12
1 Ko e fakamaʻa ʻae fefine hili ʻae fāʻele. 6 Ko ʻene feilaulau ʻi hono fakamaʻa.
1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2 Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Kapau ʻoku feitama ha fefine, pea fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama tangata: pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi ʻaho fakamavahe ʻi hono mahaki.
3 Pea ʻi hono valu ʻoe ʻaho ʻe kamu ʻae muʻa kili ʻo hono potuʻoe tama tangata.
4 Pea ʻe nofo pēʻae fefine ʻi he toto ʻo hono fakamaʻa ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolungofulu ma tolu; ʻe ʻikai te ne ala ki ha meʻa tapu, pe hū ki he faletapu, kaeʻoua ke kakato ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono fakamaʻa.
5 Pea kapau te ne fāʻeleʻi ha taʻahine, ʻe taʻemaʻa ai ia ʻi he uike ʻe ua, ʻo hangē ko hono mavahe: pea te ne nofo ʻi he ʻaho ʻe onongofulu ma ono koeʻuhi ko e toto mo hono fakamaʻa.
6 Pea ka kakato ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono fakamaʻa, koeʻuhi ko e tama, pe ko e taʻahine, te ne ʻomi ʻe ia ha lami ʻoe ʻuluaki taʻu ki he feilaulau tutu, mo e lupe mui, pe ha kulukulu, ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala, ki he taulaʻeiki ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai:
7 ʻAia te ne ʻatu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne fai ʻae fakalelei maʻana; pea ʻe fakamaʻa ai ia mei he ʻau ʻo hono toto. Ko eni ʻae fono kiate ia kuo ne fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama pe ko e taʻahine.
8 Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ʻomi ʻe ia ha lami, te ne toki ʻomi ʻe ia ha kulukulu ʻe ua, pe ko e lupe mui ʻe ua; ko e taha ki he feilaulau tutu, pea ko e taha ki he feilaulau maʻae angahala: pea ʻe fai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae fakalelei maʻana, pea ʻe maʻa ai ia.
