ʻI he faai atu ʻa e taimí, naʻe toe tafoki ʻa ʻIsileli meia Sihova pea kamata ke nau lotu ki he ngaahi ʻotua loí. ʻI he taʻu ʻe fitu, naʻe kaihaʻasi ai ʻe he kau Mitianí ʻa e fanga manu ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí pea fakaʻauha ʻenau ngaahi ngoué. Ke hola mei he kau Mitianí, naʻe toi ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻi he ngaahi ʻana pea ʻi he ngaahi moʻungá. Naʻa nau kole kia Sihova ke ne fakahaofi kinautolu. Ko ia naʻe fekauʻi mai ʻe Sihova ha ʻāngelo ki ha kiʻi tangata ko Kitione. Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he ʻāngeló: ‘Kuo fili koe ʻe Sihova ke ke hoko ko ha tangata toʻa ʻi he taú.’ Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe Kitione: ‘ʻE lava fēfē ke u fakahaofi ʻa ʻIsileli? Ko ha tokotaha au ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻiloa.’

ʻE ʻilo fēfē ʻe Kitione kuo fili ia ʻe Sihová? Naʻá ne tuku ha fulufuluʻisipi ʻi he kelekelé peá ne pehē kia Sihova: ‘ʻI he pongipongí, kapau ʻe viviku ʻi he hahaú ʻa e fulufuluʻisipí kae mōmoa pē ʻa e kelekelé, te u ʻiloʻi ai ʻokú ke fiemaʻu ke u fakahaofi ʻa ʻIsileli.’ ʻI he pongipongi hono hokó, naʻe viviku ʻo pīponu ʻa e fulufuluʻisipí pea naʻe mōmoa ʻa e kelekelé! Ka naʻe toe kole ʻe Kitione ke mōmoa ʻa e fulufuluʻisipí ʻi he pongipongi hono hokó kae viviku ʻa e kelekelé. ʻI he hoko iá, naʻe tui leva ai ʻa Kitione kuo fili ia ʻe Sihova. Naʻá ne fakatahatahaʻi mai ʻene kau sōtiá ke nau tau mo e kau Mitianí.

 Naʻe tala ʻe Sihova kia Kitione: ‘Te u tuku ke ikuna ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí. Ka koeʻuhi ko e fuʻu tokolahi ʻa hoʻo kau sōtiá, te ke fakakaukau nai ai ʻokú ke ikunaʻi ʻa e taú ʻiate koe pē. Tala ki ha taha pē ʻoku ilifia ke ne foki ki ʻapi.’ Ko ia naʻe foki ʻa e kau sōtia ʻe toko 22,000 pea toe pē ʻa e toko 10,000. Naʻe toe pehē ange ʻe Sihova: ‘ʻOku kei fuʻu tokolahi pē ʻa e kau sōtiá. ʻAve kinautolu ki he vaitafé, pea tala ange ke nau inu ʻa e vai ʻi he vaitafé. Tuku pē ʻiate koe ʻa e faʻahinga te nau fakasio ki he filí lolotonga ʻenau inú.’ Ko e kau tangata pē ʻe toko 300 naʻa nau hanganaki tokanga lolotonga ʻenau inú. Naʻe palōmesi ʻa Sihova ʻe ikunaʻi ʻe he kau tangata tokosiʻi ko ení ʻa e kau sōtia Mitiani ʻe toko 135,000.

ʻI he pō ko iá, naʻe tala ai ʻe Sihova kia Kitione: ‘Kuo taimi ke ʻohofi ʻa e kau Mitianí!’ Naʻe ʻoange ʻe Kitione ki heʻene kau tangatá ʻa e ngaahi meʻaifi mo e ngaahi fuʻu siā naʻe ʻi loto ai ha ngaahi tūhulu. Naʻá ne tala ange: ‘Mou siofi au, pea fai ʻa e meʻa tofu pē ʻoku ou faí.’ Naʻe ifi ʻe Kitione ʻa ʻene meʻaifí, peá ne haʻaki ʻo momo ʻene siaá, hiki hake ʻene tūhulú, peá ne kaila: ‘Ko e heletā ʻa Sihová pea mo Kitione!’ Naʻe fai ʻe heʻene kau tangata kotoa ʻe toko 300 ʻa e meʻa tatau. Naʻe ilifia ʻa e kau Mitianí pea nau lele takai holo. ʻI heʻenau puputuʻú, naʻe kamata ke nau fetāmateʻaki. Naʻe toe tokoniʻi ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke nau ikunaʻi ʻa honau ngaahi filí.
