Ko e hā ‘a e me‘a ‘oku ‘eke ‘e he fika

(What does God require in the ninth and
tenth commandments?)
Hiva, ke ‘oua na‘a tau loi pe kākā, ka tau
lea‘aki ‘a e mo‘oní ‘i he ‘ofa. Hongofulú,
ke tau topono, ‘o ‘oua te tau meheka pe manumanu ki ha me‘a ‘oku ma‘u ‘e ha

(Ninth, that we do not lie or deceive, but
speak the truth in love. Tenth, that we are content, not envying anyone or
resenting what God has given them or us)
Semisi 2:28 (Liliu ‘a Uesi)
Ko eni,
kapau te mou fakamoʻoni ki he fono fakaʻeikí, ʻo fakatatau ki he tohí, “Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko

‘Io, kapau mo‘oni ko ho‘omou tauhi ke haohaoa ‘a e lao fakatu‘i na, ‘o
fai ki he potu tohi ko ia, Te ke ‘ofa ki ho kaungā‘api ‘o hangē ko ho‘o ‘ofa
kiate koe, tā ‘oku mālō ho‘omou ngāue:

Commentary - JOHN BRADFORD
Thou
Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbour. Now dost
thou, most gracious Lord, instruct me in this commandment, how
I should use my tongue towards my neighbour, and behave my self concerning his
name, forbidding me to bear false witness; in the which thou forbiddest me all
kinds of slandering, lying, hypocrisy, and untruth. And why? Because, as ‘members
of one body," thou wouldest we should "speak truth one to
another," and be careful every one to cover others' infirmity, and with
our tongue defend the names of others, even as we would that others should
defend ours: that in this commandment, as thou forbiddest me all kind of evil so
perilous, calumnious and untrue speaking, so dost thou command to me all kind
of godly, honest, and true report and talk... . O how great a good thing is
this unto me! If we consider the hurt that cometh by untruth, and by words
wherethrough many are deceived, easily may we see a wonderful benefit and care
of thee for us in this commandment.
