ʻI he faai atu ʻa e taimí, naʻe hoko ai ʻa Pelisasa ko e tuʻi ʻo Pāpiloné. ʻI he pō ʻe taha, naʻá ne fakaafeʻi ai ha toko taha afe ʻo e kakai mahuʻinga taha ʻi he fonuá ki ha kātoanga kai. Naʻá ne fekauʻi ʻene kau sevānití ke nau ʻomai ʻa e ngaahi ipu koula naʻe toʻo ʻe Nepukanesa mei he temipale ʻo Sihová. Naʻe inu ʻa Pelisasa mo ʻene kau fakaafé ʻi he ngaahi ipú mo nau fakahīkihikiʻi honau ngaahi ʻotuá. Fakafokifā pē, naʻe ʻasi mai ha nima ʻo ha tangata ʻo kamata ke ne tohi ha ngaahi foʻi lea fakapulipuli ʻi he holisi ʻo e loki kaí.

Naʻe ilifia ʻa Pelisasa. Naʻá ne ui mai ʻene kau faimaná peá ne palōmesi kiate kinautolu: ‘Kapau ʻe lava ʻe ha taha ʻo fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ngaahi leá ni, te u ʻai ke ne hoko ko e tangata maʻu mafai fika tolu ia ʻi Pāpiloné.’ Naʻa nau feinga, ka naʻe ʻikai ke lava ʻe ha taha ʻo kinautolu ʻo fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ngaahi foʻi leá. Naʻe hū mai leva ʻa e kuiní ʻo ne pehē: ‘ʻOku ʻi ai ha tangata ko Taniela naʻá ne faʻa fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻá kia Nepukanesa. ʻE lava ke ne fakamatalaʻi atu ʻa e ngaahi leá ni.’

Naʻe haʻu ʻa Taniela ki he tuʻí. Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Pelisasa kiate ia: ‘Kapau ʻe lava ke ke lau mo fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ngaahi leá ni, te u ʻoatu hao kahoa koula pea ʻai koe ko e tangata maʻu mafai fika tolu ʻi Pāpiloné.’ Naʻe pehē ʻe Taniela: ‘ʻOku ʻikai te u fiemaʻu hoʻo meʻaʻofá, ka te u tala atu ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e ngaahi leá ni. Naʻe pōlepole hoʻo tamai ko Nepukanesá, pea naʻe fakavaivaiʻi ia ʻe Sihova. ʻOkú ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa kotoa naʻe hoko kiate iá, ka naʻá ke taʻefakaʻapaʻapa kia Sihova ʻi he inu uaine mei he ngaahi ipu koula mei Hono temipalé. Ko ia kuo tohi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e ngaahi leá ni: Mine, Mine, Tikeli, mo e Pasini. ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e ngaahi leá ʻe ikunaʻi ʻe he kau Mītiá mo e kau Pēsiá ʻa Pāpilone, pea heʻikai te ke toe tuʻi.’

Naʻe hā ngali heʻikai lava ʻe ha taha ke ikunaʻi ʻa Pāpilone. Naʻe maluʻi ʻa e koló ʻe he ngaahi fuʻu ʻā matolu mo ha vaitafe loloto. Ka ʻi he pō pē ko iá, naʻe ʻohofi ia ʻe he  kau Mītiá mo e kau Pēsiá. Naʻe afeʻi ʻe Tuʻi Kōlesi ʻo Pēsiá ʻa e vaitafé koeʻuhi ke lava ʻa e kau sōtiá ʻo laka hake ki he matapā ʻo e koló. ʻI heʻenau aʻu ki aí, naʻe ava pē ʻa e ngaahi matapaá! Naʻe hū ki loto ʻa e kau taú, ʻo ikunaʻi ʻa e koló, pea tāmateʻi ʻa e tuʻí. Naʻe hoko leva ʻa Kōlesi ko e pule ia ʻo Pāpiloné.

ʻI loto ʻi ha taʻu ʻe taha, naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Kōlesi: ‘Kuo tala mai ʻe Sihova ke u toe langa ʻa hono temipale ʻi Selusalemá. ʻOku ʻatā ke ʻalu ha taha pē ʻi hono kakaí ʻoku loto ke tokoni.’ Ko ia hangē pē ko e palōmesi ʻa Sihová, naʻe toe foki ki ʻapi ʻa e kau Siu tokolahi hili ia ʻa e taʻu ʻe 70 mei hono fakaʻauha ʻo Selusalemá. Naʻe fakafoki ʻe Kōlesi ʻa e ngaahi ipu koula mo e siliva mo e ngaahi naunau naʻe toʻo ʻe Nepukanesa mei he temipalé. ʻOku lava ke ke sio ki hono ngāueʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa Kōlesi ke ne tokoniʻi ʻa Hono kakaí?
