Ko e Tohi ʻa Sēmisi 1:1-27
1 Ko au Sēmisi,+ ko ha tamaioʻeiki ʻa e ʻOtuá pea mo e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí, ko e tohi atu ki he matakali ʻe 12 ʻa ia ʻoku nau movetevete holó:
Mālō e tau mo ena!
2 Mou lau ko e koto fakafiefia, ʻe hoku fanga tokoua, ʻa e taimi ʻoku mou fetaulaki ai mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi kehekehé,+
3 ʻi he ʻiloʻi ko hoʻomou hokosia iá ʻoku fakatupu ai ʻe hoʻomou tui ko ʻeni kuo ʻosi siviʻí ʻa e kātaki.+
4 Kae tuku muʻa ke fakakakato ʻe he kātakí ʻene ngāué, koeʻuhi ke mou hoko ai ʻo kakato mo haohaoa ʻi he ngaahi tafaʻaki kotoa pē, ʻo ʻikai masiva ʻi ha meʻa.+
5 Ko ia kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha taha ʻo kimoutolu ʻoku masiva ʻi he potó, tuku ke ne hanganaki kole ki he ʻOtuá,+ he ʻokú ne foaki nima-homo ki he faʻahinga kotoa ʻo ʻikai te ne ʻoatu mo e lau,*+ pea ʻe foaki ia kiate ia.+
6 Kae tuku ke ne hanganaki kole ʻi he tui,+ ʻo ʻikai ha veiveiua ʻe taha,+ he ko e tokotaha ʻoku veiveiuá ʻokú ne hangē ko e peau ʻo e tahí ʻa ia ʻoku ʻave takai mo fepaleʻekina holo ʻe he matangí.
7 Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke ʻamanekina ʻe he tangata ko iá te ne maʻu ha meʻa meia Sihova;*
8 ko ha tangata lotolotoua ia,+ ʻoku ʻikai te ne pau ki ha meʻa ʻi heʻene ngaahi founga kotoa pē.
9 Kae tuku ki he tokoua ʻoku māʻulaló ke ne fiefia* ʻi hono hakeakiʻi iá,+
10 pea ke fiefia ʻa e tokotaha koloaʻiá ʻi heʻene ako ʻo ʻiloʻi ʻa e anga-fakatōkilaló,+ he ko e tokotaha koloaʻiá te ne mole atu ʻo hangē ha matalaʻiʻakau ʻo e ngoué.
11 He ʻoku hangē pē ko e ʻalu hake ʻa e laʻaá mo ʻene vela kakahá ʻo mae ai ʻa e ʻakaú, pea ngangana hono matalá pea mole atu ʻene hā fakaʻofoʻofá, ko ia ʻe pehē pē ʻa e mole atu ʻa e tangata koloaʻiá ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi meʻa ʻokú ne tuli ki aí.+
12 Fiefia ē ka ko e tangata ko ia ʻokú ne hanganaki kātakiʻi ʻa e ʻahiʻahí,+ koeʻuhí ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo maʻu ʻa e hōifuá te ne maʻu ai ʻa e kalauni ʻo e moʻuí,+ ʻa ia naʻe talaʻofa ʻe Sihova* ki he faʻahinga ʻoku hokohoko atu ʻenau ʻofa kiate Iá.+
13 ʻI he tofanga ʻi he ʻahiʻahí, tuku ke ʻoua naʻa pehē ʻe ha taha: “Kuo ʻahiʻahiʻi au ʻe he ʻOtuá.” He ʻoku ʻikai malava ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku koví, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻaki ia ha taha.
14 Ka ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻa e tokotaha taki taha ʻi hono tohoakiʻi mo fakataueleʻi* ʻe heʻene holi pē ʻaʻaná.+
15 Ko e holí leva, ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo tuʻituʻiá, ʻokú ne fanauʻi mai ʻa e angahala; ko e angahalá leva, ʻi he ʻosi hono fakahokó, ʻokú ne ʻomai ʻa e mate.+
16 ʻOua naʻa takihalaʻi kimoutolu, siʻoku fanga tokoua ʻofeina.
17 Ko e meʻaʻofa lelei kotoa pē mo e foaki haohaoa kotoa pē ʻoku mei ʻolunga ia,+ ʻoku ʻalu hifo ia mei he Tamai ʻo e ngaahi maama fakalangí,+ ʻa ē ʻoku ʻikai haʻane liliu pe fetongitongi ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻata feliuliuakí.+
18 Koeʻuhí ko ʻene taumuʻá ia, naʻá ne ʻai ai kitautolu ke tau moʻui ʻaki hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e pōpoaki ʻo e moʻoní.+ Naʻá ne fai ení koeʻuhí ke tau hoko ai ko e ʻuluaki fua ʻo ʻene ngaahi meʻa fakatupú.+
19 Ke mou ʻilo ʻa e meʻá ni, siʻoku fanga tokoua ʻofeina: Ko e tokotaha kotoa pē kuo pau ke ne vave ki he fanongo, fakatuotuai ki he lea,+ fakatuotuai ki he ʻita,+
20 he ko e ʻita ʻa e tangatá ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakahāhā ai ʻa e māʻoniʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá.+
21 Ko ia ai, huʻihuʻi atu ʻa e kinohaʻa kotoa pē mo e kovi kotoa pē,*+ pea tali anga-malū ʻa hono tō ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa e folofolá ʻa ia ʻoku malava ke ne fakahaofi kimoutolú.
22 Kae kehe, mou hoko ko e kau fai ki he folofolá+ ʻo ʻikai ko e kau fanongo pē, pea ʻe ʻikai ke kākaaʻi ai kimoutolu ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi fakaʻuhinga loí.
23 He kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha taha ko ha tokotaha fanongo ki he folofolá ʻo ʻikai ko ha tokotaha fai ki ai,+ ʻoku hangē ʻa e tokotahá ni ko ha tangata ʻokú ne sio ki hono fofonga ʻoʻoná ʻi ha sioʻata.
24 He ʻokú ne sio atu kiate ia, peá ne mavahe atu ʻo ʻalu pea ngalo leva ai pe ko e faʻahinga tokotaha fēfē ia.
25 Ka ko e tokotaha ʻokú ne sio fakamamaʻu ki he lao haohaoa+ ʻokú ne ʻomai ʻa e tauʻatāiná pea hanganaki muimui aí kuó ne hoko ai, ʻo ʻikai ko ha tokotaha fanongo pea ngalo, ka ko ha tokotaha fai ʻo e ngāué, pea te ne fiefia ʻi heʻene fai iá.+
26 Kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha tangata ʻokú ne fakakaukau ko ha tokotaha lotu ia ki he ʻOtuá, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne hanganaki mapuleʻi fefeka* hono ʻeleló,+ ʻokú ne kākaaʻi pē ʻa hono loto ʻoʻoná, pea ko ʻene lotú ko e muna pē.
27 Ko e founga lotu ʻoku maʻa mo taʻeʻuliʻi ʻi he anga ʻo e vakai ʻa hotau ʻOtuá mo e Tamaí ʻa eni: Ke tokangaʻi ʻa e kau paeá+ mo e kau uitoú+ ʻi heʻenau faingataʻaʻiá,+ pea ke te tauhi kita ke taʻehaʻila mei he māmaní.+
