4 Neʼe toe haʼu te ʼaselo ʼae neʼe ma palalau ʼo fafagu au, ohage ko te fafagu ʼo he tahi neʼe moe. 2 Neʼe ina fehuʼi mai: “Kotea ʼae ʼe ke sio ki ai?”

Neʼe au tali age: “ ʼE au sio ki he tuʼulaga malama aulo+ pea ʼe ʼi ai he ipu ʼi ʼoluga. ʼE ko malama ʼe fitu ʼo te tuʼulaga malama,+ ʼei ko malama ʼe fitu pea ko te ʼu malama ʼae ʼi ʼoluga ʼe ʼi ai ʼonatou kiʼi haliʼaga ʼe fitu. 3 Pea ʼe tuʼu ovi ki ai te ʼu fuʼu oliveto ʼe lua,+ ko te tahi ʼi te faʼahi mataʼu ʼo te ipu pea ko te tahi ʼi tona faʼahi hema.”

4 Pea neʼe au fehuʼi ki te ʼaselo ʼae neʼe ma palalau: “Siʼoku ʼaliki, kotea ʼae ʼe fakata e te ʼu meʼa ʼaia?” 5 Neʼe ui mai e te ʼaselo ʼae neʼe ma palalau: “ ʼE mole ke iloʼi koa la pe ʼe fakata kitea te ʼu meʼa ʼaia?”

Neʼe au tali age: “Kailoa ia, siʼoku ʼaliki.”

6 Pea neʼe ina ui mai: “Koʼeni te meʼa ʼae ʼe ui e Sehova kia Solopapele: ‘ “ ʼE mole hoko anai te ʼu meʼa ʼaia ʼaki he ʼu malohi fakasolia peʼe ʼaki he malohi fakatagata,+ kae ʼaki toku laumalie,”+ ko te ui ʼaia ʼa Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau. 7 Ko ai ia koe, moʼuga lahi? ʼE ke liliu anai ia muʼa ʼo Solopapele+ ko he potu fenua laulelei.+ Pea ʼe ina ʼaumai anai te maka maʼuhiga ʼae ʼi ʼoluga, kae ʼe kalaga te hahaʼi: “ ʼI meʼa matalelei leva! ʼI meʼa matalelei leva!” ’ ”

8 Neʼe toe palalau mai ia Sehova ʼo ina ui mai: 9 “Neʼe ko te ʼu nima ʼo Solopapele ʼae neʼe ina fakatuʼu te ʼu fakatafito ʼo te fale ʼaeni,+ pea ʼe ko ʼona nima ʼae ka ina fakaʼosi.”+ Pea ʼe kotou iloʼi moʼoni anai ʼe ko Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau ʼae neʼe ina fekauʼi mai au kia koutou. 10 “ ʼAua naʼa kotou meʼa noaʼi te ʼaho ʼae neʼe kamata laga mamalie ai te fale ʼaia.*+ ʼE moʼoni, ʼe natou fakafiafia anai pea mo sisio anai ki te filo ʼae ʼe tautau ai he foʼi pulu* ʼi te nima ʼo Solopapele. Ko te ʼu mata ʼaia ʼe fitu ʼe ko te ʼu mata ʼo Sehova ʼae ʼe taka ʼi te kele katoa.”+

11 Pea neʼe au fehuʼi age ki ai: “Kotea ʼae ʼe fakata e te ʼu fuʼu oliveto ʼe lua ʼae ʼi te faʼahi mataʼu pea mo te faʼahi hema ʼo te tuʼulaga malama?”+ 12 Neʼe au toe fai age te fehuʼi: “Kotea ʼae ʼe fakata e te ʼu vaʼa* ʼo te ʼu fuʼu oliveto ʼe lua ʼae ʼe hali mai ai te lolo ʼi te ʼu haliʼaga aulo ʼe lua?”

13 Pea neʼe ina fehuʼi mai: “ ʼE mole ke iloʼi koa la pe ʼe fakata kitea te ʼu meʼa ʼaia?”

Neʼe au tali age: “Kailoa ia, siʼoku ʼaliki.”

14 Neʼe ina tali mai: “ ʼE ko tagata ʼe toko lua neʼe fakanofo pea ʼe tutuʼu ovi ki te ʼAliki ʼo te kele katoa.”+
