¹ TŪ ko kimaua–‘a Paula ko e ‘Aposetolo ‘a Sīsū Kalaisi ‘i he tu‘utu‘uni ‘a e ‘Otua, mo si‘i kāinga ko Tīmote –ko ‘ema tohi ki he siasi ‘a e ‘Otua ‘oku ‘i Kolinitō, mo e kau lotu kotoa pē ‘oku ‘i ‘Akeia kātoa.

² ‘Ofa ke mou ma‘u kelesi mo e fiemālie, mei he ‘Otua, ko ‘etau Tamai mo e ‘Eiki ko Sīsū Kalaisi.

Ko e Fakafeta‘i ‘a Paula ki he ‘Otuá

³ Ha taha ā ke fakamālō‘ia pe ko e ‘Otua mo Tamai ‘a hotau ‘Eiki ko Sīsū Kalaisi! ‘a ia ko e Tamai ‘a e fai manava‘ofa, mo e ‘Otua ‘oku ‘a‘ana ‘a e tokoni kotoa pē;

⁴ ‘a ia ‘oku ne tokoni kimautolu ‘i he‘emau tu‘utāmaki kotoa pē, koe‘uhi ke mau lava ai ke tokoni‘i ‘a kinautolu ‘oku ‘i he tu‘utāmaki kehekehe, ‘aki ‘a e tokoni ‘oku tokoni ‘aki kimautolu ‘e he ‘Otua.

⁵ He hangē ‘oku mahua mai ‘a e ngaahi mamahi ‘a Kalaisi kiate kimautolu; pehē ko e me‘a ‘ia Kalaisi ‘oku mahua mo homau tokoni‘i.

⁶ Ka neongo ko ha tu‘utāmaki ‘oku tō mai, ka ko e fai pē koe‘uhi ko homou tokoni‘i, mo homou fakamo‘ui; pea ka ko ha tokoni ‘oku tō mai, ko e fai ai pē koe‘uhi ko homou tokoni‘i–‘a ē ko ‘ene ngāue ‘a ho‘omou ‘ūkuma ‘a e ngaahi mamahi ‘oku mou mo‘ua tatau ai mo kimautolu.

⁷ Pea ‘oku ‘ikai tālakitu‘a ‘emau ‘amanaki ‘iate kimoutolu; ko ‘emau ‘ilo, hangē ‘oku tau kaungā mamahi, pehē foki ‘oku tau kaungā tokoni‘i.

⁸ He ‘oku ‘ikai te mau loto ke mou ta‘e‘ilo, kāinga, ki he tu‘utāmaki na‘e hoko kiate kimautolu ‘i ‘Ēsia; he‘emau mātu‘aki mafasia ai, ‘o ‘ikai mei lava ke tali, ko ia na‘e mole ‘aupito ‘emau ‘amanaki ki he mo‘ui.

⁹ ‘Io, na‘a mau ongona kuo tonu ‘a kimautolu ki he mate: koe‘uhi ke ‘oua na‘a mau falala kiate kimautolu, ka ki he ‘Otua ‘a ia ‘oku ne fokotu‘u ‘a e pekia.

¹⁰ Pea ko ia ia na‘a ne hamusi kimautolu mei he fu‘u mate‘anga ko ia na‘e pehē fau, pea te ne hamusi: ‘io, ‘oku mau falala kiate ia te ne fai ai pē ‘ene hamusi.

¹¹ Kehe ke mou kau ai foki, ‘o tu‘otu‘a ‘i he fai homau lotua: koe‘uhi ā ke hoko ‘i he hū ‘a e tokolahi ‘a homau ‘ofeina, kae fai ‘e ha tokolahi ‘a e fakafeta‘i koe‘uhi ko kimautolu.

Ko e Liliu ‘e Paula ‘ene Fokotu‘utu‘ú

¹² He ko ‘emau pōlepole ‘a ‘eni, ko e fakapapau ‘e homau konisēnisi, ko ‘emau fakafeangai ki māmani, kae‘uma‘ā kiate kimoutolu, na‘e ‘i he mā‘oni‘oni faka‘otua, mo e loto hangataha, ‘o ‘ikai tu‘u ‘i he poto fakakakano, ka ‘i he kelesi ‘a e ‘Otua.

¹³ He tala‘ehai ‘oku mau tohi atu ha me‘a kehe, ka ko ena pē ‘oku mou lau, ‘io mo ongo‘i foki ko e mo‘oni; pea ‘oku te falala te mou ongo‘i kimautolu ‘o a‘u ki he ngata‘anga;

¹⁴ (‘o hangē foki ne fai ‘e homou ni‘ihi) ‘o pehē, ko homou pōlepole‘anga kimautolu, ‘o hangē ko homau pōlepole‘anga kimoutolu ‘i he ‘Aho ‘o hotau ‘Eiki ko Sīsū.

¹⁵ Pea ‘i he‘eku falala pehē, na‘a ku loto ke fuofua ‘alu kiate kimoutolu, koe‘uhi ke mou ma‘u tu‘o ua ha kelesi;

¹⁶ ka u fou atu ‘iate kimoutolu ki Masitōnia, ‘o u toe ha‘u mei Masitōnia kiate kimoutolu, kae ‘amoutolu hoku moimoi‘i ki Siutea.

¹⁷ Pea ‘i he‘eku loto pehē, na‘a ku va‘inga‘aki koā? pe ko ‘eku ngaahi tu‘utu‘uni ‘oku fokotu‘u fakaemāmani koā, koe‘uhi ke fai ‘a e ‘Io, ‘Io, mo e ‘Ikai ‘Ikai, ‘ō?

¹⁸ Ka ko e ‘Otua ‘oku mo‘oni! ‘oku ‘ikai ko e ‘Io pea ‘Ikai ‘a ‘emau ngaahi akonaki ‘oku fai atu.

¹⁹ He ko e ‘Alo ‘o e ‘Otua–‘a Kalaisi Sīsū, ‘a ia na‘e malanga‘aki ‘i homou ha‘oha‘onga ‘e kimautolu, ‘e au mo Silivenusi mo Tīmote, –tala‘ehai ne hoko ia ko e ‘Io pea ‘Ikai; kaekehe kuo ne hoko ko e ‘Io ‘iate ia.

²⁰ He neongo pe ‘oku fiha ‘a e ngaahi tala‘ofa ‘a e ‘Otua, ka ‘oku tu‘u kotoa pē ‘iate ia hono ‘Io; ko ia ‘oku fou ‘iate ia foki hono ‘Ēmeni; ke ai ha ongoongolelei ‘e hoko ki he ‘Otua ‘iate kimautolu.

²¹ Pea ko eni, ko ia ‘oku ne vilitaki ai pē ‘a kimautolu mo kimoutolu ke tau taha mo ‘ene Pani, pea ne pani foki kitautolu, ko e ‘Otua ia:

²² ‘a ia foki na‘a ne sila‘i kitautolu, pea ne ‘omi, ‘a e me‘a faka‘amanaki, ko e Laumālie ‘i hotau loto.
