1 Pea ʻi he ʻalu ange ʻa [Sisu], ne mamata ia ki ha tangata naʻe fanauʻi ko e kui.

2 Pea fehuʻi ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Lāpai, ko hai naʻe fai angahala, ʻae tangata ni, pe ko ʻene mātuʻa, naʻe fanauʻi kui ai ia?”

3 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, “Naʻe ʻikai fai angahala ʻae tangata ni, pe ko ʻene mātuʻa: ka ko e meʻa ke fakahā ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻae ʻOtua.

4 ‌ʻOku totonu ke u fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻo ia naʻa ne fekau au, lolotonga ʻene kei ʻaho: ʻoku haʻu ʻae pō, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ngāue ai ha tokotaha.”

5 ‌ʻI heʻeku kei ʻi māmani ko e maama au ʻo māmani.

6 Hili ʻene lea pehē, naʻe ʻaʻanu ia ki he kelekele, ʻo ne ngaohi ʻaki ʻae ʻaʻanu ʻae ʻumea, ʻo ne pani ʻaki ʻae ʻumea ʻae mata ʻoe tangata kui,

7 ‌ʻO ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻAlu, ʻo kaukau ʻi he ano vai ko Seiloami,” (ʻa ia ko hono ʻuhinga, “Ko e fekau.”) Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ia, ʻo kaukau, pea haʻu kuo ʻā.

8 Ko ia ko e kaungāʻapi, pea mo kinautolu naʻe mamata muʻa kiate ia ʻi heʻene kui, naʻa nau pehē, “ʻIkai ko eni ia naʻe nofo ʻo kole?”

9 Pea tala ʻe he niʻihi, “Ko eni ia:” pea [lea ]ʻae niʻihi, “ʻOku hangē ko ia:” ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au ia.”

10 “Ko ia naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, naʻe fakaʻā fēfeeʻi ho mata?”

11 Pea talaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e tangata ʻoku ui ko Sisu naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ʻumea, ʻo ne pani hoku mata, pea ne pehē kiate au, ‘ʻAlu ki he ano vai ko Seiloami, ʻo kaukau:’ pea naʻaku ʻalu, ʻo kaukau, pea u ʻā ai.”

12 Pea nau pehē ai kiate ia, “Kofaʻā ia?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻiloa.”

13 Naʻa nau ʻomi ki he kau Fālesi ʻaia naʻe kui.

14 Pea ko e ʻaho Sāpate ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ai ʻe Sisu ʻae ʻumea, ʻo ne fakaʻā hono mata.

15 Pea fehuʻi foki ʻae kau Fālesi kiate ia, pe naʻe fēfē hono fakaʻā. Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ‘Naʻe ʻai ʻe ia ʻae ʻumea ki hoku mata, pea u kaukau, pea ʻoku ou ʻā.”

16 Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe he niʻihi ʻoe kau Fālesi, “ʻOku ʻikai mei he ʻOtua ʻae tangata ni, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokanga ki he ʻaho Sāpate.” Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “ʻE faʻa fai fēfeeʻi ʻae ngaahi mana pehē ʻe ha angahala? Pea naʻa nau fakakikihi ai.”

17 Pea naʻa nau toe fehuʻi ki he tangata kui, “Ko e hā hoʻo lau kiate ia, ʻi heʻene fakaʻā ho mata?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e palōfita ia.”

18 Ka naʻe ʻikai tui ʻae kakai Siu naʻe kui ia, pea kuo ʻā, kaeʻoua ke nau ui ʻae mātuʻa ʻo ia kuo fakaʻā.

19 Pea nau fehuʻi kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoʻomo tama eni, ʻoku mo lau naʻe fanauʻi kui? Pea ʻoku ʻa fēfē eni?”

20 Pea leaange ʻene mātuʻa kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ma ʻilo ko ʻema tama eni, pea naʻe fanauʻi ʻoku kui:

21 Ka ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ʻā ai ni ia, ʻoku ʻikai te ma ʻilo; pea ʻoku ʻikai te ma ʻilo pe ko hai kuo fakaʻā hono mata; ka ʻoku lahi ia: fehuʻi ki ai: ke lea ia kiate ia.”

22 Naʻe pehē ʻae lea ʻa ʻene mātuʻa, he naʻa na manavahē ki he kakai Siu: he kuo alea pau ʻae kakai Siu, kapau ʻe ai ha tokotaha te ne fakahā ko e Kalaisi ia, ʻe kapusi ia mei he falelotu.

23 Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe heʻene mātuʻa, “ʻOku lahi ia; fehuʻi ki ai.”

24 Pea naʻa nau toe ui ʻae tangata naʻe kui, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Tuku ki he ʻOtua ʻae fakamālō: ʻoku mau ʻilo ko e angahala ʻae tangata ni.”

25 Pea leaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko ha angahala ia pe ʻikai, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo: ko e meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ou ʻilo, naʻaku kui, ka ko eni ʻoku ou ʻā.”

26 Pea toe fehuʻi ai ʻakinautolu kiate ia, “Ko e hā naʻa ne fai kiate koe? Naʻe fēfeeʻi ʻene fakaʻā ho mata?”

27 Pea leaange ia kiate kinautolu, “Kuo ʻosi ʻeku tala kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai te mou ongoʻi: ko e hā ʻoku mou toe fie fanongo ai? Te mou ului ko ʻene kau ākonga foki?”

28 Pea nau taukaea ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko ʻene ākonga ʻa koe; ka ko e kau ākonga ʻa Mōsese ʻakimautolu.

29 ‌ʻOku mau ʻilo naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Mōsese: ka ko e tangata ni, ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo pe ʻoku mei fē ia.”

30 Pea leaange ʻae tangata, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ta ko e meʻa fakamanavahē eni, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo pe ʻoku haʻu ia mei fē, ka kuo ne fakaʻā hoku mata.

31 ‌ʻOku tau ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae kau angahala: ka ʻoka lotu ha tangata ki he ʻOtua, pea fai hono finangalo, ʻoku ne ongoʻi ia.

32 Talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻo māmani ʻoku teʻeki fanongo naʻe ai ha tangata kuo fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻo ha tokotaha kuo fanauʻi kui. (aiōn g165)

33 Ka ne ʻikai ʻi he ʻOtua ʻae tangata ni, ʻe ʻikai faʻa fai ʻe ia ha meʻa.”

34 Pea leaange ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Naʻa ke tupu tofu pe ʻi he ngaahi angahala, pea ʻoku ke akoʻi ʻakimautolu?” Pea naʻa nau kapusi ia kituʻa.

35 Pea ongoʻi ʻe Sisu kuo nau kapusi ia kituʻa: pea ne toki ʻilo ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke tui ki he ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua?”

36 Pea leaange ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ko hai ia, koeʻuhi ke u tui kiate ia?”

37 Pea tala ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kuo ke mamata kiate ia, pea ko ia ia ʻoku talanoa kiate koe.”

38 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ou tui. Pea naʻa ne hū kiate ia.

39 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he fakamaau kuo u haʻu ki māmani, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai mamata ke nau mamata; pea ke kui ʻakinautolu ʻoku mamata.”

40 Pea fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ni ʻae niʻihi ʻoe Fālesi naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻonau pehē ki ai, “ʻOku kui ʻakimautolu foki?”

41 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ka ne kui ʻakimoutolu, pehē, ʻe ʻikai haʻamou angahala ka ko eni ʻoku mou pehē, ʻOku mau ʻā ko ia ʻoku maʻu pe hoʻomou angahala.”
