Tangata Malanga
7 ʻOku lelei ange ha hingoa lelei* ʻi ha lolo lelei,+ pea ʻoku lelei ange ʻa e ʻaho ʻo e maté ʻi he ʻaho ʻo e fanauʻí. 2 ʻOku lelei ange ke ʻalu ki he fale ʻo e tengihiá ʻi he ʻalu ki he fale ʻo e kātoangá,+ he ko e ikuʻanga ia ʻo e tangata kotoa pē, pea ʻoku totonu ke tokanga ki ai ʻa e tokotaha ʻoku moʻuí. 3 ʻOku lelei ange ʻa e mamahí ʻi he katá,+ he ko e mata mamahí ʻokú ne ʻai ʻa e lotó ke lelei ange.+ 4 Ko e loto ʻo e potó ʻoku ʻi he fale ʻo e tengihiá, ka ko e loto ʻo e valé ʻoku ʻi he fale ʻo e fiefiá.*+
5 ʻOku lelei ange ke fanongo ki he valoki ʻa ha tangata poto+ ʻi he fanongo ki he hiva ʻa e kau valé. 6 He ʻoku hangē ko e pākakihi ʻa e ulo ʻa e ʻakau talatalá ʻi he lalo kuló, ʻoku pehē ʻa e kata ʻa e valé;+ pea ko e muna mo eni foki. 7 Ka ko e ngaohikoviá ʻoku lava ke ne ʻai ʻa e tokotaha potó ke sesele, pea ko ha totongi fufū ʻokú ne kākaaʻi ʻa e lotó.+
8 ʻOku lelei ange ʻa e ikuʻanga ʻo ha meʻa ʻi hono kamataʻangá. ʻOku lelei ange ke kātaki ʻi hono maʻu ha laumālie hīkisia.+ 9 ʻOua ʻe vave* ki he ʻitá, he ko e ʻitá+ ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he fatafata ʻo e kau seselé.*+
10 ʻOua naʻá ke pehē, “Ko e hā naʻe lelei ange ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho ki muʻá ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ení?” he ʻoku ʻikai tupu mei he potó ʻa hoʻo ʻeke ʻa e meʻá ni.+
11 Ko e potó fakataha mo ha tofiʻá ko ha meʻa lelei ia pea ko ha meʻa ʻaonga ia ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau sio ki he maama ʻo e ʻahó.* 12 He ko e potó ko ha maluʻanga+ ʻo hangē pē ko e paʻangá ko ha maluʻanga,+ ka ko e ʻaonga eni ʻo e ʻiló: Ko e potó ʻokú ne fakahaofi ʻa e moʻui ʻa e tokotaha ʻokú ne maʻu iá.+
13 Fakakaukau ki he ngāue ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní, he ko hai ia ʻe lava ke ne fakahangatonu ʻa e meʻa kuó ne ngaohi ke pikó?+ 14 ʻI ha ʻaho lelei, tapua atu ʻa e lelei ko iá,+ ka ʻi he ʻaho ʻo e faingataʻá,* fakakaukau atu ko e ʻOtuá naʻá ne ngaohi ʻa e ʻaho ko eé pea pehē ki he ʻaho ko eé,+ ko ia ʻoku ʻikai lava ai ʻe he tangatá ʻo fakapapauʻi* ha meʻa pē ʻe hoko kiate kinautolu ʻi he kahaʻú.+
15 ʻI he lolotonga ʻa ʻeku moʻui muná+ kuó u sio ai ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē—mei he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻoku ʻauha neongo ʻene māʻoniʻoní+ ʻo aʻu ki he tokotaha fulikivanu ʻoku moʻui fuoloa neongo ʻa ʻene faikoví.+
16 ʻOua naʻá ke hoko ʻo fuʻu māʻoniʻoni fau,+ pe hoko ʻo fuʻu poto tōtuʻa.+ Ko e hā ʻokú ke ʻai ai koe ke ke ʻauhá?+ 17 ʻOua naʻa hulu fau hoʻo fulikivanú, pe valé.+ Ko e hā ke ke mate mutukia aí?+ 18 ʻOku lelei tahá ke puke ʻa e fakatokanga ʻe tahá pea ʻoua ʻe tuku ange ʻa e fakatokanga ʻe tahá;+ he ko e tokotaha ʻoku manavahē ki he ʻOtuá te ne tokanga ki ai fakatouʻosi.
19 ʻOku ʻai ʻe he potó ha tangata poto ke ne mālohi ange ʻi ha kau tangata mālohi ʻe toko hongofulu ʻi ha kolo.+ 20 He ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata māʻoniʻoni ʻi he māmaní ʻokú ne fai maʻu pē ʻa e meʻa ʻoku leleí pea ʻikai ʻaupito ke ne faiangahala.+
21 Pehē foki, ʻoua naʻá ke tokanga ki he lea kotoa pē ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he kakaí;+ telia naʻá ke fanongo ki hano leaʻaki ʻe hoʻo sevānití ha meʻa ʻoku kovi fekauʻaki mo koe; 22 he ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi lelei ʻi ho lotó kuo tuʻo lahi hoʻo leaʻaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku kovi fekauʻaki mo e niʻihi kehé.+
23 Ko e meʻá ni kotoa naʻá ku ʻahiʻahiʻi ia ʻaki ʻa e potó, pea naʻá ku pehē: “Te u hoko ʻo poto.” Ka naʻe mamaʻo ia meiate au. 24 ʻIlonga ha meʻa kuo hoko ʻoku ʻikai lava ke fai ha aʻu ki ai pea ʻoku loloto fau. Ko hai ʻe lava ke ne mahinoʻi ia?+ 25 Naʻá ku tataki ʻa hoku lotó ke u ʻiloʻi pea ke u fakatotoloʻi pea ke fekumi ki he potó mo e ʻuhinga ʻo e ngaahi meʻá, pea ke mahinoʻi ʻa e tuʻunga fulikivanu ʻo e valé mo e vale-ngangau ʻa e fakaseselé.+ 26 Pea naʻá ku ʻilo ai ʻa e meʻá ni: ʻOku kona ange ʻi he maté ʻa e fefine ʻa ia ʻokú ne hangē ha kupenga ʻa e tangata tulimanú, ʻa ia ko hono lotó ʻoku hangē ha ngaahi kupenga tohó, pea ko hono nimá ʻoku hangē ha ngaahi sēini ʻi he pilīsoné. Ko e tokotaha ʻokú ne fakahōifuaʻi ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní te ne hao meiate ia,+ ka ʻokú ne pō ʻe ia ʻa e tokotaha angahalá.+
27 “Vakai, ko e meʻa eni kuó u ʻiló,” ko e lea ia ʻa e tangata malangá.*+ “Naʻá ku fakatotoloʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa taki taha ke aʻu ai ki haʻaku fakamulituku, 28 ka ko e meʻa naʻá ku kumi hokohoko ki aí, kuo ʻikai te u maʻu. Naʻá ku maʻu ʻa e tangata* ʻe taha mei he toko taha afe, ka kuo ʻikai te u maʻu ha fefine ʻi honau lotolotongá. 29 Ko e meʻá ni pē taha kuó u ʻiló: Ko e ʻOtua moʻoní naʻá ne ngaohi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ke nau anga-tonu,+ ka kuo nau kumi ki ha ngaahi filioʻi lahi.”+
