"24Pea na‘a nau tutu ‘a e kolo ‘aki ‘a e afi, mo e me‘a kotoa pē na‘e ‘i ai: ngata pē ‘i he siliva mo e koula, mo e nāunau na‘e kapa pe ‘aione, na‘a nau tuku ia ki he falekoloa ‘i he fale ‘o Sihova. 25Pea ko Lēhapi ko e fefine fe‘auaki, pea mo e fale ‘o ‘ene tamai mo ia kotoa pē na‘e ‘iate ia, na‘e fakamo‘ui ‘e Siosiua; pea kuo ne nofo ‘i he lotolotonga ‘o ‘Isileli ‘o a‘u ki he ‘aho ni; koe‘uhi ko ‘ene fufū ‘a e ongo talafekau na‘e tuku atu ‘e Siosiua ke mataki‘i ‘a Sielikō. 26Pea lea tuki ‘a Siosiua ‘i he taimi ko ia, ‘o pehē, Ke mala‘ia ‘i he ‘ao ‘o Sihova ‘a e tangata te ne hanga ‘o toe langa kolo ‘a Sielikō ni: Te ne fai‘aki hono ‘uluaki ‘a e tanupou, Pea te ne fokotu‘u ‘aki hono foha kimui ‘a e matanikolo. 27Ko ia na‘e kau ‘a e ‘Eiki mo Siosiua, pea na‘e pavake hono ongoongo ki he fonua kotoa."

KO SELIKOÓ NAʻE FAKAHALAʻIAʻI IA. Naʻe fai eni ʻe Siosiua ʻi heʻene pehē “Ke malaʻia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻa e tangata te ne hanga ʻo toe langa kolo ʻa Seliko ni” He naʻe ʻikai ngata pe ʻi hono holoki pea mo hono tutú ka naʻe toe fai ʻa hono tala tukiʻi. Pea ko e fai eni ki he kakai ʻo ʻIsilelí pea mo honau kakai ʻi he kahaʻú ke ʻoua naʻa toe langa ʻa e koló ni. Pea ko e fakanofonofo faka-ʻOtua eni ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e mamafa ʻo ha fakamalaʻia fakaʻOtuá pea ʻi ai ʻi hono toenga heʻikai ha fiemalie ʻi ai pe maʻu mei ai, k ate ne ʻomai pe ʻa e ʻauha taʻe fakamolemole pe toe fakatoe. Ko e mala ni ʻoku ʻikai ko ha mala taʻe ʻi ai hano tupuʻanga, ka naʻe haʻu ia mei he tangata ʻi eh fuʻu taimi loloa, hili ʻene toe langa ʻa Selikoó (1 Tuʻi 16:34). Hili ʻa e taʻu ʻe nima ngeau mei he tukitalaʻi ko eni naʻe fai ʻe Siosiua ki Selikoó, naʻe toe langa ʻe Seliko ʻi he taimi ʻo e tuʻi ʻIsileli ko ʻEhapi, naʻa ne fakahouhauʻi ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua. Ko e tangata ko Hieli naʻa ne fai ʻa e langá pea ʻi he kamata ʻa e langá naʻe mate ʻa hono foha lahí pea ʻi heʻene ʻosi ʻa e langá naʻe mate hono foha siʻisiʻi tahá ʻo hangē ko e tuʻutuʻuni ʻa Sihová naʻe fakahā mai ʻia Siosiua. ʻOku fakatuʻutamaki ʻa e feinga ke langa ʻa e meʻa ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe he ʻOtuá (Mal 1:4) ko ha kakai ʻoku houhau taʻengata ki ai ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOku ʻikai ke tau fakakaukau ko hono ngaohi ʻo e feituʻú ʻoku kovi ange ʻi hono fai ʻo e langá pea te ne fakalaveaʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻoku nau nofo ai. He ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻa Seliko hili hono fakakelesiʻi naʻe ʻi ai ʻa ʻIlaisia mo ʻIlaisa, ka ko hotaua fakamoʻui naʻe ʻi ai (Lk 18:35 ; 19:1, Mt20:29).

Ko e kotoa ko eni hono hakeakiʻi ʻo Siosiua mo e pavake atu hono ongoongo. ʻO ne ngaohi ia ʻo ʻikai ko hono tali pe ʻe ʻIsileli ka naʻa ne ueʻi ʻa e loto ʻo e kau Kenaní koeʻuhi ko ʻene hā ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ʻOtua ʻo e moʻoni. Ko e folofola ʻa Sihová ʻoku ʻiate ia neongo ko Kalaisi ia ka naʻa ne tatau pe mo Mosese. ʻOku halaʻatā ha meʻa ʻoku na lava ʻo fakapavake atu ha ongoongo ʻo ha tangata pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ke ne lava ʻo fakahaaʻi ia ʻa e lahi ʻo e moʻoni ʻi he ngaahi fakamoʻoni ʻo e lotolotonga ʻa e ʻOTuá ʻoku ʻi he tokotaha ko iá ʻo hangē ko eni ʻia Siosiua, pea ʻoku tau ʻatā kotoa ki ai ʻi he ʻetau ʻia Kalaisi, pea ʻi Hano Laumaile Maʻoniʻoni ʻo tau fakamoʻoni ai ʻa e maʻa hotau ʻOtua ʻofaʻangá.
