< 2 Kolinitō 4 >
1 Ko ia ʻi heʻetau maʻu ʻae ngāue ni, pea ʻi heʻetau maʻu ʻae ʻofa, ʻoku ʻikai ai temau vaivai;
2 Ka kuo mau liʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa fufū ʻoe fakamā, ʻo ʻikai ʻaʻeva ʻi he fiemuʻa, pe fai fakakākā ʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua; ka ʻi he fakahā atu ʻae moʻoni, ʻoku mau fakaongolelei atu ʻakimautolu ki he loto ʻoe tangata taki taha kotoa pē, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
3 Pea kapau kuo fakapulou ʻemau ongoongolelei, kuo fakapulou ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku malaʻia:
4 ʻAkinautolu kuo fakakui honau loto taʻetui ʻe he ʻotua ʻo māmani, telia naʻa ulo mai kiate kinautolu ʻae maama ʻoe ongoongolelei fakamonūʻia ʻo Kalaisi, ʻaia ko hono tatau ʻoe ʻOtua. (aiōn )
5 He ʻoku ʻikai te mau malangaʻaki ʻakimautolu, ka ko Kalaisi Sisu ko e ʻEiki; mo kimautolu ko hoʻomou kau tamaioʻeiki koeʻuhi ko Sisu.
6 He ko e ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe fekau “Ke ulo mai ʻae maama mei he poʻuli,” ko ia kuo ne fakaulo mai ki homau loto, ke fakamāmangia ʻakimautolu ʻi he ʻilo ʻoe nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻi he fofonga ʻo Sisu Kalaisi.
7 Ka ʻoku mau maʻu ʻae koloa ni ʻi he ngaahi ipu ʻumea, koeʻuhi ke ʻi he ʻOtua hono lelei ʻoe mālohi, kae ʻikai ʻiate kimautolu.
8 He kuo fakaʻapiʻapi ʻakimautolu mei he potu kotoa pē, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻefituʻu; moʻua pe, kae ʻikai taʻehatokoni;
9 ʻOku fakatangaʻi, ka ʻoku ʻikai liʻaki; kuo lī ki lalo, kae ʻikai tāmateʻi;
10 ʻO fafa fano maʻu aipē ʻi homau sino ʻae mate ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu, koeʻuhi ke fakahā ai foki ʻae moʻui ʻa Sisu ʻi homau sino.
11 He ko kimautolu ʻoku moʻui, ʻoku tukuange maʻuaipē ki he mate koeʻuhi ko Sisu, koeʻuhi ke fakahā ai foki ʻae moʻui ʻa Sisu ʻi homau kakano matengofua.
12 Ko ia ʻoku ngāue ʻae mate ʻiate kimautolu, ka ko e moʻui ʻiate kimoutolu.
13 ʻOku mau maʻu ʻae laumālie ko ia ʻoe tui, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Naʻaku tui, pea ko ia kuo u lea ai; ʻoku mau tui foki, pea ko ia ʻoku mau lea ai;”
14 ʻO ʻilo ko ia naʻa ne fokotuʻu hake ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu, te ne fokotuʻu hake ʻakimautolu foki ʻia Sisu, ʻo ʻatu ki hono ʻao fakataha mo kimoutolu.
15 He ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, pea ke ongoongolelei ʻae ʻOtua ʻi hono lahi ʻoe ʻaloʻofa, ko e meʻa ʻi he fakafetaʻi lahi ai ʻae tokolahi.
16 Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te mau vaivai: ka ʻi he fakaʻaʻau ʻo mole homau tangata ʻituʻa, ʻoku fakafoʻou ʻae loto ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
17 He ko homau mamahi maʻamaʻa ni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻosingofua, ʻoku fakatupu maʻamautolu ʻae lelei ʻoku lahi hake fakamanavahē ʻaupito ʻaupito pea mamafa mo taʻengata; (aiōnios )
18 Kae ʻikai ʻi he ʻemau siofia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hāmai, ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai hāmai: he ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hāmai, ʻoku ʻosingofua; ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai hāmai, ʻoku taʻengata ia. (aiōnios )
