17 Ko e fuʻu fakataha fakakātoa ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí naʻa nau mavahe mei he toafa Siní+ ʻo ʻalu mei he feituʻu ki he feituʻu ʻo fakatatau ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa Sihová,+ pea naʻa nau ʻapitanga ʻi Lefitimi.+ Ka naʻe ʻikai ha vai ki he kakaí ke nau inu.
2 Ko ia naʻe kamata ke fakakē ʻa e kakaí kia Mōsese+ ʻo nau pehē: “ʻOmai kiate kimautolu ha vai ke mau inu.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu: “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fakakē mai ai kiate aú? Ko e hā ʻoku mou hanganaki ʻahiʻahiʻi ai ʻa Sihová?”+ 3 Ka naʻe fieinua ʻaupito ai ʻa e kakaí, pea naʻa nau hanganaki lāunga kia Mōsese+ ʻo pehē: “Ko e hā kuó ke ʻomi ai kimautolu mei ʻIsipite ke tāmateʻi kimautolu mo homau ngaahi fohá mo ʻemau fanga monumanú ʻi he fieinuá?” 4 Naʻe faifai pē pea tangi ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova: “Ko e hā te u fai ki he kakaí ni? ʻOku toetoe siʻi pē pea nau tolomakaʻi au!”
5 Naʻe folofola leva ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese: “ʻAlu muʻomuʻa atu ʻi he kakaí, pea ʻalu mo koe ha niʻihi ʻo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsilelí pea mo ho tokotoko ʻa ia naʻá ke taaʻi ʻaki ʻa e Vaitafe Nailá.+ Toʻo ia ʻi ho nimá peá ke ʻalu atu. 6 Vakai, te u tuʻu ai ʻi ho ʻaó ʻi he maka ʻi Hōlepí. Kuo pau ke ke taaʻi ʻa e maká, pea ʻe haʻu mei ai ʻa e vai, pea ʻe inu ia ʻe he kakaí.”+ Naʻe fai pehē ʻa Mōsese ʻi he ʻao ʻo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsilelí. 7 Ko ia naʻá ne ui ʻa e feituʻú ko Masa*+ mo Mēlipa*+ koeʻuhi ko e fakakē ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí pea koeʻuhi ko ʻenau ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻa Sihova+ ʻi heʻenau pehē: “ʻOku ʻi hotau lotolotongá koā ʻa Sihova pe ʻikai?”
8 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa e kau ʻAmalekí+ ʻo faitau mo ʻIsileli ʻi Lefitimi.+ 9 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia Siosiua:+ “Fili ha kau tangata maʻatautolu pea ʻalu atu ʻo faitau mo e kau ʻAmalekí. Ko ʻapongipongi te u tuʻu ai ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he foʻi māʻolungá, fakataha mo e tokotoko ʻo e ʻOtua moʻoní ʻi hoku nimá.” 10 Naʻe fai leva ʻe Siosiua ʻa e meʻa tofu pē naʻe tala ange ʻe Mōsese kiate iá,+ pea naʻá ne faitau mo e kau ʻAmalekí. Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Mōsese, ʻĒlone pea mo Hua+ ki ʻolunga ki he foʻi māʻolungá.
11 Lolotonga ʻa e kei hiki ki ʻolunga ʻe Mōsese ʻa hono ongo nimá, naʻe ikuna ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí, ka ʻi heʻene tuku pē ki lalo ʻa hono ongo nimá, naʻe ikuna ʻa e kau ʻAmalekí. 12 ʻI he mamafa ʻa e ongo nima ʻo Mōsesé, naʻá na toʻo ha fuʻu maka ʻo tuku ʻi lalo ʻiate ia, pea naʻá ne tangutu ai. Naʻe puke leva ʻe ʻĒlone mo Hua ʻa hono ongo nimá, ko e tokotaha ʻi he tafaʻaki taki taha, ko ia naʻe tuʻu maʻu ai pē ʻa hono ongo nimá ʻo aʻu ki he tō ʻa e laʻaá. 13 Ko ia naʻe ikunaʻi ʻe Siosiua ʻa ʻAmaleki mo hono kakaí ʻaki ʻa e heletaá.+
14 Naʻe folofola leva ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese: “Tohi eni ko ha fakamanatu ʻi he tohí pea toe leaʻaki ia kia Siosiua, ‘Te u tafiʻi fakaʻaufuli ʻa e manatu ki ʻAmalekí mei he lalo langí.’”+ 15 Naʻe fokotuʻu leva ʻe Mōsese ha ʻōlita pea ui ia ko Sihova-nisi,* 16 ʻo ne pehē: “Koeʻuhi ko hono nimá ʻoku fakafepaki ki he taloni ʻo Iaá,+ ʻe faitau ʻa Sihova mo ʻAmaleki mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.”+
