18 ʻOua naʻa ke polepole ki he ngaahi vaʻa. Pea neongo hoʻo polepole, ʻoku ʻikai ke moʻui ʻae tefito ʻiate koe, ka ko koe ʻi he tefito.
19 Pea te ke pehē nai, “Ne motuhi ʻae ngaahi vaʻa, koeʻuhi kae fakahoko au.”
20 Ko e moʻoni; ko e meʻa ʻi he taʻetui naʻe motuhi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoku ke tuʻu koe ʻi he tui. ʻOua naʻa ke loto lahi, ka ke manavahē:
21 He kapau naʻe ʻikai mamae ʻae ʻOtua ki he ngaahi vaʻa totonu, vakai naʻa ʻikai te ne mamae kiate koe.
22 Ko ia vakai ki he angalelei mo e houhau ʻoe ʻOtua: ko e houhau kiate kinautolu naʻe hinga; ka ko e angalelei kiate koe, ʻo kapau te ke tuʻumaʻu ʻi he angalelei: ka ʻikai, pea ʻe motuhi ai foki mo koe.
23 Pea ko kinautolu foki ʻe fakahoko, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau nofomaʻu ʻi he taʻetui, he ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe he ʻOtua ke toe fakahoko ʻakinautolu.
24 He kapau naʻe tutuʻu koe mei he ʻakau ko e ʻolive ʻaia ko hono anga ke tupu vao pē, pea fakahoko koe ki he ʻolive lelei kae ʻikai tatau mo hono anga: ʻe ʻikai faingofua hake ʻae fakahoko ʻoe ʻngaahi vaʻa moʻoni ki honau ʻolive ʻonautolu?
25 He ʻoku ʻikai te u loto, ʻe kāinga, ke mou taʻeʻilo ʻae meʻa lilo ni, telia naʻa mou fielahi ʻiate kimoutolu; kuo fakakui ʻae niʻihi ʻo ʻIsileli, kaeʻoua ke hokosia hono fakakātoa mai ʻoe kakai Senitaile.
26 Pea ʻe fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē: ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “ʻE haʻu mei Saione ʻae Fakamoʻui, pea ʻe fakafoki ʻe ia ʻae angahala meia Sēkope:
27 He ko ʻeku fuakava eni mo kinautolu, ʻo kau ka ʻave ʻenau ngaahi angahala.”
28 Ko e ngaahi fili ʻakinautolu ki he ongoongolelei, kae ʻaonga kiate kimoutolu: ka ko e meʻa ʻi he fili, kuo ʻofeina ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tamai.
29 He ko e ngaahi foaki mo e ui ʻae ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai ha fakatomala ki ai.
30 He ʻoku hangē ko kimoutolu ʻi muʻa, naʻe ʻikai te mou talangofua ki he ʻOtua, ka ko eni kuo mou maʻu ʻae ʻaloʻofa ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau talangataʻa:
31 ʻOku pehē foki, ʻoku ʻikai eni ke talangofua ʻakinautolu ni, ka, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻaloʻofa kiate kimoutolu, te nau lavaʻi foki ʻae ʻaloʻofa.
32 He kuo tuku ʻe he ʻOtua ke moʻua ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ki he talangataʻa, koeʻuhi ka ne ʻaloʻofa ki ai kotoa pē.
33 ʻOiauē! Hono loloto ʻoe koloaʻia ʻae poto mo e ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua! ʻOku taʻefaʻaʻeke ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pea taʻefaʻaʻiloa mo hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga!
34 “He ko hai kuo ne ʻilo ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻEiki? Pe ko hai kuo akonakiʻi kiate ia?
35 Pea ko hai ne tomuʻa foaki kiate ia, pea ʻe toe totongi ia kiate ia?
36 He ʻoku tupunga meiate ia, pea ʻoku maʻu pē ʻiate ia, pea ʻe iku kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē: ʻaia ke ʻi ai ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa ʻo taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
