3 ʻAkimoutolu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani, mo kimoutolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he funga fonua, mou vakai, ʻoka fokotuʻu ʻe ia ha fuka ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga; pea ʻi he ifi ʻe ia ʻae kelea, mou fanongo.

4 He naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Te u mālōlō, pea te u tokangaʻi hoku fale ʻo hangē ko e mafana hili ʻae ʻuha, pea hangē ko ha ʻao ʻoe hahau ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ututaʻu.”
Nʼihi na ihe ndị a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị gwara m, “Aga m anọ jụụ na-elepụ anya site nʼebe obibi m, dịka mgbe igirigi na-ada nʼoge okpomọkụ nke owuwe ihe ubi, na dịka anyanwụ si acha nʼoge okpomọkụ.”
5 ʻI he teʻeki ai hoko ʻae ututaʻu, ʻaia ʻoku haohaoa ai hono fua, pea ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ke momoho ʻae kālepi mei hono fisi, te ne fakatou tuʻusi ʻae ngaahi huli ʻaki ʻae hele tuʻusi, pea ʻave mo tuʻusi hifo ʻae ngaahi vaʻa.
Nʼihi na tupu oge owuwe ihe ubi eruo, mgbe ifuru dapụsịrị, mgbe okoko na-aghọ mkpụrụ vaịnị nke ka na-achata achata, ọ ga-eji mma oge gbuchapụ ụmụ alaka ya, ọ ga-egbutu ma wezugakwa alaka ndị ahụ na-awasa awasa.
6 ʻE tuku fakataha ia ki he manupuna ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, pea ki he fanga manu fekai ʻoe kelekele: ko e ngaahi manupuna te nau kai ai ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana, pea ʻe kai ai ʻae manu fekai kotoa pē ʻoe kelekele ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momoko.
A ga-ahapụ ozu ndị agha ha ka anụ ufe nke ugwu na ụmụ anụ ọhịa rie ha. Ụmụ nnụnụ ga-eri anụ ha nʼoge okpomọkụ, ma ụmụ anụ ọhịa ga-eri ha nʼoge oyi.
7 ʻI he kuonga ko ia ʻe ʻomi kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻae meʻa foaki mei he fonua lōloa mo lafalafa, pea mei he kakai fakamanavahē talu mei honau tupuʻanga ʻo aʻu mai; ko e puleʻanga kuo fua ʻaki ʻae afo pea faʻa molomoloki, ʻaia kuo maumauʻi ʻe he ngaahi vaitafe; ki he potu ʻoe huafa ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ki he moʻunga ko Saione.”
