Luke 14:11-18

¹¹He ko ia ia ʻoku hiki hake ia, ʻe fakavaivai ia; pea ko ia ʻoku fakavaivai ia, ʻe hakeakiʻi ia.”

¹²Pea pehē ai foki ʻe ia kiate ia ne ne tala kiate ia, “ʻOka ke ka teuteu ʻae kai hoʻatā pe ʻae ʻohomohe, ʻoua naʻa ke ui ki ai ho kaumeʻa, pe ho ngaahi temomo, pe ho kāinga, pe ko e kaungāʻapi koloaʻia, telia naʻa nau toe tala kiate koe, pea totongi ai kiate koe.

¹³Ka ʻoka ke ka teu ʻae kātoanga, ui ʻae kau masiva, mo e lavea, mo e pipiki, mo e kui:

¹⁴‌ʻE monūʻia ai ʻa koe; he ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa totongi kiate koe: ka ʻe totongi kiate koe ʻi he toetuʻu ʻoe angatonu.”

¹⁵Pea ko e tokotaha naʻe nofo ʻo kai mo ia, ʻi heʻene fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻE monūʻia ia ʻaia te ne kai mā ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”

¹⁶Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Naʻe te u ʻe he tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻae ʻohomohe lahi, ʻo ne tala ia ki he tokolahi:

¹⁷Pea hoko ʻae feituʻupō ke kai, pea ne fekau ʻene tamaioʻeiki ke fakahā kiate kinautolu naʻe tala ki ai, ‘Haʻu he kuo teuteu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.’

¹⁸Pea naʻa nau loto taha kotoa pē ʻo kamata fakafisi. Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻuluaki kiate ia, ‘Kuo u fakatau ʻae potu fonua, pea ʻoku ngali ke u ʻalu ʻo vakai ia:’ ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tukuange au.
