1 ʻOku ne fakahā totonu ʻae hāʻele mai ʻa Kalaisi ki he fakamaau, telia ʻae kau manuki ʻoku fakakikihi ai: 8 ʻOku ne valokiʻi ʻae kau lotu, ke nau fakatomala ke vave, he ʻoku kātaki fuoloa ʻae ʻOtua. 10 ʻOku ne fakahā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe fakaʻauha ʻo māmani: 11 ʻO enginaki ke nau māʻoniʻoni, he ʻoku nau ʻamanaki ki ai: 15 Pea ke nau ʻilo ko e kātaki ʻae ʻOtua ko e meʻa ke nau moʻui ai, ʻo hangē ko e tohi ʻa Paula ʻi heʻene ngaahi tohi.
1 ʻE Kāinga, ʻoku ou tohi eni ʻa hono ua ʻoe tohi ni kiate kimoutolu, ʻaia ʻoku ou fai ʻi ai ke langaki hake homou loto maʻa ki he fakamanatu:
2 Koeʻuhi ke mou manatu ki he ngaahi lea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻi muʻa ʻe he kau palōfita māʻoniʻoni, pea mo e fekau ʻamautolu ko e kau ʻaposetolo ʻoe ʻEiki mo e Fakamoʻui:
3 ʻO tomuʻa ʻilo eni, ʻe haʻu ʻae kau manuki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ki mui, ʻo ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻenau ngaahi holi kovi ʻanautolu,
4 ʻO nau pehē, “Kofaʻā koā ʻae talaʻofa ki heʻene haʻu? He kuo talu ʻae mohe ʻae ngaahi tamai, mo e pehē ai pe ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻo hangē pe ʻi hono ʻuluaki fakatupu.”
5 He ko honau loto ke nau vale ʻi he meʻa ni, ko e meʻa ʻi he folofola ʻae ʻOtua, naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻae ngaahi langi, pea tuʻu mei he vai pea ʻi he vai ʻa māmani:
6 ʻAia naʻe lōfia ai ʻae maama ko ia ʻaki ʻae vai, pea ʻauha ia:
7 Ka ko e ngaahi langi mo e fonua ʻoku tuʻu ni, kuo fokotuʻu ia ʻaki ʻa ʻene folofola pe ko ia, ʻo fakatolonga ki he afi ʻi he ʻaho fakamaau mo e fakaʻauha ʻoe kakai angahala.
8 Ka ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ke ʻoua te mou taʻeʻilo ki he meʻa ni ʻe taha, koeʻuhi ko e ʻaho ʻe taha ʻoku tatau ki he ʻEiki mo e taʻu ʻe afe, pea ko e taʻu ʻe afe ʻoku tatau mo e ʻaho pe taha.
9 ʻOku ʻikai fakatuotuai ʻe he ʻEiki ki heʻene talaʻofa, ʻo hangē ko e lau ʻae niʻihi ko e tuotuai; ka ʻoku kātaki fuoloa kiate kitautolu, ʻo ʻikai finangalo ke ʻauha ha tokotaha, ka koeʻuhi ke hoko ʻo fakatomala kotoa pē.
10 Ka ʻe hoko ʻae ʻaho ʻoe ʻEiki ʻo hangē ha kaihaʻa ʻi he pō; ʻaia ʻe mole ai ʻae ngaahi langi ʻi he longoaʻa lahi, pea ʻe vela ʻo ʻauha ʻae ngaahi tefitoʻi meʻa, pea ko e fonua foki mo e ngaahi ngāue ʻoku ʻi ai ʻe vela ʻo ʻosi ia.
11 Ko ia ʻi heʻene pau pe ke ʻauha ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē, ko e hā ʻae anga ʻoku taau mo kimoutolu ʻi he ʻulungāanga māʻoniʻoni mo e angafakaʻotua;
12 ʻO ʻamanaki mo holi atu ki he hoko mai ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻe vela ʻo ʻauha ai ʻae ngaahi langi, pea ʻe vai ʻi he vela lahi ʻae ngaahi tefitoʻi meʻa?
13 Ka ʻoku tau ʻamanaki ki he ngaahi langi foʻou mo e fonua foʻou, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ai ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene talaʻofa.
14 Ko ia, ʻe kāinga, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou ʻamanaki ki he ngaahi meʻa pehē, mou hangahanga fai pe koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe ia ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mou melino taʻehaʻila, mo taʻehalaia.
15 Pea lau ʻae kātaki fuoloa ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko e fakamoʻui; ʻo hangē ko e tohi kiate kimoutolu foki ʻe hotau kāinga ʻofeina ko Paula, ʻo fakatatau ki he poto kuo foaki kiate ia;
16 Pea ʻoku pehē foki ʻa ʻene lea ai ki he ngaahi meʻa ni ʻi heʻene tohi kotoa pē; ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae meʻa niʻihi ʻoku ʻilongataʻa, ʻaia ʻoku fai ʻe he kau taʻepoto mo lotolotoua ke fakaʻuhinga kehe, ʻo hangē foki ko e ngaahi tohi kehe, ka nau malaʻia ai.
17 Ko ia, ʻe kāinga, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou sinaki ʻilo, vakai telia naʻa takiekina foki ʻakimoutolu ʻe he hē ʻoe kakai fai kovi, pea mou hinga mei hoʻomou tuʻumaʻu ʻamoutolu.
18 Kae tupulekina ʻi he ʻofa, pea mo e ʻilo ki hotau ʻEiki mo e Fakamoʻui ko Sisu Kalaisi. Ke ʻiate ia ni ʻae ongoongolelei pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
