2 ʻI he taimi nai ko iá, naʻe mali ai ha tangata ʻe taha ʻo e fale ʻo Līvaí mo ha ʻofefine ʻo Līvai.+ 2 Pea naʻe hoko ʻa e fefiné ʻo feitama peá ne fāʻeleʻi ha tama tangata. ʻI heʻene sio ki heʻene fakaʻofoʻofá, naʻá ne tauhi fakafufū ia ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu.+ 3 ʻI he ʻikai ke ne kei malava ke fufū iá,+ naʻá ne toʻo ha kato* pepailo ʻo valiʻaki ia ʻa e meʻa hangē ha valitaá pea faʻo ʻi ai ʻa e tamá ʻo tuku ʻi he loto kaho ʻi he veʻe Vaitafe Nailá. 4 Ka naʻe tuʻu ʻa hono tuofefiné+ mei he mamaʻó ʻo sio pe ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻe hoko kiate iá.
5 ʻI he ʻalu hifo ʻa e ʻofefine ʻo Feló ke kaukau ʻi he Vaitafe Nailá, naʻe lue ʻa hono kau fefine tauhí ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo e Vaitafe Nailá. Pea naʻá ne fakatokangaʻi atu ʻa e kató ʻi he loto kahó. Naʻá ne fekauʻi leva ʻa ʻene kaunangá ke ʻalu ʻo ʻomai ia.+ 6 ʻI heʻene fakaava hake iá, naʻá ne sio ai ki he tamá, pea naʻe tangi ʻa e tamasiʻí. Naʻá ne ongoʻi manavaʻofa kiate ia, ka naʻá ne pehē: “Ko e taha eni ʻo e fānau ʻa e kau Hepeluú.” 7 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe hono tuofefiné ki he ʻofefine ʻo Feló: “Te u ʻalu ʻo ui mai ha fefine tauhi mei he kau Hepeluú ke ne tauhi ʻa e tamá maʻau?” 8 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he ʻofefine ʻo Feló kiate ia: “ʻAlu!” Naʻe ʻalu leva ʻa e taʻahiné ʻo ui mai ʻa e faʻē ʻa e tamá.+ 9 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe he ʻofefine ʻo Feló kiate ia: “Ke ke ʻalu mo e kiʻi tamá ni ʻo tauhi ia maʻaku, pea te u ʻoatu ha totongi kiate koe.” Ko ia naʻe ʻave ʻe he fefiné ʻa e tamá ʻo tauhi ia. 10 ʻI he tupu hake ʻa e tamá ʻo fuʻu lahí, naʻá ne ʻave ia ki he ʻofefine ʻo Feló, pea naʻá ne hoko ko haʻane tama.+ Naʻá ne fakahingoa ia ko Mōsese* peá ne pehē: “Koeʻuhí he kuó u ʻohake ia mei he vaí.”+
11 Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko iá, hili ʻa e hoko ʻa Mōsese ko ha tokotaha lahí,* naʻá ne ʻalu atu ki hono fanga tokouá ke sio ki he ngaahi kavenga naʻa nau fuá,+ pea naʻá ne fakatokangaʻi atu ai ha tokotaha ʻIsipite ʻokú ne tā ha Hepelū, ko e taha ʻo hono fanga tokouá. 12 Ko ia naʻá ne fakasio ki hē mo ē, pea ʻi he ʻikai te ne sio ki ha tahá, naʻá ne tāmateʻi leva ʻa e ʻIsipité pea fufū ia ʻi he ʻoneʻoné.+
13 Ka naʻá ne ʻalu atu ʻi he ʻaho hono hokó, pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ongo tangata Hepelū naʻá na fuhu. Ko ia naʻá ne pehē ange ki he tokotaha naʻe halá: “Ko e hā ʻokú ke taaʻi ai ho takangá?”+ 14 Naʻá ne pehē ange leva: “Ko hai naʻá ne fakanofo koe ko ha pilinisi mo ha fakamaau kiate kimautolu? ʻOkú ke palani koā ke tāmateʻi au ʻo hangē tofu pē ko hoʻo tāmateʻi ʻa e ʻIsipité?”+ Naʻe ilifia he taimi ko ení ʻa Mōsese ʻo ne pehē: “Tā kuo ʻiloʻi moʻoni ʻa e meʻá ni!”
15 Pea naʻe fanongo ʻa Felo ʻo fekauʻaki mo ia, pea naʻá ne feinga ke tāmateʻi ʻa Mōsese; ka naʻe hola ʻa Mōsese meia Felo ʻo ne ʻalu ʻo nofo ʻi he fonua ko Mitianí,+ pea naʻá ne tangutu hifo ʻi ha veʻe vaitupu. 16 Pea ko e taulaʻeiki ʻo Mitianí+ naʻe ʻi ai hono ngaahi ʻofefine ʻe toko fitu, pea naʻe haʻu ʻa kinautolú ni ke ʻutu vai pea ke fakafonu ʻa e ngaahi ʻaiʻanga inú ke fakainu ʻa e tākanga ʻa ʻenau tamaí. 17 Kae hangē ko ia naʻe faʻa hokó, naʻe haʻu ʻa e kau tauhi-sipí ʻo tuli kinautolu. ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Mōsese ʻo ne tokoni ki he* kau fefiné pea fakainu ʻenau tākangá. 18 ʻI heʻenau aʻu ki ʻapi kia Liueli*+ ko ʻenau tamaí, naʻá ne kalanga: “ʻOku anga-fēfē hoʻomou foki vave pehē mai ki ʻapi he ʻaho ní?” 19 Naʻa nau tali ange: “Naʻe fakahaofi kimautolu ʻe ha ʻIsipite+ mei he kau tauhi-sipí, pea aʻu ʻo ne ʻutu mai ʻa e vai maʻamautolu pea fakainu ʻa e tākangá.” 20 Naʻá ne pehē ange ki hono ngaahi ʻofefiné: “Ka ko fē ia? Ko e hā naʻa mou tuku ai pē ʻa e tangatá ʻi aí? Ui mai ia, koeʻuhí ke ne kai mo kitautolu.” 21 ʻI he hili iá, naʻe loto ʻa Mōsese ke nofo mo e tangatá, pea naʻá ne ʻoange ʻa Sīpola+ ko hono ʻofefiné kia Mōsese ke na mali. 22 Ki mui ai naʻá ne fanauʻi ha tama tangata, pea naʻe fakahingoa ia ʻe Mōsese ko Kēsomi,*+ he naʻá ne pehē, “Kuó u nofo ko ha muli ʻi ha fonua muli.”+
23 ʻI he hili ha taimi fuoloa,* naʻe mate ʻa e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipité,+ ka naʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e toʻe ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí koeʻuhi ko e nofo pōpulá pea naʻa nau tangi ʻi he lāunga, pea ko ʻenau tangi ki ha tokoni koeʻuhi ko e nofo pōpulá naʻe hanganaki ʻalu hake ki he ʻOtua moʻoní.+ 24 Naʻe faifai pē ʻo fanongo ʻa e ʻOtuá ki heʻenau toʻé,+ pea naʻe manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa ʻene fuakava mo ʻĒpalahame, ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkopé.+ 25 Ko ia naʻe vakai hifo ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he kau ʻIsilelí; pea naʻe tokanga ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate kinautolu.
