⁷Pea talaange ʻe he kakai Siu kiate ia, “ʻOku ai ʻemau fono, pea ʻi heʻemau fono ʻoku totonu ʻene mate, koeʻuhi naʻa ne ui ia ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.”

⁸Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Pailato ki he lea ko ia, pea ʻāsili ai ʻene manavahē;

⁹Pea toe ʻalu ia ki he fale fakamaau, ʻo ne fehuʻi kia Sisu, “ʻOku ke haʻu mei fē?” Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi lea ʻa Sisu kiate ia.

¹⁰Pea pehē ai ʻe Pailato kiate ia, “ʻIkai te ke lea kiate au? ʻIkai te ke ʻilo ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae mafai ke tutuki koe ki he ʻakau, pea ʻiate au mo e mafai ke tukuange koe?”

¹¹Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, “ʻE ʻikai te ke mafai ha meʻa kiate au, ʻo ka ne ʻikai foaki ia kiate koe mei ʻolunga: ko ia foki kuo tukuange au kiate koe, ʻoku lahi hake ʻene angahala.”

¹²Pea talu mei ai mo e fie tukuange ia ʻe Pailato: ka naʻe kalanga ʻae kakai Siu, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te ke tukuange ʻae tangata ni, ʻoku ʻikai ko ha kāinga koe ʻo Sisa: ko ia ʻoku ne pehē, ko e tuʻi ia, ʻoku lea kovi ia kia Sisa.”

¹³Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Pailato ki he lea ko ia, naʻa ne ʻomi ʻa Sisu kituʻa, ʻo nofo hifo ʻi he nofoʻa fakamaau, ʻi he potu ʻoku ui “ko e Falikimaka,”’ ka ʻi he lea fakaHepelū, ko “Kapata.”

¹⁴Pea ko e teuteu ki he kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu, pea ko hono ono nai ʻoe feituʻulaʻā: pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kakai Siu, “Vakai ko homou Tuʻi!”

¹⁵Ka naʻa nau kalanga, “ʻAve ia, ʻave ia, tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.” Pea pehē ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “Te u tutuki homou Tuʻi ki he ʻakau? Pea talaange ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻOku ʻikai hamau tuʻi ka ko Sisa pē.”

¹⁶Ko ia naʻa ne toki tukuange ai ia kiate kinautolu ke tutuki ki he ʻakau. Pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa Sisu ʻo taki atu.
