Ki he Kau Hepelū 1:1-14
1 ʻI he kuonga muʻá naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ki heʻetau fanga kuí ʻo fakafou ʻi he kau palōfitá ʻi he ngaahi taimi lahi pea ʻi he ngaahi founga lahi.+
2 Pea ʻi he fakaʻosinga ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho ko ení kuó ne folofola kiate kitautolu fakafou ʻi ha ʻAlo,+ ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne fakanofo ko e ʻea ʻo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē,+ pea fakafou ʻiate ia naʻá ne ngaohi ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻi he māmaní mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻi he langí.*+
3 ʻOkú ne tapua haohaoa mai ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtuá+ pea mo hono ʻīmisí tonu,+ pea ʻokú ne tauhi maʻu ke kei tuʻu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻaki ʻene folofola mālohí. Pea ʻi he hili ʻene fakamaʻa ʻetau ngaahi angahalá,+ naʻá ne nofo hifo ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo ʻene ʻAfió ʻi hēvani.+
4 Ko ia kuó ne hoko ai ʻo lelei ange ʻi he kau ʻāngeló+ ʻi he tuʻunga kuó ne maʻu ha hingoa ʻoku lelei ʻaupito ange ia ʻi haʻanautolú.+
5 Ko e fakatātaá, ko hai ia ha taha ʻo e kau ʻāngeló ne faifai ange pea folofola ki ai ʻa e ʻOtuá: “Ko hoku ʻalo koe; ʻi he ʻahó ni, kuó u hoko ko hoʻo tamai”?+ Peá ne toe folofola: “Te u hoko ko ʻene tamai, pea te ne hoko ko hoku ʻalo”?+
6 Ka ʻi he taimi te ne toe ʻomai ai hono ʻUluaki Fohá+ ki he māmani kuo nofoʻí, ʻokú ne folofola: “Pea tuku ki he kotoa ʻo e kau ʻāngelo ʻa e ʻOtuá ke nau fakaʻapaʻapa* kiate ia.”
7 Pehē foki, ʻokú ne folofola fekauʻaki mo e kau ʻāngeló: “ʻOkú ne ʻai ʻene kau ʻāngeló ko e ngaahi laumālie, pea ʻai ʻene kau talafekaú*+ ko ha uloʻi afi.”+
8 Kae fekauʻaki mo e ʻAló, ʻokú ne folofola: “Ko e ʻOtuá ko ho taloni+ ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata, pea ko e sēpita ʻo ho Puleʻangá ko ha sēpita ʻo e faitotonu.*
9 Naʻá ke ʻofa ʻi he māʻoniʻoní, peá ke fehiʻa ʻi he maumau-laó. Ko e ʻuhinga ia ne hanga ai ʻe he ʻOtuá, ʻa ho ʻOtuá, ʻo pani koe+ ʻaki ʻa e lolo ʻo e fiefia ʻo lahi ange ia ʻi ho ngaahi takangá.”*+
10 Pea: “ʻI he kamataʻangá, ʻe ʻEiki, naʻá ke fakatoka ai ʻa e ngaahi makatuʻunga ʻo e māmaní, pea ko e ngaahi langí ko e ngaahi ngāue ia ʻa ho nimá.
11 Te nau ʻauha, ka ko koe te ke kei ʻi ai ai pē; pea ʻi he hangē tofu pē ko ha kofú, te nau hoko kotoa ʻo popo,
12 pea te ke takatakai kinautolu ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ha pulupulú, ʻo hangē ko ha kofú, pea ʻe fetongi kinautolu. Ka ko koé ʻokú ke tatau ai pē, pea ko ho ngaahi taʻú ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke ngata.”+
13 Ka ko hai ia ʻi he kau ʻāngeló kuo faifai ange peá ne folofola ki ai: “Nofo hifo ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻú kae ʻoua kuó u tuku ho ngaahi filí ke nau hoko ko ho tuʻunga-vaʻe”?+
14 ʻIkai ko e ngaahi laumālie kotoa kinautolu ki he ngāue toputapú,+ ʻo fekauʻi atu ke nau ngāue maʻá e faʻahinga ko ia te nau maʻu ʻa e fakamoʻuí?
