12 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalame: “ʻAlu atu mei ho fonuá pea mavahe mei ho ngaahi kāingá pea mei he fale ʻo hoʻo tamaí ki he fonua ʻa ia te u fakahā atu kiate koé.+ 2 Te u ngaohi koe ko ha puleʻanga lahi pea te u tāpuakiʻi koe pea te u ʻai ho hingoá ke lahi pea te ke hoko ko ha tāpuaki.+ 3 Te u tāpuakiʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau tāpuakiʻi koé, pea te u fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻa ia ʻokú ne talatukiʻi koé,+ pea ko e ngaahi fāmili kotoa pē ʻo e māmaní ko e moʻoni ʻe tāpuakiʻi kinautolu* fakafou ʻiate koe.”+

4 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻEpalame ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ia naʻe tala ʻe Sihova kiate iá, pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Lote mo ia. Naʻe taʻu 75 ʻa ʻEpalame ʻi he taimi naʻá ne mavahe ai mei Hālaní.+ 5 Naʻe ʻave ʻe ʻEpalame ʻa Sēlai+ ko hono uaifí pea mo Lote ko e foha ʻo hono tokouá+ pea mo e ngaahi koloa kotoa naʻa nau tānakí+ pea mo e kakai naʻa nau maʻu ʻi Hālaní, ʻo nau fononga ki he fonua ko Kēnaní.+ ʻI heʻenau aʻu ki he fonua ko Kēnaní, 6 naʻe fononga atu ʻa ʻEpalame ʻi he fonuá ʻo aʻu ki he feituʻu ko Sīkemi,+ ofi ki he ʻuluʻakau lalahi ʻo Molé.+ ʻI he taimi ko iá naʻe ʻi he fonuá ai ʻa e kau Kēnaní. 7 Naʻe hā leva ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalame ʻo ne folofola: “Te u ʻoatu ʻa e fonuá ni+ ki ho hakó.”+ Ko ia naʻá ne fokotuʻu ʻi ai ha ʻōlita kia Sihova, ʻa ia naʻá ne hā ange kiate iá. 8 Ki mui ai, naʻá ne hiki mei ai ki he feituʻu moʻungaʻia ʻi he hahake ʻo Pētelí+ ʻo ne fokotuʻu ai hono tēnití ʻo tuʻu ʻa Pēteli ʻi he hihifó pea ko ʻAi+ ʻi he hahaké. Naʻá ne fokotuʻu ʻi ai ha ʻōlita kia Sihova+ pea naʻe kamata ke ne ui ki he huafa ʻo Sihová.+ 9 ʻI he hili iá, naʻe hiki ʻa ʻEpalame ʻo ne fononga ki he feituʻu Nīkepí,+ ʻo hiki ʻa hono ʻapitangá mei he feituʻu ki he feituʻu.

10 Pea naʻe malanga hake ʻi he fonuá ha honge, pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa ʻEpalame ki ʻIsipite ke nofo ai ʻi ha taimi,*+ koeʻuhi naʻe mafatukituki ʻa e honge+ ʻi he fonuá. 11 ʻI he teu ke ne hū ki ʻIsipité, naʻá ne pehē kia Sēlai ko hono uaifí: “Kātaki muʻa ʻo fanongo mai! ʻOku ou ʻilo ko ha fefine hoihoifua koe.+ 12 Ko ia ʻi he taimi ʻe sio atu ai ʻa e kau ʻIsipité kiate koé, ko e moʻoni te nau pehē, ‘Ko hono uaifí eni.’ Pea te nau tāmateʻi leva au ka nau tuku koe ke ke moʻui. 13 Kātaki muʻa ʻo pehē ange ko koé ko hoku tuofefine, ke u lakalakaimonū ai koeʻuhí ko koe, pea ʻe fakahaofi ai ʻa ʻeku moʻuí.”+

14 ʻI he hū pē ʻa ʻEpalame ki ʻIsipité, naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe he kau ʻIsipité ko e fefiné naʻá ne hoihoifua ʻaupito. 15 Pea ko e kau māʻolunga ʻa Feló naʻa nau sio foki kiate ia, pea naʻe kamata ke nau vikiʻi ia kia Felo, ko ia naʻe ʻave ai ʻa e fefiné ki he fale ʻo Feló. 16 Naʻá ne failelei kia ʻEpalame koeʻuhí ko ia, pea naʻe maʻu ai ʻe ʻEpalame ha fanga sipi, fanga pulu, fanga ʻasi tangata mo e fefine, kau tamaioʻeiki mo e kau kaunanga, mo e fanga kāmeli.+ 17 Pea naʻe taaʻi leva ʻe Sihova ʻa Felo mo hono falé ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi fuʻu mala lahi koeʻuhi ko Sēlai, ʻa e uaifi ʻo ʻEpalamé.+ 18 Ko ia naʻe ui ʻe Felo ʻa ʻEpalame ʻo ne pehē: “Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ko eni kuó ke fai mai kiate aú? Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai te ke tala mai ai ko ho uaifi iá? 19 Ko e hā naʻá ke pehē ai, ‘Ko hoku tuofefine iá,’+ ʻo u mei ʻave ai ia ke hoko ko hoku uaifí? Ko ena ho uaifí. ʻAve ia peá ke ʻalu!” 20 Ko ia naʻe ʻoange ʻe Felo ha tuʻutuʻuni ki heʻene kau tangatá fekauʻaki mo ia, pea naʻa nau fekauʻi atu ia mo hono uaifí ke na ō pea mo e meʻa kotoa naʻá ne maʻú.+
