Luke 13:8-17

⁸Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, ‘ʻEiki, tuku ai pe ia ʻi he taʻu ni foki, kaeʻoua ke u keli tākai, mo taufetuku ki ai.

⁹Heiʻilo ʻe toki fua ia, pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, pea ke toki tā hifo ia.’”

¹⁰Pea naʻe ako ia ʻi he falelotu ʻe taha ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.

¹¹Pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ha fefine naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie fakamahaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma valu, pea naʻe mapelu ia ki lalo, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke faʻa tuʻu hake ia.

¹²Pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne ui ia, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Fefine, kuo veteki koe mei hoʻo mahaki.”

¹³Pea ne hilifaki hono nima kiate ia; pea naʻe toki tuʻu totonu leva ia, mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua.

¹⁴Pea lea ʻita ange ʻae pule ʻoe falelotu, koeʻuhi naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe Sisu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ʻo ne pehē ki he kakai, “ʻOku ono ʻae ʻaho ʻoku totonu ke ngāue ai ʻae kakai: ko ia mou haʻu ai ke mou moʻui, kaeʻoua ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.”

¹⁵Pea folofola ange ʻae ʻEiki, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Ko e mālualoi koe! ʻIkai ʻoku mou taki taha vete ʻene pulu, pe ko ʻene ʻasi, mei hono tuʻunga, ʻo tataki ia ke fakainu, ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate?

¹⁶Pea ʻe ʻikai lelei ke vete ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, mei he haʻi ni, ʻae fefine ni, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻaia kuo haʻisia ʻe Sētane, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma valu ni?”

¹⁷Pea ʻi heʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe ma hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē; kae fiefia ʻae kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ongoongolelei kotoa pē kuo ne fai.
