¹⁶Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻO ne pehē, “Ko ʻeku akonaki ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻaku, ka ʻoku ʻaʻana naʻa ne fekau au.

¹⁷Pea ko ia ia ʻe fai ki hono finangalo, te ne ʻilo ʻae akonaki, pe ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua ia, pe ko ʻeku lea ʻiate au pe.

¹⁸Ko ia ʻoku lea ʻiate ia pē, ʻoku kumi ʻae fakamālō ʻaʻana: ka ko ia ʻoku ne kumi ʻae fakamālō ʻo ia naʻa ne fekau ia, ko ia ia ʻoku moʻoni, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taʻemāʻoniʻoni ʻiate ia.

¹⁹‌ʻIkai naʻe ʻatu ʻe Mōsese ʻae fono kiate kimoutolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai hamou tokotaha ʻoku ne fai ki he fono? Ko e hā ʻoku mou kumi ai ke tāmateʻi au?”

²⁰Pea leaange ʻae kakai, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ʻiate koe ha tēvolo: ko hai ʻoku kumi ke tāmateʻi koe?

²¹Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo u fai ʻae ngāue ʻe taha, pea ʻoku mou ofo ai kotoa pē.

²²Naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Mōsese ʻae kamu kiate kimoutolu; (ka ʻoku ʻikai mei ʻa Mōsese ia, kae mei he ngaahi tamai; pea ʻoku kamuʻi ʻekimoutolu ʻae tama tangata ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.

²³Pea kapau ʻe kamu ʻae tama tangata ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa maumauʻi ʻae fono ʻa Mōsese; ʻoku mou ʻita kiate au, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku fakamoʻui haohaoa ʻae tangata ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate?

²⁴‌ʻOua te mou fakamaau ʻo fakatatau mo ia ʻoku ha mai, kae fakamaau ke totonu.”

²⁵Pea lea ai ha niʻihi mei Selūsalema, “ʻIkai ko eni ia ʻoku nau kumi ke tāmateʻi?

²⁶Pea vakai, ʻoku lea mālohi ia, kae ʻikai siʻi te nau lea kiate ia. ʻOku ʻilo moʻoni ʻe he kau pule ko e Kalaisi totonu eni?

²⁷He ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻae potu ʻoku haʻu mei ai ʻae tangata ni: ka ʻoka haʻu ʻa Kalaisi, ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne ʻilo pe ʻoku mei fē ia.”
