Fakatatau kia Mātiu
12 ʻI he taimi ko iá naʻe fononga atu ʻa Sīsū ʻi he ngaahi ngoueʻanga uité ʻi he Sāpaté.* Naʻe fiekaia ʻa ʻene kau ākongá pea kamata ke nau paki ʻa e uité ʻo kai.+ 2 ʻI he vakai ki he meʻá ni, naʻe pehē ʻe he kau Fālesí kiate ia: “Vakai! ʻOku fai ʻe hoʻo kau ākongá ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke fai ʻi he Sāpaté.”+ 3 Naʻá ne pehē kiate kinautolu: “Kuo teʻeki ai koā ke mou lau ʻa e meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Tēvita ʻi he taimi naʻá ne fiekaia ai mo e kau tangata naʻe ʻiate iá?+ 4 ʻA ʻene hū ki he fale ʻo e ʻOtuá pea nau kai ʻa e ngaahi foʻi mā foakí,+ ko e meʻa naʻe ʻikai ngofua ke ne kai pe ko e faʻahinga naʻe ʻiate iá, ka ko e kau taulaʻeikí pē?+ 5 Pe kuo teʻeki koā ke mou lau ʻi he Laó, ʻi he ngaahi Sāpaté, ko e kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he temipalé ʻoku nau maumau Sāpate ka ʻoku nau kei taʻehalaia pē?+ 6 Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻi ai ha meʻa ʻoku lahi ange ʻi he temipalé ʻoku ʻi heni.+ 7 Kae kehe, kapau naʻa mou mahinoʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e meʻá ni, ‘ʻOku ou fiemaʻu ʻa e mēsí+ ʻo ʻikai ko e feilaulau,’+ ne mei ʻikai te mou fakahalaiaʻi ʻa e faʻahinga taʻehalaiá. 8 He ko e Foha ʻo e tangatá ʻa e ʻEiki ʻo e Sāpaté.”+
9 Hili ʻene mavahe mei he feituʻu ko iá, naʻá ne hū ki honau sinakoké, 10 pea vakai, tā naʻe ʻi ai ha tangata nima mate!*+ Ko ia naʻa nau ʻeke ange kiate ia, “ʻOku ngofua koā ke fai ha fakamoʻui ʻi he Sāpaté?” Koeʻuhí ke nau tukuakiʻi ai ia.+ 11 Naʻá ne pehē kiate kinautolu: “Kapau ʻoku ʻi ai haʻamou sipi ʻe taha pea tō ʻa e sipi ko iá ki ha luo ʻi he Sāpaté, ʻe ʻi ai ha tangata ʻiate kimoutolu ʻe ʻikai te ne puke ia ʻo ʻohake?+ 12 Huanoa hake ai ʻa e mahuʻinga ange ʻa e tangatá ʻi ha sipi! Ko ia ʻoku ngofua ke fai ha meʻa lelei ʻi he Sāpaté.” 13 Naʻá ne pehē ange leva ki he tangatá: “Mafao mai ho nimá.” Pea naʻá ne mafao atu ia, pea naʻe moʻui ia ʻo hangē ko e nima ʻe tahá. 14 Ka naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa e kau Fālesí ʻo nau faʻufaʻu ke tāmateʻi ia. 15 ʻI heʻene ʻiloʻi ʻení, naʻe mavahe ʻa Sīsū mei ai. Naʻe muimui foki ʻa e tokolahi ʻiate ia,+ pea naʻá ne fakamoʻui kotoa kinautolu, 16 ka naʻá ne mātuʻaki fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua te nau ʻai ke ʻiloʻi ia,+ 17 koeʻuhí ke fakahoko ai ʻa e meʻa naʻe folofolaʻaki fakafou ʻia ʻAisea ko e palōfitá, ʻa ia naʻá ne pehē:
18 “Vakai! Ko ʻeku sevāniti+ ē naʻá ku filí, ʻa e tokotaha ʻoku ou ʻofa aí, ʻa ia kuó u hōifua aí!+ Te u ʻai kiate ia hoku laumālié,+ pea ko e fakamaau totonú te ne ʻai ke mahino ki he ngaahi puleʻangá. 19 Heʻikai te ne fakakikihi+ pe kaikaila, pe ongona ʻe ha taha hono leʻó ʻi he ngaahi hala lalahí. 20 Heʻikai te ne laiki ha kaho ʻoku mapelu, pea heʻikai te ne tāmateʻi ha vavae maama ʻoku tamatemate,+ kae ʻoua kuó ne ʻai ke ikuna ʻa e fakamaau totonú. 21 Ko e moʻoni, ko hono huafá ʻe ʻamanaki ki ai ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá.”+
22 Naʻa nau ʻomai leva kiate ia ha tangata naʻe uluisino ai ha tēmeniō ʻa ia naʻe kui mo noa, pea naʻá ne fakamoʻui ia, ko ia naʻe lava ai ʻo lea ʻa e tangata noá mo sio. 23 Ko ia ai, naʻe fakatumutumu ʻa e fuʻu kakaí kotoa ʻo nau kamata ke pehē: “ʻIkai nai ko e Foha ʻo Tēvitá eni?” 24 ʻI he fanongo ki he meʻá ni, naʻe pehē ʻe he kau Fālesí: “Ko e tamá ni ʻoku ʻikai te ne kapusi ʻa e fanga tēmenioó ʻo taʻefakafou ʻia Pelisipupe,* ko e pule ʻo e fanga tēmenioó.”+ 25 ʻI he ʻiloʻi ʻenau fakakaukaú, naʻá ne pehē kiate kinautolu: “Ko e puleʻanga kotoa ʻoku māvahevahe ʻiate ia peé ʻe hoko ʻo ʻauha, pea ko e kolo pe fale kotoa ʻoku māvahevahe ʻiate ia peé ʻe ʻikai tuʻu. 26 ʻI he founga tatau, kapau ʻoku kapusi ʻe Sētane ʻa Sētane, kuó ne hoko ʻo māvahevahe ʻiate ia pē; ʻe tuʻu fēfē leva ʻa hono puleʻangá? 27 Pehē foki, kapau ʻoku ou kapusi ʻa e fanga tēmenioó ʻo fakafou ʻia Pelisipupe, ko hai ʻoku fakafou ai ʻa hono kapusi kinautolu ʻe homou ngaahi fohá? Ko e ʻuhinga eni te nau hoko ai ko homou kau fakamāú. 28 Ka ʻo kapau ʻoku fakafou ʻi he laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻa ʻeku kapusi ʻa e fanga tēmenioó, tā kuo aʻu moʻoni mai ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá kiate kimoutolu.+ 29 Pe ʻe lava fēfē ʻe ha taha ke ne ʻohofi ʻa e fale ʻo ha tangata mālohi ʻo ne faʻao ʻa ʻene koloá kae ʻoua kuó ne tomuʻa haʻi ʻa e tangata mālohí? Ko e toki taimi pē ia ʻe lava ke ne kaihaʻa ai mei hono falé. 30 ʻIlonga ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai kau mo aú ʻokú ne fakafetau kiate au, pea ʻilonga ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai kau mo au ʻi he fai ʻo e fakatahatahaʻí ʻokú ne fakamovetevete.+
31 “ʻI he ʻuhingá ni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ko e angahala mo e laukovi kotoa pē ʻa e tangatá ʻe fakamolemoleʻi, ka ko e laukovi ki he laumālié ʻe ʻikai ke fakamolemoleʻi.+ 32 Ko e fakatātaá, ʻilonga ha taha ʻoku laukovi ki he Foha ʻo e tangatá, ʻe fakamolemoleʻi ia;+ ka ʻilonga ha taha ʻoku laukovi ki he laumālie māʻoniʻoní, ʻe ʻikai ke fakamolemoleʻi ia, ʻikai ʻi he fokotuʻutuʻu ko ení* pe ʻi he fokotuʻutuʻu ka hoko maí.+
33 “Ka hala pē hoʻomou ʻai ʻa e ʻakaú ke lelei mo lelei hono fuá, ko hoʻomou ʻai ke kovi ʻa e ʻakaú mo kovi hono fuá, he ʻoku ʻiloʻi ʻa e ʻakaú ʻi hono fuá.+ 34 ʻA e hako ʻo e fanga ngata huhu kona,+ ʻe lava fēfē ke mou leaʻaki ha ngaahi meʻa lelei lolotonga ia ʻoku mou fulikivanu? He ʻoku mei he meʻa ʻoku hulu ʻi he lotó ʻa e meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he ngutú.+ 35 ʻOku ʻomi ʻe ha tangata lelei ha meʻa ʻoku lelei mei he ngaahi meʻa lelei kuó ne tuku tauhí. ʻOku ʻomi ʻe ha tangata kovi ha meʻa ʻoku kovi mei he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku kovi kuó ne tuku tauhí.+ 36 ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu ʻe fai ʻe he kakaí ha fakamatala+ ʻi he ʻAho Fakamāú ki he lea ʻikai siaʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nau leaʻakí; 37 he ʻi hoʻo ngaahi leá ʻe lau ai ʻokú ke māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻi hoʻo ngaahi leá ʻe fakahalaiaʻi ai koe.”
38 ʻI he tali leva kiate iá, naʻe pehē ʻe he niʻihi ʻo e kau sikalaipé mo e kau Fālesí: “Faiako, ʻoku mau fie sio ki ha fakaʻilonga meiate koe.”+ 39 ʻI he tali ki aí, naʻá ne pehē kiate kinautolu: “Ko ha toʻutangata fulikivanu mo tono* ʻoku hanganaki kumi ki ha fakaʻilonga, ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fakaʻilonga ʻe ʻoange ki ai tuku kehe pē ʻa e fakaʻilonga ʻo Siona ko e palōfitá.+ 40 He hangē tofu pē ko e ʻi he kete ʻo e fuʻu iká ʻa Siona ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu mo e pō ʻe tolú,+ ʻe pehē pē ʻa e ʻi lolofonua ʻa e Foha ʻo e tangatá ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu mo e pō ʻe tolu.+ 41 Ko e kakai ʻo Ninivé te nau tuʻu hake ʻi he fakamāú mo e toʻutangatá ni pea te nau fakahalaiaʻi ia, he naʻa nau fakatomala ʻi he meʻa naʻe malangaʻaki ʻe Sioná.+ Kae vakai, ʻoku ʻi ai ha meʻa ʻoku lahi ange ia ʻia Siona ʻoku ʻi heni.+ 42 Ko e kuini ʻo e tongá ʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻi he fakamāú mo e toʻutangatá ni pea te ne fakahalaiaʻi ia, he naʻá ne haʻu mei he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo e māmaní ke fanongo ki he poto ʻo Solomoné.+ Kae vakai, ʻoku ʻi ai ha meʻa ʻoku lahi ange ia ʻia Solomone ʻoku ʻi heni.+
43 “ʻI he hū atu ha laumālie ʻuli mei ha tangata, ʻokú ne fou atu ʻi ha ngaahi potu ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha vai ko e kumi ki ha mālōlōʻanga kae ʻikai ke maʻu.+ 44 Peá ne pehē, ‘Te u foki ki hoku fale ʻa ia naʻá ku hiki mei aí,’ pea ʻi heʻene aʻu ki aí, ʻokú ne ʻilo ai tā ko e falé ʻoku ʻikai nofoʻi ka kuo ʻosi tafi ʻo maʻa mo teuteuʻi. 45 ʻOkú ne ʻalu leva ʻo ne ʻomi mo ha toe ngaahi laumālie kehe ʻe toko fitu ʻoku fulikivanu ange ʻiate ia, pea ʻi he hili ʻenau hū ki lotó, ʻoku nau nofo ai; pea ko e ngaahi tuʻunga leva ki mui ʻo e tangata ko iá ʻe kovi ange ia ʻi he ʻuluakí.+ ʻE pehē pē foki mo e toʻutangata fulikivanu ko ení.”
46 Lolotonga ʻene kei lea ki he fuʻu kakaí, naʻe tuʻu ʻi tuʻa ʻa ʻene faʻeé mo hono fanga tokouá+ ko e fie lea kiate ia.+ 47 Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe ha taha kiate ia: “Vakai!
