Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe haʻu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalame ʻi he meʻa hā mai ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē ʻEpalame: ko ho ungaʻanga au, mo ho totongi lahi ʻaupito.” 
Pea pehēange ʻe ʻEpalame, “E Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko e hā te ke foaki kiate au, he ʻoku ou masiva fānau, pea ko e tauhi ʻo hoku ʻapi, ko e ʻEliesa ni ʻo Tamasikusi?” 
Pea pehē ʻe ʻEpalame, “Vakai, naʻe ʻikai te ke foaki kiate au ha hako; pea vakai, ko e taha naʻe fānau ʻi hoku fale, ko hoku hoko ia.” 
Pea ʻiloange, naʻe folofola mai ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ko ho hoko ia: ka ko ia ʻe tupu mei ho fatu ʻoʻou ko ho hoko ia.” 
Pea ne taki atu ia kituaʻā, ʻo ne pehē, “Hanga hake ni ki he langi, ʻo lau ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu, ʻo kapau te ke faʻa lau ia; pea ne pehē kiate ia, E tatau mo ia ho hako.” 
Pea naʻe tui ia kia Sihova; pea naʻe lau ia kiate ia, ko e māʻoniʻoni. 
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko au ko Sihova, naʻaku ʻomi koe mei Ua, ʻi Kalitia, ke foaki kiate koe ʻae fonua ni, ke ke maʻu moʻou.” 
Pea ne pehē ʻe ia, “E Sihova ko e ʻOtua, te u ʻilo ʻi he ha te u maʻu ia? 
Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Toʻo mai maʻaku ʻae pulu fefine mui ʻoku tolu taʻu hono motuʻa, mo e kosi fefine ʻoku tolu taʻu hono motuʻa, mo e sipitangata ʻoku tolu taʻu hono motuʻa, mo e kulukulu mo e lupe mui.” 
Pea ne toʻo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē, ʻo ne fahiua ʻakinautolu, ʻo tuku fakaholo ʻae ngaahi konga kotoa pē, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne fahiʻi ʻae fanga manupuna. 
Pea ʻi he lolofa mai ʻae fanga manupuna ki he ngaahi ʻangaʻanga, naʻe fakahēhē ia ʻe ʻEpalame. 
Pea ʻi he kamata tō ʻae laʻā, naʻe hoko ʻae mohe maʻu kia ʻEpalame: pea vakai naʻe tō kiate ia ʻae fuʻu manavahē ʻoe fakapoʻuli lahi. 
Pea naʻe pehē kia ʻEpalame, “Ke ke ʻilo pau eni, ʻe nofo ʻāunofo ho hako ʻi ha fonua ʻoku ʻikai ʻonautolu, pea te nau tauhi ʻakinautolu; pea te nau fakamamahi ʻakinautolu ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngeau. 
Pea ko e puleʻanga ko ia te nau ngāue ki ai, te u fakamaauʻi foki: pea hili ia te nau haʻu mei ai mo e koloa lahi. 
Pea te ke ʻalu koe ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai ʻi he fiemālie: ʻe pekia koe ʻoka ke ka motuʻa lelei. 
Pea ʻi hono fā ʻoe toʻutangata te nau toe haʻu ki heni; he ʻoku teʻeki ai fonu ʻae angahala ʻae kakai ʻAmoli.” 
Pea ʻi he tō ʻae laʻā pea poʻuli, vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae afi kakaha kuo kohu, mo e maama ulo naʻe ʻalu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ngaahi konga manu. 
‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻae fuakava mo ʻEpalame, ʻo pehē, “Kuo u tuku ki ho hako ʻae fonua ni, mei he vaitafe ʻo ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe lahi, ʻaia ko e ʻIufaletesi. 
Ko e kakai Kena, mo e kakai Kenisai mo e kakai Katimona. 
Mo e kakai Heti, mo e kakai Pelisi, mo e kakai Lifeime, 
Mo e kakai ʻAmoli, mo e kakai Kēnani, mo e kakai Kilikesa, mo e kakai Sepusi.”
