1 Naʻe ʻi ai ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kuonga ko ia, naʻa nau fakahā kiate ia ʻae kau Kāleli, ʻakinautolu naʻe hui ʻaki ʻe Pailato honau toto ʻa ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau.
2 Pea folofola ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou mahalo naʻe angahala lahi ʻae kau Kāleli ko ia ʻi he kakai Kāleli kotoa pē, koeʻuhi naʻe hoko ʻae meʻa pehē kiate kinautolu?
3 ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakatomala, te mou malaʻia kotoa pē foki.
4 Pe ko e toko hongofulu ma toko valu ko ia, naʻe taʻomia ʻi he holo ʻae fale leʻo ʻo Seiloame, pea mate ai ʻakinautolu, ʻoku mou mahalo ko e kau angahala lahi taha pe ʻakinautolu ʻi he kakai fulipē naʻe nofo ʻi Selūsalema?
5 ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakatomala, te mou malaʻia kotoa pē foki.”
6 Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki foki ʻae fakatātā ni; “Naʻe tō ʻi he ngoue vaine ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻae ʻakau ko e fiki; pea haʻu ia ʻo kumi fua mei ai, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻiloia.
7 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki he tauhi ngoue vaine, ‘Vakai, ko e taʻu ʻe tolu kuo u haʻu ʻo kumi fua ʻi he ʻakau ko e fiki ni, kae ʻikai ʻilo ia: tā hifo ia; ko e hā ʻoku ne fakataʻeʻaonga ai ʻae kelekele?’
8 Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, ‘ʻEiki, tuku ai pe ia ʻi he taʻu ni foki, kaeʻoua ke u keli tākai, mo taufetuku ki ai.
9 Heiʻilo ʻe toki fua ia, pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, pea ke toki tā hifo ia.’”
10 Pea naʻe ako ia ʻi he falelotu ʻe taha ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.
11 Pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ha fefine naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie fakamahaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma valu, pea naʻe mapelu ia ki lalo, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke faʻa tuʻu hake ia.
12 Pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne ui ia, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Fefine, kuo veteki koe mei hoʻo mahaki.”
