Pea kuo ʻalu hifo ʻa Sisu mei he moʻunga, pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi. 
Pea ʻiloange, kuo haʻu ʻae tangata kilia ʻo hū kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, kapau ko ho finangalo, ʻoku ke faʻa fakamaʻa au.” 
Pea mafao atu ʻe Sisu ʻa hono nima, ʻo ala kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoku loto ia; ke ke maʻa koe.” Pea fakamaʻa leva hono kilia. 
Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa ke tala ia ki ha tokotaha; ka ke ʻalu, ʻo fakahā koe ki he taulaʻeiki, mo ʻoatu ʻae meʻaʻofa naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese, ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu.” 
¶ Pea kuo hoko ʻa Sisu ki Kapaneume, naʻe haʻu kiate ia ha ʻeikitau, ʻo kole kiate ia, 
‌ʻO ne pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku tokoto ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ʻi ʻapi ʻoku mahaki ʻi he mahaki tete, pea mamahi lahi.” 
Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Te u ʻalu atu ʻo fakamoʻui ia.” 
Pea lea ʻae ʻeikitau, ʻo pehēange, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke ke hū ki hoku fale: kae fai pe haʻo lea, pea ʻe moʻui ai ʻeku tamaioʻeiki. 
He ko e tangata puleʻia au, ka ʻoku ai ʻae kautau ʻoku ou puleʻi: pea ʻoku ou pehē ki ha taha, ‘ʻAlu,’ pea ʻalu ia; pea ki ha taha, ‘Haʻu,’ pea haʻu ia; pea ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ‘Fai eni,’ pea ʻoku ne fai ia.” 
Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sisu, pea ofo ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu naʻe muimui mai, “ʻOku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, naʻa mo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ai ha tui ʻe pehē ni hono lahi. 
Pea ʻoku ou tala ʻatu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE haʻu ʻae tokolahi mei he potu hahake mo e potu lulunga, ʻonau nonofo mo ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, mo Sēkope, ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe langi. 
Ka ko e fānau ʻoe puleʻanga ʻe kapusi kituaʻā ki he fakapoʻuli: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.” 
Pea talaange ʻe Sisu ki he ʻeikitau, “Ke ke ʻalu, pea ʻe fai kiate koe, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo tui.” Pea naʻe moʻui ʻene tamaioʻeiki ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia. 
¶ Pea kuo hū ʻa Sisu ki he fale ʻo Pita, pea mamata ia ki he faʻē ʻa hono uaifi ʻoku tokoto ia, ʻi he mahaki ko e mofi. 
Pea naʻa ne ala ki hono nima, pea mahuʻi ʻiate ia ʻae mofi: pea tuʻu hake ia, ʻo ne tauhi ʻakinautolu. 
¶ Pea kuo efiafi, naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tokolahi kuo ʻulusino ai ʻae kau tēvolo: pea ne kapusi ʻae kau laumālie ʻaki ʻa ʻene lea, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe mahaki: 
Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita ko ʻIsaia, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia ia ne toʻo ʻetau ngaahi vaivai, ʻo ne fua ʻetau ngaahi mamahi.” 
¶ Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu kuo tokolahi ʻae kakai ʻoku foliaki ʻiate ia, ne ne fekau ke ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha. 
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata tohi ʻe tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, te u muimui ʻiate koe ʻi he potu kotoa pē te ke ʻalu ki ai.” 
Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku maʻu ʻe he fanga fokisi ʻae tafu, mo e fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā ʻae moheʻanga; ka ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻe he Foha ʻoe tangata ha potu ke tokoto ai hono ʻulu.” 
Pea pehē ʻene ākonga ʻe taha kiate ia, “ʻEiki, tuku au ke u tomuʻa ʻalu ʻo tanu ʻeku tamai. 
Ka naʻe talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Muimui ʻiate au; pea tuku ke tanu ʻe he mate honau mate.” 
¶ Pea kuo heka vaka ia, kae muimui ʻene kau ākonga ʻiate ia. 
Pea vakai, naʻe tō ʻae taufa lahi ʻi he tahi, pea fakapūlou ʻaki ʻae vaka ʻae ngaahi peau: ka naʻe mohe ia. 
Pea haʻu ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo fafangu ia, mo nau pehē, “ʻEiki, fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu; kuo tau mate!” 
Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou manavahē ai, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku siʻi hoʻomou tui?” Pea toki tuʻu hake ia, ʻo lolomi ʻae matangi mo e tahi; pea naʻe tofukī leva. 
Ka naʻe ofo ai ʻae kau tangata, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e tangata hā eni, koeʻuhi ʻoku talangofua kiate ia ʻae matangi mo e tahi!” 
¶ Pea kuo hoko ia ki he kauvai ʻe taha, ki he fonua ʻoe Kekesini, naʻe fakafetaulaki kiate ia ʻae toko ua naʻe ʻulusino ai ʻae kau tēvolo, ko ʻena omi mei he ngaahi faʻitoka, kuo lili ʻaupito ʻaupito, ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa ʻalu ai ha taha ʻo ofi ki he hala ko ia. 
Pea ʻiloange, kuo na kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻakimaua kiate koe, ʻe Sisu, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua? He kuo ke haʻu ki heni ke tomuʻa tautea ʻakimaua ʻi he teʻeki ai hoko ʻae kuonga?” 
Pea naʻe ʻi he mamaʻo atu ʻiate kinautolu ʻae fanga puaka lahi naʻe fafanga. 
Pea kole ʻae kau tēvolo kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻoku ke kapusi ʻakimautolu kituʻa, tuku ke mau hū ki he fanga puaka.” 
Pea talaange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻAlu.” Pea kuo nau haʻu kituʻa, mo nau hū ki he fanga puaka: pea ʻiloange, kuo feleleʻi ʻo ʻoho ʻae fanga puaka kotoa pē ʻi he potu tahifohifo ki tahi, pea ʻauha ai ʻi he vai. 
Pea feholaki ʻakinautolu naʻe tauhi ia, ʻo ʻalu ki he kolo, pea fakahā ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, mo ia kuo hoko kiate kinaua naʻe ʻulusino ai ʻae kau tēvolo. 
Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu kituʻa ʻae kolo kotoa pē ke nau fakafetaulaki kia Sisu: pea kuo nau mamata ki ai, naʻa nau kole kiate ia ke ne ʻalu mei honau fonua.
