Maʻake 8:6-26

⁶Pea fekau ʻe ia ki he kakai ke nau nofo ki lalo ki he kelekele; pea ne toʻo ʻae foʻi mā ʻe fitu, ʻo ne fakafetaʻi, mo tofitofi, pea ʻange ki heʻene kau ākonga ke tufaki; pea naʻa nau tufaki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai.

⁷Pea naʻa nau maʻu mo e ngaahi ika iiki: pea ne ne tāpuaki, mo fekau ke tufaki foki ia.

⁸Pea naʻa nau kai, ʻo mākona: pea nau tānaki ʻae toenga kai ko e kato ʻe fitu.

⁹Pea ko kinautolu naʻe kai, ko e toko fā afe nai: pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ke nau ʻalu.

¹⁰Pea heka vaka leva ia mo ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo haʻu ki he potu ʻo Talamanutā.

¹¹Pea ʻalu ange ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻo kamata fakafehuʻi kiate ia, mo kumi ʻiate ia ha fakaʻilonga mei he langi, ko hono ʻahiʻahiʻi.

¹²Pea mafulu lahi ia ʻi hono laumālie, mo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku kumi ai ʻe he toʻutangata ni ha fakaʻilonga? Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai tuku ha fakaʻilonga ki he toʻutangata ni.”

¹³Pea ʻalu ia ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo toe heka vaka, mo ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha.

¹⁴Pea kuo ngaloʻi he kau ākonga ke ʻave ha mā, pea ko e foʻi mā pe taha naʻe ʻi he vaka mo kinautolu.

¹⁵Pea naʻa ne naʻinaʻi kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Tokanga, pea vakai telia ʻae meʻa fakatupu ʻae kau Fālesi, pea mo e meʻa fakatupu ʻa Helota.”

¹⁶Pea fealēleaʻaki ai ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻetau taʻeʻomi ha mā.”

¹⁷Pea kuo ʻilo ia ʻe Sisu, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou alea ai, ʻi he ʻikai haʻamou mā? ʻOku teʻeki ai te mou mamata, pe ʻilo? ʻOku kei fefeka homou loto?

¹⁸‌ʻOku mou mata, kae ʻikai te mou mamata? Pea telinga, kae ʻikai ongoʻi? Pea ʻoku ʻikai te mou manatu?

¹⁹‌ʻI heʻeku tofitofi ʻae foʻi mā ʻe nima ki he toko nima afe, naʻe fiha ʻae kato naʻe pito ʻi he toenga ne mou ʻave?” Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “E hongofulu ma ua.”

²⁰“Pea ko e fitu ki he toko fā afe, naʻe fiha ʻae kato naʻe pito ʻi he toenga ne mou ʻave?” Pea nau pehē, “ʻE fitu.”

²¹Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā nai ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou ʻilo?”

²²Pea haʻu ia ki Petesaita: pea naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tangata kui, ʻonau kole kiate ia ke ne ala ki ai.

²³Pea puke ʻe ia ʻae nima ʻoe tangata kui, ʻo tataki ia kituʻa mei he potu kakai; pea kuo ne ʻaʻanu ki hono mata, mo ʻai hono nima kiate ia, pea ne fehuʻi kiate ia, pe ʻoku ne mamata ki ha meʻa.

²⁴Pea hanga hake ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou mamata ki he kakai ʻoku hangē ko e ngaahi ʻakau, ʻoku ʻeveʻeva.”

²⁵Pea hili ia, pea ne toe ʻai hono nima ki hono mata, pea fekau kiate ia ke ne hanga hake: pea naʻe moʻui ia, ʻo ne mamata totonu ki he kakai kotoa pē.

²⁶Pea ne fekau ia ki hono fale, mo ne pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke ʻalu ki he potu kakai, pe tala ia ki ha taha ʻi he potu kakai.”
