5 Ka ai hamou taha ʻoku masiva ʻi he poto, ke kole ʻe ia ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki lahi ki he kakai kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai valokiʻi; pea ʻe foaki ia kiate ia.

14 Pea ko eni ʻae mālohi ʻaia ʻoku tau maʻu kiate ia, koeʻuhi, katau ka kole ha meʻa ʻo fakatatau ki hono finangalo, ʻoku ne ongoʻi ʻakitautolu:

9 Kapau te tau vete ʻetau ngaahi angahala, ʻoku moʻoni mo angatonu ia ke fakamolemolea ʻetau ngaahi angahala, mo fakamaʻa ʻakitautolu mei he taʻemāʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.

5 Falala kia Sihova ʻaki ho loto kotoa;

pea ʻoua naʻa ke faʻaki ki ho poto ʻoʻou.

6 Ke ke fakaongoongo kiate ia ʻi ho hala kotoa pē,

pea ʻe fakatonutonu ʻe ia ho ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.

6 Ke ke fakaongoongo kiate ia ʻi ho hala kotoa pē,

pea ʻe fakatonutonu ʻe ia ho ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.

11 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku ʻiate au ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, kuo u tuʻutuʻuni kiate kimoutolu, ko e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ki he fiemālie, kae ʻikai ki he kovi, koeʻuhi ke foaki hoʻomou ʻamanaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ikuʻanga.

14 ‌ʻI he ʻikai ha faʻa fakakaukau ʻoku hinga ʻae kakai:

ka ʻoku ai ʻae maluʻi ʻi he fakakaukau ʻae toko lahi.

33 ‌ʻOku lī ki he loto kofu ʻae talotalo;

ka ʻoku ʻia Sihova, ʻa hono fakamaauʻi.

1 Ko e meʻa ʻi he holi ki ai ʻae tangata,

ʻoku ne vaheʻi ia ke ne kumi mo kau ʻi he poto kotoa pē.

2 ‌ʻOku ʻikai fiefia ʻae vale ʻi he ʻilo,

ka koeʻuhi ke fakahā ʻaki ia hono loto.

3 ‌ʻOka hoko mai ʻae angahala ʻoku haʻu mo ia ʻae manukia,

pea mo e ongoongo kovi mo e valokia.

4 ‌ʻOku hangē ko e ngaahi vai loloto ʻae ngaahi lea mei he ngutu ʻoe tangata,

pea ʻoku tatau ʻae matavai ʻoe poto mo e pā ʻae vaitafe.

5 ‌ʻOku ʻikai lelei ia ke fili ki he tangata ʻoku angahala,

kae fakahinga ai ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fakamaau.

6 ‌ʻOku kau ʻae loungutu ʻoe vale ʻi he kē,

pea ʻoku ui mai hono ngutu ke taaʻi ia.

7 Ko e ʻauhaʻanga ʻoe vale ʻa hono ngutu,

pea ko e tauhele ki hono laumālie ʻa hono loungutu.

8 Ko e ngaahi lea ʻae tangata faʻa fafana ʻoku hangē ia ko e ngaahi makafokafo,

pea ʻoku ʻasi mai ia ki he kakano ʻoe loto.

9 Ko ia ʻoku fakapikopiko ʻi heʻene ngāue,

ko e tokoua ia ʻoʻona ʻoku faʻa maumau meʻa.

10 Ko e fale māʻolunga mo mālohi ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova:

ʻoku hola ki ai ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻo ne moʻui ai.

11 Ko e kolo mālohi ʻae tangata koloaʻia ko ʻene koloa,

pea ʻoku tatau ia ʻi heʻene mahalo ʻaʻana mo e fuʻu ʻā māʻolunga.

12 ‌ʻOku muʻomuʻa ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻae fielahi ʻi he loto ʻae tangata,

pea ʻoku muʻomuʻa ʻae angavaivai ʻi he hakeakiʻi.

13 Ko ia ʻoku kau ke lea ʻi ha meʻa ʻi he teʻeki te ne fanongo ki ai,

ko e vale mo e fakamā ia kiate ia;

14 ‌ʻE faʻa kātakiʻi ʻe he laumālie ʻoe tangata haʻane vaivai;

ka ko hai ʻoku faʻa kātakiʻi ʻae laumālie kuo lavea?

16 ‌ʻOku foaki mai ʻae Tohitapu kotoa pē ʻi he fakamānava ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻaonga ia ki he akonaki, mo e valoki, mo e fakatonutonu, mo e fakapoto ki he māʻoniʻoni:

17 Koeʻuhi ke haohaoa ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, pea kakato hono teuteu ki he ngaahi ngaue lelei kotoa pē.

7 Hili ʻenau aʻu ki Misia, naʻa nau fai kenau ō ki Pitinia: ka naʻe taʻofi ʻakinautolu ʻe he Laumālie.

1 Pea naʻe ʻi he siasi ʻi ʻAniteoke ʻae niʻihi ko e kau palōfita mo e akonaki; ko Pānepasa, mo Simione ʻoku ui ko Nika, mo Lusio mei Sailine, mo Maneno, ʻaia naʻa na nonofo mo Helota ko e tuʻi, pea mo Saula. 2 Pea lolotonga ʻenau ngāue ki he ʻEiki, mo ʻaukai, naʻe pehē ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, "Vavahe mai maʻaku ʻa Pānepasa mo Saula ki he ngāue kuo u fili ʻakinaua ki ai." 3 Pea kuo nau ʻaukai mo lotu, pea nau hili honau nima kiate kinaua, ʻo tuku ke na ō.

31 Ko ia kapau ʻoku mou kai, pe inu, pe ko e hā ʻae meʻa ʻoku mou fai, fai kotoa pē ke fakaongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua.

1 Ko ia, ko e meʻa ʻi he kāpui ʻakitautolu ʻe he ʻao ʻoe kau fakamoʻoni tokolahi pehē, ke tau siʻaki foki ʻae meʻa mamafa kotoa pē, mo e angahala ʻoku tau moʻuangofua ki ai, pea tau feleleʻi ʻi he fakakukafi ʻae fakapuepue kuo tofi ʻi hotau ʻao.

5 Pea naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kia Solomone ʻi Kipione ʻi ha misi ʻi he pō: pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua, "Kole ha meʻa ke u foaki kiate koe." 6 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Solomone, "Kuo ke fakahā ki heʻeku tamai ko Tevita ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻaloʻofa lahi, ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻeveʻeva ʻi ho ʻao ʻi he moʻoni, mo e māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻi he angatonu ʻo hono loto kiate koe: pea kuo ke tuku ʻae ngāue ʻofa lahi ni maʻana, ʻi hoʻo tuku kiate ia ha foha ke ne nofo ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai he ʻaho ni. 7 Pea ko eni, ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, kuo ke fakanofo ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke tuʻi ko e fetongi ʻo Tevita ko ʻeku tamai: pea ko e tamasiʻi siʻi pe au ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ke fēfē ʻa ʻeku ʻalu atu mo ʻeku hū mai. 8 Pea ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻoku ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoʻo kakai ʻaia kuo ke fili, ko e kakai lahi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa lau hako pe ʻoku toko fiha, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau tokolahi ʻaupito. 9 Ko ia ke ke tuku ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ha loto poto ke fakamaauʻi ʻa hoʻo kakai, koeʻuhi ke u faʻa ʻilo totonu ʻae lelei mo e kovi; he ko hai ʻoku faʻa fai ke fakamaauʻi eni ʻa hoʻo kakai tokolahi ni?" 10 Pea naʻe lelei ʻae lea ni kia Sihova, ʻae kole ʻe Solomone ki he meʻa ni. 11 Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia, "Koeʻuhi kuo ke kole ki he meʻa ni, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke kole maʻau ʻae moʻui fuoloa; pe te ke kole maʻau ha koloa, pe te ke kole ʻae moʻui ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fili; ka kuo ke kole maʻau ʻae lotoloto poto, ke ʻiloʻi ai ʻae fakamaau totonu; 12 Vakai, kuo u fai ʻo tatau mo ia kuo ke lea ki ai: vakai, kuo u foaki kiate koe ʻae loto poto mo faʻa fakakaukau; ko ia kuo ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻe tatau mo koe talu mei muʻa, pea ʻe ʻikai tupu hake ha tokotaha ke tatau mo koe ki mui.

9 Pea pehē ai ʻe hono uaifi kiate ia, "ʻOku ke kei kuku hoʻo angatonu? Lea kovi ki he ʻOtua, ka ke mate." 10 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki ai, "Ko hoʻo lea ʻoku hangē ko e lea ʻa ha taha ʻi he kau fefine vale. ʻIo! he te tau maʻu koā ʻae lelei mei he nima ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻikai te tau maʻu mo e kovi?" ʻI he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai angahala ʻa Siope ʻi hono loungutu.
