5 Kae neʼe lahi te meo ʼa te hahaʼi pea mo ʼonatou ʼohoana ʼuhi ko ʼonatou tehina Sutea.+ 2 Neʼe ui e ʼihi: “ ʼE matou kaugamalie, ia matou mo ʼomatou foha pea mo ʼomatou ʼofafine. ʼE tonu ke matou maʼu hamatou meʼa kai ke matou kai pea mo maʼuʼuli ai.” 3 Neʼe ui e ʼihi: “Neʼe matou foaki ʼamatou gaueʼaga fulumeto, mo ʼamatou gaueʼaga vite pea mo ʼomatou ʼapi* ke feala ai hamatou maʼu he meʼa kai ʼi te temi hoge.” 4 Pea neʼe ui e ʼihi: “Neʼe matou toʼo maʼua ʼaki ʼamatou gaueʼaga fulumeto pea mo ʼamatou gaueʼaga vite, ke feala ai hamatou totogi te tukuhau ʼa te hau.+ 5 Kae koʼeni ʼe matou kakano mo toto tahi mo ʼomatou tehina,* pea ʼe hage pe ʼomatou foha ko ʼonatou foha. Kae ʼe tonu ke matou tuku ʼomatou foha mo ʼomatou ʼofafine ke natou liliu ko he ʼu kaugana, pea ko ʼihi ʼo ʼomatou ʼofafine kua natou kaugana.+ ʼE mole matou maʼu he puleʼaki moʼo fakagata te aluʼaga ʼaia, he ʼe ko ʼamatou gaueʼaga fulumeto pea mo ʼamatou gaueʼaga vite ʼe maʼu e niʼihi age.”
6 ʼI taku logo ki tanatou meo pea mo ʼanatou palalau ʼaia, neʼe kovi ʼosi toku ita. 7 Koia neʼe au fakakaukauʼi leva te ʼu faʼahi ʼaia ʼi toku loto, pea neʼe au valokiʼi leva te kau ʼaliki pea mo te ʼu tagata ʼae ʼe hoa ki te kau pule, ʼo au ui age kia natou: “ ʼE kotou tahi fakamaʼua ki tona tehina totonu he tupu mai tona maʼua.”+
Pea tahi ʼae meʼa, neʼe au fakatuʼutuʼu ke fai he fakatahi lahi ʼuhi ko natou. 8 Pea neʼe au ui kia natou: “Neʼe matou totogi ʼotatou tehina Sutea ʼae neʼe fakatau ki te ʼu puleʼaga, ʼo mulimuli pe ki te meʼa ʼae neʼe matou fealagia. Kae ʼi te lakaga nei, ʼe kotou fia fakatau koa ʼokotou tehina,+ pea ʼe tonu anai koa ke matou totogi natou?” Neʼe natou nonofo fakalologo ai, pea neʼe mole hanatou tali ki ai. 9 Neʼe au ui leva: “ ʼE mole lelei te meʼa ʼae ʼe kotou fai. ʼE mole tonu koa la ke kotou haʼele ʼi te manavasiʼi ki totatou ʼAtua,+ ke mole manukiʼi ai tatou e te ʼu puleʼaga, ʼae ko ʼotatou fili? 10 Pea tahi ʼae meʼa, ko au, mo ʼoku tehina pea mo taku kau gaue neʼe matou foaki kia natou he falā mo he meʼa kai ʼe tonu ke natou toe liufaki mai. Fakalelei siʼokotou loto, kae tuku tatatou fakamaʼua kia natou he tupu mai tonatou maʼua.+ 11 Fakalelei siʼokotou loto, kae ke kotou toe liufaki age kia natou ʼi te ʼaho ʼaeni, ʼanatou gaueʼaga fulumeto,*+ mo ʼanatou gaueʼaga vite, mo ʼanatou gaueʼaga oliveto pea mo ʼonatou ʼapi. Pea kotou toe liufaki foki mo te tupu ʼae ʼe kotou fakamaʼua kia natou, ʼae ko te vahe tahi ki te teau* ʼo te falā, mo te fulumeto, mo te vino foʼou pea mo te lolo.”
12 Neʼe natou tali leva: “ ʼE matou toe liufaki anai kia natou te ʼu meʼa ʼaia pea ʼe mole matou toe kole anai he meʼa kia natou. ʼE matou fai pe anai ohage ko te meʼa ʼae kua ke palalau ki ai.” Koia neʼe au pauʼi ai te kau pelepitelo pea mo au kole ki te ʼu tagata ʼaia ke natou fakapapau ʼe natou fakahoko anai. 13 Pea neʼe au tutuʼi toku kofu, ʼo ui: “Ke luluʼi feiaʼi e te ʼAtua moʼoni te tagata ʼae ʼe mole ina fakahoko te fakapapau ʼaia, pea ke ina fakamavae mai tona ʼapi pea mo ʼona koloa, ʼei, ke luluʼi feiaʼi ia ia pea ke nofo masiva.” Neʼe tali e te hahaʼi fuli: “Ameni!”* Pea neʼe natou fakavikiviki kia Sehova, pea neʼe fakahoko leva e te hahaʼi tanatou fakapapau.
14 Pea tahi ʼae meʼa, talu mai te ʼaho ʼae neʼe fakanofo ai au e te hau ko tonatou kovana+ ʼi te fenua ʼo Suta, mai te 20 taʼu+ ki te 32 taʼu+ ʼo te pule ʼa te Hau ko Aletasese,+ ko au mo ʼoku tehina, neʼe mole matou kai ʼi te ʼu taʼu ʼaia ʼe 12 ia te pane ʼae neʼe tonu ke foaki ki te kovana.+ 15 Kae ko te kau kovana ʼafeā, ʼae neʼe muʼa atu ia au, neʼe natou fakamafasiaʼi te hahaʼi pea mo fakamaʼua kia natou te ʼu sikele* siliva ʼe 40 moʼo totogi ʼaki te pane mo te vino ʼi te ʼaho fuli. Pea neʼe gaohi koviʼi e tanatou kau gaue ia te hahaʼi. Kae neʼe mole au fai te faʼahi ʼaia+ ʼuhi ko taku manavasiʼi ki te ʼAtua.+
16 Pea tahi ʼae meʼa, neʼe au tokoni ki te laga ʼo te kaupa ʼaia, pea neʼe mole matou totogi hamatou gaueʼaga.+ Neʼe fakatahi taku kau gaue fuli ki te fai ʼo te gaue. 17 Neʼe kakai ʼi toku laupapa ia te toko 150, neʼe ko te kau Sutea mo te ʼu tagata ʼae ʼe hoa ki te kau pule, kae neʼe mole lau ai ia natou ʼae neʼe ʼomai mai te ʼu puleʼaga. 18 ʼI te ʼaho fuli, neʼe teuteuʼi he vitulo ʼe tahi, mo he ʼu ovi lelei ʼe ono pea mo he ʼu manulele neʼe au totogi,* pea tuʼa tahi ʼi te ʼu ʼaho ʼe hogofulu, neʼe lahi te ʼu faʼahiga vino kehekehe ʼae neʼe teuteuʼi maʼa matou. Logo la te ʼu faʼahi fuli ʼaia, kae neʼe mole au kole te meʼa kai ʼae neʼe tonu ke foaki ki te kovana, he neʼe kua mafasia te hahaʼi ʼi tanatou gaue. 19 “Siʼoku ʼAtua, ke ke manatuʼi au pea mo ke tapuakiʼi au, ʼuhi ko te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae neʼe au fai maʼa te hahaʼi ʼaeni.”+
