1 Naʻe ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻae Folofola, pea naʻe ʻi he ʻOtua ʻae Folofola, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻae Folofola,⋮

2 Ko ia ia naʻe ʻi he kamataʻanga mo e ʻOtua.⋮

3 Naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē; pea naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe ngaohi kae ʻiate ia pe.⋮

4 Naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae moʻui; pea ko e moʻui ko e maama ia ʻoe tangata.⋮

5 Pea naʻe ulo ʻae maama ʻi he poʻuli; ka naʻe ʻikai maʻu ia ʻe he poʻuli.⋮

6 Naʻe ai ha tangata naʻe fekau mei he ʻOtua, ko Sione hono hingoa.⋮

7 Naʻe haʻu ia ko e fakamoʻoni, ke fakamoʻoni ki he Maama, koeʻuhi ke tui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai kotoa pē.⋮

8 Naʻe ʻikai ko e Maama ko ia ia, ka ko e fakamoʻoni ki he Maama ko ia.⋮

9 Ko e Maama moʻoni ia, ʻoku ne fakamaama ki he tangata kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu ki māmani.⋮

10 Naʻe ʻi māmani ia, pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻa māmani, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻe māmani.⋮

11 Naʻe haʻu ia ki hono kakai, ka naʻe ʻikai maʻu ia ʻe hono kakai.⋮

12 Ka ko ia kotoa pē naʻe maʻu ia, naʻa ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae monūʻia ke hoko ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua, kiate kinautolu pe naʻe tui ki hono huafa:⋮

13 ‌ʻAia naʻe ʻikai fanauʻi ʻi he toto, pe ʻi he loto ʻoe kakano, pe ʻi he loto ʻoe tangata, ka ʻi he ʻOtua.⋮

14 Pea naʻe hoko ʻae Folofola ko e kakano, pea nofo ia ʻiate kitautolu, (pea naʻa mau mamata ki hono nāunau, ko e nāunau ʻoe tokotaha naʻe tupu mei he Tamai,) ʻoku fonu ʻi he ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni.⋮

15 Naʻe fakamoʻoni ki ai ʻe Sione, ʻo kalanga, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko eni ia naʻaku lea ai, Ko ia ʻoku haʻu muimui ʻiate au, ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate au: he naʻe muʻa ia ʻiate au.’⋮

16 Pea kuo maʻu ʻekitautolu kotoa pē mei hono fonu, mo e ʻaloʻofa ki he ʻaloʻofa.⋮

17 He naʻe foaki ʻae fono ʻia Mōsese, ka ko e ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni naʻe haʻu ʻia Sisu Kalaisi.⋮

18 ‌ʻOku ʻikai ha tokotaha kuo ne mamata ki he ʻOtua ʻi ha kuonga; ko e ʻAlo pē taha naʻe fakatupu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fatafata ʻoe Tamai, kuo ne fakahā ia.⋮

19 Pea ko e fakamoʻoni eni ʻa Sione, ʻi he fekau mai ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livaite mei Selūsalema, ke fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ko hai koe?”⋮

20 Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe ia, ʻo ʻikai fakafisi; kae fakahā pe, ʻOku ʻikai ko e Kalaisi au.⋮

21 Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ka ko hai?” “Ko ʻIlaisiā koe?” Pea talaange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai.” “Ko koe ʻae palōfita ko ia?” Pea talaange ʻe ia, “ʻIkai.”⋮

22 Ko ia naʻa nau pehē ai kiate ia, “Ko hai koe?” Koeʻuhi ke mau tala kiate kinautolu naʻe fekauʻi ʻakimautolu. “Ko e hā hoʻo lea kiate koe?”⋮

23 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au ‘ko e leʻo ʻoe tokotaha ʻoku kalanga ʻi he toafa, Fakatonutonu ʻae hala ʻoe ʻEiki,’” ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia.⋮

24 Pea naʻe ʻoe kau Fālesi ʻakinautolu naʻe fekau.⋮

25 Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke fai papitaiso ai, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai ko e Kalaisi ko ia ʻa koe, pe ko ʻIlaisiā, pe ko e palōfita ko ia?”⋮

26 Pea leaange ʻa Sione, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou papitaiso ʻaki ʻae vai: ka ʻoku tuʻu ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae tokotaha ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo;⋮

27 Ko ia ia ʻoku haʻu fakamuimui ʻiate au, ka ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate au, ko e nonoʻo ʻoe topuvaʻe ʻoʻona ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke vete.”⋮

28 Naʻe fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻi Petapala ʻituʻa Sioatani, ʻaia naʻe fai papitaiso ai ʻa Sione.⋮

29 Pea ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe mamata ʻa Sione kia Sisu ʻoku ʻalu ange kiate ia, pea ne pehē, “Vakai ki he Lami ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻave ʻae angahala ʻa māmani.⋮

30 Ko eni ia naʻaku pehē ai, ‘ʻOku haʻu fakamuimui ʻiate au ha tangata ʻaia ʻoku lahi ʻiate au: he naʻe muʻa ia ʻiate au.’⋮

31 Pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ia: ka koeʻuhi ke fakahā ia ki ʻIsileli, ko ia kuo u haʻu ai au, ʻo papitaiso ʻaki ʻae vai.”⋮

32 Pea fakamoʻoni ʻe Sione, ʻo pehē, “Naʻaku mamata ki he Laumālie ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei he langi ʻo hangē ko e lupe, ʻo nofo kiate ia.’⋮

33 Pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ia: ka ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ke papitaiso ʻaki ʻae vai, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate au, ‘Ko ia te ke mamata ʻe ʻalu hifo ki ai ʻae Laumālie, ʻo nofo ki ai, ko ia ia ʻoku ne papitaiso ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.’⋮

34 Pea naʻaku mamata, pea fakamoʻoni ko e ʻAlo eni ʻoe ʻOtua.”⋮

35 Pea ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe tutuʻu ʻa Sione mo ʻene ākonga ʻe toko ua;⋮

36 Pea ne sio fakamamaʻu kia Sisu, ʻi heʻene ʻeveʻeva, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai ki he Lami ʻae ʻOtua!”⋮

37 Pea fanongo ki heʻene lea ʻae ongo ākonga, pea na muimui ʻia Sisu.⋮

38 Pea tafoki ʻa Sisu, ʻo mamata ki heʻena muimui, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻoku mo kumi? Pea na pehē ki ai, “Lāpai, (ko hono ʻuhinga, ʻAkonaki,) ʻoku ke nofo ʻi fē?”⋮

39 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.” Pea naʻa na omi, ʻo mamata ki he potu ʻoku nofo ai ia, ʻo na nonofo mo ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, he ko hono hongofulu nai ia ʻoe feituʻulaʻā.⋮

40 Ko e tokotaha ʻo kinaua naʻe muimui kiate ia ʻi he fanongo kia Sione, ko ʻAnitelū, ko e tokoua ʻo Saimone Pita.⋮

41 Pea tomuʻa ʻilo ʻe ia hono tokoua ʻoʻona ko Saimone, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo mau ʻilo ʻae Misaia (ko hono ʻuhinga, ko e Kalaisi.”)⋮

42 Pea ne ʻomi ia kia Sisu. Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu ki ai, naʻa ne pehē, “Ko koe ko Saimone ko e foha ʻo Siona: ʻe ui koe ko Kifasi (ko hono ʻuhinga, ko Pita.”)⋮

43 Ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe loto ʻa Sisu ke ʻalu atu ki Kāleli, pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻa Filipe, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “Muimui ʻiate au.”⋮

44 Naʻe mei Petesaita ʻa Filipe, ko e potu ʻo ʻAnitelū mo Pita.⋮

45 Pea ʻilo ʻe Filipe ʻa Nātaniela, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “Kuo mau ʻilo ia naʻe tohi ki ai ʻa Mōsese ʻi he fono, mo e kau palōfita, ko Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti, ko e foha ʻo Siosefa.”⋮

46 Pea lea ʻa Nātaniela kiate ia, “ʻE tupu ha lelei mei Nāsaleti?” Pea pehē ʻe Filipe kiate ia, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.”⋮

47 Pea vakai ʻa Sisu kia Nātaniela ʻoku haʻu kiate ia, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, ko e ʻIsileli moʻoni, ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha kākā!”⋮

48 Pea lea ʻa Nātaniela kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻiloʻi au mei fē?” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻI he teʻeki ui koe ʻe Filipe, ʻi hoʻo ʻi he lolo fiki, ne u ʻiloʻi koe.”⋮

49 Pea lea ʻa Nātaniela, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Lāpai, ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua; ko e Tuʻi koe ʻo ʻIsileli.”⋮

50 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku tala kiate koe, Ne u ʻiloʻi koe ʻi he lolo fiki, ʻoku ke tui ai? Te ke mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi hake ʻi he meʻa ni.”⋮

51 Pea tala ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Te mou mamata ʻamui ki he langi kuo matangaki, pea mo e kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku ʻalu hake mo ʻalu hifo ki he Foha ʻoe tangata.”⋮
