIsipite, ʻa honau ngaahi ʻotua, pea mo honau houʻeiki, pea mo ʻenau ngaahi ipu mahuʻinga, ko e siliva mo e koula; pea ʻe lahi hono taʻu ʻoʻona, ʻi he tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau. 
Ko ia ʻe haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga ki hono puleʻanga, pea toki foki atu ki hono fonua ʻoʻona. 
Ka e ueʻi ai hono ngaahi foha, pea te nau tānaki ʻae fuʻu kau tau tokolahi; pea ko honau tokotaha ʻe haʻu moʻoni ia ʻo kāpui, mo ʻalu atu: pea ʻe toki foki mai ia, pea ʻe toe hiki ʻe ia ʻae tau, ʻo aʻu ki heʻene kolo. 
Pea ʻe ngaue ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga ʻi he tuputāmaki kiate ia, pea ʻe haʻu ia ʻo tau mo ia, ʻio, mo e tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau; pea ʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻae fuʻu tokolahi kiate ia, ka e tuku ʻae fuʻu tokolahi ki hono nima. 
Pea ʻoka ne ka fetuku atu ʻae fuʻu tokolahi, ʻe fakahikihiki hono loto; pea te ne lī ki lalo ʻae ngaahi toko mano lahi: ka e ʻikai te ne mālohi ai. 
He koeʻuhi ʻe toe haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau, pea te ne ʻomi mo e fuʻu tokolahi, ʻo lahi hake ʻi he ʻuluaki, ʻoku pau pe ke toe hoko mai ia mo e fuʻu kau tau, pea mo e koloa lahi, ʻoka hili ʻae ngaahi taʻu. 
Pea ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ko ia ʻe tuʻu hake ʻae tokolahi ki he tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga; pea ko e kau kaihaʻa ʻi hoʻo kakai foki, te nau hakeakiʻi ʻakinautolu ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻae meʻa hā mai; ka te nau hinga. 
Ko ia ʻe haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau, pea keli kolo, pea ʻe ikuʻi ʻae ngaahi kolo kuo ʻāʻi mālohi: pea ko e mahafu ʻoe potu tonga ʻe ʻikai faʻa taʻofi ki ai, pe ko ʻene kakai fili, pea ʻe ʻikai siʻi ha mālohi ke taʻofi. 
Ka ko ia ʻoku haʻu kiate ia ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻa ʻene faʻiteliha, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ha tokotaha ʻi hono ʻao: pea ʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he fonua ʻoe monūʻia, pea ʻe fakaʻauha foki ia ʻi hono nima. 
Pea ʻe fakahangatonu hono mata foki ke hū ki ai mo e mālohi kotoa ʻo hono puleʻanga, mo e matamata fai totonu; ʻe pehē pe ʻene fai: pea neongo ʻene foaki kiate ia ʻae fungani ʻi he kau fefine, ke kākaaʻi: ka ʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ia kiate ia, pe kau mo ia. 
Pea hili ia ʻe fakahangatonu, hono mata ki he ngaahi ʻotu motu, pea te ne maʻu ia ʻo lahi: ka e ʻi ai ʻae ʻeikitau ʻe taha te ne fakangata ʻa ʻene polepole mai, pea ʻe liliu ʻe ia ʻae manuki ke toe hoko kiate ia pe. 
Pea hili ia te ne toki fakahangatonu hono mata ke ʻalu ki he kolo ʻo hono fonua: ka te ne tūkia mo humu, pea ʻe ʻikai kei ʻiloʻi ia. 
Pea ʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻi hono tuʻunga ʻoʻona ha taha fakatupu tukuhau ʻi he nāunau ʻoe puleʻanga: ka e ʻaho siʻi pe pea ʻe ʻauha ia, ka e ʻikai ʻi he ʻita, pe ʻi he tau. 
Pea ʻe tuʻu hake ʻi hono potu ʻoʻona ha tokotaha fakalielia, ʻe ʻikai te nau tuku ki ai ʻae nāunau ʻoe puleʻanga: ka te ne hoko ki ai ʻi he melino, pea te ne maʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he lapu. 
Pea ʻe melemo ʻakinautolu ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he malofa mai ʻae mahafutau ʻo hangē ko e vai, pea ʻe maumauʻi ia, ʻio, ʻe ia mo e ʻEiki naʻe fai ʻae fuakava; 
Pea ka hili ʻa ʻena fai fuakava mo ia, te ne fai kākā: koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu ia, pea te ne hoko ʻo mālohi ka ko e kakai tokosiʻi. 
He te ne hoko ʻi he melino pe ʻo maʻu ʻae ngaahi potu koloaʻia ʻoe fonua; pea ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ke fai ʻe heʻene ngaahi tamai, pe ko ʻene ngaahi kui; he te ne tufa kiate kinautolu ʻae meʻa kuo maʻu ʻi he mālohi, mo e meʻa maʻu ʻi he tau, mo e koloa: pea ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻene fakakaukau ki he ngaahi potu mālohi, ʻio, ʻi ha kuonga. 
Pea te ne langaʻi ʻene mālohi, pea ʻe toʻa hono loto ki he tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga mo e fuʻu kau tau; pea ʻe ngaue ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga ke tau mo e kau tau tokolahi fakamanavahē; ka e ʻikai te ne tuʻumaʻu: koeʻuhi te nau fakakaukauʻi ʻae ngaahi tauhele kiate ia. 
‌ʻIo, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kai ʻi heʻene meʻakai, te nau tāmateʻi ia, pea ko ʻene kautau ʻe movete: pea ʻe tō ʻo mate ʻae tokolahi. 
Pea ʻe loto ʻae ongo tuʻi ni fakatouʻosi pe ke fai kovi, pea te na lea loi ʻi he keinangaʻanga pe taha ka e ʻikai lava: he ko e ngataʻanga ʻe hoko pe ia ʻi he kuonga kuo kotofa. 
¶ “Pea ʻe toki foki atu ia ki hono fonua mo e koloa lahi; pea ʻe kovi hono loto ki he fuakava māʻoniʻoni; pea te ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, pea foki atu ki hono fonua. 
Pea ʻi he kuonga kuo tuʻutuʻuni te ne foki mai, pea haʻu ki he potu tonga; ka e ʻikai hangē ko e fuofua haʻu, pe ko ia kimui. 
Koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻae ngaahi vaka mei Kitimi: ko ia te ne mamahi ai, pea foki, pea ʻe lahi ʻene ʻita ki he fuakava māʻoniʻoni: ʻe pehē ʻa ʻene fai; ʻio, ʻe liu mai ia, pea toki alea mo kinautolu ʻoku siʻaki ʻae fuakava māʻoniʻoni 
Pea ʻe tuʻu ʻae mahafutau ʻo kau mo ia, pea te nau fakaʻuliʻi ʻae potu tapu ʻoe mālohi pea te nau ʻave ʻae feilaulau ʻaho, pea te nau fokotuʻu ʻae meʻa fakalielia ʻoku fakaʻulia. 
Pea te ne fakalotokoviʻi ʻi he lapu ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai kovi ki he fuakava, ka e mālohi ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻilo honau ʻOtua, pea te nau fai meʻa lahi. 
Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku poto ʻi he kakai, te nau akonekina ʻae tokolahi: ka te nau tō ʻi he heletā, mo e afi, mo e pōpula, mo e fakamālohi, ʻo ʻaho lahi. 
Pea ʻoka nau ka tō, ʻe tokoni ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae tokoni siʻi: ka e pikitai ʻae tokolahi kiate kinautolu ʻi he lapu. 
Pea ʻe tō ha niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku poto, koeʻuhi ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ke fakamaʻa, mo fakahinehina, ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ʻoe ngataʻanga: koeʻuhi ʻoku kei ai ʻae kuonga kuo tuʻutuʻuni. 
Pea ʻe fai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo fakatatau mo hono loto; pea te ne hakeakiʻi ʻe ia ia, mo fakahikihikiʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē, pea te ne lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakamanavahē ki he ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua, pea ʻe monūʻia ia, kaeʻoua ke kakato ʻae houhau: he ko ia kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻe fai pe ia. 
Pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tokanga ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pe ko e holi ki he fefine, pe tokanga ki ha ʻotua ʻe taha: he koeʻuhi te ne hakeakiʻi ia ke māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē. 
Ka e fakaʻapaʻapa ia ki he ʻotua ʻoe mālohi, pea ko e ʻotua naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe heʻene ngaahi tamai, te ne fakaʻapaʻapa ki ai ʻaki ʻae koula mo e siliva, pea mo e ngaahi maka koloa, mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fai ki ai ʻae manako. 
‌ʻE pehē pe ʻene fai ʻi he ngaahi potu mālohi, mo e ʻotua foʻou, ʻaia te ne fakahā mo fakanāunauʻia: pea te ne fai ke nau pule ki he tokolahi; pea te nau vahevahe ʻae fonua koeʻuhi ke maʻu koloa. 
¶ “Pea ʻi he kuonga ʻamui ʻe fakatuʻotuʻa ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga kiate ia: pea ʻe ʻoho kiate ia ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiohio, mo e ngaahi saliote, mo e kau tau heka hoosi, pea mo e ngaahi vaka lahi; pea te ne hū ki he ngaahi fonua, pea te ne mafola atu ai 
Te ne hū foki ki he fonua ʻoe monūʻia, pea ʻe lahi ʻae fonua kehekehe ʻe fulihi: ka e hao pe mei hono nima ʻae ngaahi fonua ni, ʻio, ʻa ʻItomi mo Moape, mo e tokolahi ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni. 
Te ne mafao atu hono nima foki ki he ngaahi fonua; pea ʻe ʻikai hao ʻae fonua ʻo ʻIsipite. 
Pea te ne pule ki he koloa, ʻoe koula, mo e siliva, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite: pea ko e kau Lipea mo e kau ʻItiopea, te nau muimui ʻiate ia. 
Ka te ne mamahi ʻia ʻi he ongoongo mei he potu hahake, pea mo e potu tokelau, ko ia te ne ʻalu atu ʻi he ʻita lahi, ke fakaʻauha mo fakaʻosiʻosingamālie ʻae tokolahi. 
Pea te ne fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo hono nofoʻanga ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ngaahi tahi ʻi he moʻunga tapu mo nāunauʻia; kae hoko pe ʻa hono ngataʻanga, pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe tokoni kiate ia.”
