4 Ko ʻeni te mou mamata ʻi Pāpilone ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻo e silivá, mo e koulá, mo e ʻakaú, ʻoku ʻi honau umá, ʻa ia ʻoku fakatupu ai ʻa e manavahē ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá.

9 Pea ʻi heʻenau toʻo ʻa e koula, ʻo hange ko ha taupoʻou ʻoku ʻofa ke ʻalu, ʻoku nau ngaohi ʻa e ngaahi kalauni ki he ʻulu ʻo honau ngaahi ʻOtua.
10 ʻOku faʻa fakahaaʻi foki ʻe he kau taulaʻeikí mei honau ngaahi ʻotuá ʻa e koula mo e siliva, pea nau foaki ia kiate kinautolu.
11 ʻIo, te nau foaki ia ki he kau feʻauaki angamahení, pea fakaʻauha ʻa kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e kau tangata ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi kofu, ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻo e siliva, mo e ngaahi ʻotua ʻo e koula, mo e ʻakau.
12 Ka ʻoku ʻikai lava ʻe he ngaahi ʻotua ko ʻení ʻo fakahaofi ʻa kinautolu mei he ʻumeʻumea mo e Ane, neongo ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻa e kofu lanu vāleti.
13 ʻOku nau holoholoʻi honau matá koeʻuhí ko e efu ʻo e temipalé, ʻi he taimi ʻoku lahi ai e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hoko kiate kinautolú.
14 Pea ko ia ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne lava ʻo tāmateʻi ha taha ʻokú ne fakatupu houhau kiate iá ,ʻokú ne maʻu ha tokotoko fakatuʻi, ʻo hangē ko ha fakamaau ia ʻo e fonuá.

19 ʻOku nau tutu kinautolu ke nau teʻelango, ʻio, ʻo lahi ange ia ʻiate kinautolu pē, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai ke nau lava ai ʻo sio ki ha taha.

21 ʻOku ʻuliʻuli honau fofongá ʻi he ʻohu afi ʻoku haʻu mei he temipalé.
22 ʻOku nofo ʻi honau sinó mo e ʻulú ʻa e fanga Peka, fakamaamaʻi, mo e fanga manupuná, pea mo e fanga pusí foki.
23 Te mou lava ʻo ʻilo ʻi he meʻá ni ʻoku ʻikai ko ha ngaahi ʻotua ʻa kinautolu: ko ia ʻoua ʻe manavahē kiate kinautolu.
24 Neongo ʻa e koula ʻoku fekauʻaki mo kinautolú ke nau fakaʻofoʻofa, ka ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau holoholoʻi ʻa e ʻumeʻumeá, ʻe ʻikai te nau ulo: he naʻe ʻikai ke nau ongoʻi ia ʻi he taimi naʻe haka aí.
25 ʻOku fakatau ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha manava ki ha totongi maʻolunga taha.
26 ʻOku hilifaki ia ki honau umá, ʻo ʻikai hanau vaʻe ʻa ia ʻoku nau fakahā ai ki he tangatá ʻoku ʻikai hanau mahuʻinga.
27 Ko kinautolu foki ʻoku tauhi kiate kinautolú ʻoku nau mā: he kapau te nau tō ki he kelekelé ʻi ha taimi, ʻe ʻikai te nau lava ʻo toe tuʻu hake ʻiate kinautolu pē: pea kapau ʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ha taha ʻa kinautolu ke angatonu, te nau lava ʻo hiki ʻiate kinautolu pē: pea kapau te nau punou hifo, te nau lava ʻo fakatonutonu ia: ka ʻoku nau fokotuʻu ʻa e ngaahi meʻaʻofá ʻi honau ʻaó ʻo hangē ko e kakai kuo pekiá.
28 Ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kuo feilaulau ʻaki kiate kinautolú, ʻoku fakatau atu mo ngaohikovia ai ʻe heʻenau kau taulaʻeikí; pea ʻoku pehē hono tokonaki ʻe honau ngaahi uaifí hano konga ʻi he māsimá; ka ki he masivá mo e taʻe-faʻa-ngaué ʻoku ʻikai te nau foaki ha meʻa ki ai. 29 ʻOku kai ʻe he kakai fefine mo e kau fefine ʻi he fanau ʻa ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau: te mou ʻilo ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni ʻoku ʻikai ko ha ngaahi ʻotua ʻa kinautolu: ʻoua ʻe manavahe kiate kinautolu.
30 He ʻe lava fēfē ke ui ʻa kinautolu ko e ngaahi ʻotua? koeʻuhí he naʻe tuku ʻe he kakai fefiné ʻa e kakanoʻi manu ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ngaahi ʻotua ʻo e silivá, koulá, mo e ʻakaú
31 Pea ʻoku nofo ʻa e kau taulaʻeikí ʻi honau ngaahi temipalé, kuo totongi honau kofú, pea tele honau ʻulú mo e kavá, pea ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi honau ʻulú.
32 ʻOku nau ngungulu mo tangi ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi ʻotuá, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻe he tangatá ʻi he kātoanga ʻi he taimi ʻoku mate ai ha tahá.
33 ʻOku toʻo foki ʻe he kau taulaʻeikí ʻa honau ngaahi kofú, ʻo fakakofuʻi honau ngaahi uaifí mo e fānaú.
34 ʻE tatau ai pē pe ʻoku kovi ʻa e fai ʻe ha taha kiate kinautolu, pe ko e leleí, ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa totongi ia: ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa fokotuʻu ha tuʻi, pe fakahifo ia.
35 ʻI he founga tatau pē, ʻoku ʻikai te nau lava ʻo foaki ha koloa pe ha paʻanga: neongo ʻoku fai ʻe ha tangata ha fuakava kiate kinautolu, pea ʻikai tauhi ia, ʻe ʻikai te nau fie maʻu ia.
36 ʻOku ʻikai te nau lava ʻo fakamoʻui ha tangata mei he maté, pe fakahaofi ʻa e vaivaí mei he māfimafí.
37 He ʻikai ke nau lava ʻo fakafoki ha tangata kui ki hono ʻao, pe tokoniʻi ha tangata ʻoku faingataʻaʻia.
38 ʻOku ʻikai te nau lava ʻo fakahā ha ʻaloʻofa ki he uitoú, pe fai lelei ki he tamai maté.
39 Ko honau ngaahi ʻotua ʻo e ʻakaú, pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e koulá mo e silivá, ʻoku tatau ia mo e ngaahi maka kuo tā mei he moʻungá: ko kinautolu ʻoku hū ki aí ʻe veuveuki ʻa kinautolu ʻoku hū ki aí.
40 ʻE anga fēfē leva ha fakakaukau ʻa ha tangata ʻo ne pehē ko e ngaahi ʻotua kinautolu, ka naʻa mo e kau Kalitiá ʻoku nau taʻe-fakaʻapaʻapaʻi kinautolu?

42 Ka ʻoku ʻikai mahino ʻeni kiate kinautolu, pea nau liʻaki ia: he ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau ʻilo.
43 ʻOku ʻi ai foki mo e kakai fefine ʻoku ʻi ai honau ngaahi afo, ʻoku nau nofo ʻi he ngaahi hala, ʻo tutu ʻa e kaloni: ka ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻi ai hanau niʻihi, ʻoku tohoakiʻi ʻe ha niʻihi, tokoto fakataha mo ia, ʻoku ne manukiʻi ʻa hono kainga, pea naʻe ʻikai lau ia ʻoku taau mo ia, pe motu hono afo.
44 Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fai ʻiate kinautolú ʻoku hala: ʻe anga fēfē leva haʻane fakakaukau pe pehē ko e ngaahi ʻotua kinautolu?
45 ʻOku ngaohi kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e kau tufunga mo e kau fai tomuʻa ngāue: he ʻikai ke nau lava ʻo hoko ko ha meʻa kehe mei he kau tangata ngāué.
46 Pea ko kinautolu naʻa nau ngaohi kinautolú ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te nau lava ʻo hokohoko atu fuoloa; ʻe anga fēfē leva ʻa e hoko ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻe ngaohi ʻaki kinautolú ko e ngaahi ʻotua?
47 He naʻa nau tuku ʻa e ngaahi loi mo e ngaahi manuki kiate kinautolu ʻoku muiaki maí.
48 He ʻo ka hoko ha tau pe mahaki fakaʻauha kiate kinautolu, ʻe fealeaʻaki ʻa e kau taulaʻeikí mo kinautolu pē, ʻa ia ʻe fufuuʻi ai ʻa kinautolu fakataha mo kinautolu.

50 He ʻi heʻenau mamata ki aí ko e ʻakau pē, pea ko e tānaki ʻaki ʻa e silivá mo e koulá, ʻe ʻilo ai ʻamui ʻoku nau loi:

53 He ʻoku ʻikai foki te nau lava ʻo fokotuʻu ha tuʻi ʻi he fonuá, pe ʻuha ki he tangatá.

55 ʻA ia ʻo ka tō ʻa e afí ki he fale ʻo e ngaahi ʻotua ʻakau, pe hilifaki ʻaki ʻa e koula pe siliva, ʻe hola ʻa ʻenau kau taulaʻeikí ʻo hao; ka ʻe tutu ʻa kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi malamalaʻi ngaahi.
56 ʻIkai ngata aí, he ʻikai ke nau lava ʻo matuʻuaki ha tuʻi pe fili: ʻe anga fēfē leva haʻane fakakaukau pe pehē ko e ngaahi ʻotua kinautolu?
57 ʻOku ʻikai foki ke lava ʻo hao mei he kau kaihaʻá pe kau kaihaʻá ʻa e ngaahi ʻotua ko ia ʻo e ʻakaú, pea fakatokoto ʻaki ʻa e silivá pe koulá.
58 ʻA ia ko ʻenau koulá, mo e silivá, mo e ngaahi kofu kuo kofu ʻaki ʻa kinautolú, ko kinautolu ʻoku mālohí ke toʻo, pea nau ʻalu ʻo ʻalu: pea ʻoku ʻikai foki te nau faʻa tokoni kiate kinautolu pē.
59 Ko ia ʻoku lelei ange ke hoko ko ha tuʻi ʻokú ne fakahā ʻa hono mālohí, pe ko ha meʻangāue ʻaonga ʻi ha fale, ʻa ia ʻe fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe he tokotaha ʻoku ʻaʻaná, ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua loi peheé; pe ke hoko ko ha matapā ʻi ha fale, ke tauhi ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa peheé, ʻi ha ngaahi ʻotua loi pehē. pe ko ha pou ʻakau ʻi ha palasi, ʻi ha ngaahi ʻotua loi pehē.
60 He ko e laʻaá, māhiná, mo e ngaahi fetuʻú, ʻoku ngingila pea fekauʻi mai ke nau fai honau ngaahi lakangá, ʻoku nau talangofua.
