¶ 1 KOE tala mooni eni, Kabau oku holi e ha tagata ki he gaue oe faifekau, oku holi ia ki ha gaue lelei.

2 Koia oku totonu ke taehalaia ae faifekau, ke unoho moe fefine be taha ke faa tokaga, mo aga fakabotoboto, o aga matamata lelei, mo agaofa, o faa ako:

3 O ikai faa inu uaine, o ikai koe faa ta, be koe holi ki he koloa uli; kae faa kataki, bea e ikai te ne fakakikihi, be manumanu;

4 Koe toko taha oku bule lelei ki hono fale oona, i he aga fakamotua kotoabe kuo aganofo ene fānau kiate ia;

5 He kabau oku ikai ilo e ha tagata ke bule i hono fale oona, e fefe koa ene tauhi ae jiaji oe Otua?

6 Ikai koe taha toki liliu, telia naa vikiviki ia i he laukau, bea to ai ia ki he malaiaaga oe tevolo.

7 Bea oku totonu foki ke ogoogo lelei ia iate kinautolu oku ituaa; naa to ia ki he manuki moe hele ae tevolo.

12 Bea ke unoho taki toko taha ae kau akonaki moe fefine be taha, o bule‘i lelei e nau fānau mo ho nau fale o nautolu.

13 He ko kinautolu kuo fai o lelei ae gaue ae akonaki, te nau ma‘u kiate kinautolu ae hikiaga lelei, moe malohi lahi i he tui aia oku ia Kalaisi Jisu.

14 Koe gaahi mea ni oku ou tohi atu kiate koe, i he eku amanaki e vave eku alu atu kiate koe:
