²⁸Naʻe fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻi Petapala ʻituʻa Sioatani, ʻaia naʻe fai papitaiso ai ʻa Sione.

²⁹Pea ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe mamata ʻa Sione kia Sisu ʻoku ʻalu ange kiate ia, pea ne pehē, “Vakai ki he Lami ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻave ʻae angahala ʻa māmani.

³⁰Ko eni ia naʻaku pehē ai, ‘ʻOku haʻu fakamuimui ʻiate au ha tangata ʻaia ʻoku lahi ʻiate au: he naʻe muʻa ia ʻiate au.’

³¹Pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ia: ka koeʻuhi ke fakahā ia ki ʻIsileli, ko ia kuo u haʻu ai au, ʻo papitaiso ʻaki ʻae vai.”

³²Pea fakamoʻoni ʻe Sione, ʻo pehē, “Naʻaku mamata ki he Laumālie ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei he langi ʻo hangē ko e lupe, ʻo nofo kiate ia.’

³³Pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ia: ka ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ke papitaiso ʻaki ʻae vai, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate au, ‘Ko ia te ke mamata ʻe ʻalu hifo ki ai ʻae Laumālie, ʻo nofo ki ai, ko ia ia ʻoku ne papitaiso ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.’

³⁴Pea naʻaku mamata, pea fakamoʻoni ko e ʻAlo eni ʻoe ʻOtua.”

³⁵Pea ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe tutuʻu ʻa Sione mo ʻene ākonga ʻe toko ua;

³⁶Pea ne sio fakamamaʻu kia Sisu, ʻi heʻene ʻeveʻeva, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai ki he Lami ʻae ʻOtua!”

³⁷Pea fanongo ki heʻene lea ʻae ongo ākonga, pea na muimui ʻia Sisu.

³⁸Pea tafoki ʻa Sisu, ʻo mamata ki heʻena muimui, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻoku mo kumi? Pea na pehē ki ai, “Lāpai, (ko hono ʻuhinga, ʻAkonaki,) ʻoku ke nofo ʻi fē?”

³⁹Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.” Pea naʻa na omi, ʻo mamata ki he potu ʻoku nofo ai ia, ʻo na nonofo mo ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, he ko hono hongofulu nai ia ʻoe feituʻulaʻā.

⁴⁰Ko e tokotaha ʻo kinaua naʻe muimui kiate ia ʻi he fanongo kia Sione, ko ʻAnitelū, ko e tokoua ʻo Saimone Pita.

⁴¹Pea tomuʻa ʻilo ʻe ia hono tokoua ʻoʻona ko Saimone, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo mau ʻilo ʻae Misaia (ko hono ʻuhinga, ko e Kalaisi.”)

⁴²Pea ne ʻomi ia kia Sisu. Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu ki ai, naʻa ne pehē, “Ko koe ko Saimone ko e foha ʻo Siona: ʻe ui koe ko Kifasi (ko hono ʻuhinga, ko Pita.”)

⁴³Ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe loto ʻa Sisu ke ʻalu atu ki Kāleli, pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻa Filipe, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “Muimui ʻiate au.”

⁴⁴Naʻe mei Petesaita ʻa Filipe, ko e potu ʻo ʻAnitelū mo Pita.

⁴⁵Pea ʻilo ʻe Filipe ʻa Nātaniela, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “Kuo mau ʻilo ia naʻe tohi ki ai ʻa Mōsese ʻi he fono, mo e kau palōfita, ko Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti, ko e foha ʻo Siosefa.”

⁴⁶Pea lea ʻa Nātaniela kiate ia, “ʻE tupu ha lelei mei Nāsaleti?” Pea pehē ʻe Filipe kiate ia, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.”
