Ngāue 17:2-14

²Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Paula kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻene faʻa fai, pea ne malangaʻaki ʻae ngaahi tohi kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate ʻe tolu,

³“ʻO fakamatala mo fakamoʻoni, naʻe taau mo Kalaisi ke mamahi, mo toetuʻu mei he pekia; pea ko Sisu eni, ʻoku ou malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ko e Kalaisi ia.”

⁴Pea naʻe tui honau niʻihi, ʻonau kau taha mo Paula mo Sailosi; pea mo e tokolahi ʻi he Kiliki kuo lotu, pea mo e kau fineʻeiki tokolahi.

⁵Ka ko e kakai Siu naʻe ʻikai tui, naʻa nau meheka, pea naʻa nau ʻave mo kinautolu ʻae kau siana pauʻu, pea tānaki ʻae tokolahi, ʻonau veuveuki ʻae kolo, pea feʻohofi ki he fale ʻo Sesoni, ʻo kumi ke ʻomi ʻakinaua kituʻa ki he kakai.

⁶Pea ʻi he ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻakinaua, naʻa nau toho ʻa Sesoni mo e kāinga niʻihi ki he kau fakamaau ʻoe kolo, mo nau kalanga, Ko kinautolu kuo fulihi ʻa māmani, kuo nau haʻu foki ki heni;

⁷Pea kuo maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻe Sesoni pea ʻoku nau fai kehe kotoa pē mo e ngaahi fono ʻa Sisa, mo nau pehē, ‘ʻOku ai ʻae tuʻi ʻe taha, ko Sisu.’

⁸Pea naʻa nau fakamanavahēʻi ʻae kakai mo e kau fakamaau ʻoe kolo, ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.

⁹Pea ʻi heʻenau maʻu ʻae tuku lea totongi ʻa Sesoni mo hono toe ʻoe kāinga, naʻa nau tukuange ʻakinautolu.

¹⁰Pea naʻe tukuange leva ʻe he kāinga ʻa Paula mo Sailosi ke na ō poʻuli ki Pelea: pea kuo na aʻu ki ai, pea na hū ki he falelotu ʻoe kakai Siu.

¹¹Pea naʻe loto lelei ʻakinautolu ni ʻiate kinautolu ʻi Tesalonika, he naʻa nau maʻu ʻae folofola mo e loto fiefia, ʻonau kumi ʻi he ngaahi tohi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ki hono moʻoni ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni.

¹²Ko ia naʻe tui ai ʻae tokolahi ʻiate kinautolu; pea mo e kau fineʻeiki ʻi he kakai Kiliki, pea mo e kau tangata tokolahi.

¹³Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe he kakai Siu ʻi Tesalonika kuo malangaʻaki ʻe Paula ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻi Pelea, naʻa nau ʻalu ki ai, ʻo fakamaveuveuʻi ʻae kakai.

¹⁴Pea tukuange leva ʻe he kāinga ʻa Paula ke hala tahi ia ʻo ʻalu: ka naʻe nofo pe ʻi ai ʻa Sailosi mo Timote.
