< Mātiu 22 >
1 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo toe pehēange kiate kinautolu ʻi he fakatātā;
2 “ʻOku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tuʻi ʻe tokotaha, ʻaia naʻe fai ʻae kātoanga ʻi he taʻane ʻa hono foha,
3 ʻO ne fekau atu ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ke ui ʻakinautolu naʻe tala ki ai ʻae taʻane: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fie haʻu.
4 Pea toe fekau atu ʻe ia ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki kehe, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Fakahā kiate kinautolu naʻe tala [ki ai], “Vakai, kuo ʻosi ʻeku teu ʻae kai: kuo tāmateʻi ʻeku fanga pulu mo e fanga manu sino, pea kuo ʻosi hono teu ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē: haʻu ki he taʻane.”’
5 Ka naʻa nau fakavaʻivaʻinga [ʻaki ia], ʻo [taki taha ]ʻalu, ko e taha ki heʻene ngoue, ko e taha ki heʻene meʻa fakatau:
6 Pea puke ʻo ngaohikoviʻi mo tāmateʻi, ʻe he niʻihi, ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
7 Ka kuo fanongo ki ai ʻae tuʻi, pea houhau: ʻo ne fekau atu ʻene ngaahi kongakau, ke fakaʻauha ʻae kau fakapō ko ia, pea tutu ʻenau kolo,
8 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ‘Kuo ʻosi hono teu ʻae kātoanga taʻane, ka ko kinautolu kuo tala ki ai, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga.
9 Ko ia mou ʻalu ki he ngaahi hala motuʻa, pea ko kinautolu te mou ʻilo, fakahā ki ai ʻae taʻane.’
10 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ko ia ki he ngaahi hala [motuʻa], ʻo fakakātoa kotoa pē naʻa nau ʻilo, ʻae kovi mo e lelei: pea tokolahi ai ʻae kakai ʻi he taʻane.
11 “Pea ʻi he haʻu ʻae tuʻi ke mamata ki he kakai, naʻa ne ʻiloʻi ʻae tangata kuo ʻikai ʻi ai ha kofu taʻane.
12 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, ‘Kāinga, naʻe fēfeeʻi hoʻo hū mai ki heni ʻoku ʻikai hao kofu taʻane?’ Pea fakalongo pē ia.
13 Pea toki pehē ʻe he tuʻi ki he kau tamaioʻeiki, ‘Haʻi hono vaʻe mo e nima pea ʻave, ʻo lī ia ki he poʻuli ʻi tuaʻā: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.’
14 “He ʻoku ui ʻae tokolahi, ka ʻoku fili ʻae tokosiʻi.”
15 Pea toki ʻalu ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻonau fakakaukau pe fēfeeʻi ʻenau femioekina ia ʻi he alea.
16 Pea nau fekau kiate ia ʻenau kau ākonga mo e kau Helotiane, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻoku ke moʻoni koe, pea ʻoku ke ako moʻoni ʻaki ʻae hala ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke tokanga ki ha tangata: he ʻoku ʻikai te ke filifilimānako ki he tangata.
17 Ko ia ke ke tala mai kiate kimautolu, Ko e hā ho loto? ʻOku ngofua ke ʻoatu ʻae tukuhau kia Sisa, pe ʻikai?”
18 Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe Sisu ʻenau angakovi, pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAe kau mālualoi, ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻahiʻahiʻi ai au?
19 Fakahā mai ʻae paʻanga tukuhau.” Pea naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tenali.
20 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e mata eni mo e tohi ʻa hai?”
21 Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “ʻA Sisa.” Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ʻoange kia Sisa ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻa Sisa; pea ʻoange ki he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua.”
22 Pea kuo nau fanongo ki ai, naʻa nau ofo, ʻo tuku ia, ka nau ʻalu.
23 Pea haʻu kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae kau Sātusi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē, ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu, ʻonau fehuʻi kiate ia,
24 ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, Kapau ʻe mate ha tangata, kae ʻikai haʻane fānau, ʻe fakamaʻu hono tokoua mo hono uaifi, ʻo fakatupu ʻae hako ki hono tokoua.
25 Pea ko eni, naʻe ʻiate kimautolu ʻae kāinga ʻe toko fitu; ko e ʻuluaki naʻe fakamaʻu mo e uaifi, pea mate ia, kuo ʻikai haʻane fānau, pea tuku hono uaifi ki hono tokoua.
26 Pea pehē pe foki hono toko ua, mo hono toko tolu, ʻo hoko ki hono toko fitu.
27 Pea mate fakamui ʻae fefine.
28 Pea ko ia ʻi he toetuʻu ʻe hoko ia ko e uaifi ʻo hai ʻi he toko fitu? He naʻe maʻu ia ʻekinautolu kotoa pē.”
29 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou hē, ʻi he taʻeʻilo ki he ngaahi tohi, mo e mālohi ʻae ʻOtua.
30 Koeʻuhi ʻi he toetuʻu ʻe ʻikai te nau mali, pe foaki ke mali, ka ʻe tatau mo e kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he langi.
31 Ka koeʻuhi ko e toetuʻu ʻoe mate, ʻoku teʻeki te mou lau ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē,
32 ‘Ko au ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻAisake, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope?’ ʻOku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ʻoe mate ʻae ʻOtua, ka ko e moʻui.”
33 Pea kuo fanongo ʻae kakai, naʻa nau ofo ʻi heʻene akonaki.
34 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kau Fālesi kuo ne fakalongo ʻae kau Sātusi, naʻe fakataha leva ʻakinautolu.
35 Pea fehuʻi ʻahiʻahi kiate ia ʻe honau tokotaha, ko e akonaki ʻi he fono, ʻo pehē,
36 “ʻEiki, ko e fekau fē ʻi he fono ʻoku lahi?”
37 Pea tala ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “‘Ke ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho laumālie kotoa, mo hoʻo moʻui kotoa, mo ho loto kotoa.’
38 Ko e ʻuluaki pea ko e lahi ia ʻoe fekau.
39 Pea ko hono ua ʻoku tatau mo ia, Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko koe.’
40 Ko e fekau ni ʻe ua ʻoku tautau ai ʻae fono kotoa mo e kau palōfita.”
41 Pea ʻi he kei fakataha ʻae kau Fālesi, naʻe fehuʻi ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu,
42 ʻO pehē, “Ko e hā homou loto ki he Kalaisi? Ko e foha ia ʻo hai?” Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “ʻO Tevita.”
43 Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku fēfē ai hono ui ia ʻe Tevita ʻi he Laumālie, ‘ʻEiki,’ ʻi heʻene pehē,
44 ‘Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova ki hoku ʻEiki, Nofo koe ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu, kaeʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe”’?
45 Pea kapau ʻoku ui ia ʻe Tevita, ‘ʻEiki,’ pea ko hono foha fēfeeʻi ia?”
46 Pea naʻe ʻikai ha lea ʻe faʻa lea ʻaki ʻe ha tangata kiate ia; talu mei he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa fehuʻi ʻe ha taha kiate ia.
