Pea naʻá ne ʻalu atu ʻo tafitafi, peá ne foki mai kuó ne sio.+

8 Pea ko e ngaahi kaungāʻapí mo e faʻahinga ko ia naʻa nau faʻa sio ki muʻa kiate ia ko ha tokotaha kolekolé naʻe kamata ke nau pehē: “Ko e tangata eni naʻe faʻa tangutu ʻo kolekolé, ʻikai ko ia?” 9 Naʻe pehē ʻe he niʻihi: “Ko ia eni.” Naʻe pehē ʻe he niʻihi ia: “ʻOku ʻikai, ka ʻoku hangē mai pē ko iá.” Naʻe hanganaki pehē ʻe he tangatá: “Ko au ia.” 10 Ko ia naʻa nau ʻeke kiate ia: “Naʻe anga-fēfē leva ʻa e ʻā ho ongo matá?” 11 Naʻá ne tali ange: “Ko e tangata ʻoku ui ko Sīsū naʻá ne ngaohi ha meʻi pelepela ʻo vali ʻaki hoku ongo matá peá ne pehē mai kiate au, ‘ʻAlu ki Sailoame ʻo tafitafi ai.’+ Ko ia naʻá ku ʻalu ʻo tafitafi peá u lava leva ʻo sio.” 12 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻa nau pehē kiate ia: “Ko fē ʻa e tangata ko iá?” Naʻá ne pehē ange: “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo.”

13 Naʻa nau taki atu ʻa e tangata kui ko eni ki muʻá ki he kau Fālesí. 14 Ka ko e ʻaho ko ia naʻe ngaohi ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e meʻi pelepelá ʻo fakaʻā ai hono ongo matá+ ko e Sāpate.+ 15 Ko ia ʻi he taimi ko ení naʻe kamata ʻeke ange foki ʻe he kau Fālesí ki he tangatá pe naʻe anga-fēfē ʻene lava ʻo sió. Naʻá ne pehē ange kiate kinautolu: “Naʻá ne ʻai ha meʻi pelepela ki hoku ongo matá, pea naʻá ku tafitafi, peá u lava leva ʻo sio.” 16 Naʻe kamata leva ke pehē ʻe he niʻihi ʻo e kau Fālesí: “ʻOku ʻikai ko ha tangata eni mei he ʻOtuá, he ʻoku ʻikai te ne tauhi ʻa e Sāpaté.”+ Naʻe pehē ʻe he niʻihi: “ʻE lava fēfē ʻe ha tangata ko ha angahala ʻo fakahoko ha ngaahi mana pehē?”+ Ko ia naʻe ʻi ai ha māvahevahe ʻi honau lotolotongá.+ 17 Pea naʻa nau toe pehē ki he tangata kuí: “Ko e hā haʻo lau fekauʻaki mo ia, he naʻá ne fakaʻā ho ongo matá?” Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he tangatá: “Ko ha palōfita ia.”

18 Kae kehe, naʻe ʻikai ke tui ʻa e kau Siú naʻá ne kui pea kuó ne lava ʻo sio, kae ʻoua ke nau ui mai ʻa e ongo mātuʻa ʻa e tangata kuó ne lava ko eni ʻo sió. 19 Pea nau ʻeke kiate kinaua: “Ko homo foha eni ʻa ia ʻokú mo pehē naʻe fanauʻi kuí? ʻOku anga-fēfē leva ʻene lava ko eni ʻo sió?” 20 Naʻe tali ange ʻe heʻene ongo mātuʻá: “ʻOkú ma ʻiloʻi ko homa fohá eni pea naʻe fanauʻi kui mai ia. 21 Ka ko e meʻa ki heʻene lava ko eni ʻo sió, ʻoku ʻikai te ma ʻilo; pea ʻoku ʻikai te ma ʻilo pe ko hai ia naʻá ne fakaʻā hono ongo matá. Mou ʻeke pē kiate ia. Kuó ne fuʻu lahi. Kuo pau ke ne fai ha fakamatala maʻana.” 22 Naʻe leaʻaki ʻe heʻene ongo mātuʻá ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni koeʻuhi naʻá na manavahē ki he kau Siú,+ he naʻe ʻosi felotoi ʻa e kau Siú ʻo pehē, kapau ʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe ha taha ko Sīsū ʻa e Kalaisí, ʻe kapusi ʻa e tokotaha ko iá mei he sinakoké.+ 23 Ko e ʻuhinga ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe heʻene ongo mātuʻá: “Kuó ne fuʻu lahi.

24 Ko ia naʻa nau ui mai ko hono tuʻo uá ia ʻa e tangata naʻe kuí ʻo pehē kiate ia: “Ke ke ʻoatu ʻa e lāngilangí ki he ʻOtuá;* ʻoku mau ʻilo ko e tangatá ni ko ha angahala.” 25 Naʻá ne tali ange: “Pe ko ha angahala ia, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi. Ko e meʻa pē ʻe taha ʻoku ou ʻiloʻí, naʻá ku kui, ka ʻoku lava ke u sio he taimí ni.” 26 Naʻa nau pehē ange leva kiate ia: “Ko e hā naʻá ne fai kiate koé?
