Lea Fakatātā 26:13-23

¹³‌ʻOku pehē ʻe he tangata fakapikopiko, “ʻOku ai ʻae laione ʻi he hala: ʻoku ʻi he hala ʻoe kolo ʻae laione.”

¹⁴Hangē ko e feʻaluʻaki ʻae matapā ʻi hono meʻa tautau, ʻoku pehē ʻaia ʻoku fakapikopiko ʻi hono mohenga.

¹⁵‌ʻOku fakafufū ʻe he fakapikopiko ʻa hono nima ʻi hono fatafata; pea ʻoku mamahi ia ʻi heʻene toe ʻomi ia ki hono ngutu.

¹⁶‌ʻOku poto hake ʻae fakapikopiko ʻi heʻene mahalo ʻaʻana, ʻi he kau tangata ʻe toko fitu ʻoku faʻa tali ʻaki ʻae lea ʻoku totonu.

¹⁷Ko ia ʻoku ʻalu ange, pea ne kaunoa ʻi ha fakakikihi naʻe ʻikai kau ai ia, ʻoku tatau ia mo ha taha ʻoku puke ha kulī ʻi hono telinga.

¹⁸Hangē ha tangata faha ʻoku lī fano ʻe ia ʻae afi, mo e ngaahi ngahau, mo e mate,

¹⁹‌ʻOku pehē pe ʻae tangata ʻoku ne kākaaʻi hono kaungāʻapi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻIkai ko ʻeku fakavā pe?”

²⁰‌ʻI he ʻikai ha fefie ʻoku mate ʻae afi: pea pehē, ʻi he ʻikai ha fakakovi kuo longo leva ʻae fakakikihi.

²¹Hangē ko e malamala ki he malala vela, mo e fefie ki he afi; ʻoku pehē ʻae tangata faʻa fakakikihi kē.

²²Ko e ngaahi lea ʻae tangata faʻa fafana ʻoku hangē ia ko e ngaahi makafokafo, pea ʻoku ʻasi mai ia ki he kakano ʻoe loto.

²³Ko e loungutu lapu mo e loto kovi, ʻoku tatau mo ha konga ipu maumau kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae siliva.
