27Pea tali ‘e Sione ʻo ne pehē: ‟‘Oku ʻikai lava ke maʻu ʻe ha tangata ha meʻa ʻe taha, kae ʻoua kuo foaki kiate ia mei he langi̇́. 28Ko kimoutolu foki te mou fakamoʻoni naʻá ku talaatu, ‘Oku ‘ikai ko e Mi̇̄saiá au, ka naʻe fekau mai au, ke u muʻomuʻa mai ʻi he Toko Taha ko ʻená.
29Ko e toko taha ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e taʻahine mali̇́, ko e tangata mali̇́ ia. Ko e fakafeʻao ʻo e tangata mali̇́, ʻokú ne tuʻu pē ʻo fanongo fiefia lahi ʻaupito, ki he leʻo ʻo e tangata mali̇́.
