7 Kae neʼe ui e Sehova kia Samuele: “ ʼAua naʼa ke tokagaʼi tona agaaga pea mo tona lahi,+ he ʼe kua au liʼaki ia ia. Koteʼuhi ko te sio ʼa te tagata ʼe mole hage ko te sio ʼa te ʼAtua, he ʼe sio pe te tagata ki te ʼu meʼa ʼae ʼe ha ki ʼona mata, kae ʼe sio ia Sehova ki te loto.”+

3 “Sehova e, fakalelei siʼou loto, ʼe au kole atu ke ke manatuʼi neʼe au haʼele agatonu ʼi ʼou muʼa mo he loto katoa, pea neʼe au fai te ʼu meʼa ʼae ʼe lelei ki ʼou mata.”+ Pea neʼe tagi mamahi ai ia Esekiasi.

17 Siʼoku ʼAtua, ʼe au iloʼi lelei ʼe ke sivisivi te ʼu loto+ pea ʼe ke fiafia moka agatonu* he tahi.+ Neʼe au foaki atu te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼaeni ʼaki he lotolelei pea mo he loto ʼe faitotonu,* pea ʼe au fiafia ʼaupito ʼi taku sio ki te foaki atu e tau hahaʼi ʼaeni te ʼu meʼa ʼofa ʼaki he lotolelei.
