9 “Pehē foki, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu: Mou kumi ha ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi koloa taʻemāʻoniʻoní,+ koeʻuhi ʻo ka kaʻanga ia, te nau tali kimoutolu ki he ngaahi nofoʻanga taʻengatá.+ 10 Ko e tokotaha ʻoku anga-tonu ʻi he meʻa ʻoku siʻí ʻoku anga-tonu foki ia ʻi he meʻa ʻoku lahí, pea ko e tokotaha ʻoku taʻemāʻoniʻoni ʻi he meʻa ʻoku siʻí ʻoku taʻemāʻoniʻoni foki ia ʻi he meʻa ʻoku lahí. 11 Ko ia ai, kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke mou fakamoʻoniʻi ʻoku mou anga-tonu ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi koloa taʻemāʻoniʻoní, ko hai ia te ne tuku atu kiate kimoutolu ke mou tauhi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku moʻoní? 12 Pea kapau kuo teʻeki ke mou fakamoʻoniʻi ʻoku mou anga-tonu ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e meʻa ʻa ha taha kehe, ko hai ia te ne ʻoatu ha meʻa maʻamoutolu?+ 13 ʻOku ʻikai lava ha sevāniti ke hoko ko ha tamaioʻeiki ki ha ʻeiki ʻe toko ua, he te ne fehiʻa ki he taha kae ʻofa ki he taha, pe te ne pīkitai ki he taha kae taʻetokaʻi ʻa e taha.

14 Ko e kau Fālesí leva, ʻa ia ko e kau ʻofa ki he paʻangá, naʻa nau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa, pea naʻe kamata ke nau fakaʻaluma kiate ia.+ 15 Ko ia naʻá ne pehē kiate kinautolu: “Ko kimoutolu ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku mou fakahā ʻoku mou māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻo e tangatá,+ ka ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá homou lotó.+ He ko e meʻa ʻoku vakai ki ai ʻa e tangatá ʻoku māʻolungá ʻoku fakalielia ia ʻi he vakai ʻa e ʻOtuá.+
16 “Ko e Laó mo e Kau Palōfitá naʻe ʻi ai ʻo aʻu mai kia Sione. Mei he taimi ko iá ʻo faai mai, kuo talaki ʻa e ongoongo lelei ʻo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea ʻoku tutui atu ki ai ʻa e faʻahinga kakai kotoa pē.+ 17 Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku faingofua ange ke mole atu ʻa langi mo māmani ʻi ha ʻalu atu taʻefakahoko ha foʻi kohi ʻe taha ʻi he Laó.+

“Pehē foki, naʻe mate ʻa e tangata koloaʻiá pea naʻe tanu. 23 Pea naʻe hanga hake hono matá ʻi Faʻitoka,* ʻokú ne tofanga ʻi he mamahi, ʻo ne sio atu kia ʻĒpalahame ʻi he mamaʻó mo Lāsalosi ʻoku ʻi hono tafaʻakí.* 24 Ko ia naʻá ne ui atu ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE tamai ʻĒpalahame, ʻaloʻofa* mai muʻa kiate au, ʻo fekau ʻa Lāsalosi ke unu hono muʻa tuhú ʻi ha vai ʻo fakamokomoko ʻaki hoku ʻeleló, he ʻoku ou faingataʻaʻia ʻi he afi kakahá ni.’ 25 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ʻĒpalahame, ‘Tama, manatuʻi naʻá ke maʻu kakato hoʻo ngaahi meʻa leleí ʻi hoʻo kei moʻuí, ka naʻe maʻu ʻe Lāsalosi ia ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻe kovi.
