Ka naʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne puke ia, he naʻe teʻeki ai ke hoko mai ʻa hono houá.+

21 Ko ia naʻá ne toe pehē kiate kinautolu: “ʻOku ou teu ʻalu, pea te mou kumi kiate au, pea neongo ia te mou mate ʻi hoʻomou angahalá.+ Ko e feituʻu ʻoku ou ʻalu ki aí, heʻikai malava ke mou haʻu ki ai.”+ 22 Pea naʻe kamata ke pehē ʻe he kau Siú: “Te ne hanga pē koā ʻe ia ʻo tāmateʻi ia? Koeʻuhi ʻokú ne pehē, ‘Ko e feituʻu ʻoku ou ʻalu ki aí, heʻikai malava ke mou haʻu ki ai.’” 23 Naʻá ne hoko atu ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu: “Ko kimoutolú ia mei lalo; ko aú ia mei ʻolunga.+ Ko kimoutolú ia mei he māmani ko ení; ko au ia ʻoku ʻikai te u mei he māmani ko ení. 24 Ko e ʻuhinga ia naʻá ku pehē ai kiate kimoutolu: Te mou mate ʻi hoʻomou angahalá. He kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui ko au ʻa e tokotaha ʻe haʻú, te mou mate ʻi hoʻomou angahalá.” 25 Ko ia naʻe kamata ke nau pehē kiate ia: “Ko hai koe?” Naʻe tali ange ʻe Sīsū kiate kinautolu: “Ko e hā koā ʻoku ou kei lea atu ai kiate kimoutolú? 26 ʻOku lahi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ke u lea ai ʻo fekauʻaki mo kimoutolú pea mo faifakamaau aí. Ko hono moʻoní, ko e Tokotaha naʻá ne fekau mai aú ʻoku moʻoni, pea ko e ngaahi meʻa tofu pē ko ia naʻá ku fanongo ai meiate iá ʻoku ou leaʻaki ia ʻi he māmaní.”+ 27 Naʻe ʻikai te nau mahinoʻi naʻá ne lea kiate kinautolú ʻo fekauʻaki mo e Tamaí. 28 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Sīsū: “ʻI he hili hoʻomou hiki hake ʻa e Foha ʻo e tangatá,+ te mou toki ʻilo ai ko au ia+ pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa te u fai ʻiate au pē;+ ka ko e meʻa kuo akoʻi kiate au ʻe he Tamaí ko e meʻa ia ʻoku ou leaʻakí. 29 Pea ko e Tokotaha naʻá ne fekau mai aú ʻokú ne kau mo au; naʻe ʻikai te ne siʻaki au ke u toko taha, koeʻuhi ʻoku ou fai maʻu pē ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fakahōifua kiate iá.”+ 30 ʻI heʻene leaʻaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ko ení, naʻe tui ʻa e tokolahi kiate ia.

31 Pea naʻe hoko atu ʻa Sīsū ʻo ne pehē ki he kau Siu naʻe tui kiate iá: “Kapau te mou nofo maʻu ʻi heʻeku leá, ko e moʻoni ko e kau ākonga kimoutolu ʻaʻaku, 32 pea te mou ʻilo ʻa e moʻoní,+ pea ʻe fakatauʻatāinaʻi kimoutolu ʻe he moʻoní.”+ 33 Naʻa nau tali ange kiate ia: “Ko e hako kimautolu ʻo ʻĒpalahame pea kuo teʻeki ai ʻaupito te mau hoko ko e kau pōpula ki ha taha. ʻOku anga-fēfē leva hoʻo pehē, ‘Te mou hoko ʻo tauʻatāina’?” 34 Naʻe tali ange ʻe Sīsū kiate kinautolu: “ʻOku ou mātuʻaki tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ko e tokotaha faiangahala kotoa pē ko ha pōpula ia ʻa e angahalá.+ 35 ʻIkai ko ia pē, ko e pōpulá ʻoku ʻikai ke ne nofo maʻu ai pē ʻi he fale ʻo hono ʻeikí ʻo taʻengata; ko e fohá ʻokú ne nofo maʻu ai pē ʻo taʻengata. 36 Ko ia kapau ʻoku fakatauʻatāinaʻi kimoutolu ʻe he Fohá, te mou tauʻatāina moʻoni. 37 ʻOku ou ʻilo ko e hako kimoutolu ʻo ʻĒpalahame. Ka ʻoku mou feinga ke tāmateʻi au, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha ola ʻo ʻeku ngaahi leá ʻiate kimoutolu. 38 ʻOku ou leaʻaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kuó u mamata ai lolotonga ʻa ʻeku ʻi heʻeku Tamaí,+ ka ʻoku mou fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kuo mou fanongo ai mei hoʻomou tamaí.” 39 ʻI he tali ki aí, naʻa nau pehē kiate ia: “Ko ʻemau tamaí ko ʻĒpalahame.” Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Sīsū kiate kinautolu: “Kapau ko e fānau kimoutolu ʻa ʻĒpalahame,+ naʻa mou fai ʻa e ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻĒpalahamé. 40 Ka ko eni ʻoku mou feinga ke tāmateʻi au, ko ha tangata kuó ne tala atu kiate kimoutolu ʻa e moʻoni naʻá ku fanongo ai mei he ʻOtuá.+ Ko ʻĒpalahame naʻe ʻikai te ne fai ha meʻa pehē. 41 ʻOku mou fai ʻa e ngaahi ngāue ʻa hoʻomou tamaí.” Naʻa nau pehē kiate ia: “Naʻe ʻikai fanauʻi kimautolu ʻi he ʻulungaanga taʻetaau;* ʻoku taha pē ʻemau Tamaí, ko e ʻOtuá.”

42 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Sīsū kiate kinautolu: “Ka ne ko hoʻomou Tamaí ʻa e ʻOtuá, te mou ʻofa ʻiate au,+ he naʻá ku haʻu mei he ʻOtuá pea ʻoku ou ʻi heni. Kuo ʻikai te u haʻu ʻiate au pē, ka ko e Tokotaha ko iá naʻá ne fekau mai aú.+ 43 Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai te mou mahinoʻi ai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ou leaʻakí? Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai lava ke mou fanongo ki heʻeku leá. 44 ʻOku mou tupu mei hoʻomou tamai ko e Tēvoló, pea ʻoku mou loto ke fai ʻa e ngaahi holi ʻa hoʻomou tamaí.+ Ko e tokotaha ko iá ko ha tokotaha fakapō ia ʻi heʻene kamata ʻi hono ʻalungá,*+ pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuʻu maʻu ʻi he moʻoní, koeʻuhí ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻa e moʻoní. ʻI he taimi ʻokú ne leaʻaki ai ʻa e loí, ʻokú ne lea pē ʻo fakatatau ki hono anga ʻoʻoná, koeʻuhí ko ha tokotaha loi ia pea ko e tamai ia ʻa e loí.+ 45 ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, koeʻuhi ko ʻeku tala atu ʻa e moʻoní, ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui mai ai kiate au. 46 Ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻokú ne fakahalaiaʻi au ki ha angahala?
