3 Pea ko e ngatá+ ʻa e manu mata-ʻiloʻilo taha* ʻi he fanga manu kaivao kotoa pē ʻa ia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá. Ko ia naʻá ne pehē ki he fefiné: “Ko e moʻoni koā naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo pehē kuo pau ke ʻoua te mo kai mei he ʻakau kotoa pē ʻo e ngoué?”+ 2 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ʻe he fefiné ki he ngatá: “ʻE lava ke ma kai ʻa e fua ʻo e ʻuluʻakau ʻo e ngoué.+ 3 Ka kuo folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo fekauʻaki mo e fua ʻo e fuʻu ʻakau ʻoku ʻi he loto ngoué:+ ‘Kuo pau ke ʻoua te mo kai mei ai, ʻio, kuo pau ke ʻoua te mo ala ki ai; he ka pehē, te mo mate.’” 4 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ʻe he ngatá ki he fefiné: “ʻE ʻikai moʻoni te mo mate.+ 5 He ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ko e ʻaho pē ko ia te mo kai ai mei aí, ʻe ʻā homo matá pea te mo hangē ko e ʻOtuá, ʻo ʻilo ʻa e leleí mo e koví.”+

6 Ko ia ai, naʻe sio ʻa e fefiné ko e fuʻu ʻakaú naʻe lelei ki he kaí pea ko ha meʻa naʻe fakamānako ki he matá, ʻio, ko e fuʻu ʻakaú naʻe matamatalelei ki he sió. Ko ia naʻe kamata ke ne toʻo ʻa hono fuá ʻo ne kai.+ Hili iá, naʻá ne ʻoange foki ha meʻa ki hono husepānití ʻi heʻene ʻiate iá, pea naʻe kamata ke ne kai ia.+ 7 Naʻe ʻā leva ʻa hona matá fakatouʻosi, peá na fakatokangaʻi hifo naʻá na telefua. Ko ia naʻá na tui ʻa e lou fiki ʻo na haʻi+ ʻi hona kongalotó.

8 Ki mui ai, naʻá na fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻene hāʻele ʻi he ngoué ʻi he havilivili efiafi ʻo e ʻahó, pea naʻe toitoi ʻa e tangatá mo hono uaifí mei he fofonga ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻi he loto ʻuluʻakau ʻo e ngoué. 9 Pea naʻe toutou ui ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ki he tangatá ʻo ne pehē kiate ia: “Ko fē koe?” 10 Faifai atu pē naʻá ne pehē: “Naʻá ku fanongo ki ho leʻó ʻi he ngoué, ka naʻá ku ilifia koeʻuhí naʻá ku telefua, ko ia ai naʻá ku toitoi.” 11 ʻI he meʻa ko iá naʻá ne folofola: “Ko hai naʻá ne tala atu kiate koe ʻokú ke telefuá?+ Kuó ke kai koā koe mei he fuʻu ʻakau ko ia naʻá ku fekau kiate koe ke ʻoua te ke kaí?”+ 12 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he tangatá: “Ko e fefine ko ia naʻá ke ʻomai ke ma feʻaó, naʻá ne ʻomai kiate au ha foʻi fua mei he fuʻu ʻakaú, ko ia ai naʻá ku kai.” 13 Naʻe folofola leva ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ki he fefiné: “Ko e hā eni kuó ke faí?” Naʻe tali ange ʻe he fefiné: “Ko e ngatá naʻá ne kākaaʻi au, ko ia ai naʻá ku kai.”+

14 Naʻe folofola leva ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ki he ngatá:+ “Koeʻuhí kuó ke fai ʻa e meʻá ni, ko e malaʻia koe ʻi he fanga manu lalata kotoa pē pea ʻi he fanga manu kaivao kotoa pē. Te ke ngaolo ʻaki ho keté, pea te ke kai efu ʻi he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo moʻuí. 15 Pea te u ʻai ha fetāufehiʻaʻaki*+ ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoʻou+ mo e fefiné+ pea ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ho hakó+ mo hono hakó.+ Te ne* laiki ho ʻulú,+ pea te ke taaʻi* ia ʻi hono muivaʻé.”+

16 Naʻá ne folofola ki he fefiné: “Te u mātuʻaki fakalahi ʻa e mamahi ʻo hoʻo feitamá; te ke fāʻeleʻi hoʻo fānaú ʻi he mamahi, pea ko hoʻo holí ʻe tō ia ki ho husepānití, pea te ne pule kiate koe.”

17 Pea kia ʻĀtama* naʻá ne folofola ki ai: “Koeʻuhi naʻá ke fakafanongo ki he leʻo ʻo ho uaifí peá ke kai mei he fuʻu ʻakau ʻa ia naʻá ku ʻoatu ai kiate koe ʻa e fekaú ni,+ ‘Kuo pau ke ʻoua te ke kai mei ai,’ ke malaʻia ʻa e kelekelé koeʻuhi ko koe.+ Te ke kai ʻa hono fuá ʻi he mamahi ʻi he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo moʻuí.+ 18 ʻE tupu mei ai ʻa e ʻakau talatala mo e talatalaʻāmoa maʻau, pea kuo pau ke ke kai ʻa e mohuku ʻo e kelekelé. 19 Te ke kai ʻa e maá* ʻi he kakava ʻo ho matá kae ʻoua ke ke foki ki he kelekelé, he naʻe toʻo koe mei ai.+ He ko e efu koe pea ko e efu te ke foki ki aí.”+

20 ʻI he hili ʻa e meʻá ni naʻe fakahingoa ʻe ʻĀtama hono uaifí ko ʻIvi,* koeʻuhí te ne hoko ko e faʻē ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē ʻoku moʻuí.+ 21 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ha ongo kofu lōloa mei he kiliʻimanú moʻo ʻĀtama mo hono uaifí, ke fakavalaʻi ʻaki kinaua.+ 22 Naʻe folofola leva ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá: “Ko eni kuo hoko ʻa e tangatá ʻo hangē ko ha taha ʻo kitauá* ʻi hono ʻilo ʻa e leleí mo e koví.+ Pea koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa ala atu foki hono nimá ʻo toʻo mai ha foʻi fua mei he fuʻu ʻakau ʻo e moʻuí+ ʻo ne kai pea moʻui taʻengata,—” 23 ʻI he meʻa ko iá naʻe kapusi ai ia ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá mei he ngoue ʻo ʻĪtení+ ke ne ngoueʻi ʻa e kelekelé ʻa ia naʻe toʻo ia mei aí.+ 24 Ko ia ai, naʻá ne kapusi ʻa e tangatá ki tuʻa, pea naʻá ne fokotuʻu ʻi he hahake ʻo e ngoue ʻo ʻĪtení ʻa e ongo* selupimi,+ mo e heletā naʻe uloulo hono matá ʻa ia naʻe vilovilo hokohoko ke leʻohi ʻa e hala ki he fuʻu ʻakau ʻo e moʻuí.
