21 Pea kapau ʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí—Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo ngaahi angahalá ʻe motuhi atu koe mei hoku ʻaó—kuo pau te ne fakahoko ia.

22 Pea ʻe malaʻia ia te ne folofola ʻaki ʻeni ki aí, he ʻe hoko ia ki he tokotaha ʻe fai angahalá, pea ʻe ʻikai lava ke fakamoʻui ia; ko ia, ko hono ʻuhinga ʻeni kuo fakahā ai ʻa e fakatomalá, koeʻuhi ke lava ʻo fakamoʻui ʻa e tangatá.

23 Ko ia, ʻoku monūʻia ʻa kinautolu te nau fakatomala pea tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo e ʻEiki ko honau ʻOtuá; he ko e faʻahinga ʻeni ʻe fakamoʻuí.

24 Pea ʻofa ke tuku ʻe he ʻOtuá, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fuʻu māʻoniʻoní, ke fakatafoki ʻa e tangatá ki he fakatomalá mo e ngaahi ngāue leleí, koeʻuhi ke lava ʻo fakafoki ʻa kinautolu ki he ʻaloʻofa koeʻuhi ko e ʻaloʻofa, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau ngaahi ngāué.
