16 ¶ “ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata te ne tutu ʻae maama, ke fakapulonga ʻaki ʻae ipu, pe tuku ia ki he lalo mohenga; kae fokotuʻu ia ki ha tuʻunga, koeʻuhi ke mamata ki he maama ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻi ai. 17 He ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku lilo, ʻe taʻefakahā; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku fufū, ʻe taʻeʻiloa pe taʻemafola kituʻa. 18 Ko ia mou tokanga ki hoʻomou fanongo: he ko ia ʻoku maʻu, ʻe foaki kiate ia pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu, ʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ne mahalo kuo ne maʻu.”
19 ¶ Pea haʻu ai kiate ia ʻa ʻene faʻē mo hono kāinga, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ofi kiate ia, ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai. 20 Pea naʻe fakahā kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoʻo faʻē mo ho kāinga ʻoku tutuʻu ʻituʻa, ko ʻenau holi ke mamata kiate koe.” 21 Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko ʻeku faʻē mo hoku kāinga ʻakinautolu ni ʻoku fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua, mo fai ki ai.”
22 ¶ Pea pehē, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe heka vaka ia mo ʻene kau ākonga: pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ke tau ō ki he kauvai ʻe taha. Pea naʻa nau tuku atu.” 23 Ka ʻi heʻenau folau naʻe mohe ia: pea naʻe tō hifo ki he tahi ʻae taufa lahi: pea ngotofuʻu ʻae vaka, pea nau tuʻutāmaki ai. 24 Pea naʻa nau haʻu, ʻo fafangu ia, mo nau pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻeiki, kuo tau mate.” Pea tuʻu hake ia, ʻo lolomi ʻae matangi mo e hou ʻae tahi; pea tuku ia, ʻo tofukī. 25 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Kofaʻā hoʻomou tui?” Ka naʻe manavahē mo ofo ʻakinautolu, ʻonau fepehēʻaki, “Ko hai nai ʻae tangata ni! He ʻoku fekau ʻe ia ki he matangi mo e tahi, pea ʻoku talangofua ia kiate ia.”
26 ¶ Pea naʻa nau tau ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Katala, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu ki Kāleli. 27 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu ki ʻuta, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha mei he kolo, naʻe fuoloa ʻae ulusino ʻiate ia ʻae kau tēvolo, naʻe ʻikai ke vala, pe nofo fale, ka ʻi he ngaahi faʻitoka. 28 Pea mamata ia kia Sisu, pea kalanga, mo fakatōmapeʻe ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo tangi leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sisu, ʻAlo ʻoe fungani ʻOtua māʻolunga, ko e hā au kiate koe? ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻoua ʻe fakamamahiʻi au.” 29 (He kuo fekau ʻe ia ki he laumālie ʻuli ke haʻu kituʻa mei he tangata. He kuo liunga lahi hono puke ia: pea naʻe maʻu ia ʻi hono haʻisia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ukamea fihifihi mo e ngaahi ukamea fakamaʻu; kae motuhi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi haʻi, pea tuli ia ʻe he tēvolo ki he toafa.) 30 Pea fehuʻi ʻa Sisu kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai ho hingoa?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko Lisione:” koeʻuhi kuo hū kiate ia ʻae kau tēvolo tokolahi. 31 Pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia, ke ʻoua te ne fekau ʻakinautolu ke nau ʻalu atu ki he loloto. 32 Pea naʻe ai ʻae fanga puaka lahi naʻe fafanga ʻi he moʻunga: pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia ke ne tuku ke nau hū ki ai. Pea ne tukuange ia. 33 Pea ʻalu atu leva ʻae kau tēvolo ʻi he tangata, ʻonau hū ki he fanga puaka; pea feleleʻi ʻo ʻoho ʻae fanga puaka ʻi he potu tahifohifo ki tahi, ʻo melemo ai. 34 Pea kuo mamata ʻae kau tauhimanu ki he meʻa kuo fai, pea nau feholaki, ʻo ʻalu ʻo fakahā ʻi he kolo mo e tukuʻuta. 35 Pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu ke vakai pe ko e hā kuo fai, ʻo haʻu kia Sisu, pea ʻilo ʻae tangata, ʻaia kuo ʻalu ai ʻae kau tēvolo, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he vaʻe ʻo Sisu, kuo kofu, pea poto hono loto: pea naʻa nau manavahē ai. 36 Pea ko kinautolu foki naʻe mamata ki ai, naʻa nau tala kiate kinautolu ʻae ngāue kuo moʻui ai ia, ʻaia naʻe ulusino ai ʻae kau tēvolo.
37 ¶ Pea toki kole ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻoe kau Katala ke ʻalu ia ʻiate kinautolu; he kuo nau pukea ʻi he ilifia lahi: pea heka ia ki vaka, ʻo toe liu mai. 38 Pea ko e tangata naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae kau tēvolo, naʻa ne kole kiate ia ke na nonofo mo ia: ka naʻe fekau ʻe Sisu ke ʻalu ia, ʻo ne pehē, 39 “Toe ʻalu koe ki ho fale, ʻo fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo ne ongoongoa ʻi he kolo kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo fai ʻe Sisu kiate ia.
40 ¶ Pea pehē, kuo foki ange ʻa Sisu, naʻe toe maʻu fiefia ia ʻe he kakai: he naʻa nau tatali kotoa pē kiate ia. 41 Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata ko Sailosi hono hingoa, ko e pule ia ʻi he falelotu; pea ne fakatōmapeʻe ki he vaʻe ʻo Sisu, ʻo kole kiate ia ke haʻu ki hono fale: 42 He kuo taha pe hono ʻofefine, pea kuo hongofulu ma ua nai hono taʻu pea kuo tei mate ia. Ka ʻi heʻene ʻalu naʻe fakaʻefi ia ʻe he kakai.
43 ¶ Pea ko e fefine ʻe tokotaha naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ʻau ʻoe toto, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua, pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene meʻa kotoa pē ki he kau faitoʻo, ka naʻe ʻikai ke moʻui ia ʻi ha taha, 44 Naʻe haʻu ia ki hono tuʻa, ʻo ala ki he kapa ʻo hono kofu: pea matuʻu leva ʻae ʻau ʻo hono toto. 45 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu, “Ko hai kuo ala kiate au?” Pea kuo nau ʻikai kotoa pē, pea pehē ʻe Pita mo kinautolu naʻa nau ʻiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku fakaʻefi mo kāpui koe ʻe he kakai, pea ʻoku ke pehē, ‘Ko hai kuo ala kiate au?’ ” 46 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu, “Kuo ala ha taha kiate au: he ʻoku ou ʻilo kuo ʻalu ʻae mālohi ʻiate au.” 47 Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe he fefine ʻoku ʻikai lilo ia, pea haʻu tetetete ia, ʻo fakatōmapeʻe ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo ne fakahā kiate ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē hono ʻuhinga ʻo ʻene ala kiate ia, pea mo ʻene moʻui ai leva. 48 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOfefine, ke ke fiemālie: kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui; ʻalu ʻo fiemālie.”
49 ¶ Pea naʻe lolotonga ʻene lea, mo ʻene haʻu ʻae tokotaha mei he fale ʻoe pule ʻoe falelotu, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo pekia ho ʻofefine; ʻoua naʻa fakafiuʻi ʻae ʻEiki.” 50 Ka kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa Sisu, pea lea ia, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻOua te ke manavahē: ka ke tui pe, pea ʻe fakamoʻui ia.” 51 Pea kuo haʻu ia ki he fale, naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ke hū ki ai ha taha, ka ko Pita, mo Semisi, mo Sione, pea mo e tamai mo e faʻē ʻae taʻahine. 52 Pea naʻa nau tangi mo tangilāulau kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko ia: ka naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOua ʻe tangi; he ʻoku ʻikai mate ia, ka ʻoku mohe pe.” 53 Ka naʻa nau kakata manuki kiate ia, ko ʻenau ʻilo kuo mate ia. 54 Pea ne tuku ʻakinautolu kotoa pē kituʻa, pea puke hono nima, ʻo ne ui, ʻo pehē, “Taʻahine, tuʻu hake.” 55 Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa hono laumālie, pea tuʻu hake leva ia: pea ne fekau ke ʻatu haʻane meʻakai. 56 Pea ofo ai ʻa ʻene mātuʻa: ka naʻe fekau ʻe ia kiate kinaua ke ʻoua naʻa na fakahā ki ha taha ʻaia kuo fai.
