12 Pea naʻe hā ha fuʻu meʻa fakaofo ʻi hēvani: Ko ha fefine+ naʻá ne kofuʻaki* ʻa e laʻaá, pea naʻe ʻi hono lalo vaʻé ʻa e māhiná, pea naʻe ʻi hono ʻulú ha kalauni naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e foʻi fetuʻu ʻe 12, 2 pea naʻá ne feitama. Pea naʻá ne kalanga ʻi heʻene langā mo ʻene mamahi ʻi he teu ke ne fāʻelé.
3 Naʻe toe hā ha meʻa fakaofo ʻe taha ʻi hēvani. Vakai! Ko ha fuʻu talākoni lanu kulokula mālohi,+ ʻoku ʻulu fitu mo meʻatui ʻe hongofulu pea ʻoku ʻi hono ngaahi foʻi ʻulú ʻa e kalauni ʻe fitu; 4 pea ʻokú ne tohoʻaki hono hikú ʻa e vahe tolu ʻe taha ʻo e ngaahi fetuʻu+ ʻo e langí, pea naʻá ne lī hifo kinautolu ki he māmaní.+ Pea naʻe tuʻu pē ʻa e talākoní ʻi he ʻao ʻo e fefine+ naʻe teu ke fāʻelé, koeʻuhí ke ne keina ʻene tamá ʻi he taimi ʻe fāʻeleʻi aí.
5 Pea naʻá ne fāʻeleʻi ha tama,+ ko ha tama tangata, ʻa ia te ne puleʻi ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá kotoa ʻaki ha tokotoko ukamea.+ Pea naʻe hamusi atu* ʻene tamá ki he ʻOtuá pea ki hono taloní. 6 Pea naʻe hola ʻa e fefiné ki he toafá, ʻa ia naʻe ʻi ai hano feituʻu kuo teuteu ʻe he ʻOtuá pea te nau fafanga ai ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe 1,260.+
7 Pea naʻe hoko ha tau ʻi hēvani: Ko Maikeli*+ mo ʻene kau ʻāngeló naʻa nau faitau mo e talākoní, pea naʻe faitau ʻa e talākoní mo ʻene kau ʻāngeló mo kinautolu 8 ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ikuna,* pea naʻe ʻikai toe ʻi ai ha feituʻu moʻonautolu ʻi hēvani. 9 Ko ia naʻe lī hifo ʻa e fuʻu talākoní,+ ʻa e ngata ʻo onoʻahó,+ ʻa e tokotaha ʻoku ui ko e Tēvoló+ mo Sētané,+ ʻa ia ʻokú ne takihalaʻi ʻa e kotoa ʻo e māmani kuo nofoʻí;+ naʻe lī hifo ia ki he māmaní,+ pea naʻe lī fakataha hifo mo ia ʻene kau ʻāngeló. 10 Naʻá ku fanongo ki ha fuʻu leʻo ʻi hēvani ʻoku pehē:
“Ko eni kuo hoko moʻoni ʻa e fakamoʻuí+ mo e mālohí mo e Puleʻanga ʻa hotau ʻOtuá+ pea mo e mafai ʻo ʻene Kalaisí, koeʻuhí ko e tokotaha ʻokú ne tukuakiʻi hotau fanga tokouá kuo lī hifo ia, ʻa e tokotaha ʻokú ne tukuakiʻi kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ʻi he ʻao ʻo hotau ʻOtuá!+ 11 Pea naʻa nau ikunaʻi ia+ koeʻuhi ko e taʻataʻa ʻo e Lamí+ pea koeʻuhi ko e pōpoaki ʻo e fakamoʻoni naʻa nau faí,+ pea naʻe ʻikai te nau manavasiʻi ki ha mole ʻenau moʻuí+ naʻa mo e ʻi he fehangahangai mo e maté. 12 ʻI he meʻá ni, fiefia ʻa kimoutolu ʻa e ngaahi langí pea mo kimoutolu ʻoku nofo aí! ʻOiauē ʻa e māmaní pea mo e tahí,+ koeʻuhi kuo ʻalu hifo ʻa e Tēvoló kiate kimoua, ʻokú ne ʻita lahi, ʻi heʻene ʻiloʻi ʻoku toe siʻi pē hono taimí.”+
13 ʻI he vakai leva ʻa e talākoní kuo lī hifo ia ki he māmaní,+ naʻá ne fakatangaʻi ʻa e fefine+ naʻá ne fāʻeleʻi ʻa e tama tangatá. 14 Ka naʻe ʻoange ha ongo kapakau ʻo ha fuʻu ʻīkale+ ki he fefiné, koeʻuhi ke ne lava ʻo puna ki he toafá ki hono feituʻú, ʻa e feituʻu ʻe fafanga ai ia ʻi ha kuonga, mo ha kuonga ʻe ua, mo e vaeuaʻi kuonga*+ ʻo mamaʻo mei he ngatá.+
15 Pea naʻe puʻaki atu ʻe he ngatá ha vai hangē ha vaitafé mei hono ngutú ke tuli atu ki he fefiné, ke ʻai ia ke ne melemo ʻi he vaitafé. 16 Ka naʻe tokoni ʻa e māmaní ki he fefiné, pea naʻe fakaava hake ʻe he māmaní hono ngutú ʻo ne folofua ʻa e vaitafe naʻe puʻaki atu ʻe he talākoní mei hono ngutú. 17 Ko ia naʻe ʻita lahi ʻa e talākoní ki he fefiné peá ne ʻalu atu ke faitau mo e toenga ʻo e hako ʻo e fefiné,+ ʻa ia ʻoku nau tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá pea ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e ngāue ko e faifakamoʻoni fekauʻaki mo Sīsū.+
