18 Pea naʻe toe hoko mai ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihová kiate au, ʻo pehē:
2 “ʻOku ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e palōveepi ko eni ʻoku mou leaʻaki ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsilelí, ‘Kuo kai kālepi mahi ʻa e ngaahi tamaí, kae maninia ai ʻa e nifo ʻo e ngaahi fohá’?+
3 “‘ʻOku ou fuakava ʻiate au,’* ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe he ʻEiki Hau ko Sihová, ‘heʻikai ke toe hoko atu hoʻomou leaʻaki ʻa e lea ko ení ʻi ʻIsileli.
4 Vakai! Ko e moʻui kotoa pē—ʻoku ʻaʻaku ia. Hangē ko e moʻui ʻa e tamaí ʻoku pehē pē foki ʻa e moʻui ʻa e fohá—ʻoku ʻaʻaku ia. Ko e tokotaha ko ia ʻoku faiangahalá ko ia ia ʻe maté.
5 “‘Fakakaukauloto atu ki ha tangata ʻoku māʻoniʻoni mo ne fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku totonu mo tonú.
