Malakia
2 “Kau pelepitelo, ʼi te temi nei ʼe au foaki atu he fakatotonu!+ 2 Kapau ʼe mole kotou fia fakalogo mo lotolelei ʼo fakakololiaʼi toku huafa, ʼe au fakahoko anai he malaʼia kia koutou.+ ʼE au fakaliliu anai ʼokotou tapuakina ko ni malaʼia.+ ʼEi, neʼe au fakaliliu ʼokotou tapuakina ko ni malaʼia, koteʼuhi neʼe mole kotou tokagaʼi te faʼahi ʼaia,” ko te ui ʼaia ʼa Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau.
3 “Koʼeni, ʼe au maumauʼi anai te pulapula ʼae neʼe kotou nunusi ʼuhi pe ko koutou.+ Pea ʼe au laku atu anai ni faifekau ki ʼokotou fofoga, ko te ʼu faifekau ʼaia ʼo te ʼu manu ʼae neʼe kotou sakilifisioʼi ʼi ʼokotou ʼaho lalahi. Pea ʼe ʼave anai ia koutou ki te lakuʼaga ʼo te ʼu faifekau manu.* 4 Pea ʼe kotou iloʼi ai anai neʼe au foaki atu te fakatotonu ʼaia ke hoko atu te fuakava ʼae neʼe au fai mo Levi,”+ ko te ui ʼaia ʼa Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau.
5 “Ko te fuakava ʼae neʼe au fai mo ia neʼe ko te fuakava ki te maʼuli mo te tokalelei. Pea neʼe au foaki age te ʼu tapuakina ʼaia, ʼo tupu ai tana manavasiʼi.* ʼEi, neʼe manavasiʼi kia te au, mo fakaʼapaʼapa lahi ai ki toku huafa. 6 Neʼe maʼu te lao* ʼo te moʼoni ʼi tona gutu,+ pea neʼe mole ina fai he palalau ʼe kovi. Neʼe haʼele mo au ʼi te tokalelei mo te faitotonu.+ Neʼe ina fakatafoki mai te tokolahi mai te hala. 7 ʼE moʼoni, ʼe ko te pelepitelo ʼae ʼe tonu ke ina akoʼi te ʼatamai malama ki te hahaʼi. Ko ia ʼae ʼe tonu ke fakafehuʼi ke iloʼi ai te lao,*+ he ʼe ko te tagata ʼave logo ʼa Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau.”
8 ʼE ui e Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau: “Kae neʼe kotou fakamamaʼo koutou mai te ʼu faʼahi ʼaia. Neʼe kotou fakatupu tukia ki te tokolahi ʼo ʼuhiga mo te lao.*+ Neʼe kotou maumauʼi ai te fuakava mo Levi.+ 9 ʼE au fakaliliu anai ia koutou ko ni hahaʼi ʼe fehiʼaʼinaʼi mo fakalainoaʼi ia muʼa ʼo te hahaʼi, koteʼuhi neʼe mole kotou mulimuli ki ʼaku fakatotonu. Neʼe kotou fakapalatahi ʼi takotou fakahoko te lao.”+
10 “ ʼE mole tou tamai tahi fuli koa la?+ ʼE mole koa la ko he ʼAtua pe ʼe tahi ʼae neʼe ina fakatupu tatou? Kae he koʼe koa ʼe tou fekakaʼaki+ ʼo ʼulihi ai te fuakava ʼo ʼatatou kui? 11 Neʼe kaka ia Suta, pea neʼe fai he meʼa fakalialia ʼi Iselaele mo Selusalemi. Neʼe ʼulihi e Suta te maʼoniʼoni* ʼo Sehova,+ ʼei, te maʼoniʼoni* ʼae ʼe Ina leleiʼia, pea neʼe ina ʼohoanaʼi te ʼofafine ʼo he ʼatua matapule.+ 12 ʼE toʼo kehe* anai e Sehova mai te ʼu fale la ʼo Sakopo he tagata pe ʼe ina fai te meʼa ʼaia, tatau aipe pe ʼe ina momoli he molaga kia Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau.”+
13 “Pea ʼe ʼi ai te tahi meʼa ʼe kotou fai ʼe tupu ai te ʼaofi ʼo te ʼaletale ʼo Sehova e ni loʼimata, mo ni tagilaulau. Koia ʼae ʼe mole kei ina tokagaʼi ai ʼakotou molaga mo tali he meʼa pe ʼe kotou momoli age.+ 14 Pea ʼe kotou fehuʼi: ‘Kotea tona tupuʼaga?’ Neʼe tukugakoviʼi koe e Sehova, he neʼe ke kakaʼi te fafine ʼo tou temi tupulaga, kae neʼe ko tou kaumeʼa, pea neʼe ko te fafine ʼaia ʼae neʼe ke fai mo ia te fuakava.*+ 15 Kae neʼe ʼi ai te foʼi tokotahi neʼe mole ina fai te faʼahi ʼaia, he neʼe ina maʼu he koga ʼo te laumalie ʼo te ʼAtua. Kotea ʼae neʼe manatu ki ai? Neʼe manatu ia ki te hakoga ʼo te ʼAtua. Koia, kotou tokakaga ki takotou faʼahiga manatu, pea ʼaua naʼa kotou kakaʼi te fafine ʼo tokotou temi tupulaga. 16 Koteʼuhi ʼe au fehiʼa ki te mavete,”+ ko te ui ʼaia ʼa Sehova te ʼAtua ʼo Iselaele. “Pea ʼe au toe fehiʼa ki ʼae ʼe agamalohi,” ko te ui ʼaia ʼa Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau. “Kotou tokakaga ki takotou faʼahiga manatu pea ʼaua naʼa kotou agakaka.+
17 “Neʼe kotou fakakinakinaʼi ia Sehova ʼaki ʼakotou palalau.+ Kae ʼe kotou ui: ‘Neʼe feafeaʼi tamatou fakakinakinaʼi ia ia?’ ʼI takotou ui ʼae: ‘Ko he tahi pe ʼe ina fai te meʼa ʼae ʼe kovi ʼe ko he tahi ia ʼe lelei kia mata ʼo Sehova, pea ʼe ina leleiʼia te taʼi tagata ʼaia,’+ peʼe kotou toe ui: ‘Kofea te ʼAtua ʼo te faitotonu?’ ”
