Te Tohi ʼa Sakopo 3:1-18
3 ʼOku tehina, ʼaua naʼa hahaʼi he kau faiako ia koutou, he ʼe kotou iloʼi ʼe mamafa age anai totatou fakamauʼi.+
2 He ʼe lahi te ʼu lakaga ʼe tou lakahala* fuli ai.+ Kapau ʼe mole lakahala he tahi ʼi hana palalau, ʼe ko he tagata haohaoa ia, ʼe feala ke ina toe puleʼi mo tona sino katoa.
3 Kapau ʼe tou ʼai he fakagutu ki te ʼu hosi ke natou fakalogo mai kia tatou, pea ʼe tou toe taki mo ʼonatou sino katoa.
4 Kotou toe tokagaʼi mo te ʼu vaka: Logope la tonatou lalahi pea mo tonatou ʼave e te ʼu matagi malohi, kae ʼe taki natou e te kiʼi foe veliveli ki te potu ʼae ʼe fia alu ki ai te tagata ʼae ʼe ina puke te foe.
5 Koia, ʼo toe feia pe, ko te ʼalelo ʼe ko he kiʼi koga ia ʼo te sino, kae ʼe lahi tana laupisi. Kotou tokagaʼi pe ʼe lava feafeaʼi ki he kiʼi afi hana tutu he toe vao matuʼa lahi.
6 Pea ko te ʼalelo ʼe toe hage ko he afi.+ ʼE ko he koga ʼo te sino ʼe ina fai te kovi pea ʼe ina ʼulihi te sino katoa.+ ʼE ina tutu te maʼuli ʼo he tahi ʼaki te afi ʼae ʼe haʼu mai te Seʼeni.*
7 Koteʼuhi ko te faʼahiga manu fekai fuli, mo te ʼu manulele fuli, mo te ʼu manu totolo fuli, mo te ʼu manu fuli ʼo te tai ʼe feala ke fakalalata pea kua fakalalata e te tagata.
8 Kae ʼe mole he tagata ʼe feala ke ina puleʼi te ʼalelo. ʼE mole feala hona taʼofi, ʼe agakovi, mo fonu ʼi te kafokona ʼe fakatupu mate.+
9 ʼAki te ʼalelo ʼe tou vikiʼi ia Sehova,* te Tamai, pea ʼe tou toe faitutuku ʼaki ki te tagata ʼae neʼe fakatupu “ki te pāki ʼo te ʼAtua.”+
10 ʼE haʼu mai te gutu ʼe tahi te tapuakina pea mo te faitutuku.
ʼOku tehina, ʼe mole tonu ke hoko te ʼu meʼa ʼaia.+
11 ʼE feala koa ke mapuna mai te vai malie mo te vai kona mai he matapuna vai ʼe tahi?
12 ʼOku tehina, ʼe feala koa ki he fuʼu fiku ke fua mai ko he ʼu foʼi oliveto, peʼe ki he fuʼu vite ke fua mai ko he ʼu foʼi fiku?+ Pea ʼe mole toe feala foki ke haʼu he vai malie mai he matapuna vai kona.
13 Ko ai koa ʼae ʼe poto mo ʼatamai ia koutou? Ke ina fakaha te faʼahi ʼaia ʼaki hana aga ʼe lelei pea mo he ʼu gaue ʼe ina fai ʼaki te agamalū ʼae ʼe haʼu mai te poto.
14 Kae kapau ʼe maʼu ʼi ʼokotou loto he maheka+ pea mo he lotofakafifihi,*+ ʼaua naʼa kotou laupisi+ pea mo kotou loi ki te moʼoni.
15 Ko te poto ʼaia ʼe mole haʼu ia mai ʼoluga. Kae ʼe fakakelekele,+ mo fakakakano, pea mo fakatemonio.
16 Koteʼuhi ka maʼu e he tahi te maheka mo te lotofakafifihi,* ʼe hoko ai te maveuveu pea mo te ʼu meʼa kovi fuli.+
17 Kae ko te poto ʼae mai ʼoluga, ʼuluaki ʼe maʼa,+ pea tokalelei,+ mo aga fakapotopoto,+ mo fakalogo ʼaki he lotolelei, mo fonu ʼi te manavaʼofa pea mo te ʼu fua lelei,+ ʼe mole fakapalatahi,+ pea ʼe mole malualoi.+
18 Pea tahi ʼae, ko te fua ʼo te faitotonu ʼe nunusi ʼi te tokalelei+ maʼa* natou ʼae ʼe natou kumi te tokalelei.+
