Kei Siʻi ʻa Sīsuú

Naʻe nofo ʻa Siosifa mo Mele ʻi Nāsaleti mo Sīsū pea mo hona ngaahi foha mo e ʻofefine. Naʻe tauhi ʻe Siosifa hono fāmilí ʻaki ʻene ngāue ko ha tufunga, pea naʻá ne akoʻi kinautolu ʻo fekauʻaki mo Sihova mo ʻene Laó. Naʻe ō maʻu pē ʻa e fāmilí ki he sinakoké ke lotu pea ʻi he taʻu taki taha ki Selusalema ki he Pāsová.

ʻI he taʻu 12 ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe fononga lōloa ai ʻa hono fāmilí ki Selusalema ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku nau faʻa faí. Naʻe fonu ʻa e koló ʻi he kakai naʻa nau omi ke kātoangaʻi ʻa e Pāsová. Hili iá, naʻe kamata ke fononga ʻa Siosifa mo Mele ki ʻapi, ʻo na fakakaukau naʻe fononga fakataha mo kinautolu ʻa Sīsū. Ka ʻi heʻena kumi ia ʻi honau kāingá, naʻe ʻikai lava ke na maʻu ia.

Naʻá na toe foki ki Selusalema, peá na kumi ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu ʻa hona fohá. Naʻe faifai pē peá na ō ki he temipalé. Naʻe ʻi ai ʻa Sīsū, ʻokú ne tangutu ʻi loto ʻi he kau faiakó, ʻo fanongo lelei mo ʻeke ha ngaahi fehuʻi lelei. Naʻe mālieʻia ʻa e kau faiakó ʻia Sīsū pea kamata ke nau ʻeke kiate ia ha ngaahi fehuʻi. Pea naʻa nau ʻohovale ʻi heʻene talí. Naʻe lava ke nau sio naʻá ne mahinoʻi ʻa e Lao ʻa Sihová.

Naʻe hohaʻa ʻaupito ʻa Siosifa mo Mele. Naʻe pehē ʻe Mele: ‘Tamasiʻi, kuó ma kumi koe he feituʻu kotoa pē! Naʻá ke ʻalu ki fē?’ Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Sīsū: ‘ʻOku ʻikai koā te mo ʻiloʻi kuo pau ke u ʻi heni ʻi he fale ʻo ʻeku Tamaí?’

Naʻe foki ki ʻapi ʻa Sīsū mo ʻene ongo mātuʻá ki Nāsaleti. Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Siosifa ʻa Sīsū ke ne ngāue ko ha tufunga. ʻOkú ke pehē ko e tokotaha fēfē ʻa Sīsū ʻi heʻene kei siʻí? ʻI heʻene tupu haké, naʻe lahi ʻa e poto naʻe maʻu ʻe Sīsuú pea naʻe ʻofeina ia ʻe he ʻOtuá mo e kakaí.
