1 Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kau ākonga kia Sisu, ʻonau pehē, “Ko hai ʻoku lahi ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe langi?” 2 Pea ui ʻe Sisu ha tamasiʻi siʻi ke ʻalu ange kiate ia, ʻo ne tuku ia ki honau haʻohaʻonga, 3 ‌ʻO ne pehē, “ʻOku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe ʻikai liliu ʻakimoutolu, ke tatau mo e tamaiki iiki, ʻe ʻikai te mou hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe langi. 4 Ko ia ia te ne fakavaivaiʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e tamasiʻi siʻi ni, ko ia pe ʻoku lahi ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe langi. 5 Pea ko ia te ne maʻu ha tamasiʻi siʻi pehē ʻi hoku hingoa, ʻoku ne maʻu au. 6 “Ka ko ia te ne fakahalaʻi ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu ni ʻoku siʻi ʻoku tui kiate au, ʻe lelei hake kiate ia ʻo ka ne taupungaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae maka momosi ʻi hono kia, pea lōmakiʻi ia ʻi he loto moana.
7 ¶ ʻE malaʻia ʻa māmani koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi fakahala! He kuo pau ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi fakahala; kae malaʻia ʻae tangata ko ia ʻe hoko ai ʻae fakahala! 8 “Ko ia, kapau ʻoku fakahalaʻi koe ʻe ho nima pe ko ho vaʻe, tutuʻu ia, ʻo liʻaki ia ʻiate koe: ʻoku lelei kiate koe haʻo hū ki he moʻui ʻoku ke ketu pe nima mutu, ʻi hoʻo maʻu ʻae nima ʻe ua mo e vaʻe ʻe ua, kae lī koe ki he afi taʻengata. 9 Pea kapau ʻoku fakahalaʻi koe ʻe ho mata, kapeʻi ia, ʻo liʻaki ʻiate koe: ʻoku lelei kiate koe haʻo hū ki he moʻui ʻoku ke mata taha, ʻi hoʻo maʻu ʻae mata ʻe ua, kae lī koe ki he afi ʻo heli.
10 ¶ “Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa mou manukiʻi ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu ni ʻoku siʻi; he ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku mamata maʻuaipē ʻi he langi hā nau ʻāngelo ki he fofonga ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he langi. 11 Pea kuo hoko mai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ke fakamoʻui ʻaia naʻe hē. 12 “Ko e hā homou loto? Kapau ʻoku maʻu ʻe ha tangata ʻae sipi ʻe teau, pea ʻalu hē pe hanau taha, ʻikai ʻoku ne tuku ʻae hivangofulu ma hiva, pea ʻalu ki he ngaahi moʻunga, ʻo kumi ʻaia kuo hē? 13 Pea kapau te ne ʻilo ia, ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku lahi ʻene fiefia ʻi he sipi ko ia, ʻi he hivangofulu ma hiva naʻe ʻikai ʻalu hē. 14 Pea pehē, ʻoku ʻikai ko e finangalo ʻo hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, ke malaʻia ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu ni ʻoku siʻi.
15 ¶ “Ko ia, kapau ʻe fai angahala kiate koe ʻe ho kāinga, ʻalu ʻo fakahā ʻene kovi kiate ia, ʻa koe pē mo ia: kapau ʻe tokanga ia kiate koe, kuo ke fakalelei mo ho kāinga. 16 Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ne tokanga kiate koe, pea ke toki ʻave ha tokotaha pe ha toko ua kehe, koeʻuhi ʻe fakapapau ʻae lea kotoa pē mei he ngutu ʻoe fakamoʻoni ʻe toko ua pe toko tolu. 17 Pea kapau ʻe taʻetokanga ia kiate kinautolu, fakahāia ki he siasi: pea kapau ʻe taʻetokanga ia ki he siasi, tuku ke tatau ia kiate koe mo e tangata hiteni mo e tānaki tukuhau 18 “Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e meʻa ko ia te mou nonoʻo ʻi māmani, ʻe nonoʻo ia ʻi he langi: pea ko e meʻa ko ia te mou veteki ʻi māmani, ʻe veteki ia ʻi he langi. 19 “Pea ʻoku ou tala atu foki kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe loto taha hamou toko ua ʻi māmani ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha te na kole, ʻe fai ia kiate kinaua ʻe heʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi. 20 He ko e potu ko ia ʻoku fakataha ai ʻae toko ua pe ʻae toko tolu ʻi hoku huafa, te u ʻi ai au mo kinautolu.”
21 ¶ Pea naʻe toki haʻu ai ʻa Pita kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻe liunga fiha ʻae angahala ʻa hoku tokoua kiate au mo ʻeku fakamolemole ia? Ke liunga fitu?” 22 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te u pehē kiate koe, Ke liunga fitu pē kae liunga fitungofulu lau ʻe fitu.
23 ¶ Ko ia ʻoku fakatatau ai ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi ki ha tuʻi, naʻe loto ke fakamaauʻi ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki. 24 Pea kamata fai ʻe ia ʻae fakamaau, pea ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tokotaha naʻe totonu ke ne totongi ki he tuʻi ʻae taleniti ʻe mano. 25 Ka ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai haʻa ne meʻa ke totongi ʻaki, naʻe fekau ʻe heʻene ʻeiki ke fakatau ia, mo hono uaifi, mo ʻene fānau, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻaʻana, ʻo totongi ʻaki. 26 Pea fakatōmapeʻe ʻae tamaioʻeiki, ʻo hū kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, ke ke faʻa kātaki kiate au, pea te u totongi kotoa pē kiate koe.’ 27 Pea toki manavaʻofa ʻae ʻeiki ki he tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻo ne tukuange ia, ʻo ne fakamolemole kiate ia ʻae totongi. 28 Ka naʻe ʻalu ʻae tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻo ne ʻilo ʻae tokotaha ʻo ʻene kaungā tamaioʻeiki, naʻe totonu ke totongi ʻaki kiate ia ʻae tenali ʻe teau: pea ne puke ʻe ia ia, ʻo kuku hono kia, ʻo pehē, ‘Totongi mai kiate au ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻaku.’ 29 Pea fakatōmapeʻe ʻa ʻene kaungā tamaioʻeiki ki hono vaʻe, ʻo ne kole kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke ke faʻa kātaki kiate au, pea te u totongi kotoa pē kiate koe.’ 30 Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne fai; ka naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo tuku ia ki he fale fakapōpula, kaeʻoua ke ne totongi ʻaia naʻe totonu. 31 Ka ʻi he mamata ʻa ʻene kaungā tamaioʻeiki ki he meʻa kuo fai, naʻa nau mamahi lahi, pea ʻalu ʻo fakahā ki honau ʻeiki ʻaia kotoa pē kuo fai. 32 Pea ui ia ʻe heʻene ʻeiki, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻAe tamaioʻeiki angakovi ko koe, ne u fakamolemolea koe ʻi he totongi kotoa pē ko ia, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo kole kiate au:’ 33 Pea ʻikai naʻe taau mo koe hoʻo manavaʻofa foki ki ho kaungā tamaioʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku manavaʻofa kiate koe? 34 Pea ʻita ai ʻene ʻeiki, ʻo ne tuku atu ia ki he kau fakamamahi, kaeʻoua ke ne totongi ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe totonu. 35 “ʻE fai pehē foki ʻe heʻeku Tamai ʻi he langi kiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou taki taha fakamolemolea mei hono loto ʻae ngaahi angahala ʻo hono kāinga.”
