Lea Fakatātā 24:16-33

¹⁶He ka hinga ʻae tangata angatonu ke liunga fitu, ʻoku ne toetuʻu hake: ka ʻe tō ʻae angahala ki he kovi.

¹⁷‌ʻOua naʻa ke fiefia ʻoka tō hifo ho fili, pea ʻoua naʻa fiefia ho loto ʻoka tūkia ia:

¹⁸Telia naʻa ʻafioʻi ia ʻe Sihova, pea kovi ia ʻi hono ʻao, pea ne fakatafoki hono houhau meiate ia.

¹⁹‌ʻOua naʻa ke kau mo e kakai angakovi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke meheka ki he kakai angahala;

²⁰Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai ha totongi lelei ki he angakovi: ʻe tāmateʻi ke mate ʻae maama ʻae angahala.

²¹‌ʻE hoku foha, ke ke manavahē koe kia Sihova, pea mo e tuʻi: pea ʻoua naʻa ke kau kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto feliliuʻaki:

²²Koeʻuhi ʻe tupu fakafokifā ʻenau tuʻutāmaki; pea ko hai ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi hona tautea fakatouʻosi?

²³Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni foki ʻoku kau ki he poto. ʻOku ʻikai lelei ke filifilimānako ki he kakai ʻi he fai ʻoe fakamaau.

²⁴Ko ia ʻoku lea ʻo pehē ki he angakovi, “Ko e māʻoniʻoni koe;” ʻe fakamalaʻia ia ʻe he kakai, ʻe fehiʻa ʻaupito ki ai ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga:

²⁵Ka ʻe hoko ʻae monūʻia kiate kinautolu ʻoku valokiʻi ia, mo e tāpuaki ʻoe lelei ʻe hoko kiate kinautolu.

²⁶‌ʻE fekita ʻae kakai ki hono loungutu ʻo ia ʻoku faʻa tali aki ʻae lea ʻoku totonu.

²⁷Ke teuteu hoʻo ngāue ʻituʻa, pea ke teuteu ia ke taau mo koe ʻae ngoue; pea ke toki langa ho fale.

²⁸‌ʻOua naʻa ke fakamoʻoni meʻa ki ho kaungāʻapi taʻehanototonu; pea ʻoua naʻa ke kākā ʻaki ho loungutu.

²⁹‌ʻOua naʻa ke pehē, “Te u fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene fai kiate au: te u ʻatu ki he tangata ʻo tatau mo ʻene ngāue.”

³⁰Naʻaku ʻalu atu ki he ngoue ʻae fakapikopiko, mo e ngoue vaine ʻae tangata taʻefakakaukau;

³¹Pea vakai, kuo vaoa ia ʻi he ʻakau talatala, pea ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ʻae talatalaʻāmoa, pea kuo maumau hono ʻā maka ʻo ia.

³²Naʻaku toki mamata, pea u fifili lahi ki ai: naʻaku sio ki ai, pea ne akonakiʻi au.

³³‌ʻIo, ʻe toe siʻi pe ʻae mohe, ʻe toe siʻi mo e moʻumohea, ʻe toe siʻi mo e fehulunaki ʻoe nima ke mohe:
