5 Ka ke alu ki te fale ʼo te ʼAtua moʼoni, tokaga kia koe.+ ʼE lelei age tau alu ki ai ʼo fakalogo+ ʼi tau alu ki ai ʼo momoli he sakilifisio ohage ko tona fai e te kau vale,+ he ʼe mole natou iloʼi ʼe kovi tanatou aga.

2 ʼAua naʼa ke foimo palalau, kae ke ke fakakaukau moka ʼe ke palalau ia muʼa ʼo te ʼAtua moʼoni,+ he ʼe nofo te ʼAtua moʼoni ʼi te lagi kae ʼe ke nofo koe ʼi te kele. Koia ʼe mole tonu ke lahi ʼau palalau.+ 3 Ka lahi fau te ʼu tuʼania ʼe tupu ai te moemisi,+ pea ka lahi fau te ʼu palalau ʼe tupu ai te faifatufatu ʼa te tagata vale.+ 4 Ka ke fai he fakapapau ki te ʼAtua, fakahoko fakavilivili,+ he ʼe mole ina leleiʼia te kau vale.+ ʼEi, fakahoko te fakapapau ʼae neʼe ke fai.+ 5 ʼE lelei age tau mole fai he fakapapau ʼi tau fai he fakapapau kae ʼe mole ke fakahoko.+ 6 ʼAua naʼa ke fakagafua ki tou gutu ke ke agahala ai,+ pea mo ui ia muʼa ʼo te ʼaselo* neʼe ke faihala.+ He koʼe ʼe ita anai te ʼAtua moʼoni ʼi ʼau palalau ʼo tupu ai tana maumauʼi te ʼu gaue ʼo ʼou nima?+ 7 Ka lahi te ʼu palalau ʼe iku ki ni aluʼaga ʼe vaʼiganoa, pea ʼe toe feia pe, ka lahi te ʼu tuʼania ʼe iku ki ni moemisi.+ Koia ke ke manavasiʼi ki te ʼAtua moʼoni.+

8 Kapau ʼe ke sio ʼe gaohi koviʼi te masiva ʼi tou potu fenua pea ʼe mole maʼuliʼi te faitotonu, ʼaua naʼa ke punamaʼuli.+ Koteʼuhi ʼe sioʼi te pule e he tahi ʼe maʼoluga age ia ia, pea ʼe nā toe fakalogo ki ʼihi ʼe maʼoluga age ia naua.

9 Pea tahi ʼae, ʼe vaevae te fua ʼo te kele ia natou fuli. Maʼiape la mo te hau ʼe kai ki te ʼu fua ʼo te gaueʼaga.+

10 Ko ia ʼae ʼe manako ki te siliva ʼe mole fiu ia ʼi te siliva, pea ko ia ʼae ʼe manako ki te ʼu koloa ʼe mole fiu ia ʼi te ʼu koloa.+ Maʼia mo te meʼa ʼaia ʼe vaʼiganoa.+

11 Ka tuputupu te ʼu meʼa ʼae ʼe lelei, ʼe tuputupu mo natou ʼae ʼe natou kai.+ Pea kotea te ʼu lelei ʼe maʼu e te pule ʼo te ʼu meʼa ʼaia? Ko tana haga pe ʼo sioʼi.+

12 ʼE moe lelei te tagata faifekau, pe ʼe kai veliveli peʼe kai lahi, kae ʼe mole mamoe te tagata koloaʼia ʼi te lahi ʼo ʼona koloa.

13 Neʼe au sio ki he aluʼaga fakaʼofaʼofa ʼi te kele: Neʼe tanaki e he tagata ni koloa ki tona malaʼia. 14 Neʼe puli te ʼu koloa ʼaia ʼuhi ko he fakatuʼutuʼu* neʼe to noa. Pea ʼi te ʼaho ʼae neʼe ina maʼu ai hona foha, neʼe mole kei ʼi ai hana meʼa.+

15 Ohage pe ko te haʼu telefua ʼa he tagata mai te fatu ʼo tana faʼe, ʼe toe alu telefua anai ohage pe ko tana haʼu.+ Pea ʼe mole feala ke ina ʼave he meʼa ʼi ʼana gaue kinakina fuli.+

16 ʼE toe fakaʼofaʼofa mo te aluʼaga ʼaeni: ʼE toe alu anai ohage pe ko tana haʼu. Pea kotea te ʼu lelei ʼe maʼu e ia ʼae ʼe gaue kinakina tuʼumaʼu ki te matagi?+ 17 Pea tahi ʼae, ʼi te ʼaho fuli ʼe kai ʼi te fakapoʼuli, ʼi te lahi ʼo tona lotomamahi, ʼi te mahaki pea mo te ita.+

18 Koʼeni te meʼa ʼae neʼe au tokagaʼi: ʼE lelei ki te tagata ke kai mo inu pea mo fakafiafia ʼi te ʼu gaue kinakina fuli+ ʼae ʼe ina fakahoko ʼi te kele, ʼi te ʼu kiʼi ʼaho ʼae neʼe foaki age e te ʼAtua moʼoni ke maʼuli ai, he ʼe ko tona fakapale ʼaia.+ 19 Pea ka foaki e te ʼAtua moʼoni ki he tagata ni koloa mo ni meʼa lelei+ ke ina fakaʼaogaʼi, ke toʼo e te tagata ʼaia tona fakapale pea mo fakafiafia ʼi ʼana gaue kinakina fuli. Ko he meʼa ʼofa ia mai te ʼAtua.+ 20 ʼE mole sio anai ia ki te fakalaka ʼo te ʼu ʼaho, koteʼuhi ʼe foaki age e te ʼAtua moʼoni ni gaue ke maʼumaʼua mo fiafia ai.+
