Ioni 8:21-26

²¹Ta wese Ieisu vonedi vonaya, “Yaʼa yatautauya mali diʼwea, ta omiʼa ona saligu, ta emi luveifana weaqina ona ʼaliga. Ta maʼinaya yatautauya omiʼa ge ami fata ona wai ʼinaya.”

²²Ena vona baʼe weaqina me Diu taudiega nuanidia ivonaya, “Nage nuanuana taunega naluveʼaligia?” Ta wese ivonaya, “ʼOloto nana wese vonedaya, ‘Maʼinaya yatautauya omiʼa ge ami fata ona wai ʼinaya.’ Ta baʼe vona nana maʼoda ana alamani?”

²³ʼInega Ieisu wese vonedia, “Omiʼa baʼinega omai, ta yaʼa debanega yamai. Omiʼa bwaʼobwaʼo ana tomotauyavo, ta yaʼa ge bwaʼobwaʼo ana tomotau.

²⁴Niʼa yavonemi omiʼa ona ʼaliga emi luveifana weaqina. Vonahaqiaqi, ʼeguma ge oda vetumaqanegu yaʼa baʼe taugu weaqigu yavonavona, e ʼinega emi luveifana weaqina ona ʼaliga.”

²⁵ʼInega ivetalaʼaiea ivonaya, “Oʼa togama?” Ta Ieisu veʼiedi vonaya, “Tuta nana yaveʼale yagivesimatalia ʼimia taugu weaqigu be ana laba baʼitagana niʼa yavonemi yaʼa togama, ta wese yavona aqiaqiemi benaʼe yaʼa tauguna.

²⁶Agu fata be vona kuena eda ʼinanea omiʼa weaqimi, ta wese agu fata be yani taha taha weaqidi eda luvinemi. Ta baʼe yani diavona weaqina ge ena vonemi, ta ʼesi tolaʼai agu Tovetune niʼa vonegu ta yanoqolia e baʼe yani diavona weaqidi omiʼa totoa bwaʼobwaʼo ena vonemi. Ta Tovetune nana ma ana vetumaqana!”
