9 “Pea ko koe Solomone, ʻa hoku foha, ke ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo tamaí pea tauhi kiate ia ʻaki ha loto kakato*+ pea ʻaki ha loto-fiefia,* he ʻoku hakule ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi loto kotoa pē,+ pea ʻokú ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e hehema kotoa pē ʻo e ngaahi fakakaukaú.+ Kapau te ke kumi kiate ia, te ne fakaʻatā atu ke ke ʻiloʻi ia,+ ka ʻo kapau te ke liʻaki ia, te ne siʻaki koe ʻo taʻengata.+

2 Ko ia naʻá ne ʻalu atu ke fakafetaulaki kia ʻAsa peá ne pehē ange kiate ia: “Fanongo mai, ʻe ʻAsa mo Siuta pea mo Penisimani kotoa! ʻE kau ʻa Sihova mo kimoutolu lolotonga hoʻomou nofo maʻu ʻiate iá;+ pea kapau te mou kumi kiate ia, te ne tuku ke mou ʻilo ia,+ ka ʻo kapau te mou liʻaki ia, te ne liʻaki kimoutolu.+

19 Pea naʻe foki lelei*+ ʻa Tuʻi Sihosafate ʻo Siutá ki hono fale* ʻoʻoná ki Selusalema.

3 Ka neongo ia, kuo ʻilo ʻa e ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻiate koe,+ koeʻuhí naʻá ke toʻo atu ʻa e ngaahi pou ʻakau toputapú* mei he fonuá pea kuó ke teuʻi ho lotó* ke kumi ki he ʻOtua moʻoní.”+

 6 Kumi kia Sihova lolotonga ʻoku ala maʻú.+

Ui kiate ia lolotonga ʻene ofi maí.+

12 He ko e fofonga ʻo Sihová* ʻoku ʻi he kau māʻoniʻoní, pea ʻoku fanongo hono telingá ki heʻenau hū tōtōakí,+ ka ʻoku siʻaki ʻe he fofonga ʻo Sihová* ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku koví.”+
