Fakatatau kia Mātiu
9 Ko ia ʻi heʻene heka ki he vaká, naʻá ne fononga ki he kauvai ʻe tahá ʻo ne ʻalu ai ki hono kolo ʻoʻoná.+ 2 Pea vakai, naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ha tangata mamatea ʻokú ne tokoto ʻi ha meʻa-fata. ʻI heʻene vakai ki heʻenau tuí, naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ki he tangata mamateá: “Tama, loto-toʻa! Kuo fakamolemoleʻi hoʻo ngaahi angahalá.”+ 3 Pea naʻe fepehēʻaki ʻe he kau sikalaipe ʻe niʻihi: “Ko e tamá ni ʻoku lea fieʻotua.” 4 ʻI he ʻiloʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa ʻenau fakakaukaú, naʻá ne pehē: “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fakakaukau ai ki he ngaahi meʻa fulikivanú ʻi homou lotó?+ 5 Ko eni, ko fē ʻoku faingofua angé, ko e pehē, ‘Kuo fakamolemoleʻi hoʻo ngaahi angahalá,’ pe ko e pehē, ‘Tuʻu hake peá ke ʻalu’?+ 6 Kae kehe, koeʻuhí ke mou ʻilo ʻoku maʻu ʻe he Foha ʻo e tangatá ʻa e mafai ʻi he māmaní ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻa e angahalá—” naʻá ne pehē ange leva ki he tangata mamateá: “Tuʻu hake, toʻo ho meʻa-fatá, peá ke ʻalu ki ho ʻapí.”+ 7 Pea naʻá ne tuʻu hake ʻo ne ʻalu ki hono ʻapí. 8 ʻI he vakai ʻa e fuʻu kakaí ki he meʻá ni, naʻa nau manavahē, pea nau fakalāngilangiʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻa ia kuó ne foaki ha mafai pehē ki ha tangata.
9 Pea ʻi he mavahe ʻa Sīsū mei aí, naʻá ne fakatokangaʻi atu ha tangata ko hono hingoá ko Mātiu ʻoku tangutu ʻi he ʻōfisi tukuhaú, peá ne pehē kiate ia: “Haʻu ʻo muimui ʻiate au.” Ko ia naʻá ne tuʻu hake ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.+ 10 Ki mui ai ʻi heʻene kai* ʻi he falé, vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻa e tokolahi ʻo e kau tānaki tukuhaú mo e kau angahalá ʻo kamata ke nau kai* mo Sīsū mo ʻene kau ākongá.+ 11 Ka ʻi heʻenau sio ki he meʻá ni, naʻe pehē ʻe he kau Fālesí ki heʻene kau ākongá: “Ko e hā ʻoku kai fakataha ai hoʻomou faiakó mo e kau tānaki tukuhaú mo e kau angahalá?”+ 12 ʻI heʻene fanongo kiate kinautolú, naʻá ne pehē: “Ko e kakai ʻoku moʻui leleí ʻoku ʻikai fiemaʻu ki ai ha toketā, ka ʻoku fiemaʻu ia ki he faʻahinga ʻoku puké.+ 13 Ko ia, mou ʻalu ʻo ako ke ʻilo ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e meʻá ni: ‘ʻOku ou fiemaʻu ʻa e mēsí, ʻo ʻikai ko e feilaulaú.’+ He naʻá ku haʻú ke ui, ʻo ʻikai ko e kakai māʻoniʻoní, ka ko e kau angahalá.”
14 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa e kau ākonga ʻa Sioné kiate ia ʻo nau ʻeke: “Ko e hā ʻoku mau faʻa ʻaukai ai kimautolu mo e kau Fālesí kae ʻikai ke ʻaukai ʻa hoʻo kau ākonga ia ʻaʻaú?”+ 15 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū kiate kinautolu: “Ko e ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ʻo e tangata malí ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻuhinga ke nau fakamamahi ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e ʻiate kinautolu ʻa e tangata malí,+ ʻikai ko ia? Ka ʻe hoko mai ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho ʻa ia ʻe ʻave ai meiate kinautolu ʻa e tangata malí,+ pea te nau toki ʻaukai leva. 16 ʻOku ʻikai ha taha te ne monosi ʻaki ha konga tupenu foʻou ha kofu tuʻa ʻoku motuʻa, he ʻe mingi ʻa e konga tupenu foʻoú mei he kofú pea ʻe hoko ai ʻa e mahaé ʻo toe lahi ange.+ 17 Pea ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻutu ʻe he kakaí ʻa e uaine foʻoú ʻi ha ngaahi hina kiliʻimanu motuʻa. Kapau te nau fai pehē, ʻe pā leva ʻa e ngaahi hina kiliʻimanú pea haʻu ki tuʻa ʻa e uainé pea maumau ai ʻa e ngaahi hina kiliʻimanú. Ka ʻoku ʻutu ʻe he kakaí ʻa e uaine foʻoú ʻi ha ngaahi hina kiliʻimanu foʻou, pea ʻokú na fakatou tolonga leva.”
18 Lolotonga ʻene tala kiate kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni, vakai, naʻe fakaofiofi mai ha tokotaha pule ʻo ne fai ha fakaʻapaʻapa* kiate ia, peá ne pehē: “Kuo pau pē kuo mate hoku ʻofefiné he taimí ni, ka ke haʻu muʻa ʻo hilifaki ho nimá kiate ia, pea te ne moʻui.”+
19 Naʻe tuʻu hake leva ʻa Sīsū, pea naʻe muimui ʻa ʻene kau ākongá ʻiate ia. 20 Pea vakai, ko ha fefine kuo faingataʻaʻia ʻi he ʻau totó ʻi he taʻu ʻe 12+ naʻá ne fakaofiofi mai mei mui ʻo ne ala ki he tapa ʻo hono kofu tuʻá,+ 21 he naʻá ne toutou pehē pē ʻiate ia: “Kapau pē te u ala ki hono kofu tuʻá, te u sai.” 22 Naʻe tafoki hake ʻa Sīsū pea ʻi heʻene fakatokangaʻi iá, naʻá ne pehē: “ʻOfefine, loto-toʻa! Kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tuí.”+ Pea ʻi he houa pē ko iá naʻe sai ʻa e fefiné.+
23 ʻI heʻene haʻu leva ki he fale ʻo e tokotaha pulé ʻo ne fakatokangaʻi atu ʻa e kau ifi fulutá mo e fuʻu kakaí ʻoku nau vālautuʻú,+ 24 naʻe pehē atu ʻe Sīsū: “Mou mavahe mei heni, he naʻe ʻikai ke mate ʻa e kiʻi taʻahiné ka ʻokú ne mohe.”+ ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe kamata ke nau kata manuki kiate ia. 25 ʻI he hili pē hono fekauʻi atu ki tuʻa ʻa e fuʻu kakaí, naʻá ne hū atu ʻo puke hono nimá,+ pea naʻe mālanga hake ʻa e kiʻi taʻahiné.+ 26 Ko e moʻoni, ko e talanoa fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni naʻe mafola atu ia ki he kotoa ʻo e feituʻu ko iá.
27 ʻI he mavahe atu ʻa Sīsū mei aí, naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ha ongo tangata kui,+ ʻo na kalanga: “ʻAloʻofa* mai kiate kimaua, Foha ʻo Tēvita.” 28 Hili ʻene hū atu ki he falé, naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻa e ongo tangata kuí, pea ʻeke ange ʻe Sīsū kiate kinaua: “ʻOkú mo tui ʻe malava ke u fai ʻa e meʻá ni?”+ Naʻá na tali ange: “ʻIo, ʻEiki.” 29 Naʻá ne ala leva ki hona matá,+ ʻo ne pehē: “Tuku ke hoko kiate kimoua ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻomo tuí.” 30 Pea naʻe ʻā leva hona matá. ʻIkai ko ia pē, naʻe mātuʻaki fakatokanga ʻa Sīsū kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē: “Tokanga ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo eni ʻe ha taha.”+ 31 Ka ʻi he hili ʻena hū atu ki tuʻá, naʻá na talanoa holo ʻo kau kiate ia ʻi he kotoa ʻo e feituʻu ko iá.
32 ʻI heʻena mavahé, vakai, naʻe ʻomi ʻe he kakaí kiate ia ha tangata noa naʻe uluisino ai ha tēmeniō;+ 33 pea ʻi he hili hono kapusi ʻo e tēmenioó, naʻe lea ʻa e tangata noá.+ Naʻe ofoofo ai ʻa e fuʻu kakaí ʻo nau pehē: “Kuo teʻeki ai ʻaupito ke mātā ha meʻa peheni ʻi ʻIsileli.”+ 34 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he kau Fālesí: “Ko e pule ia ʻo e fanga tēmenioó ʻoku fai ai ʻa ʻene kapusi tēmenioó.”+
35 Pea naʻe ʻalu takai holo ʻa Sīsū ʻi he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi kolo lalahí mo e fanga kiʻi kolo īkí, ʻo faiako ʻi honau ngaahi sinakoké mo malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo lelei ʻo e Puleʻangá mo fakamoʻui ʻa e ngaahi mahaki kotoa pē mo e faingataʻaʻia kotoa pē.+ 36 ʻI he vakai atu ki he fuʻu kakaí, naʻá ne ongoʻi fakaʻofaʻia ʻiate kinautolu,+ koeʻuhí ne ngaohikovia kinautolu* mo liʻekina ʻo hangē ha fanga sipi taʻeʻiai hanau tauhí.+ 37 Naʻá ne pehē leva ki heʻene kau ākongá: “ʻIo, ko e utu-taʻú ʻoku lahi, ka ʻoku tokosiʻi ʻa e kau ngāué.+ 38 Ko ia ai, mou kōlenga ki he ʻEiki ʻo e utu-taʻú ke ne fekau atu ha kau ngāue ki heʻene utu-taʻú.”+
