2 He kuo ke tuku kiate ia ʻae pule ki he kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke ne foaki ʻae moʻui taʻengata kiate kinautolu kotoa pē kuo ke foaki kiate ia. (aiōnios )
3 Pea ko eni ʻae moʻui taʻengata, ko ʻenau ʻilo koe ko e ʻOtua moʻoni pe taha, mo Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia naʻa ke fekau. (aiōnios )
4 Kuo u fakaongoongolelei koe ʻi māmani: kuo u fakaʻosi ʻae ngāue naʻa ke tuku mai ke u fai.
5 Pea ko eni, ʻe Tamai, ke ke fakaongoongolelei au ʻi ho ʻao, ʻaki ʻae nāunau naʻaku maʻu mo koe, ʻi he teʻeki ngaohi ʻa māmani.
6 “Kuo u fakaʻilo ho huafa ki he kau tangata naʻa ke foaki kiate au mei māmani: naʻe ʻaʻau ʻakinautolu, pea naʻa ke foaki ʻakinautolu kiate au; pea kuo nau maʻu hoʻo folofola.
7 Pea ʻoku nau ʻilo eni ko e meʻa kotoa pē kuo ke tuku kiate au, ʻoku meiate koe ia.
8 He kuo u tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi folofola naʻa ke tuku kiate au; pea kuo nau maʻu ia, pea kuo nau ʻilo pau naʻaku haʻu meiate koe, pea kuo nau tui naʻa ke fekauʻi au.
9 “ʻOku ou lotua ʻakinautolu: ʻoku ʻikai te u lotua ʻa māmani, ka ko kinautolu kuo ke foaki kiate au; he ʻoku ʻaʻau ʻakinautolu.
10 Pea ʻoku ʻaʻau ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻaku, pea ʻoku ʻaʻaku ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻaʻau; pea ʻoku ou ongoongolelei ʻiate kinautolu.
11 Pea ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai te u kei ʻi māmani, ka ʻoku ʻi māmani ʻakinautolu ni, pea ʻoku ou ʻalu atu kiate koe. ʻE Tamai Māʻoniʻoni, tauhi ʻi ho huafa ʻoʻou ʻakinautolu kuo ke foaki kiate au, koeʻuhi ke nau taha pe, ʻo hangē ko kitaua.
12 ʻI heʻeku ʻiate kinautolu ʻi māmani, ne u tauhi ʻakinautolu ʻi ho huafa: ko kinautolu naʻa ke foaki kiate au kuo u tauhi, pea ʻoku ʻikai mole hanau taha, ka ko e foha ʻoe malaʻia; ʻaia ʻoku fakamoʻoni ai ʻae tohi.
13 Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou ʻalu atu kiate koe; pea ʻoku ou lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻi māmani, koeʻuhi ke kakato ai ʻenau fiefia ʻiate au.
14 Kuo u tuku kiate kinautolu ʻa hoʻo folofola; pea kuo fehiʻa ʻa māmani kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻo māmani ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē foki ʻoku ʻikai ʻo māmani au.
15 ʻOku ʻikai te u lotu ke ke ʻave ʻakinautolu mei he māmani, ka koeʻuhi ke ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he kovi.
16 ʻOku ʻikai ʻo māmani ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻikai ʻo māmani au.
17 Fakatapui ʻakinautolu ʻi hoʻo moʻoni: ko hoʻo folofola ko e moʻoni ia.
18 Hangē ko hoʻo fekau au ki māmani, ʻoku pehē ʻeku fekau ʻakinautolu ki māmani.
19 Pea ʻoku ou fakatapui au koeʻuhi ko kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke fakatapui ʻakinautolu foki ʻi he moʻoni.
20 “Pea ʻoku ʻikai ko ʻeku lotua ʻakinautolu ni pē, ka ko kinautolu foki ʻe tui kiate au ʻi heʻenau lea;
21 Koeʻuhi ke taha pe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē; ʻo hangē ʻoku ke ʻiate au, ʻe Tamai, mo au ʻiate koe, koeʻuhi ke nau taha pe foki ʻiate kitaua: koeʻuhi ke tui ʻa māmani naʻa ke fekau au.
22 Pea ko e nāunau naʻa ke tuku kiate au, kuo u tuku kiate kinautolu; koeʻuhi ke taha pe ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē foki ʻoku ta taha pe:
23 Ko au ʻiate kinautolu, mo koe ʻiate au, koeʻuhi ke fakahaohaoa fakataha ʻakinautolu; pea ke ʻilo ʻe māmani kuo ke fekau au, pea ʻoku ke ʻofa kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻofa kiate au.
24 ʻE Tamai, ko hoku loto foki kiate kinautolu kuo ke foaki kiate au, ke nau ʻiate au ʻi he potu ʻoku ou ʻi ai: koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki hoku nāunau, ʻaia kuo ke foaki kiate au: he naʻa ke ʻofa kiate au ʻoku teʻeki ke fakatupu ʻa māmani.
25 ʻE Tamai Māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ʻikai ʻiloʻi koe ʻe māmani: ka kuo u ʻilo koe, pea kuo ʻilo ʻekinautolu ni naʻa ke fekau au.
26 Pea kuo u fakahā kiate kinautolu ho huafa, pea te u [toe ]fakahā [ia]: koeʻuhi ke ʻiate kinautolu ʻae ʻofa ko ia kuo ke ʻofa ʻaki kiate au, pea u nofoʻia ʻakinautolu ʻeau.”
