[3] Naʻa nau alea fakalilolilo ki hoʻo kakai, pea nau fakakaukau fakataha ki he kakai ʻoku ke maluʻi.
[4] Naʻa nau pehē, “Haʻu, ketau fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa toe ui ʻakinautolu ko e puleʻanga; ke ʻoua naʻa kei manatu ki he hingoa ʻo ʻIsileli.”

[8] ʻOku fakataha mo kinautolu foki ʻa ʻAsilia: kuo nau tokoni ki he fānau ʻa Lote. Sila.
[9] Fai kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fai ki he kau Mitiani; ʻo hangē ko Sisela, mo Sapini, ʻi he vaitafe ʻo Kisoni:
[10] ʻAia naʻe ʻauha ʻi Enitoa: naʻa nau hoko ʻo hangē ko e kinohaʻa ki he kelekele.
[11] Ngaohi honau ngaahi ʻeiki ke hangē ko Olipi, pea tatau mo Siipi: ʻio, ʻa ʻenau houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko Sipaa, mo Salimuna.
[12] ʻAia naʻa nau pehē, “Ketau maʻu ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe ʻOtua moʻotautolu.”
[13] ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ke ke ngaohi ʻakinautolu ke hangē ko e teka; ke hangē ko e veve ʻoku vilingia ʻi he matangi.
[14] ʻO hangē ko e vela ʻoe vao ʻakau ʻi he afi, pea hangē kuo tutu ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻe he ulo afi.
[15] Ke fakatanga pehē ʻakinautolu ʻaki hoʻo fuʻu taufa, pea fakamanavahēʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki hoʻo afā.
[16] ʻE Sihova, fakafonu honau mata ʻi he mā; koeʻuhi kenau kumi ki ho huafa.
[17] Tuku kenau puputuʻu mo mamahi ʻo taʻengata; ʻio, tuku ke mā mo ʻauha ʻakinautolu.
