Luke 9:38-49

³⁸Pea vakai, naʻe kalanga mai ʻae tangata ʻi he kakai, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke vakai ki hoku foha: he ko ʻeku tamasiʻi tokotaha pe ia.

³⁹Pea vakai, ʻoku puke ia ʻe he laumālie, pea fokifā ʻoku tangi kalanga ia; pea ʻoku ne haeʻi ke koā ai ia, pea ʻoku ne haʻaki ia, pea ʻalu ai ʻi he taʻefieʻalu.”

⁴⁰Pea ne u kole ki hoʻo kau ākonga ke kapusi ia; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai.

⁴¹Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange, “ʻAe toʻutangata taʻetui mo angakovi, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo ʻetau nonofo, mo ʻeku kātaki ʻakimoutolu? ʻOmi ho foha ki heni.”

⁴²Pea ʻi heʻene haʻu, naʻe haʻaki ia ʻe he tēvolo, mo haeʻi. Pea naʻe tautea ʻe Sisu ʻae laumālie ʻuli, mo fakamoʻui ʻae tamasiʻi, ʻo toe ʻatu ia ki heʻene tamai.

⁴³Pea naʻa nau ofo kotoa pē ʻi he māfimafi lahi ʻoe ʻOtua. Ka ʻi heʻenau ofo kotoa pē ʻi he meʻa fulipē naʻe fai ʻe Sisu, pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga,

⁴⁴“Tuku ke ongo ki ho ʻoʻou telinga ʻae ngaahi lea ko eni: ʻe tukuange ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he nima ʻoe kakai.”

⁴⁵Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae lea ni, pea naʻe fufū ia meiate kinautolu, pea ʻikai ai te nau ʻilo ia: pea naʻa nau manavahē ke fehuʻi kiate ia ʻi he lea ko ia.

⁴⁶Pea naʻe tupu ʻiate kinautolu ʻae fakakikihi, pe ko hai ʻe lahi ʻiate kinautolu.

⁴⁷Pea ʻiloʻi ʻe Sisu ʻae mahalo ʻa honau loto, pea toʻo mai ʻe ia ʻae tamasiʻi, ʻo tuku ia ke ofi kiate ia,

⁴⁸‌ʻO ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ia ʻe maʻu ʻae tamasiʻi ni ʻi hoku huafa, ʻoku ne maʻu au; pea ko ia ia ʻoku ne maʻu au, ʻoku ne maʻu ʻaia naʻa ne fekau au: he ko ia ʻoku siʻi ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, ko ia ia ʻe lahi.”

⁴⁹Pea lea ʻa Sione, ʻo pehēange, “ʻEiki, naʻa mau mamata ki ha taha ʻoku kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻi ho huafa; pea naʻa mau taʻofi ia, he ʻoku ʻikai ke muimui ia mo kimautolu.”
