44.
Hili ia naʻa ne toe ʻomi au ki mui ʻi he hala ʻoe matapā ʻoe potu tapu kituʻa, ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki hahake; pea naʻe tāpuni ia. 
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova kiate au; “ʻE tāpuni ʻae matapā ni, pea ʻe ʻikai fakaava ia, pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe hū atu ki ai; he koeʻuhi kuo hāʻele atu ai ʻa Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ko ia ʻe tāpuni ai ia. 
Kuo tuku ia ki he tuʻi; ʻe nofo ʻi ai ʻae tuʻi ke kai mā ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ko ia ia ʻe hū atu ʻi he hala ʻoe fale hala ʻi he matapā ko ia, pea te ne toe ʻalu atu ai pe kituʻa.” 
¶ Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he hala ʻi he matapā ki tokelau ʻi he mata fale: pea naʻaku sio, pea vakai, naʻe fakapito ʻaki ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova; pea naʻaku tō hifo ki hoku mata. 
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, tokanga lahi ho loto, pea sio ʻaki ho mata, pea fanongo ho telinga ki he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate koe ʻi he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻoku kau ki he fale ʻo Sihova, mo hono ngaahi fekau; pea ke tokanga lahi ki he ngaahi hūʻanga ki loto fale, mo hono ngaahi hala kotoa pē kituʻa, mei he potu toputapu.” 
Pea te ke lea ki he kau angatuʻu, ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, tuku ke lahi eni ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi fakalielia, 
He kuo mou ʻomi ʻae kakai muli, ʻae kau taʻekamu ʻi loto, pea taʻekamu fakakakano ke nau ʻi hoku potu toputapu ke nau fakalieliaʻi ia, ʻio, ʻa hoku fale, ʻi hoʻomou ʻatu ʻa ʻeku meʻa, ʻae ngako, pea mo e toto, pea kuo nau maumauʻi ʻa ʻeku fuakava, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakalielia. 
Pea kuo ʻikai te mou tauhi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni; ka kuo mou fakanofo ʻae kau leʻo maʻamoutolu pe, ke tauhiʻi ʻa hoku potu toputapu. 
¶ ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “ʻE ʻikai ha taha muli, pe ha taʻekamu ʻi loto, pe ha taʻekamu fakakakano, ʻe hū ki hoku potu toputapu, pe ha taha ʻi he kau muli kotoa pē ʻoku nofo mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.” 
Pea ko e kau Livai naʻe ʻalu ʻo hē mamaʻo meiate au, ʻi heʻene ʻalu hēhē ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu hē meiate au, ko e muimui ki honau ngaahi tamapua; te nau fua pe ʻekinautolu ʻa ʻenau fai angahala. 
Ka neongo ia te nau tauhi ʻa hoku fale tapu, mo leʻohi ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe fale, mo fai ʻae ngāue ʻi loto fale: te nau tāmateʻi ʻae feilaulau tutu, mo e feilaulau ʻae kakai, pea te nau tutuʻu ʻi honau ʻao, mo ngāue kiate kinautolu. 
Koeʻuhi naʻa nau ngāue kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi tamapua, mo nau fakahalaʻi ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli; ko ia kuo u hiki hake ai ʻa hoku nima kiate kinautolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, pea te nau fua ʻenau angahala. 
Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau haʻu ke ofi kiate au, ke fai ha ngāue fakataulaʻeiki kiate au, pe te nau ofi mai ki heʻeku ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he potu toputapu ʻaupito: ka te nau fua pe ʻenau mā, pea mo e ngaahi fakalielia ʻaia kuo nau fai. 
Ka te u tuku ʻakinautolu ke tauhi ki he nāunau ʻoe fale, ʻi hono ngāue ʻo ia, mo ia kotoa pē ʻe fai ʻi ai. 
¶ “Ka ko e kau taulaʻeiki ʻae kau Livai, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Satoki, ʻakinautolu naʻe tauhi ki hoku fale tapu, ʻi heʻene ʻalu pehē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli meiate au, ko kinautolu ia ʻe ʻomi ke ofi kiate au, ke nau tauhi kiate au, pea te nau tutuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao, ke feilaulau ʻaki kiate au, ʻae ngako mo e toto, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: 
Te nau hū atu ki hoku potu tapu, pea te nau ʻunuʻunu mai ke ofi ki heʻeku keinangaʻanga, ke fai ngāue kiate au, pea te nau tauhi ʻa ʻeku fekau. 
Pea ʻe hoko ia ʻo pehē, ʻoka nau ka hū atu ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻoe lotoʻā ki loto, te nau kofuʻaki ʻae kofu tupenu lelei; ʻe ʻikai siʻi kau ha kofu sipi ki heʻenau kofu, ʻoka nau ka fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻoe lotoʻā ki loto, pe ʻi loto. 
Te nau tatā ʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei ki honau ʻulu, pea te nau kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei ki honau kongaloto; ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻai kiate kinautolu ha meʻa ʻoku fakatupu pupuha. 
Pea ka nau ka ʻalu atu ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, ʻio, ki he lotoʻā kituʻa ki he kakai, te nau toʻo honau ngaahi kofu naʻa nau ngāue ai, mo tuku ia ʻi he ngaahi potu fale māʻoniʻoni, pea te nau ʻai ʻae ngaahi kofu kehe; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻae kakai ʻi honau ngaahi kofu. 
Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau tekefua, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau tuku ke lōloa honau louʻulu, ka ʻe kosikosi pe ke nounou. 
Pea ʻe ʻikai siʻi inu ha uaine ʻe ha taulaʻeiki ʻoka fai ʻe ia ke hū ki he lotoʻā ki loto. 
Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau uaifi ʻaki ha fefine kuo mate ʻa hono husepāniti, pe ha taha kuo fakamavae: ka tenau mali mo e kau finemui ʻi he hako ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pe ko e fefine naʻe mali mo ha taulaʻeiki kuo pekia. 
Pea te nau akoʻi ʻa hoku kakai ke ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku māʻoniʻoni mo ia ʻoku kovi, mo nau fakahā ke mahino kiate kinautolu ʻae meʻa ʻoku taʻemaʻa mo ia ʻoku maʻa. 
Pea ka ai ha fakakikihi, ko kinautolu ia ʻe tuʻu ko hono fakamaauʻi; pea te nau fakamaauʻi ia ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku fakamaau: pea te nau fai ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fono mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau ʻi he ngaahi fakataha kotoa pē ʻoku fai kiate au; pea te nau fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu. 
Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau ala ki ha taha kuo mate, ke nau ʻuli ai: ka ʻe ngofua ʻenau fakaʻuliʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo kapau ko haʻanau tamai, pe ko e faʻē, pe ko e foha pe ko e ʻofefine, pe ko ha tokoua, pe ha tuofefine ʻoku ʻikai ke mali. 
Pea hili hono fakamaʻa ia, te nau lau kiate ia ha ʻaho ʻe fitu. 
Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻoku ne hū atu ai ki he potu tapu, ki he lotoʻā ki loto, ke ngāue ʻi he potu tapu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, te ne feilaulau ʻaki maʻana ha feilaulau ʻi he angahala. 
Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e tofiʻa kiate kinautolu: ko au ko honau tofiʻa: pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai vahe ai hanau tofiʻa ʻi ʻIsileli: he ko honau tofiʻa au. 
Te nau kai mei he feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai, mo e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala, mo e feilaulau ʻi he fai hala; pea ʻe ʻanautolu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ʻi ʻIsileli. 
Pea ʻe ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae ʻuluaki vahe ʻi he ʻuluaki fua ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē, mo e feilaulau kotoa pē ʻi hoʻomou feilaulau kehekehe: te mou ʻatu foki ki he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae ʻuluaki vahe ʻo hoʻomou mā kuo natu, koeʻuhi ke hoko ai mo nofomaʻu ʻae tāpuaki ki homou fale. 
‌ʻE ʻikai kai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻi ha meʻa kuo mate mahaki pe, pe ʻi ha meʻa kuo haehae pe ko ha manupuna pe ko ha manu kehe ia.”
