Luke 2:20-46

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.

²²Pea kuo hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻena fakamaʻa, ʻo fakatatau ki he fono ʻa Mōsese, naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema ke ʻatu ia ki he ʻEiki;

²³(ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻae ʻEiki, “Ko e tama kotoa pe, ʻae ʻolopoʻou, ʻe ui ia ko e tapu ki he ʻEiki;”)

²⁴Pea ke ʻatu ʻae feilaulau, ʻo fakatatau mo ia ʻoku fakahā mai ʻi he fono ʻae ʻEiki, “Ko e ongo kulukulu, pe ko e lupe mui ʻe ua.”

²⁵Pea vakai, naʻe ʻi Selūsalema ʻae tangata, ko Simione hono hingoa; pea naʻe angatonu ʻae tangata ko ia mo faʻa lotu, mo tatali ki he fiemālieʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.

²⁶Pea naʻe fakahā mai kiate ia ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻe ʻikai mate ia, kaeʻoua ke ne mamata ki he Kalaisi ʻae ʻEiki.

²⁷Pea haʻu ia ʻi he Laumālie ki he falelotu tatau ki hono anga ʻoe fono,

²⁸Naʻa ne toki toʻo hake ia ʻi hono nima, pea fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻo ne pehē,

²⁹“ʻE ʻEiki, ko eni, ʻoku ke tukuange ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke fononga ʻi he fiemālie, ʻO hangē ko hoʻo folofola:

³⁰He kuo mamata ʻa hoku mata ki hoʻo fakamoʻui,

³¹‌ʻAia kuo ke teuteu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē;

³²Ko e maama ke fakamaamaʻaki ʻae Senitaile, Mo e nāunau ʻo hoʻo kakai ko ʻIsileli.”

³³Pea ofo ʻa Siosefa mo ʻene faʻē ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe fakahā ʻiate ia.

³⁴Pea tāpuakiʻi ʻe Simione ʻakinaua, ʻo ne pehē ki heʻene faʻē ko Mele, “Vakai, kuo fokotuʻu ʻae tamasiʻi ni ko e tūkiaʻanga mo e toetuʻuʻanga ʻoe tokolahi ʻi ʻIsileli pea ko e fakaʻilonga ke lea kovi ki ai;

³⁵koeʻuhi ke hā ai ʻae ngaahi mahalo ʻoe loto ʻoe tokolahi: (ʻio, ʻe tui pea ʻasi ʻae heletā ʻi ho laumālie foki.”)

³⁶Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fefine palōfita ko ʻAna, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Fanueli, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo ʻAsa: naʻe lahi hono motuʻa, pea naʻa na nonofo mo hono husepāniti ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu talu ʻene tāupoʻou;

³⁷ka ka nofo ai pe ia ko e fefine ia kuo mate hono husepāniti, pea kuo valungofulu ma fā ʻae taʻu ʻo ʻene motuʻa, pea ne ʻikai mahuʻi ia mei he falelotu lahi, ka naʻa ne ngāue ʻi he ʻaukai mo e faʻa lotu he pō mo e ʻaho.

³⁸Pea ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻo feʻunga mo ia, naʻa ne ʻatu foki ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻEiki, ʻo ne fakahā ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe tatali ki he huhuʻi ʻi Selūsalema.

³⁹Pea hili ʻena fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki he fono ʻae ʻEiki, naʻa nau foki mai ki Kāleli, ki hona kolo ko Nāsaleti.

⁴⁰Pea tupu ʻae tamasiʻi, pea mālohi ʻi he laumālie, pea fonu ia ʻi he poto: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.

⁴¹Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻene mātuʻa ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē ki Selūsalema, ki he kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu.

⁴²Pea kuo hongofulu ma ua hono taʻu, pea nau ō hake ki Selūsalema, ʻo hangē ko hono anga ʻoe kātoanga.

⁴³Pea kuo nau fakaʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ka ʻi heʻenau liliu mai, naʻe nofo pe ʻae tama ko Sisu ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe Siosefa mo ʻene faʻē.

⁴⁴Ka naʻe mahalo ʻakinaua ʻoku ʻi he fononga ia, pea fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha; pea toki kumi ia ʻi hona kāinga mo e kau fononga.

⁴⁵Pea ʻi he ʻikai te na ʻilo ia, naʻa na foki atu ki Selūsalema, ko hono kumi.

⁴⁶Pea pehē, kuo hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu, pea na toki ʻilo ia ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻoku nofo ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe kau akonaki, ʻo fakafanongo kiate kinautolu, mo fakafehuʻi kiate kinautolu.
