Lea Fakatātā 8:2-13

²‌ʻOku tuʻu ia ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga, mo e ngaahi potu ʻi he ngaahi veʻe hala.

³‌ʻOku ne kalanga ʻi he ngaahi matapā, mo e ngaahi matanikolo, ʻi he ava ʻoe ngaahi matapā.

⁴“ʻAe kau tangata, ʻoku ou ui kiate kimoutolu! Pea ʻoku hiki hake hoku leʻo ki he fānau ʻae tangata,

⁵‌ʻAe kau sesele, mou ʻilo ʻae poto: pea ke maʻu ʻekimoutolu, ko e kau vale, ʻae loto faʻa ʻilo.

⁶Fanongo; he te u lea ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku lelei; pea ʻe mafaʻa hoku loungutu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa totonu.

⁷Pea ʻe lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ʻe hoku ngutu; pea ko e meʻa fakalielia ki hoku loungutu ʻae kovi.

⁸‌ʻOku ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻa hoku ngutu; ʻoku ʻikai ha pikopiko pe ha kākā ʻi ai.

⁹‌ʻOku ʻilongofua kotoa pē kiate ia ʻoku poto, pea totonu kiate kinautolu ʻoku maʻu ʻae ʻilo.

¹⁰Maʻuā ʻeku akonaki, kae siʻaki ʻae siliva; pea ke lelei hake ʻae maʻu ʻoe ʻilo ʻi he koula lelei.

¹¹“He ʻoku lelei hake ʻae poto ʻi he ngaahi maka koloa; pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa tatau mo ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke faʻa holi ki ai.

¹²Ko au poto ʻoku ma nonofo mo faʻa filioʻi, pea u maʻu ʻae ʻilo ʻi he fakatupu meʻa foʻou.

¹³Ko e manavahē kia Sihova, ko e fehiʻa ia ki he kovi: ko e fielahi, mo e fakapuhopuhā, mo e angakovi mo e ngutu kovi, ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki ai.
