Luke 2:19-29

¹⁹Ka naʻe faʻoa ʻe Mele ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ki hono loto, ʻo fifili ki ai.

²⁰Pea naʻe liu mai ʻae kau tauhi sipi, ʻo fakamālō mo fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kuo nau fanongo mo mamata ai, ʻo hangē ko ia ne fakahā kiate kinautolu.

²¹Pea ʻi heʻene kakato ʻae ʻaho ʻe valu naʻe kamu ʻae tama, pea ui hono huafa ko Sisu, ʻaia naʻe fakahingoa ʻe he ʻāngelo kae teʻeki tuituʻia ia ʻi he manāva.
