Saame 18:6-37

⁶‌ʻI heʻeku mamahi naʻaku ui kia Sihova, mo tangi ki hoku ʻOtua: pea ne ongoʻi hoku leʻo mei hono faletapu, pea naʻe aʻu atu ʻeku tangi ki hono ʻao, ʻio, ki hono fofonga.

⁷Naʻe ngalulu ai ʻa māmani ʻo tetetete; naʻe ngaue mo lulululu foki ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, koeʻuhi ko ʻene houhau.

⁸Naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kohu ʻi hono houhau, pea naʻe keina ʻe he afi mei hono ngutu: naʻe tutuʻaki ia ʻae fefie.

⁹Naʻa ne ofeʻi hifo foki ʻae ngaahi langi, ʻo hāʻele hifo: pea naʻe ʻi hono lalo vaʻe ʻae poʻuli.

¹⁰Naʻe heka ia ki he selupi, pea hāʻele ia: ʻio, naʻe hāʻele ia ʻi he ngaahi kapakau ʻoe matangi.

¹¹Naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae poʻuli ko hono fakalilolilo: ko hono ʻafioʻanga naʻe kāpui ia ʻe he vai fakapoʻuli mo e ngaahi ʻao matolu ʻoe langi.

¹²‌ʻI he ulo mei hono ʻao naʻe mole atu ai ʻa ʻene ngaahi ʻao matolu, ʻae ʻuha maka mo e ngaahi malalaʻi afi.

¹³Naʻe mana foki ʻe Sihova ʻi he ngaahi langi, pea fakahā hono leʻo ʻe he Fungani Māʻolunga; ko e ʻuha maka mo e ngaahi malalaʻi afi.

¹⁴‌ʻIo, naʻa ne fana atu ʻene ngaahi ngahau, pea veteki ʻakinautolu; pea ne fana ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻuhila, ʻo veuveuki ʻakinautolu.

¹⁵Naʻe toki hā ai ʻae ngaahi tafeʻanga ʻoe vai, pea fakahā ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani ʻi ho houhau, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he matangi ʻoe mānava ʻo ho houhau.

¹⁶Naʻa ne fekau mei ʻolunga, naʻa ne toʻo au, naʻa ne toʻo hake au mei he ngaahi vai lahi.

¹⁷Naʻa ne fakahaofi au mei hoku fili

¹⁸Naʻa nau fakatangaʻi au ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku tuʻutāmaki: ka ko hoku tokoni ʻa Sihova.

¹⁹Naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he potu ʻataʻatā lahi; naʻa ne fakahaofi au, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fiemālie ʻiate au.

²⁰Naʻe totongi ʻe Sihova kiate au ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku māʻoniʻoni; ʻo fakatatau ki he maʻa ʻa hoku nima kuo ne totongi kiate au.

²¹He naʻaku tauhi ʻae ngaahi hala ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ʻi he angakovi mei hoku ʻOtua.

²²He naʻe ʻi hoku ʻao ʻa ʻene ngaahi fakamaau kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻikai te u liʻaki ʻene ngaahi fekau ʻiate au.

²³Pea naʻaku angatonu foki ʻi hono ʻao, pea ne u taʻofi au mei heʻeku hia.

²⁴Ko ia kuo totongi ai au ʻe Sihova ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku māʻoniʻoni, pea fakatatau ki he maʻa ʻa hoku nima ʻi hono ʻao.

²⁵‌ʻI he kakai loto ʻofa te ke fakahā koe ko e ʻaloʻofa; ki he tangata angatonu te ke fakahā koe ko e angatonu;

²⁶Ki he māʻoniʻoni te ke fakahā koe ʻae māʻoniʻoni; pea ki he tangata angatuʻu temo fekuki mo ia.

²⁷He ko koe te ke fakamoʻui ʻae kakai mamahi: ka te ke ʻohifo ki lalo ʻae mata fielahi.

²⁸Pea te ke tutu ʻeku maama: ʻo huluʻaki ʻeku fakapoʻuli ʻe Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua.

²⁹He ko e meʻa ʻiate koe naʻaku halaua ʻae tau ʻo hao; pea ʻi hoku ʻOtua ne u puna kituʻa ʻi he ʻā maka.

³⁰Pea ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku haohaoa hono hala: ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova: ko e fakaū ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala kiate ia.

³¹He ko hai ʻoku ʻOtua ka ko Sihova pē? Pe ko hai ʻae makatuʻu ka ko hotau ʻOtua pē?

³²Ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoku ne nonoʻo ʻaki au ʻae mālohi, ʻo fakahaohaoa hoku ʻaluʻanga.

³³‌ʻOku ne ngaohi hoku vaʻe ke hangē ko e vaʻe ʻoe hainiti, ʻo ne fokotuʻu au ki hoku ngaahi potu māʻolunga.

³⁴‌ʻOku ne akonakiʻi hoku nima ke tau, ko ia ʻoku fesiʻi ai ʻe hoku nima ʻae kaufana ukamea.

³⁵Pea kuo ke foaki foki kiate au ʻae fakaū ʻo hoʻo fakamoʻui: pea kuo poupou hake au ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu, pea ʻi hoʻo angamalū kuo ke hakeakiʻi au.

³⁶Kuo ke fakaʻataʻatā hoku ʻaluʻanga ʻi lalo ʻiate au, ko ia naʻe ʻikai hekea ai hoku vaʻe.

³⁷Naʻaku tuli hoku ngaahi fili ʻo maʻu ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe ʻikai te u toe foki kaeʻoua ke ʻauha ʻakinautolu.
