6 Pea naʻe lanu fakapoʻupoʻuli ʻa e kili ʻo e kau Leimaná, ʻo tatau mo e fakaʻilonga kuo ʻai ki heʻenau ngaahi tamaí, ʻa ia ko ha fakamalaʻia kiate kinautolu ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau maumau-fonó pea mo ʻenau angatuʻu ki honau ngaahi tokouá, ʻa ia naʻe kau ai ʻa Nīfai, mo Sēkope, mo Siosefa, pea mo Samu, ʻa ia ko ha kau tangata angatonu mo māʻoniʻoni.
7 Pea naʻe feinga ʻa honau ngaahi tokouá ke fakaʻauha ʻa kinautolu, ko ia naʻe fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻa kinautolu; pea naʻe ʻai ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtuá ha fakaʻilonga kiate kinautolu, ʻio, kia Leimana mo Lēmiuela, kae ʻumaʻā foki mo e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIsimelí, mo e kau fefine ʻo e haʻa ʻIsimelí.
8 Pea naʻe fai ʻeni koeʻuhi ke ʻilonga honau hakó mei he hako ʻo honau ngaahi tokouá, koeʻuhi ke lava ai ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtuá ʻo maluʻi hono kakaí, ke ʻoua naʻa nau fefiofi ʻo tui ki ha ngaahi talatukufakaholo hala ʻa ia ʻe hoko ko honau fakaʻauhaʻangá.
9 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻilonga ia naʻe fio hono hakó mo e hako ʻo e kau Leimaná naʻá ne fakahoko ʻa e malaʻia pē ko iá ki hono hakó.
10 Ko ia, ʻilonga ia naʻá ne tuku ke tohoakiʻi atu ia ʻe he kau Leimaná naʻe ui ia ʻi he hingoa pē ko iá, pea naʻe ʻai ha fakaʻilonga kiate ia.
11 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻilonga ia naʻe ʻikai fie tui ki he talatukufakaholo ʻa e kau Leimaná, ka naʻá ne tui ki he ngaahi lekooti ʻa ia naʻe ʻomi mei he fonua ko Selusalemá, kae ʻumaʻā foki mo e talatukufakaholo ʻa ʻenau ngaahi tamaí, ʻa ia naʻe totonú, ʻa ia naʻe tui ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo nau tauhi ia, naʻe ui ʻa kinautolu ko e kau Nīfaí, pe ko e kakai ʻo Nīfaí, ʻo fai atu mei he taimi ko iá—

13 Ko ʻeni te tau toe foki ki he kau ʻAmelikaí, he naʻe ʻai foki kiate kinautolu ha fakaʻilonga; ʻio, naʻa nau ʻai ʻe kinautolu ʻa e fakaʻilonga kiate kinautolu, ʻio, ko ha fakaʻilonga lanu-kulokula ʻi honau laʻé.
14 Ko ia kuo fakamoʻoniʻi ai ʻa e folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, he ko ʻeni ʻa e ngaahi folofola naʻá ne folofola ʻaki kia Nīfaí: Vakai, kuó u fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻa e kau Leimaná, pea te u ʻai ha fakaʻilonga kiate kinautolu koeʻuhí ke fakamavaheʻi ʻa kinautolu mo honau hakó meiate koe mo ho hakó, ʻo fai atu mei he taimi ko ʻeni ʻo taʻengata, tuku kehe pē ʻo kapau te nau fakatomala mei heʻenau fai angahalá pea tafoki mai kiate au koeʻuhi ke u lava ʻo ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu.

18 Ko ʻeni naʻe ʻikai foki ʻilo ʻe he kau ʻAmelikaí ʻoku nau fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻenau kamata ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻi honau laʻé; ka neongo iá kuo nau angatuʻu fakahāhā ki he ʻOtuá; ko ia naʻe totonu ai ke hoko kiate kinautolu ʻa e malaʻia.
19 Pea ko hoku lotó ke mahino kiate kimoutolu naʻa nau fakahoko pē ʻe kinautolu ʻa e fakamalaʻiá kiate kinautolu; pea ʻoku pehē foki mo hono fakahoko ʻiate ia pē ʻe he tangata kotoa pē kuo fakamalaʻiaʻí ʻa hono fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻoʻoná.
20 Ko ʻeni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē kuo teʻeki ʻosi atu ha ngaahi ʻaho lahi mei he tau naʻe fai ʻi he fonua ko Seilahemalá, ʻe he kau Leimaná mo e kau ʻAmelikaí, naʻe ʻi ai ha toe kau tau ʻe taha ʻo e kau Leimaná naʻe ʻoho mai ki he kakai ʻo Nīfaí, ʻi he potu fonua tatau pē ko ia naʻe fepaki ai ʻa e ʻuluaki kau taú mo e kau ʻAmelikaí.
21 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē naʻe ʻi ai ha kau tau naʻe fekauʻi atu ke tuli ʻa kinautolu mei honau fonuá.
22 Ko ʻeni ko ʻAlamā foki kuó ne faingataʻaʻia ʻi ha kafo, ʻo ʻikai ai te ne ʻalu atu ke tau ʻi he taimi ko iá mo e kau Leimaná;
23 Ka naʻá ne fekau atu ha kau tau tokolahi ke fepaki mo kinautolu; pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu ʻo tāmateʻi ʻa e tokolahi ʻo e kau Leimaná, ʻo tuli hono toe ʻo kinautolú mei he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo honau fonuá.
24 Pea naʻa nau toe liu mai ʻo kamata ke fokotuʻu ʻa e melinó ʻi he fonuá, pea naʻe ʻikai toe fakahohaʻasi ʻa kinautolu ʻe honau ngaahi filí ʻi ha kiʻi taimi siʻi.
25 Ko ʻeni naʻe fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa pē, ʻio, ko e ngaahi taú ni mo e ngaahi fakakikihí naʻe kamata pea naʻe ʻosi ia ʻi hono nima ʻo e taʻu ʻo e pule ʻa e kau fakamāú.
26 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻi he taʻu pē ʻe taha ke ʻalu ʻa e ngaahi laumālie ʻe lau afe mo e lau mano ki he maama taʻengatá, ke nau maʻu ʻa ʻenau ngaahi totongí ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau ngaahi ngāué, pe kuo lelei ia pe kuo kovi ia, ke utu ʻa e fiefia taʻengatá pe ko e mamahi taʻengatá, ʻo fakatatau ki he laumālie naʻa nau fie talangofua ki aí, pe ko ha laumālie lelei ia pe ko ha laumālie kovi.
27 He ʻoku maʻu ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻa e totongi meiate ia ʻokú ne fie talangofua ki aí, pea ʻoku tatau ʻeni mo e ngaahi lea ʻa e laumālie ʻo e kikité; ko ia tuku ke hoko ia ʻo fakatatau ki he moʻoní. Pea naʻe ngata pehē hono nima taʻu ʻo e pule ʻa e kau fakamāú.
