Nomipā 18:7-17

⁷Pea ko ia, ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha te mou tokanga ki hoʻomou ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, mo e loto puipui; pea te mou tauhi: kuo u foaki kiate kimoutolu hoʻomou ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ʻo hangē ko e meʻa foaki: pea ko e muli ʻe haʻu ʻo ofi ʻe tāmateʻi ia.”

⁸Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “Kuo u foaki foki kiate koe ʻae tauhi ʻo ʻeku feilaulau hiki hake ʻi he ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; kuo u foaki ia kiate koe koeʻuhi ko e fakanofo, pea ki ho ngaahi foha, ʻi he talatuku ʻo lauikuonga.

⁹Ko hoʻo meʻa eni ʻi he ngaahi meʻa toputapu, kuo hao ʻi he afi: ko ʻenau feilaulau kotoa pē, ko ʻenau feilaulau meʻakai kotoa pē, ko ʻenau feilaulau kotoa pē maʻae angahala, mo ʻenau feilaulau fakalelei kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo nau ʻange kiate au, ʻe mātuʻaki tapu ia maʻau, mo ho ngaahi foha.

¹⁰Te ke kai ia ʻi he potu tapu ʻaupito, ʻe kai ia ʻe he kakai tangata kotoa pē: ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia kiate koe.

¹¹Pea ko e meʻa eni ʻaʻau; ko e feilaulau hiki hake ʻoku nau foaki, fakataha mo e ngaahi feilaulau lialiaki kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: kuo u foaki ia kiate koe, mo ho ngaahi foha, pea mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine fakataha mo koe, ʻi he fekau ʻo lauikuonga: ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku maʻa ʻi ho fale te ne kai mei ai.

¹²Ko e lelei kotoa pē ʻoe lolo, mo e lelei kotoa pē ʻoe uaine, pea mo e uite, ko hono ʻuluaki fua ʻaia tenau ʻatu kia Sihova, kuo u foaki ia kiate koe.

¹³Pea mo ia ʻoku fuofua moho ʻi he fonua, ʻaia tenau ʻomi kia Sihova, ʻe ʻaʻau ia; ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku maʻa ʻi ho fale te ne kai mei ai.

¹⁴Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fakatapu ʻi ʻIsileli ʻoku ʻaʻau ia.

¹⁵‌ʻAe meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne toʻo ʻae mānava ʻi he kakano kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku nau ʻomi kia Sihova, ʻi he kau tangata, pe ʻi he fanga manu, ʻe ʻaʻau ia: ka ko e moʻoni te ke huhuʻi ʻae ʻuluaki tama ʻi he tangata, pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he fanga manu taʻemaʻa te ke huhuʻi ia.

¹⁶Pea ko ia ʻoku totonu ke huhuʻi mei he taha māhina, te ke huhuʻi ia ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo lau, ʻaki ʻae paʻanga ko e sikeli ʻe nima, ʻo hangē ko esikeli ʻoe faletapu, ʻaia ko e kela ʻe uofulu.

¹⁷Ka ko e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae fanga pulu, pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae sipi, pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae kosi, ʻe ʻikai te ke huhuʻi ia; he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ia: pea te ke luluku ʻaki honau toto ʻae feilaulauʻanga, pea te ke tutu honau ngako ko e feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi, ko e meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova.
