9 Pea naʻá ne kalanga leʻo-lahi ʻo fanongo ki ai hoku telingá, ʻo pehē: “Ui mai ʻa e faʻahinga te nau fakahoko ʻa e tauteá ʻi he koló, ko e tokotaha taki taha ke ne toʻo ʻene meʻatau ki he fakaʻauhá ʻi hono nimá!”
2 Naʻá ku sio ki ha kau tangata ʻe toko ono ʻoku nau haʻu mei he feituʻu ʻo e matapā ʻi ʻolunga+ ʻa ia ʻoku hanga ki he tokelaú, ʻoku toʻo mai ʻe he tokotaha taki taha ʻene meʻatau ki he laikí ʻi hono nimá; pea naʻe ʻi ai mo e tangata ʻe taha ʻi honau lotolotongá naʻá ne tui ha kofu līneni, naʻe ʻi hono kongalotó ha meʻatui ʻaiʻanga vaitohi ʻa ha sekelitali,* pea naʻa nau hū mai ʻo tuʻu ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo e ʻōlita kopá.+
3 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí+ mei he feituʻu naʻe ʻi ai ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ongo selupimí ʻo ne ʻalu ki he hūʻanga ʻo e matapā ʻo e falé,+ peá ne kamata ui atu ki he tangata naʻe kofu līnení, ʻa ia naʻe ʻi hono kongalotó ʻa e meʻatui ʻaiʻanga vaitohi ʻa e sekelitalí. 4 Naʻe folofola ange ʻa Sihova kiate ia: “Laka atu ki he loto koló, ki loto Selusalema, ʻo ʻai ha fakaʻilonga ʻi he laʻe ʻo e kau tangata ʻoku nau māpuhoi mo toʻe+ koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia kotoa ʻoku fai ʻi he koló.”+
5 Pea naʻá ne folofola ki he niʻihi ko ē ʻo u fanongo ki ai: “Mou laka atu ʻi he koló ʻo muimui ʻiate ia ʻo taaʻi ʻa e kakaí. ʻOua naʻa mou mataʻi fakaʻofaʻia, pea ʻoua naʻa ʻi ai haʻamou ongoʻi manavaʻofa.+ 6 Ko e tangata taʻumotuʻa, mo e talavou, mo e taʻahine kei nofo anga-maʻa, mo ha kiʻi tama kei siʻi, mo e kakai fefiné te mou tāmateʻi fakaʻaufuli kinautolu.+ Ka heʻikai te mou fakaofiofi ki ha tangata ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e fakaʻilongá.+ Te mou kamata mei hoku feituʻu toputapú.”+ Ko ia naʻa nau kamata ʻi he kau mātuʻa naʻa nau ʻi he mata falé.+ 7 Naʻá ne folofola ange leva kiate kinautolu: “Mou ʻuliʻi ʻa e falé pea fakafonu ʻa e ongo lotoʻaá ʻaki ʻa e faʻahinga kuo maté.+ Mou ʻalu!” Ko ia naʻa nau ʻalu atu ʻo taaʻi ʻa e kakai ʻi he koló.
8 ʻI he lolotonga ʻenau taaʻi kinautolú, ko au toko taha pē naʻe toé, pea naʻá ku tō foʻohifo peá u kalanga: “ʻOiauē, ʻe ʻEiki Hau Sihova! Te ke fakaʻauha koā ʻa e toenga kotoa ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻi he lolotonga ʻa hoʻo huaʻi hifo hoʻo houhau kakahá ki Selusalemá?”+
9 Ko ia naʻá ne folofola mai kiate au: “Ko e faihala ʻa e fale ʻo ʻIsileli mo Siutá ʻoku fuʻu lahi ʻaupito.+ ʻOku fonu ʻa e fonuá ʻi he lingitotó,+ pea ʻoku fonu ʻa e koló ʻi he kākaá.+ He ʻoku nau pehē, ‘Kuo liʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa e fonuá, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke sio mai ʻa Sihova.’+ 10 Ka ko au, ʻe ʻikai haʻaku mataʻi fakaʻofaʻia; pea heʻikai te u fakahaaʻi ha manavaʻofa.+ Ko e ngaahi nunuʻa ʻo honau ʻalungá te u hilifaki ia ki honau tumuʻakí.”
11 Pea naʻá ku sio ki he tangata naʻe kofu līneni pea naʻe ʻi hono kongalotó ʻa e meʻatui ʻaiʻanga vaitohí, naʻá ne foki mai mo ha fakamatala, ʻo pehē: “Kuó u fai ʻa e meʻa tofu pē ko ia naʻá ke tuʻutuʻuni mai kiate aú.”
