Sione 1:12-24

¹²Ka ko ia kotoa pē naʻe maʻu ia, naʻa ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae monūʻia ke hoko ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua, kiate kinautolu pe naʻe tui ki hono huafa:

¹³‌ʻAia naʻe ʻikai fanauʻi ʻi he toto, pe ʻi he loto ʻoe kakano, pe ʻi he loto ʻoe tangata, ka ʻi he ʻOtua.

¹⁴Pea naʻe hoko ʻae Folofola ko e kakano, pea nofo ia ʻiate kitautolu, (pea naʻa mau mamata ki hono nāunau, ko e nāunau ʻoe tokotaha naʻe tupu mei he Tamai,) ʻoku fonu ʻi he ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni.

¹⁵Naʻe fakamoʻoni ki ai ʻe Sione, ʻo kalanga, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko eni ia naʻaku lea ai, Ko ia ʻoku haʻu muimui ʻiate au, ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate au: he naʻe muʻa ia ʻiate au.’

¹⁶Pea kuo maʻu ʻekitautolu kotoa pē mei hono fonu, mo e ʻaloʻofa ki he ʻaloʻofa.

¹⁷He naʻe foaki ʻae fono ʻia Mōsese, ka ko e ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni naʻe haʻu ʻia Sisu Kalaisi.

¹⁸‌ʻOku ʻikai ha tokotaha kuo ne mamata ki he ʻOtua ʻi ha kuonga; ko e ʻAlo pē taha naʻe fakatupu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fatafata ʻoe Tamai, kuo ne fakahā ia.

¹⁹Pea ko e fakamoʻoni eni ʻa Sione, ʻi he fekau mai ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livaite mei Selūsalema, ke fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ko hai koe?”

²⁰Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe ia, ʻo ʻikai fakafisi; kae fakahā pe, ʻOku ʻikai ko e Kalaisi au.

²¹Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ka ko hai?” “Ko ʻIlaisiā koe?” Pea talaange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai.” “Ko koe ʻae palōfita ko ia?” Pea talaange ʻe ia, “ʻIkai.”

²²Ko ia naʻa nau pehē ai kiate ia, “Ko hai koe?” Koeʻuhi ke mau tala kiate kinautolu naʻe fekauʻi ʻakimautolu. “Ko e hā hoʻo lea kiate koe?”

²³Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au ‘ko e leʻo ʻoe tokotaha ʻoku kalanga ʻi he toafa, Fakatonutonu ʻae hala ʻoe ʻEiki,’” ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia.

²⁴Pea naʻe ʻoe kau Fālesi ʻakinautolu naʻe fekau.
