23 “ʻOiauē ʻa e kau tauhi-sipi ʻoku nau fakaʻauha mo fakamovetevete ʻa e fanga sipi ʻo ʻeku kaikaiʻangá!” Ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.+
2 Ko ia ai, ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí ki he kau tauhi-sipi ʻoku nau tauhi ʻa hoku kakaí: “Kuo mou fakamovetevete ʻa ʻeku fanga sipí; kuo mou hanganaki ʻai kinautolu ke nau movete, pea kuo ʻikai ke mou tokanga kiate kinautolu.”+
“Ko ia te u fai ha tokanga kiate kimoutolu koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou ngaahi ngāue koví,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
3 “Te u fakatahatahaʻi leva ʻa e toenga ʻo ʻeku fanga sipí mei he ngaahi fonua kotoa naʻá ku fakamovetevete ai kinautolú,+ pea te u fakafoki kinautolu ki honau kaikaiʻangá,+ pea te nau fanafanau pea hoko ʻo tokolahi.+ 4 Pea te u fokotuʻu ke pule kiate kinautolu ha kau tauhi-sipi ʻa ia te nau tauhi moʻoni kinautolu.+ Heʻikai te nau toe hoko ʻo ilifia pe manavahē, pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe mole,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
5 “Vakai! ʻOku haʻu ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, “ʻa ia te u fokotuʻu hake ai ha huli*+ māʻoniʻoni mei he laine ʻo Tēvitá. Pea te ne pule ko ha tuʻi+ pea te ne fakahaaʻi ʻa e vavanga fakaefakakaukau mo pouaki ʻa e fakamaau totonú mo e māʻoniʻoní ʻi he fonuá.+ 6 ʻI hono ngaahi ʻahó, ʻe fakahaofi ai ʻa Siuta,+ pea ʻe nofo malu ʻa ʻIsileli.+ Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻe uiʻaki iá: Ko Sihova ʻa Hotau Māʻoniʻoniʻangá.”+
7 “Ka neongo ia, ʻoku haʻu ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, “ʻa ia heʻikai te nau toe pehē ai: ‘ʻOku ou fuakava ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua moʻuí, ʻa ia naʻá ne ʻomai ʻa e kakai ʻIsilelí mei he fonua ko ʻIsipité!’+ 8 Ka te nau pehē: ‘ʻOku ou fuakava ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua moʻuí, ʻa ia naʻá ne fakahū ki tuʻa mo fakafoki mai ʻa e hako ʻo e fale ʻo ʻIsilelí mei he fonua ʻo e tokelaú pea mei he ngaahi fonua kotoa naʻá ku fakamovete ai kinautolú,’ pea te nau nofo ʻi honau fonua totonú.”+
9 ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e kau palōfitá:
ʻOku fasi hoku lotó ʻi loto ʻiate au.
ʻOku tete hoku ngaahi huí kotoa.
ʻOku ou hangē ha tangata ʻoku konaá
Pea hangē ha tangata ʻoku ikuʻi ʻe he uainé,
Koeʻuhí ko Sihova pea koeʻuhí ko ʻene ngaahi lea māʻoniʻoní.
10 He ʻoku fonu ʻa e fonuá ʻi he kau tono;+
ʻOku fakamamahi ʻa e fonuá koeʻuhi kuo tō ki ai ha mala+
Pea ko e ngaahi kaikaiʻanga ʻi he toafá kuo pakukā.+
ʻOku kovi honau ʻalungá, pea ʻoku nau ngāuekoviʻaki honau mafaí.
11 “Kuo ʻuliʻi*+ fakatouʻosi ʻa e kau palōfitá mo e kau taulaʻeikí.
Naʻa mo e ʻi hoku falé tonu kuó u ʻilo ai ʻa ʻenau fulikivanú,”+ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
12 “Ko ia ko honau halá ʻe hoko ʻo hekeheke mo fakapoʻuli;+
ʻE tekeʻi kinautolu pea te nau tō.
He te u ʻomi ha fakatamaki kiate kinautolu
ʻI he taʻu ʻo honau tauteá,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
13 “Pea kuó u sio ʻi ha meʻa fakalielia ʻi he kau palōfita ʻo Samēliá.+
Ko ʻenau ngaahi kikité ʻoku fai ia ʻia Pēali,
Pea ʻoku nau takiheeʻi ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsilelí.
14 Pea kuó u sio ʻi ha ngaahi meʻa fakalilifu ʻi he kau palōfita ʻo Selusalemá.
ʻOku nau fai ʻa e tono+ mo ʻaʻeva ʻi he loí;+
ʻOku nau fakaʻaiʻai ʻa e* kau faikoví,
Pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau tafoki mei heʻenau tōʻonga fulikivanú.
ʻOku nau hangē kotoa kiate au ko Sōtomá,+
Pea ko e kau nofo ko eni ʻi Selusalemá ʻoku nau hangē ko Komolá.”+
15 Ko ia ai, ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau ki he kau palōfitá:
“Ko eni ʻoku ou ʻai kinautolu ke nau kai ʻa e ʻakau ifo kona
Peá u ʻoange kiate kinautolu ʻa e vai kona ke nau inu.+
He kuo mafola atu ki he fonuá kotoa mei he kau palōfita ʻo Selusalemá ʻa e tafoki ʻo fakafepaki ki he moʻoní.”
16 Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau:
“ʻOua ʻe fanongo ki he lea ʻa e kau palōfita ʻoku nau kikite atu kiate kimoutolú.+
ʻOku nau takihalaʻi kimoutolu.*
17 ʻOku nau toutou lea ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau taʻefakaʻapaʻapa kiate aú,
‘Kuo folofola ʻa Sihova: “Te mou maʻu ʻa e melino.”’+
Pea ʻoku nau pehē ki he tokotaha kotoa ʻoku muimui ʻi hono loto-fefeka pē ʻoʻoná,
‘ʻE ʻikai ke hoko mai ha fakatamaki kiate kimoutolu.’+
18 He ko hai ia kuó ne tuʻu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kakai ʻoku ofi kia Sihová
Ke sio mo fanongo ki heʻene folofolá?
Ko hai kuó ne tokanga ki heʻene folofolá koeʻuhi ke ne fanongo ki aí?
19 Vakai! Ko e matangi mālohi ʻa Sihová ʻe haʻaki atu ʻi heʻene houhaú;
ʻI he hangē ha matangi ʻahiohió ʻe vilo hifo ia ki he ʻulu ʻo e kau fulikivanú.+
20 Ko e houhau ʻa Sihová ʻe ʻikai ke foki
Kae ʻoua kuó ne fakahoko mo lavaʻi ʻa e ngaahi taumuʻa ʻo hono lotó.
ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí te mou mahinoʻi lelei ai eni.
21 Naʻe ʻikai te u fekauʻi ʻa e kau palōfitá, ka naʻa nau lele,
Naʻe ʻikai te u lea kiate kinautolu, ka naʻa nau kikite.+
22 Ka ʻo kapau naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kakai ʻoku ofi kiate aú,
Naʻa nau mei ʻai hoku kakaí ke nau fanongo ki heʻeku leá
Pea naʻa nau mei ʻai kinautolu ke nau tafoki mei honau ʻalunga koví pea mei heʻenau ngaahi ngāue koví.”+
23 “Ko ha ʻOtua pē koā au ʻoku ofi mai,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, “ʻo ʻikai foki ko ha ʻOtua mei he mamaʻó?”
24 “ʻE lava ke toitoi ha tangata ʻi ha feituʻu fakapulipuli ʻa ia ʻe ʻikai lava ke u sio ai kiate ia?”+ Ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
“ʻIkai ʻoku ou kātoi ʻa e langí mo e māmaní?”+ Ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
25 “Kuó u fanongo ʻi he kau palōfita ʻoku nau kikite loi ʻi hoku hingoá ʻo pehē, ‘Kuó u misi! Kuó u misi!’+ 26 Ko e hā hono fuoloa ʻa e hokohoko atu ʻa e meʻá ni ʻi he loto ʻo e kau palōfitá, ke nau kikite loí? Ko e kau palōfita kinautolu ʻoku nau leaʻaki ʻa e kākā mei honau lotó.+ 27 ʻOku nau taumuʻa ke ʻai ke ngalo ʻi hoku kakaí ʻa hoku hingoá ʻi he ngaahi misi ʻoku nau fakamatala ʻiate kinautolú, ʻo hangē pē ko e ngalo ʻi heʻenau ngaahi tamaí ʻa hoku hingoá koeʻuhi ko Pēalí.+ 28 Tuku ki he palōfita ʻoku ʻi ai haʻane misí ke ne fakamatalaʻi ʻa e misí, ka ko e tokotaha ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa ʻeku leá ʻoku totonu ke ne lea moʻoni ʻaki ʻa ʻeku leá.”
“Ko e hā ha vāvātatau ʻa e kauʻi uité mo e uité?” Ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
29 “ʻIkai ko ʻeku leá ʻoku hangē tofu pē ha afí,”+ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, “pea hangē ha hāmala ʻokú ne laiki ha fuʻu maká?”+
30 “Ko ia ko au eni te u tautea ʻa e kau palōfitá,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, “ʻa kinautolu ʻoku nau mioʻi ʻa ʻeku leá, koeʻuhí ke nau tala ki he kakaí ʻa e meʻa ʻoku nau loto ki aí.”+
31 “Ko eni te u tautea ʻa e kau palōfitá,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, “ʻa kinautolu ʻoku nau ngāueʻaki honau ʻeleló ke pehē, ‘Ko ha folofola eni meiate ia!’”+
32 “Ko eni te u tautea ʻa e kau palōfita ʻoku nau misi loí,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, “ʻa ia ʻoku nau fakamatalaʻi ia pea takiheeʻi ʻa hoku kakaí koeʻuhí ko ʻenau ngaahi loí mo ʻenau pōlepolé.”+
“Ka naʻe ʻikai ke u tuku atu kinautolu pe fekauʻi kinautolu. Ko ia ʻe ʻikai hanau ʻaonga ʻe taha ki he kakaí ni,”+ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
33 “Pea ʻi he taimi ʻe ʻeke atu ai kiate koe ʻe he kakaí ni pe ko ha palōfita pe ko ha taulaʻeiki, ‘Ko e hā ʻa e kavenga* ʻa Sihová?’ te ke tali kiate kinautolu, ‘“Ko e kakai ko kimoutolú ʻa e kavengá! Pea te u siʻaki kimoutolu,”+ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.’ 34 Ko e meʻa ki he palōfita pe ko e taulaʻeiki pe ko e kakai ʻoku nau pehē, ‘Ko eni ʻa e kavenga* ʻa Sihová!’ Te u fai ha tokanga ki he tangata ko iá pea ki hono falé. 35 Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku mou leaʻaki taki taha ki hono kaungāʻapi pea ki hono tokouá, ‘Ko e hā ʻa e tali kuo fai mai ʻe Sihová? Pea ko e hā kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihová?’ 36 Ka ko e kavenga* ʻa Sihová ke ʻoua naʻa mou toe leaʻaki ia, he ko e kavengá* ʻa e lea pē ʻa e tokotaha taki taha, pea kuo mou liliu ʻa e folofola ʻa e ʻOtua moʻuí, ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, ʻa hotau ʻOtuá.
37 “Ko e meʻa eni te ke leaʻaki ki he palōfitá, ‘Ko e hā ʻa e tali kuo fai mai ʻe Sihova kiate koé? Pea ko e hā kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihová? 38 Pea kapau te mou hanganaki pehē, “Ko e kavenga* ʻa Sihova!” Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihová: “Koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou pehē, ‘Ko e lea ko ení ko e kavenga* ʻa Sihova,’ hili ia ʻeku tala atu, ‘Kuo pau ke ʻoua naʻa mou pehē: “Ko e kavenga* ʻa Sihova!”’ 39 Vakai! Te u hiki kimoutolu ʻo tolongi mei hoku ʻaó, ʻa kimoutolu mo e kolo naʻá ku foaki kiate kimoutolu mo hoʻomou fanga kuí. 40 Pea te u ʻomi kiate kimoutolu ʻa e ongoʻi mā taʻengata mo e matahoa taʻengata, ʻa ia ʻe ʻikai ke toe ngalo.”’”+
