Naʻe pehē ai:
4 “Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí, ki he kakai kotoa kuo ʻave fakamālohí, ʻa ia naʻá ku ʻai ke ʻave fakamālohi mei Selusalema ki Pāpiloné, 5 ‘Mou langa fale pea nofo ai. Tō ha ngaahi ngoue pea kai hono fuá. 6 Mou maʻu uaifi pea maʻu mo ha ngaahi foha mo ha ngaahi ʻofefine; ʻomi ha ngaahi uaifi maʻa homou ngaahi fohá pea foaki atu homou ngaahi ʻofefiné ʻi he mali, koeʻuhí ke nau maʻu foki mo ha ngaahi foha mo ha ngaahi ʻofefine.

Kuo ʻikai te u fekauʻi atu kinautolu,’+ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.”’”
10 “He ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihová, ‘ʻI he kakato ʻa e taʻu ʻe 70 ʻi Pāpiloné, te u fai ha tokanga kiate kimoutolu,+ pea te u fakahoko ʻa ʻeku talaʻofá ʻaki ʻeku fakafoki mai kimoutolu ki he feituʻú ni.’+
11 “‘He ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi lelei ʻa e ngaahi fakakaukau ʻoku ou fakakaukau ʻaki kiate kimoutolú,’ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, ‘ko e ngaahi fakakaukau ʻo e melino, ʻo ʻikai ko ha kovi,+ ke ʻoatu kiate kimoutolu ha kahaʻu pea mo ha ʻamanaki.+ 12 Pea te mou ui kiate au mo mou omi ʻo lotu kiate au, pea te u fanongo kiate kimoutolu.’+

15 “Ka kuo mou pehē, ‘Kuo fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ia haʻamau kau palōfita ʻi Pāpilone.’
16 “He ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ki he tuʻi ʻoku nofo ʻi he taloni ʻo Tēvitá+ pea ki he kakai kotoa ʻoku nofo ʻi he koló ni, ʻa homou fanga tokoua kuo ʻikai ke ʻave fakamālohi fakataha mo kimoutolú, 17 ‘Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau: “Ko eni ʻoku ou tuku atu kiate kinautolu ʻa e heletā, honge, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha,*+ pea te u ʻai kinautolu ke nau hangē ha ngaahi foʻi fiki pala* ʻa ia ʻoku kovi ʻaupito ʻo ʻikai lava ke kaí.”’+
18 “‘Pea te u tuli kiate kinautolu mo e heletā,+ honge, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha, pea te u ʻai kinautolu ke nau hoko ko ha meʻa ke fakalilifuʻia ai ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa ʻo e māmaní,+ ko ha fakatātā ʻe ngāueʻaki ʻi ha talatuki, pea ko ha meʻa ke fai ai ha ofo, ko ha meʻa ke fai ha manuki* ki ai,+ pea mo ha lumaʻanga ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa ʻoku ou fakamovete kinautolu ki aí,+ 19 koeʻuhí kuo ʻikai te nau fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea naʻá ku tuku atu kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻeku kau sevāniti ko e kau palōfitá,’ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, ‘ʻo u toutou fekauʻi* atu kinautolu.’+
“‘Ka kuo ʻikai te mou fanongo,’+ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
20 “Ko ia ai, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihová, ʻa kimoutolu ʻa e kakai kotoa naʻe ʻave fakamālohí, ʻa ia naʻá ku tuku atu mei Selusalema ki Pāpiloné. 21 Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí, ʻo fekauʻaki mo ʻĒhapi ko e foha ʻo Kolaiá, pea fekauʻaki mo Setekaia ko e foha ʻo Māseiá, ʻa ia ʻokú na fai ʻa e ngaahi kikite loi kiate kimoutolu ʻi hoku hingoá,+ ‘Ko eni ʻoku ou tuku atu kinaua ki he nima ʻo Tuʻi Nepukanesa* ʻo Pāpiloné, pea te ne taaʻi kinaua ʻi homou ʻaó. 22 Pea ko e meʻa ʻe hoko kiate kinauá ʻe hoko ia ko ha mala ʻe leaʻaki ʻe he kau ʻave fakamālohi kotoa ʻo Siuta ʻi Pāpiloné: “Fakatauange ke ʻai koe ʻe Sihova ke ke hangē ko Setekaiá pea hangē ko ʻĒhapí, ʻa ia naʻe tunu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Pāpiloné ʻi he afí!” 23 He kuó na fai ha tōʻonga fakamā ʻi ʻIsileli,+ ʻi hono fai ʻa e tono mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻo hona ngaahi kaungāʻapí pea fai ʻa e ngaahi lea loi ʻi hoku hingoá ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai te u tuʻutuʻuni kiate kinaua.+
“‘“Ko au ʻa e Tokotaha ʻoku ou ʻiloʻí, pea ko au ʻa e fakamoʻoní,”+ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.’”
24 “Pea te ke lea kia Semaia+ ʻo Nehelamí ʻo pehē, 25 ‘Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí: “Koeʻuhí ko hoʻo ʻoatu ʻa e ngaahi tohi ʻi ho hingoá ki he kakai kotoa ʻi Selusalemá, kia Sēfanaia+ ko e taulaʻeikí ko e foha ʻo Māseiá, mo e kotoa ʻo e kau taulaʻeikí, ʻo pehē, 26 ‘Kuo ʻai koe ʻe Sihova ke ke taulaʻeiki ʻo fetongi ʻa Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeikí ʻo ke hoko ko e pule ʻo e fale ʻo Sihová, ke ke puleʻi ha tangata vale pē ʻokú ne ʻai ʻene tōʻongá ke hangē ha palōfitá peá ke tuku ia ki he ʻakau-kīʻí pea ki he papa tauteaʻangá;*+ 27 ko e hā leva kuo ʻikai te ke valokiʻi ai ʻa Selemaia ʻo ʻAnatotí,+ ʻa ia ʻokú ne ʻai ʻene tōʻongá ke hangē ha palōfitá kiate kimoutolú?+ 28 He naʻe aʻu ʻo ne fai mai ha fekau kiate kimautolu ki Pāpilone, ʻo pehē: “ʻE fuoloa ia!
