Fakatatau kia Mātiu
3 ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko iá naʻe haʻu ʻa Sione+ Papitaiso ʻo malanga+ ʻi he toafa ʻo Siuteá, 2 ʻo pehē: “Mou fakatomala, he kuo ofi ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo hēvaní.”+ 3 Ko hono moʻoní, ko e tokotaha eni naʻe leaʻaki fekauʻaki mo ia ʻe he palōfita ko ʻAiseá+ ʻi he ngaahi leá ni: “ʻOku ʻi ai ha leʻo ʻo ha taha ʻoku kalanga ʻi he toafá: ‘Mou teuteu ʻa e ʻalunga ʻo Sihová!* ʻAi ʻa hono ngaahi halá ke hangatonu.’”+ 4 Pea ko Sioné naʻe kofu fulufuluʻikāmeli pea leta kiliʻimanu ʻi hono kongalotó.+ Ko ʻene meʻakaí ko e heʻe mo e hone ʻo e vaó.+ 5 Pea ko e kakai ʻo Selusalemá mo Siutea kātoa pea mo e ngaahi feituʻu takatakai kotoa ʻi Sioataní naʻa nau ʻaukolo atu kiate ia,+ 6 pea naʻá ne papitaiso* kinautolu ʻi he Vaitafe Sioataní,+ pea naʻa nau vete fakahāhā ʻenau ngaahi angahalá.
7 ʻI heʻene vakai atu ki he tokolahi ʻo e kau Fālesí mo e kau Sātusí+ ʻoku nau haʻu ki he papitaisó, naʻá ne pehē kiate kinautolu: “ʻA e hako ʻo e fanga ngata huhu kona,+ ko hai ia naʻe fakatokanga atu kiate kimoutolu ke mou hola mei he houhau ʻoku tuʻunuku maí?+ 8 Ko ia ai, mou fua ʻo taau mo e fakatomalá. 9 ʻOua naʻa mou pehē ʻi homou lotó, ‘Ko ʻemau tamaí ko ʻĒpalahame.’+ He ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku malava ʻe he ʻOtuá ke fokotuʻu hake mei he ngaahi maká ni ha fānau maʻa ʻĒpalahame. 10 Kuo ʻosi fokotuʻu ʻa e tokí ki he tefito ʻo e ʻuluʻakaú. Ko ia, ko e fuʻu ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai ke fua leleí ʻe tā ia ʻo laku ki he afí.+ 11 Ko au, ʻi heʻeku tafaʻakí, ʻoku ou papitaiso kimoutolu ʻaki ʻa e vaí koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou fakatomalá,+ ka ko e tokotaha ʻoku hoko mai ʻiate aú ʻoku mālohi ange ia ʻiate au, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai te u taau ke vete ʻa hono senitoló.+ Ko e tokotaha ko iá te ne papitaiso kimoutolu ʻaki ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní,+ pea ʻaki ʻa e afi.+ 12 Ko ʻene sāvolo ʻauʻau uité ʻoku ʻi hono nimá, pea te ne fakamaʻa ʻosi ʻa ʻene ʻauʻauʻanga uité pea te ne tānaki ʻa ʻene uité ki he feleokó,* ka ko e kafukafú te ne tutu ia ʻi he afi+ ʻa ia ʻe ʻikai lava ke tāmateʻi.”
13 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Sīsū mei Kāleli ki Sioatani ke papitaiso ia ʻe Sione.+ 14 Ka naʻe feinga ʻa Sione ke taʻofi ia, ʻo ne pehē: “Ko au ia ʻoku fiemaʻu ke ke hanga ʻo papitaisó, ka ʻokú ke haʻu koe kiate au?” 15 Naʻe tali ange ʻe Sīsū kiate ia: “ʻI he taimi ko ení, tuku pē ke hoko ia, he ʻi he foungá ni ʻoku taau mo kitaua ke fakahoko kotoa ʻa ia ʻoku totonú.” Naʻe ʻikai leva te ne kei taʻofi ia. 16 ʻI he hili hono papitaisó, naʻe mālanga hake leva ʻa Sīsū mei he vaí; pea vakai, naʻe fakaava hifo ʻa e langí,+ peá ne mamata ki he laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻalu hifo kiate ia ʻo hangē ha lupé.+ 17 Vakai! Naʻe ʻi ai mo ha leʻo mei he langí+ naʻe pehē mai: “Ko hoku ʻAló eni,+ ʻa e ʻofeiná, ʻa ia kuó u hōifua aí.”+
