Pea koe ongo palōfita, ko Hakeai ko e palōfita, mo Sakalia ko e foha ʻo Ito, naʻa na lea ki he kakai Siu naʻe ʻi Siuta mo Selūsalema ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻio, kiate kinautolu. 
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli, mo Sesua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, pea kamata langa ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema; pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau palōfita ʻoe ʻOtua ke tokoniʻi ʻakinautolu. 
¶ Pea naʻe haʻu kiate kinautolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻa Tatinei, ko e pule ʻi he potu kauvai ni ʻoe vaitafe, mo Sita-Posinei, mo hona ngaahi kaumeʻa, ʻonau lea pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai kuo ne fekau ʻakimoutolu ke langa ʻae fale ni, pea ke fakamaʻopoʻopo ʻae ʻā maka ni?” 
Pea naʻa mau tala kiate kinautolu ʻo pehē ni, “Ko e hā ʻae hingoa ʻae kau tangata, ʻoku fai ʻae langa fale ni? 
Ka ko e fofonga ʻo honau ʻOtua naʻe ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻoe kakai Siu, ko ia naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai ke taʻofi, kaeʻoua ke hoko atu ia kia Talaiasi: pea naʻa nau toki ʻave hono tali tohi ki he meʻa ni. 
¶ “Ko hono hiki eni ʻoe tohi ʻaia naʻe fai mo ʻatu kia Talaiasi ko e tuʻi, ʻe Tatinei ko e pule ʻi he potu kauvai ni ʻoe vaitafe, mo Sita-Posinei, mo hono kaumeʻa ko e kau ʻAfasatikai, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he potu kauvai ni ʻoe vaitafe. 
“Naʻa nau ʻave ʻae tohi kiate ia, ʻaia naʻe tohi ʻi ai ʻo pehē; Ke ʻia Talaiasi ko e tuʻi ʻae fiemālie lahi. 
“Ke ʻilo ʻe he tuʻi, naʻa mau ʻalu ki he fonua ko Siuta, ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua lahi, ʻaia ʻoku langa ʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi, pea kuo ʻai ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻi he ngaahi ʻā maka, pea ʻoku fai fakavave ʻae ngāue ni, pea ʻoku monūʻia ia ʻi honau nima. 
“Pea naʻa mau fehuʻi ai ki he kau mātuʻa ko ia, ʻo mau pehē kiate kinautolu, Ko hai naʻa ne fekau kiate kimoutolu ke langa ʻae fale ni, pea ke fakamaʻopoʻopo ʻae ngaahi ʻā maka ni? 
Pea naʻa mau fehuʻi ki honau hingoa foki, koeʻuhi ke fakapapau kiate koe, pea ke mau tohi ʻae hingoa ʻoe kau tangata ʻoku tuʻukimuʻa ʻiate kinautolu. 
Pea naʻa nau tali mai, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimautolu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe langi mo māmani, pea ʻoku mau langa ʻae fale ʻaia naʻe langa ʻi he taʻu lahi kuo hili, ʻaia naʻe langa ʻe he tuʻi lahi ʻo ʻIsileli pea fokotuʻu. 
Kae hili ʻae fakatupu ʻe heʻemau ngaahi tamai ʻae houhau lahi ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe langi, naʻa ne tuku ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ko e tangata Kalitia, ʻaia naʻa ne maumauʻi ʻae fale ni, pea ne fetuku ʻae kakai ki he mamaʻo ki Papilone. 
Ka ʻi he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ko e tuʻi ko ia ko Kolesi naʻa ne fai ʻae fono ke langa ʻae fale ni ʻoe ʻOtua. 
Pea ko e ngaahi ipu koula foki mo e siliva ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻe Nepukanesa mei he faletapu ʻaia naʻe ʻi Selūsalema, pea ʻomi ki he faletapu ʻo Papilone, naʻe toʻo ia ʻe Kolesi ko e tuʻi mei he faletapu ʻo Papilone, pea naʻe tuku ia ki he nima ʻoe tokotaha ko hono hingoa ko Sesipasa, ʻaia naʻa ne fakanofo ko e pule. 
‌ʻO ne pehē kiate ia, Toʻo ʻae ngaahi nāunau ni, pea ʻalu, ʻo fetuku ia ki he faletapu ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema, pea tuku ke langa ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi hono potu. 
Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae Sesipasa ko ia, pea ne ʻai hono tuʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema: pea talu ʻae kuonga ko ia ʻo fai mai kuo langa ia, ka ʻoku teʻeki ai ʻosi ia.’ 
“Pea ko eni, kapau ʻoku matalelei ki he tuʻi, tuku ke kumi ʻi he fale koloa ʻoe tuʻi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Papilone, pe kuo pehē pe, pe ʻikai, pe naʻe fai ha fono ʻo Kolesi ke langa ʻae fale ni ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi Selūsalema, pea ke fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻaia ʻoku lelei hono loto ki ai ʻi he meʻa ni.”
