‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “ʻE tāpuni ʻae matapā ʻoe lotoʻā ki loto ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki hahake ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ono ʻoku ngofua ai ʻae ngāue; ka ʻe fakaava ia ʻi he ʻaho tapu, pea ʻe fakaava ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe māhina foʻou. 
Pea ʻe hū atu ʻae tuʻi ʻi he hala ʻoe fale hala ʻoe matapā kituʻa, pea te ne tuʻu ʻi he tefito pou ʻoe matapā, pea ʻe ngaohi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻa ʻene feilaulau tutu, mo ʻene ngaahi feilaulau fakafetaʻi, pea te ne fai ʻene hū ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā: pea te ne toki ʻalu atu; ka ʻe ʻikai tāpuni ʻae matapā ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi. 
‌ʻE pehē foki mo e kakai ʻoe fonua te nau hū ʻi he matapā ʻi he hūʻanga ko ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho tapu, pea ʻi he ngaahi māhina foʻou. 
Pea ko e feilaulau tutu ʻe ʻatu ʻe he tuʻi ʻi he ʻaho tapu, ko e lami ʻe ono taʻehanauʻila, pea mo e sipitangata taʻehanomele. 
Pea ko e feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai ko e efa ʻe taha ki he sipitangata ʻe taha, pea ko e feilaulau meʻakai ki he fanga lami, ʻe fakatatau ia ki heʻene faʻa fai, pea ko e hini ʻe taha ʻoe lolo ki he efa ʻe taha. 
Pea ko e ʻaho ʻoe māhina foʻou ʻe ʻatu ai ʻae pulu mui taʻehanomele, pea mo e fanga lami ʻe ono, pea mo e sipitangata ʻe taha: pea te nau taʻehanaumele. 
Pea te ne teuteu ha feilaulau meʻakai, ko e efa ʻe taha ki he pulu ʻe taha, mo e efa ʻe taha ki he sipitangata ʻe taha, pea ko e meʻa maʻae fanga lami ʻo fakatatau mo ia ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe hono nima, pea ko e hini ʻe taha ʻoe lolo, ki he efa ʻe taha. 
Pea ka hū atu ʻae tuʻi, te ne hū atu ʻi he hala ʻoe fale hala ʻi he matapā, pea te ne toe ʻalu atu ai pe kituʻa. 
¶ Ka ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga fakatoputapu, ko ia ʻoku hū atu ke lotu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki he tokelau, ʻe ʻalu atu ia kituʻa ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki he feituʻu tonga; pea ko ia ʻoku hū atu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki tonga ʻe toe ʻalu atu ia ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki he tokelau: ʻe ʻikai te ne toe foki atu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ko ia naʻa ne hū mai mei ai, ka te ne ʻalu atu ʻi he matapā ʻoku hangatonu mai ki ai. 
Pea ʻe hū atu ʻae tuʻi fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoka nau ka hū ki ai; pea ka nau ka toe ʻalu atu mei ai, ʻe ʻalu foki mo ia kituʻa. 
Pea ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga mo e ngaahi fakataha fakatoputapu ko e feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai, ko e efa ʻe taha ki he pulu ʻe taha, mo e efa ʻe taha ki he sipitangata, pea ko e meʻa ki he fanga lami ʻe fakatatau ia mo ia ʻoku ne faʻa fai, pea ko e hini ʻe taha ʻoe loto, ki he efa ʻe taha. 
Pea ka fai ʻe he tuʻi ke teuteu ʻofa pe haʻane feilaulau tutu, pe ha feilaulau fakafetaʻi ʻoku ʻatu ʻataʻatā pe kia Sihova, ʻe fakaava kiate ia ʻae matapā, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu ki he potu hahake, pea ʻe teuteu ʻa ʻene feilaulau tutu, pea mo ʻene feilaulau fakafetaʻi, ʻo hangē ko ia ne fai ʻi he ʻaho tapu: pea te ne toki ʻalu atu kituʻa; pea ka ʻalu atu ia kituʻa, ʻe tāpuni ʻae matapā. 
Te ke teuteu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ha feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, ko e lami ʻi hono ʻuluaki taʻu, mo taʻehanomele; te ke teuteu ia ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē kotoa pē. 
Pea ʻe teuteu mo hono feilaulau meʻakai, ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē, ko hono vahe ʻe ono ʻoe efa ʻe taha, mo hono vahe ʻe tolu ʻoe hini ʻe taha ʻoe lolo, ke natu ʻaki ʻae mahoaʻa lelei; ko e feilaulau ia ʻoe meʻakai, ke tuʻutuʻuni mo fai maʻuaipē kia Sihova. 
‌ʻE pehē ʻa hono teuteu ʻekinautolu ʻae lami, mo e feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai, pea mo e lolo, ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē, ko e feilaulau tutu ia ke fai maʻuaipē.” 
¶ ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Kapau ʻe ʻatu ha meʻa ʻe he tuʻi ki ha taha ʻi hono ngaahi foha, ʻe maʻu tukufakaholo ia ʻe hono ngaahi foha; ʻe ʻonautolu ia tukufakaholo. 
Pea kapau te ne tuku ha meʻa ki ha taha ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ia ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻoe fakatauʻatāina; ka hoko mai ia ʻe toe maʻu ia ʻe he tuʻi; ka ko e meʻa kuo ne tuku ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻe ʻanautolu maʻuaipē ia. 
Pea ʻe ʻikai fakamālohiʻi ʻe he tuʻi ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe kakai, ke ne kapusi ʻakinautolu mei honau tofiʻa; ka te ne tuku ʻae tofiʻa ki hono ngaahi foha mei hono tofiʻa pe ʻoʻona: koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakamovetevete ʻae kakai mei honau tofiʻa taki taha.” 
¶ Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he hūʻanga ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he veʻe matapā, ki he ngaahi potu fale tapu, naʻe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki he potu tokelau: pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae potu, ʻi hono potu ʻe ua ki lulunga. 
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē kiate au, “Ko e potu eni ʻe haka ai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, ʻae feilaulau ʻoe fai hala, mo e feilaulau ʻi he angahala, pea ʻe taʻo ai ʻae feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau ʻave ia kituʻa, ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, ʻi he tāpuakiʻi ʻoe kakai.” 
Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au kituʻa, ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, mo ne ʻave au ke u ʻalu ki hono tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe lotoʻā; pea vakai naʻe ai ʻae lotoʻā siʻi ʻi hono tuliki kotoa pē. 
‌ʻI hono tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe lotoʻā, naʻe ai ʻae lotoʻā siʻi, ko e kiupite ʻe fāngofulu hono lōloa, pea mo e tolungofulu ʻa hono laulahi: pea naʻe fuofua tatau ʻae tuliki ʻe fā ko ia. 
Pea naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi potu fale ki loto, ʻi hono potu ʻe fā ko ia, pea naʻe ngaohi takatakai ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi hakaʻanga meʻa ki lalo. 
Pea ne toki pehē mai kiate au, “Ko e ngaahi potu ia ʻanautolu ʻoku haka meʻa, ʻaia ʻe haka ai ʻe he kau tauhi ʻoe fale ʻae feilaulau ʻae kakai.”
