Selemaia 16:1-21
16 Naʻe toe hoko mai kiate au ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihová, ʻo pehē:
2 “Kuo pau ke ʻoua naʻá ke maʻu ha uaifi moʻou, pea kuo pau ke ʻoua naʻá ke maʻu ha ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he feituʻú ni.
3 He ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoku fanauʻi ʻi hení pea fekauʻaki mo ʻenau ngaahi faʻē ʻoku nau fanauʻi kinautolú pea fekauʻaki mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai ʻoku nau tupu mei ai ʻi he fonuá ni:
4 ‘Te nau mate ʻi ha ngaahi mahaki fakatupu mate,+ ka ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne tengihia kinautolu pe tanu kinautolu; te nau hoko ʻo hangē ko e kinohaʻa ʻi he funga kelekelé.+ Te nau ʻauha ʻi he heletā mo e honge,+ pea ko honau ngaahi ʻangaʻangá ʻe hoko ko e meʻakai ʻa e fanga manupuna ʻo e langí mo e fanga manu ʻo e māmaní.’
5 He ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihová,‘ʻOua naʻá ke hū ki ha fale ʻoku fai ai ha kātoanga kai ʻa e kau tengihiá,+Pea ʻoua naʻá ke ʻalu ke fai ha tengihia pe fai ha kaungāmamahi.’
‘He kuó u ʻave ʻa ʻeku melinó mei he kakaí ni,’ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová,‘Pea pehē foki ki heʻeku ʻofa mateakí mo e mēsí.+
6 ʻE mate fakatouʻosi ʻa e māʻolungá mo e māʻulaló ʻi he fonuá ni.
ʻE ʻikai ke tanu kinautolu,ʻE ʻikai ha taha te ne tengihia kinautolu,Pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne tafatafaʻi hono sinó pe tele hono ʻulú koeʻuhi ko kinautolu.*
7 Pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne tokonaki ha meʻakai ki he kau tengihiá,Ke fakafiemālieʻi kinautolu koeʻuhi ko ʻenau kau maté;Pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne ʻoange kiate kinautolu ʻa e ipu uaine ʻo e fakafiemāliéKe nau inu koeʻuhi ko e mole ʻa ʻenau tamaí pe faʻeé.
8 Pea ʻoua naʻá ke hū ki ha fale kātoanga kaiKe tangutu hifo ʻo kai mo inu mo kinautolu.’
9 “He ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, ʻa e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí, ‘ʻI heni ʻi he feituʻú ni, ʻi homou ngaahi ʻahó pea ʻi homou ʻaó tonu, te u fakangata ai ʻa e leʻo ʻo e fiefia mo e mavava, ʻa e leʻo ʻo e tangata malí mo e leʻo ʻo e taʻahine malí.’+
10 “ʻI he taimi te ke tala ai ki he kakaí ni ʻa e kotoa ʻo e ngaahi leá ni, te nau ʻeke atu kiate koe, ‘Ko e hā kuo folofolaʻaki ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e fuʻu faingataʻa kotoa ko ení kiate kimautolú? Ko e hā ʻa e fehālaaki pea ko e hā ʻa e angahala kuo mau fai kia Sihova ko homau ʻOtuá?’+
11 Kuo pau ke ke tali kiate kinautolu, ‘“Koeʻuhí naʻe liʻaki au ʻe hoʻomou fanga kuí,”+ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, “pea naʻe hokohoko atu ʻenau muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehé mo tauhi kinautolu pea punou kiate kinautolu.+ Ka naʻa nau liʻaki au, pea ko ʻeku laó naʻe ʻikai te nau tauhi.+
12 Pea kuo mou tōʻonga kovi ʻaupito ange ʻi hoʻomou fanga kuí,+ pea ʻoku muimui ʻa e tokotaha taki taha ʻo kimoutolu ki he anga-fefeka ʻo hono loto fulikivanú kae ʻikai ke talangofua kiate au.+
13 Ko ia te u kapusi kimoutolu mei he fonuá ni ki ha fonua ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ki ai pea pehē ki hoʻomou fanga kuí,+ pea te mou tauhi ai ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō,+ koeʻuhí heʻikai te u fakahā ha leleiʻia ʻiate kimoutolu.”’
14 “‘Ka neongo ia, ʻoku haʻu ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho,’ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, ‘ʻa ia heʻikai te nau toe pehē ai: “ʻOku ou fuakava ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua moʻuí, ʻa ia naʻá ne ʻomai ʻa e kakai ʻIsilelí mei he fonua ko ʻIsipité!”+
15 Ka te nau pehē: “ʻOku ou fuakava ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua moʻuí, ʻa ia naʻá ne ʻomai ʻa e kakai ʻIsilelí mei he fonua ʻo e tokelaú pea mei he ngaahi fonua kotoa naʻá ne fakamovete ai kinautolú!” Pea te u fakafoki kinautolu ki honau fonuá, ʻa ia naʻá ku foaki ki heʻenau fanga kuí.’+
16 ‘Ko eni ʻoku ou fekau ke ʻomai ha kau tangata toutai tokolahi,’ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová,‘Pea te nau toutaiʻi kinautolu.
ʻI he hili iá, te u fekau ke ʻomai ha kau tulimanu tokolahi,Pea te nau kumi kiate kinautolu ʻi he moʻunga kotoa pē mo e foʻi māʻolunga kotoa pēPea ʻi he ngaahi avaʻi maká.
17 He ko hoku matá ʻoku ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nau faí.*
ʻOku ʻikai te nau puli mei hoku ʻaó,Pea kuo ʻikai ke puli ʻenau faihalá mei hoku matá.
18 ʻUluakí, te u totongi kiate kinautolu ʻa honau moʻua kotoa ki heʻenau faihalá mo ʻenau angahalá,+He kuo nau ʻuliʻi hoku fonuá ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi ʻaitoli fakalielia ʻoku ʻikai moʻuiPea fakafonu hoku tofiʻá ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakalieliá.’”+
19 ʻE Sihova, ko hoku mālohingá mo hoku hūfangaʻangá,Ko e feituʻu ke u hola ki ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻo e faingataʻá,+Ko koe ʻe haʻu ki ai ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá mei he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo e māmaní,Pea te nau pehē: “Ko ʻemau fanga kuí naʻa nau tofiʻa ʻaki ʻa e koto loi,Mo e muna mo e ngaahi meʻa taʻeʻaonga.”+
20 ʻE lava ʻe ha tangata ʻo ngaohi ha ngaahi ʻotua maʻanaLolotonga ia ʻoku ʻikai moʻoni ko ha ngaahi ʻotua kinautolu?+
21 “Ko ia te u ʻai ke nau ʻilo,ʻI he taimi ko ení te u ʻai ke nau ʻilo hoku mafaí mo hoku mālohí,Pea kuo pau ke nau ʻilo ai ko hoku hingoá ko Sihova.”
