Saame 78:6-47

⁶Koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ia ʻe he toʻutangata ʻe hoko, ʻio, ʻae fānau ʻe fanauʻi; ʻaia tenau tupu hake ʻo fakahā ia ki heʻenau fānau:

⁷Koeʻuhi kenau ʻamanaki lelei maʻuaipē ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻoua naʻa fakangalongaloʻi ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻae ʻOtua, ka e tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau:

⁸Kaeʻoua naʻa tatau mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ko e toʻutangata paongataʻa mo angatuʻu; ko e toʻutangata naʻe ʻikai tenau teuteu honau loto ke lelei, pea naʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu honau laumālie ʻi he ʻOtua.

⁹Ko e fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi naʻe toʻo mahafutau, mo e ngaahi kaufana, naʻa nau hola ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tau.

¹⁰Naʻe ʻikai tenau fai ki he fuakava ʻae ʻOtua, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi tenau loto ke ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻene akonaki;

¹¹Pea naʻa nau fakangalongaloʻi ʻene ngaahi ngāue, mo ʻene ngaahi mana naʻa ne fakahā kiate kinautolu.

¹²Naʻa ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he ngoue ʻo Soani.

¹³Naʻe vaeua ʻe ia ʻae tahi, pea ne pule kenau ʻalu atu ai; pea ne ngaohi ʻae tahi ke tuʻu fakatafungofunga pē.

¹⁴Naʻa ne tataki foki ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻaki ʻae ʻao, pea ʻi he pō ʻaki ʻae maama ʻoe afi.

¹⁵Naʻe fahiʻi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi makatuʻu ʻi he toafa, pea ʻange ʻae inu kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ʻoku mei he loloto lahi.

¹⁶Naʻa ne ʻomi foki kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi vaitafe mei he makatuʻu, ʻo ne pule ke tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi vaitafe lahi.

¹⁷Pea naʻa nau toe fai angahala kiate ia, ʻi heʻenau fakahouhau ki he Fungani Māʻolunga ʻi he toafa.

¹⁸Pea naʻa nau ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae ʻOtua ʻi honau loto, ʻi heʻenau lea ke maʻu ʻae kakano ʻi heʻenau holi kovi.

¹⁹‌ʻIo, naʻa nau lauʻikoviʻi ʻae ʻOtua; naʻa nau pehē, “ʻE faʻa teuteu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae keinangaʻanga ʻi he toafa?

²⁰Vakai, naʻe taaʻi ʻe ia ʻae makatuʻu, pea puna mei ai ʻae ngaahi vai, pea pito ʻo fetāfeaki ʻae ngaahi vaitafe; te ne faʻa tuku mai foki ʻae mā? ʻE faʻa tokonaki ʻe ia ʻae kakano maʻa hono kakai?”

²¹Ko ia naʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa Sihova, pea houhau ia: ko ia naʻe tutu ai ʻae afi kia Sēkope, pea naʻe tupu hake foki ʻae tuputāmaki ki ʻIsileli;

²²Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tenau tui ki he ʻOtua, pea naʻe ʻikai ha falala ki heʻene fakamoʻui:

²³Neongo ʻene fekauʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻao ʻi ʻolunga, mo ʻene toʻo ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe langi,

²⁴‌ʻO ne tuku ke tō hifo ʻae mana kiate kinautolu kenau kai, pea ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae uite ʻoe langi.

²⁵Naʻe kai ʻe he tangata ʻae meʻakai ʻae kau ʻāngelo: naʻa ne tuku atu ʻae meʻakai kenau mākona ai.

²⁶Naʻe pule ʻe ia ke maʻili ʻae matangi hahake ʻi he langi: pea ne ʻomi mo e matangi tonga ʻi heʻene māfimafi.

²⁷Naʻe fakatō hifo ʻe ia ʻae kakano kiate kinautolu ʻo tatau mo e efu, mo e fanga manu kapakau ʻo hangē ko e ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi:

²⁸Pea naʻa ne tuku ke tō ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo honau fale fehikitaki, ʻo takatakai ʻi honau ngaahi nofoʻanga.

²⁹Ko ia naʻa nau kai, pea nau mākona: he naʻa ne ʻange kiate kinautolu ʻenau holi.

³⁰Naʻe ʻikai te nau mavahe mei heʻenau holi kovi. Ka ʻi he kei ʻi honau ngutu ʻae maʻanga,

³¹Naʻe hoko ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻae fungani kakai sino ʻiate kinautolu, pea ne tā hifo ʻae kau tangata kuo fili ʻi ʻIsileli.

³²Naʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ka naʻa nau kei fai angahala pē, ʻo ʻikai tui ki heʻene ngaahi ngāue mana.

³³Ko ia naʻa ne fakaʻosi ai honau ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he meʻa vaʻinga pē, mo honau ngaahi taʻu ʻi he mamahi.

³⁴Pea ʻi heʻene tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, naʻa nau toki kumi kiate ia: ʻonau tafoki ʻo fehuʻi fakavave ki he ʻOtua.

³⁵Pea naʻa nau manatu ko honau maka ʻae ʻOtua, pea ko honau huhuʻi ʻae ʻOtua māʻolunga.

³⁶Ka naʻa nau lapu kiate ia ʻi honau ngutu, ʻonau loi kiate ia ʻaki honau ʻelelo.

³⁷He naʻe ʻikai totonu honau loto kiate ia, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau tuʻumaʻu ʻi heʻene fuakava.

³⁸Ka naʻe fonu ia ʻi he ʻaloʻofa, ʻo ne fakamolemole ʻenau hia, pea naʻe ʻikai fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu: ʻIo, naʻe liunga lahi ʻene fakaafe hono houhau, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne ueʻi hake hono houhau kotoa pē.

³⁹He naʻa ne manatu ko e kakano pē ʻakinautolu; ko e matangi ʻoku mole atu, pea ʻikai toe haʻu.

⁴⁰Naʻe liunga fiha ʻenau fakahouhau kiate ia ʻi he toafa, pea fakamamahiʻi ia ʻi he potu lala!

⁴¹‌ʻIo, naʻa nau foki kimui pea ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae ʻOtua, ʻonau hūhūmamaʻi ʻae tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.

⁴²Naʻe ʻikai tenau manatu ki hono nima, pe ko e ʻaho naʻa ne fakamoʻui ai ʻakinautolu mei he fili.

⁴³Mo ʻene fai ʻene ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻi ʻIsipite, mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa mana ʻi he ngoue ʻo Soani:

⁴⁴Naʻa ne liliu honau ngaahi vaitafe ko e toto; mo honau ngaahi vai lahi, naʻe ʻikai tenau faʻa inu ai.

⁴⁵Naʻe fekau atu ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi lango kehekehe, ʻaia naʻe keina ʻakinautolu; mo e fanga poto, ʻaia naʻe fakakoviʻi ʻakinautolu.

⁴⁶Naʻe tuku foki ʻe ia ʻae fua ʻo ʻenau ngoue ki he ʻunufe, mo ʻenau ngāue ki he fanga heʻe.

⁴⁷Naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻenau ngaahi vaine ʻaki ʻae ʻuhamaka, mo ʻenau ʻakau ko e sukamino ʻaki ʻae momoko lahi.
