[1] NAʻE pehē ʻE Sihova ki hoku ʻEiki, “Nofo koe ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu, kaeʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe.”
[2] ʻE fekau ʻe Sihova ʻae tokotoko ʻo ho mālohi mei Saione: “Ke ke pule ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ho ngaahi fili.”
[3] ʻE loto matala ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ho mālohi, ʻi he ngaahi teunga matamatalelei ʻoe māʻoniʻoni mei he manāva ʻoe pongipongi: ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae hahau ʻo hoʻo talavou.
[4] Kuo fuakava ʻa Sihova, pea ʻe ʻikai liliu ia, “Ko e taulaʻeiki koe ʻo lauikuonga ʻi he lakanga ʻo Melikiseteke.”
[5] Ko e ʻEiki ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu, te ne taaʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hono houhau.
[6] Te ne fakamaau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni, te ne fakapito ʻae ngaahi potu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻangaʻanga; ʻe lavea ʻiate ia ʻae ʻulu ʻoe ngaahi fonua lahi.
[7] ʻE inu ia ʻi he vaitafe ʻi he hala: ko ia te ne hiki hake ai ʻae ʻulu.
