22 Bea moe baaga kehe kuo mau omi ke fakatau meakai: oku ikai te mau ilo be kohai naa ne ai e mau baaga ki he e mau tagai.

23 Bea behe eia, Mou fiemalie, oua te mou manavahe: ko ho mou Otua, moe Otua o hoo mou tamai naa ne tuku koloa maa moutolu, ki hoo mou tagai: nae iate au hoo mou baaga. Bea naa ne omi a Simione kiate kinautolu.

24 Bea omi e he tagata ae kau tagata ki he fale o Josefa, o ne atu e nau vai, bea fufulu ho nau va‘e; bea naa ne atu ae meakai ki he e nau faga asi.

25 Bea naa nau teuteu ae meaofa o tali ae ha‘u ki abi a Josefa i he hoata: he naa nau fanogo te nau kai ma i ai.

¶ 26 Bea kuo ha‘u a Josefa ki abi, naa nau omi kiate ia ki fale ae meaofa nae i ho nau nima, o nau tulolo akinautolu kiate ia ki he kelekele.

27 Bea fehui ia kiate kinautolu be oku nau fefe, o ne behe, Oku lelei hoo mou tamai, ae tagata motua naa mou lea ki ai? oku kei moui ia?

28 Bea nau talaage, Ko hoo tamaioeiki koe mau tamai oku mālōlō be, oku kei moui ia. Bea naa nau tulolo ho nau ulu o nau hu.

29 Bea naa ne haga hake hono mata o mamata ki hono tehina ko Benijimani, ae tama a ene fa‘e, o ne behe, Ko ho mou tehina eni, aia naa mou lea ki ai? bea behe eia, Ko hoku foha, ke ofa ae Otua kiate koe.

30 Bea fakatootoo e Josefa, he nae gau‘e lahi hono fatu ki hono tehina: bea naa ne kumi ha botu ke tagi ai; bea hu ia ki hono loki, bea tagi ai.

31 Bea naa ne kaukau hono mata, bea alu ki tua, bea ne fakama‘uma‘u eia ia, bea ne behe, Ke mou teu mai ae kai.

32 Bea naa nau teuteu maana toko taha be, bea  teu kehe maa nautolu, bea ai kehe ki he kakai Ijibite nae kai mo kinautolu; koeuhi nae ikai kai ae kakai Ijibite o fakataha moe kakai Hebelu; he koe mea ia nae fakalilia ai ae kakai Ijibite.

33 Bea nae fakanofo akinautolu i hono ao, koe uluaki o fakatatau ki kono fanau‘i, moe kimui o fakatatau hi he ene jii; bea nae feofoaki be ae kau tagata.

34 Bea nae too o age e nau meakai mei hono ao: ka koe mea a Benijimani, nae tuo nima hono lahi hake i he e nau mea. Bea naa nau inu mo nau fiefia mo ia.
