Pea naʻe toki ʻave ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻa ʻUsaia, ʻaia naʻe hongofulu ma ono taʻu hono motuʻa, ʻo fakanofo ia ke tuʻi ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAmasia. 
Naʻa ne langa ʻa ʻEloti, ʻo toe fakakau ia ki Siuta, ʻi he hili ange ʻae mohe ʻae tuʻi ki heʻene ngaahi tamai. 
Naʻe hongofulu ma ono ʻae taʻu ʻoe motuʻa ʻo ʻUsaia ʻi he kamata ʻene pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu mo e taʻu ʻe ua ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē foki ko Sekolia ʻo Selūsalema. 
Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai ko ʻAmasia. 
Naʻe kumi ʻe ia ki he ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sakalia, ʻaia naʻe poto ʻi he ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa hā mai ʻae ʻOtua: pea lolotonga ʻene kumi kia Sihova, naʻe fakamonūʻia ia ʻe he ʻOtua. 
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻo tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻo ne holoki hifo ʻae ʻā maka ʻo Kati, mo e ʻā maka ʻo Sapina, mo e ʻā maka ʻo ʻAsitoti, pea ne langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻi he fonua ʻAsitoti, pea ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai Filisitia. 
Pea naʻe tokoni ia ʻe he ʻOtua ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia, pea ke tauʻi ʻae kakai ʻAlepea ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Kuapeali, mo e kakai Mehunimi. 
Pea naʻe foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa ʻe he kakai ʻAmoni kia ʻUsaia: pea naʻe ongoongoa atu hono hingoa ʻo aʻu ki he hūʻanga ki ʻIsipite: he naʻa ne fakamālohi ia ke lahi ʻaupito. 
Pea naʻe langa foki ʻe ʻUsaia ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he matapā ʻi he tuliki, pea ʻi he matapā ʻoe potu talalo, pea ʻi he afenga, ʻo ne langa foʻou ia. 
Pea naʻa ne langa ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga ʻi he toafa, pea keli ʻae ngaahi vai lahi: he naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻene fanga manu, ʻi he fonua ʻi lalo, pea mo e ngaahi tafangafanga: mo e kau tauhi ngoue, mo e kau tauhi vaine ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻi Kameli: he naʻe manako ia ki he tauhi ngoue. 
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻUsaia foki ʻae kau tangata fai tau, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu vahevahe pe ki he tau, ʻo fakatatau ki honau lau ʻi he pule ʻa Sieli ko e tangata tohi mo Māseia ko e pule, ʻi he nima ʻo Hanania, ko e tokotaha ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻae tuʻi. 
Ko hono lau kotoa ʻoe kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he kau mātuʻa, ʻoe kau tangata toʻa mālohi naʻe toko ua afe mo e toko onongeau. 
Pea naʻe ʻi honau nima ʻae fuʻu tau, ko e toko tolu kilu mo e toko fitu afe mo e toko nimangeau, naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻi he mālohi lahi, ke tokoni ki he tuʻi ke tauʻi ʻae fili. 
Pea naʻe tokonaki ʻe ʻUsaia moʻonautolu ʻi he tau kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi pā, mo e tao, mo e tatā, mo e ngaahi kofutau, mo e ngaahi kau fana, mo e ngaahi makatā. 
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻae ngaahi meʻa tau, naʻe fakakaukau hono ngaohi ʻe he kau tangata poto, ke fokotuʻu ʻi he ngaahi fale māʻolunga pea ki he ngaahi puke, ke fanaʻaki ʻae ngahau mo e ngaahi maka lahi. Pea naʻe ongoongo ki he mamaʻo hono hingoa: he naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae tokoni kiate ia, ke ne mālohi ai. 
¶ Ka ʻi heʻene mālohi naʻe mahikihiki hake hono loto ke kovi lahi ai ia: he naʻa ne fai talangataʻa kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, pea naʻe hū ia ki he faletapu ʻo Sihova ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala he feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa namu kakala. 
Pea naʻe hū ki ai ʻa ʻAsalia ko e taulaʻeiki ʻo muimui ʻiate ia, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻa Sihova ʻe toko valungofulu, ko e kau tangata toʻa: 
Pea naʻa nau tali tuʻu ki he tuʻi ko ʻUsaia, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻE ʻUsaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate koe ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova, ka ki he kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, ʻaia kuo fakatapui ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala: ʻalu kituʻa koe mei he faletapu, he kuo ke fai hala: pea ʻe ʻikai foki te ke ongoongolelei ai meia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.” 
Pea naʻe houhau ai ʻa ʻUsaia, pea naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻae ʻaiʻanga afi, ke tutu ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala: pea lolotonga ʻene houhau ki he kau taulaʻeiki, naʻe tupu hake ʻae kilia ʻi hono foʻi laʻē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, mei he potu ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa namu kakala. 
Pea naʻe mamata kiate ia ʻe ʻAsalia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, pea mo e kau taulaʻeiki kotoa pē, pea vakai, kuo kilia ia ʻi hono laʻē, pea naʻa nau tekeʻi ia mei ai kituʻa: ʻio, pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ia ke ʻalu kituʻa, he kuo taaʻi ia ʻe Sihova. 
Pea naʻe kilia ʻae tuʻi ko ʻUsaia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene pekia, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he fale liʻaki, he ko e kilia ia; he naʻe motuhi ia mei he fale ʻo Sihova pea naʻe pule ʻa Sotami ko hono foha ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo fakamaauʻi ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua. 
¶ Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa ʻUsaia, ko e ʻuluaki mo e kimui, naʻe tohi ia ʻe ʻIsaia ko e palōfita, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi. 
Pea pehē naʻe mohe ʻa ʻUsaia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he ngoue ʻoe tanuʻanga naʻe kau ki he ngaahi tuʻi: he naʻa nau pehē, Ko e kilia ia: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Sotami ko hono ʻalo.
