Sione 11:20-49

²⁰Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe Māʻata ʻoku haʻu ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne ʻalu ʻo fakafetaulaki kiate ia: ka naʻe nofo pe ʻa Mele ʻi he fale.

²¹Pea lea ai ʻa Māʻata kia Sisu, ʻEiki, ka ne ke ʻi heni, pehē, ne ʻikai mate hoku tuongaʻane.

²²Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻa eni, ko ia kotoa pē te ke kolea ki he ʻOtua, ʻe foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe.”

²³Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻE toetuʻu ho tuongaʻane.”

²⁴Pea tala ʻe Māʻata kiate ia, “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻe toetuʻu ia ʻi he toetuʻu ʻi he ʻaho fakamui.”

²⁵Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko au ko e toetuʻu, mo e moʻui: ko ia ʻoku tui kiate au, ka ne mate ia, ʻe moʻui pe ia:

²⁶Pea ko ia ʻoku moʻui mo tui kiate au, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mate ia. ʻOku ke tui ki ai?”

²⁷Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻIo, ʻEiki: ʻoku ou tui ko e Kalaisi ʻa koe, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe totonu ke haʻu ki māmani.”

²⁸Pea hili ʻene lea ko ia, naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo ne ui fakafufū hono tehina ko Mele, ʻo ne pehē, Kuo haʻu ʻae Akonaki, pea ʻoku fehuʻi kiate koe.”

²⁹Pea ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ia, naʻa ne tuʻu hake leva, ʻo haʻu kiate ia.

³⁰Pea kuo teʻeki hoko ʻa Sisu ki he kolo, ka naʻe ʻi he potu ko ia naʻe fakafetaulaki ai ʻa Māʻata kiate ia.

³¹Pea ko e kau Siu naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi he fale, ʻonau fakafiemālieʻi ia, ʻi heʻenau vakai ʻoku tuʻu fakavave ʻa Mele, ʻo ʻalu kituʻa, naʻa nau muimui ai, ʻonau pehē, ʻOku ʻalu ia ki he faʻitoka ke tangi ai.

³²Pea kuo ʻalu ange ʻa Mele ki he potu ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne mamata ki ai, pea tōmapeʻe ia ki hono vaʻe, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ka ne ke ʻi heni, pehē, ne ʻikai mate hoku tuongaʻane.”

³³Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu kiate ia ʻoku tangi, pea tangi foki mo e kakai Siu naʻe haʻu mo ia, pea toʻe ia ʻi he laumālie, pea mamahi ia,

³⁴‌ʻO ne pehē, “Kuo mou tuku ʻi fē ia? Pea nau tala kiate ia, ʻEiki, haʻu ʻo mamata.”

³⁵Pea tangi ʻa Sisu.

³⁶Pea lea ai ʻae kau Siu, “Vakai ki hono lahi ʻo ʻene ʻofa kiate ia.”

³⁷Pea lea ʻa honau niʻihi, “ʻIkai ʻe mafai ʻe he tangata ni, ʻoku ne fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe kui, ke taʻofi ke ʻoua naʻa mate ʻae tangata ni?”

³⁸Pea ko ia naʻe toʻetoʻe ʻa Sisu ʻi hono loto, pea ʻalu atu ki he tanuʻanga. Ko e ʻana ia pea naʻe tāpuni ʻaki ia ʻae maka.

³⁹Pea tala ʻe Sisu, “Mou toʻo ʻae maka.” Pea lea kiate ia ʻa Māʻata, ko e tuofefine ʻo ia kuo mate, ʻEiki, kuo namuhāhā: he ko hono ʻaho fā eni.

⁴⁰Pea lea ʻa Sisu kiate ia, “ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate koe, kapau te ke tui, te ke mamata ki he māfimafi ʻoe ʻOtua?”

⁴¹Pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻae maka mei he potu naʻe tuku ai ʻae mate. Pea hanga hake ʻae fofonga ʻo Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Tamai, ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kuo ke ongoʻi au.

⁴²Pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku ke ongoʻi maʻu aipē au: ka ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai ʻoku tutuʻu ni, ko ia kuo u lea ai, koeʻuhi ke nau tui naʻa ke fekau au.”

⁴³Pea hili ʻene lea pehē, pea lea leʻo lahi ia, “Lasalosi, tuʻu mai.”

⁴⁴Pea naʻe tuʻu mai ʻaia naʻe mate, kuo haʻihaʻi hono nima mo e vaʻe ʻaki ʻae kofu tanu: pea kuo nonoʻo ʻaki hono mata ʻae holoholo. Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Vevete, ʻo tukuange ia.”

⁴⁵Pea ko e tokolahi ʻoe kau Siu naʻe haʻu kia Mele, hili ʻenau mamata ki he ngāue naʻe fai ʻe Sisu, naʻa nau tui kiate ia.

⁴⁶Ka naʻe ʻalu honau niʻihi ki he kau Fālesi, ʻo tala kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo fai ʻe Sisu.

⁴⁷Pea fakataha ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau Fālesi ʻae kau fakamaau, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku tau fai? He ʻoku fai ʻe he tangata ni ʻae ngaahi mana lahi.

⁴⁸Kapau te tau tuku noa ai pe ia, ʻe tui kotoa pē kiate ia: pea ʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Loma, ʻo fakaʻauha hotau potu mo hotau puleʻanga.”

⁴⁹Pea ko honau tokotaha, ko Kaiafasi, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ia ʻi he taʻu ko ia, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ha meʻa,
