Lea Fakatātā 20:4-19

⁴‌ʻOku ʻikai ke keli ʻae fakapikopiko koeʻuhi ko e momoko; ko ia te ne faʻa kole ai ʻi he ututaʻu, ka ʻe ʻikai maʻu ha meʻa.

⁵‌ʻOku hangē ko e vai loloto ʻae poto ʻi he loto ʻoe tangata; ka ʻe fusi hake ia ʻe he tangata faʻa fakakaukau.

⁶‌ʻOku tokolahi ʻae kakai ʻoku taki taha viki ʻi heʻene lelei ʻaʻana: ka ko hai ʻoku ne faʻa ʻilo ki ha tangata angatonu.

⁷‌ʻOku ʻeveʻeva ʻae tangata angatonu ʻi heʻene māʻoniʻoni: ʻoku monūʻia ʻa ʻene fānau kimui ʻiate ia.

⁸Ko e tuʻi ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa ʻoe fakamaau, ʻoku ne fakahēʻi ʻae kovi ʻaki hono fofonga.

⁹Ko hai ʻoku ne faʻa lea ʻo pehē, “Kuo u fakamaʻa hoku loto, ʻoku ou maʻa au mei heʻeku angahala?”

¹⁰Ko e faikehekehe ʻi he fakamamafa meʻa, mo e faikehekehe ʻi he fuofua meʻa, ʻoku fakatou fakalielia tatau kia Sihova.

¹¹Naʻa mo e tamasiʻi, ʻoku ʻilo ia ʻi heʻene faianga; pe ʻoku maʻa ʻene ngāue, pe ʻoku totonu ia.

¹²Kuo fakatou ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae telinga ke fanongo mo e mata ke sio ʻaki.

¹³‌ʻOua naʻa ke manako ki he mohe, telia naʻa ke hoko ʻo masiva ai: ke ʻā pe ho mata, pea ʻe fakamākona koe ʻaki ʻae mā.

¹⁴‌ʻOku pehē ʻe ia ʻoku fakatau, “Ko e meʻa noa pe ʻena, ko e meʻa noa pe ʻena,” ka ʻoka ʻalu ia ʻi hono hala, ʻoku ne toki polepole.

¹⁵‌ʻOku ai ʻae koula, pea taʻefaʻalaua ʻae ngaahi maka koloa; ka ko e teunga mahuʻinga ʻae loungutu ʻoe poto.

¹⁶Ke toʻo pe ʻae kofu ʻoʻona ʻoku tongia ha taha ʻoku taʻeʻiloʻi: pea ke maʻu mei ai ʻae tuku paʻanga ko e langomekina ʻoe fefine muli.

¹⁷Ko e mā ʻoku maʻu ʻi he kākā ʻoku ifoifo lelei ki he tangata: ka ʻe toki fakafonu kimui ʻa hono ngutu ʻaki ʻae pata.

¹⁸‌ʻOku tuʻumaʻu ʻae tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē ʻi he fakakaukau: pea ka hoko ʻae tau, ke tomuʻa fakakaukau lelei ki ai.

¹⁹Ko ia ʻoku ʻalu fano ko e faʻa fafana ʻoku fakahā ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi tala fufū: ko ia ʻoua naʻa ke kau kiate ia ʻoku faʻa lapu ʻaki hono loungutu.
