Ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli fakafou ʻia Malakai:*

2 “Kuó u fakahāhā ʻa e ʻofa kiate kimoutolu kakai,”+ ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihová.

Ka ʻoku mou pehē: “Kuo anga-fēfē hoʻo fakahāhā mai kiate kimautolu ʻa e ʻofá?”

“ʻIkai ko ʻĪsoá ko e tokoua ʻo Sēkope?”+ Ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová. “Ka naʻá ku ʻofa ʻia Sēkope, 3 peá u fehiʻa ʻia ʻĪsoa;+ pea naʻá ku ʻai hono ngaahi moʻungá ke maomaonganoa+ pea tuku atu hono tofiʻá ki he fanga siakali ʻo e toafá.”+

4 “Neongo ʻoku pehē ʻe ʻĪtomi, ‘Kuo laiki kimautolu, ka te mau toe foki ʻo langa ʻa e ngaahi fokotuʻunga maumaú,’ ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau taú, ‘Te nau langa, ka te u holoki hifo, pea ʻe ui kinautolu “ko e feituʻu ʻo e fulikivanú” pea “ko e kakai kuo fakahalaiaʻi taʻengata+ ʻe Sihova.” 5 ʻE sio ʻa homou matá tonu ki ai, pea te mou pehē: “Fakatauange ke fakavīkivikiʻi ʻa Sihova ʻi he feituʻu ʻo ʻIsilelí.”’”

6 “‘ʻOku fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻe ha foha ʻa ʻene tamaí,+ pea mo ha sevāniti ʻa hono ʻeikí. Ko ia kapau ko ha tamai+ au, ko fē ʻa e fakaʻapaʻapa ʻoku taau mo aú?+ Pea kapau ko ha ʻeiki* au, ko fē ʻa e manavahēʻia* ʻoku taau mo aú?’ ʻOku folofola ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau kiate kimoutolu ʻa e kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku mou taʻetokaʻi ʻa hoku hingoá.+

“‘Ka ʻoku mou pehē: “Kuo anga-fēfē ʻa ʻemau taʻetokaʻi ho huafá?”’

7 “‘ʻI hoʻomou foaki ʻa e meʻakai* kuo ʻuliʻi ʻi hoku ʻōlitá.’

“‘Pea ʻoku mou pehē: “Kuo anga-fēfē haʻamau ʻuliʻi koe?”’

“‘ʻI hoʻomou pehē: “Ko e tēpile ʻa Sihová+ ko ha meʻa ia ke taʻetokaʻi.” 8 Pea ʻi hoʻomou foaki ha monumanu ʻoku kui ko ha feilaulau, ʻoku mou pehē: “ʻOku ʻikai hano kovi.” Pea ʻi hoʻomou foaki ha monumanu ʻoku heke pe ko ha monumanu ʻoku mahamahaki, ʻoku mou pehē: “ʻOku ʻikai hano kovi.”’”+

“ʻAhiʻahi foaki ange muʻa ia ki ho kōvaná. Te ne leleiʻia ai ʻiate koe pe te ne talitali lelei koe?” Ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau.

9 “Pea ko eni, kōlenga muʻa ki he* ʻOtuá, heiʻilo te ne fakahāhā mai ha hōifua kiate kitautolu. ʻI he ngaahi feilaulau pehē mei homou nimá tonu, te ne talitali lelei ai ha taha ʻo kimoutolu?” Ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau.

10 “Pea ko hai ʻi homou lotolotongá ʻokú ne loto-lelei ke ne tāpuni ʻa e ngaahi matapaá*+ ʻo taʻetotongi? He ʻe aʻu ʻo ʻikai te mou tutu ʻa e afi ʻi hoku ʻōlitá ʻo taʻetotongi.+ ʻOku ʻikai te u leleiʻia ʻiate kimoutolu,” ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau taú, “pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻaku leleiʻia ʻi ha faʻahinga feilaulau meʻaʻofa pē mei homou nimá.”+

11 “He mei he hopo ʻa e laʻaá ki heʻene tō,* ko hoku hingoá ʻe hoko ʻo lahi ʻi he ngaahi puleʻangá.+ ʻI he feituʻu kotoa pē ko e ngaahi feilaulaú ʻe ʻai ke kohu, pea ko e ngaahi foakí ʻe fai ia ʻi hoku hingoá ko ha meʻaʻofa lelei; koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoá ʻe hoko ʻo lahi ʻi he ngaahi puleʻangá,”+ ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau.

12 “Ka ʻoku mou taʻefakaʻapaʻapaʻi ia*+ ʻi hoʻomou pehē, ‘Ko e tēpile ʻa Sihová ʻoku ʻuli, pea ko e feilaulau ʻoku ʻi aí, ʻa e meʻakaí, ʻoku tuha pē ia ke taʻetokaʻi.’+ 13 ʻOku mou toe pehē, ‘Vakai! He meʻa fakahela moʻoni!’ Pea ʻoku mou manuki* ki ai,” ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau. “Pea ʻoku mou ʻomi ʻa e fanga monumanu naʻe kaihaʻasi mai, mo e manu ʻoku heke, mo e manu ʻoku mahamahaki. ʻIo, ʻoku mou ʻomai ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni ko ha meʻaʻofa! ʻOku totonu ke u tali ia mei homou nimá?”+ Ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihová.

14 “ʻOku malaʻia ʻa e tokotaha kākā ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi ai haʻane monumanu tangata taʻemele ʻi heʻene tākangá, ka ʻokú ne fai ha fuakava peá ne feilaulauʻaki ha monumanu ʻoku mele kia Sihova. He ko aú ko ha Tuʻi lahi,”+ ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, “pea ko hoku hingoá ʻe manavahēʻia ʻi he ngaahi puleʻangá.”+
