Luke 18:8-14

⁸‌ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE fakamaau vave ʻe ia ʻakinautolu. Ka ʻi he haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata, te ne ʻilo ʻae tui ʻi he fonua?”

⁹Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni ki he niʻihi naʻa nau falala kiate kinautolu kuo nau māʻoniʻoni, mo nau manukiʻi ʻae kakai kehe:

¹⁰“Naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae ongo tangata ki he falelotu lahi ke lotu; ko e tokotaha ko e Fālesi, pea ko e tānaki tukuhau ʻae tokotaha.

¹¹Naʻe tuʻu atu pe ʻae Fālesi, pea lotu, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻoku ʻikai te u hangē ko e kau tangata kehe, ke fakamālohi, mo taʻeangatonu, mo tono fefine, pe hangē ko e tānaki tukuhau ni.

¹²‌ʻOku liunga ua ʻeku ʻaukai ʻi he uike, pea ʻoku ou ʻatu ʻae tukuhau ʻi heʻeku meʻa fulipē.’

¹³Ka naʻe tuʻu mamaʻo atu ʻae tānaki tukuhau, pea ʻikai faʻa hanga hake hono mata ki he langi, ka naʻe si fatafata ia, mo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au ko e angahala.’

¹⁴‌ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻae tangata ni ki hono fale kuo fakatonuhia ia, ka ʻikai pehē ʻae tokotaha: he ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne hiki hake ia, ʻe fakavaivaiʻi ia; pea ko ia ʻoku ne fakavaivaiʻi ia, ʻe hiki hake ia.”
