6 Neʼe au sio ki he tahi aluʼaga fakaʼofaʼofa ʼi te kele ʼe hoko tuʼumaʼu ki te hahaʼi: 2 ʼE foaki e te ʼAtua moʼoni ki he tagata ni koloa, mo ni meʼa lelei pea mo te kololia, ke ina maʼu ia meʼa fuli ʼae ʼe loto ki ai. Kae ʼe mole fakagafua e te ʼAtua moʼoni ke ina fakaʼaogaʼi, ko he tahi kehe ia ʼae ka ina fakaʼaogaʼi. Ko he aluʼaga ia ʼe vaʼiganoa mo fakaʼofaʼofa. 3 Kapau ʼe maʼu e he tagata hana ʼu fanau ʼe toko teau mo maʼuli fualoa ʼo kaku ki tana kua matuʼa, kae ʼe mole ina fakaʼaogaʼi ʼana meʼa lelei ʼi muʼa ʼo tana hifo ki te faitoka, ʼe mahino ia, ʼe lelei age te aluʼaga ʼo te toe ʼae neʼe tupu kua mate, ʼi te aluʼaga ʼo te tagata ʼaia.+ 4 Neʼe mole he ʼuhiga ʼo te haʼu ʼa te kiʼi toe ʼaia pea alu ki te fakapoʼuli, pea ko tona higoa ʼe pulinoa ʼi te fakapoʼuli. 5 Logope la neʼe heʼeki sio ki te laʼa pea ʼe mole ina iloʼi he meʼa, kae ʼe lelei age tona aluʼaga ʼi te aluʼaga ʼo te tagata ʼaia.+ 6 Kotea te ʼaoga ʼo takita maʼuli ia taʼu ʼe lua afe kae ʼe mole pe la kita fiafia ai? ʼE mole olo koa la te hahaʼi fuli ki he koga meʼa pe ʼe tahi?+
