Taniela

12 “ ʼI te temi ʼaia, ʼe tuʼu ake anai ia Mikaele,*+ te tama ʼaliki lahi+ ʼae ʼe lolotoga tokoni ki tau hahaʼi.* Pea ʼe ko he temi mamahi anai neʼe heʼeki hoko talu mai te tuʼu ʼo he puleʼaga ʼo kaku ki te temi ʼaia. ʼE hao anai tau hahaʼi ʼi te temi ʼaia,+ ia natou fuli ʼae ʼe tuʼu ʼonatou higoa ʼi te tohi.+ 2 Pea ʼe ʼaʼala ake anai he tokolahi ia natou ʼae kua mamate.* ʼE maʼuli anai ʼihi ʼo heʼe gata kae maʼuli ufiufi anai ʼihi ʼo talu ai.

3 “ ʼE gigila anai te kau fakasiosio poto ohage ko te malamagia ʼo te lagi. Pea ʼe gigila anai ia natou ʼae ʼe tokoni ki te tokolahi ke natou faitotonu. ʼE natou gigila anai ohage ko te ʼu fetuʼu, ʼo talu ai.

4 “Kae ko koe, Taniela, taupau te ʼu folafola ʼaia pea ʼaua naʼa fakaha. Pea ke ke fakamaʼu te tohi ʼo aʼu ki te temi fakaʼosi.+ ʼE feoloʼaki anai te tokolahi ʼi he mo he,* pea ʼe mahu anai te ʼatamai malama moʼoni.”+

5 Pea ko au, Taniela, neʼe au sio ki he tahi foʼi toko lua neʼe tutuʼu ʼi ai, ko te tahi ʼi te kauvai ʼaeni pea ko te tahi ʼi te kauvai ʼae.+ 6 Pea neʼe fehuʼi e te tahi ia naua ki te tagata teu lino,+ ʼae neʼe tuʼu ʼi te fuga vai tafe: “Ko temi ʼe fia ʼe hoko ai anai te ʼu aluʼaga fakaofoofo fuli ʼaia?” 7 Neʼe au logo leva ki te palalau ʼa te tagata teu lino ʼae neʼe tuʼu ʼi te fuga vai tafe. Neʼe ina hiki ake ʼona nima ki te lagi, pea neʼe ina fakapapau ʼi te huafa ʼo Ia ʼae ʼe maʼuli ʼo talu ai:+ “ ʼE hoko anai ʼi he temi, mo he ʼu temi pea mo he vaeluaʼi temi.* Pea ka ʼosi maumauʼi pe te malohi ʼo te hahaʼi maʼoniʼoni,+ pea gata ai leva te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼaia.”

8 Pea neʼe au logo ki ai, kae neʼe mole au mahino.+ Koia neʼe au fehuʼi age ai: “Siʼoku ʼaliki, ʼe fakaʼosi feafeaʼi anai te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼaia?”

9 Pea neʼe ina ui mai: “Alu, Taniela, he ʼe tonu ke taupau te ʼu folafola ʼaia pea ke ʼaua naʼa fakaha. Pea ʼe tonu ke fakamaʼu te tohi ʼo aʼu ki te temi fakaʼosi.+ 10 ʼE fakamaʼa anai e te tokolahi ia natou totonu, pea ʼe ʼahiʼahiʼi anai natou.+ ʼE agakovi pe anai te kau agakovi, pea ʼe mole mahino anai he agakovi. Kae ʼe mahino anai te kau fakasiosio poto.+

11 “ ʼE ʼi ai anai ʼaho ʼe 1 290, mai te temi ʼae ʼe mole toe fai ai te sakilifisio ʼae ʼe tonu ke momoli tuʼumaʼu,*+ pea mo fakatuʼu ai te meʼa fakalialia ʼae ʼe ina fakatupu te maumau.+

12 “Fiafia ia ia ʼae ʼe haga talitali mo aʼu ki te fakaʼosi ʼo te ʼu ʼaho ʼe 1 335!

13 “Kae ko koe, ke ke tuʼu malohi ʼo aʼu ki te fakaʼosi. ʼE ke malolo anai, pea ʼe ke tuʼu ake anai ke ke maʼu tou fakapale* ʼi te fakaʼosi ʼo te ʼu ʼaho.”+
