Luke 12:4-18

⁴“Pea ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu ko hoku kāinga, “ʻOua te mou manavahē kiate kinautolu ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻae sino, pea hili ia ʻoku ʻikai mo ha meʻa te nau faʻa fai.

⁵Ka te u fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻaia te mou manavahē ki ai: manavahē kiate ia, ʻa ia, ʻoka hili ʻene tāmateʻi, ʻoku ne faʻa fai ke lī ki heli; ʻio, ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, manavahē kiate ia.

⁶“ʻIkai ʻoku fakatau ʻae kihiʻi manupuna ʻe nima ʻaki ʻae paʻanga siʻi ʻe ua? Pea ʻoku ʻikai ngalo hanau taha ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.

⁷Ka ko e ngaahi tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo homou ʻulu kuo lau kotoa pē. Ko ia ʻoua ʻe manavahē: he ʻoku mou mahuʻinga hake ʻi he fanga kihiʻi manu lahi.

⁸“ʻOku ou tala foki kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ia te ne fakahā au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, ʻe fakahā foki ia ʻe he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua.

⁹Ka ko ia ʻoku ne siʻaki au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, ʻe siʻaki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua.

¹⁰“Pea ko ia ʻe lea kovi ki he Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe fakamolemole ia kiate ia; ka ko ia ʻoku ne lohiakiʻi ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea ia.

¹¹“Pea ka nau ka ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi falelotu, mo e kau fakamaau, mo e kau pule, ʻoua naʻa mou feinga pe fēfē pe ko e hā te mou tali ʻaki, pe ko ia te mou fakahā:

¹²Koeʻuhi ʻe ako ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kimoutolu ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke mou lea ʻaki.”

¹³Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha ʻoe kakai kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ke ke leaange ki hoku tokoua ke ma vaeua mo au ʻae tofiʻa.”

¹⁴Pea pehē ʻe ia ki ai, “Tangata, Ko hai ne ne fakanofo au ko e fakamaau pe ko e tufaki kiate kimoutolu?”

¹⁵Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Tokanga pea vakai, telia ʻae manumanu: he ko e moʻui ʻae tangata ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hono lahi ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ne maʻu.”

¹⁶Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fua ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻae fonua ʻoe tangata koloaʻia ʻe tokotaha:

¹⁷Pea fifili ia ʻi hono loto, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e hā te u fai, he ʻoku ʻikai ha potu ke fetuku ki ai ʻeku ngaahi fua?’

¹⁸Pea ne pehē, ‘Te u fai eni: te u vete hifo ʻa hoku ngaahi feleoko, ʻo langa ke lalahi; pea teu fetuku ki ai ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fua kotoa pē mo ʻeku koloa.
