"1PEA ‘i he taimi ko ia na‘e ‘ikai ha tu‘i ‘Isileli; pea na‘e ai tokua ha motu‘a Līvai na‘e ‘āunofo ki he potu ki kō ‘o Mo‘unga-‘Ifalemi, na‘a ne to‘o ma‘ane sinifu ha fefine mei Pētelihema-Siuta. 2Pea hanga ‘ene sinifu, ‘o fai kovi mo ha tangata kehe, pea ne toki li‘aki ‘a e motu‘a, ‘o ne ‘alu ki he ‘api ‘o ‘ene tamai, ki Pētelihema-Siuta, pea ne ‘i ai fuoloa, fe‘unga mo e māhina ‘e fā. 3Pea tu‘u hono motu‘a ‘o ‘alu hono kumi, ke ne lea ki ai ke fakafoki hono loto, pea na‘e ō mo ia ‘ene talavou mo e ongo ‘asi: pea fakahū mai ia ‘e he fefine ki he fale ‘o ‘ene tamai: pea ‘i he mamata kiate ia ‘e he tamai ‘a e finemui, na‘a ne fiefia ke fe‘iloaki mo ia. 4Pea ta‘ofi ‘a e motu‘a ‘e hono kāinga mali, ‘a e tamai ‘a e fefine; pea nau nonofo ‘o ‘aho tolu: ‘o nau kai mo inu mo mohe ai. 5Pea ‘i hono ‘aho fā tokua pea nau tu‘u hengihengi hake, pea tu‘u ‘a e motu‘a ke ‘alu: ka ka pehē mai ‘a e motu‘a, ‘a e tamai ‘a e fefine, ki hono foha, ‘Oua ke fakafiemālie ‘aki ho loto ha me‘i tokoni pea mou toki ō.

6Ko ia na‘a na nonofo hifo ai, ‘o kai kinaua ‘osi pē, pea nau fai kava; pea pehē ‘e he tamai ‘a e fefine ki he motu‘a, Loto lelei, ka tau tatoka, ka tau fiefia mu‘a.

7Ka ka tu‘u ‘a e motu‘a ke ‘alu, ka ka ta‘ofi mālohi ki ai ‘e he‘ene tamai: ko ia na‘a ne foki mai, ‘o mohe ‘i he potu ko ia. 8Pea ne tu‘u hengihengi hake ‘i hono ‘aho nima ke ‘alu: ka ka lea mai ‘a e tamai ‘a e fefine, Fakafiemālie mu‘a ho loto, ‘o fakatotoka ho‘o ‘alu, kae‘oua ke pale ‘a e ‘aho: ko ia na‘a na tokoni kinaua.

9Pea tu‘u ‘a e motu‘a ke ‘alu, ‘a ia mo ‘ene sinifu mo ‘ene talavou, pea lea mai ki ai hono kāinga ko e tamai ‘a e fefine, ‘Oua koā; vakai ange mu‘a kuo efiafi hifo; tau tatoka mu‘a. Vakai, kuo mei ‘osi ‘a e ‘aho; mohe heni ka tau fakafiefia; pea ke ‘ā pongipongi, ‘o tu‘u hengihengi ‘o fai ho fononga, ‘o ‘alu ki ho tēniti.

10Ka e ‘ikai loto ‘a e tangata ke toe mohe, pea ne tu‘u pē ‘o ‘alu, ‘o a‘u ki he hāngai ki Siepusi (ko Selusalema ia): pea na‘e ‘iate ia ha ongo ‘asi kuo teuteu; na‘a nau ō foki mo ‘ene sinifu."

Fakamaau 19:1 “Pea ʻi he taimi ko iá naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻIsileli pea naʻe ʻai tokua ha motuʻa Livai naʻe ʻaunofo ki he potu ki kō ʻo Moʻunga Ifalemi naʻá ne toʻo maʻa ne sinifu ha fefine mei Petelihema Siuta.”

Ko e vahe ʻe tolu ʻo e tohí ni ʻoku toe ʻi ai ha taha ʻo e ngaahi hisitolia fakamamahi taha ʻo e fai angahala ʻa e kau tangata ʻo e kolo ko Kipea ʻo e matakali ʻo Penisimaní, pea ko hono fakahaaʻi ia ʻo e hiki ʻo ʻIsilelí ki he ʻaitoli pea mei ai ki he ʻulungaanga fulikivanu mo e taú. He kapau heʻikai tuku ʻa e fai angahalá ʻe mafola pe ʻo hangē ha tautea mo ha fakaʻauhá. Ko e tupuʻanga ʻo e faingataʻaʻia tefito ʻe ʻIsilelí, ko ʻenau tauʻatāina mei he ʻOtuá, pea mahamahaki ʻenau tauhi ʻene laó. Pea heʻikai ha meʻa ia ʻe lava ʻo tonu ʻi he taimi ʻe fai ai ʻe he tangata kotoa pe ia ʻa e meʻa ʻoku hā totonu pe ia ki he mata ʻoʻoná. Pea ko e taimi ia ʻo e ʻulungaanga mo e fakapoʻuli fakalaumalie (Ais 8:20, 21).

Ko e motuʻa Livai ko ení ʻoku ʻikai ko ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei ia ʻo ha taki fakalaumalie he naʻa ne maʻu ha fefine ko ʻene sinifu. Ko e maʻu sinifu naʻe tali ia ko e kupu ia ʻo e sosaieti ʻIsilelí, neongo naʻe ʻikai ko e meʻa ia naʻe kaveinga ki ai ʻa e ʻOtuá, he ko e malí ʻa e taumuʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá (Sen 2:24). Ko ha sinifu naʻá ne maʻu ʻe ia ʻa e lahitaha ʻo e ngaahi fatongia, ka ko e ngaahi monūʻia pe maʻae uaifí. Neongo ʻoku fakalao pe ke ne kau ki he tangata pe ʻe taha, ko ko ia mo ʻene fānaú heʻikai ke nau maʻu ʻa e ngaahi totonu ki he tofiʻá, ʻa ē ʻoku fakalao ki ai ʻa e uaifi ia mo ʻene fānau ia ʻaʻana. Pea ko e fatongia ʻuluaki pe ʻo e sinifú, ko hono fakafiefiaʻi ʻo e tangata, pea tānaki mai mo hono fua ʻa e fānaú, pea tokoni lahi ʻi he tauhi ʻo e ngaahi ʻapí, pe ko e tofiʻa ʻokú ne ʻi ai. Pea ko e meimei ko e kau sinifú ko e kakai fefine popula muli kinautolu ko e maʻu mai he taú. Pea ko e tuʻunga ia ʻo e sinifu ko ení naʻá na maumau mo e motuʻa Livaí, ʻo foki ʻa e sinifu ia ki heʻene tamai ki Petelihema Siuta, pea ʻalu ki ai ʻa e Livaí ke na fakalelei, pea ko e hili ʻeni ʻena fakalelei pea nau foki leva.

Ko e tuʻunga ia hotau fakalelei mo e ʻOtuá naʻe fai ʻe Kalaisí. “Naʻá ne ngaohi koe koto angahala ʻa e Toko Taha ko ia naʻe ʻikai te ne ongoua ha angahala, koeʻuhi ko kitautolu, koeʻuhi ke tau hoko ai ʻiate ia ko e koto maʻoniʻoni fakaʻotua (2 Kol 5:21).
