‌ʻI he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe uike, naʻe haʻu hengihengi ʻa Mele Makitaline ki he fonualoto, ʻi he kei fakapoʻuli, ʻo ne mamata kuo ʻave ʻae maka mei he fonualoto. 
Pea lele ia, ʻo haʻu kia Saimone Pita, mo e ākonga ʻe tokotaha, ʻaia naʻe ʻofa ai ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Kuo nau ʻave ʻae ʻEiki mei he fonualoto, pea ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo pe kuo nau tuku ki fē ia.” 
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻa Pita, mo e ākonga ko ia ʻe taha, ʻo na hoko atu ki he fonualoto. 
Pea na feleleʻi fakataha: pea lī ʻa Pita ʻe he ākonga ko ia ʻe taha, pea tomuʻa hoko ia ki he fonualoto. 
Pea tulolo ki lalo ia, pea mamata kuo tuku ʻae ʻu kofu ka naʻe ʻikai hū ia ki ai. 
Pea haʻu muimui ʻiate ia ʻa Saimone Pita, pea hū ia ki he fonualoto, ʻo mamata kuo tuku ai ʻae ʻu kofu, 
Mo e holoholo naʻe faʻu ʻaki hono ʻulu, naʻe ʻikai tuku fakataha mo e ʻu kofu, ka kuo fatufatu, ʻo tuku kehe ia. 
Pea toki hū atu ʻae ākonga ko ia ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe fuofua hoko ki he fonualoto, pea mamata ia, pea tui. 
He ʻoku teʻeki ai ke nau ʻilo ʻae tohi, kuo totonu ke toetuʻu ia mei he mate. 
Pea toe ō ʻae ongo ākonga ki hona ʻapi. 
¶ Ka naʻe tuʻu tangi pe ʻa Mele ʻituʻa fonualoto: pea ʻi heʻene tangi, naʻe tulolo ia ki lalo ke fakaasi ki he fonualoto. 
Pea naʻe mamata ia ki he ʻāngelo ʻe toko ua ʻoku kofu hinehina, mo nofo, ko e tokotaha ʻi he fofonga, mo e tokotaha ʻi he vaʻe, ʻi he potu ko ia naʻe tokoto ai ʻae sino ʻo Sisu. 
Pea naʻa na pehē kiate ia, “Fefine, ko e hā ʻoku ke tangi ai? Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinaua, Koeʻuhi kuo nau ʻave hoku ʻEiki, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe kuo nau tuku ki fē ia.” 
Pea hili ʻene lea ko ia, pea tafoki ia ki mui, pea mamata ia kia Sisu ʻoku tuʻu mai, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ko Sisu ia. 
Pea lea ʻa Sisu kiate ia, “Fefine, ko e hā ʻoku ke tangi ai? Ko hai ʻoku ke kumi?” Pea ne mahalo ko e tauhi ngoue ia, pea ne pehē ki ai, “ʻEiki, kapau kuo ke ʻave ia mei heni, tala mai kiate au pe kuo ke tuku ki fē ia, pea te u ʻave ia.” 
Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Mele.” Pea ne tafoki mai, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Lāponi;” ko hono ʻuhinga, “ʻEiki.” 
Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa ala kiate au; he ʻoku teʻeki ai te u ʻalu hake ki heʻeku Tamai: ka ke ʻalu ki hoku kāinga, ʻo tala kiate kinautolu, ʻoku ou ʻalu hake ki heʻeku Tamai, mo hoʻomou Tamai; pea ki hoku ʻOtua, mo homou ʻOtua.” 
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Mele Makitaline, ʻo fakahā ki he kau ākonga ʻa ʻene mamata ki he ʻEiki, pea kuo ne lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate ia. 
¶ Pea kuo efiafi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ko e ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻi he uike, kuo kātoa ʻae kau ākonga, pea tāpuni ʻae ngaahi matapā, ʻi heʻenau manavahē ki he kakai Siu, mo e ha ʻa Sisu, ʻo tuʻu ʻi loto, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Fiemālie pe ʻakimoutolu.” 
Pea hili ʻene lea pehē, naʻe fakahā ʻe ia kiate kinautolu hono nima mo hono vakavaka. Pea toki fiefia ʻae kau ākonga ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he ʻEiki. 
Pea toe lea ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, Fiemālie pe ʻakimoutolu: ʻo hangē ko e fekau au ʻe he Tamai, pea ʻoku pehē ʻeku fekauʻi ʻakimoutolu. 
Pea hili ʻene lea ni, pea mānava hifo ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “Maʻu ʻekimoutolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni: 
Ko e angahala ʻoe kakai fulipē te mou fakamolemole, ʻoku fakamolemole ia kiate kinautolu; pea ko e angahala ʻo ia fulipē ʻoku mou tuku pe, ʻoku tuku pe ia.” 
¶ Ka ko Tōmasi, naʻe ui ko Titimasi, ko e tokotaha ʻi he toko hongofulu ma toko ua, naʻe ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu, ʻi he haʻu ʻa Sisu. 
Ko ia naʻe tala ai ʻe he kau ākonga niʻihi kiate ia, “Kuo mau mamata ki he ʻEiki.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai te u mamata ʻi hono nima ʻae mataʻi faʻo, pea ʻai hoku tuhu ki he mataʻi faʻo, mo velo hoku nima ki hono vakavaka, ʻe ʻikai te u tui.” 
¶ Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe valu, naʻe toe kātoa ʻene kau ākonga, pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Tōmasi: pea tāpuni ʻae ngaahi matapā, mo e haʻu ʻa Sisu, ʻo tuʻu ʻi loto, ʻo ne pehē, “Fiemālie pe ʻakimoutolu.” 
Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kia Tōmasi, “Mafao mai ho tuhu, pea vakai mai ki hoku nima; pea tuku mai ho nima, ʻo velo ia ki hoku vakavaka: pea ʻoua naʻa ke taʻetui, kae tui.” 
Pea leaange ʻa Tōmasi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko hoku ʻEiki mo hoku ʻOtua.” 
Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Tōmasi, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo mamata kiate au, ko ia kuo ke tui ai: ʻoku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai mamata, kae tui.” 
¶ Pea naʻe fai moʻoni ʻe Sisu mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga kehekehe ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻene kau ākonga, ʻaia kuo ʻikai tohi ʻi he tohi ni: 
Ka kuo tohi eni, koeʻuhi ke mou tui ko e Kalaisi ʻa Sisu, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua; pea ke mou maʻu ʻi hoʻomou tui ʻae moʻui ʻi hono huafa.
