Ko e Tohi Tapu Kātoa (Tongan)

Mat 9:14–17

14 Pea toki haʻu kiate ia ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku mau faʻa ʻaukai ai mo e kau Fālesi, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaukai ʻa hoʻo kau ākonga?”
15 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻE faʻa tangi ʻae kāinga ʻoe tangata taʻane, ʻoku kei ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane? Ka ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe ʻave ai ʻae tangata taʻane ʻiate kinautolu, pea te nau toki ʻaukai ai.
16 ‌ʻOku ʻikai ha taha te ne ʻai ha konga meʻa foʻou ki he kofu motuʻa, he ko ia ʻoku ʻai ke ʻoposi ʻaki ʻoku mafaufau ai ʻae kofu, pea ʻāsili ai hono mahaehae.
17 ‌ʻOku ʻikai foki ʻutu ʻe he kakai ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina motuʻa: ka pehē, ʻe mahaehae ʻae hina, pea tafe kituʻa ʻae uaine, pea maumau ʻae ngaahi hina: ka ʻoku nau ʻutu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina foʻou, pea tolonga ai pe fakatouʻosi.”

18 Pea naʻe faʻa ʻaukai ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione mo e ākonga ʻae kau Fālesi: pea nau haʻu ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku faʻa ʻaukai ai ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione pea mo e Fālesi, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaukai hoʻo kau ākonga?”
19 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “E faʻa ʻaukai ʻae kāinga ʻoe tangata taʻane, ʻi he kei ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane? E ʻikai te nau faʻa ʻaukai ʻi he lolotonga ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane.
20 Kae hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe ʻave ai ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane, pea ko e ngaahi ʻaho ko ia te nau toki ʻaukai ai.
21 “ʻOku ʻikai foki ha taha te ne ʻai ha konga meʻa foʻou ki he kofu motuʻa: he ko e konga foʻou ʻoku ʻai ke ʻoposi ʻaki, ʻe mafaufau ai ia pea ʻe ʻāsili ai hono mahaehae.
22 Pea ʻoku ʻikai utu ʻeha taha ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina ʻoku motuʻa; ka pehē ʻe haeʻi ʻe he uaine foʻou ʻae ngaahi hina, pea malingi ʻae uaine, pea maumau ʻae hina; ka ʻoku ʻutu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina foʻou.”

33 Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku faʻa ʻaukai mo lotu ai ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione, mo kinautolu foki ʻoe kau Fālesi; ka ʻoku kai mo inu ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻoʻou.”
34 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Te mou faʻa pule ke ʻaukai ʻae kāinga ʻoe tangata taʻane, ʻi he kei ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane?
35 Ka ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe ʻave ai ʻae tangata taʻane ʻiate kinautolu, pea ko e ngaahi ʻaho ko ia te nau toki ʻaukai ai.”
36 Pea lea ʻaki foki ʻe ia ʻae fakatātā kiate kinautolu; “ʻOku ʻikai ha taha te ne monomono ʻaki ʻae kofu motuʻa ha konga ʻoe kofu foʻou; ka pehē, ʻe hae ia ʻe he meʻa foʻou, kaeʻumaʻā ʻoku ʻikai fai tatau ʻae konga foʻou mo e motuʻa kofu.
37 Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne ʻutu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina ʻoku motuʻa; telia naʻa hae ʻe he uaine foʻou ʻae ngaahi hina, pea tafe, pea maumau ʻae ngaahi hina.
38 Kae ʻutu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina foʻou; pea tolonga ai fakatouʻosi.
39 ‌ʻOku ʻikai foki ha tangata kuo inu ʻi he uaine motuʻa pea fili leva ia ki he uaine foʻou; he ʻoku ne pehē, ‘ʻOku lelei lahi ʻa e uaine motuʻa.’”
