Pea naʻe toki haʻu kiate au ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻonau nofo mai ʻi hoku ʻao. 
Pea naʻe hoko mai kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē, 
“Foha ʻoe tangata, kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he kau tangata ni honau ngaahi tamapua ʻi honau loto, pea ʻai mo e tūkiaʻanga ʻo ʻenau hia ʻi honau ʻao: ʻoku ngali koā ke fakafehuʻi ha meʻa kiate au ʻekinautolu?” 
Ko ia ke ke lea kiate kinautolu, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia ʻoku fokotuʻu tamapua ʻi hono loto, mo ne ʻai ʻae tūkiaʻanga ʻo ʻene hia ʻi hono ʻao, pea ʻoku haʻu ki he palōfita, Ko au ko Sihova, te u tali ia, ʻo fakatatau mo e tokolahi ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamapua; 
Koeʻuhi ke u moʻua ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi honau loto ʻonautolu pe, koeʻuhi kuo nau mavahe kotoa pē meiate au, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ngaahi tamapua. 
¶ “Ko ia ke ke lea ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Fakatomala pea tafoki mei hoʻomou ngaahi tamapua; pea tafoki homou mata mei hoʻomou ngaahi fakalielia kotoa pē. 
He ko ia kotoa pē ʻi he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pe ko e muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻaia ʻoku mavahe ʻe ia ia meiate au, ʻo ne fokotuʻu ʻene ngaahi tamapua ʻi hono loto, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae tūkiaʻanga ʻo ʻene hia ʻi hono ʻao, pea ʻoku haʻu ki he palōfita ke fakafehuʻi kiate ia koeʻuhi ko au; Ko au ko Sihova te u tali ia ʻeau pe. 
Pea te u fakahangatonu hoku mata ki he tangata ko ia, pea te u ngaohi ia ko e fakaʻilonga mo e lea fakatātā, pea te u motuhi ia mei he lotolotonga ʻo hoku kakai; pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au. 
Pea kapau ʻe kākaaʻi ʻae palōfita ʻoka lea ʻaki ʻe ia ha meʻa, ko au ia ko Sihova ʻoku fakahalaia ia, pea te u mafao atu kiate ia ʻa hoku nima, pea fakaʻauha ia mei he lotolotonga ʻo hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, 
Pea te nau fua ʻae tautea ʻo ʻenau angahala: ʻe tatau pe ʻae tautea ʻoe palōfita mo e tautea ʻo ia ʻoku kumi kiate ia; 
Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe ʻalu pehē ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli meiate au, pea ʻoua naʻa toe fakalielia ia ʻi heʻenau ngaahi angahala; ka nau hoko ko hoku kakai, pea u hoko au ko honau ʻOtua:” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua. 
¶ Naʻe toe hoko kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē, 
“Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoka angahala ʻae fonua kiate au ʻi heʻene fai kovi lahi, te u toki mafao atu ai hoku nima, pea ʻe maumau ʻae falalaʻanga ʻoe mā ʻoku ʻi ai, pea te u tuku ia ke hongea, pea motuhi mei ai ʻae tangata mo e manu: 
Ka ne ʻi ai ʻae kau tangata ni ʻe toko tolu, ʻa Noa, mo Taniela, mo Siope, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻe fakamoʻui honau laumālie pe ʻonautolu ʻi heʻenau māʻoniʻoni. 
¶ “Kapau te u tuku ʻae fanga manu fekai ke ʻalu fano ʻi he fonua, pea nau maumauʻi ia, koeʻuhi ke hoko ia ʻo lala, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ʻi ai ha tangata telia ʻae ngaahi manu fekai: 
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ka ne ʻi ai ʻae kau tangata ko ia ʻe toko tolu, ʻo hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, ʻe ʻikai te nau fakamoʻui honau foha pe ha ʻofefine; ngata pe ʻiate kinautolu ʻe fakamoʻui, ka ʻe ʻauha ʻae fonua. 
¶ “Pea kapau te u ʻomi ʻae heletā ke hoko ki he fonua, pea u pehē, Heletā ʻasi atu ki he fonua; kau motuhi mei ai ʻae tangata pea mo e manu: 
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ka ne ʻi ai ʻae kau tangata ko ia ʻe toko tolu, ʻe ʻikai te nau fakamoʻui ha foha pe ha ʻofefine, ka ko kinautolu pe ʻe moʻui ʻiate kinautolu. 
¶ “Pea kapau te u tuku ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha ki he fonua, pea u lilingi hoku houhau ki ai ʻi he toto, ke motuhi mei ai ʻae tangata pea mo e manu: 
Neongo ʻoku hā ai ʻa Noa, mo Taniela, mo Siope, hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻe ʻikai te nau fakamoʻui ha foha pe ha ʻofefine; ngata ʻi honau laumālie pe ʻonautolu ʻe hao ʻi heʻenau māʻoniʻoni.” 
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Kae fēfē nai ʻo kau ka tuku atu fakataha ʻae fakamalaʻia ʻe fā ki Selūsalema, ʻae heletā, mo e honge, mo e fanga manu fekai, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha, ke motuhi mei ai ʻae tangata mo e manu? 
¶ “Kae vakai, ʻe fakatoe ha niʻihi ʻi ai ke fakahaofi, ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine: vakai te nau ʻomi kituʻa kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou mamata ki honau hala mo ʻenau faianga; pea te mou fiemālie mei he kovi ʻaia kuo u ʻomi ki Selūsalema, ʻio, ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo u fakahoko ki ai. 
Pea te nau fakafiemālieʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻoka mou ka mamata ki honau hala mo ʻenau faianga: pea te mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai te u fai noa pe ha meʻa ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia kuo u fai ki ai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
