ʼE mole he tahi age tohi fakalotu ʼe tatau mo te Tohi-Tapu. ʼE mole he tahi age tohi neʼe ina ʼekenaki te tui ʼa te tokolahi ʼi he temi loaloaga. Kaʼe, neʼe mole he tahi age tohi neʼe lahi tona vakaʼi pea mo tona valoki.
Ohage la, ko ʼihi hahaʼi faifekumi ʼe natou lotolotolua ʼo ʼuhiga mo te ʼu Tohi-Tapu ʼae ʼe tou maʼu ʼi te temi nei. Kia natou neʼe mole hiki mai te ʼu ʼuluaki tohi. ʼE ui fenei e he tagata faiako ʼo te ʼu sivi fakalotu: “ ʼE mole matou iloʼi papau pe neʼe toe faʼufaʼu lelei te ʼu ʼuluaki tohi ʼi hona aluʼaga ʼe totonu. ʼE matou maʼu pe he ʼu tohi neʼe hiki ʼe lahi ai he ʼu hala pea ko te ʼu tohi ʼaia neʼe hiki ʼi ni lauʼi taʼu ʼe teau ki muli mai ʼi te ʼu ʼuluaki tohi.
