Sione 8:26-39

²⁶‌ʻOku lahi ʻae meʻa ke u tala mo valokiʻi ʻiate kimoutolu: ka ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ʻoku moʻoni ia; pea ʻoku ou fakahā ki māmani ʻae ngaahi meʻa ko ia kuo u fanongo ʻiate ia.

²⁷Naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ko ʻene lea kiate kinautolu ki he Tamai.

²⁸Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Hili hoʻomou hiki ki ʻolunga ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata, pea te mou toki ʻilo ‘ko au ia,’ pea mo ʻeku taʻefai-ha-meʻa ʻiate au pe; kae hangē hono akoʻi au ʻe heʻeku Tamai, ʻoku pehē ʻeku lea ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.

²⁹Pea ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ʻoku ʻiate au: ʻoku ʻikai siʻaki au ke tokotaha pe ʻe he Tamai; he ʻoku ou fai maʻuaipē ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku lelei ai ia.”

³⁰Pea ʻi heʻene leaʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni, naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi kiate ia.

³¹Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu ki he kau Siu naʻe tui kiate ia, “Kapau te mou nofomaʻu ʻi heʻeku lea, pea ko ʻeku kau ākonga moʻoni ʻakimoutolu;

³²Pea te mou ʻilo ʻae moʻoni, pea ʻe fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he moʻoni.”

³³Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi kiate ia, “Ko e hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻakimautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te mau pōpula ki ha taha: pea ʻoku fēfeeʻi ʻa hoʻo lau, ‘ʻE fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻakimoutolu?’”

³⁴Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku fai angahala, ko e pōpula ia ki he angahala.

³⁵Pea ʻoku ʻikai nofomaʻuaipē ʻi he fale ʻae pōpula: ka ʻoku nofomaʻuaipē ʻae ʻAlo.

³⁶Ko ia kapau ʻe fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻAlo, te mou tauʻatāina moʻoni.

³⁷‌ʻOku ou ʻilo ko e hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻakimoutolu; ka ʻoku mou kumi ke tāmateʻi au, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻi homou loto ʻa ʻeku akonaki.

³⁸‌ʻOku ou lea ʻaki ʻaia kuo u ʻiloʻi ʻi heʻeku Tamai: pea ʻoku mou fai ʻaia kuo mou ʻiloʻi ʻi hoʻomou tamai.”

³⁹Naʻa nau leaange, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko ʻemau tamai ʻa ʻEpalahame.” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ka ne ko e fānau ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻakimoutolu, pehē, te mou fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻEpalahame.
