¹³Pea ʻi he angi iiki ʻae matangi tonga, pea nau pehē, kuo nau lavaʻi ia, naʻa nau fusi taula, ʻo folau ʻo ofi ki Keliti.

¹⁴Ka kuo fuofuoloa siʻi pē, pea puke ʻae matangi mālohi, ʻoku ui ko e “ʻUlokitone.”

¹⁵Pea ʻi he moʻua ai ʻae vaka, mo e ʻikai faʻa fakatauala, naʻa mau hafu ai.

¹⁶Pea ʻi heʻemau folau ʻo fakaū ʻi he motu ʻoku ui ko Kalauta, naʻe faingataʻa ʻaupito ʻemau maʻu mai ʻae vaka fokotuʻu:

¹⁷Pea kuo nau fusi hake ia, pea nau tāliu, ʻo haʻihaʻi ʻae vaka: pea tuku fanā, ko e manavahē naʻa toka ʻae vaka ʻi he ʻoneʻone holo, pea mau hafu pe.

¹⁸Pea ʻi heʻemau mātuʻaki tōmohopo ʻi he afā, ʻo pongipongi ai, naʻa nau tolo;

¹⁹Pea ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, naʻa nau laku ʻaki honau nima ʻae alanga vaka.

²⁰Pea ʻi he ʻikai hā mai ʻae laʻā pe ko e fetuʻu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi, pea ʻalo ʻae afā, naʻe mole ʻiate kimautolu ʻae ʻamanaki ki he moʻui.

²¹Pea kuo fuoloa mo e ʻaukai pē, pea toki tuʻu hake ʻa Paula ʻi honau ʻao, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAe kau matāpule, naʻe totonu hoʻomou tui mai kiate au, ke ʻoua naʻa fusi taula ʻi Keliti, ke hoko ai ʻae kovi mo e maumau ni.

²²Ka ko eni, ʻoku ou pehē atu kiate kimoutolu, “ke mou fiemālie: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai mate ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu, ka ko e vaka pē.

²³He naʻe tuʻu ofi mai kiate au ʻi he poōni ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻana au, pea ko ia ʻoku ou tauhi.

²⁴‌ʻO ne pehē mai, ‘ʻE Paula, ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē; he te ke aʻu atu koe ki he ʻao ʻo Sisa:

²⁵Ko ia ʻae kau matāpule, ke mou fiemālie: he ʻoku ou tui ki he ʻOtua, ʻe fai ʻo hangē ko e meʻa kuo tala mai.”

²⁶Ka ʻe tūkia ʻakitautolu ʻi ha motu ʻe taha.

²⁷Pea kuo kakato ʻae pō ʻe hongofulu ma fā, pea kuo mau hafu fano ʻi he tahi ʻo ʻAtilia, pea tuʻuapō nai, pea mahalo ʻae kau vaka kuo nau ofi ki ha fonua;

²⁸Pea naʻa nau tukutuku, pea ʻilo ko e ofa ʻe uangokumi: pea kuo nau ngaholo siʻi atu, pea toe tukutuku, pea ʻilo ko e ofa ʻe tekumi mā nima.

²⁹Pea naʻa nau manavahē telia naʻa mau toka ʻi ha hakau, pea nau lī ʻae taula ʻe fā ʻi he taumuli, mo nau fakaʻamu ki he ʻaho.

³⁰Pea naʻe fai ke feholaki ʻae kau kauvaka mei he vaka, he naʻa nau tuku hifo ʻae vaka fokotuʻu ki tahi, ʻo hangē ko haʻanau fie ʻave taula ki he taumuʻa;

³¹Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Paula ki he ʻeikitau mo e kau tau, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai nofo ʻakinautolu ni ʻi he vaka, ʻe ʻikai te mou moʻui.”

³²Pea naʻe toki tutuʻu ʻe he kau tau ʻae maea ʻoe vaka fokotuʻu, pea ʻauhia ia.

³³Pea kuo ofi ʻae ʻaho, pea kole ʻa Paula kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ke nau kai, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hono hongofulu ma fā eni ʻoe ʻaho mo hoʻomou nofo, ʻo taʻefai-hoʻomou-keinanga.

³⁴Pea ko ia ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu ke mou kai; ke mālohi ai homou sino: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tō ʻi he ʻulu ʻo homou tokotaha ha tuʻoni louʻulu ʻe taha.”

³⁵Pea kuo pehē ʻene lea, pea ne toʻo ʻae mā, ʻo fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē: pea kuo ne pakiʻi ia, pea ne kamata kai.

³⁶Pea naʻa nau toki fiefia kotoa pē, pea kai foki ʻekinautolu.

³⁷Pea naʻa mau toko uangeau mo e toko fitungofulu ma toko ono ʻi he vaka.

³⁸Pea hili ʻenau fakamaʻamaʻa ʻae vaka, ʻo tolo ʻae uite ki tahi.
