1 ʻOku ako ʻe Kalaisi mei he vaka ʻo Pita: 4 ʻI he maʻu ʻae ika lahi naʻa ne fakahā ʻe toutai tangata ʻa Pita: 12 ʻOku ne fakamaʻa ʻae kilia: 16 Ko ʻene lotu ʻi he toafa: 18 Ko e fakamoʻui ʻae taha ʻi he mahaki tete: 27 ʻOku ne ui ʻa Mātiu ko e tānaki tukuhau: 29 ʻOku kai ʻa Sisu mo e angahala, he ko e faitoʻo ki he laumālie: 34 Ko ʻene fakahā ʻae ʻaukai mo e mamahi ʻae kau ʻaposetolo ʻoka ʻalu ia ʻiate kinautolu: 36 Mo e fakatātā ʻae kau ākonga vaivai ki he ngaahi hina mo e kofu motuʻa.
Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene tuʻu ʻi he matātahi ʻo Kenesaleti, naʻe lolofi mai kiate ia ʻae kakai ke fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua. Pea mamata ia ki he vaka ʻe ua ʻoku toka ʻi he veʻe ano: ka kuo ʻalu mei ai ʻae kau toutai ika, ʻonau fō honau ngaahi kupenga. Pea heka ia ki he vaka ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe ʻo Saimone, pea ne kole kiate ia ke tukutuku siʻi mei ʻuta. Pea naʻe nofo hifo ia, ʻo akonaki ki he kakai mei he vaka.
¶ Pea kuo hili ʻene lea, pea pehē ʻe ia kia Saimone, “Maʻu atu ki he loloto, pea ʻaʻau homou ngaahi kupenga koeʻuhi kae fusi hake.” Pea lea ʻa Saimone, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kuo mau ngāue ʻanepō ʻo ʻaho, ka naʻe ʻikai maʻu ha meʻa: ka ʻi hoʻo fekau te u ʻaʻau ʻae kupenga.” Pea kuo nau fai ia, pea nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi ika ʻo lahi ʻaupito: pea kamata mahae honau kupenga. Pea nau taʻalo ki heʻenau kaunga toutai ika ʻi he vaka ʻe taha, ke nau haʻu ʻo tokoni ʻakinautolu. Pea naʻa nau omi, ʻo fakapito ʻae vaka fakatouʻosi, pea na kamata ngalo hifo. Pea kuo mamata ʻa Saimone Pita, pea fakatōmapeʻe ia ki he tui ʻo Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki, ʻalu ʻiate au; he ko e tangata angahala au.” He naʻe ofo ia, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻi he ngaahi ika kuo maʻu: 10 Pea pehē foki ʻa Semisi, mo Sione ko e ongo foha ʻo Sepeti, ko e kaunga toutai mo Saimone. Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kia Saimone, “ʻOua ʻe manavahē; ngata heni te ke toutai tangata.” 11 Pea kuo ʻomi honau ongo vaka ki ʻuta, naʻa nau liʻaki kotoa pē, ʻo muimui kiate ia.
12 ¶ Pea naʻe lolotonga ʻene ʻi he kolo ʻe taha, pea vakai, ko e tangata kuo fonu ʻi he kilia: pea ne mamata kia Sisu, mo tō fakafoʻohifo, ʻo kole kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, kapau ko ho loto ʻoku ke faʻa fakamaʻa au.” 13 Pea mafao ʻe ia hono nima, ʻo ala ki ai mo ne pehē, “Ko hoku loto: ke ke maʻa koe.” Pea mahuʻi leva ʻiate ia ʻae kilia. 14 Pea ne fekau ia, “Ke ʻoua naʻa tala ki ha taha: kae ʻalu, ʻo fakahā koe ki he taulaʻeiki, mo ke ʻange koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fakamaʻa, ʻo fakatatau mo ia naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese, ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu.” 15 Ka naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻae mafola ʻa hono ongoongo: pea naʻe fakataha ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻaupito ke fanongo, pea koeʻuhi ke ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ngaahi mahamahaki.
16 ¶ Pea naʻe ʻalu ia mei ai ki he toafa, ʻo lotu ai. 17 Pea pehē, ko e ʻaho ʻe taha, ʻi heʻene akonaki, naʻe nofo ai ʻae kau Fālesi mo e kau akonaki ʻi he fono, kuo nau omi mei he potu kakai kotoa pē ʻo Kāleli, mo Siutea, mo Selūsalema: pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae mālohi ʻoe ʻEiki ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
18 ¶ Pea vakai, naʻe ʻomi ʻe he kau tangata ʻae tangata ʻi hono mohenga kuo pukea ʻi he mahaki tete: pea naʻa nau feinga pe fēfeeʻi hono lava mai ki loto, ke tuku ʻi hono ʻao. 19 Pea kuo ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe fēfeeʻi hono lava mai ki loto, koeʻuhi ko e kakai, naʻa nau ʻohake ia kituʻa fale, ʻo tukutuku hifo ia ʻi he ʻato ʻi he mohenga ki he haʻohaʻonga, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sisu. 20 Pea kuo mamata ʻe ia ki heʻenau tui, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Tangata, kuo fakamolemole kiate koe hoʻo ngaahi angahala.” 21 Pea fakakaukau leva ʻae kau tangata tohi mo e kau Fālesi, ʻonau pehē, “Ko hai eni ʻoku ne lea fie ʻOtua? Ko hai te ne faʻa fakamolemole ʻae angahala, ka ko e ʻOtua pe?” 22 Ka kuo ʻilo ʻe Sisu ʻenau mahalo, pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou femahaloʻaki ai ʻi homou loto? 23 He ʻoku faingofua ʻa fē, ke lea, ‘Kuo fakamolemole kiate koe hoʻo ngaahi angahala;’ pe ko e lea, ‘Tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu?’ 24 Ka koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻi he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻae mālohi ʻi māmani ke fakamolemole ʻae angahala,” (pea pehē ʻe ia ki he mahaki tete,) “ʻOku ou pehē atu kiate koe, Tuʻu hake, ʻo toʻo ho mohenga, pea ke ke ʻalu ki ho fale.” 25 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake leva ia ʻi honau ʻao, pea ne toʻo mai ʻaia naʻe tokoto ai, ʻo ʻalu ki hono fale, mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua. 26 Pea nau ofo ai kotoa pē, mo nau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, pea fonu ʻi he manavahē, ʻonau pehē, “Kuo tau mamata ʻi he ʻaho ni ki he ngaahi meʻa foʻou!”
27 ¶ Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea ʻalu atu ia, ʻo ne mamata ki he tangata tānaki tukuhau, ko Livai hono hingoa, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he tukuhauʻanga; pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Muimui ʻiate au.” 28 Pea tukuange ʻe ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo tuʻu hake, pea muimui ʻiate ia. 29 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Livai ʻae kātoanga lahi kiate ia ʻi hono fale: pea naʻe nofo mo kinautolu ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau tokolahi, mo e kakai niʻihi. 30 Ka naʻe lāunga honau kau tangata tohi mo e kau Fālesi ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou kai mo inu fakataha ai mo e kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala?” 31 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae faitoʻo ʻe kiate kinautolu ʻoku mālōlō; ka ki he mahaki. 32 Naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ke ui ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ka ko e angahala ke fakatomala.”
33 ¶ Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku faʻa ʻaukai mo lotu ai ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione, mo kinautolu foki ʻoe kau Fālesi; ka ʻoku kai mo inu ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻoʻou.” 34 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Te mou faʻa pule ke ʻaukai ʻae kāinga ʻoe tangata taʻane, ʻi he kei ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane? 35 Ka ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe ʻave ai ʻae tangata taʻane ʻiate kinautolu, pea ko e ngaahi ʻaho ko ia te nau toki ʻaukai ai.”
36 ¶ Pea lea ʻaki foki ʻe ia ʻae fakatātā kiate kinautolu; “ʻOku ʻikai ha taha te ne monomono ʻaki ʻae kofu motuʻa ha konga ʻoe kofu foʻou; ka pehē, ʻe hae ia ʻe he meʻa foʻou, kaeʻumaʻā ʻoku ʻikai fai tatau ʻae konga foʻou mo e motuʻa kofu. 37 Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne utu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina ʻoku motuʻa; telia naʻa hae ʻe he uaine foʻou ʻae ngaahi hina, pea tafe, pea maumau ʻae ngaahi hina. 38 Kae ʻutu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina foʻou; pea tolonga ai fakatouʻosi. 39 ‌ʻOku ʻikai foki ha tangata kuo inu ʻi he uaine motuʻa pea fili leva ia ki he uaine foʻou; he ʻoku ne pehē, ‘ʻOku lelei lahi ʻa e uaine motuʻa.’ ”
