17 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Ko e talanoa hā ia ʻoku mo fetalanoaʻaki ʻi hoʻomo fononga, pea mo mamahi ai?”
18 Pea ko e tokotaha, ko Kaliopasi hono hingoa, naʻe lea ʻo pehē kiate ia, naʻa ko Koe pe ʻoku nofo ʻi Selūsalema pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo hoko ʻi ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ni?
19 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa?” Pea na pehē kiate ia, “Kia Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti, ko e palōfita naʻe mālohi ʻi he ngāue mo e lea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua mo e kakai kotoa pē:
20 Pea mo e tukuange ia ʻe homau kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau fakamaau ke tāmateʻi, pea kuo tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.
21 Ka naʻa mau falala ko ia ia te ne huhuʻi ʻa ʻIsileli: kaeʻumaʻā eni kotoa pē, ko hono ʻaho tolu eni talu hono fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
22 ʻIo, pea fakaofo kiate kimautolu ʻe homau kau fefine niʻihi, naʻa nau ʻalu hengihengi ki he fonualoto;
23 Pea ʻi he ʻikai te nau ʻilo hono sino, naʻa nau haʻu, ʻo pehē, kuo nau mamata foki ki he kau ʻāngelo, pea nau pehē, kuo moʻui ia.
24 Pea ko homau niʻihi naʻe ʻalu ki he fonualoto, ʻonau ʻilo ʻo hangē pe ko ia naʻe fakahā ʻe he kau fefine: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata kiate ia.”
25 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “ʻAe kau vale, mo loto tuai ke tui ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he kau palōfita:
26 He ʻikai naʻe totonu kia Kalaisi ke kātaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea hū ai ki hono nāunau?”
27 Pea kamata ia meia Mōsese, ʻo hoko ki he kau palōfita kotoa pē, ʻa ʻene fakamatala kiate kinaua mei he tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku kau kiate ia.
28 Pea kuo nau ofi ki he potu kakai naʻa nau ō ki ai; pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻo hangē naʻe fie ʻalu atu pe.
29 Ka naʻa na taʻofi ia, ʻo pehē, “Ke tau nonofo; he kuo ofi ʻae poʻuli, pea kuo tei ʻosi ʻae ʻaho.” Pea naʻe hū ia ki loto, ke nau nonofo.
30 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau nofo mo ia ʻi he kai, naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae mā, ʻo ne tāpuaki, pea ne tofi ʻo ʻatu kiate kinaua.
