²⁷He ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi Selūsalema, mo honau kau pule, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻeʻilo ia, mo e leʻo ʻoe kau palōfita ʻoku lau ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate kotoa pē, kuo nau fakamoʻoni ia ʻi he fakamaauʻi ke mate.

²⁸Pea neongo ʻae ʻikai pe te nau ʻilo ha meʻa ke mate ai ia, ka naʻa nau kole kia Pailato ʻa hono tāmateʻi.

²⁹Pea hili ʻenau fakamoʻoni ʻaia kotoa pē kuo tohi kiate ia, naʻa nau vete hifo ia mei he ʻakau, ʻo tuku ki he fonualoto.

³⁰Ka naʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua mei he mate:

³¹Pea naʻe mamata kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi ʻakinautolu naʻe omi mo ia mei Kāleli ki Selūsalema, ʻaia ko ʻene kau fakamoʻoni ki he kakai.

³²Pea ʻoku ma fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae ongoongolelei, koeʻuhi ʻi he talaʻofa naʻe tuku ki he ngaahi tamai,

³³Ko ia kuo fakamoʻoni ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu ko ʻenau fānau, ʻi heʻene toe fokotuʻu ʻa Sisu; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi hono ua ʻoe Saame, ‘Ko hoku ʻAlo koe, kuo u fakatupu koe he ʻaho ni.

³⁴Pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene fokotuʻu ia mei he pekia, ke ʻoua naʻa toe foki ki he ʻauʻauha, naʻa ne lea pehē, ‘Te u tuku kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa moʻoni ʻa Tevita.’

³⁵Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai foki ʻe ia ʻi he Saame ʻe taha, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ke tuku ʻa hoʻo tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ke ʻilo ʻae ʻauʻauha.’

³⁶He kuo hili ʻae fai ʻe Tevita ʻi hono kuonga ki he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ne mohe ia, pea tanu ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae ʻauʻauha:

³⁷Ka ko ia naʻe toe fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae ʻauʻauha.

³⁸Ko ia ke ʻilo ʻekimoutolu, ʻae kau tangata ko e kāinga, ʻoku malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi he tangata ni ʻae fakamolemole ʻoe angahala:

³⁹Pea ko e meʻa ʻiate ia, ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tui, ʻoku fakatonuhiaʻi mei he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai faʻa fakatonuhia mei ai ʻe he fono ʻa Mōsese.

⁴⁰Ko ia vakai telia naʻa hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻaia ʻoku fakahā ʻi he kau palōfita;

⁴¹‘Vakai, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau luma, pea ofo, mo malaʻia: he ʻoku ou fai ha ngāue ʻi homou ngaahi ʻaho, ha ngāue ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te mou tui ki ai, neongo hono fakahā ʻe ha tangata kiate kimoutolu.”

⁴²Pea ʻi he ʻalu ʻae kakai Siu ʻi he falelotu, naʻe kole ʻae Senitaile ke malangaʻaki kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi lea ni ʻi he Sāpate ʻe haʻu.

⁴³Pea kuo tutuku ʻae kakai, naʻe muimui ʻia Paula mo Pānepasa ʻae Siu mo e kakai ului faʻa lotu tokolahi: pea naʻa na lea kiate kinautolu, ʻo akonakiʻi ke nau tuʻumaʻu ʻi he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.

⁴⁴Pea hoko ki he ʻaho Sāpate ʻe taha, naʻe meimei fakataha ʻae kolo kotoa pē, ke fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua.

⁴⁵Ka ʻi he mamata ʻae kakai Siu ki he fuʻu tokolahi, naʻa nau feinga ʻaupito, mo nau lea kehe ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Paula, ʻo fakakikihi mo lea kovi lahi.

⁴⁶Pea naʻe toki mālohi ai ʻae loto ʻo Paula mo Pānepasa, ʻo na pehē, “Naʻe totonu ke tomuʻa leaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu: ka ʻi hoʻomou tekeʻi atu ia ʻiate kimoutolu, pea fakahā ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻaonga ki he moʻui taʻengata, vakai, te ma ō ki he kakai Senitaile.

⁴⁷He kuo pehē ʻae fekau ʻae ʻEiki kiate kimautolu, Kuo u fokotuʻu koe koe maama ki he ngaahi Senitaile, pea koeʻuhi ko e moʻuiʻanga ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.”
