Ko e Talanoa Fakatātā ʻUluakí: Ko e Sipi Heé

A shepherd looks after his flock of 100 sheep - ch.35-4

Naʻe maʻu ʻe ha tauhi-sipi lelei ha fanga sipi ʻe 100. Ne hē ha taha ʻo kinautolu.

The shepherd leaves the 99 other sheep and looks for the lost sheep - ch.35-5

Naʻe tuku ʻe he tauhi-sipí ʻa e fanga sipi ʻe toko 99 kae kumi ki he taha ne heé. ʻI heʻene ʻilo iá, naʻá ne fuʻu fiefia ʻaupito.

Luke 15:4–5

The shepherd carries the sheep home on his shoulders and invites his neighbors to rejoice with him - ch.35-6

Naʻe fua ʻe he tauhi-sipí ʻa e sipí ki ʻapi. Naʻá ne ui hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá mo hono ngaahi kaungāʻapí ke nau omi ke nau fiefia fakataha mo ia. Kuó ne maʻu ʻa e sipi ne heé.

Luke 15:5–6

Jesus Christ explains that sinners are like the lost sheep and there will be joy in heaven if a sinner repents - ch.35-7

Naʻe fakahā ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ki he kau Fālesí ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e talanoa fakatātaá. Naʻá Ne fakahā ange ko kinautolu ʻoku fai angahalá ʻoku nau hangē tofu pē ko e sipi ne heé.

Luke 15:7

Jesus explains that just as the shepherd wanted to save the lost sheep He wants to save sinners - ch.35-8

Hangē tofu pē ko e loto ʻa e tauhi-sipí ke fakahaofi ʻa e sipi ne heé, ʻoku pehē pē ʻa e loto ʻa Sīsū ke fakahaofi e kau fai angahalá.

Maʻake 2:17

Jesus tells the Pharisees that that is why He was talking with sinners - ch.35-10

Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ko hono ʻuhinga ia naʻá Ne talanoa ai mo e kau angahalá.

Mātiu 18:11 (vakai, footnote 11c); Maʻake 2:17

Just as the shepherd was happy to find his sheep, Jesus is happy when sinners repent - ch.35-9

Pea hangē naʻe fuʻu fiefia ʻa e tauh-sipí ʻi he taimi naʻá ne ʻilo ai ʻa e sipi ne heé, ʻoku pehē pē ʻa e fiefia ʻa Sīsū ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fakatomala aí.
