Ngāue 12:7-9

⁷Pea vakai, kuo ʻiate ia ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki, pea malama ʻi he fale fakapōpula ʻae maama: pea ne taaʻi ʻa Pita ʻi he vakavaka, mo ne fokotuʻu ia, ʻo pehē, “Tuʻu ke vave.” Pea naʻe homo ʻae ukamea fihifihi ʻi hono nima.

⁸Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo kiate ia, “Nonoʻo ho kofu, pea fakamaʻu mo ho topuvaʻe.” Pea ne fai ia. Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻAi ho kofu, pea ke muimui kiate au.

⁹Pea naʻa ne ʻalu kituaʻā, ʻo muimui ʻiate ia; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo pe ko e moʻoni ʻaia kuo fai ʻe he ʻāngelo; ka naʻe mahalo ʻe ia ko e meʻa hā mai ʻoku ne mamata ai.
