¶ 1 BEA ke ilo ae mea ni foki, e hoko i he gaahi aho fakamui ae kuoga fakatuutamaki.

2 Koeuhi e ofa ae kau tagata kiate kinautolu be, o manumanu, mo bole-bole, mo laukau, mo lea kovi, mo tala-gataa ki he mātua, mo taefakafetai, mo taemaonioni,

3 O taema‘u ae ofa oku gali moe kaiga, o liaki ae lea fakababau, koe kau lohiaki, koe kau holi kovi, koe kau aga malohi, koe kau manuki kiate kinautolu oku lelei,

4 Koe kau lavaki, o aga ohonoa, mo loto fielahi, koe kau ofa lahi hake ki he gaahi malie fakamama i he e nau ofa ki he Otua;

5 Oku nau ma‘u hono geeji oe lotu, ka oku nau liaki a hono malohi: ke ke afe mei he kakai behe.

6 Bea oku mei he kakai behe akinautolu oku gaolo ki he gaahi fale, o taki bobula ae kau fefine fakavalevale oku efi i he hia, kuo takiekina e he gaahi holi kehekehe,

7 Oku nau ako mau ai be, ka oku ikai jii te nau lava‘i ae ilo oe mooni.

8 Kae hage koe tuu a Jani mo Ja-mebi kia Mosese, oku behe ae tuu foki akinautolu ni ki he mooni: koe kau tagata loto kovi, bea taemooni ki he tui.

9 Ka koeni, e ikai te nau fai mau ai be: koeuhi e ha atu e nau vale ki he kakai kotoabe, o hage foki koe  vale a naua.

10 Ka kuo ke ilo fakababau eku akonaki, moe aga o eku moui, mo hoku loto, moe tui, moe kataki fuoloa, moe ofa, moe faa ukuma,

11 Moe gaahi fakataga, moe mamahi, nae hoko kiate au i Aniteoke, mo Ikoniume, mo Lisita; ae gaahi fakataga naaku faa kataki‘i: ka nae fakamoui au mei ai kotoabe e he Eiki.

12 Io, bea ko kinautolu kotoabe oku loto ke moui aga faka-Otua kia Kalaisi Jisu, te nau ilo ae fakataga.

13 Ka koe kau tagata agakovi moe kau fakahala, te nau tubulaki i he kovi ki he kovi, o faa kākā‘i, bea e kākāia akinautolu.

14 Ka ke tuu mau be akoe i he gaahi mea aia kuo akonekina ai koe, bea kuo ke ilo bau ki ai, o ke ilo aia kuo ke ma‘u ia mei ai;

15 Koeuhi oku talu hoo kei jii, naa ke ilo ae gaahi tohi maonioni, aia oku faa fakaboto koe ki he fakamoui i he tui aia oku ia Kalaisi Jisu.

16 Oku foaki mai ae Tohitabu kotoabe i he fakamanava ae Otua, bea oku aoga ia ki he akonaki, moe valoki, moe fakatonutonu, moe fakaboto ki he maonioni:

17 Koeuhi ke haohaoa ae tagata oe Otua, bea kakato hono teuteu ki he gaahi gaue lelei kotoabe.
