¶ 1 BEA nae olo boto lahi hake ae gata i he manu kotoabe oe fonua, aia nae gaohi e Jihova koe Otua. Bea behe eia ki he fefine, Oku mooni koa kuo behe e he Otua, E ikai te mo kai i he akau kotoabe oe goue?

2 Bea nae behe e he fefine ki he gata, Oku gofua e ma kai i he fua oe gaahi akau oe goue:

3 Ka koe fua oe akau aia oku i he loto goue, kuo folofola mai e he Otua, E ikai te mo kai ai, bea e ikai te mo ala ki ai, telia naa mo mate.

4 Bea behe e he gata ki he fefine, Oku ikai mooni te mo mate.

5 He oku ilo e he Otua, i he aho te mo kai ai, e toki a ai ho mo mata, bea te mo hage koe otua, ke ilo ai ae lelei moe kovi.

6 Bea i he mamata e he fefine oku lelei ae akau ki he kai, mo matamatalelei ki he mata, bea koe akau ke velevele ki ai ke fakaboto‘i, naa ne too ai hono fua, o kai, bea naa ne age foki ki hono unoho, bea naa ne kai.

7 Bea nae a ai ae mata o kinaua oji be, bea na ilo kuo na telefua; bea naa na tui ae lou fiki, o na vala aki ia.

8 Bea naa na fanogo ki he le‘o o Jihova koe Otua, i he alu i he goue i he mokomoko oe aho: bea nae toitoi a Atama mo hono unoho, mei he ao o Jihova koe Otua, i he gaahi akau oe goue.

9 Bea nae ui e Jihova koe Otua kia Atama, o ne behe kiate ia, Oku ke ife?

10 Bea behe eia, Naaku fanogo ki ho le‘o i he goue, bea naaku manavahe, koeuhi kuou telefua; beau toitoi ai.

11 Bea behe eia, Kohai kuo fakaha kiate koe oku ke telefua? Kuo ke kai i he akau, aia naaku fekau kiate koe, ke oua naa ke kai ai?

12 Bea behe e he tagata, Koe fefine aia naa ke foaki ke ma nonofo, nae omi eia kiate au mei he akau, beau kai ai.

13 Bea nae folofola a Jihova koe Otua ki he fefine, Koeha eni kuo ke fai? Bea behe e he fefine, Nae kākā‘i au e he gata, beau kai.

14 Bea nae folofola a Jihova koe Otua ki he gata, Koeuhi kuo ke fai eni, kuo ke malaia lahi hake i he faga manu lalata kotoabe, moe manu kotoabe oe vao; te ke gaolo koe i ho kete, bea te ke kai ae efu i he gaahi aho kotoabe o hoo moui:

15 Bea teu tuku ae taufehia iate koe moe fefine, bea ki ho hako mo hono hako; e laiki eia ho ulu, bea te ke fakavolu ekoe a hono muiva‘e.

16 Bea nae behe eia ki he fefine, Teu fakalahi aubito a hoo mamahi i hoo fanafanau: te ke faele‘i ae fānau i he mamahi; bea e i ho unoho a hoo holi, bea te ne bule‘i koe.

17 Bea nae behe eia kia Atama, Koeuhi kuo ke tokaga ki he le‘o o ho unoho, bea kuo ke kai i he akau aia neu fekau kiate koe, Ke oua naa ke kai ai: kuo malaia ae kelekele koeuhi ko koe; te ke kai mei ai i he mamahi i he gaahi aho kotoabe o hoo moui;

18 E tubu mei ai kiate koe ae akau talatala moe talatalaamoa; bea te ke kai ae akau iki oe fonua;

19 Te ke kai ae meakai i he kakava o ho mata, kae oua ke ke foki ki he kelekele; he nae too koe mei ai: he koe efu koe, bea te ke toe foki ki he efu.

20 Bea nae ui e Atama ae higoa o hono unoho ko Ivi; koeuhi koe fa‘e ia oe kakai moui kotoabe.

21 Nae gaohi foki e Jihova koe Otua mei he kili‘i manu, ae gaahi kofu kia Atama mo hono unoho, bea naa ne fakakofu‘i akinaua.

¶ 22 Bea nae folofola a Jihova koe Otua, Vakai, kuo hoko ae tagata ke hage ko ha taha iate kitautolu, ke ne ilo ae lelei moe kovi: bea koeni, telia naa mafao atu eia hono nima, bea ne toli foki mei he akau oe moui, o kai, bea moui o taegata:

23 Koia nae fekau atu ia e Jihova koe Otua mei he goue o Iteni, ke ne gaue ki he kelekele aia nae too ia mei ai.

24 Bea naa ne kabuji ai ae tagata; bea ne tuku ki he  botu hahake oe goue o Iteni, ae jelubimi, moe heleta ulo, aia nae foli fakatakamilo, ke leohi ae hala oe akau oe moui.
