Pea kuo hoko ʻa Fesito ki he puleʻanga, pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu, naʻe ʻalu hake ia ʻi Sesalia ki Selūsalema. 
Pea toki fakahā ʻa Paula kiate ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki lahi mo e houʻeiki ʻi he kakai Siu, pea nau kole kiate ia. 
Mo holi ke ʻofa ia, ʻo ne fekau ke ʻomai ia ki Selūsalema, ka nau toka tataʻo ʻi he hala ke tāmateʻi ia. 
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Fesito, “Ke nofo pe ʻa Paula ʻi Sesalia, kae toe siʻi pea ʻalu pe ia ki ai.” 
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ke tau ʻalu hifo mo kimoutolu, ʻe faʻa ʻalu, ʻo talatalaaki ʻae tangata ko ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻiate ia ha kovi.” 
Pea ko e ʻaho hongofulu tupu ʻene nofo ʻiate kinautolu, pea ʻalu hifo ia ki Sesalia; pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻe feholoi, naʻe nofo ia ʻi he nofoʻa fakamaau mo ne fekau ke ʻomi ʻa Paula. 
Pea kuo haʻu ia, pea tutuʻu takatakai ʻa e kau Siu kuo nau ʻalu hifo mei Selūsalema, ʻo tukuakiʻi ʻa Paula ʻi he ngaahi kovi lahi mo mamafa, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fakamoʻoni ki ai. 
Ka naʻe fakamatala ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻaupito te u fai ha kovi siʻi ki he fono ʻae kakai Siu, pe ki he falelotu lahi, pe kia Sisa.” 
Ka naʻe loto ʻa Fesito ke ne fai ke fakafiefiaʻi ʻae kakai Siu, pea ne leaange kia Paula, ʻo pehē, “Te ke ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema, ke fakamaau ai koe ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni ʻi hoku ʻao?” 
Pea pehē ʻe Paula, “ʻOku ou tuʻu ʻi he nofoʻa fakamaau ʻo Sisa, ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke fakamaau ai au. ʻOku ʻikai te u fai ha kovi ki he kakai Siu, pea ʻoku ke ʻilo pau ia. 
He kapau ko e fai kovi au, pe kuo u fai ha meʻa ʻoku totonu ke u mate ai, ʻoku ʻikai teu fie hao mei he mate: pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku tukuakiʻi ai au ʻekinautolu ni, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻe faʻa tuku au kiate kinautolu. Te u fakamaau pe au ʻia Sisa.” 
Pea toki alea ʻa Fesito mo e kau fakamaau pea ne pehē, Kuo ke pehē te ke fakamaau pe ʻia Sisa? Pea te ke ʻalu koe kia Sisa. 
Pea kuo hili ʻae ʻaho niʻihi, pea haʻu ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAkilipa mo Pelenaisi ki Sesalia ke nau feʻiloaki mo Fesito. 
Pea kuo na nofo ai ʻo ʻaho lahi, pea fakahā ʻe Fesito ʻae meʻa ʻa Paula ki he tuʻi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ai ʻae tangata ʻe taha naʻe tuku pōpula ʻe Filike: 
Pea naʻe fakahā mai ia ʻi heʻeku kei ʻi Selūsalema, ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e mātuʻa ʻoe kakai Siu, ʻonau kole ke tukuange ia ke tāmateʻi. 
Ka ne u pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku ʻikai ko e anga ʻo Loma ke tomuʻa tukuange ha tangata ke mate, kaeʻoua ke fakamaau fakataha ʻaia ʻoku tukuakiʻi mo kinautolu ʻoku nau tukuakiʻi ia, pea ʻoua ke ne fakamatala ʻe ia ʻae kovi kuo tukuakiʻi ai ia. 
Pea ko ia, ʻi heʻenau haʻu ki heni, ʻo pongipongi ai, naʻaku nofo leva ʻi he nofoʻa fakamaau pea u fekau ke ʻomi ʻae tangata. 
Pea ʻi he tutuʻu hake ʻae kau tukuaki, naʻe ʻikai te nau talatalaakiʻi ia ʻi ha meʻa naʻaku ʻamanaki ki ai: 
Ka nau talatalaakiʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻi heʻenau lotu ʻanautolu, pea ki he tokotaha kuo mate ko Sisu, ka naʻe fakapapau ʻe Paula kuo moʻui ia. 
Pea koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo pe fēfeeʻi ʻae ʻeke ʻoe ngaahi meʻa pehē, ne u fehuʻi pe te ne ʻalu ki Selūsalema, ʻo fakamaau ai ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni. 
Ka ʻi he pehē ʻe Paula ʻe fakamaauʻi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻAokositusi, ko ia ne u fekau ke tuku pe ia kaeʻoua ke u ʻatu ia kia Sisa.” 
Pea pehē ʻe ʻAkilipa kia Fesito, “ʻAmusiaange ʻeau kuo u fanongo foki au ki he tangata.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te ke fanongo kiate ia ʻapongipongi.” 
Pea ʻi he ʻapongipongi, naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻAkilipa mo Pelenaisi, mo e teunga lahi ʻaupito, ʻo hū ki he potu fakamaau mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, mo e kau matāpule ʻoe kolo, pea ʻi he fekau ʻe Fesito naʻe ʻomi ʻa Paula. 
Pea pehē ʻe Fesito, “ʻE tuʻi ko ʻAkilipa, mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku tau fakataha ni, ʻoku mou mamata ki he tangata ni, ʻaia kuo kole lahi ai kiate au ʻe he kakai Siu kotoa pē ʻi Selūsalema, pea ʻi heni foki, ʻonau kalanga ʻoku ʻikai lelei ke moʻui ai pe ia. 
Ka ʻi heʻeku ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai te ne fai ha meʻa ʻe totonu ke mate ai ia, pea ʻi heʻene pehē ʻe ia ʻe fakamaauʻi pe ia ʻia ʻAokositusi, kuo maʻu hoku loto ke u tuku atu ia. 
Ka ʻoku ʻikai te u maʻu ha meʻa kuo fakapapau kiate ia ke u tohi atu ai ki heʻeku ʻeiki. Ko ia kuo u ʻomi ai ia ki homou ʻao, pea ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAkilipa, koeʻuhi ka hili hono ʻekea, te u ʻilo ai ha meʻa ke tohi. 
He ʻoku matamata vale kiate au ke tuku atu ha pōpula, kae ʻikai ke fakamatala ʻae ngaahi kovi ʻoku talatalaakiʻi ai ia.”
