Pekia ʻa Sīsū ʻi Kolokota

Naʻe ʻave ʻe he houʻeiki taulaʻeikí ʻa Sīsū ki he palasi ʻo e kōvaná. Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu: ‘Ko e hā ʻa e tukuakiʻi ʻoku mou fai ki he tangatá ni?’ Naʻa nau pehē: ‘ʻOkú ne tala ko ha tuʻi ia!’ Naʻe ʻeke ʻe Pailato kia Sīsū: “Ko koe ʻa e Tuʻi ʻo e Kau Siú?” Naʻe tali ange ʻe Sīsū: “Ko hoku Puleʻangá ʻoku ʻikai ko ha konga ia ʻo e māmani ko ení.”

Naʻe ʻave leva ʻe Pailato ʻa Sīsū kia Hēlota, ko e pule ʻo Kālelí, ke sio pe ʻe lava ke ne maʻu ha meʻa ke tukuakiʻi ai ia. Naʻe ʻikai ke maʻu ʻe Hēlota ha hala ʻa Sīsū peá ne fakafoki ia kia Pailato. Naʻe tala leva ʻe Pailato ki he kakaí: ‘ʻOku ʻikai ke maʻu ʻe Hēlota pea mo au ha meʻa ke tukuakiʻi ʻaki ʻa e tangatá ni. Te u tuku ange ia.’ Naʻe kaila ʻa e fuʻu kakaí: ‘Tāmateʻi ia! Tāmateʻi ia!’ Naʻe haha ʻe he kau sōtiá ʻa Sīsū ʻaki ha uipi, pea nau ʻanuhi ia, mo tā ia. Naʻa nau ʻai ki hono ʻulú ha kalauni talatala pea nau lea manuki kiate ia: ‘Maʻu ha ʻaho lelei, Tuʻi ʻo e kau Siú.’ Naʻe toe tala ʻe Pailato ki he kakaí: ‘ʻOku ʻikai te u maʻu ha hala ʻa e tangatá ni.’ Ka naʻa nau kaila: “Tutuki ia!” Ko ia naʻe tuku atu ia ʻe Pailato ke tāmateʻi.

Naʻa nau ʻave ʻa Sīsū ki ha feituʻu ko Kolokota, ʻo tutuki ia ki ha ʻakau, pea fokotuʻu ki ʻolunga. Naʻe lotu ʻa Sīsū: ‘ʻE tamai, fakamolemoleʻi kinautolu, he ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku nau faí.’ Naʻe fakakataʻaki ʻe he kakaí ʻa Sīsū, ʻo nau pehē: ‘Kapau ko e ʻAlo koe ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻalu hifo mei he ʻakaú! Fakahaofi koe.’

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he taha ʻo e ongo faihia naʻe tautau ʻi hono tafaʻakí: “Manatuʻi au ʻi haʻo aʻu ki ho Puleʻangá.” Naʻe palōmesi ʻa Sīsū kiate ia: “Te ke ʻi Palataisi mo au.” ʻI he hoʻatā efiafí, naʻe tō ha fakapoʻuli ki he fonuá ʻi he houa ʻe tolu. Naʻe tuʻu ʻa e niʻihi ʻo e kau ākongá ʻo ofi ki he ʻakaú, naʻe kau ai ʻa Mele ko e faʻē ʻa Sīsuú. Naʻe tala ange ʻe Sīsū kia Sione ke ne tokangaʻi ʻa Mele ʻo hangē pē ko haʻane faʻeé.

Naʻe faifai atu pē pea pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Kuo lava!” Naʻá ne punou hifo ʻo ne mānava fakaʻosi. ʻI he taimi pē ko iá, naʻe ʻi ai ha fuʻu mofuike mālohi. ʻI he temipalé naʻe mahaeua ʻa e fuʻu puipui ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e Potu Toputapú mo e Potu Fungani Toputapú. Naʻe pehē ʻe ha ʻōfisa fakakautau: ‘Ko e ʻAlo moʻoni eni ʻo e ʻOtuá.’
