Pea naʻe pule kakaha ʻa ʻAsa ki he kakai niʻihi ʻi he kuonga ko ia. 11 Pea vakai, ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻAsa, ko e muʻaki mo e kimui, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta mo ʻIsileli. 12 Pea naʻe mahaki ʻa ʻAsa ʻi hono vaʻe, ʻi hono tolungofulu ma hiva taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, pea naʻe tupu ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻene mahaki: ka ʻi heʻene mahaki naʻe ʻikai kumi ia kia Sihova, ka ki he kau faitoʻo.
