"1KO E taimi ko ia na‘e ‘ikai ai ha tu‘i ‘i ‘Isileli: pea ko e taimi ko ia na‘e kumi ai ‘e he matakali ‘o Tani hanau tofi‘a ke nofo ai; he kuo te‘eki ke tō hanau tofi‘a ‘i he lotolotonga ‘o e ngaahi matakali ‘o ‘Isileli, 2pea fekau atu ‘e ha‘a Tani mei honau fāmili ha tu‘unga tangata ‘e toko nima mei honau kotoa, ko e kau to‘a,18.2 kau to‘a; pe kau tangata ma‘u mafai. mei Sola pea mei ‘Esitaoli, ke asiasi ‘a e fonua, pea ke hakule ia; pea nau pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Alu, hakule ‘a e fonua. Ko ia, na‘a nau ‘alu ki Mo‘unga-‘Ifalemi, ‘o nau a‘u ki he fale ‘o Maika, ‘o mohe ‘i he potu ko ia. 3Ko ‘enau fe‘unga leva mo e fale ‘o Maika, pea nau ‘ilo ‘a e le‘o ‘o e talavou Līvai: pea nau afe ki ai, ‘o nau pehē kiate ia, Ko hai na‘a ne ‘omi koe ki heni? Pea ko e hā ‘oku ke fai ‘i heni?

4Pea ko e hā ho‘o me‘a ‘i heni? Pea ne tali kiate kinautolu, Na‘e pehē mo pehē ‘a e fai ‘a Maika kiate au, pea kuo ne nō au, pea ‘oku ou nofo ko hono taula‘eiki.

5Pea nau pehē kiate ia, Huhū mu‘a ki he ‘Otua, ke mau ‘ilo pe ‘e tu‘umālie ‘emau fononga ‘oku mau ‘alu ai.

6Pea pehē ‘e he taula kiate kinautolu, ‘Alu, te mou tu‘umālie; he ‘oku fononga ‘a Sihova ki he hala ‘oku mou ‘alu ai."

Fakamaau 18:1 “Ko e taimi ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai ha tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli, pea ko e taimi ko iá naʻe kumi ai ʻe he matakali ʻo Taní hanau tofiʻa ke nofo ai”. 

Ko e haʻa Taní eni kuo nau toe kumi ha kelekele ke feʻunga mo ʻenau fiemaʻu (Sios 19:40-48) koeʻuhi he naʻa nau tōnounou ke falala ki he ʻOtuá, ke tokoniʻi kinautolu ke ikunaʻi honau tofiʻa. He naʻe fakamalohiʻi kinautolu ʻe he kau ʻAmolí mo teka ki he moʻunga ʻo ʻikai ke nau nofo ʻi he tokalelei ʻi lalo (1:34). Naʻe ʻikai ke nau hanga ʻo tauʻi honau tofiʻa, ka nau fakasiosio pe hanau konga fonua foʻou mei he tokelaú, ki ha feituʻu ʻe tokoni mei ai ʻa e filí ka ʻikai ke nau ala. Pea ʻi heʻenau fononga ki he Tokelau ʻo nau aʻu ki he ʻapi ʻo Maiká, ʻo nau feʻiloaki ai mo e Livaí kuo ne taulaʻeiki, ʻo ne fai honau faleʻí ʻi heʻenau fonongá pea ʻikai ko ia pe ka naʻa nau kaihaʻasi ʻa e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi ʻaitoli naʻe ngaohi ʻe Maiká. 

Ko e kau taulaʻeikí mo honau kau tokoní ko e kotoa ʻo kinautolú ko e kau memipa ʻo e matakali ʻo Livai (Nom 3:5-13). ʻOku nau tauhi ʻa e kakaí mo akoʻi kinautolu ʻi he anga ʻo e hū ki he ʻOtuá, pea nau fai ʻa e ngaahi ouau ʻo e lotú fakatouʻosi ʻi he Tapanekalé ʻi Sailó, pe ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻe vaheʻi ke fai ki ai ʻi he fonuá. Ka ʻi heni ko e taulaʻeiki talangataʻa ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi ʻa e taʻefakaʻapaʻapa ki he ʻOtuá koeʻuhi 1. ʻOku ne fai hono ngaahi fatongia ʻi ha fale. 

He ko e ngaahi fatongia fakataulaʻeikí, kuopau ke fai pe ia ʻi he Tapanekalé pe ko ha kolo kuo vaheʻi ki ai. Ko e fiemaʻu ko ení naʻe fakataumuʻa ia ke maluʻi ʻa e ngaahi lao ʻa e ʻOtuá mei hano liliu. 2. Naʻá ne toʻo ʻa e ngaahi ʻaitoli ʻe ia (v.20). 3. Naʻe lau naʻe lea mai ʻa e ʻOtuá ka naʻe ʻikai ke lea mai ʻa e ʻOtuá ia ʻo fai mai ʻiate ia (v.6).
