1 Pea naʻe ai ha tangata ʻi he kau Fālesi, ko Nikotimasi hono hingoa, ko e ʻeiki [ia ]ʻi he kakai Siu.
2 Pea naʻe haʻu ia kia Sisu ʻi he poʻuli, ʻo ne pehē, “Lāpai, ʻoku mau ʻilo ko e akonaki koe kuo haʻu mei he ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku faʻa fai ʻae ngaahi mana ni ʻoku ke fai, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻae ʻOtua.”
3 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate koe, Kapau ʻe ʻikai fanauʻi foʻou ha tangata, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mamata ia ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”
4 Pea pehē ʻe Nikotimasi kiate ia, “ʻE faʻa fanauʻi fēfeeʻi ʻae tangata ʻoku motuʻa? ʻE toe faʻa hū ia ki he manāva ʻo ʻene faʻē, pea fanauʻi?”
5 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate koe, Kapau ʻe ʻikai fanauʻi ʻae tangata ʻi he vai pea mo e Laumālie, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa hū ia ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
6 Ko ia kuo fanauʻi ʻi he kakano, ko e kakano ia; pea ko ia kuo fanauʻi ʻi he Laumālie, ko e laumālie ia.
7 ʻOua te ke ofo ʻi heʻeku tala kiate koe, ʻOku totonu ke mou fanauʻi foʻou.
8 ʻOku maʻili ʻae matangi ko hono faʻiteliha pe, pea ʻoku ke fanongo ki hono mumuhu ʻo ia, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo pe ʻoku haʻu mei fē, pe ʻalu ki fē ia: ʻoku pehē pe ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku fanauʻi ʻi he Laumālie.”
9 Pea leaange ʻa Nikotimasi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku fēfē nai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?”
10 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “He ko e akonaki koe ʻi ʻIsileli, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻiloa ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?
11 Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate koe, ʻOku mau lea ʻaki ʻaia ʻoku mau ʻilo, ʻo fakapapau ʻaia kuo mau mamata; ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou maʻu ʻemau fakamoʻoni.
12 Kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui ʻi heʻeku tala kiate kimoutolu ʻae meʻa ʻoe māmani, ʻe fēfē hoʻomou tui, ʻo kapau teu tala kiate kimoutolu ʻae meʻa ʻoe langi?
13 Pea ʻoku teʻeki ai ʻalu hake ha tangata ki he langi, ka ko ia pe naʻe ʻalu hifo mei he langi, ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he langi.”
14 Pea hangē naʻe hiki hake ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngata ʻi he toafa, ʻe pehē hono hiki ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki ʻolunga:
15 Koeʻuhi ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku tui kiate ia ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha ia, kae maʻu ʻae moʻui taʻengata. (aiōnios )
16 He naʻe ʻofa pehē ʻae ʻOtua ki māmani, naʻa ne foaki hono ʻAlo pe taha naʻe fakatupu, koeʻuhi ko ia kotoa pē ʻe tui kiate ia ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha, kae maʻu ʻae moʻui taʻengata. (aiōnios )
17 He naʻe ʻikai fekau ʻe he ʻOtua hono ʻAlo ki māmani ke fakamalaʻia ʻa māmani: ka koeʻuhi ke moʻui ʻa māmani ʻiate ia.
18 Ko ia ʻoku tui kiate ia, ʻoku ʻikai fakamalaʻia ia: ka ko ia ʻoku ʻikai tui, ʻoku fakamalaʻia ni ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai tui ia ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻAlo pe taha naʻe tupu ʻi he ʻOtua.
19 Pea ko e malaʻiaʻanga eni, koeʻuhi kuo haʻu ʻae maama ki māmani, pea ʻofa lahi ʻae kakai ki he poʻuli ʻi he maama, koeʻuhi ʻoku kovi ʻenau ngaahi ngāue.
20 He ko ia fulipē ʻoku fai kovi ʻoku fehiʻa ki he maama, pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻu ia ki he maama, telia naʻa fakahā ai ʻene ngaahi ngāue.
21 Ka ko ia ʻoku fai ki he moʻoni, ʻoku haʻu ia ki he maama, koeʻuhi ke fakahā ai ʻene ngaahi ngāue, ʻoku fai ia ʻi he ʻOtua.
22 Pea hili eni, naʻe haʻu ʻa Sisu mo ʻene kau ākonga ki he fonua ko Siutea; pea nofo ai mo kinautolu, ʻo fai papitaiso.
23 Pea naʻe fai papitaiso ʻa Sione foki ʻi ʻEnoni ʻo ofi ki Selemi, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻi ai ʻae vai lahi: pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai, ʻo papitaiso.
24 He naʻe teʻeki ai ʻave ʻa Sione ki he fale fakapōpula.
25 Pea naʻe kikihi ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione mo e kau Siu ki he fakamaʻa.
26 Pea naʻa nau haʻu kia Sione ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Lāpai, ko ia ia naʻe ʻiate koe ʻituʻa Sioatani, ʻaia naʻa ke fakamoʻoni ki ai, vakai, ʻoku fai papitaiso ʻe ia, pea ʻoku ʻalu ange ʻae kakai kotoa pē kiate ia.”
27 Pea leaange ʻa Sione, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai faʻa maʻu ʻe ha tangata ha meʻa, ka ʻi hono foaki ia kiate ia mei he langi.
28 ʻOku mou fakamoʻoni kiate au naʻaku pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ko e Kalaisi au, ka kuo fekau au ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia.’
29 Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae taʻahine, ko e tangata taʻane ia: ka ko e kāinga ʻoe tangata taʻane ʻoku tuʻu ʻo fanongo kiate ia, ʻoku fiefia lahi ia ko e meʻa ʻi he leʻo ʻoe tangata taʻane: ko ia ko ʻeku fiefia ni kuo kakato.
30 ʻE fakaʻaʻau ia ki muʻa, ka te u fakaʻaʻau au ki mui.”
31 Ko ia ʻoku haʻu mei ʻolunga, ʻoku māʻolunga taha pe ia: ko ia ʻoku mei he māmani, ʻoku fakamaama ia, pea ʻoku lea ia ki he māmani: ko ia ʻoku haʻu mei he langi, ʻoku māʻolunga taha pe ia.
32 Pea ko e meʻa kuo ne mamata mo ongoʻi, ko ia ʻoku ne fakamoʻoni ki ai; ka ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻe ha tangata ʻene fakamoʻoni.
33 Ko ia kuo ne tui ki heʻene fakamoʻoni, kuo ne ʻai ki ai hono fakaʻilonga ʻoku moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua.
34 He ko ia kuo fekau ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻoku ne lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai tuku fuofua ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae Laumālie [kiate ia].
35 ʻOku ʻofa ʻae Tamai ki he ʻAlo, pea kuo ne tuku ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ki hono nima.
36 Ko ia ʻoku tui ki he ʻAlo, ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae moʻui taʻengata: pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai tui ki he ʻAlo, ʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki he moʻui; ka ʻoku nofo pe kiate ia ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻOtua. (aiōnios )
