6 Te mou fakatau meakai meiate kinautolu aki ae baaga, ke mou kai; bea te mou fakatau vai iate kinautolu aki ae baaga, ke mou inu.

7 He ko Jihova ko ho Otua kuo ne tabuaki‘i koe i he gaahi gaue kotoabe a ho nima: oku ne afio‘i ho eveeva i he toafa lahi ni: i he ta‘u e fagofulu ni nae iate koe a Jihova ko ho Otua; nae ikai te ke majiva i ha mea e taha.

20 (Nae ui ia foki koe fonua oe gaahi kakai lalahi: nae nofo ai i mu‘a ae kakai lalahi; bea nae ui akinautolu e he kau Amoni, koe kau Samisumima;

21 Koe kakai lalahi, mo toko lahi, mo loloa, o hage koe kau Anaki: ka nae fakaauha akinautolu e Jihova i ho nau ao; bea naa nau togia akinautolu o nofo i ho nau fonua:

22 Hage koia naa ne fai ki he fānau a Isoa, aia nae nofo i Seia, i he ene fakaauha ae kakai Hoa mei ho nau ao; bea naa nau togia akinautolu, bea nofo i ho nau fonua o a‘u ki he aho ni:

23 Bea koe kakai Avi nae nofo i Heselimi, o a‘u ki Kesa, koe kau Kafitoli ni, aia nae ha‘u mei Kafitoli, nae fakaauha akinautolu, o nofo i ho nau fonua.)

¶ 24 Mou tuu hake, o fai ho mou fonoga, bea aa i he vaitafe ko Alanoni: vakai, kuou tuku ki ho nima a Sihoni koe Amoli, koe tu‘i o Hesiboni, mo hono fonua: mou fai ae kamata ma‘u leva ia, bea ke tau mo ia.

¶ 26 Bea neu fekau ae kau tagata fekau mei he toafa o Ketimote, kia Sihoni koe tu‘i o Hesiboni moe gaahi lea oe melino, o behe,

27 Tuku keu alu atu i ho fonua: Teu alu atu be i he hala motua, e ikai teu tafoki ki he nima toomatau be ki he toohema.

28 Bea te ke fakatau ae meakai kiate au aki ae baaga, koeuhi keu kai; bea tuku mai ha vai i he eku baaga keu inu: kae kehe keu alu i ho fonua i hoku va‘e be:

29 (Hage koia nae fai kiate au e he fānau a Isoa nae nofo i Seia, moe kau Moabe nae nofo i Ala;) ke oua keu aa atu i Joatani ki he fonua oku foaki e Jihova ko ho mau Otua kiate kimautolu.

30 Ka nae ikai tuku akitautolu e Sihoni koe tu‘i o Hesiboni, ke tau alu ofi kiate ia; he nae fakafefeka hono laumalie e Jihova ko ho Otua, o gaohi hono loto ke talagataa, koeuhi ke ne tukuage ia ki ho nima, o hage koia kuo ha he aho ni.

31 Bea nae behe e Jihova kiate au, Vakai, kuou kamata tuku a Sihoni mo hono fonua i ho ao: ke ke kamata ma‘u, koeuhi ke ke hoko o ma‘u hono fonua.

32 Bea nae toki ha‘u kitua a Sihoni o tuu kiate kitautolu, aia mo hono kakai kotoabe, ke tau i Jehasi.

33 Bea nae tuku mai ia i ho tau ao e Jihova, ko ho tau Otua; bea naa tau ta‘i ia, mo hono gaahi foha, mo ene kakai kotoabe.

34 Bea naa tau ma‘u ene gaahi kolo i he kuoga koia, bea naa tau fakaauha ae kau tagata kotoabe, moe kau fefine, bea moe fānau iki i he kolo kotoabe; nae ikai te tau tuku ha niihi ke toe:
