Pea hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he matapā, ʻae matapā ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki he potu hahake: 
Pea vakai, naʻe malama mai ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli mei he hala mei he potu hahake: pea naʻe tatau hono leʻo mo e ʻuʻulu ʻae ngaahi vai lahi: pea naʻe ulo ʻa māmani ko e meʻa ʻi hono nāunau. 
Pea naʻe tatau ʻa ʻene hā mai mo e meʻa hā mai naʻaku mamata ki ai, ʻio, ʻo tatau mo e meʻa hā mai naʻaku mamata ai ʻi heʻeku haʻu ke kikite ki he fakaʻauha ʻoe kolo: pea naʻe tatau hono ngaahi meʻa naʻe hā mai, mo ia naʻaku mamata ki ai ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ko Kipa; pea ne u tō hifo ki hoku mata. 
Pea naʻe hāʻele mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻo hū ki he fale ʻi he hala ʻoe matapā ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki he potu hahake. 
Ko ia naʻe hiki hake ai au ʻe he laumālie, ʻo ne ʻave au ki he lotoʻā ki loto; pea vakai, naʻe fakapito ʻaki ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻae fale kotoa. 
Pea naʻaku fanongo ki heʻene folofola mai mei loto fale; pea naʻa ma tutuʻu mo e tangata. 
¶ Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ko e potu ʻo hoku ʻafioʻanga, mo e potu ki hoku ʻaofivaʻe, ʻaia te u nofo ai ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo taʻengata, pea mo hoku huafa māʻoniʻoni, ʻe ʻikai toe fakaʻuli ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu, pe ko honau ngaahi tuʻi, ʻi heʻenau fai feʻauaki, pe ko e ʻangaʻanga ʻo honau ngaahi tuʻi ʻi honau ngaahi potu māʻolunga. 
He ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fokotuʻu ʻenau matapā ki heʻeku matapā, mo ʻenau ngaahi pou ki heʻeku ngaahi pou, pea mo e ʻā ʻi homau vahaʻa mo kinautolu, pea kuo nau fakalieliaʻi ʻa hoku huafa māʻoniʻoni ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakalielia kuo fai: ko ia naʻaku fakaʻauha ai ʻakinautolu ʻi he houhau. 
Ka ko eni, ka tuku atu ʻekinautolu ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakalielia, mo e ʻangaʻanga ʻo honau ngaahi tuʻi, ke mamaʻo meiate au, pea te u toki nofo au ʻi honau lotolotonga ʻo taʻengata.” 
¶ “ʻA koe foha ʻoe tangata, fakahā ʻae fale ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke nau mā ki heʻenau ngaahi kovi: pea tuku ke nau fua ʻae fakatātā. 
Pea kapau te nau mā ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo nau fai, fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻa hono anga ʻoe fale, mo hono fakafuofua, ʻa hono ngaahi hala kituʻa mo hono ngaahi hala ki loto, mo hono anga kotoa pē, mo hono tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē, pea mo hono ngaahi fono kotoa pē: pea ke tohi ia ʻi honau ʻao, koeʻuhi ke nau fai ki hono anga kotoa pē, pea mo hono tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē, mo nau fai ki ai. 
Ko eni ʻae fono ʻoku kau ki he fale; ʻilonga ʻa hono ngataʻanga takatakai hake ʻoe tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga, ʻe toputapu ʻaupito ia. Vakai ko e fono eni ki he fale.” 
¶ Pea ko hono fakafuofua eni ʻoe ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻo lau ki hono kiupite: pea ko e kiupite, ko e kiupite ʻoku taha pea mo e ʻaofinima kātoa ʻe taha; ko hono takele ko e kiupite ʻe taha, pea ko hono laulahi ko e kiupite ʻe taha, pea ko hono tapa fakatali ʻaia ʻe takatakai ʻaki ko e hanga ʻe taha ia; pea ko e meʻa ia ki hono potu ki ʻolunga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga. 
Pea ko hono fua mei he funga kelekele ʻo hoko hake ki hono ʻuluaki hala fakatakamilo, ko e kiupite ia ʻe ua, pea ko hono laulahi ko e kiupite ʻe taha; pea mei he hala siʻi ʻo aʻu ki he hala lahi ko e kiupite ia ʻe fā, pea ko e kiupite ʻe taha ʻa hono laulahi. 
Pea ko e funga feilaulauʻanga ko e kiupite ia ʻe fā; pea ʻe ʻalu hake mei he feilaulauʻanga ʻae nifo ʻe fā. 
Pea ko hono lōloa ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu ma ua, mo e hongofulu ma ua ʻa hono laulahi, koeʻuhi ke potupotu mālie hono potu ʻe fā. 
Pea ko hono hala takatakai ko hono lōloa ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu ma fā, pea ko hono laulahi ʻi hono potu ʻe fā, ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu ma fā; pea ko e tapa fakatali ʻe takatakai ai ko e vaeuamālie ʻoe kiupite; pea ko hono potu ki lalo ko e kiupite ʻe taha, ʻo takatakai hake; pea ʻe hangatonu hono hala tuʻunga ki he potu hahake. 
¶ Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Ko eni ia ʻa hono tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe ngaohi ai ia, ke ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae feilaulau tutu, pea ke luluku ʻaki ia ʻae toto. 
Pea ko e kau taulaʻeiki ʻae kau Livai, ʻoku ʻoe hako ʻo Satoki, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻunuʻunu mai ke ngāue kiate au, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, te ke ʻatu ki ai ʻae pulu mui ko e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala. 
Pea te ke toʻo ʻa hono toto ʻoʻona, ʻo pani ʻaki ia ʻa hono nifo ʻe fā, mo e tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe hala takatakai, pea mo e tapa fakatali ʻoku takatakai ʻaki ia: ʻe pehē ʻa hono fakamaʻa mo hono fufulu. 
Te ke toʻo foki ʻae pulu ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ʻi he angahala, pea te ne tutu ia ʻi he potu fale ʻoku tuku ki ai ʻi he tuʻa potu toputapu. 
Pea ʻi hono ʻaho ua te ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ʻuhikiʻi kosi taʻehanomele, ko e feilaulau ia ʻi he angahala; pea te nau fufulu ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻi he ʻatu ʻae pulu. 
Pea ka hili ʻa hoʻo fakamaʻa ia, te ke ʻatu ha pulu mui ʻoku taʻehanomele, mo e sipitangata mei he fanga sipi ʻoku taʻehanomele. 
Pea te mou ʻatu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻe lī ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ha māsima ki ai, pea te nau ʻohake ia kia Sihova, ko e feilaulau tutu kiate ia. 
Pea ko e ʻaho ʻe fitu mo hoʻo teuteu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ha kosi, ko e feilaulau ʻi he angahala: pea te nau teuteu foki ha pulu mui, mo e sipitangata mei he fanga sipi, ʻoku taʻehanomele. 
Ko e ʻaho ʻe fitu te nau fufulu ai ʻae feilaulauʻanga mo fakamaʻa ia; pea te nau fakatapui ʻakinautolu. 
Pea ka ʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hono ʻaho valu ʻo fai ki mui, ʻe ʻatu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei ʻi he feilaulauʻanga; pea te u maʻu ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
