1 Pea ko ʻeni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he maʻu pē ʻe ʻAmalekaia ʻa e puleʻangá naʻá ne kamata ke fakatupu ʻa e ʻita ʻa e kau Leimaná ki he kakai ʻo Nīfaí; ʻio, naʻá ne fili ha kau tangata ke malanga ki he kau Leimaná mei honau ngaahi tauá, ʻo lauʻikoviʻi ʻa e kau Nīfaí.

11 Pea ko ha tangata sino mālohi mo kaukaua ʻa Molonai; ko ha tangata ia naʻá ne maʻu ʻa e ^aʻilo haohaoa, ʻio, ko ha tangata naʻe ʻikai ke manako ki he lilingi totó; ko ha tangata naʻe fiefia hono laumālié ʻi he taʻehaʻisia mo e tauʻatāina ʻa hono fonuá, mo hono kāinga mei he nofo pōpulá mo e nofo hopoaté;

17 ʻIo, ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, kapau kuo tatau, pe ʻoku tatau, pe ʻe tatau ʻa e kakai kotoa pē mo Molonai, vakai, kuo luluʻi ai ʻo taʻengata ʻa e ngaahi mālohi ʻo helí; ʻio, kuo ʻikai maʻu ʻe he ^atēvoló ha mālohi ki he loto ʻo e fānau ʻa e tangatá.

18 Vakai, ko e tangata ia naʻe hangē ko ʻĀmoni, ko e foha ʻo Mōsaiá, ʻio, pea mo e ngaahi foha kehe foki ʻo Mōsaiá, ʻio, kae ʻumaʻā foki ʻa ʻAlamā mo hono ngaahi fohá, he ko e kau tangata kinautolu kotoa pē ʻa e ʻOtuá.

20 Pea ko ia naʻa nau ʻalu atu, pea naʻe ^afakavaivaiʻi ʻe he kakaí ʻa kinautolu koeʻuhi ko ʻenau ngaahi leá, ʻo aʻu ki hono fuʻu ^bʻofeina lahi ai ʻa kinautolu ʻe he ʻEikí, pea ko ia naʻa nau tauʻatāina ai mei he ngaahi tau mo e ngaahi fakakikihi ʻiate kinautolú, ʻio, ʻi he taʻu ʻe fā.

21 Kae, hangē ko ia ko ʻeku leá, ʻi he konga ki mui ʻo e taʻu hono hongofulu mā hivá, ʻio, neongo ʻenau nofo melino ʻiate kinautolú, naʻe faʻa fakamālohiʻi kinautolu ke nau tau taʻeloto pē mo honau kāinga, ko e kau Leimaná.
