Ko e hā ‘a e lao ‘a e ‘Otuá  ‘oku hiki ‘i he Fekau ‘e Hongofulú?

(What is the law of God stated in the Ten Commandments?)

‘Oua na‘a ai hao ‘Otua kehe, ‘o ua ‘aki au. ‘Oua te ke ngaohi ma‘au ha tamapua, pe ha momo‘i fakatātā ‘o ha me‘a ‘o e langi ‘i ‘olunga na, pe ‘o māmani ‘i lalo ni, pe ‘o e tahi ‘i lolofonua. ‘Oua te ke hū ki ai, pea ‘oua te ke tauhi ki ai. ‘Oua te ke takuanoa ‘a e huafa ‘o Sihova ko ho ‘Otua. Manatu ‘a e ‘aho Sāpate ke tauhi ia ke tapu. Faka‘apa‘apa ki ho‘o tamai mo ho‘o fa‘ē. ‘Oua na‘a ke fakapō. ‘Oua na‘a ke tono ‘unoho. ‘Oua na‘a ke kaiha‘a. ‘Oua na‘a ke tu‘u ko e fakamo‘oni loi. ‘Oua te ke manumanu.

(You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below – you shall not bow down to them or worship them. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Honor your father and your mother. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony. You shall not covet.)

‘Ekisoto 20:3

‘Oua na‘a ai hao ‘Otua kehe, ‘o ua ‘aki Au.

Exodus 20:3

You shall have no other gods before Me.

Ko e ngaahi me‘a ko ení, ‘oku mahino ia ‘i he‘ene felāve‘i mo e lao ‘a e ‘Otuá, he ko e kovinānite ia ‘o e ngaue: kapau ‘e talangofua ha taha ‘o ne fai kotoa ‘a e fekau ‘e hiva ka ne maumau‘i ‘a e taha, ko e taha ko ia na‘a ne maumau‘í te ne faka‘auha ia, pea ‘e tāpuni ia mei he fiefia ‘o hevaní , ‘o hangē pe ia na‘a ne maumau‘i kotoa ‘a e ngaahi laó… Pea kapau te ke fai tōtōivi hono tauhi e ngaahi lao ko ení , ‘o ke tauhi kotoa ‘o laulau ta‘u, hongofulu, uofulu pe nimangofulu‘i ta‘u, pea ka faifai angé  kuo ke tō nounou ‘o ke maumau‘i tu‘o taha pē, ha fo‘i lao pe ‘e taha mei ai kimu‘a pea ke maté, ko ho‘o mole tataú ai pe ‘o fakatatau ki he kovinānite ko ení.

Ka ko kinautolu ‘oku nau ‘i he malumalu ‘o e kovinānite ‘o e kelesí , te nau hao kinautolu ‘i he kelesí , ka ko kinautolu ‘oku ‘i he malumalu ‘o e kovinānite ‘o e ngaué, ‘e fakamala‘ia‘i kinautolu kapau te nau hokohoko atu ai pe hono tauhi ‘a e kovinānite ‘o e ngaué.

These things are clear as touching the law of God, as it is a covenant of works: if a man do fulfill nine of the commandments, and yet breaketh but one, that being broken will as surely destroy him, and shut him out from the joys of heaven, as if he had actually transgressed against them all… Though thou shouldst fulfill this covenant or law, even all of it, for a long time, ten, twenty, fourty, fifty, or threescore years; if thou do chance to slip, and break one of them but once before thou die, thou art also gone and lost by that covenant… As they that are under the covenant of grace shall surely be saved by it, so, even so, they that are under the covenants of works and the law, they shall surely be damned by it, if continuing therein.
