23 ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho lahi hili hono foaki ʻe Sihova ki ʻIsileli ʻa e mālōlō+ mei he kotoa ʻo hono ngaahi fili takatakaí, pea kuo motuʻa ʻa Siosiua mo aʻuaʻu hono taʻú,+
2 naʻe ui mai ʻe Siosiua ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa,+ ko hono kau mātuʻá, ko hono ngaahi ʻulumotuʻá, ko hono kau fakamāú, mo hono kau ʻōfisá,+ peá ne pehē kiate kinautolu: “Kuó u motuʻa; kuo aʻuaʻu ʻa hoku taʻú.
3 Pea kuo mou mamata tonu ki he meʻa kotoa naʻe fai maʻamoutolu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa ko ení koeʻuhi ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá ʻa e tokotaha naʻe tau maʻamoutolú.+
4 Vakai, kuó u vaheʻi kiate kimoutolu fakafou ʻi he lulu*+ ʻa e fonua ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku toe ke ikunaʻí ko ha tofiʻa maʻa homou ngaahi matakalí,+ pea pehē ki he fonua ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa naʻá ku fakaʻauhá,+ mei Sioatani ki he Tahi Lahí* ʻi he hihifó.*
5 Pea ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne hanganaki tekeʻi kinautolu mei homou ʻaó,+ pea naʻá ne kapusi* kinautolu koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, pea naʻa mou maʻu honau fonuá, ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e talaʻofa ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá kiate kimoutolú.+
6 “Ko eni kuo pau ke mou mātuʻaki loto-toʻa ke tauhi mo fakahoko ʻa e meʻa kotoa ʻa ia ʻoku hiki ʻi he tohi ʻo e Lao+ ʻa Mōsesé ʻaki ʻa e ʻikai ʻaupito ke mou afe mei ai ki he toʻomataʻú pe ki he toʻohemá,+
7 ʻaki ʻa e ʻikai ʻaupito ke feohi mo e ngaahi puleʻanga+ ko eni ʻoku kei toe ʻiate kimoutolú. Kuo pau ke ʻoua naʻa mou teitei lave ki he hingoa ʻo honau ngaahi ʻotuá+ pe fai ha fakapapau ʻiate kinautolu, pea kuo pau ke ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa mou tauhi kiate kinautolu pe punou hifo kiate kinautolu.+
8 Ka kuo pau ke mou pīkitai kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá,+ ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ia kuo mou fai ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ní.
9 ʻE kapusi ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga lalahi mo mālohí mei homou ʻaó,+ he kuo ʻikai ha tangata ʻe malava ke ne tuʻu ʻi homou ʻaó ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻahó ni.+
10 ʻE tuli ʻe he tangata pē ʻe toko taha ʻo kimoutolu ha toko afe,+ koeʻuhí ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá ʻoku tau maʻamoutolu,+ ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ʻene talaʻofa kiate kimoutolú.+
11 Ko ia ke mou tokanga maʻu ai pē+ ʻaki hoʻomou ʻofa kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá.+
12 “Ka ʻo kapau ʻe faifai ange pea mou tafoki ʻo pīkitai ki he faʻahinga ʻoku toe ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ko eni ʻoku kei ʻiate kimoutolú+ pea mou fai ha ngaahi aleapau fakaemali*+ mo kinautolu pea feohi mo kinautolu pea nau feohi mo kimoutolu,
13 te mou ʻiloʻi fakapapau ai ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá ʻe ʻikai ke hokohoko atu ʻene kapusi* ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá ni koeʻuhi ko kimoutolú.+ Te nau hoko ko ha tauhele mo ha mounu pea mo ha uipi ki homou tuʻá+ mo e talatala ki homou matá kae ʻoua kuo mou ʻauha ʻosi mei he fonua lelei ko eni kuo foaki atu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá kiate kimoutolú.
14 “Pea vakai, ko au eni kuó u mei mate,* pea ʻoku mou ʻiloʻi lelei ʻi homou lotó kotoa mo hoʻomou moʻuí kotoa kuo ʻikai taʻefakahoko ha foʻi lea ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi talaʻofa lelei kotoa kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá kiate kimoutolú. Kuo hoko kotoa ia kiate kimoutolu. Kuo ʻikai taʻefakahoko ai ha foʻi lea ʻe taha.+
15 Kae hangē tofu pē ko e hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻa e ngaahi talaʻofa lelei kotoa kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá kiate kimoutolú,+ ʻe pehē hono ʻomi kiate kimoutolu ʻe Sihova ʻa e mala kotoa naʻá ne palōmesiʻakí pea fakaʻauha ʻosi kimoutolu mei he fonua lelei ko eni kuo foaki atu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá kiate kimoutolú.+
16 Kapau te mou maumauʻi ʻa e fuakava ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá ʻa ia naʻá ne tuʻutuʻuni atu ke mou tauhí pea kapau te mou ō ʻo tauhi ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehé pea punou hifo kiate kinautolu, ʻe kakaha leva ai ʻa e houhau ʻa Sihová kiate kimoutolu+ pea te mou ʻauha vave ai mei he fonua lelei kuó ne foaki atu kiate kimoutolú.”+
