Luke 3:4-14

⁴‌ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e leʻo ʻoe tokotaha ʻoku kalanga ʻi he toafa, ‘Mou teuteu ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, pea fakatonutonu hono ʻaluʻanga.

⁵‌ʻE tanu ʻae luo kotoa pē, ʻE holoki hifo ʻae moʻunga mo e tafungofunga kotoa pē; Pea ʻe fakatotonu ʻae pikopiko, Pea ʻe fakatokalelei ʻae ngaahi hala ʻoku tokatāmaki;

⁶Pea ʻe mamata ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he fakamoʻui ʻae ʻOtua.’”

⁷Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki he kakai kuo ʻalu ange ke nau papitaiso ʻiate ia, “ʻAe fānau ʻae ngata fekai, Ko hai ne ne valoki ʻakimoutolu ke mou puna mei he houhau ʻe haʻu?

⁸Ko ia mou fakahā ʻae ngaahi fua ʻoku ngali mo e fakatomala, pea ʻoua naʻa lau leva ʻi homou loto, ‘ʻOku mau tamai ʻaki ʻa ʻEpalahame:’ he ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku faʻa fai ʻe he ʻOtua ke fakatupu ʻi he ngaahi maka ni ʻae fānau kia ʻEpalahame.

⁹Pea ko eni foki, kuo tuku ʻae toki ki he tefito ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau: pea ko ia, ka ʻilonga ʻae ʻakau ʻoku ʻikai tupu ai ʻae fua lelei ʻe tā hifo ia, ʻo laku ki he afi.”

¹⁰Pea fehuʻi ʻae kakai kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā nai te mau fai?”

¹¹Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻae kofutuʻa ʻe ua, ke ne foaki kiate ia ʻoku ʻikai maʻu; pea ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻae meʻa kai, ke fai pehē foki.”

¹²Pea haʻu foki ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau ke papitaiso, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ko e hā te mau fai?”

¹³Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa mou maʻu ʻo lahi ʻi he meʻa kuo tuʻutuʻuni maʻamoutolu.”

¹⁴Pea fehuʻi foki ʻe he kau tau kiate ia, ʻo pehē; “Pea ko e hā te mau fai?” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa fai fakamālohi ki ha taha, pea ʻoua naʻa lohiakiʻi; pea mou fiemālie ʻi hoʻomou totongi.”
