Sione 3:7-21

⁷‌ʻOua te ke ofo ʻi heʻeku tala kiate koe, ʻOku totonu ke mou fanauʻi foʻou.

⁸‌ʻOku maʻili ʻae matangi ko hono faʻiteliha pe, pea ʻoku ke fanongo ki hono mumuhu ʻo ia, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo pe ʻoku haʻu mei fē, pe ʻalu ki fē ia: ʻoku pehē pe ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku fanauʻi ʻi he Laumālie.”

⁹Pea leaange ʻa Nikotimasi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku fēfē nai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?”

¹⁰Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “He ko e akonaki koe ʻi ʻIsileli, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻiloa ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?

¹¹Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate koe, ʻOku mau lea ʻaki ʻaia ʻoku mau ʻilo, ʻo fakapapau ʻaia kuo mau mamata; ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou maʻu ʻemau fakamoʻoni.

¹²Kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui ʻi heʻeku tala kiate kimoutolu ʻae meʻa ʻoe māmani, ʻe fēfē hoʻomou tui, ʻo kapau teu tala kiate kimoutolu ʻae meʻa ʻoe langi?

¹³Pea ʻoku teʻeki ai ʻalu hake ha tangata ki he langi, ka ko ia pe naʻe ʻalu hifo mei he langi, ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he langi.”

¹⁴Pea hangē naʻe hiki hake ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngata ʻi he toafa, ʻe pehē hono hiki ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki ʻolunga:

¹⁵Koeʻuhi ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku tui kiate ia ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha ia, kae maʻu ʻae moʻui taʻengata.

¹⁶He naʻe ʻofa pehē ʻae ʻOtua ki māmani, naʻa ne foaki hono ʻAlo pe taha naʻe fakatupu, koeʻuhi ko ia kotoa pē ʻe tui kiate ia ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha, kae maʻu ʻae moʻui taʻengata.

¹⁷He naʻe ʻikai fekau ʻe he ʻOtua hono ʻAlo ki māmani ke fakamalaʻia ʻa māmani: ka koeʻuhi ke moʻui ʻa māmani ʻiate ia.

¹⁸Ko ia ʻoku tui kiate ia, ʻoku ʻikai fakamalaʻia ia: ka ko ia ʻoku ʻikai tui, ʻoku fakamalaʻia ni ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai tui ia ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻAlo pe taha naʻe tupu ʻi he ʻOtua.

¹⁹Pea ko e malaʻiaʻanga eni, koeʻuhi kuo haʻu ʻae maama ki māmani, pea ʻofa lahi ʻae kakai ki he poʻuli ʻi he maama, koeʻuhi ʻoku kovi ʻenau ngaahi ngāue.

²⁰He ko ia fulipē ʻoku fai kovi ʻoku fehiʻa ki he maama, pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻu ia ki he maama, telia naʻa fakahā ai ʻene ngaahi ngāue.

²¹Ka ko ia ʻoku fai ki he moʻoni, ʻoku haʻu ia ki he maama, koeʻuhi ke fakahā ai ʻene ngaahi ngāue, ʻoku fai ia ʻi he ʻOtua.
