ʻI he faai mai ʻa e taimí, naʻe tokolahi ʻa e kakai ʻi he māmaní. Naʻe kovi ʻa e tokolahi taha ʻo kinautolú. Naʻa mo e niʻihi ʻo e kau ʻāngelo ʻi hēvaní naʻa nau hoko ʻo kovi. Naʻa nau liʻaki ʻa honau ʻapi ʻi hēvaní pea nau ʻalu hifo ki he māmaní. ʻOkú ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga naʻa nau fai ai iá? Koeʻuhi ke nau lava ʻo ʻai ha sino fakaetangata pea mali mo e kakai fefiné.

Naʻe maʻu ʻe he kau ʻāngeló mo e kakai fefiné ʻa e ngaahi foha. Naʻe tupu hake ʻa e ngaahi foha ko iá ʻo mālohi ʻaupito pea nau houtamaki. Naʻa nau fakamamahiʻi ʻa e kakaí. Naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe Sihova ke hokohoko atu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ko iá. Ko ia naʻá ne fili ai ke fakaʻauha ʻa e kakai koví ʻi ha lōmaki.

Ka naʻe ʻi ai ha tangata ʻa ia naʻe kehe ia. Naʻá ne ʻofa kia Sihova. Ko hono hingoá ko Noa. Naʻe ʻi ai hono uaifi mo e foha ʻe toko tolu ko Semi, Hami, pea mo Sēfeti, pea naʻe taki taha ʻi ai honau uaifi. Naʻe tala ʻe Sihova kia Noa ke ne langa ha fuʻu ʻaʻake ke lava ʻo ne hao ki ai mo hono fāmilí ʻi he Lōmakí. Ko e ʻaʻaké ko ha fuʻu puha papa ʻa ia ʻoku lava ke tētē ʻi he vaí. Naʻe toe tala ʻe Sihova kia Noa ke fakahū ki he ʻaʻaké ʻa e fanga manu tokolahi ke nau lava foki ʻo hao.

Naʻe kamata leva ʻe Noa ʻa hono faʻu ʻo e ʻaʻaké. Naʻe feʻunga mo e taʻu nai ʻe 50 ʻa hono faʻu ia ʻe Noa mo hono fāmilí. Naʻa nau faʻu ʻa e ʻaʻaké ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e meʻa naʻe tala ange ʻe Sihová. Lolotonga ʻa e taimi ko iá, naʻe fai ai ʻe Noa ha fakatokanga ki he kakaí fekauʻaki mo e Lōmakí. Ka naʻe ʻikai fanongo ha taha kiate ia.

Faifai atu pē, naʻe hoko ʻa e taimi ke nau hū ai ki he ʻaʻaké. Tau sio angé pe ko e hā ʻa e meʻa naʻe hokó.
