Pea naʻe ʻi he siasi ʻi ʻAniteoke ʻae niʻihi ko e kau palōfita mo e akonaki; ko Pānepasa, mo Simione ʻoku ui ko Nika, mo Lusio mei Sailine, mo Maneno, ʻaia naʻa na nonofo mo Helota ko e tuʻi, pea mo Saula. 
Pea lolotonga ʻenau ngāue ki he ʻEiki, mo ʻaukai, naʻe pehē ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, “Vavahe mai maʻaku ʻa Pānepasa mo Saula ki he ngāue kuo u fili ʻakinaua ki ai.” 
Pea kuo nau ʻaukai mo lotu, pea nau hili honau nima kiate kinaua, ʻo tuku ke na ō. 
¶ Pea kuo fekau ʻakinaua ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, naʻa na ō ki Selusia; pea folau mei ai ki Saipalo. 
Pea ʻi heʻena ʻi Salamisi, naʻa na malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi falelotu ʻoe kakai Siu: pea naʻe ʻiate kinaua foki ʻa Sione ko hona tauhi. 
Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae motu ʻi heʻenau ʻalu, pea nau aʻu ki Pafosi, ʻonau ʻilo ai ʻae fie mana ʻe tokotaha, ko e palōfita loi, ko e Siu, naʻe hingoa ko Pāsisu: 
Naʻe nonofo ia mo e pule ʻoe fonua, ko Sesio-Paula, ko e tangata poto; pea naʻe ui mai ʻe ia kia Pānepasa mo Saula, ko ʻene fie fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua. 
Ka naʻe fakatanga ʻakinaua ʻe he fie mana ko ʻElima, (he ko hono ʻuhinga ia ʻo hono hingoa,) ʻo ne ʻahiʻahi ke taʻofi ʻae pule ke ʻoua naʻa tui ia. 
Pea naʻe fonu ʻa Saula, (ʻa ia foki ko Paula,) ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, pea ne sio fakamamaʻu kiate ia, 
Mo ne pehē, “ʻA koe, ʻoku ke fonu ʻi he kākā kotoa pē mo e pauʻu kotoa pē, ko e foha ʻoe tēvolo, ko e fili ʻoe māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē, ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hoʻo fakakoviʻi ʻae ngaahi hala totonu ʻoe ʻEiki? 
Pea ko eni, vakai, kuo ʻiate koe ʻae nima ʻoe ʻEiki, pea te ke kui, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke mamata ki he laʻā ʻo fuoloa.” Pea tō leva kiate ia ʻae nenefu mo e fakapoʻuli; pea ne tautaufā ʻo kumi ha taha ke ne tataki ia ʻi hono nima. 
Pea kuo mamata ʻe he pule ki he meʻa kuo fai, pea tui ia, he kuo ofo ʻi he akonaki ʻae ʻEiki. 
Pea kuo ʻalu ʻa Paula mo hono kau fononga ʻi Pafosi, naʻa nau aʻu ki Peaka ʻi Pamifilia: pea liʻaki ʻakinaua ʻe Sione, kae foki ia ki Selūsalema. 
¶ Pea kuo na ō ʻi Peaka, pea na aʻu ki ʻAniteoke ʻi Pisitia, pea hū ki he falelotu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ʻo nofo hifo. 
Pea hili ʻae lau ʻoe fono mo e kau palōfita, naʻe fakahā ʻe he kau pule ʻoe falelotu kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē, “Ongo tangata ko e kāinga, kapau ʻoku ʻiate kimoua ha akonaki maʻae kakai, ke mo lea.” 
Pea tuʻu hake ʻa Paula, ʻo kamo ʻaki hono nima, mo ne pehē, “ʻAe kakai ʻIsileli, mo kimoutolu ʻoku manavahē ki he ʻOtua, tokanga mai. 
Ko e ʻOtua ʻoe kakai ʻIsileli ni, naʻa ne fili ʻetau ngaahi tamai, pea ne hakeakiʻi ʻae kakai ʻi he nofo ʻāunofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei ai ʻaki ʻae nima kuo mafao. 
Pea naʻa ne kātaki ʻenau anga ʻi he toafa ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu nai. 
Pea ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻae puleʻanga ʻe fitu ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, naʻa ne tufaki honau fonua kiate kinautolu ʻi he talotalo. 
Pea hili ia, naʻe foaki ʻae kau fakamaau ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngeau mo e nimangofulu nai, ʻo aʻu kia Samuela ko e palōfita. 
“Pea hili ia, naʻa nau holi ki ha tuʻi pea naʻe tuku ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu, ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, ʻa Saula ko e foha ʻo Kisi, ko e tangata ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani. 
Pea kuo ne liua ia, pea ne fokotuʻu ʻa Tevita ko honau tuʻi; ʻaia naʻa ne fakamoʻoni ai, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo u ʻilo ʻa Tevita ko e foha ʻo Sese, ko e tangata tatau mo hoku loto, pea ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻa hoku loto kotoa pē.’ 
Pea kuo fokotuʻu ki ʻIsileli ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he hako ʻoe tangata ni ʻae Fakamoʻui ko Sisu, ʻo hangē ko e talaʻofa: 
Ka naʻe fuofua malangaʻaki ʻe Sione ʻae papitaiso ʻoe fakatomala, ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he teʻeki ai haʻu ia. 
Pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe Sione ʻene lakanga, naʻa ne pehē, ‘ʻOku mou pehē ko hai au? ʻOku ʻikai ko ia au. Kae vakai, ʻoku muimui mai ʻae tokotaha ʻiate au, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke u vete ʻae topuvaʻe mei hono vaʻe.’ 
“ʻAe kau tangata ko e kāinga, ko e fānau ʻae hako ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo ia fulipē ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku manavahē ki he ʻOtua, kuo fekau mai kiate kimoutolu ʻae tala ʻoe fakamoʻui ni. 
He ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi Selūsalema, mo honau kau pule, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻeʻilo ia, mo e leʻo ʻoe kau palōfita ʻoku lau ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate kotoa pē, kuo nau fakamoʻoni ia ʻi he fakamaauʻi ke mate. 
Pea neongo ʻae ʻikai pe te nau ʻilo ha meʻa ke mate ai ia, ka naʻa nau kole kia Pailato ʻa hono tāmateʻi. 
Pea hili ʻenau fakamoʻoni ʻaia kotoa pē kuo tohi kiate ia, naʻa nau vete hifo ia mei he ʻakau, ʻo tuku ki he fonualoto. 
Ka naʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua mei he mate: 
Pea naʻe mamata kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi ʻakinautolu naʻe omi mo ia mei Kāleli ki Selūsalema, ʻaia ko ʻene kau fakamoʻoni ki he kakai. 
Pea ʻoku ma fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae ongoongolelei, koeʻuhi ʻi he talaʻofa naʻe tuku ki he ngaahi tamai, 
Ko ia kuo fakamoʻoni ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu ko ʻenau fānau, ʻi heʻene toe fokotuʻu ʻa Sisu; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi hono ua ʻoe Saame, ‘Ko hoku ʻAlo koe, kuo u fakatupu koe he ʻaho ni. 
Pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene fokotuʻu ia mei he pekia, ke ʻoua naʻa toe foki ki he ʻauʻauha, naʻa ne lea pehē, ‘Te u tuku kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa moʻoni ʻa Tevita.’ 
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai foki ʻe ia ʻi he Saame ʻe taha, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ke tuku ʻa hoʻo tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ke ʻilo ʻae ʻauʻauha.’ 
He kuo hili ʻae fai ʻe Tevita ʻi hono kuonga ki he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ne mohe ia, pea tanu ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae ʻauʻauha: 
Ka ko ia naʻe toe fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae ʻauʻauha. 
¶ Ko ia ke ʻilo ʻekimoutolu, ʻae kau tangata ko e kāinga, ʻoku malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi he tangata ni ʻae fakamolemole ʻoe angahala: 
Pea ko e meʻa ʻiate ia, ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tui, ʻoku fakatonuhiaʻi mei he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai faʻa fakatonuhia mei ai ʻe he fono ʻa Mōsese. 
Ko ia vakai telia naʻa hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻaia ʻoku fakahā ʻi he kau palōfita; 
‘Vakai, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau luma, pea ofo, mo malaʻia: he ʻoku ou fai ha ngāue ʻi homou ngaahi ʻaho, ha ngāue ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te mou tui ki ai, neongo hono fakahā ʻe ha tangata kiate kimoutolu.” 
¶ Pea ʻi he ʻalu ʻae kakai Siu ʻi he falelotu, naʻe kole ʻae Senitaile ke malangaʻaki kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi lea ni ʻi he Sāpate ʻe haʻu. 
Pea kuo tutuku ʻae kakai, naʻe muimui ʻia Paula mo Pānepasa ʻae Siu mo e kakai ului faʻa lotu tokolahi: pea naʻa na lea kiate kinautolu, ʻo akonakiʻi ke nau tuʻumaʻu ʻi he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua. 
Pea hoko ki he ʻaho Sāpate ʻe taha, naʻe meimei fakataha ʻae kolo kotoa pē, ke fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua. 
Ka ʻi he mamata ʻae kakai Siu ki he fuʻu tokolahi, naʻa nau feinga ʻaupito, mo nau lea kehe ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Paula, ʻo fakakikihi mo lea kovi lahi. 
Pea naʻe toki mālohi ai ʻae loto ʻo Paula mo Pānepasa, ʻo na pehē, “Naʻe totonu ke tomuʻa leaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu: ka ʻi hoʻomou tekeʻi atu ia ʻiate kimoutolu, pea fakahā ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻaonga ki he moʻui taʻengata, vakai, te ma ō ki he kakai Senitaile. 
He kuo pehē ʻae fekau ʻae ʻEiki kiate kimautolu, Kuo u fokotuʻu koe koe maama ki he ngaahi Senitaile, pea koeʻuhi ko e moʻuiʻanga ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.” 
Pea ʻi he fanongo eni ʻe he kakai Senitaile, naʻa nau fiefia, mo fakamālōʻia ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua: pea naʻe tui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe loto ki he moʻui taʻengata. 
Pea naʻe malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻEiki ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ko ia. 
Ka naʻe fakatupu ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae loto ʻoe kau fefineʻeiki kuo lotu, mo e kau matāpule tangata ʻoe kolo, ʻonau fakalanga ʻae fakatanga kia Paula mo Pānepasa, pea naʻe kapusi ʻakinaua ʻi honau fonua. 
Ka naʻa na tūtuuʻi ʻae efu mei hona vaʻe kiate kinautolu, pea na ō ki ʻIkoniume. 
Pea naʻe fakapito ʻaki ʻae kau ākonga ʻae fiefia, mo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
