Maʻake 5:23-36

²³‌ʻO ne kole fakamātoato kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoku ʻofefine siʻi ʻoku tei mate: haʻu, ʻo hili ho nima kiate ia, koeʻuhi ke moʻui ai: pea ʻe moʻui ia.”

²⁴Pea naʻa na ō mo Sisu; pea muimui kiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi, ʻo fakaʻefihia ia.

²⁵Pea ko e fefine ʻe tokotaha, naʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻae taʻu ʻoe ʻau toto ʻiate ia,

²⁶Pea kuo lahi ʻae meʻa kuo ne kātaki ʻi he kau faitoʻo tokolahi, pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ki muʻa, kae ʻāsili pe hono mahaki.

²⁷Kuo fanongo ia kia Sisu, pea haʻu mo e fononga mei mui, ʻo ala ki hono kofu:

²⁸He kuo pehē ʻe ia, “Kapau teu ala pe ki hono kofu, te u moʻui ai.”

²⁹Pea matuʻu fakafokifā pe ʻae ʻau ʻa hono toto; pea ne ongoʻi ʻi hono sino kuo fakamoʻui ia mei he mahaki ko ia.

³⁰Pea kuo ʻilo loto ʻe Sisu kuo ʻalu atu ʻiate ia ʻae mālohi, pea ne tafoki ia ki he kakai, mo ne pehē, “Ko hai naʻe ala ki hoku kofu?”

³¹Pea pehēange ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “ʻOku ke vakai ki he tokolahi ʻoku fakaʻefi koe, pea ʻoku ke pehē, ‘Ko hai kuo ala kiate au?’”

³²Pea vakai foli ʻe ia ke mamata kiate ia kuo ne fai ʻae meʻa ni.

³³Ka kuo ʻilo ʻe he fefine ʻaia kuo fai kiate ia, pea haʻu ia, ʻoku manavahē mo tetetete, ʻo tō ki lalo ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo ne tala kiate ia ʻae moʻoni kotoa pē.

³⁴Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOfefine, kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui; ʻalu ʻi he fiemālie, pea ke moʻui mei hoʻo mahaki.”

³⁵Kae lolotonga ʻene lea, mo e haʻu ʻae niʻihi mei he fale ʻoe pule ʻoe falelotu, ʻonau pehē, “Kuo pekia ho ʻofefine: ko e hā ʻoku ke kei fakafiu ai ʻae ʻEiki?”

³⁶Pea kuo fanongo leva ʻe Sisu ki he lea naʻe lea ʻaki, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he pule ʻoe falelotu, “ʻOua te ke manavahē, ka ke tui pe.”
