Siosiua.
2.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua, ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ʻae ongo tangata mei Sitimi, kena fakaʻasiʻasi fakafufū pē, ʻo ne pehē, Mo ō ʻo vakai ʻae fonua, ʻio, ʻa Seliko. Pea naʻa na ō ʻo hoko ki he fale ʻo ha fefine angahala, naʻe hingoa ko Lehapi, pea na mohe ai. 
Pea naʻe tala ki he tuʻi ʻo Seliko, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, naʻe omi ʻae ongo tangata ki heni ʻi he poōni mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke matakiʻi ʻae fonua.” 
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Seliko kia Lehapi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOmi ʻae ongo tangata kuo haʻu kiate koe, ʻaia kuo hū ki ho fale: he kuo na haʻu ke matakiʻi ʻae fonua kotoa pē.” 
Ka naʻe ʻave ʻe he fefine ʻae ongo tangata, ʻo ne fufū ʻakinaua, ʻo ne tala ʻo pehē, “Naʻe omi ʻae ongo tangata kiate au, ka naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo pe kuo na haʻu mei fē: 
Pea ʻi he hokosia ʻae songo ʻoe matanikolo ʻi he poʻuli, naʻe ʻalu ʻae ongo tangata kituaʻā: pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloa pe ne na ō ki fē: mou tuli fakatoʻotoʻo ʻakinaua; he temou maʻu ʻakinaua. 
Ka kuo ʻosi ʻene ʻomi ʻakinaua ki he tuʻafale, ʻo ne fufū ʻakinaua ʻi he ngaahi kau ʻoe falakesi, ʻaia naʻa ne folahi lelei ki he tuʻafale.” 
Pea naʻe tuli ʻakinaua ʻe he kau tangata ʻi he hala ki Sioatani ʻo aʻu atu ki he ngaahi aʻaʻanga: pea ʻi he ʻalu leva kituaʻā ʻakinautolu naʻe tuli ʻakinaua, naʻa nau tāpuni leva ʻae matanikolo. 
¶ Pea ʻi he teʻeki ke takoto ʻakinaua, naʻa ne ʻalu hake kiate kinaua ʻi he tuʻafale; 
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he ongo tangata, “ʻOku ou ʻilo kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae fonua kiate kimoutolu, pea kuo tō homou lilika kiate kimautolu, pea kuo ilifia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu. 
He kuo mau fanongo ki he fakamōmoa ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe Tahi Kulokula maʻamoutolu, ʻi hoʻomou haʻu mei ʻIsipite; pea mo ia ne mou fai ki he ongo tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, ʻa Sihoni, mo Oki, ʻaia ne mou fakaʻauha ʻaupito. 
Pea ʻi heʻemau ongoʻi leva, naʻe vaivai homau loto, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito kei mālohi ha tangata koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu: he ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ia ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he langi, pea ʻi māmani ʻi lalo. 
Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoua, mo fuakava kiate au ʻia Sihova, ʻi heʻeku fakahā ʻae angaʻofa ni kiate kimoua, pea koeʻuhi ke mo fakahā ʻae angaʻofa ki he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai foki, pea tuku mai kiate au ha fakaʻilonga moʻoni: 
Koeʻuhi ke mou fakamoʻui ʻeku tamai, mo ʻeku faʻē, mo hoku ngaahi tuongaʻane mo hoku ngaahi tehina, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku nau maʻu, pea fakahaofi ʻemau moʻui mei he mate.” 
Pea naʻe tala kiate ia ʻe he ongo tangata, “Ko ʻema moʻui, ki hoʻomou moʻui, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakahā ʻema ngāue ni.” Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻI he tuku mai ʻe Sihova ʻae fonua kiate kimautolu, te mau fai angaʻofa mo angatonu kiate koe. 
Pea naʻa ne toki tukutuku hifo ʻakinaua mei he matapā sioʻata ʻaki ʻae afo: he naʻe tuʻu hono fale ʻi he funga ʻā ʻoe kolo, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ʻā. 
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Mo ō ʻo mole atu ki he moʻunga, telia naʻa mo fetaulaki mo e kau tuli; pea fufū ʻakimoua ʻi ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, kaeʻoua ke liu mai ʻae kau tuli: pea hili ia ʻe lelei hoʻomo ō ʻi homo hala.” 
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ongo tangata kiate ia, “ʻOku ma fie taʻehalaia ʻi hoʻo fuakava ni, ʻaia kuo ke fakafuakava ai mo kimaua. 
Vakai, ʻoka mau ka hoko ki he fonua, te ke nonoʻo ʻae potu afo kulokula ni ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he matapā, ʻaia naʻa ke tukutuku hifo ai ʻakimaua: pea ke ʻomi hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē, mo ho ngaahi tuongaʻane, mo e kāinga kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, ki ʻapi kiate koe. 
Pea ʻe pehē, ʻilonga ʻaia ʻe hū kituʻa ʻi he matapā ʻo ho fale ki he hala, ʻe ʻi hono ʻulu pē ʻa hono toto, pea ʻe taʻehala ʻakimaua: pea ʻilonga ʻaia ʻe ʻiate koe ʻi he fale, ʻe ʻi homa ʻulu hono toto, ʻo kapau ʻe ala ʻe ha nima kiate ia.” 
Pea kapau te ke fakahā ʻema ngāue ni, te ma toki ʻataʻatā ai mei he fuakava ʻaia kuo ke fefuakava ai mo kimaua.” 
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Hangē ko hoʻomo ngaahi lea, ke pehē pe ia.” Pea naʻa ne fekau ʻakinaua kena ō, pea na ō: pea ne noʻotaki ʻae afo kulokula ʻi he matapā. 
Pea naʻa na ō, pea hoko ki he moʻunga, ʻo na nofo ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, kaeʻoua liu mai ʻae kau tuli: pea naʻe kumi ʻakinaua ʻe he kau tuli ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoe hala, ka naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo ʻakinaua. 
¶ Ko ia naʻe liu mai ʻae ongo tangata ʻo ʻalu hifo mei he moʻunga, ʻo na ō ki he kauvai ʻe taha, ʻo hoko kia Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ʻo fakahā kiate ia ʻaia kotoa pē kuo hoko kiate kinaua: 
Pea naʻa na pehē kia Siosiua, “Ko e moʻoni kuo tukuange ʻe Sihova ʻae fonua kotoa pē ki hotau nima; he ʻoku vaivai ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua koeʻuhi ko kitautolu.”
