Lea Fakatātā 3:18-33

¹⁸Ko e ʻakau ia ʻoe moʻui kiate kinautolu ʻoku puke kiate ia: pea ʻoku monūʻia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kuku ia ke maʻu.

¹⁹Kuo fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ʻae tuʻunga ʻo māmani ʻi he poto; pea ʻi he ʻilo kuo ne teuteu ai ʻae ngaahi langi.

²⁰Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene faʻa ʻilo ʻoku mapunopuna hake ai ʻae ngaahi loloto, pea ʻoku toʻi ʻae hahau mei he ngaahi ʻao.

²¹E hoku foha, ʻoua naʻa ke tuku ke mole atu ia mei ho ʻao: tauhi ke maʻu ʻae poto moʻoni mo e ʻiloʻilo.

²²Pea ʻe hoko ai ia ko e moʻui ki ho laumālie, mo e teunga lelei ki ho kia.

²³Pea te ke toki ʻalu lelei ʻi ho hala, pea ʻe ʻikai tūkia ho vaʻe.

²⁴‌ʻOka ke ka tokoto ki lalo, ʻe ʻikai te ke manavahē: ʻio, te ke tokoto hifo, pea ʻe melie hoʻo mohe kiate koe.

²⁵‌ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē ki ha meʻa fakailifia ʻoku fakafokifā mai; pe ki he fakaʻauha ʻoe angahala, ʻoka hoko mai ia.

²⁶He ko ho falalaʻanga ʻa Sihova, pea ʻe fakahaofi ʻe ia ho vaʻe ke ʻoua naʻa ʻefihia.

²⁷‌ʻOua naʻa taʻofi ʻae lelei meiate kinautolu ʻoku totonu ke ʻatu ia ki ai, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻi ho nima hono mafai.

²⁸‌ʻOua naʻa ke pehē ki ho kaungāʻapi, “ʻAlu, pea ke toe haʻu, pea te u foaki ia kiate koe ʻapongipongi;” kae ʻosi ʻoku ke maʻu pe ʻae meʻa ʻiate koe.

²⁹‌ʻOua naʻa ke filioʻi kovi ki ho kaungāʻapi, he ʻoku ne nofo falala pe kiate koe.

³⁰‌ʻOua naʻa fekuki mo ha taha taʻehanoʻuhinga, ʻo kapau kuo ʻikai ke fai ʻe ia ha kovi kiate koe.

³¹‌ʻOua naʻa ke meheka ki he tangata fakamālohi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fili ki hono ngaahi hala ʻoʻona.

³²He ko e angahala ʻoku fakalielia ia kia Sihova: ka ʻoku ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻa hono finangalo fufū.

³³‌ʻOku ʻi he fale ʻoe angahala ʻae fakamalaʻia meia Sihova: ka ʻoku ne tāpuakiʻi ʻae nofoʻanga ʻoe angatonu.
