Malakia

3 ʼE ui e Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau: “Koʼeni ʼe au fekauʼi taku tagata ʼave logo, ʼe ina tofa* anai he ala maʼaku.+ Pea ʼe haʼu fakafokifa anai te ʼAliki moʼoni ʼae ʼe kotou kumi, ki tona fale lotu.+ Pea ʼe haʼu anai te tagata ʼave logo ʼo te fuakava, ia ia ʼae ʼe kotou fakatalitali fakafiafia ki ai. Koʼeni, ʼe haʼu moʼoni anai ia.

2 “Kae ko ai ʼae ka ina lavaʼi anai te ʼaho ʼae ka haʼu ai? Ko ai ʼae ka lava tuʼu anai moka ha? He ʼe hage anai ko te afi ʼae ʼe ina fakamaʼa te ukamea pea ʼe hage anai ko te sota+ ʼa te kau faifo. 3 ʼE heka anai ohage ko ia ʼae ʼe ina fakamaʼa te siliva,+ pea ʼe ina fakamaʼa anai te ʼu foha ʼo Levi. ʼEi, ʼe ina fakamaʼa anai ia natou ohage ko te aulo mo te siliva. Pea ʼe natou liliu moʼoni anai maʼa Sehova ko ni hahaʼi faitotonu ʼe natou momoli ʼanatou molaga. 4 Pea ʼe leleiʼia moʼoni anai e Sehova te molaga ʼa Suta mo Selusalemi, ohage ko te temi muʼa.”+

5 ʼE ui e Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau: “ ʼE au alu atu anai ʼo fakamauʼi ia koutou, pea mo fakahoko fakavilivili te fakatuʼā ki te kau faifakalauʼakau,+ mo te kau tono, mo natou ʼae ʼe natou fai ni fakapapau loi,+ mo natou ʼae ʼe natou kakaʼi te tagata gaue,+ mo te fafine vitua, mo te fanau hala mo tamai,+ pea mo natou ʼae ʼe mole natou fia tokoni ki* te matapule.+ Ko natou ʼaia neʼe mole natou manavasiʼi kia te au.”

6 “Ko au ia Sehova, ʼe mole au fetogi.+ Pea ko koutou ko te ʼu foha ʼo Sakopo, ʼe heʼeki kotou pupuli. 7 Neʼe kotou fakamamaʼo mai ʼaku lao pea neʼe mole kotou mulimuli ki ai, talu mai te temi ʼo ʼakotou kui.+ Kotou toe liliu mai kia te au, pea ʼe au toe liliu atu anai kia koutou,”+ ko te ui ʼaia ʼa Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau.

Kae ʼe kotou ui: “Kotea ʼae ʼe tonu ke matou fai ke matou toe liliu atu ai?”

8 “ ʼE kaihaʼa anai koa e he tagata te ʼAtua? Kae ʼe kotou kaihaʼa ia au.”

Pea ʼe kotou ui: “Neʼe matou kaihaʼa feafeaʼi ia koe?”

“ ʼI takotou mole foaki mai te vahe tahi ki te hogofulu pea mo ni molaga. 9 Malaʼia kia koutou,* he ʼe kotou kaihaʼa ia au, ʼei, ʼe kaihaʼa ia au e te puleʼaga katoa. 10 Kotou ʼaumai ki te fale tanakiʼaga meʼa te vahe tahi fuli ki te hogofulu,+ ke maʼu ai he meʼa kai ʼi toku fale.+ Pea fakalelei siʼokotou ʼu loto, kotou ʼahiʼahiʼi au ʼi te faʼahi ʼaia, ke kotou sisio pe ʼe mole au avahi atu anai te ʼu matapa ʼo te lagi+ pea mo huaʼi atu he tapuakina ke mole kotou toe masiva ʼi he meʼa,”+ ko te ui ʼaia ʼa Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau.

11 ʼE ui e Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau: “ ʼE au fakatonutonuʼi moʼoni anai ia ia ʼae ʼe ina kai* ʼakotou gaueʼaga, pea ʼe mole ina maumauʼi anai te ʼu fua ʼo tokotou fenua, pea ʼe fua anai ʼakotou gaueʼaga vite.”+

12 ʼE ui e Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau: “ ʼE tonu anai ke tala e te ʼu puleʼaga fuli ʼe kotou fiafia,+ he ʼe kotou liliu anai ko he fenua ʼe lelei.”

13 ʼE toe ui e Sehova: “ ʼE kotou fai ni palalau fefeka kia te au.”

Kae ʼe kotou ui: “Kotea ʼae ʼe matou lau kia koe?”+

14 “ ʼE kotou ui: ‘ ʼE mole he ʼuhiga ʼo te tauhi ki te ʼAtua.+ Kotea ʼae ʼe matou maʼu ʼi tamatou fakahoko ʼomatou maʼua kia Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau? ʼEi, kotea ʼae ʼe matou maʼu ʼi tamatou haʼele matamamahi ʼi ʼona muʼa? 15 ʼI te temi nei, ʼe matou ui ʼe fiafia ia natou ʼae ʼe fiameʼalahi. Pea ʼe maʼuli fimalie ia natou ʼae ʼe agakovi.+ ʼE natou agapauʼu ʼo ʼahiʼahiʼi te ʼAtua, kae ʼe mole hoko pe la he meʼa kia natou.’ ”

16 ʼI te temi ʼaia, neʼe faipalalau ia natou ʼae neʼe manavasiʼi kia Sehova, ʼo tahi palalau mo tona kaumeʼa. Pea neʼe tokaga ia Sehova ʼo fakalogo. Neʼe tohi ai he tohi fakamanatu ʼi ʼona muʼa+ maʼa natou ʼae ʼe manavasiʼi kia Sehova pea mo metitasio ki* tona huafa.+

17 ʼE ui e Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau: “ ʼE natou liliu anai ko taku hahaʼi+ ʼi te ʼaho ʼae ʼe au fakatupu anai ia natou ko he koloa makehe.*+ ʼE au manavaʼofa anai kia natou ohage ko te manavaʼofa ʼa he tagata ki tona foha ʼae ʼe tauhi ki ai.+ 18 Pea ʼe kotou toe sisio anai ki te kehekehe ʼo he tagata faitotonu mo he tagata agakovi,+ peʼe ko he tahi ʼe tauhi ki te ʼAtua mo he tahi ʼe mole tauhi ki ai.”
