¶ 1 BEA nae feunu‘i atu ai kiate ia ae kau tanaki tukuhau moe kau agahala kotoabe, ke fanogo kiate ia.

2 Bea nae lāuga ae kau Falesi moe kau tagata tohi, o behe, Oku ma‘u e he tagata ni ae kau agahala, o kai mo kinautolu.

¶ 3 Bea ne lea aki ae fakatātā ni kiate kinautolu, o behe,

4 Kohai ha tagata iate kimoutolu oku teau ene sibi, bea ka mole ho nau taha, e ikai tuku ae hivagofulu ma hiva i he toafa, kae alu o kumi aia kuo mole, kae oua ke ne ilo ia?

5 Bea ka ilo‘i eia, oku ne hili ia ki hono uma, bea fiefia.

6 Bea ka ha‘u ia ki abi, oku ne ui ke fakataha ae kaiga moe kaugaabi, o ne behe kiate kinautolu, Tau fiefia mo au, he kuou ilo a eku sibi aia nae mole.

7 Oku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, E behe fiki ae fiefia i he lagi o lahi i he fakatomala ae agahala e toko taha, i he agatonu e toko hivagofulu ma toko hiva, oku ikai aoga ke nau fakatomala.

¶ 8 Bea kohai ha fefine oku hogofulu ene baaga siliva, bea ka mole ha baaga e taha, e ikai te ne tutu ae māma, mo tafi ae fale, o kumi lahi, kae oua ke ilo ia?

9 Bea ka ilo  ia, oku ne ui ke fakataha ae kaiga moe kaugaabi, o ne behe, Tau fiefia mo au, he kuou io ae baaga nae mole iate au.

10 Oku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Oku behe ae fiefia i he ao oe kau agelo ae Otua i he fakatomala ae agahala e toko taha.

¶ 11 Bea behe eia, Nae ai ae tagata nae toko ua hono foha.

12 Bea behe e he ki mui ki he ene tamai, Tamai, tuku mai haku tufakaga i he koloa oku aaku. Bea ne vaeua kiate kinaua a ene mea.

13 Bea hili ae gaahi aho jii, nae tanaki e he foha ki mui a ene mea kotoabe, o fonoga ki he fonua mamao, o maumau‘i ai ene koloa i he ene moui agakovi.

14 Bea kuo fakaoji eia kotoabe, nae to ae hoge lahi ki he fonua koia; bea hoko ia o fiekaia.

15 Bea alu ia o nofo ki he tagata e toko taha oe fonua koia; bea ne fekau ia ki hono botu fonua ke tauhi ae faga buaka.

16 Bea nae feiga ia ke fakamakona aki ia ae geeji nae kai e he faga buaka: he nae ikai ha taha e foaki kiate ia.

17 Bea kuo boto ia, bea ne behe, Oku toko fiha ae kau tamaioeiki totogi a eku tamai kuo lahi mo toe e nau ma, ka oku ou mate i he fiekaia!

18 Teu tuu hake o alu ki he eku tamai, bea teu behe kiate ia, Tamai, kuou fai agahala ki he lagi, bea i ho ao;

19 Bea oku ikai teu kei aoga ke ui ko ho foha; ka ke tuku au keu tatau mo ha taha i hoo kau tamaioeoiki totogi.

20 Bea nae tuu hake ia, o alu ki he ene tamai. Ka i he ene kei mamao aubito, nae mamata a ene tamai kiate ia, bea manavaofa, mo lele, bea faufua ia, o uma kiate ia.

21 Bea behe e he foha kiate ia, Tamai, kuou agahala ki he lagi, bea i ho ao, bea oku ikai teu kei aoga ke ui ko ho foha.

22 Ka nae behe e he tamai ki he ene kau tamaioeiki, Omi ae bulubulu fugani lelei, o ai kiate ia; bea ai moe mama ki hono nima, moe tobuva‘e ki hono va‘e:

23 Bea omi ki heni ae uhiki bulu jino, o tamate‘i  ia; bea ke tau kai, mo fiefia:

24 He ko hoku foha eni nae mate, bea kuo toe moui; nae mole ia, bea kuo ilo‘i. Bea naa nau kamata fiefia.

25 Bea nae i he goue a hono uluaki foha; bea i he ene ha‘u o ofi ki he fale, nae fanogo ia ki he mea faiva moe mee.

26 Bea naa ne ui ki ha taha oe kau tamaioeiki, o ne fehui ki hono uhiga oe gaahi mea ni.

27 Bea ne tala kiate ia, Kuo ha‘u ho tehina; bea kuo tamate‘i e hoo tamai ae uhiki bulu jino, koeuhi kuo ne ma‘u ia oku moui lelei be.

28 Ka nae ita ia, bea ikai alu ki ai: koia nae ha‘u ai kitua a ene tamai, o fakakolekole kiate ia.

29 Bea lea ia, o beheage ki he ene tamai, Vakai, koe gaahi ta‘u lahi ni mo eku tauhi‘i koe, bea nae ikai teu talagataa ki hoo fekau i ha mea e taha: ka nae ikai jii te ke foaki kiate au ha uhikii koji, koeuhi keu fakafiefia ai mo hoku kaiga.

30 Ka kuo ha‘u leva ho foha ko eni, aia nae maumau‘i hoo koloa moe kau faa feauaki, bea ke tamate‘i maana ae uhiki bulu jino.

31 Bea ne behe kiate ia, Foha, oku ta nofo ma‘u mo au, bea koia kotoabe oku aaku oku aau ia.

32 Nae tāu e mau fakafiefia mo nekeneka: he ko ho tehina eni nae mate, ka kuo toe moui ia; bea nae mole, ka kuo ilo ia.
