Luke 23:18-33

¹⁸Pea naʻa nau kalanga fakataha kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻAve ʻae tangata ni, kae tuku mai ʻa Palāpasa kiate kimautolu:”

¹⁹(ʻAia naʻe lī ki he fale fakapōpula, koeʻuhi koʻene fakaaoao ʻi he kolo, mo e fakapō.)

²⁰Ka naʻe loto ʻa Pailato ke tukuange ʻa Sisu, ko ia ne ne toe lea ai kiate kinautolu.

²¹Ka naʻa nau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Tutuki ki he ʻakau, tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.”

²²Pea lea ia kiate kinautolu ko hono tuʻo tolu, “Koeʻumaʻā, ko e hā ha kovi kuo ne fai? ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha meʻa ke mate ai ia: ko ia te u tautea ia, pea tukuange.”

²³Ka naʻe mālohi ʻenau lea pea longoaʻa lahi, ʻonau pehē, “Ke tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.” Pea naʻe mālohi ʻae leʻo ʻokinautolu mo e kau taulaʻeiki lahi.

²⁴Pea fekau ʻe Pailato ke fai ʻo hangē ko honau loto.

²⁵Pea ne tukuange kiate kinautolu ia naʻa nau holi ki ai, ʻaia naʻe lī ki he fale fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ko e fakaaoao mo e fakapō; ka ne tukuange ʻa Sisu ki honau loto.

²⁶Pea ʻi heʻenau kei taki atu ia, naʻa nau puke ʻae tokotaha ko Saimone, ko e Sailini, ʻoku haʻu mei he tukuʻuta, pea naʻa nau hili kiate ia ʻae ʻakau, ke ne fua ʻo muimui ia Sisu.

²⁷Pea naʻe muimui kiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi, mo e kau fefine, ʻonau tangi mo tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko ia.

²⁸Ka naʻe tafoki ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAe ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema, ʻOua naʻa mou tangi koeʻuhi ko au, kae tangi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, pea mo hoʻomou fānau.

²⁹Vakai, he ʻoku ofi mai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho te nau pehē ai, ‘ʻOku monūʻia ʻae paʻa, pea mo e manāva naʻe ʻikai fānau, mo e huhū naʻe ʻikai fakahuhūʻaki.’

³⁰Pea te nau toki kamata lea ai ki he ngaahi moʻunga, “Holo mai kiate kimautolu:” pea ki he ngaahi tafungofunga, “Uʻufi ʻakimautolu.”’

³¹He kapau te nau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ki he ʻakau mata, ko e hā ʻe fai ki he mōmoa?”

³²Pea naʻe tataki mo ia foki ʻae ongo fai kovi ʻe toko ua ke tāmateʻi.

³³Pea kuo nau hoko ki he potu ʻoku ui ko Kalivali, naʻa nau tuki ia ʻi ai ki he ʻakau, mo e ongo fai kovi, ko e tokotaha ki he nima toʻomataʻu, mo e tokotaha ki he nima toʻohema.
