Ngāue 27:24-39

²⁴‌ʻO ne pehē mai, ‘ʻE Paula, ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē; he te ke aʻu atu koe ki he ʻao ʻo Sisa:

²⁵Ko ia ʻae kau matāpule, ke mou fiemālie: he ʻoku ou tui ki he ʻOtua, ʻe fai ʻo hangē ko e meʻa kuo tala mai.”

²⁶Ka ʻe tūkia ʻakitautolu ʻi ha motu ʻe taha.

²⁷Pea kuo kakato ʻae pō ʻe hongofulu ma fā, pea kuo mau hafu fano ʻi he tahi ʻo ʻAtilia, pea tuʻuapō nai, pea mahalo ʻae kau vaka kuo nau ofi ki ha fonua;

²⁸Pea naʻa nau tukutuku, pea ʻilo ko e ofa ʻe uangokumi: pea kuo nau ngaholo siʻi atu, pea toe tukutuku, pea ʻilo ko e ofa ʻe tekumi mā nima.

²⁹Pea naʻa nau manavahē telia naʻa mau toka ʻi ha hakau, pea nau lī ʻae taula ʻe fā ʻi he taumuli, mo nau fakaʻamu ki he ʻaho.

³⁰Pea naʻe fai ke feholaki ʻae kau kauvaka mei he vaka, he naʻa nau tuku hifo ʻae vaka fokotuʻu ki tahi, ʻo hangē ko haʻanau fie ʻave taula ki he taumuʻa;

³¹Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Paula ki he ʻeikitau mo e kau tau, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai nofo ʻakinautolu ni ʻi he vaka, ʻe ʻikai te mou moʻui.”

³²Pea naʻe toki tutuʻu ʻe he kau tau ʻae maea ʻoe vaka fokotuʻu, pea ʻauhia ia.

³³Pea kuo ofi ʻae ʻaho, pea kole ʻa Paula kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ke nau kai, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hono hongofulu ma fā eni ʻoe ʻaho mo hoʻomou nofo, ʻo taʻefai-hoʻomou-keinanga.

³⁴Pea ko ia ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu ke mou kai; ke mālohi ai homou sino: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tō ʻi he ʻulu ʻo homou tokotaha ha tuʻoni louʻulu ʻe taha.”

³⁵Pea kuo pehē ʻene lea, pea ne toʻo ʻae mā, ʻo fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē: pea kuo ne pakiʻi ia, pea ne kamata kai.

³⁶Pea naʻa nau toki fiefia kotoa pē, pea kai foki ʻekinautolu.

³⁷Pea naʻa mau toko uangeau mo e toko fitungofulu ma toko ono ʻi he vaka.

³⁸Pea hili ʻenau fakamaʻamaʻa ʻae vaka, ʻo tolo ʻae uite ki tahi.

³⁹Pea ʻi heʻene ʻaho, naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae fonua: ka naʻa nau vakai ki he ava naʻe ai hono fanga, pea naʻa nau holi ʻo kapau ʻe mafai, ke fakaʻoho ai ʻae vaka.
