[1] PEA hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho pea toe ʻalu ia ki Kapaneume; pea kuo ongo atu ʻoku ʻi he fale ia.
[2] Pea fakataha leva ʻae fuʻu tokolahi, naʻe ʻikai ke faʻa hao ʻi he fale, pe ofi ki he matapā: pea malangaʻaki ʻe ia ʻae folofola kiate kinautolu.
[3] Pea naʻe ʻomi mo kinautolu kiate ia ʻae tokotaha naʻe mahaki tete, ʻaia naʻe fata ʻe he toko fā.
[4] Pea ʻi he ʻikai te nau faʻa hao ʻo ofi kiate ia koeʻuhi ko e kakai, naʻa nau tatala ʻae ʻato ʻoe fale naʻe ʻi ai ia: pea kuo haeʻi ia, naʻa nau tukutuku hifo ʻae mohenga naʻe tokoto ai ʻae mahaki tete.
[5] Pea kuo mamata ʻa Sisu ki heʻenau tui, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he mahaki tete, “Foha, kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala.”
[6] Ka naʻe nofo ai ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau tangata tohi, ʻonau fifili ʻi honau loto, ʻo pehē,
[7] “Ko e hā ʻoku lea fie ʻOtua pehē ai ʻae tangata ni? Ko hai ʻe faʻa fakamolemole ʻae angahala ka ko e ʻOtua pe?”
[8] Pea kuo ʻiloʻi leva ʻe Sisu ʻi hono loto ʻoku pehē ʻenau fifili ʻi honau loto, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fifili ai ʻi homou loto ki he ngaahi meʻa ni?
[9] He ʻoku faingofua ʻa fē, ʻae lea ʻaki ki he mahaki tete, ‘Kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala;’ pe ko e lea, ‘Tuʻu hake, ʻo toʻo ho mohenga, mo ke ʻalu?’
[10] Ka koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻi he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻae mālohi ʻi māmani ke fakamolemole ʻae angahala,” (pea pehē ʻe ia ki he mahaki tete),
[11] “ʻOku ou pehē atu kiate koe, Tuʻu hake, ʻo toʻo ho mohenga, mo ke ʻalu ki ho fale.”
[12] Pea tuʻu hake leva ia, ʻo toʻo ʻae mohenga, pea ne ʻalu kituʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē; ko ia ne nau ofo ai kotoa pē, mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻonau pehē, “Kuo teʻeki te tau mamata ʻi ha meʻa pehē.”
[13] Pea toe ʻalu atu ia ki he matātahi; pea kātoa kiate ia ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea ne akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu.
[14] Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu, naʻa ne mamata kia Livai ko e foha ʻo ʻAlefiusi, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he tukuhauʻanga, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Muimui kiate au.” Pea tuʻu ia ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.
[15] Pea ʻi he nofo ʻa Sisu ʻi hono fale, ʻo kai, naʻe tokolahi ʻae tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala, naʻa nau nonofo mo Sisu mo ʻene kau ākonga: he naʻe tokolahi ʻakinautolu naʻe muimui ʻiate ia.
[16] Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe he kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi ʻoku ne kai mo e kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala, naʻa nau pehē ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Ko e hā ʻoku kai mo inu fakataha ai ia mo e kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala?”
[17] Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sisu ki ai, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae faitoʻo kiate kinautolu ʻoku mālōlō, ka ki he mahaki: naʻe ʻikai teu haʻu ke ui ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ka ko e angahala ke fakatomala.”
[18] Pea naʻe faʻa ʻaukai ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione mo e ākonga ʻae kau Fālesi: pea nau haʻu ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku faʻa ʻaukai ai ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione pea mo e Fālesi, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaukai hoʻo kau ākonga?”
[19] Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “E faʻa ʻaukai ʻae kāinga ʻoe tangata taʻane, ʻi he kei ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane? E ʻikai te nau faʻa ʻaukai ʻi he lolotonga ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane.
[20] Kae hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe ʻave ai ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane, pea ko e ngaahi ʻaho ko ia te nau toki ʻaukai ai.
[21] “ʻOku ʻikai foki ha taha te ne ʻai ha konga meʻa foʻou ki he kofu motuʻa: he ko e konga foʻou ʻoku ʻai ke ʻoposi ʻaki, ʻe mafaufau ai ia pea ʻe ʻāsili ai hono mahaehae.
[22] Pea ʻoku ʻikai utu ʻeha taha ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina ʻoku motuʻa; ka pehē ʻe haeʻi ʻe he uaine foʻou ʻae ngaahi hina, pea malingi ʻae uaine, pea maumau ʻae hina; ka ʻoku ʻutu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina foʻou.”
[23] Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he ngaahi ngoue uite ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate; pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu, naʻe kamata toli ʻe heʻene kau ākonga ʻae fua ʻoe uite.
[24] Pea pehē ʻe he kau Fālesi kiate ia, “Vakai, ko e hā ʻoku nau fai ai ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ngofua?”
[25] Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Naʻe ʻikai te mou lau ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Tevita, ʻi heʻene tuʻutāmaki, mo fiekaia, ʻaia mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia?
[26] ʻA ʻene hū ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻApiata ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻo ne kai ʻae mā ʻoe ʻao, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ngofua ke kai ka ko e kau taulaʻeiki pe, pea ne ʻange foki kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia?
[27] Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, Naʻe ngaohi ʻae Sāpate koeʻuhi ko e tangata, ka naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻae tangata koeʻuhi ko e Sāpate:
[28] ko ia ko e Foha ʻoe tangata ko e ʻEiki ia ʻoe Sāpate foki.”
