28 Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Hili hoʻomou hiki ki ʻolunga ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata, pea te mou toki ʻilo ‘ko au ia,’ pea mo ʻeku taʻefai-ha-meʻa ʻiate au pe; kae hangē hono akoʻi au ʻe heʻeku Tamai, ʻoku pehē ʻeku lea ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
29 Pea ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ʻoku ʻiate au: ʻoku ʻikai siʻaki au ke tokotaha pe ʻe he Tamai; he ʻoku ou fai maʻuaipē ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku lelei ai ia.”
30 Pea ʻi heʻene leaʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni, naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi kiate ia.
31 Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu ki he kau Siu naʻe tui kiate ia, “Kapau te mou nofomaʻu ʻi heʻeku lea, pea ko ʻeku kau ākonga moʻoni ʻakimoutolu;
32 Pea te mou ʻilo ʻae moʻoni, pea ʻe fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he moʻoni.”
33 Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi kiate ia, “Ko e hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻakimautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te mau pōpula ki ha taha: pea ʻoku fēfeeʻi ʻa hoʻo lau, ‘ʻE fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻakimoutolu?’”
34 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku fai angahala, ko e pōpula ia ki he angahala.
35 Pea ʻoku ʻikai nofomaʻuaipē ʻi he fale ʻae pōpula: ka ʻoku nofomaʻuaipē ʻae ʻAlo.
36 Ko ia kapau ʻe fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻAlo, te mou tauʻatāina moʻoni.
37 ʻOku ou ʻilo ko e hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻakimoutolu; ka ʻoku mou kumi ke tāmateʻi au, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻi homou loto ʻa ʻeku akonaki.
38 ʻOku ou lea ʻaki ʻaia kuo u ʻiloʻi ʻi heʻeku Tamai: pea ʻoku mou fai ʻaia kuo mou ʻiloʻi ʻi hoʻomou tamai.”
39 Naʻa nau leaange, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko ʻemau tamai ʻa ʻEpalahame.” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ka ne ko e fānau ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻakimoutolu, pehē, te mou fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻEpalahame.
40 Ka ko eni ʻoku mou kumi ke tāmateʻi au, ko e tangata kuo tala ʻae moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, ʻaia kuo u fanongo ʻi he ʻOtua: naʻe ʻikai fai pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame.
41 ʻOku mou fai ʻae ngāue ʻa hoʻomou tamai.” Pea naʻa nau pehē ai kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau tupu ʻi he feʻauaki; ʻoku taha pe ʻemau Tamai, ko e ʻOtua.”
42 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ka ne ko hoʻomou Tamai ʻae ʻOtua, te mou ʻofa kiate au: he naʻaku tupu ai ʻo haʻu mei he ʻOtua; pea naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ʻiate au pe, ka naʻa ne fekau au.
43 Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou ʻilo ʻeku lea? Ka koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te mou fie fai ki heʻeku akonaki.
44 ʻOku mou ʻi hoʻomou tamai ko e tēvolo, pea ko e holi ʻa hoʻomou tamai te mou fai. Ko e fakapō ia talu mei he kamataʻanga, pea naʻe ʻikai nofomaʻu ʻi he moʻoni koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha moʻoni ʻiate ia. ʻOka lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae loi, ʻoku ne lea ʻaki ʻene meʻa ʻaʻana: he ko e loi ia, mo e tamai ʻo ia.
45 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku tala ʻae moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate au.
46 Ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ne fakaʻilo haʻaku angahala? Pea kapau ʻoku ou lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate au?
47 Ko ia ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua, ʻoku fanongo ia ki he ngaahi folofola ʻae ʻOtua: pea pehē, ʻoku ʻikai te mou fanongo, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu.”
48 Pea leaange ʻae kakai Siu, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻIkai ʻoku moʻoni ʻemau pehē, Ko e Samēlia koe, pea ʻoku ʻiate koe ha tēvolo?”
