Siona.
4.
Ka naʻe mamahi ʻaupito ai ʻa Siona, pea lahi ʻaupito ʻa ʻene ʻita. 
Pea naʻa ne lotu kia Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ʻikai naʻaku pehē, ʻe pehē pe, ʻi heʻeku kei ʻi hoku fonua? Ko ia ia naʻaku hola leva ai ki Tasisi; he naʻaku ʻilo ko e ʻOtua angaʻofa koe, pea faʻa ʻaloʻofa, ʻo tuai ki he houhau, pea angalelei ʻaupito, mo ke faʻa liliu mei he kovi. 
Ko ia ko eni, ʻe Sihova ʻoku ou kole kiate koe toʻo ʻa ʻeku moʻui meiate au, he ʻoku lelei lahi kiate au ke u mate ʻi heʻeku moʻui.” 
¶ Pea naʻe toki folofola ʻa Sihova, “ʻOku lelei koā ʻa hoʻo ʻita?” 
Ko ia naʻe mahuʻi atu ʻa Siona mei he kolo, pea ne nofo ki he potu fakahahake ʻoe kolo, pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻi ai! ʻae fale louʻakau, pea ne nofo ia ʻi lalo ʻi hono malumalu, ko ʻene tatali kaeʻoua ke ne mamata pe ko e hā ʻe hoko ki he kolo. 
Pea naʻe teuteu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻae ʻakau, mo ne ngaohi ia ke tupu hake ʻo fakamalumalu ʻa Siona, koeʻuhi ke malu ai hono ʻulu, ke ʻoua naʻa ne mamahi. Ko ia naʻe fiefia ʻaupito ʻa Siona koeʻuhi ko e ʻakau. 
Ka ʻi he hoko ki he pongipongi ʻoe ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe teuteu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae kelemutu, pea ne maumauʻi ʻae ʻakau, pea mae ai ia. 
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hopo hake ʻae laʻā, naʻe teuteu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae matangi vela mei he potu hahake; pea ne vela hifo ʻae laʻā ki he ʻulu ʻo Siona, ko ia ne pongia ai ia, pea naʻa ne holi ʻi hono loto ke ne mate, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku lelei hake ʻeku mate ʻi heʻeku moʻui.” 
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kia Siona, “ʻOku lelei koā ʻa hoʻo ʻita koeʻuhi ko e ʻakau?” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOku ou tonuhia ʻi heʻeku ʻita, ʻo aʻu ki he mate.” 
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kuo ke ʻofa mamahi ki he ʻakau, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ngāue ki ai pe te ke fakatupu; ʻaia ne tupu hake ʻi he pō ʻe taha, pea mate ʻi he pō ʻe taha: 
Pea ʻoku ʻikai totonu koā ʻa ʻeku fakamoʻui ʻa Ninive, ʻae kolo lahi ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ai ʻae kakai tokolahi hake ʻi he toko ono mano, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ʻilo honau nima toʻomataʻu mei honau nima toʻohema; pea ʻi ai mo e fanga manu lahi ʻaupito?”
