¶ 1 FAKAMANATU‘I akinautolu ke nau aganofo ki he gaahi tu‘i moe kau bule, ke nau talagofua ki he kau faka-māu, ke tali teu be ki he gaahi gaue lelei kotoabe;

2 Ke oua naa lauikovi ha toko taha, oua naa fakakikihi, kae agavaivai, o fakaha ae agamalu kotoabe ki he kakai kotoabe.

3 He ko kitautolu foki naa tau vale i mu‘a, o talagataa, mo kākāia, bea moua ki he gaahi holi kovi moe gaahi mea fakamalie kehekehe, o moui i he faji-tuu moe meheka, koe fehianekina moe fetaufehiaaki.

4 Kae hili hono fakaha mai ae agalelei moe aloofa ae Otua, ko ho tau Fakamoui, ki he tagata,

5 Nae ikai i he gaahi gaue oe maonioni naa tau fai, kae fakatatau mo ene ofa mataataatā be, kuo ne fakamoui akitautolu, i he fufulu oe fakatubu foou, moe fakafoou e he Laumalie Maonioni;

6 Aia naa ne liligi o lahi aubito kiate kitautolu ia Jisu Kalaisi, ko ho tau Fakamoui;

7 Koeuhi i he fakatonuhia akitautolu i he ene ofa, e gaohi ai akitautolu koe fānau hoko, o tāu moe amanaki lelei, ki he moui taegata.

8 Koe tala mooni eni, bea ko hoku loto ke ke fakababau mau ai be ae gaahi mea ni, koeuhi ko kinautolu kuo tui ki he Otua, ke nau loto tokaga ke fai ae gaahi gaue lelei. Oku lelei mo aoga ae gaahi mea ni ki he kakai.

9 Ka ke teke‘i ae gaahi fehui launoa, moe tala hohoko, moe fakakikihi, moe gaahi fekeikei i he fono; he oku tae-aoga ia mo vaiga.

10 Koe tagata fakatubu mavahevahe, hili a hono akonaki‘i o liuga taha mo liuga ua, tukuage ia;

11 I he ilo ko ia oku behe, kuo fakahe ia, bea oku fai agahala, bea kuo tu-kuaki‘i ia iate ia be.

12 O kau ka fekau atu a Atima kiate koe, be ko Tikiko, ke ke ahiahi ke ke fakatootoo ke ha‘u kiate au i Nikoboli: he kuo bau be hoku loto ke nofo ki ai i he faahita‘u momoko.

13 Ke ke tokoni lelei be kia Senasi koe akonaki i he fono, mo Abolosi, i ho na fonoga, ke oua te na majiva i ha mea.

14 Bea ke ilo ekinautolu oku o tau-tolu foki, ke fai ae gaahi gaue lelei, ke ma‘u ai aia oku aoga, koeuhi ke oua naa taefua ai akinautolu.

15 Ko kinautolu kotoabe oku iate au, oku nau ofa atu kiate koe. Ofa atu kiate kinautolu oku ofa kiate kitautolu i he tui. Ke iate kimoutolu kotoabe ae aloofa. Emeni.
