¶ 1 BEA nae ai ha tagata i he kau Falesi, ko Nikotimasi hono higoa, koe eiki  ia i he kakai Jiu.

2 Bea nae ha‘u ia kia Jisu i he bouli, o ne behe, Labai, oku mau ilo koe akonaki koe kuo ha‘u mei he Otua: he oku ikai ha tagata oku faa fai ae gaahi mana ni oku ke fai, o kabau oku ikai iate ia ae Otua.

3 Bea lea a Jisu, o beheage kiate ia, Koe mooni, koe mooni, oku ou tala kiate koe, Kabau e ikai fanau‘i foou ha tagata, e ikai aubito mamata ia ki he buleaga oe Otua.

4 Bea behe e Nikotimasi kiate ia, E faa fanau‘i fefe‘i ae tagata oku motua? e toe faa hu ia ki he manāva o ene fa‘e, bea fanau‘i?

5 Bea behe e Jisu, Koe mooni, koe mooni, oku ou tala kiate koe, Kabau e ikai fanau‘i ae tagata i he vai bea moe Laumalie, e ikai aubito faa hu ia ki he buleaga oe Otua.

6 Ko ia kuo fanau‘i i he kakano, koe kakano ia; bea ko ia kuo fanau‘i i he Laumalie, koe laumalie ia.

7 Oua te ke ofo i he eku tala kiate koe, Oku totonu ke mou fanau‘i foou.

8 Oku maili ae matagi ko hono faiteliha be, bea oku ke fanogo ki hono mumuhu o ia, ka oku ikai te ke ilo be oku ha‘u meife, be alu kife ia: oku behe be aia kotoabe oku fanau‘i i he Laumalie.

9 Bea leaage a Nikotimasi, o ne behe kiate ia, Oku fefe nai ae gaahi mea ni?

10 Bea leaage a Jisu, o behe kiate ia, He koe akonaki koe i Isileli, bea oku ikai te ke iloa ae gaahi mea ni?

11 Koe mooni, koe mooni, oku ou tala kiate koe, Oku mau lea aki aia oku mau ilo, o fakababau aia kuo mau mamata; ka oku ikai te mou ma‘u e mau fakamooni.

12 Kabau oku ikai te mou tui i he eku tala kiate kimoutolu ae mea oe mamani, e fefe hoo mou tui, o kabau teu tala kiate kimoutolu ae mea oe lagi?

13 Bea oku heeki ai alu hake ha tagata ki he lagi, ka ko ia be nae alu hifo mei he lagi, ae Foha oe tagata aia oku i he lagi.

¶ 14 Bea hage nae hiki hake e Mosese ae gata i he toafa, e behe hono hiki ae Foha oe tagata ki oluga:

15 Koeuhi ko ia kotoabe oku tui kiate ia ke oua naa auha ia, kae ma‘u ae moui taegata.

¶ 16 He nae ofa behe ae Otua ki mamani, naa ne foaki hono Alo be taha nae fakatubu, koeuhi ko ia kotoabe e tui kiate ia ke oua naa auha, kae ma‘u ae moui taegata.

17 He nae ikai fekau e he Otua hono Alo ki mamani ke fakamalaia a mamani: ka koeuhi ke moui a mamani iate ia.

¶ 18 Ko ia oku tui kiate ia, oku ikai fakamalaia ia: ka ko ia oku ikai tui, oku fakamalaia ni ia, koeuhi oku ikai tui ia i he huafa oe Alo be taha nae tubu i he Otua.

19 Bea koe malaiaaga eni, koeuhi kuo ha‘u ae māma ki mamani, bea ofa lahi ae kakai ki he bouli i he māma, koeuhi oku kovi e nau gaahi gaue.

20 He ko ia fulibe oku fai kovi oku fehia ki he māma, bea oku ikai ha‘u ia ki he māma, telia naa fakaha ai ene gaahi gaue.

21 Ka ko ia oku fai ki he mooni, oku ha‘u ia ki he māma, koeuhi ke fakaha ai ene gaahi gaue, oku fai ia i he Otua.

¶ 22 Bea hili eni, nae ha‘u a Jisu mo ene kau akoga ki he fonua ko Jutea; bea nofo ai mo kinautolu, o fai babitaiso.

23 Bea nae fai babitaiso a Jone foki i Enoni o ofi ki Selemi, koeuhi nae i ai ae vai lahi: bea nae ha‘u ae kakai, o babitaiso.

24 He nae heeki ai ave a Jone ki he fale fakabobula.

¶ 25 Bea nae kikihi ae kau akoga a Jone moe kau Jiu ki he fakamaa.

26 Bea naa nau ha‘u kia Jone o nau pehe kiate ia, Labai, ko ia ia nae iate koe itua Joatane, aia naa ke fakamooni ki ai, vakai, oku fai babitaiso eia, bea oku aluage ae kakai kotoabe kiate ia.

27 Bea leaage a Jone, e behe, Oku ikai faa ma‘u e ha tagata ha mea, ka i hono foaki ia kiate ia mei he lagi.

28 Oku mou fakamooni kiate au naaku behe, Oku ikai koe Kalaisi au, ka kuo fekau au ke muomua iate ia.

29 Ko ia oku ne ma‘u ae taahine, koe tagata taane ia: ka koe kaiga oe tagata taane oku tuu o fanogo kiate ia, oku fiefia lahi ia koe mea i he le‘o oe tagata taane: koia ko eku fiefia ni kuo kakato.

30 E fakaaau ia ki mu‘a, ka teu fakaaau au ki mui.

31 Ko ia oku ha‘u mei oluga, oku maoluga taha be ia: ko ia oku mei he mamani, oku fakamama ia, bea oku lea ia ki he mamani: ko ia oku ha‘u mei he lagi, oku maoluga taha be ia.

32 Bea koe mea kuo ne mamata mo ogo‘i, koia oku ne fakamooni ki ai; ka oku ikai ma‘u e ha tagata ene fakamooni.

33 Ko ia kuo ne tui ki he ene fakamooni, kuo ne ai ki ai hono fakailoga oku mooni ae Otua.

34 He ko ia kuo fekau e he Otua, oku ne lea aki ae gaahi lea ae Otua: he oku ikai tuku fuofua e he Otua ae Laumalie  kiate ia.

35 Oku ofa ae Tamai ki he Alo, bea kuo ne tuku ae mea kotoabe ki hono nima.

36 Ko ia oku tui ki he Alo, oku ne ma‘u ae moui taegata: bea ko ia oku ikai tui ki he Alo, e ikai te ne mamata ki he moui; ka oku nofo be kiate ia ae houhau oe Otua.
