8 Koeni, kabau te mou fakamooni ki he fono fakaeiki, o fakatatau ki he tohi, Ke ke ofa ki ho kaugaabi o hage be ko koe, oku mou fai lelei ai:

9 Ka oka mou ka filifilimanako ki he kakai, oku mou fai agahala ai, bea oku fakahalaia akimoutolu e he fono koe kau talagataa.

10 He ko ia te ne fai kotoabe ae fono, kae hala i hono mea e taha, oku halaia ia i hono mea kotoabe.

11 He ko ia ia nae behe, Oua naa ke tono fefine, nae behe foki eia, Oua naa ke fakabo. Koeni, kabau e ikai te ke tono fefine, ka ke fakabo, kuo ke hoko koe maumau fono.

20 Ka oku ke loto ke ke ilo, e tagata vale, koe tui tae i ai ae gaahi gaue, oku mate ia?

21 Ikai nae fakatonuhia‘i e he gaahi gaue ae tau tamai ko Ebalahame, i he ene o hake a Aisake ko hono foha i he fuga ejifeilaulau?

22 Oku ke mamata ki he gaue oe tui i he ene gaahi gaue, bea nae fakahaohaoa ae tui e he gaahi gaue?

26 He oku hage oku mate ae jino tae i ai ae laumalie, oku behe ae tui tae i ai ae gaahi gaue, oku mate foki ia.
