Luke 7:17-38

¹⁷Pea naʻe mafola ʻa hono ongoongo ni ʻi Siutea kotoa pē, pea mo e potu fonua kotoa pē ko ia.

¹⁸Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe he kau ākonga ʻa Sione kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.

¹⁹Pea naʻe ui ʻe Sione kiate ia ʻae toko ua ʻo ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne fekau ʻakinaua kia Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko koe ia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu? Pe te mau ʻamanaki ki ha taha?”

²⁰Pea kuo haʻu ʻae ongo tangata kiate ia, ʻo na pehē, “Kuo fekau ʻakimaua kiate koe ʻe Sione ko e Papitaiso, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko koe ia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu? Pe te tau ʻamanaki ki ha taha?’”

²¹Pea ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia naʻa ne fakamoʻui ai ʻae tokolahi mei he ngaahi mahaki, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakamamahi, pea mo e kau laumālie kovi; pea naʻa ne fakaʻā ʻae tokolahi naʻe kui.

²²Pea toki lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinaua, “Mo ō, ʻo fakahā kia Sione ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo mo mamata mo fanongo ki ai: kuo ʻa ʻae kui, kuo ʻeveʻeva ʻae pipiki, kuo maʻa ʻae kilia, kuo ongo ʻae tuli, kuo fokotuʻu ʻae mate, pea ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ki he masiva.

²³Pea ʻoku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻe ʻikai tūkia ʻiate au.”

²⁴Pea kuo ʻalu ʻae ongo tangata fekau ʻa Sione, pea toki lea ia ki he kakai ʻia Sione, “Naʻa mou ʻalu atu ki he toafa ke mamata ki he hā? Ki ha kaho ʻoku luluʻi ʻe he matangi?

²⁵Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ki ha tangata kuo kofuʻaki ʻae kofu molū? Vakai, he ko kinautolu ʻoku kofu fakalaukau, mo kai lelei, ʻoku ʻi he fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.

²⁶Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ha palōfita? ʻIo, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu. ʻOku lahi hake ia ʻi he palōfita.

²⁷Ko ia ia kuo tohi ki ai, ʻo pehē, ‘Vakai, ʻoku ou fekau atu hoku fakamelomelo ke muʻomuʻa ʻi ho ʻao, Ke teuteu ʻe ia ho hala kiate koe.’

²⁸He ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku fanauʻi ʻe he fefine ʻoku ʻikai ha palōfita lahi hake ʻia Sione ko e Papitaiso: ka ko ia ʻoku siʻi taha pe ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate ia.”

²⁹Pea ko e kakai kotoa pē naʻe fanongo kiate ia, mo e kau tānaki tukuhau, naʻa nau fakahā ʻae angatonu ʻae ʻOtua, ʻi heʻenau papitaiso ʻi he papitaiso ʻa Sione.

³⁰Ka ko e kau Fālesi, mo e kau akonaki ʻi he fono, naʻa nau fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kinautolu, he naʻe ʻikai te nau papitaiso ʻiate ia.

³¹Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Te u fakatatau ki he hā ʻae kakai ʻoe toʻutangata ni? Pea ʻoku nau tatau mo e hā?

³²‌ʻOku nau tatau mo e tamaiki ʻoku nofo ʻi he potu fakatau, ʻoku nau feuiʻaki, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo mau ifi fangufangu kiate kimoutolu, Ka naʻe ʻikai te mou meʻe; Kuo mau hiva fakamamahi kiate kimoutolu, Ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tangi.’

³³He naʻe ʻikai haʻu ʻa Sione ko e Papitaiso ʻo kai mā mo inu uaine; pea ʻoku mou pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻiate ia ha tēvolo.’

³⁴Kuo haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻo kai mo inu; ka mou pehē, ‘Vakai, ko e tangata faʻa kai, mo faʻa inu uaine, ko e kāinga ʻoe kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala!’

³⁵Ka ʻoku fakatonuhia ʻae poto ʻe heʻene fānau kotoa pē.”

³⁶Pea naʻe kole kiate ia ʻae tokotaha ʻi he Fālesi ke na kai fakataha mo ia. Pea ne hū ki he fale ʻoe Fālesi, ʻo nofo ai ke kai.

³⁷Pea vakai, ko e fefine naʻe angahala ʻi he kolo, kuo ʻilo ʻe ia ʻoku nofo mo kai ʻa Sisu ʻi he fale ʻae Fālesi, pea ne ʻomi ʻae puha ʻalapasita ʻoe lolo.

³⁸Pea tuʻu ia ʻi hono vaʻe mei hono tuʻa, ʻo tangi, pea kamata fufulu ʻe ia hono vaʻe ʻaki hono loʻimata, ʻo ne holoholo ʻaki ia hono louʻulu, pea ʻuma ki hono vaʻe, ʻo tākai ʻaki ia ʻae lolo.
