1 Koʼeni te logo ʼa te ʼAtua:

Koʼeni te folafola ʼae neʼe fakaha e Sehova ki Iselaele ʼaki ia Malakia:*

2 ʼE ui e Sehova: “Neʼe au ʼofa ia koutou.”+

Kae ʼe kotou ui mai koutou: “Neʼe ke fakaha feafeaʼi mai tou ʼofa?”

ʼE ui e Sehova: “Neʼe mole koa la tau tehina ia Esau mo Sakopo?+ Neʼe au ʼofa ia Sakopo, 3 kae neʼe au fehiʼa ia Esau,+ pea neʼe au maumauʼi ʼona moʼuga+ mo liʼaki tona tofiʼa ki te ʼu kuli vao ʼo te toafa.”+

4 “ ʼE ui e Etome: ‘Neʼe maumauʼi tomatou fenua, kae ʼe matou toe liliu mai anai ʼo laga te ʼu meʼa ʼae neʼe maumauʼi.’ Kae koʼeni te folafola ʼa Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau: ‘ ʼE natou toe laga anai te fenua, kae ʼe au toe maumauʼi anai. ʼE fakahigoaʼi anai ia natou ko “te fenua ʼo te agakovi” pea mo “te hahaʼi ʼae neʼe fakatuʼā e Sehova ʼo talu ai.”+ 5 ʼE kotou sisio mata anai ki ai, ʼo kotou ui: “Ke logologona te maʼoluga ʼo Sehova ʼi te fenua katoa ʼo Iselaele!” ’ ”

6 “ ‘ ʼE fakaʼapaʼapa he foha ki tana tamai,+ mo he kaugana ki tona pule. Koia kapau ko au ko he tamai,+ ʼe ʼifea te fakaʼapaʼapa ʼae ʼe tonu ke fai mai?+ Pea kapau ko au ko he pule, ʼe ʼifea te manavasiʼi* ʼae ʼe tuha mo au?’ ko te fehuʼi ʼaia ʼa Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau kia koutou, kau pelepitelo ʼae ʼe kotou meʼa noaʼi toku huafa!+

“ ‘Kae ʼe kotou ui: “Kotea ʼae neʼe matou meʼa noaʼi ai tou huafa?” ’

7 “ ‘ ʼI takotou momoli he meʼa kai heʼe maʼa ʼi toku ʼaletale.’

“ ‘Pea ʼe kotou ui: “Neʼe matou ʼulihi feafeaʼi ia koe?” ’

“ ‘ ʼI takotou ui ʼae: “ ʼE fakalialia te laupapa ʼo Sehova.”+ 8 Pea ka kotou momoli he sakilifisio ko he manu ʼe kivi, ʼe kotou ui koutou: “ ʼE mole ko he meʼa ia ʼe kovi.” Pea ka kotou momoli he manu ʼe ketu peʼe mahaki, ʼe kotou ui koutou: “ ʼE mole ko he meʼa ia ʼe kovi.” ’ ”+

ʼE ui e Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau: “Fakalelei siʼou loto, kae ʼahiʼahi momoli muʼa ki tou kovana. ʼE fiafia anai koa kia koe peʼe ke maʼu anai koa tona ʼofa?”

9 ʼE ui e Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau: “Fakalelei siʼokotou ʼu loto, ʼi te temi nei kotou kole ki te ʼAtua tona manavaʼofa. Ko ai ʼae ia koutou ʼe feala ke ina maʼu tona manavaʼofa ʼi te taʼi molaga ʼaia?”

10 ʼE ui e Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau: “Ko ai la ia koutou ʼe lotolelei ke ina pupunu te ʼu matapa?*+ He ʼe tatau pe la mo te tafu ʼo te afi ʼi toku ʼaletale, ʼe tonu ke totogi koutou.+ ʼE mole au fiafia kia koutou, pea ʼe mole au leleiʼia te ʼu molaga ʼae ʼe kotou momoli mai.”+

11 ʼE ui e Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau: “ ʼE iloa anai toku huafa ʼi te ʼu puleʼaga mai te hopoʼaga ʼo te laʼa ki tona toʼaga.*+ ʼE kohu anai te ʼu sakilifisio ʼi te ʼu potu fuli pe ʼe tutu ai, pea ʼe fai anai ni molaga moʼo fakaʼapaʼapa ki toku huafa, ʼei, he molaga ʼe lelei. ʼE fai anai te meʼa ʼaia, he ʼe iloa anai toku huafa ʼi te ʼu puleʼaga.”+

12 “Kae ʼe kotou ʼulihi toku huafa,*+ ʼi takotou ui ʼae: ‘ ʼE ʼuli te laupapa ʼo Sehova, pea ʼe fakalialia te meʼa kai ʼae ʼe maʼu ai.’+ 13 ʼE kotou toe ui foki: ‘ ʼI meʼa fakakinakina!’ Pea ʼe kotou manuki ki ai,” ko te ui ʼaia ʼa Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau. “ ʼE kotou ʼaumai ni manu neʼe kaihaʼa, peʼe ketu, peʼe mahahaki. Koʼena la te faʼahiga meʼa ʼae ʼe kotou momoli mai! ʼE feafeaʼi la haku lava tali ʼakotou molaga?”+ ko te ui ʼaia ʼa Sehova.

14 ʼE ui e Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau: “Malaʼia ki te tagata kaka ʼae ʼe ina maʼu ʼi tana faga manu he manu ʼe haohaoa, kae ʼe ina fai he fakapapau ʼo momoli kia Sehova he manu ʼe ʼi ai hona mele. Koteʼuhi ko au ko he Hau lahi,+ pea ʼe fakatupu manavasiʼi anai mo fakaʼapaʼapa toku huafa ʼi te ʼu puleʼaga.”+
