1 Pea fua lea ia kiate kinautolu, ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe tō ʻe he tangata ʻae ngoue vaine, pea ne takatakai ʻaki [ia ]ʻae ʻā keli ʻae potu tataʻoʻanga uaine, pea langa ʻae fale leʻo, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he kau tangata tauhi ngoue, kae ʻalu ia ki he fonua mamaʻo.
2 Pea hoko hono toʻukai, naʻa ne fekau ʻae tamaioʻeiki ki he kau tauhi ngoue, koeʻuhi ke ne maʻu mei he kau tauhi ngoue ʻae fua ʻoe ngoue vaine.
3 Pea naʻa nau puke ia, ʻo haha, ʻo fekau ke ʻalu taʻehaʻanemeʻa.
4 Pea toe fekau ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻe taha; pea naʻa nau tolongaki ʻaki ia ʻae maka, pea foa hono ʻulu, pea fekau ke ʻalu kuo lahi ʻenau fai kovi kiate ia.
5 Pea toe fekau ʻe ia ʻae tokotaha kehe, pea nau tāmateʻi ia; pea mo e tokolahi; kae haha ʻae niʻihi, pea tāmateʻi ʻae niʻihi.
6 Pea kuo kei toe kiate ia ʻa hono foha pe taha, ʻaia ko hono ʻofaʻanga, pea ne fekau fakamui foki ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Te nau fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoku foha.’
7 Ka naʻe fepehēʻaki ʻae kau tauhi ngoue ko ia, ‘Ko eni ʻae foha hoko; haʻu, ke tau tāmateʻi ia, pea ʻe ʻotautolu ʻae tofiʻa.’
8 Pea naʻa nau puke, ʻo tāmateʻi ia, pea lī ia kituaʻā ngoue vaine.
9 “Ko e hā ʻe fai ai ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine? ʻE haʻu ia, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻae kau tauhi ngoue, pea ʻe tuku ʻae ngoue vaine ki ha kakai kehe.
10 Pea naʻe ʻikai te mou lau ʻae tohi ni; ‘Ko e maka naʻe liʻaki ʻe he kau tufunga, kuo hoko ia ko e fungani ʻoe tuliki:
11 Ko e ngāue ʻa Sihova eni, pea ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻi hotau ʻao?’”
12 Pea naʻa nau fai ke nau puke ia, ka naʻa nau manavahē ki he kakai: ka naʻa nau ʻilo ko ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā kiate kinautolu: pea nau tuku ia, ka nau ʻalu.
13 Pea naʻa nau fekau kiate ia ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kau Fālesi mo e kau Helotiane, ke nau femioekina ia, ʻi [heʻene ]lea.
14 Pea kuo nau haʻu, pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻoku ke moʻoni koe, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke tokanga ki ha tangata; he ʻoku ʻikai te ke filifilimānako ki he tangata, ka ʻoku ke akonaki ʻaki ʻae hala ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he moʻoni: ʻOku ngofua ke ʻatu ʻae tukuhau kia Sisa, pe ʻikai?
15 ʻE lelei ʻemau ʻatu, pe ʻikai?” Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia ʻenau mālualoi, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻahiʻahiʻi ai au?” ʻOmi ha tenali ke u mamata ai.
16 Pea nau ʻomi[ia]. Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e fofonga mo e tohi eni ʻa hai?” Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻA Sisa.”
17 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻAnge kia Sisa ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻa Sisa, pea [ʻange ]ki he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua.” Pea naʻa nau ofo ʻiate ia.
18 Pea toki haʻu ʻae kau Satusi kiate ia, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu; pea nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē,
19 “ʻEiki, naʻe tohi ʻe Mōsese kiate kimautolu, [ʻo pehē], ‘Kapau ʻe pekia ʻae tokoua ʻo ha tangata, pea ʻoku ai [hono ]uaifi, kae ʻikai haʻane fānau, ʻe maʻu ʻe hono tokoua ʻa hono uaifi, ʻo fakatupu ʻae hako ki hono tokoua.’
20 Naʻe ai ʻae kāinga ʻe toko fitu: pea maʻu ʻe he ʻuluaki ʻae uaifi, pea pekia ia ʻoku ʻikai hano hako.
21 Pea maʻu ia ʻe hono toko ua, pea pekia ia, kae ʻikai hano hako; pea mo hono toko tolu foki,
22 Pea maʻu ia ʻe he toko fitu, kae ʻikai ha hako: pea mate fakamui foki ʻae fefine.
23 Ko ia, ʻi he toetuʻu, ʻoka nau ka tuʻu hake, ʻe hoko ia ko e uaifi ʻo hai ʻiate kinautolu? He naʻe maʻu ia ʻe he toko fitu ko[honau ]uaifi.”
24 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai ko ia ʻoku mou hē ai, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou taʻeʻilo ki he tohi, mo e mālohi ʻae ʻOtua?
25 Koeʻuhi, ʻoka nau ka tuʻu hake mei he pekia, ʻoku ʻikai te nau mali, pe foaki ke mali; ka ʻoku nau tatau mo e kau ʻāngelo ʻi he langi.
26 Pea koeʻuhi ko e toetuʻu ʻae pekia, naʻe ʻikai te mou lau ʻi he tohi ʻa Mōsese, ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia ʻi he ʻulu ʻakau, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko au ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻAisake, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope?’
27 ʻOku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe mate, ka ko e ʻOtua ʻoe moʻui: ko ia ʻoku mou hē lahi ai.”
28 Pea ko e tangata tohi ʻe tokotaha, naʻa ne fanongo ki heʻenau fetauʻaki, pea ne ʻilo kuo tali lelei ʻe ia ʻakinautolu, pea haʻu ia ʻo fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ko e fekau fē ʻoku lahi ʻi he[fono ]kotoa pē?”
29 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko e lahi[eni ]ʻi he ngaahi fekau kotoa pē, ‘Fanongo, ʻe ʻIsileli; Ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ko Sihova ʻoku taha pe:
30 pea ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho loto kotoa, pea mo ho laumālie kotoa, mo ho ʻatamai kotoa, mo ho mālohi kotoa.’ Ko e lahi eni ʻi he fekau.
31 Pea ko hono ua ʻoku tatau[mo ia], ‘Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko koe.’ ʻOku ʻikai ha fekau ʻe lahi hake ki he ongo [fekau ]ni.”
32 Pea pehē ʻe he tangata tohi kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni, ʻEiki, kuo ke lea totonu: he ʻoku ai ʻae ʻOtua pe taha; pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha taha:
33 Pea ko e ʻofa kiate ia ʻaki ʻae loto kotoa, mo e ʻatamai kotoa, mo e laumālie kotoa, pea mo e mālohi kotoa, pea ko e ʻofa ki hono kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko ia, ʻoku lahi hake ia ʻi he ngaahi feilaulau tutu kotoa mo e ngaahi hifo kotoa pē.”
34 Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe Sisu ʻoku ne lea fakapotopoto mai, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te ke mamaʻo mo e puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.” Pea hili ia, naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe faʻa fehuʻi kiate ia.
35 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē ʻi heʻene kei akonaki ʻi he falelotu lahi, “Ko e hā ʻoku pehē ai ʻae kau tangata tohi, ‘Ko Kalaisi ko e foha ʻo Tevita?
36 He naʻe lea foki ʻe Tevita, ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ‘Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova ki hoku ʻEiki, Nofo koe ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu, kaeʻoua ke u ngaohi hoʻo ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe.”’
37 Ko ia, ʻoku ui ia ʻe Tevita, ‘ʻEiki;’ pea ko hono foha fēfē ia?” Pea fanongo fiefia kiate ia ʻae kakai lāuvale.
38 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ʻi heʻene akonaki, “Vakai telia ʻae kau tangata tohi, ʻoku nau manako ke ʻalu ʻi he kofu tōtōlofa, mo e fetapa ʻi he ngaahi faianga fakatau,
39 mo e nofoʻanga lelei ʻi he ngaahi falelotu, mo e potu māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga;
40 ʻAkinautolu ʻoku nau faʻao ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti, mo fakakākā ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lotu fuoloa: ʻe maʻu ʻekinautolu ni ʻae malaʻia lahi.”
41 Pea nofo ʻa Sisu ʻo hangatonu ki he [fale ]tukuʻanga koloa, ʻo ne vakai ki he lī ʻe he kakai[ʻenau ]paʻanga ki he tukuʻanga koloa: pea ko e tokolahi naʻe koloaʻia ne nau lī[ki ai ]ʻae meʻa lahi.
42 Pea haʻu ʻae fefine masiva kuo mate hono husepāniti, ʻone lī[ki ai ]ʻae kihiʻi paʻanga ʻe ua, ʻaia ʻoku tatau mo e kotani ʻe taha.
43 Pea ne ui ʻene kau ākonga, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e fefine paea ni, kuo ne lī [ki ai ]ʻae meʻa lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu fulipē, kuo nau lī ki he tukuʻanga koloa:
44 He naʻa nau lī kotoa pē[ki ai ]mei heʻenau koloa lahi; ka ko ia, ʻi heʻene masiva, kuo ne lī [ki ai ]ʻa ia kotoa pē ne ne maʻu, ʻio, ʻa ʻene moʻui kotoa pē.”
