3 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Selemaia kiate kinaua: “Ko e meʻa eni te mo leaʻaki kia Setekaiá, 4 ‘Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí: “Ko eni ʻoku ou fakahanga atu kiate kimoutolu* ʻa e ngaahi meʻatau ʻoku ʻi homou nimá ʻa ia ʻoku mou faitau ʻaki ki he tuʻi ʻo Pāpiloné+ pea ki he kau Kalitia ʻoku nau ʻi tuʻa ʻi he ʻaá ʻo ʻākoloʻi kimoutolú. Pea te u tānaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ko iá* ki he loto koló ni. 5 Pea te u faitau kiate kimoutolu+ ʻaki ha nima kuo mafao atu mo ha nima mālohi, ʻaki ʻa e ʻita mo e tuputāmaki mo e houhau lahi.+ 6 Te u taaʻi ʻa e kakai ʻo e koló ni, fakatouʻosi ʻa e tangata mo e manu. Te nau mate ʻi ha fuʻu mahaki fakaʻauha.”’*+

7 “‘“Pea ʻi he hili iá,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, “te u tuku atu ʻa Tuʻi Setekaia ʻo Siutá mo ʻene kau sevānití pea mo e kakai ʻo e koló ni—ʻa e faʻahinga ʻe hao ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauhá, mo e heletaá, mo e hongé—ki he nima ʻo Tuʻi Nepukanesa* ʻo Pāpiloné, ki he nima ʻo honau ngaahi filí, pea ki he nima ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau kumi ke toʻo ʻa ʻenau moʻuí.+ Te ne taaʻi kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e heletā. ʻE ʻikai te ne ongoʻi fakaʻofaʻia ʻiate kinautolu, pe te ne fakahaaʻi ha manavaʻofa pe ha meesi ʻe taha.”’+

8 “Pea te ke lea ki he kakaí ni, ‘Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihová: “Ko eni ʻoku ou tuku ʻi homou ʻaó ʻa e hala ki he moʻuí mo e hala ki he maté. 9 Ko e faʻahinga ʻe nofo ʻi he koló ni te nau mate ʻi he heletā, ʻi he honge, pea ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha. Kae ʻilonga ʻa ia ʻe hū ki tuʻa ʻo tukulolo ki he kau Kalitia ʻoku nau ʻākoloʻi kimoutolú ʻe moʻui ai pē, pea te ne maʻu ʻa ʻene moʻuí ko ha koloa vete.”’*+

10 “‘“He kuó u siʻaki ʻa e koló ni pea ʻe hoko ki ai ʻa e fakatamaki mo e kovi,”+ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová. “ʻE tuku atu ia ki he nima ʻo e tuʻi ʻo Pāpiloné,+ pea te ne tutu ia ʻaki ʻa e afi.”+

11 “‘Ki he fale ʻo e tuʻi ʻo Siutá: Mou fanongo mai ki he folofola ʻa Sihová. 12 Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihová, ʻe fale ʻo Tēvita:

‘Ka ko kimoutolu ʻoku mou pehē: “Ko hai ia ʻe ʻalu hifo kiate kitautolú?

Pea ko hai ia ʻe fakatūʻuta ʻi hotau ngaahi nofoʻangá?”
