[1] PEA naʻe folofola pe ʻa Sihova kia Siope, ʻo pehē,
[2] “Ko ia ʻoku ne fakakikihi ki he Māfimafi te ne akonaki ia? Ko ia ʻoku ne valokiʻi ʻae ʻOtua, tuku ke ne talia ia.”
[3] Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Siope kia Sihova, ʻo ne pehē,
[4] “Vakai kuo u kovi; ko e hā te u tali ʻaki koe? Te u ʻai hoku nima ki hoku ngutu.
[5] Kuo u lea ʻo tuʻo taha ka ʻe ʻikai te u toe lea: ʻio, kuo tuʻo ua ka ʻe ʻikai te u toe lea atu.”
[6] Pea naʻe toki folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siope mei he ʻahiohio, ʻo pehē,
[7] “Ko eni, ke ke nonoʻo ho noʻotangavala ʻo taau mo e tangata: pea te u ʻeke kiate koe, pea ke fakahā mai kiate au.
[8] Te ke fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻa ʻeku fakamaau foki? Te ke fakahalaia au, koeʻuhi ke ke māʻoniʻoni koe?
[9] Kuo ke maʻu ʻae nima ʻo hangē ko e ʻOtua? Pe ʻoku ke faʻa mana koe ʻaki ʻae leʻo ʻo hangē ko ia?
[10] “Ko eni, ke ke teuʻi koe ʻaki ʻae māfimafi mo e ngeia; mo ke kofuʻaki koe ʻae nāunau mo e toulekeleka.
[11] Tufaki ke mamaʻo ʻae tuputāmaki ʻo ho houhau: pea vakai kiate kinautolu taki taha kotoa pē ʻoku laukau, ʻo fakavaivai ia.
[12] Vakai kiate ia kotoa pē ʻoku fielahi, pea ʻohifo ia ki lalo; pea molomoloki hifo ʻae kau angahala ʻi honau potu.
[13] Fakafufū ʻakinautolu fakataha ʻi he efu; pea nonoʻo honau mata ʻi he lilo.
[14] Pea te u toki fakamoʻoni kiate koe, ʻe faʻa fakamoʻui koe ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻoʻou.
[15] “Ko eni, ke ke vakai ki he Piʻimote, ʻaia kuo u ngaohi mo koe; ʻoku ne kai mohuku ʻo hangē ko e fanga pulu:
[16] Vakai, ʻoku ʻi hono fasiʻatuʻa ʻa hono mālohi, mo ʻene mafai ʻoku ʻi he pito ʻo hono kete.
[17] ʻOku ne ueʻi hono iku ʻo hangē ko e sita: ko e uoua ʻo hono tenga ʻoku fefihitaki fakataha.
[18] Ko hono ngaahi hui ʻoku tatau mo e ngaahi konga palasa mālohi; ʻoku tatau hono ngaahi hui mo e ngaahi vaʻa ʻaione.
[19] Ko e lahi ia ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻae ʻOtua: ko ia naʻa ne ngaohi ia ʻoku ne faʻa fai ke fakaofi ʻene heletā kiate ia.
[20] Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku tupu hake ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻae meʻakai maʻana, ʻaia ʻoku fakavā ai ʻae ngaahi manu kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue.
[21] ʻOku tokoto ia ʻi he lolo ʻakau malumalu, ʻi he lilolilo ʻoe kaho, mo e ngaahi ano.
[22] Ko e ngaahi ʻakau malumalu ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki honau ata; ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi uilou ʻoe vaitafe.
[23] Vakai, ʻoku ne inu ʻae vaitafe ʻo maha, pea ʻikai toʻotoʻo: ʻoku tui ia te ne faʻa mimisi hake ʻa Sioatani ki hono ngutu.
[24] ʻOku ne maʻu ia ʻaki hono mata: ʻoku ne tuiʻi ʻae ngaahi tauhele ʻaki hono iku.
