Ko e mā kotoa naʻe ʻave ko honau ʻohó naʻe pakupaku mo momomomo. 6 Naʻa nau ʻalu leva kia Siosiua ki he ʻapitanga ʻi Kilikalí+ pea nau pehē kiate ia pea mo e kau tangata ʻo ʻIsilelí: “Kuo mau haʻu mei ha fonua mamaʻo. Pea ko eni ke mou fai muʻa ha fuakava mo kimautolu.” 7 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻo ʻIsilelí ki he kau Heví:+ “Naʻa ʻokú ke nofo ofi mai pē kiate kimautolu. Ko ia ʻe lava fēfē ke mau fai ha fuakava mo koe?”+ 8 Naʻa nau tali ange kia Siosiua: “Ko kimautolú ko hoʻo kau sevāniti.”*

Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Siosiua: “Ko hai kimoutolu, pea ko hoʻomou haʻú mei fē?” 9 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻa nau pehē ange ai kiate ia: “Kuo haʻu ʻa hoʻo kau sevānití ni mei ha fonua mamaʻo ʻaupito+ ko hono ʻuhingá ko e huafa ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtuá, he kuo mau fanongo ʻi hono ongoongó pea mo e meʻa kotoa naʻá ne fai ʻi ʻIsipité+ 10 pea mo e meʻa kotoa naʻá ne fai ki he ongo tuʻi ʻo e kau ʻĀmolí ʻa ia naʻá na ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha* ʻo Sioataní, ʻa Tuʻi Sīhoni+ ʻo Hesiponí mo Tuʻi ʻOki+ ʻo Pēsaní, ʻa ia naʻe ʻi ʻAsitelotí. 11 Ko ia naʻe tala mai ʻe heʻemau kau mātuʻá mo e kakai kotoa ʻo homau fonuá kiate kimautolu, ‘ʻAve hamou ʻoho ki he fonongá pea mou ō atu ʻo feʻiloaki mo kinautolu.

14 Ko ia naʻe toʻo* ʻe he kau tangata ʻo ʻIsilelí ha meʻa mei honau ʻohó, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau kumi ki ha tataki meia Sihova.+ 15 Ko ia naʻe alea melino ʻa Siosiua mo kinautolu+ peá ne fai ha fuakava mo kinautolu ke tuku ke nau moʻui, pea ko e meʻa ia naʻe fakapapauʻaki ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo e fuʻu fakatahá kia kinautolu ʻi ha fuakavá.+
