Deli

Kae tali ‘e Si̇̄sū, ʻo ne pehē: ‟Kuo tohi ʻi he Tohitapú, ‛‘Oku ‘ikai moʻui ha taha ‘i he maá pē, ka ko e ngaahi fo‘i folofola kotoa pē mei he fofonga ʻo e ‘Otuá.’ ”

Pea toki tala ange ‘e Si̇̄sū ki ai: ‟Mavahe meiate au Sētane! He kuo tohi ‘i he Tohitapú, ‘Ko e ‘Eiki̇́ ko ho ‘Otuá pē te ke lotu ki ai̇́, pea ko ia toko taha pē te ke fai ki ai hoʻo huú!’ ”

Pea talaange ‘e Si̇̄sū kiate ia: ‟Kuo tohi mo ʻeni foki ‘i he Tohitapú, ‛ʻOua te ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ‘a e ‘Eiki̇́ ko ho ‘Otuá!’ ”

Pea toki taki atu ‘e he Laumālié ʻa Si̇̄sū ki he toafá ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ai ia ‘e he tēvoló. Pea hili ʻa e ‘aukai ‘a Si̇̄sū ‘o ‘aho ‘e fāngofulu mo e pō ‘e fāngofulú, kuó ne fiekaia ‘aupito.

Pea pehē ‘e Si̇̄sū kiate kinaua: ‟Mo muimui mai ke tau ō, pea te u ngaohi kimoua ko e ongo toutai tangata.” Peá na tuku leva hona kupengá ka na muimui kinaua ʻia Si̇̄sū.

Talu mei he taimi ko iá, mo e kamata malanga ‘a Si̇̄sū ki he kakai̇́: ‟Mou tafoki ki he ‘Otuá, he kuo vave ke hoko mai ‘a e Pule‘anga ‘o Hēvani̇́.”
