3 Ko ia ʻi he ʻikai kei lava ke mau makātakiʻi ʻemau ʻunaloto atu kiate kimoutolú, naʻa mau fakakaukau ai ko e lelei tahá ke mau nofo atu pē ʻi ʻAtenisi;+
2 pea naʻa mau fekauʻi atu ʻa Tīmote,+ ko homau tokoua mo e faifekau* ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ongoongo lelei fekauʻaki mo e Kalaisí, ke ne ʻai kimoutolu ke mou tuʻu maʻu* mo fakafiemālieʻi kimoutolu ʻi he fekauʻaki mo hoʻomou tuí,
3 koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻi ai ha taha ʻe fakavaivaiʻi* ʻe he ngaahi mamahí ni. He ko kimoutolu tonu ʻoku mou ʻiloʻi ʻe ʻikai lava ke tau kalofi ʻa e tofanga ʻi he ngaahi meʻa peheé.+
4 He ʻi heʻemau ʻiate kimoutolú, naʻa mau faʻa tala tokamuʻa atu kiate kimoutolu te tau tofanga ʻi he mamahi, pea ko e meʻa ia kuo hokó, ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ia ʻoku mou ʻilo ki aí.+
5 Ko e ʻuhinga ia, ʻi he ʻikai ke u kei lava ke makātakiʻi iá, naʻá ku fekauʻi atu ai ʻa Tīmoté ke u ʻilo ai ki hoʻomou faitōnungá,+ naʻa kuo fakataueleʻi koā kimoutolu ia ʻe he Tokotaha-ʻAhiʻahí,+ pea kuo hoko ʻemau fakaongosiá ko e koto kulanoa.
6 Ka kuo toki aʻu mai eni ʻa Tīmote meiate kimoutolu+ pea kuó ne ʻomai kiate kimautolu ʻa e ongoongo lelei fekauʻaki mo hoʻomou faitōnungá mo e ʻofá, pea ʻoku hokohoko atu maʻu pē hoʻomou manatu ʻofa mai kiate kimautolú pea ʻoku mou fakaʻamu ke sio kiate kimautolu ʻo hangē pē ko ʻemau fakaʻamu ke sio atu kiate kimoutolú.
7 Ko e ʻuhinga ia, fanga tokoua, ʻi he kotoa ʻo homau faingataʻaʻiá* mo e mamahí, kuo fakafiemālieʻi kimautolu koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu pea mo e faitōnunga ʻoku mou fakahāhaá.+
8 Pea ʻoku toe fakalongomoʻuiʻi kimautolu* koeʻuhí ko hoʻomou tuʻu maʻu ʻi he ʻEikí.
9 He ʻe lava fēfē ke mau fakahāhā ʻemau fakamālō ki he ʻOtuá ʻi he fekauʻaki mo kimoutolú ke tuha mo e fiefia lahi ʻoku mau ongoʻi ʻi he ʻao ʻo homau ʻOtuá koeʻuhi ko kimoutolú?
10 ʻOku mau fai ʻa e ngaahi hū tōtōaki ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho ʻo fai tōtōivi ia ʻi he lahi taha ʻemau malavá ke mau sio tonu kiate kimoutolu* pea ke tokonaki atu ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ʻikai te mou maʻu ʻi hoʻomou tuí.+
11 Ko ia, fakatauange ke hanga ʻe hotau ʻOtuá mo e Tamaí tonu pea mo hotau ʻEiki ko Sīsuú ʻo tofa ha hala moʻomautolu ke mau aʻu atu ai kiate kimoutolu.
12 ʻIkai ko ia pē, fakatauange ke ʻai kimoutolu ʻe he ʻEikí ke mou tupulekina, ʻio, ke mou hulu atu ʻi he feʻofaʻaki ʻiate kimoutolu+ pea ki he faʻahinga kotoa, hangē tofu pē ko ia ko e hulu ʻemau ʻofa atu kiate kimoutolú,
13 koeʻuhi ke ne ʻai homou lotó ke mālohi, ʻo taʻehalaia ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻo hotau ʻOtuá+ mo e Tamaí ʻi he ʻi heni* ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sīsuú+ fakataha mo e kotoa ʻo ʻene kakai tapú.
