Fakahā 13

1 Pea ne u tuʻu ʻi he ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi, pea u mamata ʻoku ʻalu hake mei he tahi ʻae manu fekai, naʻe fitu hono ʻulu pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae nifo ʻe hongofulu, pea naʻe ʻi hono ngaahi nifo ʻae pale ʻe hongofulu, pea ʻi hono ngaahi ʻulu ʻae hingoa ko Taukae ʻOtua.

2 Pea ko e manu fekai ʻaia ne u mamata ai, naʻe tatau mo e lēpati, pea ko hono vaʻe naʻe hangē ko e vaʻe ʻo ha pea, pea ko hono ngutu naʻe hangē ko e ngutu ʻo ha laione: pea naʻe ʻatu ki ai ʻe he fuʻu ngata ʻa ʻene mālohi ʻaʻana, mo hono nofoʻanga, mo e pule lahi.

3 Pea ne u mamata naʻe hangē kuo lavea ʻo mate hono foʻi ʻulu ʻe taha; ka naʻe toe moʻui pe hono lavea fakamate: pea naʻe fakatumutumu ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻo muimui ʻi he manu fekai.

4 Pea naʻa nau hū ki he fuʻu ngata ʻaia ne ne ʻatu ʻae mālohi ki he manu fekai: ʻonau hū ki he manu fekai, ʻonau pehē, “Ko hai ʻoku tatau mo e manu fekai? Ko hai ʻoku faʻa fai ke tauʻi ia?”

5 Pea naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻae ngutu ke lea fie lahi, mo taukae ki he ʻOtua; pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ʻae pule ke fai ʻae tau ʻi he māhina ʻe fāngofulu ma ua,

6 Pea ne faai hono ngutu ʻi he lea taukae ki he ʻOtua, ke lauʻikovi hono huafa, mo hono fale fehikitaki, mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he langi.

7 Pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ke ne tauʻi ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea ke ne ikuna ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ʻae pule ki he ngaahi faʻahinga, mo e ngaahi lea, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.

8 Pea ʻe hū kiate ia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai tohi honau hingoa ʻi he tohi ʻoe moʻui ʻoe Lami, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi talu mei he fakatupu ʻo māmani.

9 Kapau ʻoku telinga ha taha, pea fakafanongo ia.

10 Ko ia ʻoku ne tataki ki he pōpula, ʻe moʻua ia ki he pōpula: ko ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā, ʻoku totonu ke tāmateʻi ʻaki ia ʻae heletā. Ko eni ʻae faʻa kātaki mo e tui ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni.

11 Pea ne u mamata ki he manu fekai ʻe taha ʻoku ʻalu hake ʻi he fonua; pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae nifoʻi ʻulu ʻe ua, naʻe hangē ia ko e lami, pea naʻa ne lea ʻo hangē ha fuʻu ngata.

12 Pea ʻoku fai ʻe ia ʻae pule kotoa pē ʻoe ʻuluaki manu fekai naʻe muʻa ʻiate ia, ʻo ne fai ke hū ʻa māmani mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ai ki he ʻuluaki manu fekai, ʻi heʻene moʻui ʻa hono lavea. Naʻa ne mei mate ai.

13 Pea ʻoku fai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo lahi, ʻo ne fai ke ʻalu hifo ʻae afi mei he langi ki he fonua, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai,

14 Pea ne kākaaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani, ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ko ia naʻe tuku kiate ia ʻae mālohi ke fai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe manu fekai; ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi mamani, ke nau ngaohi ha fakatātā ki he manufekai, ʻaia naʻe lavea ʻi he heletā, kae moʻui pe.

15 Pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ke ne foaki ʻae moʻui ki he fakatātā ʻoe manu fekai, ke lea ai ʻae fakatātā ʻoe manu fekai, pea pule ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻikai te nau hū ki he fakatātā ʻoe manu fekai.

16 Pea naʻa ne puleʻi kotoa pē, ʻae iiki mo e lalahi, ʻae maʻumeʻa mo e masiva, ʻae tauʻatāina mo e pōpula, ke nau maʻu ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻi honau nima toʻomataʻu, pe ʻi honau foʻi laʻē:

17 Pea ke ʻoua naʻa fakatau mai pe fakatau atu ʻe ha taha, ka ko ia pe kuo ʻi ai ʻae fakaʻilonga, pe ʻae hingoa ʻoe manu fekai, pe ko e lau ʻo hono hingoa.

18 Ko eni ʻae poto. Ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae ʻilo, ke ne lau hono lau ʻoe manu fekai: he ko e lau ia ʻoe tangata; pea ko hono lau ko e onongeau ma onongofulu ma ono.
