¶ 1 KOIA, ko hoku foha, ke ke malohi koe i he ofa aia oku ia Kalaisi Jisu.

2 Bea koe gaahi mea koia kuo ke fanogo iate au i he ao oe kau fakamooni toko lahi, ke ke tuku ia ki he kau tagata agatonu, ke nau faa fai ke akonekina foki ae niihi.

3 Koia ke ke faa kataki ae gaue fai-gataa, o tāu moe tagata tau lelei a Jisu Kalaisi.

4 Oku ikai ha tagata oku ne fai ae tau bea ne fakaefihia ia i he gaahi mea oe moui ni; kae kehe ke fakafiemalie kiate ia kuo fili ia koe tagata tau.

5 Bea kabau oku feiga e ha toko taha ke ne ikuna, oku ikai fakabale ia, kae i he ene feiga totonu.

6 Bea oku tāu moe tagata tauhi goue ke tomua fai ae gaue i he ene kai hono fua.

7 Tokaga ki he eku lea; bea ofa ke tuku kiate koe e he Eiki ae ilo i he mea kotoabe.

8 Manatu kia Jisu Kalaisi koe hako o Tevita, nae fokotuu hake ia mei he mate, o fakatatau mo eku ogoogolelei:

9 Aia oku ou mamahi ai o hage ha fai kovi, bea kuo ha‘ijia au; ka oku ikai ha‘ijia ae folofola ae Otua.

10 Koia oku ou faa kataki ai ae mea kotoabe koeuhi ko kinautolu kuo fili, koeuhi ke nau ma‘u foki ae fakamoui aia oku ia Kalaisi Jisu moe hakeaki‘i taegata.

11 Koe tala mooni eni: He kabau kuo tau mate mo ia, te tau moui foki mo ia:

12 Kabau oku tau faa kataki, te tau bule foki mo ia: kabau te tau liaki ia, te ne liaki akitautolu foki:

13 Kabau oku tau taetui, ka oku mooni behe ai be ia: oku ikai te ne faa fakaikai‘i ia.

14 Fakamanatu ae gaahi mea ni, o fekau  kiate kinautolu i he ao oe Eiki, ke oua naa nau fakakikihi i he gaahi lea oku ikai hano aoga,  ka koe faka-he‘i oe kau fanogo ki ai.

15 Ke ke feiga ke fakaha koe oku ke lelei ki he Otua, koe tagata gaue oku ikai ke ma, kae vahevahe totonu atu ae folofola oe mooni.

16 Ka ke jiaki ae gaahi lea babunoa moe kovi: koeuhi e tubu bea ajili ai ae aga fakataelotu.

17 Bea e keina e nau lea o hage koe bobo: bea oku i ai a Aiminia mo Failito;

18 Akinaua kuo na he mei he mooni, o na behe kuo hiliage ae toetuu; bea kuo na fulihi ae tui ae niihi.

19 Ka oku tuu mau be ae tuuga oe Otua, oku i ai ae fakailoga ni, Oku ilo e he Eiki akinautolu oku aana; bea, Ke iloga ia oku ne hua aki ae huafa o Kalaisi, ke afe ia mei he agahia.

20 Ka i he fale lahi oku ikai ke gata i he gaahi ibu koula mo siliva be, ka oku i ai moe ibu akau moe umea; koe niihi ke aoga lahi, moeniihi ke aoga jii be.

21 Koia kabau e fakamaa ia e ha tagata mei he gaahi mea ni, e hoko ai ia koe ibu ke aoga lahi, kuo fakatabu‘i, bea tāu moe eiki ke gaue aki, kuo teuteu ki he gaue lelei kotoabe.

22 Ke ke buna foki mei he gaahi holi fakatalavou: ka ke tuli ki he maonioni, moe agatonu, moe ofa, moe melino, kiate kinautolu oku ui ki he Eiki i he loto maa.

23 Ka ke liaki ae gaahi fehui vale mo launoa, i hoo ilo oku tubu ai ae fakakikihi.

24 Bea oku ikai lelei ke fakakikihi ae tamaioeiki ae Eiki; ka ke agavaivai ia ki he kakai kotoabe, o faa ako, mo faa kataki,

25 O akonekina i he agamalu akinautolu oku agatuu; hei ilo e foaki ai e he Otua kiate kinautolu ae fakato-mala ke nau tui ki he mooni;

26 Bea nau fakahaofia akinautolu mei he tauhele ae tevolo, akinautolu kuo ne moua o fakabobula‘i ko ene faiteliha be.
