1 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono hongofulu ma taha taʻu, ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko mai kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
2 “Foha ʻoe tangata, koeʻuhi kuo lea pehē ʻe Taia ki Selūsalema, ‘Maʻitoʻa, kuo maumauʻi ia, ko e matanikolo naʻe kakaiʻia: kuo tafoki mai kiate au: te u maʻumeʻa au ʻi hono fakalala.’
3 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, ʻoku ou tuʻu kiate koe, ʻE Taia, pea te u pule ke ʻalu hake kiate koe ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, ʻo hangē ko e loloma hake ʻe he tahi ʻa hono peau.
4 Pea te nau maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻā ʻo Taia, pea holoki hifo hono ngaahi fale leʻo māʻolunga: Te u vaku foki hono efu meiate ia, pea te u ngaohi ia ke tatau mo e funga maka pē.
5 ʻE hoko ia ko e potu tautauʻanga kupenga ʻi he loto tahi: he ko au ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua, kuo lea ki ai: pea ʻe hoko ia ko e koloa vete ki he ngaahi puleʻanga.
6 Pea ʻe tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻa hono ngaahi ʻofefine ʻaia ʻe ʻi he ngoueʻanga: pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
7 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: “Vakai te u ʻomi ki Taia ʻa Nepukalesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ko e tuʻi ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi, mei he tokelau, ʻe haʻu mo e hoosi, pea mo e saliote, pea mo e kau heka hoosi, mo e ngaahi matatau, mo e kakai tokolahi.
8 Te ne tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻa ho ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoku ʻi he ngoueʻanga: pea te ne ngaohi kolo kiate koe, mo tanu puke kiate koe, pea hiki hake ʻae mahafutau kiate koe.
9 Pea te ne fokotuʻu ʻae nāunau ʻoe tau ki ho ngaahi ʻā, pea ʻe maumau ʻaki hono toki ʻa ho ngaahi fale leʻo māʻolunga.
10 Pea ʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki koe ʻae efu ko e meʻa ʻi he tokolahi ʻo ʻene fanga hoosi: ʻe ngalulu ho ngaahi ʻā ʻi he longoaʻa ʻae kau heka hoosi mo e vaʻe saliote, mo e ngaahi saliote, ʻoka hū ia ki ho ngaahi matapā ʻo hangē ko e ʻoho ʻae kakai ki ha kolo ʻoku kapasi.
11 ʻE malaki ʻaki ʻae vaʻe ʻo ʻene fanga hoosi ho hala kotoa pē: te ne tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻa hoʻo kakai, pea ʻe holoki hifo ki he kelekele ʻa hoʻo ngaahi kolo tau mālohi.
12 Pea te nau veteki ʻa hoʻo koloa, pea maʻu fakamālohi hoʻo ngaahi meʻa fakatau: pea te nau holoki ho ngaahi ʻā, mo maumauʻi ho ngaahi fale fakasanisani: pea te nau laku ki loto tahi hoʻo ngaahi maka mo hoʻo ʻakau, pea mo ho efu.
13 Pea te u ngaohi ke longo hifo ʻae leʻo ʻo hoʻo kau fasi hiva; pea ʻe ʻikai toe ongo mai ʻae tatangi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi haʻape.
14 Pea te u ngaohi koe ke tatau mo e funga maka: te ke hoko koe ko e potu tautauʻanga kupenga; ʻe ʻikai toe langa koe: he ko au ko Sihova, kuo u lea ki ai, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
15 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ki Taia; “ʻIkai ʻe tetetete ʻae ngaahi motu ʻi he longoaʻa ʻo hoʻo hinga, ʻoka pā hake ʻae tangi ʻanautolu kuo teʻia, ʻoka hoko ʻae tāmateʻi ʻi loto ʻiate koe?
16 ʻE ʻalu hifo ai ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe tahi, mei honau ngaahi nofoʻa fakatuʻi, pea tuku atu honau ngaahi kofu; te na kofuʻaki ʻae manavahē; te nau nofo hifo ki he kelekele, pea te nau tetetete maʻuaipē, pea nau ofo ʻaupito koeʻuhi ko koe.
17 Pea te nau fai ʻae tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko koe, ʻo pehē kiate koe, ʻOiauē ʻa ho maumauʻi, ʻa koe naʻe fakakakai ʻe he kau toutai, ʻa koe ko e kolo ongoongo, ʻaia naʻe mālohi ʻi tahi, ʻaia pea mo hono kakai, ʻa koe naʻa ke fakamanavahēʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
18 ʻE tetetete ʻae ngaahi motu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe holoki ai koe; ʻio, ʻe puputuʻu ʻae ngaahi motu ʻoe tahi ko e meʻa ʻi he hiki atu koe.”
19 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “ʻO kau ka ngaohi koe ko e kolo kuo lala, ʻo tatau mo e ngaahi kolo ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha kakai; ʻo kau ka ʻomi ʻae tahi kiate koe pea lōmaki ʻaki koe ʻae moana loloto.
20 ʻO kau ka fakahifo koe ki lalo fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo, pea mo e kakai naʻe ʻi muʻa ange, pea u tuku koe ki he potu māʻulalo ʻoe kelekele, ʻi he ngaahi potu siʻaki talu mei muʻa, ke fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ke kei kakai; pea te u fokotuʻu ʻae nāunau ʻi he fonua ʻae moʻui;
21 Te u ngaohi koe ko e meʻa fakaʻulia, pea te ke ʻikai ʻo taʻengata: neongo ha kumi kiate koe, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito toe ʻilo koe,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
