3 “Vakai! ʻOku ou fekauʻi atu ʻeku talafekaú, pea te ne fakaʻataʻatā* ha hala ʻi hoku ʻaó.+ Pea fakafokifā ko e ʻEiki moʻoní, ʻa ia ʻoku mou kumi ki aí, ʻe haʻu ki hono temipalé;+ pea ʻe haʻu mo e talafekau ʻo e fuakavá, ʻa ia ʻoku mou fiefia aí. Vakai! Ko e moʻoni te ne haʻu,” ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau.
2 “Ka ko hai te ne matuʻuaki ʻa e ʻaho ʻo ʻene haʻú, pea ko hai ʻe malava ke tuʻu ʻi heʻene hā maí? He te ne hangē ko e afi ʻa ha tokotaha sivi pea hangē ko e koa+ ʻa e kau tangata foó. 3 Pea te ne nofo hifo ko ha tokotaha sivi mo ha tokotaha fakamaʻa siliva+ pea te ne ʻai ke maʻa ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻo Līvaí; pea te ne fakamaʻa* kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e koulá mo e silivá, pea te nau hoko moʻoni ko ha kakai ʻoku nau ʻoatu ha feilaulau meʻaʻofa ʻi he māʻoniʻoni kia Sihova. 4 Pea ko e feilaulau meʻaʻofa ʻa Siuta mo Selusalemá ʻe fakahōifua* moʻoni ia kia Sihova, ʻo hangē pē ko ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo e kuohilí pea ʻi he ngaahi taʻu ʻo e kuonga muʻá.+
5 “Te u fakaofiofi atu kiate kimoutolu ke fai ʻa e fakamaau, pea te u fakahalaiaʻi ʻi he taimi pē ko iá ʻa e kau faifakalouʻakaú,+ mo e kau tonó, mo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau fai ʻa e fuakava loí,+ mo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau kākaaʻi ʻa e tokotaha ngāue totongí,+ ʻa e uitoú, mo e kiʻi tama tamai-maté,*+ pea mo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau fakafisi ke tokoni ki he* mulí.+ Ko e faʻahingá ni kuo ʻikai te nau manavahē kiate au,” ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau.
6 “He ko Sihova au; ʻoku ʻikai te u liliu.*+ Pea ko kimoutolú ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope; kuo teʻeki hoko mai ʻa e taimi ke mou ʻauha aí. 7 Mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻomou fanga kuí kuo mou afe mei heʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuní pea kuo ʻikai te mou tauhi ia.+ Mou foki mai kiate au, pea te u foki atu kiate kimoutolu,”+ ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau.
Ka ʻoku mou pehē: “Te mau foki fēfē atu?”
8 “ʻE kaihaʻa ha tangata mei he ʻOtuá? Ka ʻoku mou kaihaʻa meiate au.”
Pea ʻoku mou pehē: “Kuo anga-fēfē ʻemau kaihaʻa meiate koé?”
“ʻI he ngaahi vahe hongofulú pea ʻi he ngaahi meʻaʻofá. 9 ʻOku mou malaʻia moʻoni,* he ʻoku mou kaihaʻa meiate au—ʻio, ʻoku fai pehē ʻa e puleʻangá fakakātoa. 10 ʻOmi ʻa e vahe hongofulú kakato ki he fale tukuʻanga koloá,+ koeʻuhí ke ʻi ai ha meʻakai ʻi hoku falé;+ pea mou ʻahiʻahiʻi ange muʻa au ʻi he meʻá ni,” ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, “ke sio pe ʻe ʻikai te u fakaava atu kiate kimoutolu ʻa e ngaahi matapā ʻo e langí+ pea huhua atu* kiate kimoutolu ha tāpuaki kae ʻoua kuo ʻikai te mou masiva ʻi ha meʻa.”+
11 “Pea te u valokiʻi ʻa e tokotaha ʻokú ne fai ʻa e keiná* koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne maumauʻi ʻa e fua ʻo homou fonuá, pea ʻe ʻikai ke taʻefua+ ʻa e kālepi ʻi hoʻomou ngoué,” ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau.
12 “Ko e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa kuo pau ke nau talaki ʻa hoʻomou fiefiá,+ he te mou hoko ko ha fonua ʻo e fiefia,” ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau.
13 “Ko hoʻomou ngaahi lea ʻoku fai mai kiate aú ʻoku kovi ʻaupito,” ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihová.
Pea ʻoku mou pehē: “Kuo anga-fēfē ʻemau lea kovi kiate koe ʻi homau haʻohaʻongá?”+
14 “ʻOku mou pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻikai hano ʻaonga ʻa e tauhi ki he ʻOtuá.+ Ko e hā ha ʻaonga kuo mau maʻu ʻi heʻemau tauhi homau ngafa kiate iá pea ʻi heʻemau ʻaʻeva mo e mataʻi fakatomala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau? 15 Pea ʻoku mau vakai ki he kakai ʻafungí ʻoku nau fiefia. Pehē foki, ko e faʻahinga ʻoku nau fai ʻa e tōʻonga fulikivanú ʻoku nau lavameʻa.+ ʻOku nau fakatoʻotoʻa ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá pea ʻoku ʻikai hoko ha meʻa kiate kinautolu.’”
16 ʻI he taimi ko iá ko e faʻahinga ʻoku manavahē kia Sihová naʻa nau fetalanoaʻaki, ʻa e tokotaha taki taha mo hono kaungāmeʻa, pea naʻe hanganaki tokanga mo fanongo ki ai ʻa Sihova. Pea naʻe ʻi ai ha tohi ʻo e manatú naʻe hiki ʻi hono ʻaó+ maʻá e faʻahinga ʻoku manavahē kia Sihová pea mo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau fakalaulauloto ki* hono huafá.+
17 “Pea te nau hoko ko e meʻa ʻaʻaku,”+ ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, “ʻi he ʻaho te u ʻai ai kinautolu ko ʻeku koloa makehé.*+ Te u fakahāhā kiate kinautolu ʻa e manavaʻofa, hangē pē ko hono fakahāhā ʻe ha tangata ʻa e manavaʻofa ki hono foha ʻoku talangofua kiate iá.+ 18 Pea te mou toe sio ki he faikehekehe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e tokotaha ʻoku māʻoniʻoní mo e tokotaha ʻoku anga-fulikivanú,+ ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e tokotaha ʻoku tauhi ki he ʻOtuá mo e tokotaha ʻoku ʻikai tauhi kiate iá.”
