4 Pea ʼe au ui, ʼi te kei veliveli ʼo ia ʼae ka maʼu tofiʼa, logo la ʼe ko ia te ʼaliki ʼo meʼa fuli, ʼe mole kehekehe ia mo he tagata kaugana. 2 Kae ʼe fakalogo ia ki te ʼu tagata leʼo pea mo te ʼu tagata tauhi ʼapi ʼo kaku ki te ʼaho ʼae kua fakatuʼutuʼu ki ai e tana tamai. 3 ʼO toe feia aipe mo tatou, ʼi tatatou kei liliki, neʼe tou mulimuli ki te ʼu aga mo te ʼu manatu ʼo te malama ʼaeni.+ 4 Kae ʼi te kua katoa leva ʼo te temi ʼae neʼe fakatuʼutuʼu ki ai, neʼe fekauʼi mai e te ʼAtua tona ʼAlo, ʼae neʼe tupu ʼi he fafine+ pea neʼe fakalogo ki te lao,+ 5 ke ina foaki te totogi moʼo fakaʼateainaʼi ia natou ʼae ʼe maʼuʼuli ʼo mulimuli ki te lao,+ pea ʼe tou liliu ai anai ko he ʼu foha ʼe vaheʼi e te ʼAtua.+

6 Pea ʼuhi ko koutou ʼe ko te ʼu foha ʼo te ʼAtua, neʼe ina foaki mai ki ʼotatou loto te laumalie maʼoniʼoni ʼae ʼe maʼu e tona ʼAlo,+ ʼo tou kalaga: “Apa,* Tamai!”+ 7 Koia ʼe mole kei ke kaugana, kae ko koe ʼe ko he foha ʼo te ʼAtua. Pea kapau ko koe ʼe ko he foha ʼo te ʼAtua, ʼe ina toe foaki atu anai mo te tofiʼa.+

8 Kae ʼi te temi ʼae neʼe heʼeki kotou iloʼi ai te ʼAtua, neʼe kotou kaugana ki ni ʼatua loi. 9 Kae ʼi te temi nei kua kotou iloʼi ia te ʼAtua, peʼe ʼi tona fakahagatonu, kua iloʼi koutou e te ʼAtua. Koia kotea te tupuʼaga ʼo takotou toe liliu ki te ʼu meʼa vaʼiganoa+ pea mo fehiʼaʼinaʼi ʼo te malama ʼaeni, pea mo kotou toe fia kaugana ki te ʼu meʼa ʼaia?+ 10 ʼE kotou mulimuli fakalelei ki te ʼu ʼaho, mo te ʼu mahina,+ mo te ʼu temi* pea mo te ʼu taʼu. 11 ʼE au tuʼania ʼo ʼuhiga mo koutou, naʼa alu noa ʼaku faiga ʼae ke au tokoni atu kia koutou.

12 Neʼe au toe hage pe la ko koutou ʼi te temi muʼa. Koia ʼu tehina, ʼe au kole atu ke kotou hage ko au ʼi te temi nei.+ Neʼe mole kotou fai mai he meʼa ʼe kovi. 13 Kae ʼe kotou iloʼi neʼe au ʼuluaki maʼu te faigamalie ʼae ke au tala atu te logo lelei kia koutou ʼuhi ko toku mahaki. 14 Pea logo la neʼe liliu toku mahaki ʼaia ko he ʼahiʼahi kia koutou, kae neʼe mole kotou fehihiʼa pea mo fakalialia kia* au. Kae neʼe kotou tali au ohage ko he ʼaselo ʼa te ʼAtua, ohage ko Kilisito* Sesu. 15 ʼE ʼifea koa ia te fiafia ʼaia neʼe kotou maʼu? Koteʼuhi ʼe au tui papau, ʼi te temi ʼaia, ka na pau la neʼe feala, neʼe kotou kapeʼi ʼokotou foʼi mata ʼo foaki mai kia au.+ 16 Pe kua au liliu koa ko hokotou fili he ʼe au fakaha atu ia te moʼoni? 17 ʼE faigaʼi fakamalotoloto e ʼihi ke natou fakalotoʼi koutou, kae ʼe mole natou fai ʼaki he fakatuʼutuʼu ʼe lelei. ʼE natou loto ke kotou fakamamaʼo mai ia au, ke kotou fia mulimuli ia natou. 18 Kae ʼe lelei foki mo kapau ʼe haga faiga fakamalotoloto ia he tahi ke ina fakalotoʼi koutou, ʼaki he ʼu fakatuʼutuʼu ʼe lelei, kae mole gata pe moka ʼe au nofo mo koutou. 19 Siʼaku ʼu fanau,+ ʼe au toe mamahi ʼo ʼuhiga mo koutou ohage ko te mamahi fanau ʼa he fafine, ʼo kaku ki takotou fakaʼata ia te ʼuluagaaga ʼo Kilisito. 20 ʼE au fakaʼamu age la ke au nofo mo koutou ʼi te lakaga nei pea ke kehe age taku faʼahiga palalau atu, he ʼe mole au mahino ki takotou aga.

21 Kotou fakaha mai, ia koutou ʼae ʼe fia maʼuʼuli ʼo mulimuli ki te lao, pe ʼe mole kotou iloʼi koa pe kotea ʼae ʼe ui ʼi te Lao? 22 Ohage la, neʼe tohi neʼe maʼu e Apalahamo ʼona foha ʼe toko lua, ko te tahi ʼaki te fafine faifekau+ pea ko te tahi ʼaki te fafine ʼateaina.+ 23 Neʼe tupu te tama ʼa te fafine faifekau ohage ko te fanau fuli,+ kae neʼe tupu te tama ʼa te fafine ʼateaina ʼuhi ko he fakapapau.+ 24 ʼE ʼi ai te fakaʼuhiga fakata ʼo te hisitolia ʼaia. Koteʼuhi ʼe fakata e te ʼu fafine ʼaia te ʼu fuakava ʼe lua. Ko te tahi ʼi te ʼu fuakava ʼaia neʼe fai ʼi te Moʼuga ʼo Sinai,+ ʼo tupu ai te ʼu fanau neʼe liliu ko he ʼu kaugana, pea ʼe fakata e Akale ia te fuakava ʼaia. 25 ʼE fakata e Akale te moʼuga ʼo Sinai,+ ʼae ʼe tuʼu ʼi Alapi pea mo te kolo ko Selusalemi ʼi te temi nei, he ʼe kaugana ia Selusalemi fakatahi mo ʼana fanau. 26 Kae ko te Selusalemi ʼae ʼi ʼoluga ʼe ʼateaina ia, pea ʼe ko ia tatatou faʼe.

27 Koteʼuhi neʼe tohi: “Ke ke fiafia, ia koe fafine paʼa, ʼae ʼe mole ke fanaunau. Kalaga fakafiafia ia koe fafine ʼae ʼe mole ke iloʼi te ʼu mamahi fanau. Koteʼuhi ʼe kaugamalie age te ʼu fanau ʼa te fafine ʼae ʼe liʼakina ʼi te ʼu fanau ʼa te fafine ʼae ʼe ʼi ai tona ʼohoana.”+ 28 Pea ʼu tehina, ʼe ko koutou te ʼu fanau ʼo te fakapapau ohage pe ko Isaake.+ 29 Pea ohage ko te temi muʼa, ko ia ʼae neʼe tupu ohage ko te fanau fuli neʼe ina fakatagaʼi ia ia ʼae neʼe tupu ʼaki te laumalie maʼoniʼoni,+ ʼe toe tatau foki ʼi te temi nei.+ 30 Kae kotea ʼae ʼe ui ʼi te ʼu Tohi Taputapu? “Kapu te fafine faifekau mo tana tama, koteʼuhi ʼe mole maʼu tofiʼa fakatahi anai te tama ʼa te fafine faifekau mo te tama ʼa te fafine ʼateaina.”+ 31 Koia ʼu tehina, ʼe mole ko tatou te ʼu fanau ʼa te fafine faifekau, kae ʼa te fafine ʼateaina.
