Laʻana!

A e like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia, e waiho ʻia ke kumu o nā aʻa o ua lāʻau lā; eiʻa, a ʻike ʻoe no nā lani mai ke aliʻi ʻana, a laila e paʻa ai iā ʻoe kou aupuni.

ʻO nā mea a pau i hānau ma ka ʻāina, ma kēia kumu kā lākou e hana ai ia mau mea, ma ke kaumaha ʻana aku i ka mōhai i hana ʻia ma ke ahi, he mea ʻala ʻoluʻolu no Iēhova.

Ua inu mākou i ko mākou wai no ke kālā, Me ke kumu kūʻai i hiki mai ai ko mākou wahie.

A hāʻawi maila ʻo Kaleba i nā kumu wai luna a me nā kumu wai lalo.

Hoʻokomo ihola ua ʻānela lā i kāna pahi kākiwi ma ka honua, a hōʻiliʻili ihola i nā kumu waina o ka honua, a kiola akula i loko o ka lua kaomi waina nui o ko ke Akua ukiuki.

E mākaukau mau oukou e hoʻomaopopo aku i ka poʻe e nīnau mai iā ʻoukou i ke kumu o ka lana ʻana o ko ʻoukou manaʻo, me ke akahai, a me ka haʻahaʻa.

He aha hoʻi ʻo Paulo, he aha ʻo ʻApolo, ʻaʻole anei ʻo lāua nā kumu i manaʻoʻiʻo aku ai ʻoukou, e like me ka hāʻawi ʻana mai o ka Haku no kēlā kanaka no kēia kanaka?

A no ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau, hoʻokahi haneri kūbita, ʻo ko lākou mau pou, he iwakālua, a ʻo ko lākou mau kumu keleawe, he iwakālua.

ʻO wau nō ke Kumu waina, ʻo ʻoukou nā lālā.

E hoʻomaikaʻi mau ʻia aku ʻo Iēhova ke Akua o ʻIseraʻela, Mai ke ao kumu ʻole, a i ke ao pau ʻole.

A hāʻawi maila ʻo Kaleba i nā kumu wai luna, a me nā kumu wai lalo.

He gula nō ko lākou mau lou, a hoʻoheheʻe ʻo ia no lākou i mau kumu kālā ʻehā.

Akā he kumu wai, a he lua paha, kahi wai nui, e maʻemaʻe ia; akā, ʻo ka mea pā i ko lākou kupapaʻu e haumia ʻo ia.

Mai ʻai ʻo ia i kekahi mea o ke kumu waina, mai inu i ka waina, ʻaʻole hoʻi i ka mea ʻawaʻawa, mai ʻai ʻo ia i ka mea haumia.

A e lawe ʻoe i kekahi koko o ka bipi, a e kau ma nā pepeiao o ke kuahu me kou manamana lima, a e ninini iho i ke koko a pau ma ke kumu o ke kuahu.
