7 “Malaʼia ki te malamanei ʼuhi ko tana fakatupu higa ki te hahaʼi! ʼE moʼoni, ʼe maʼua ke hoko mai te ʼu meʼa fakatupu higa, kae malaʼia ki te tagata ʼae ʼe fakatupu higa! 8 Pea kapau ʼe ke higa ʼuhi ko tou nima peʼe ko tou vaʼe, haga ʼo tuʼusi pea mo ke li mamaʼo.+ ʼE lelei age tau nima tahi peʼe vaʼe tahi kae ke maʼu te maʼuli ʼi hou li ki te afi heʼe gata mo ʼou nima lua peʼe vaʼe lua.+ 9 Pea kapau ʼe ke higa ʼuhi ko tou mata, haga ʼo kapeʼi pea mo ke li mamaʼo. ʼE lelei age ke ke maʼu te maʼuli ʼe ke mata tahi ʼi tau maʼu ʼou mata ʼe lua kae li koe ki te afi ʼo te Seʼeni.*+ 10 Kotou tokakaga naʼa kotou meʼa noaʼi he tahi ia natou liliki ʼaeni, he ʼe au tala atu kia koutou, ʼe feala ki ʼanatou ʼaselo ʼae ʼe ʼi selo ke natou fakaovi tuʼumaʼu ki* taku Tamai ʼae ʼe ʼi selo.+ 11* ——

12 “Kotea takotou manatu? Kapau ʼe maʼu e he tagata ʼana ovi ʼe 100 pea ʼe hehe he ovi ʼe tahi,+ ʼe mole ina tuku anai koa te ʼu ovi ʼe 99 ʼi te moʼuga kae alu ʼo kumi ia ia ʼae kua hehe?+ 13 Pea kapau ʼe ina maʼu, ʼe au tala moʼoni atu kia koutou, ʼe fiafia lahi age anai ʼo ʼuhiga mo ia ʼi te ʼu ovi ʼe 99 ʼae neʼe mole hehe. 14 ʼO toe feia aipe, ʼe mole loto e taku* Tamai ʼae ʼe ʼi selo ke mate he tahi ia natou liliki ʼaeni.+

15 “Pea kapau ʼe agahala tou tehina, alu ʼo fakaha kia ia tana hala,* ia koe pe mo ia.+ Kapau ʼe fakalogo atu, kua ke toe maʼu tou tehina.+ 16 Kae kapau ʼe mole fakalogo atu, alu mo he tahi peʼe ko he toko lua, ke feala ke fakatafito ia te ʼu palalau fuli ki te fakamoʼoni ʼo he toko lua peʼe ko he toko tolu.+ 17 Kapau ʼe mole fakalogo kia natou, fakaha ki te kokelekasio. Pea kapau ʼe mole fakalogo ki te kokelekasio, ke hage pe kia koe ko he matapule+ peʼe ko he tagata tanaki tukuhau.+

18 “ ʼE au tala moʼoni atu kia koutou, ko meʼa fuli ʼe kotou haʼi anai ʼi te kele, ʼe kua haʼi ia ʼi selo, pea ko meʼa fuli ʼe kotou veteki anai ʼi te kele, ʼe kua veteki ia ʼi selo. 19 Pea ʼe au tala moʼoni atu kia koutou, kapau ʼe manatu tahi he toko lua ia koutou ʼi te kele ʼo ʼuhiga mo he kole maʼuhiga ʼe tonu ke nā fai, ʼe fakahoko anai e taku Tamai ʼae ʼe ʼi selo.+ 20 Koteʼuhi ka fakatahi he toko lua peʼe ko he toko tolu ʼi toku huafa,+ ʼe au nofo mo natou.”

21 Pea neʼe haʼu leva ia Petelo kia Sesu, ʼo ina fehuʼi age: “ ʼAliki, ʼe tonu ke au fakamolemole tuʼa fia ki toku tehina ʼae ʼe agahala mai kia au? ʼO kaku ki te tuʼa fitu?” 22 Neʼe ui age e Sesu: “ ʼE au tala atu kia koe, ʼo mole kaku ki te tuʼa fitu kae ki te tuʼa 77.+

23 “Koia ʼe feala ke fakatatau te Puleʼaga ʼo selo ki he hau ʼe ina kole ki ʼana kaugana ke natou huʼi ʼonatou maʼua. 24 ʼI tana kamata tanaki tana falā, neʼe ʼaumai he tagata kaugana neʼe ko tona maʼua ko taleta ʼe 10 000.* 25 Kae neʼe mole feala ke ina huʼi age tona maʼua. Koia, neʼe fakatotonu ai e te hau ke fakatau ia ia, mo tona ʼohoana, mo ʼana fanau pea mo meʼa fuli ʼe ina maʼu moʼo huʼi ʼaki te maʼua.+ 26 Neʼe tuʼutuli ifo te tagata kaugana ʼo hu kia ia, ʼo ina ui: ‘ ʼAliki, ke ke tuku mai he temi, pea ʼe au huʼi fuli atu anai toku maʼua.’ 27 Neʼe ʼofa mamahi te hau ki te tagata kaugana ʼaia, ʼo ina tuku ai ke alu pea ina molehi tona maʼua.+ 28 Kae neʼe alu te tagata kaugana ʼaia pea neʼe ina maʼu te tahi tagata kaugana, neʼe tuʼu maʼua ki ai ia tenalio* ʼe 100. Neʼe ina puke mo kukumi tona kia. Pea neʼe ina ui age: ‘Huʼi mai tou maʼua.’ 29 Neʼe tuʼutuli ifo te tagata kaugana ʼaia pea mo ina kolekole age: ‘Tehina, ke ke tuku mai he temi, pea ʼe au huʼi atu anai toku maʼua.’ 30 Kae neʼe mole loto ia ki ai. Neʼe alu ia ʼo kole ke pilisoniʼi te tagata kaugana ʼaia ʼo kaku ki tana huʼi age tona maʼua. 31 ʼI te sisio ʼa te tahi ʼu kaugana ki te meʼa ʼae neʼe hoko, neʼe natou lotomamahi ʼaupito ai. Neʼe natou olo ai ʼo fakamatala ki te hau ia te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼae neʼe hoko. 32 Neʼe fekauʼi mai ia ia e te hau, pea ina ui age: ‘Tagata kaugana agakovi, neʼe au molehi katoa tou maʼua ʼi tau kolekole mai. 33 Pea neʼe mole tonu koa la ke ke manavaʼofa ki tou tehina ohage pe ko taku fakaha atu toku manavaʼofa?’+ 34 Neʼe ita lahi ai te hau ʼo ina fakatotonu ke pilisoniʼi, ʼo kaku ki tana hoki huʼi katoa age tona maʼua. 35 ʼE toe fai feia pe anai kia koutou e taku Tamai ʼae ʼe ʼi selo,+ mo kapau ʼe mole kotou tahi fakamolemole ki tona tehina ʼaki tokotou loto katoa.”+
