Pea naʻe mahaki ʻa Lasalosi, ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻi Pētani, ko e kolo ʻa Mele mo hono tokoua ko Māʻata. 
(Ko e Mele ko ia ia naʻa ne tākai ʻae ʻEiki ʻaki ʻae lolo, ʻo ne holoholo hono vaʻe ʻaki hono louʻulu, naʻe mahaki hono tuongaʻane ko Lasalosi.) 
Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe hono ongo tuofefine kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, vakai, ko ia ʻoku ke ʻofa ai ʻoku mahaki.” 
Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sisu, pea ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ko e mahaki eni ke mate ai, ka ke ongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua, pea ke ongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.” 
Pea naʻe ʻofa ʻa Sisu kia Māʻata, mo hono tehina, mo Lasalosi. 
Pea kuo fanongo ia ki heʻene mahaki, naʻa ne kei nofo ʻi he potu ko ia ʻo ʻaho ua. 
Hili ia, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kau ākonga, “Ke tau toe ʻalu ki Siutea.” 
Pea tala ʻe he kau ākonga kiate ia, “Lāpai, naʻe toki kumi ʻe he kau Siu ke tolongaki koe ʻaki ʻae maka; pea ʻoku ke toe ʻalu ki ai?” 
Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu, “ʻIkai ʻoku hongofulu ma ua ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻi he ʻaho? Kapau ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ha tangata ʻi he ʻaho, ʻoku ʻikai tūkia ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku mamata ia ki he maama ʻoe māmani. 
Pea kapau ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ha tangata ʻi he poʻuli, ʻoku tūkia ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha maama ʻi ai.” 
Naʻe hili ʻene lea ni, pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko hotau kāinga ko Lasalosi ʻoku mohe; ka ʻoku ou ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke u fafangu ia mei he mohe.” 
Pea pehē ai ʻe heʻene kau ākonga, “ʻEiki, kapau ʻoku mohe, ʻe lelei ai ia.” 
Naʻe lea ʻa Sisu ki heʻene mate ka naʻa nau mahalo ko ʻene lea ki he mālōlō ʻi he mohe. 
Pea toki tala fakatotonu ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mate ʻa Lasalosi. 
Pea ʻoku ou fiefia ʻi he ʻikai te u ʻi ai, koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou tui; ka tau ō kiate ia.” 
Pea lea ai ʻa Tōmasi, ʻoku ui ko Titimasi, ki heʻene kaungā ākonga, “Ke tau ō foki, ka tau mate mo ia.” 
Pea kuo ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu, pea ne ʻilo kuo ʻaho fā hono tuku ia ki he faʻitoka. 
Pea naʻe ofi ʻa Pētani ki Selūsalema, ko e maile ʻe ua nai hono mamaʻo. 
Pea haʻu ʻae kau Siu tokolahi kia Māʻata mo Mele, ke fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinaua koeʻuhi ko hona tuongaʻane. 
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe Māʻata ʻoku haʻu ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne ʻalu ʻo fakafetaulaki kiate ia: ka naʻe nofo pe ʻa Mele ʻi he fale. 
Pea lea ai ʻa Māʻata kia Sisu, ʻEiki, ka ne ke ʻi heni, pehē, ne ʻikai mate hoku tuongaʻane. 
Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻa eni, ko ia kotoa pē te ke kolea ki he ʻOtua, ʻe foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe.” 
Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻE toetuʻu ho tuongaʻane.” 
Pea tala ʻe Māʻata kiate ia, “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻe toetuʻu ia ʻi he toetuʻu ʻi he ʻaho fakamui.” 
Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko au ko e toetuʻu, mo e moʻui: ko ia ʻoku tui kiate au, ka ne mate ia, ʻe moʻui pe ia: 
Pea ko ia ʻoku moʻui mo tui kiate au, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mate ia. ʻOku ke tui ki ai?” 
Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻIo, ʻEiki: ʻoku ou tui ko e Kalaisi ʻa koe, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe totonu ke haʻu ki māmani.” 
Pea hili ʻene lea ko ia, naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo ne ui fakafufū hono tehina ko Mele, ʻo ne pehē, Kuo haʻu ʻae Akonaki, pea ʻoku fehuʻi kiate koe.” 
Pea ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ia, naʻa ne tuʻu hake leva, ʻo haʻu kiate ia. 
Pea kuo teʻeki hoko ʻa Sisu ki he kolo, ka naʻe ʻi he potu ko ia naʻe fakafetaulaki ai ʻa Māʻata kiate ia. 
Pea ko e kau Siu naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi he fale, ʻonau fakafiemālieʻi ia, ʻi heʻenau vakai ʻoku tuʻu fakavave ʻa Mele, ʻo ʻalu kituʻa, naʻa nau muimui ai, ʻonau pehē, ʻOku ʻalu ia ki he faʻitoka ke tangi ai. 
Pea kuo ʻalu ange ʻa Mele ki he potu ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne mamata ki ai, pea tōmapeʻe ia ki hono vaʻe, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ka ne ke ʻi heni, pehē, ne ʻikai mate hoku tuongaʻane.” 
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu kiate ia ʻoku tangi, pea tangi foki mo e kakai Siu naʻe haʻu mo ia, pea toʻe ia ʻi he laumālie, pea mamahi ia, 
‌ʻO ne pehē, “Kuo mou tuku ʻi fē ia? Pea nau tala kiate ia, ʻEiki, haʻu ʻo mamata.” 
Pea tangi ʻa Sisu. 
Pea lea ai ʻae kau Siu, “Vakai ki hono lahi ʻo ʻene ʻofa kiate ia.” 
Pea lea ʻa honau niʻihi, “ʻIkai ʻe mafai ʻe he tangata ni, ʻoku ne fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe kui, ke taʻofi ke ʻoua naʻa mate ʻae tangata ni?” 
Pea ko ia naʻe toʻetoʻe ʻa Sisu ʻi hono loto, pea ʻalu atu ki he tanuʻanga. Ko e ʻana ia pea naʻe tāpuni ʻaki ia ʻae maka. 
Pea tala ʻe Sisu, “Mou toʻo ʻae maka.” Pea lea kiate ia ʻa Māʻata, ko e tuofefine ʻo ia kuo mate, ʻEiki, kuo namuhāhā: he ko hono ʻaho fā eni. 
Pea lea ʻa Sisu kiate ia, “ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate koe, kapau te ke tui, te ke mamata ki he māfimafi ʻoe ʻOtua?” 
Pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻae maka mei he potu naʻe tuku ai ʻae mate. Pea hanga hake ʻae fofonga ʻo Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Tamai, ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kuo ke ongoʻi au. 
Pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku ke ongoʻi maʻu aipē au: ka ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai ʻoku tutuʻu ni, ko ia kuo u lea ai, koeʻuhi ke nau tui naʻa ke fekau au.” 
Pea hili ʻene lea pehē, pea lea leʻo lahi ia, “Lasalosi, tuʻu mai.” 
Pea naʻe tuʻu mai ʻaia naʻe mate, kuo haʻihaʻi hono nima mo e vaʻe ʻaki ʻae kofu tanu: pea kuo nonoʻo ʻaki hono mata ʻae holoholo. Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Vevete, ʻo tukuange ia.” 
Pea ko e tokolahi ʻoe kau Siu naʻe haʻu kia Mele, hili ʻenau mamata ki he ngāue naʻe fai ʻe Sisu, naʻa nau tui kiate ia. 
Ka naʻe ʻalu honau niʻihi ki he kau Fālesi, ʻo tala kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo fai ʻe Sisu. 
¶ Pea fakataha ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau Fālesi ʻae kau fakamaau, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku tau fai? He ʻoku fai ʻe he tangata ni ʻae ngaahi mana lahi. 
Kapau te tau tuku noa ai pe ia, ʻe tui kotoa pē kiate ia: pea ʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Loma, ʻo fakaʻauha hotau potu mo hotau puleʻanga.” 
Pea ko honau tokotaha, ko Kaiafasi, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ia ʻi he taʻu ko ia, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ha meʻa, 
Pea tokanga ʻe lelei kiate kitautolu, ke mate ha tangata ʻe tokotaha maʻae kakai, kaeʻoua naʻa ʻauha ʻae puleʻanga kotoa.” 
Pea naʻe ʻikai meiate ia ʻene lea ko ia: ka ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ia ʻi he taʻu ko ia, pea ne kikite ʻe mate ʻa Sisu ki he puleʻanga ko ia; 
Pea ʻoku ʻikai ki he puleʻanga pe ko ia, ka koeʻuhi ke ne tānaki ʻo fakataha ʻae fānau ʻae ʻOtua kuo fakahēʻi mamaʻo. 
Pea talu mei he ʻaho ko ia naʻa nau alea fakataha ke tāmateʻi ia. 
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai toe ʻalu fakahā ʻa Sisu ʻi he kakai Siu; ka naʻe mahuʻi ia mei ai ki he fonua ofi ki he toafa, ki he kolo naʻe ui ko ʻEfalemi, pea nofo ai mo ʻene kau ākonga. 
Pea kuo ofi ʻa e kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu ʻae kakai Siu: naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae tokolahi mei he tukuʻuta ki Selūsalema, ʻi he teʻeki hoko ʻae kātoanga ke fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu. 
Pea naʻa nau kumi ʻa Sisu, ʻonau fealēleaʻaki, ʻi heʻenau tutuʻu ʻi he falelotu lahi, “Ko e hā hoʻomou mahalo? ʻE ʻikai te ne haʻu ki he kātoanga?” 
He kuo fekau ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e Fālesi, kapau kuo ʻilo ʻe ha tangata pe ʻoku ʻi fē ia, ke ne fakahā, ka nau puke ia.
