Nake Mika akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũũrania na niĩ ũtuĩke baba na mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wakwa, na nĩndĩrĩkũheaga cekeri ikũmi cia betha o mwaka, na nguo ciaku cia kwĩhumba na irio cia kũrĩa.”
11 Pea naʻe fiemālie ai ʻae Livai ke na nonofo mo e tangata; pea naʻe tatau ʻae talavou kiate ia mo hono foha ʻe taha.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũlawii ũcio agĩĩtĩkĩra gũtũũrania hamwe nake, na mwanake ũcio agĩtuĩka ta ũmwe wa ariũ ake.
12 Pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe Maika ʻae tangata Livai; pea naʻe hoko ʻae talavou ko hono taulaʻeiki, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he fale ʻo Maika.
Ningĩ Mika akĩamũra Mũlawii ũcio, nake mwanake ũcio agĩtuĩka mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wake na agĩtũũra gwake mũciĩ.
13 Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Maika, “ʻOku ou ʻilo eni ʻe fai lelei ʻe Sihova kiate au, he kuo u maʻu ha [tangata ]Livai ke taulaʻeiki.”
Nake Mika akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu nĩndamenya atĩ Jehova nĩekũnjĩka wega, nĩgũkorwo Mũlawii ũyũ nĩatuĩkĩte mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wakwa.”
