Hanganaki faiakoʻaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni mo fai ʻa e ngaahi ekinakí ni. 3 Kapau ʻoku faiakoʻaki ʻe ha tangata ha toe tokāteline ʻe taha pea ʻikai loto-tatau mo e fakahinohino leleí,*+ ʻa ia ʻoku mei hotau ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí, pea pehē ki he akonaki ʻoku fehoanaki mo e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá,+ 4 ʻokú ne fakafuofuolahi ʻi he hīkisia pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne mahinoʻi ha meʻa.+ ʻOkú ne nōfoʻi* ʻi he ngaahi fakafekiki mo e ngaahi fakakikihi fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi foʻi lea.+ ʻOku langaʻi ʻe he ngaahi meʻá ni ʻa e meheka, fekeʻikeʻi, laukovi loi,* ngaahi huʻuhuʻu fulikivanu, 5 ngaahi fakakikihi hokohoko ʻoku fai ʻe he kau tangata ʻo fekauʻaki mo e fanga kiʻi meʻa iiki, ʻa ia kuo fakameleʻi ai honau ʻatamaí+ pea ʻikai te nau maʻu ʻa e moʻoní, ʻo nau fakakaukau ko e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá ko ha founga ia ke maʻu ai ha meʻa.+ 6 Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku maʻu ʻa e meʻa lahi ʻi he anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá+ fakataha mo e fiemālié.* 7 He kuo ʻikai ke tau ʻomai ha meʻa ki he māmaní, pea heʻikai lava ke tau ʻave mei ai ha meʻa.+ 8 Ko ia ʻi hono maʻu ha meʻakai mo ha valá,* te tau fiemālie pē ʻi he ngaahi meʻá ni.+
9 Ka ko e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku nau fakapapauʻi ke nau koloaʻiá ʻoku nau tō ki he fakatauele mo ha tauhele+ pea mo e ngaahi holi fakasesele mo fakatupu maumau lahi ʻa ia ʻoku tūʻulu atu ai ʻa e tangatá ki he ʻauha mo e maumau.+ 10 He ko e ʻofa ki he paʻangá ko ha aka ia ʻo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku koví, pea ʻi he kakapa atu ki he ʻofa ko ʻení kuo takiheeʻi ai ʻa e niʻihi mei he tuí pea kuo nau hokohokaʻi fakaʻaufuli ai kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi mamahi lahi.+
11 Kae kehe, ko koe, ʻe tangata ʻa e ʻOtuá, hola mei he ngaahi meʻá ni. Kae tuli ki he māʻoniʻoní, anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá, tuí, ʻofá, kātakí, mo e anga-maluú.+ 12 Faitau tōtōivi ke maluʻi ʻa e tui faka-Kalisitiané; piki maʻu ki he moʻui taʻengatá ʻa ia naʻe ui koe ki aí pea ko ia naʻá ke talaki fakahāhā lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo e kau fakamoʻoni tokolahí.
13 ʻI he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakatolonga ke moʻui ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, pea mo Kalaisi Sīsū, ʻa ia naʻá ne fai ha fakamoʻoni lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Ponitō Pailató,+ ʻoku ou ʻoatu kiate koe ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni 14 ke ke tauhi ʻa e fekaú ʻi ha founga taʻemele mo taʻealatukuakiʻi kae ʻoua ke fakahaaʻi ʻe hotau ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí ʻa hono lāngilangí.+ 15 Ko e Tokotaha Pule fiefia pē ʻe tahá te ne fakahaaʻi ʻa hono lāngilangí ʻi he taimi kuo kotofá. Ko e Tuʻi ia ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku pule ko e ngaahi tuʻí pea ko e ʻEiki ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku pule ko e ngaahi ʻeikí,+ 16 ʻa e tokotaha pē ko ia ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e taʻefaʻamaté,+ ʻa ia ʻokú ne ʻafio ʻi he maama ʻoku taʻealaaʻu ki ai,+ ʻa ia kuo ʻikai ha tangata kuó ne mātā pe malava ke mamata ki ai.+ Ke ʻiate ia ʻa e lāngilangí mo e mālohí ʻo taʻengata. ʻĒmeni.

20 ʻE Tīmote, maluʻi ʻa e meʻa kuo tuku atu kiate koé,+ ʻo ke hanga kehe mei he ngaahi lea taʻeʻaonga ʻa ia ʻokú ne maumauʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku toputapú pea mei he ngaahi fakakaukau fepakipaki kuo ui halaʻi ko e “ʻiló.”+ 21 ʻI he fiehāʻaki ʻa e ʻilo peheé, kuo hē ai ʻa e niʻihi mei he tuí.
Fakatauange ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa e ʻofa maʻataʻataá.
