7 Naʻe folofola leva ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua: “ʻI he ʻahó ni te u kamata hakeakiʻi ai koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsilelí kotoa,+ koeʻuhí ke nau ʻiloʻi ai te u ʻiate koe+ ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ʻeku ʻia Mōsesé.+ 8 Te ke fai ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni ko ení ki he kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku nau fua ʻa e ʻaʻake ʻo e fuakavá: ‘ʻI hoʻomou aʻu pē ki he vai ʻo Sioataní, te mou tuʻu maʻu ʻi Sioatani.’”+

9 Pea naʻe pehē ange ʻe Siosiua ki he kau ʻIsilelí: “Mou omi ki heni ʻo fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá.” 10 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Siosiua: “ʻI he meʻá ni te mou ʻilo ai ʻoku ʻi homou lotolotongá+ ha ʻOtua moʻui, pea te ne mātuʻaki kapusi mei homou ʻaó ʻa e kau Kēnaní, ko e kau Hetí, ko e kau Heví, ko e kau Pēlisí, ko e kau Keakasá, ko e kau ʻĀmolí, pea mo e kau Siepusí.+ 11 Vakai! Ko e ʻaʻake ʻo e fuakava ʻa e ʻEiki ʻo e māmaní kotoa ʻoku muʻomuʻa ia ʻiate kimoutolu ki Sioatani. 12 Ko eni mou ʻave ha kau tangata ʻe toko 12 mei he ngaahi matakali ʻo ʻIsilelí, ko e tangata ʻe taha ki he matakali taki taha,+ 13 pea ʻi he pā* pē ʻa e ʻaofivaʻe ʻo e kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku nau fua ʻa e ʻAʻake ʻa Sihová, ʻa e ʻEiki ʻo e māmaní kotoa, ki he vai ʻo Sioataní, ko e vai ko ia ʻo Sioatani ʻoku tafe mei he matavaí ʻe tuʻu, pea ʻe tuʻu maʻu ia ʻo hangē ko ha holisi taʻofiʻanga vaí.”*+
