Pea ʻi he hili leva ʻa e hoko kiate kinautolu+ ha ngaahi mamahi mo ha ngaahi faingataʻaʻia lahi, te nau pehē, ‘ʻIkai ʻoku hoko mai kiate kitautolu+ ʻa e ngaahi mamahí ni koeʻuhí ko hotau ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hotau lotolotongá?’

15 Naʻe hanganaki fakatokanga ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau fanga kuí kiate kinautolu ʻo fakafou ʻi heʻene kau talafekaú, ʻo toutou fakatokanga, koeʻuhí naʻá ne ongoʻi manavaʻofa ki hono kakaí pea ki hono ʻafioʻangá. 16 Ka naʻa nau hanganaki lumaʻi ʻa e kau talafekau ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní,+ pea nau taʻetokaʻi ʻene folofolá+ mo manukiʻi ʻa ʻene kau palōfitá,+ kae ʻoua ke hoko mai ʻa e houhau ʻa Sihová ki hono kakaí,+ pea aʻu ʻo ʻikai lava ke fakamoʻui kinautolu.
