6.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Solomone, “Kuo pehē ʻe Sihova te ne nofo ʻi he fakapoʻuli matolu. 
Ka kuo u langa hake ha fale nofoʻanga moʻou, pea mo ha potu ke ke ʻafio ai ʻo taʻengata.” 
Pea naʻe tafoki ʻe he tuʻi ʻa hono fofonga, pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻae fakataha kātoa ʻo ʻIsileli: pea naʻe tutuʻu ki ʻolunga ʻae fakataha kātoa ʻo ʻIsileli. 
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ne fakamoʻoni ʻaki ʻa hono nima ʻae folofola naʻe fai mei hono fofonga kia Tevita, ko ʻeku tamai, ʻo pehē, 
‘Talu mei he ʻaho naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻa hoku kakai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite naʻe ʻikai te u fili ha kolo ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli ke langa ai ha fale, koeʻuhi ke tuku ʻi ai ʻa hoku huafa: pea naʻe ʻikai te u fili ha tangata ke ne pule ki hoku kakai ʻIsileli: 
Ka kuo u fili ʻa Selūsalema, koeʻuhi ke ʻi ai ʻa hoku huafa: pea kuo u fili ʻa Tevita ke ne pule ki hoku kakai ʻIsileli.’ 
Pea ko eni, naʻe ʻi he loto ʻo Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ke langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli. 
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, ‘Koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻi ho loto ia ke ke langa ha fale ki hoku huafa, naʻa ke fai lelei ke ʻi ho loto ia:’ 
Ka neongo ia ʻe ʻikai te ke langa ʻae fale: ka ko ho foha ʻe tupu mei ho fatu, ko ia ia te ne langa ʻae fale ki hoku huafa. 
Ko ia kuo fakamoʻoni ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene folofola ʻaia naʻa ne folofola ʻaki: he kuo u tuʻu hake au ke fetongi ʻa Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, pea kuo u nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko e talaʻofa ʻa Sihova, pea kuo u langa ʻae fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli. 
Pea kuo u ʻai ki ai ʻae puha, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae fuakava ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fai mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.” 
¶ Pea naʻa ne tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne mafao atu ʻa hono nima: 
He kuo ngaohi ʻe Solomone ha tuʻuʻanga palasa, ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ʻa hono lōloa, mo e hanga ʻe hongofulu hono māukupu, pea ko e hanga ʻe ono ʻa hono māʻolunga, pea kuo fokotuʻu ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe lotoʻā: pea naʻa ne tuʻu ki ai, pea naʻa ne tūʻulutui ki hono tui ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha kātoa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne mafao atu ʻa hono nima ki he langi, 
Mo ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻOtua ke tatau mo koe ʻi he langi, pe ʻi he māmani: ʻa koe ʻoku tauhi ʻae fuakava, mo ke ʻaloʻofa ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi ho ʻao ʻi he loto haohaoa: 
‌ʻA koe kuo ke fai moʻoni mo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ʻae meʻa naʻa ke talaʻofa ai kiate ia: pea kuo ke folofola mei ho fofonga, pea kuo ke fakamoʻoni ki ai ʻaki ho nima, ʻo hangē ko ia he ʻaho ni. 
Pea ko eni, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ke ke fai mo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ʻaia naʻa ke talaʻofa ʻaki kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te ke masiva ha tangata ʻi hoku ʻao ke nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli: ʻo kapau ʻe tokanga ʻe hoʻo fānau ki honau ʻaluʻanga ke ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku fono, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoku ʻao. 
Pea ko eni, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, tuku ke fakamoʻoni ʻa hoʻo folofola, ʻaia kuo ke folofolaʻaki ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita. 
Ka ʻe nofo moʻoni koā ʻae ʻOtua mo e tangata ʻi he māmani? Vakai, ʻoku ʻikai te ke faʻa hao koe ʻi he langi, mo e langi ʻoe ngaahi langi: kae huanoa eni ʻae fale ʻaia kuo u langa! 
Ko ia ke ke ʻafio lelei ki he lotu ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea ki heʻene kole tāumaʻu, ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ke fakaongo ki he tangi mo e lotu ʻaia ʻoku lotu ʻaki ʻi ho ʻao ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: 
Koeʻuhi ke ʻa ho fofonga ki he fale ni ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, ki he potu ko ia naʻa ke pehē ai te ke tuku ʻi ai ho huafa: ke fakaongo ki he lotu ʻaia ʻoku lotu ʻaki ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi he potu ni. 
Ko ia ke ke ongoʻi ʻae ngaahi kole ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ʻaia te nau lotu ʻaki ʻi he potu ni: fanongo ʻe koe mei ho ʻafioʻanga, mei he langi: pea ʻoka ke ka ongoʻi, fakamolemole. 
¶ “Kapau ʻe fai ha kovi ʻe ha tangata ki hono kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoku ne fai ke ne fuakava, pea ʻoku ʻomi ʻae fuakava ki he ʻao ʻo hoʻo feilaulauʻanga ʻi he fale ni: 
Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe mei he langi, pea ke ngāue, mo fakamaauʻi ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻi he totongi ki he angakovi, ke ʻomi ki hono ʻulu ʻoʻona ʻa hono nunuʻa: pea ʻi he fakatonuhiaʻi ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he ʻatu kiate ia ʻo tatau mo ʻene angatonu. 
¶ “Kapau ʻe teʻia hifo ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fai ha kovi kiate koe, ka kuo nau toe tafoki mai kiate koe, pea nau tāpafua ʻa ho huafa, mo hū, pea fai fakakolekole kiate koe ʻi he fale ni: 
Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe mei he langi, pea fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, pea ke toe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua ʻaia naʻa ke foaki kiate kinautolu mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai. 
¶ “ʻOka tāpuni ʻae langi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻuha ʻe tō, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fai angahala kiate koe: pea kapau te nau lotu ʻi he potu ni, pea tāpafua ʻa ho huafa, pea nau liliu mei heʻenau angahala, ʻoka ke ka fakamamahi ʻakinautolu: 
Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe mei he langi, pea fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ke akoʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala lelei ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke nau ʻalu ai, pea ke foaki ʻae ʻuha ki ho fonua ʻaia kuo ke foaki ki hoʻo kakai ko honau tofiʻa. 
¶ “Kapau ʻe ai ha honge ʻi he fonua, pe ha mahaki fakaʻauha, pe ko e huhunu lahi ʻoe ngoue, pe ko e fakapopo, pe ko e heʻe maumau, pe ko e ʻunufe: kapau ʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate kinautolu ʻa honau ngaahi fili ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi veʻekolo: pe ko e hā ʻae fakaʻauha pe ko e mahaki ʻe ʻi ai; 
‌ʻIlonga ʻae lotu mo e kole ʻe fai ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha, pe ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi heʻene ʻilo taki taha ʻe he tangata ʻae kovi ʻo hono loto ʻoʻona mo ʻene mamahi, pea ne mafao mai ʻa hono nima ki he fale ni: 
Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe mei he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga, pea fakamolemole, pea ke foaki ki he tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene anga, ʻo ia ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi ʻa hono loto: (he ko koe pe tokotaha, ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻae loto ʻoe fānau kotoa pē ʻae tangata:) 
Koeʻuhi ke nau manavahē kiate koe ke ʻeveʻeva ʻi ho ngaahi hala ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē te nau moʻui ai ʻi he fonua ʻaia kuo ke foaki ki he ʻemau ngaahi tamai. 
¶ “Pea koeʻuhi foki ko e muli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ka kuo haʻu mei ha fonua mamaʻo koeʻuhi ko ho huafa lahi ʻoʻou, pea mo ho nima mālohi, pea mo ho nima kuo mafao atu: ʻoka haʻu ʻakinautolu ke lotu ʻi he fale ni: 
Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe mei he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga, pea ke fai ʻo fakatatau mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku kole ai ʻe he muli kiate koe: koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani ki ho huafa, ʻo manavahē kiate koe, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli: pea koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻoku ui ʻaki ʻa ho huafa ʻae fale ni ʻaia kuo u langa. 
¶ “Kapau ʻe ʻalu ʻa hoʻo kakai kituaʻā ke tauʻi ʻa honau ngaahi fili, ʻi he hala ko ia te ke fekau atu ʻakinautolu ki ai, pea nau lotu kia Sihova ʻo hanga ki he kolo ni ʻaia kuo ke fili, pea ki he fale ʻaia kuo u langa ki ho huafa: 
Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe mei he langi ki heʻenau lotu mo ʻenau kole, pea ke tokonia ʻakinautolu ʻi he meʻa totonu. 
Kapau te nau angahala kiate koe, (he ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku taʻehaangahala,) pea te ke houhau kiate kinautolu, mo ke tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he fili, pea nau fetuku ʻakinautolu ko e kau pōpula ki he fonua ʻoe fili, pe ko e mamaʻo pe ko e ofi 
Pea kapau te nau toe fakatokangaʻi honau loto ʻi he fonua ko ia kuo ʻave pōpula ki ai ʻakinautolu, mo nau fakatomala, mo fakakolekole kiate koe mei he fonua ʻo ʻenau pōpula, ʻonau pehē, Kuo mau angahala, pea kuo mau fai talangataʻa, kuo mau fai ʻae kovi: 
Pea kapau te nau tafoki mai kiate koe ʻaki ʻa honau loto kātoa, pea mo honau laumālie kotoa, ʻi he fonua ʻo honau pōpula, ʻaia naʻe ʻave pōpula ʻakinautolu ki ai, pea nau lotu kiate koe ʻo hanga ki honau fonua, ʻaia naʻa ke foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻae kolo ko ia kuo ke fili, pea mo e fale ʻaia kuo u langa ki ho huafa: 
Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe mei he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga ki heʻenau lotu mo ʻenau kole, pea ke tokonia ʻakinautolu ʻi he meʻa totonu, pea ke fakamolemole ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻaia kuo angahala kiate koe. 
Ko eni, ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ʻafio ʻa ho fofonga, pea tokanga ho telinga ki he lotu ʻi he potu ni. 
Ko ia foki, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, tuʻu hake ki ho mālōlōʻanga, ʻa koe, mo e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo hoʻo mālohi: ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, tuku ʻa hoʻo kau taulaʻeiki ke kofuʻaki ʻae fakamoʻui, pea tuku ke fiefia ʻa hoʻo kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻi he angalelei. 
‌ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa fakatafoki atu ʻae mata ʻo ia kuo ke pani ʻaki ʻae lolo: manatuʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ʻo Tevita ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.”
