¶ 1 KOENI, e kaiga, oku ou kole ai kiate kimoutolu, koe mea i he gaahi aloofa ogogofua ae Otua, ke mou atu ho mou jino koe feilaulau moui, mo maonioni, mo lelei ki he Otua, aia koe gaue oku tāu mo kimoutolu ke fai.

2 Bea oua naa fakatatau akimoutolu ki he mamani: ka ke matuaki liliu akimoutolu i he fakafoou o ho mou loto, koeuhi ke mou ilo bau ae finagalo koia oe Otua, a hono lelei, mo hono aoga, mo hono haohaoa.

3 He koe mea i he ofa kuo foaki kiate au, oku ou tala atu ai ki he tagata taki taha kotoabe oku iate kimoutolu, ke oua naa lelei lahi ene mahalo kiate ia i he mahalo oku totonu; ka ke mahalo fakabotoboto, o fakatatau ki hono lahi oe tui kuo vahe‘i e he Otua ki he tagata taki taha.

4 He oku hage oku i ho tau jino be taha ae gaahi kubu lahi, ka oku ikai fai ae gaue tatau be e he kubu kotoabe:

5 Oku behe foki akitautolu, koe toko lahi, ka koe jino be taha ia Kalaisi, bea oku tau feaogaaki fakataha ae kubu kotoabe.

6 Koia i he e tau ma‘u ae gaahi foaki oku fai kehekehe, o tāu moe ofa kuo foaki kiate kitautolu, kabau koe kikite,  tau fai ia o fakatatau mo hono lahi oe tui;

7 Be koe tauhi,  tau fai ae tauhi: be ko ia oku akonaki,  ke fai ene akonaki;

8 Be ko ia oku ekinaki,  ke ne ekinaki: ko ia oku foaki, ke  fai ia o agatotonu; ko ia oku bule,  ke faa fai  ia; ko ia oku fai ofa,  ke fai i he fiefie fai.

9 Ke taemalualoi ae ofa. Fehia ki he mea oku kovi; biki mau ki he mea oku lelei.

10 Ke mou feofaaki akimoutolu i he ofa fakakaiga; o mou felotoleleiaki i he fefakaabaabaaki kiate kimoutolu;

11 Oua naa fakabikobiko i he gaue: ka mou loto vela; o tauhi ki he Eiki;

12 O fiefia i he amanaki lelei; bea faa kataki i he mamahi; bea fai mau o fakakukafi i he lotu;

13 Tufaki ki he majiva oe kaiga maonioni; tuli ki he agaofa.

14 Tabuaki akinautolu oku fakataga akimoutolu: tabuaki‘i, bea oua naa kabea.

15 Fiefia mo kinautolu oku fiefia, bea tagi mo kinautolu oku tagi.

16 Ke felototahaaki akimoutolu. Oua naa tokaga ki he gaahi mea maoluga, kae tataki akimoutolu ki he gaahi mea māulalo. Bea oua naa mou fieboto iate kimoutolu.

17 Oua naa totogi ae kovi aki ae kovi ki ha taha. Fifili ki he gaahi mea oku lelei i he ao oe kakai kotoabe.

18 Bea kabau e faa lava‘i, mou moui melino be moe kakai kotoabe.

19 Ae kaiga ofeina, oua naa mou fai ae totogi koeuhi ko kimoutolu, ka mou fakaataatā ki he houhau: he kuo tohi, Oku aaku ae totogi; oku behe e he Eiki, teu totogi be eau.

20 Koia kabau oku fiekaia ho fili, fafaga ia; kabau oku fieinu, atu ha inu kiate ia: koeuhi i hoo fai behe, te ke fokotuu ae malala‘i afi ki hono ulu.

21 Oua naa ikuna koe e he kovi, kae ikuna ae kovi aki ae lelei.
