Ko e ʻUluaki Ongoongolelei ʻo e Kei Valevale ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí VAHE 1 1 Ko e ngaahi fakamatala ko ʻeni ne mau maʻu ʻi he tohi ʻa Siosefa ko e taulaʻeiki lahí, naʻe ui ʻe Kaiafasi 2 ʻOkú ne pehē, naʻe folofola ʻa Sīsū ʻo aʻu ki heʻene kei ʻi he mohenga pēpeé, peá ne pehē ki heʻene faʻeé: 3 Mele, ko au ko Sīsū ko e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá, ko e folofola ko ia naʻá ke fakahā ʻo fakatatau ki he lea ʻa e ʻāngelo ko Kepalelí kiate koé, pea kuo fekauʻi au ʻe heʻeku tamaí ke fakamoʻui ʻa e māmaní.

4 ʻ I he taʻu ʻ e tolungeau mā hiva ʻ o e æra ʻ o ʻ Alekisānitaá, naʻe pulusi ai ʻ e ʻ Aokositusi ha tuʻutuʻuni ʻ oku totonu ke ʻ alu ʻ a e kakai kotoa pē ke fakatukuhauʻi ʻ i honau fonuá tonu.

5 Ko ia naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻa Siosefa, pea naʻá ne ʻalu mo Mele mo hono malí ki Selusalema, pea haʻu ki Pētelihema, koeʻuhí ke fakatukuhauʻi ia mo hono fāmilí ʻi he kolo ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamaí.

6 Pea ʻi heʻenau aʻu mai ki he veʻe ʻaná, naʻe fakahā ʻe Mele kia Siosefa kuo hokosia ʻa e taimi ke ʻomi ai iá, pea naʻe ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo hoko atu ki he koló, ʻo ne pehē, Tau hū ki he ʻaná ni.

7 ʻI he taimi ko iá ne ofi ʻaupito e tō ʻa e laʻaá.

8 Ka naʻe fakavavevave atu ʻa Siosefa ke ne ʻomi ha māʻuli kiate ia; pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki ha fefine Hepelū toulekeleka naʻe ʻo Selūsalema, naʻá ne pehē ange ki ai, Lotu, ʻe fefine lelei, pea hū ki he ʻana ko iá, pea te ke mamata ai ki ha fefine ʻoku mateuteu pē ke fokotuʻu mai.

9 Naʻe hili e tō ʻa e laʻaá, ʻi he aʻu atu ʻa e fefine toulekeleká mo Siosefa ki he ʻaná, pea naʻá na fakatou hū ki ai.

10 Pea vakai, naʻe fakafonu kotoa ia ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi maama, ʻo lahi ange ia ʻi he maama ʻo e ngaahi māmá mo e teʻelangó, pea lahi ange ia ʻi he maama ʻo e laʻaá.

11 Naʻe kofukofuʻi leva ʻa e kiʻi valevalé ʻi he kofu, pea naʻá ne kei fakahuhu pē ʻa e loto ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Melé.

12 ʻI heʻena fakatou mamata ki he maama ko ʻení, naʻá na ʻohovale; Naʻe fehuʻi ange ʻe he fefine motuʻa kia Seni Mele, ko e faʻe ʻa e kiʻi tamasiʻi ko ʻeni?

13 Naʻe tali ange ʻe Mele, Ko ia.

14 ʻA ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe he fefine toulekeleká, ʻOku kehe ʻaupito ʻa e ʻātí ia mei he kakai fefine kehé.

15 Naʻe tali ange ʻe Mele, Koeʻuhí ʻoku ʻikai ha tamasiʻi ʻe hangē ko hoku fohá, ʻoku pehē pē ʻa e ʻikai ha fefine ʻe tatau mo ʻene faʻeé.

16 Naʻe tali ange ʻe he fefine toulekeleká, ʻo ne pehē ange, ʻE hoku Fefine, kuó u haʻu ki heni koeʻuhí ke u maʻu ha totongi taʻengata.

17 Pea pehē ange ʻe homau Fefine ko Melé kiate ia, Hilifaki ho nima ki he valevalé; ʻa ia, ʻi heʻene fai iá, naʻá ne hoko ʻo kakato.

18 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalú, naʻá ne pehē, ʻE kamata mei heni ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa ʻo ʻeku moʻuí, te u ʻalu atu ʻo hoko ko ha tamaioʻeiki ʻa e kiʻi valevalé ni.

19 Hili ʻení, ʻi he haʻu ʻa e kau tauhisipí, mo tutu ʻa e afí, pea naʻa nau fuʻu fiefia lahi, naʻe hā mai ʻa e kau tau ʻo e langí kiate kinautolu, ʻo fakamālō mo ʻofa ki he ʻOtua fungani Māfimafí.

20 Pea ʻi he femoʻuekina ʻa e kau tauhisipí ʻi he ngāue tatau, naʻe hangē ʻa e ʻaná ʻi he taimi ko iá ko ha temipale nāunauʻia, koeʻuhí he naʻe fakataha ʻa e lea ʻa e kau ʻāngeló mo e tangatá ke hū mo fua totonu ʻa e ʻOtuá, koeʻuhí ko e ʻaloʻi ʻo e ʻEiki ko Kalaisí.

21 Ka ʻi he mamata ʻa e fefine Hepelū motuʻá ki he ngaahi mana mahino kotoa ko ʻení, naʻá ne fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtuá, ʻo ne pehē, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, he kuo mamata hoku matá ki he ʻaloʻi ʻo e Fakamoʻui ʻo e māmaní.

VAHE 2 1 Pea ʻi he hokosia ʻa e taimi ʻo ʻene kamú, ʻa ia ko e ʻaho hono valú, ʻa ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe he laó ke kamu ʻa e tamasiʻí, naʻa nau kamu ia ʻi he ʻaná.

2 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe he fefine Hepelu motuʻa ʻa e foreskin (ʻoku pehe ʻe he niʻihi kehe naʻa ne toʻo ʻa e afo ʻo e pito), ʻo fakatolonga ia ʻi ha puha lolo motuʻa ʻo e spikenard.

3 Pea naʻe ʻi ai hano foha naʻe hoko ko ha taha tāpuaki, ʻa ia naʻá ne pehē ange ki ai, ʻOua naʻá ke tokanga ke fakatau atu ʻa e puha ʻalapasita ko ʻeni ʻo e spikenard-ointment, neongo ʻoku totonu ke ʻoange kiate koe ha tenali ʻe 300 ki ai.

4 Ko ʻeni, ko e puha ʻalapasita ʻeni naʻe ʻomi ʻe Mele ko e angahalá, peá ne lilingi hifo ʻa e lolo mei aí ki he ʻulú mo e vaʻe ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻo holoholoʻi ʻaki ia ʻa e louʻulu ʻo hono ʻulú.

5 Pea hili ʻa e ʻaho ʻe hongofulu naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki Selusalema, pea ʻi hono fāngofulu ʻo e ʻahó talu mei hono fāʻeleʻí, naʻa nau fokotuʻu ia ʻi he temipalé ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻo fai ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau totonu maʻana, ʻo fakatatau mo e fie maʻu ʻa e fono ʻa Mōsesé: ʻa ia, ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻe fakaava ʻa e manavá ʻe ui ia ko e māʻoniʻoni ki he ʻOtuá.

6 ʻI he taimi ko iá naʻe mamata ʻa Simione ki heʻene ulo ʻo hangē ha pou māmá, ʻi hono fua ia ʻe Mele ko e Tāupoʻoú, ko ʻene faʻeé, pea naʻe fonu ia ʻi he fiefia lahi taha ʻi heʻene sió.

7 Pea naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia ʻa e kau ʻāngeló, ʻo nau ʻofa kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e tuʻu takai ʻiate ia ʻa e kau leʻo ʻa e tuʻí.

8 Pea ʻalu atu leva ʻa Simione ki Seni Mele, pea mafao atu hono ongo nimá kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē ki he ʻEiki ko Kalaisí, ʻE hoku ʻEiki, ʻe ʻalu ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeikí ʻi he melino, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo leá; 9 He kuo mamata ʻa hoku matá ki hoʻo ʻaloʻofá, ʻa ia kuó ke teuteu ki hono fakamoʻui ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē; ko ha maama ki he kakai kotoa pē, pea mo e nāunau ʻo ho kakai ʻo ʻIsilelí.

10 Naʻe ʻi ai foki mo ʻAna ko e palōfita fānau lahí, pea ʻunuʻunu ofi mai, naʻá ne fai ʻa e fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtuá, mo fakafiefiaʻi ʻa e fiefia ʻa Melé.

VAHE 3 1 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he taimi naʻe ʻaloʻi ai ʻa e ʻEiki ko Sīsuú ʻi Pētelihema, ko ha kolo ko Satiio, ʻi he kuonga ʻo Hēlota ko e Tuʻí; naʻe haʻu ʻa e kau tangata potó mei he Hahaké ki Selusalema, ʻo fakatatau ki he kikite ʻa Sōlami, ʻo nau ʻomi mo kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau: ʻa ia, ko e koula, laipeno, mo e mula, pea hū kiate ia, mo ʻoatu kiate ia ʻa ʻenau ngaahi meʻaʻofá.

2 Naʻe toʻo leva ʻe he Fefine ko Melé ʻa e taha ʻo hono kofu kuo takatakai ʻaki ʻa e valevalé, ʻo foaki kiate kinaua kae ʻikai ko ha tāpuaki, ʻa ia naʻa nau maʻu meiate ia ko e meʻaʻofa fakaʻeiʻeiki taha.

3 Pea ʻi he taimi pē ko iá naʻe hā mai kiate kinautolu ha ʻāngelo ʻi he tatau ʻo e fetuʻu ko ia kuo hoko ki muʻa ko honau taki ʻi heʻenau fonongá; ʻa e maama naʻa nau muimui ki ai kae ʻoua kuo nau foki ki honau fonua.

5 Ka naʻa nau faʻu ʻa e tupenu naʻe ʻoange ʻe Mele kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi naʻa nau tauhi ai ha katoanga kai.

6 Pea ʻi heʻenau maʻu ʻa e afi ʻo hangē ko e anga fakafonua ʻo honau fonuá, naʻa nau lotu ki ai.

VAHE 4 1 Pea ʻi he ʻilo ʻe Hēlota ʻoku fakatoloi ʻa e kau tangata potó, pea ʻikai foki mai kiate iá, naʻá ne ui fakataha ʻa e kau taulaʻeikí mo e kau tangata potó ʻo nau pehē, Tala mai kiate au ʻa e potu ʻe ʻaloʻi ai ʻa Kalaisí?

3 Ka naʻe hā ʻa e ʻāngelo ʻa e ʻEikí kia Siosefa ʻi heʻene mohé, ʻo ne pehē, Tuʻu hake, ʻave ʻa e tamasiʻí mo ʻene faʻeé, pea ʻalu ki ʻIsipite ʻo ka leveni ʻa e moá. Ko ia naʻá ne tuʻu hake, ʻo ʻalu.

5 ʻI he lōloa ʻo e fonongá, naʻe motu ʻa e ngaahi nonoʻo ʻo e nofoʻa kuo fakanofoʻā.

9 Naʻe ofi ki he tamapua ko iá ʻa e fale tali-fononga ʻo e koló, ʻa ia naʻe haʻu ki ai ʻa Siosefa mo Mele, ʻo na tafoki ki he fale talifononga ko iá, naʻe ofo ʻa e kakai kotoa pē ʻo e koló.

10 Pea naʻe fakatahataha ʻa e kau fakamaau fakapuleʻanga mo e kau taulaʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo e ngaahi tamapuá ki he ʻao ʻo e tamapua ko iá, ʻo nau fehuʻi ai, ʻo pehē, Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻo e hohaʻá ni kotoa, mo e tailiili, ʻa ia kuo tō ki homau fonuá kotoa?

11 Naʻe tali ange ʻe he tamapuá kiate kinautolu, Kuo hāʻele mai ki heni ʻa e ʻOtua taʻeʻiloá, ʻa ia ko e ʻOtua moʻoní; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha makehe meiate ia, ʻoku taau mo e hū fakalangí; he ko e ʻAlo moʻoni ia ʻo e ʻOtuá.

14 Ka ko e foha ʻo e taulaʻeikí, ʻi he hoko mai kiate ia ʻa e mahaki angamahení, ʻo ʻalu ki he fale tali-fononga, naʻá na ʻilo ai ʻa Siosefa mo Mele, ʻa ia naʻe liʻaki ʻe hono toé kotoa ʻo liʻaki.

15 Pea ʻi he taimi naʻe fufulu ai ʻe he Fefine ko Melé ʻa e kofu ʻo e ʻEiki ko Kalaisí, ʻo tautau ke mōmoa ʻi ha fuʻu pou, naʻe ʻave hifo ʻe he tamasiʻi naʻe maʻu ʻe he tēvoló ha taha ʻo kinautolu, ʻo ʻai ki hono ʻulú.

16 Pea ʻi he lolotonga ní naʻe kamata ke haʻu ʻa e kau tēvoló mei hono ngutú, ʻo puna mei he fōtunga ʻo e fanga lēvení mo e fanga ngatá.

17 Talu mei he taimi ko iá mo hono fakamoʻui ʻo e tamasiʻí ʻe he mālohi ʻo e ʻEiki ko Kalaisí, pea kamata ke ne hiva fakafetaʻi, mo fakafetaʻi ki he ʻEikí ʻa ia naʻá ne fakamoʻui iá.

18 ʻI he mamata ʻene tamaí ki heʻene toe foki ki he tuʻunga moʻui lelei kimuʻá, naʻá ne pehē ange, ʻE hoku foha, ko e hā e meʻa kuo hoko kiate koé, pea ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻo hoʻo maʻuiʻu iá?
