8 Fakahāhā ʻa e ʻofa mateaki ki hoʻo sevānití,+ he kuó ke ʻomi au ki ha fuakava ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová.+ Ka ʻo kapau ʻoku ou halaia,+ ke ke tāmateʻi ʻe koe au. Ko e hā ke ke tuku ai au ki hoʻo tamaí?”

42 Naʻe pehē ʻe Sionatane kia Tēvita: “ʻAlu fiemālie, he kuó ta fai ha fuakava+ ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihová ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOfa ke ʻi hota vahaʻá ʻa Sihova pea ke ne ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ho hakó mo hoku hakó ʻo taʻengata.’”+

Naʻe mālanga hake leva ʻa Tēvita ʻo ne mavahe atu, pea naʻe foki ʻa Sionatane ki he koló.

18 Pea naʻá na fai ha fuakava+ ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová, pea naʻe nofo ʻa Tēvita ʻi Hōlesi, pea ko Sionatane naʻá ne foki ki hono ʻapí.

9 Naʻe pehē leva ʻe Tēvita: “ʻOku kei toe ha taha ʻi he fale ʻo Saulá ʻa ia ʻe lava ke u fakahāhā ki ai ha ʻofa mateaki koeʻuhí ko Sionatane?”+

7 Kae kehe, naʻe fakahāhā ʻe he tuʻí ʻa e manavaʻofa kia Mefipōseti,+ ko e foha ʻo Sionatane ko e foha ʻo Saulá, koeʻuhi ko e fuakava naʻe fai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Tēvita mo Sionatane,+ ko e foha ʻo Saulá.
