4 Bea oku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu ko hoku kaiga, Oua te mou manavahe kiate kinautolu oku tamate‘i ae jino, bea hili ia oku ikai mo ha mea te nau faa fai.

5 Ka teu fakaha kiate kimoutolu aia te mou manavahe ki ai: manavahe kiate ia, aia, oka hili ene tamate‘i, oku ne faa fai ke li ki heli; io, oku ou behe kiate kimoutolu, manavahe kiate ia.

8 Oku ou tala foki kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ia te ne fakaha au i he ao oe kakai, e fakaha foki ia e he Foha oe tagata i he ao oe kau agelo ae Otua.

9 Ka ko ia oku ne jiaki au i he ao oe kakai, e jiaki ia i he ao oe kau agelo ae Otua.

10 Bea ko ia e lea kovi ki he Foha oe tagata, e fakamolemole ia kiate ia; ka ko ia oku ne lohiaki‘i ae Laumalie Maonioni, e ikai fakamolemolea ia.

11 Bea ka nau ka omi akimoutolu ki he gaahi fale lotu, moe kau fakamāu, moe kau bule, oua naa mou feiga be fefe be koeha te mou tali aki, be koia te mou fakaha:

15 Bea behe eia kiate kinautolu, Tokaga bea vakai, telia ae manumanu: he koe moui ae tagata oku ikai i hono lahi oe gaahi mea oku ne ma‘u.

16 Bea naa ne lea aki ae fakatātā kiate kinautolu, o behe, Nae fua o lahi aubito ae fonua oe tagata koloaia e toko taha:

18 Bea ne behe, Teu fai eni: teu vete hifo a hoku gaahi feleoko, o laga ke lalahi; bea teu fetuku ki ai a eku gaahi fua kotoabe mo eku koloa.

19 Bea teu behe ki hoku laumalie, Laumalie, kuo fokotuu maau ae gaahi mea lelei lahi ki he ta‘u lahi; ke ke fiemalie be, o kai, mo inu, mo fiefia.

20 Ka nae behe e he Otua kiate ia, Koe vale koe, e too iate koe i he bo ni a ho laumalie: bea  e hoko koe gaahi mea ahai aia kuo ke tokonaki?

21 Bea oku behe ia aia oku ne fokotuu koloa maana, ka oku ikai ma‘umea ki he Otua.

¶ 22 Bea behe eia ki he ene kau akoga, Koia oku ou behe ai kiate kimoutolu, Oua naa mou tokaga ki hoo mou moui, ki ha mea te mou kai; be ki he jino, be koeha te mou ai ki ai.

23 Oku lahi hake ae moui i he mea kai, moe jino i he kofu.

24 Tokaga ki he faga leveni, he oku ikai te nau tutui be tuuji; bea oku ikai ha nau fale koloa, be feleoko: ka oku fafaga e he Otua akinautolu; bea ikai oku mou lelei hake aubito i he faga manu?

25 Bea kohai ia iate kimoutolu i he ene tokaga e faa fakaloloa jii ki he ene moui?

26 Bea kabau oku ikai te mou mafai aia oku jii taha be, koeha oku mou tokaga ai ki he mea kehe?

27 Tokaga ki he tubu hake oe fiji‘i akau: oku ikai ke nau gaue, bea oku ikai ke filo; ka oku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, nae ikai tatau ae teuga o Solomone i hono nāunāu fulibe mo ha taha iate kinautolu ni.

28 Koia kabau e fakakofu behe e he Otua ae mohuku, aia oku i he goue he aho ni, kae li ki he gotoumu abogibogi; ikai e lahi hake kiate kimoutolu, akimoutolu oku jii hoo mou tui?

29 Bea oua naa mou kumi ki ha mea te mou kai, moe mea te mou inu, bea oua naa mou loto fakataetaetui.

30 He koe mea kotoabe eni oku kumi ki ai e he gaahi kakai o mamani: bea oku ilo e hoo mou Tamai oku mou majiva i he gaahi mea ni.

31 Kae kumi mua akimoutolu ki he buleaga oe Otua: bea e fakalahi aki kiate kimoutolu ae gaahi mea ni kotoabe.

¶ 32 Ae faga sibi jii, oua e manavahe: he koe finagalo lelei o hoo mou Tamai ke foaki ae buleaga kiate kimoutolu.

33 Fakatau atu aia oku mou ma‘u, bea faa foaki; tokonaki maa moutolu ae gaahi kato e ikai fakaaau ke motua, koe koloa i he lagi e ikai oji, bea e ikai ofi ki ai ha kaihaa, be fakabobo  ia e he ane.

34 He koe botu oku i ai hoo mou koloa, e i ai foki mo ho mou loto.

35 Tuku ke nonoo be ho mou nootaga vala, bea ulo  hoo mou gaahi māma.

36 Bea ke tatau akimoutolu moe kau tagata oku tatali ki he liliu mai a ho nau eiki mei he taane; koeuhi ka ha‘u ia o tukituki, ke nau too leva kiate ia.

37 Oku monuia ae kau tamaioeiki koia, oka ha‘u ae eiki bea ne ilo oku nau leo: koe mooni oku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, te ne nonoo ia, o bule ke nau nofo hifo ki he kai, bea ha‘u ia o tauhi akinautolu.

38 Bea kabau e ha‘u ia i hono ua oe leo, be ha‘u i hono tolu oe loe, bea ne ilo oku behe be, e monuia ae kau tamaioeiki koia.

39 Bea ilo eni, ka ne ilo e he eiki oe fale ae feituubo koia e ha‘u ai ae kaihaa,  behe, ne leo ia, ka e ikai tuku ke hae hono fale.

40 Koia mou teuteu be foki: he koe feituulaa oku ikai te mou amanaki ki ai, e ha‘u ai ae Foha oe tagata.

¶ 41 Bea toki behe e Bita kiate ia, Eiki, oku ke lea aki mai ae fakatātā ni kiate kimautolu, be ki  he kakai kotoabe?

42 Bea behe e he Eiki, He kohai ae tauhi agatonu mo boto, e fakanofo e he ene eiki ke bule ki hono kau nofoaga, ke atu ae tufakaga i hono feituu totonu?

43 E monuia ae tamaioeiki koia, oka ha‘u ene eiki o ne ilo oku fai behe be ia.

44 Ko eku tala mooni kiate kimoutolu, Te ne fakanofo ia ke bule ki he ene mea kotoabe.

45 Bea ka behe e he tamaioeiki koia i hono loto, Oku fakatuotuai e he eku eiki a ene ha‘u; bea haga ia o ta‘i ae kau tamaioeiki moe kau kaunaga, bea kai mo inu ke kona:

46 E ha‘u ae eiki oe tamaioeiki koia i ha aho e ikai amanaki ia ki ai, bea i ha feituulaa e ikai tokaga ai ia, o tuuji ia, bea tuutuuni ke ne inaji fakataha moe taetui.

47 Bea koe tamaioeiki koia nae ilo ae lotoo ene eiki, ka nae ikai ke teuteu, be fai o fakatatau mo hono loto, e ta‘i aki ia ae gaahi ta lahi.

48 Ka ko ia nae ikai iloa, bea fai eia ae gaahi mea oku gali moe tautea, e ta‘i aki ia ae gaahi ta jii. He ko ia ia kuo tuku ki ai ae mea lahi, e amanaki lahi iate ia; bea ko ia kuo tuku ki ai e he kakai ae mea lahi, e lahi ai e nau amanaki iate ia.

¶ 49 Kuou ha‘u ke tuku ae afi ki mamani; bea koeha hoku loto, o kabau kuo tutu ni ia?

50 Oku ai ae babitaiso keu babitaiso ai; bea oku ou feiga kae oua ke fai ia!

51 Oku mou mahalo kuou ha‘u ke tuku ae melino ki mamani? Oku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ikai; ka koe mava-hevahe:

52 Gata heni e feiteitani ae toko nima i he fale be taha, koe toko tolu ki he toko ua, moe toko ua ki he toko tolu.

53 E feiteitani ae tamai ki he foha, moe foha ki he tamai; koe fa‘e ki he taahine, moe taahine ki he fa‘e; koe fa‘e i he fono ki he ene taahine i he fono, moe taahine i he fono ki he ene fa‘e i he fono.

¶ 54 Bea naa ne behe foki ki he kakai, Oka mou ka mamata ki he alu hake ae ao mei he tokaga laa, oku mou behe leva, Oku ha‘u ae uha; bea oku behe.

55 Bea oka agi mai ae matagi mei he feituu toga, oku mou behe, E bubuha; bea oku behe.

56 Ae kau malualoi, oku mou ilo ae mata oe fonua bea moe lagi; ka koeha oku ikai te mou ilo ai ae kuoga ni?

57 Io, bea koeha oku ikai te mou ilo ekimoutolu aia oku totonu?

¶ 58 Oka ke ka alu mo ho fili ki he fakamāu, ke ke fai feiga i he hala, koeuhi ke ke hao meiate ia, telia naa ne ave koe ki he fakamāu, bea tukuage koe e he fakamāu ki he matābule bea e li koe e he matābule ki he fale fakabobula.

59 Oku ou tala kiate koe, E ikai te ke alu mei ai, kae oua ke ke atu ae totogi kotoabe.
