Sione 11:29-44

²⁹Pea ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ia, naʻa ne tuʻu hake leva, ʻo haʻu kiate ia.

³⁰Pea kuo teʻeki hoko ʻa Sisu ki he kolo, ka naʻe ʻi he potu ko ia naʻe fakafetaulaki ai ʻa Māʻata kiate ia.

³¹Pea ko e kau Siu naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi he fale, ʻonau fakafiemālieʻi ia, ʻi heʻenau vakai ʻoku tuʻu fakavave ʻa Mele, ʻo ʻalu kituʻa, naʻa nau muimui ai, ʻonau pehē, ʻOku ʻalu ia ki he faʻitoka ke tangi ai.

³²Pea kuo ʻalu ange ʻa Mele ki he potu ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne mamata ki ai, pea tōmapeʻe ia ki hono vaʻe, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ka ne ke ʻi heni, pehē, ne ʻikai mate hoku tuongaʻane.”

³³Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu kiate ia ʻoku tangi, pea tangi foki mo e kakai Siu naʻe haʻu mo ia, pea toʻe ia ʻi he laumālie, pea mamahi ia,

³⁴‌ʻO ne pehē, “Kuo mou tuku ʻi fē ia? Pea nau tala kiate ia, ʻEiki, haʻu ʻo mamata.”

³⁵Pea tangi ʻa Sisu.

³⁶Pea lea ai ʻae kau Siu, “Vakai ki hono lahi ʻo ʻene ʻofa kiate ia.”

³⁷Pea lea ʻa honau niʻihi, “ʻIkai ʻe mafai ʻe he tangata ni, ʻoku ne fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe kui, ke taʻofi ke ʻoua naʻa mate ʻae tangata ni?”

³⁸Pea ko ia naʻe toʻetoʻe ʻa Sisu ʻi hono loto, pea ʻalu atu ki he tanuʻanga. Ko e ʻana ia pea naʻe tāpuni ʻaki ia ʻae maka.

³⁹Pea tala ʻe Sisu, “Mou toʻo ʻae maka.” Pea lea kiate ia ʻa Māʻata, ko e tuofefine ʻo ia kuo mate, ʻEiki, kuo namuhāhā: he ko hono ʻaho fā eni.

⁴⁰Pea lea ʻa Sisu kiate ia, “ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate koe, kapau te ke tui, te ke mamata ki he māfimafi ʻoe ʻOtua?”

⁴¹Pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻae maka mei he potu naʻe tuku ai ʻae mate. Pea hanga hake ʻae fofonga ʻo Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Tamai, ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kuo ke ongoʻi au.

⁴²Pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku ke ongoʻi maʻu aipē au: ka ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai ʻoku tutuʻu ni, ko ia kuo u lea ai, koeʻuhi ke nau tui naʻa ke fekau au.”

⁴³Pea hili ʻene lea pehē, pea lea leʻo lahi ia, “Lasalosi, tuʻu mai.”

⁴⁴Pea naʻe tuʻu mai ʻaia naʻe mate, kuo haʻihaʻi hono nima mo e vaʻe ʻaki ʻae kofu tanu: pea kuo nonoʻo ʻaki hono mata ʻae holoholo. Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Vevete, ʻo tukuange ia.”
