Naʻe ʻi ai ha kāinga ʻo ʻIlisapesi ko ha kiʻi fefine ko Mele, ʻa ia naʻe nofo ʻi he kolo ko Nāsaletí ʻi Kāleli. Naʻe fakamaʻu ʻa Mele mo Siosifa, ʻa ia ko ha tufunga. ʻI he māhina ono ʻa e feitama ʻa ʻIlisapesí, naʻe hā ai ʻa e ʻāngelo ko Kepalelí kia Mele. Naʻá ne pehē: ‘Mālō e lelei, Mele. ʻOku ʻofeina lahi koe ʻe Sihova.’ Naʻe ʻikai ke mahino kiate ia ʻa e meʻa naʻe ʻuhinga ki ai ʻa Kepalelí. Naʻá ne tala ange leva: ‘Te ke feitama pea fāʻeleʻi ha tamasiʻi, pea te ke ui ia ko Sīsū. Te ne pule ko e Tuʻi. Ko hono Puleʻangá ʻe tuʻu ʻo taʻengata.’

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Mele: ‘Ka ʻoku teʻeki ai ke u mohe mo ha tangata. ʻE lava fēfē ke u maʻu ha tama?’ Naʻe pehē ʻe Kepaleli: ‘ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe faingataʻa kia Sihova. ʻE hoko mai kiate koe ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní, pea te ke maʻu ha tama. Ko ho kāinga ko ʻIlisapesí kuo feitama foki mo ia.’ Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Mele: ‘Ko e sevāniti au ʻa Sihova. ʻOfa ke hoko kiate au ʻa e meʻa tofu pē kuó ke leaʻakí.’

 Naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mele ki ha kolo ʻi he ʻotu moʻungá ke ʻaʻahi kia ʻIlisapesi. ʻI he fakalea ʻa Mele kiate iá, naʻe ongoʻi ʻe ʻIlisapesi ʻoku punopuna ʻa e kiʻi pēpeé ʻi loto ʻiate ia. ʻI heʻene fonu ʻi he laumālie māʻoniʻoní, naʻá ne pehē: ‘ʻE Mele, kuo tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova. Ko ha monū ia ke ʻi heni ʻi hoku ʻapí ʻa e faʻē ʻa hoku ʻEikí.’ Naʻe pehē ʻe Mele: ‘ʻOku ou fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa Sihova ʻaki hoku lotó kotoa.’ Naʻe nofo ʻa Mele mo ʻIlisapesi ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu, peá ne toki foki ki hono ʻapí ki Nāsaleti.

ʻI hono ʻiloʻi ʻe Siosifa naʻe feitama ʻa Melé, naʻá ne loto ke fakangata ʻa ʻena fakamaʻú. Ka naʻe hā ha ʻāngelo ʻi ha misi kiate ia ʻo ne pehē: ‘ʻOua te ke ilifia he mali mo iá. Kuo ʻikai te ne fai ha meʻa ʻoku hala.’ Ko ia naʻe ʻave ʻe Siosifa ʻa Mele ki hono ʻapí ʻo ne hoko ko hono uaifi.
