Luke 8:12-19

¹²Ko kinautolu eni ʻi he veʻe hala, ʻoku nau fanongo; pea toki haʻu ʻae tēvolo, ʻo ne toʻo atu ʻae folofola ʻi honau loto, telia naʻa nau tui pea moʻui ai.

¹³Ko kinautolu eni ʻi he maka, ʻaia ʻoku fanongo, pea maʻu ʻae folofola ʻi he fiefia; ka ʻoku ʻikai hanau aka, pea ʻoku nau tui fuoloa siʻi pe, pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻahiʻahi ʻoku nau hinga ai.

¹⁴Pea ko ia naʻe mokulu ki he ʻakau talatala, ko kinautolu eni ʻoku fanongo pea ʻalu atu, ka ko e tokanga mamahi mo e koloa mo e fiefia ʻi māmani, ʻoku kāsia ai ia, pea ʻe ʻikai ai ha fua ke haohaoa.

¹⁵Ka ko ia ʻoku ʻi he kelekele moʻui, ko kinautolu eni ʻoku nau fanongo ki he folofola, ʻo maʻu ia ki he loto totonu mo lelei, pea fakatupu ʻae fua ʻi he fakakukafi.

¹⁶“ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata te ne tutu ʻae maama, ke fakapulonga ʻaki ʻae ipu, pe tuku ia ki he lalo mohenga; kae fokotuʻu ia ki ha tuʻunga, koeʻuhi ke mamata ki he maama ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻi ai.

¹⁷He ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku lilo, ʻe taʻefakahā; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku fufū, ʻe taʻeʻiloa pe taʻemafola kituʻa.

¹⁸Ko ia mou tokanga ki hoʻomou fanongo: he ko ia ʻoku maʻu, ʻe foaki kiate ia pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu, ʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ne mahalo kuo ne maʻu.”

¹⁹Pea haʻu ai kiate ia ʻa ʻene faʻē mo hono kāinga, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ofi kiate ia, ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai.
