Sione 7:3-16

³Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe hono kāinga kiate ia, “ʻAlu ʻi heni, ʻo ʻalu ki Siutea, koeʻuhi ke mamata foki ʻa hoʻo kau ākonga ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻoku ke fai.

⁴He ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku holi ke ongoongo, pea ne fai fakalilolilo ha meʻa. Kapau ʻoku ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, fakahā koe ki māmani.”

⁵He naʻe ʻikai tui foki ʻa hono kāinga kiate ia.

⁶Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku teʻeki ai hoko hoku ʻaho: ka ʻoku tatau kotoa pē ʻae ʻaho kiate kimoutolu.

⁷‌ʻOku ʻikai faʻa fehiʻa ʻa māmani kiate kimoutolu; ka ʻoku fehiʻa ia kiate au, koeʻuhi ʻoku ou fakahā ki ai, ʻoku kovi ʻene ngaahi ngāue.

⁸Mou ʻalu hake ki he kātoanga ni: ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu leva ki he kātoanga ni; he ʻoku teʻeki ai hokosia hoku ʻaho.”

⁹Hili ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni kiate kinautolu, pea nofo pe ia ʻi Kāleli.

¹⁰Ka kuo ʻalu hono kāinga, pea toki ʻalu foki ia ki he kātoanga, naʻe ʻikai ʻi he fakahā, kae fakafufū pe.

¹¹Pea kumi ia ʻe he kakai Siu ʻi he kātoanga, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e fē ia?”

¹²Pea naʻe lahi ʻae fefanafanahi ʻi he kakai koeʻuhi ko ia: he naʻe pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Ko e tangata lelei ia:” kae pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “ʻOku ʻikai; he ʻoku ne fakahalaʻi ʻae kakai.”

¹³Ka naʻe ʻikai lea fakahā ʻe ha taha kiate ia, ko ʻenau manavahē ki he kakai Siu.

¹⁴Pea ʻi he lolotonga ʻae kātoanga, naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Sisu ki he falelotu lahi, ʻo akonaki.

¹⁵Pea ofo ʻae kakai Siu, ʻo nau pehē, “ʻOku ʻilo fakafēfē ʻe he tangata ni ʻae poto, he naʻe ʻikai akonekina?”

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