Ngāue 5:3-20

³Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Pita, “ʻAnanaia, ko e hā kuo fakapito ai ho loto ʻe Sētane, ke ke loi ki he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, pea ke taʻofi ʻae konga ʻi he totongi ʻoe fonua?

⁴Naʻe kei tuku pe, ʻikai naʻe ʻoʻou pe ia? Pea ka kuo fakatau ia, ʻikai te ke faʻiteliha pe ki ai? Ko e hā kuo tupu ai ʻae meʻa ni ʻi ho loto? ʻOku ʻikai ko hoʻo loi ki he tangata, ka ki he ʻOtua.”

⁵Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe ʻAnanaia ki he lea ni, naʻe tō ia ki lalo, ʻo mate: pea naʻe hoko ʻae manavahē lahi kiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.

⁶Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau talavou, ʻo fakakoloa ia, pea ʻave kituaʻā, ʻo tanu.

⁷Pea hili nai ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻe tolu, pea haʻu hono uaifi, kae teʻeki ʻilo ʻe ia ʻaia kuo fai.

⁸Pea pehē ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Tala mai, pe naʻa mo fakatau ʻae ʻapi ʻaki ʻae meʻa ni. Pea pehē ʻe ia, ʻIo, ʻaia pe.”

⁹Pea pehē ai ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Ko e hā kuo mo alea ai ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻEiki? Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he matapā ʻae vaʻe ʻokinautolu kuo nau toki tanu ho husepāniti, pea te nau fata koe kituaʻā.”

¹⁰Pea ʻiloange, naʻe tō ki lalo ia ki hono vaʻe, pea mate: pea hū mai ʻae kau talavou, ʻo ʻilo kuo mate ia, pea ʻave ia kituaʻā, ʻo tanu ia mo hono husepāniti.

¹¹Pea naʻe tō ʻae manavahē lahi ki he siasi kotoa pē, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.

¹²Pea naʻe fai ʻe he nima ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo ʻae ngaahi mana mo e meʻa fakaofo lahi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai; (pea naʻa nau fakataha kotoa pē ʻo loto taha ʻi he fale hala ʻo Solomone.

¹³Pea ʻi hono toe naʻe ʻikai kau mo kinautolu ha tokotaha, ko ʻenau manavahē: ka naʻe fakaʻapaʻapa ʻae kakai kiate kinautolu.

¹⁴Pea naʻe ului tokolahi ai ki he ʻEiki ʻae kakai tui, ko e tangata mo e fefine.)

¹⁵Ko ia naʻa nau fata ai ʻae ngaahi mahaki ki he ngaahi hala, ʻo fakatokoto ʻi he mohenga mo e tokotoʻanga, ke fakamalū honau niʻihi ʻaki ʻae ʻata ʻo Pita ʻi heʻene ʻalu ange.

¹⁶Pea naʻe haʻu foki ʻae tokolahi mei he ngaahi kolo ʻoku ofi ki Selūsalema, ke fetuku mai ʻae kakai mahaki, mo kinautolu naʻe mamahi ʻi he kau laumālie ʻuli: pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.

¹⁷Pea toki tutuʻu hake ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, (i he faʻahinga ʻoe Sātusi,) kuo nau fonu ʻi he ʻita,

¹⁸Pea naʻa nau puke ʻae kau ʻAposetolo, ʻo fakahū ʻakinautolu ki he fale fakapōpula lahi.

¹⁹Ka naʻe toʻo ʻae matapā ʻoe fale fakapōpula ʻe ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki ʻi he pō, pea ne ʻomi kituʻa ʻakinautolu, mo ne pehē,

²⁰“Mou ʻalu, ʻo tuʻu ʻi he falelotu lahi, pea malanga ki he kakai ʻaki ʻae lea kotoa pē ʻoe moʻui ni.”
