10 ʻI he taʻu hono tolu ʻo e pule ʻa Tuʻi Kōlesi+ ʻo Pēsiá, naʻe ʻoange ai ha meʻa fakahā kia Taniela, ʻa ia naʻe uiʻaki ʻa e hingoa ko e Pelitisasá;+ pea naʻe moʻoni ʻa e pōpoakí, naʻe fekauʻaki ia mo ha fuʻu fepaki. Pea naʻe mahino kiate ia ʻa e pōpoakí pea naʻe ʻoange kiate ia ʻa e mahino ʻo fekauʻaki mo e meʻa naʻá ne mamata ki aí.

2 ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko iá, ko au, Taniela, naʻá ku fakamamahi+ ʻi he uike kakato ʻe tolu. 3 Naʻe ʻikai te u kai ha meʻakai vovo, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻai ki hoku ngutú ha kakanoʻi-manu pe ko ha uaine, pea naʻe ʻikai te u tākai ʻaki ha lolo ʻi he uike kakato ʻe tolu. 4 ʻI he ʻaho hono 24 ʻo e ʻuluaki māhiná, lolotonga ʻa ʻeku ʻi he veʻe vaitafe lahí, ʻa e Taikilisí,*+ 5 naʻá ku hanga hake ʻo vakai ki ha tangata ʻoku kofu līneni,+ pea naʻe nonoʻo ʻa hono kongalotó ʻaki ha leta koula mei ʻŪfasi. 6 Naʻe hangē ʻa hono sinó ko e kalisolaité,+ ko hono fofongá naʻe ulo ʻo hangē ha ʻuhilá, ko hono ongo foʻi matá naʻe hangē ko ha tūhulu naʻe ulo kakahá, ko hono ongo nimá mo hono ongo vaʻé naʻe hangē ha kopa kuo fakangingilá,+ pea ko e ongo mai ʻa ʻene leá naʻe hangē ko e ongo mai ʻa e leʻo ʻo ha fuʻu tokolahí. 7 Ko au pē, Taniela, naʻá ku mamata ki he vīsoné; ko e kau tangata naʻe ʻiate aú naʻe ʻikai te nau sio ki he vīsoné.+ Kae kehe, naʻa nau mātuʻaki tetetete, pea naʻa nau hola ʻo toi.

8 Pea ko au pē naʻe toé, pea ʻi heʻeku mamata ki he fuʻu vīsone ko ení, naʻe ʻikai ke kei ʻi ai haku ivi pea naʻe mole ʻa hoku fōtunga fakangeingeiá pea naʻe mole ʻa hoku mālohí kotoa.+ 9 Naʻá ku fanongo leva ki hono leʻó ʻokú ne lea; ka ʻi heʻeku fanongo kiate ia ʻi heʻene leá, naʻá ku mohe maʻu ʻo hanga ki he kelekelé.+ 10 Ka naʻe ala mai leva ha nima kiate au,+ pea naʻá ne ueʻi au ke u mālanga hake ʻo tūʻulutui. 11 Naʻá ne pehē mai leva kiate au:

“ʻE Taniela, ʻa koe ko e tangata mahuʻinga ʻaupitó,*+ ke ke tokanga ki he lea ʻoku teu ke u leaʻaki atu kiate koé. Ko eni ke ke tuʻu hake ʻi ho tuʻuʻangá, he kuo fekauʻi mai au kiate koe.”

ʻI heʻene leaʻaki mai eni kiate aú, naʻá ku tuʻu hake ʻi he tetetete.

12 Naʻá ne pehē mai leva kiate au: “ʻOua naʻá ke ilifia,+ ʻe Taniela. Kuo fanongoa ʻa hoʻo ngaahi leá mei he ʻuluaki ʻaho naʻá ke tuku ai ho lotó ke ne maʻu ʻa e mahinó pea fakavaivaiʻi koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo ho ʻOtuá, pea kuó u haʻú koeʻuhí ko hoʻo ngaahi leá.+ 13 Ka ko e ʻeiki+ ʻo e puleʻanga fakatuʻi ʻo Pēsiá naʻá ne tuʻu ʻo fakafepaki kiate au ʻi he ʻaho ʻe 21. Ka naʻe haʻu leva ʻa Maikeli,*+ ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi ʻeiki tuʻu-ki-muʻa tahá,* ʻo tokoniʻi au; pea naʻá ku nofo ai pē ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Pēsiá. 14 Kuó u haʻú ke ʻai koe ke ke mahinoʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻe hoko ki ho kakaí ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí,+ koeʻuhí ko ha vīsone ia ʻoku kei tuʻu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ka hoko maí.”+

15 Pea ʻi heʻene leaʻaki mai kiate au ʻa e ngaahi lea ko ení, naʻá ku hanga ki he kelekelé peá u moʻulongoa. 16 Ko e tokotaha leva naʻe hangē ko ha foha ʻo e tangatá naʻá ne ala mai ki hoku loungutú,+ pea naʻe ava ʻa hoku ngutú ʻo u lea ki he tokotaha naʻe tuʻu ʻi muʻa ʻiate aú: “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, ʻoku ou teteki koeʻuhí ko e vīsoné, pea ʻoku ʻikai haku mālohi.+ 17 Ko ia ʻe lava fēfē kiate au ko hoʻo sevānití ke u lea kiate koe ko hoku ʻeikí?+ He ko eni ʻoku ʻikai haku mālohi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke u kei mānava.”+

18 Ko e tokotaha naʻe hangē ko ha tangatá naʻá ne toe ala mai kiate au ʻo fakaivimālohiʻi au.+ 19 Naʻá ne pehē mai leva: “ʻOua naʻá ke ilifia,+ ʻa koe ko e tangata mahuʻinga ʻaupitó.*+ ʻOfa ke ke maʻu ʻa e melinó.+ Ke ke loto-toʻa, ʻio, ke ke loto-toʻa.” ʻI heʻene lea mai kiate aú naʻe fakaivimālohiʻi ai au peá u pehē ange: “Tuku ke lea ʻa hoku ʻeikí, he kuó ke fakaivimālohiʻi au.”

20 Naʻá ne pehē mai leva: “ʻOkú ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga kuó u haʻu ai kiate koé? Ko eni te u foki ʻo faitau mo e ʻeiki ʻo Pēsiá.+ ʻI heʻeku mavahé, ʻe haʻu ʻa e ʻeiki ʻo Kalisí. 21 Kae kehe, te u tala atu kiate koe ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻe hiki ʻi he ngaahi tohi ʻo e moʻoní. ʻOku ʻikai ha taha te ne poupouʻi mālohi au ʻi he ngaahi meʻá ni ka ko Maikeli+ pē, ko ho ʻeiki lahí.+
