1 Oku fakaha e Jone ae ofa fakamanavahe ae Otua kiate kitautolu, i he ene fānau aki akitautolu: 3 koia oku totonu lahi ai e tau fai ki he ene gaahi fekau, 2 bea tau feofaaki kiate kitautolu.
¶ 1 VAKAI ki hono aga oe ofa kuo foaki mai e he Tamai kiate kitautolu, koeuhi i he ui akitautolu koe fānau ae Otua: koia oku ikai iloa ai akitautolu e mamani, koeuhi nae ikai ke ne ilo ia.
2 E kaiga ofeina, ko eni koe fānau ae Otua akitautolu, bea oku teeki ai ha mai be te tau hoko koeha: ka oku tau ilo, oka ha mai ia, te tau tatau be mo ia; he te tau mamata totonu kiate ia.
3 Bea ko ia kotoabe oku ne ma‘u ae amanaki lelei ni iate ia, oku ne fakamaa ia, o hage koe maa aana.
4 Ko ia kotoabe oku ne fai agahala, oku ne maumau‘i foki ae fono: he koe agahala, koe maumau oe fono.
5 Bea oku mou ilo, nae fakaha ia ke ne ave e tau gaahi agahala: bea oku ikai iate ia ha agahala.
6 Ko ia ia oku nofo mau kiate ia, oku ikai fai agahala ia: ko ia kotoabe oku fai agahala, oku ikai mamata ia kiate ia, be ilo‘i ia.
7 E fānau ofeina, ke oua naa kākā‘i akimoutolu e ha taha: ko ia oku ne fai maonioni, koe maonioni ia, o hage koe maonioni aana.
8 Ko ia oku ne fai agahala, oku oe tevolo ia; he nae agahala ae tevolo talu mei he kamataaga. Ka koe mea eni nae fakaha ai ae Alo oe Otua, koeuhi ke ne fakaauha ae gaahi gaue ae tevolo.
9 Ko ia kotoabe kuo fanau‘i mei he Otua, oku ikai fai agahala ia; he oku mau iate ia ene tega: bea oku ikai ke faa agahala, koeuhi kuo fanau‘i ia mei he Otua.
10 Koe mea ni oku ha ai ae fānau ae Otua, bea moe fānau ae tevolo: ko ia kotoabe oku ikai fai maonioni, bea mo ia oku ikai ofa ki hono tokoua, oku ikai oe Otua ia.
11 He ko eni ae fekau kuo mou fanogo ki ai talu mei he kamataaga, ke tau feofaaki kiate kitautolu.
12 Ikai ke hage ko Keini, nae oe toko taha kovi, bea naa ne tamate‘i hono tokoua. Bea koeha naa ne tamate‘i ai ia? Ka koeuhi nae kovi ene gaahi gaue aana, bea maonioni ae gaahi gaue a hono tokoua.
13 E hoku kaiga, oua e ofo, o kabau e fehia a mamani kiate kimoutolu.
14 Oku tau ilo kuo tau hao mei he mate ki he moui, koe mea i he e tau ofa ki he kaiga. Ko ia oku ikai ofa ki hono tokoua, oku nofo be ia i he mate.
15 Ko ia kotoabe oku fehia ki hono tokoua, koe fakabo ia: bea oku mou ilo oku ikai ha fakabo e iate ia ae moui taegata.
16 Koe mea ni oku tau ilo ai ae ofa, koeuhi kuo ne tuku hifo ene moui maa tautolu: bea totonu ai e tau tuku hifo e tau moui koeuhi koe kaiga.
17 Ka ko ia oku ne ma‘u ae lelei oe mamani, bea ne mamata ki he majiva a hono tokoua, kae tabuni eia a hono fatu meiate ia, oku nofo fefe ae ofa ae Otua iate ia?
18 A eku fānau ofeina, ke oua naa tau ofa i he lea, be i he elelo; ka i he gaue moe mooni.
19 Bea koeni oku tau ilo ai oku oe mooni akitautolu, bea e fakamooni a ho tau loto i hono ao.
20 He kabau oku talatalaaki akitautolu e ho tau loto, oku lahi ae Otua ki ho tau loto, o ne ilo‘i ae mea kotoabe.
21 E kaiga ofeina, kabau oku ikai talatalaaki akitautolu e ho tau loto, oku tau ma‘u ae malohi ki he Otua.
22 Bea koia kotoabe oku tau kolea, oku tau ma‘u meiate ia, koeuhi oku tau fai ene gaahi fekau, bea fai moe gaahi mea oku lelei i hono ao.
23 Bea ko ene fekau eni, Ke tui akitautolu ki he huafa o hono Alo ko Jisu Kalaisi, bea tau feofaaki, o tāu mo ene fekau kiate kitautolu.
24 Bea ko ia oku ne fai ene gaahi fekau, oku nofo ia kiate ia, bea mo ia iate ia. Bea koe mea eni oku tau ilo ai ene nofoia akitautolu, koe Laumalie, aia kuo ne foaki kiate kitautolu.
