32 Lolotonga ení, naʻe vakai ʻa e kakaí kuo tuai ʻa e ʻalu hifo ʻa Mōsese mei he moʻungá.+ Ko ia naʻe fakatahataha ʻa e kakaí takatakai ʻia ʻĒlone ʻo nau pehē kiate ia: “Tuʻu hake, ngaohi maʻatautolu ha ʻotua ʻa ia te ne ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate kitautolu,+ koeʻuhí ʻoku ʻikai te tau ʻiloʻi pe ko e hā kuo hoko ki he Mōsese ko ení, ʻa e tangata ko ia naʻá ne taki mai kitautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipité.” 2 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ʻe ʻĒlone kiate kinautolu: “Vete ʻa e ngaahi hau koulá+ mei he telinga ʻo homou ngaahi uaifí, ko homou ngaahi fohá, pea mo homou ngaahi ʻofefiné pea ʻomai ia kiate au.” 3 Ko ia naʻe kamata ke vete ʻe he kakaí kotoa ʻa e ngaahi hau koula naʻe ʻi honau telingá ʻo ʻomai ia kia ʻĒlone. 4 Naʻá ne toʻo leva ʻa e koulá meiate kinautolu, pea naʻá ne tongi ia ʻaki ha meʻangāue ʻo ngaohiʻaki ha ʻīmisi* ʻo ha ʻuhikiʻi pulu.+ Naʻe kamata ke nau pehē: “Ko eni ho ʻOtuá, ʻe ʻIsileli, ʻa ia naʻá ne taki mai koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipité.”+

5 ʻI he sio ʻa ʻĒlone ki he meʻa ko ení, naʻá ne fokotuʻu ha ʻōlita ʻi muʻa ai. Naʻe ui atu leva ʻa ʻĒlone: “ʻOku ʻi ai ha kātoanga kia Sihova ʻapongipongi.” 6 Ko ia naʻa nau tuʻu pongipongia hake he ʻaho hono hokó ʻo kamata foaki ha ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo ʻohake ha ngaahi feilaulau feʻinasiʻaki. Hili iá, naʻe tangutu hifo ʻa e kakaí ke nau kai mo inu. Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hake leva ke fakafiefia.+

7 Naʻe folofola he taimi ko ení ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese: “ʻAlu, ʻalu hifo, koeʻuhí ko ho kakai ʻa ia naʻá ke taki mai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipité, kuo nau fai ʻa e tōʻonga te nau ʻauha ai.+ 8 Kuo vave ʻenau afe mei he hala naʻá ku tuʻutuʻuni ke nau fou aí.+ Kuo nau ngaohi maʻanautolu ha ʻīmisi* ʻo ha ʻuhikiʻi pulu, pea nau hanganaki punou hifo ki ai ʻo faifeilaulau ki ai mo pehē, ‘Ko eni ho ʻOtuá, ʻe ʻIsileli, ʻa ia naʻá ne taki mai koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipité.’” 9 Naʻe hoko atu ʻa Sihova ʻo ne folofola kia Mōsese: “Kuó u vakai ko ha kakai loto-fefeka*+ eni. 10 Ko ia tuku ange muʻa au, pea te u fakaʻauha ʻosi kinautolu ʻi he kakaha ʻa ʻeku houhaú, pea tuku ke u ngaohi ha puleʻanga lahi meiate koe.”+

11 Pea ko Mōsese naʻá ne kōlenga kia* Sihova ko hono ʻOtuá+ ʻo ne pehē: “Ko e hā ai, ʻe Sihova, ke ke fakahanga ʻa e kakaha ʻo hoʻo houhaú ki ho kakaí hili ia hono ʻomi kinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipité ʻaki ʻa e fuʻu ivi mālohi mo ha nima māfimafi?+ 12 Ko e hā ke pehē ai ʻe he kau ʻIsipité, ‘Naʻe ʻi ai ʻene ngaahi taumuʻa kovi ʻi heʻene taki atu kinautolú. Naʻá ne loto ke tāmateʻi kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi moʻungá pea fakaʻauha ʻosi kinautolu mei he funga ʻo māmaní’?+ Tafoki mei he kakaha ʻo hoʻo houhaú pea toe fakakaukau ange ki hoʻo* fili ke ʻomai ʻa e mala ko ení ki ho kakaí. 13 Manatuʻi ʻa ʻĒpalahame, ʻAisake, mo ʻIsileli ko hoʻo kau sevānití, ʻa ia naʻá ke fai ha fuakava ʻiate koe pē ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu: ‘Te u fakatokolahi homou hakó ke hangē ko e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻo e langí,+ pea te u foaki ʻa e fonua kotoa ko eni kuó u vaheʻí ki homou hakó, koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu ia ko ha tofiʻa tuʻuloa.’”+

14 Ko ia naʻe kamata ke toe fakakaukau* ʻa Sihova ki he mala naʻá ne folofolaʻaki ʻe ʻomi ki hono kakaí.+

15 Pea naʻe tafoki ʻa Mōsese ʻo ne ʻalu hifo mei he moʻungá mo e ongo lauʻimaka ʻo e Fakamoʻoní+ ʻi hono nimá.+ Ko e ongo lauʻimaká naʻe tongi fakatouʻosi ʻa hono ongo tafaʻakí; ʻo tohi ai ʻi muʻa mo mui. 16 Ko e ongo lauʻimaká ko e ngāue ia ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea ko e tohí naʻe tohi ia ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo tongi ʻi he ongo lauʻimaká.+ 17 ʻI he kamata ke fanongo ʻa Siosiua ki he longoaʻa ʻa e kakaí koeʻuhi ko ʻenau kaikailá, naʻá ne pehē ange kia Mōsese: “ʻOku ongo mai ha tau ʻi he ʻapitangá.” 18 Ka naʻe pehē ange ʻe Mōsese:

19 ʻI he fakaofi atu pē ʻa Mōsese ki he ʻapitangá ʻo ne sio ki he ʻuhikiʻi pulú+ mo e meʻé, naʻe kamata ke kakaha ʻa ʻene ʻitá, pea naʻá ne tolongi ʻa e ongo lauʻimaká mei hono nimá ʻo na movete ʻi he veʻe moʻungá.+ 20 Naʻá ne toʻo ʻa e ʻuhikiʻi pulu naʻa nau ngaohí ʻo ne tutu ia ʻaki ʻa e afi pea laiki ia ʻo efuefu;+ hili iá, naʻá ne afuhi ia ʻi he vaí peá ne ʻai ke inu ia ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí.+ 21 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia ʻĒlone: “Ko e hā naʻe fai ʻe he kakaí ni kiate koé ʻo ke ʻomi ai ha fuʻu angahala kiate kinautolú?” 22 Naʻe tali ange ʻe ʻĒlone: “ʻOua naʻá ke tuputāmaki lahi, ʻe hoku ʻeiki. ʻOkú ke ʻiloʻi lelei ko e kakaí ʻoku nau hehema ke faikovi.+ 23 Ko ia naʻa nau pehē mai kiate au, ‘Ngaohi maʻatautolu ha ʻotua ʻa ia te ne ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate kitautolu, he ʻoku ʻikai te tau ʻiloʻi pe ko e hā kuo hoko ki he Mōsese ko ení, ʻa e tangata ko ia naʻá ne taki mai kitautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipité.’+ 24 Ko ia naʻá ku pehē ange kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻIlonga ha taha ʻoku ʻi ai haʻane koula kuo pau ke ne vete ia ʻo ʻomai kiate au.’ Naʻá ku lī leva ia ki he afí pea maʻu mei ai ʻa e ʻuhikiʻi pulu ko ení.”

25 Naʻe sio ʻa Mōsese ko e kakaí naʻa nau anga-taʻefakamaʻumaʻu, he naʻe tuku ai pē kinautolu ʻe ʻĒlone ke nau hoko ʻo anga-taʻefakamaʻumaʻu, ʻo nau hoko ai ko ha meʻa fakamā ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau kau fakafepakí. 26 Naʻe tuʻu leva ʻa Mōsese ʻi he matapā ʻo e ʻapitangá ʻo ne pehē: “Ko hai ʻoku kau mo Sihová? Haʻu kiate au!”+ Pea ko e kau Līvaí kotoa naʻa nau fakatahataha takatakai ʻiate ia. 27 Naʻá ne pehē atu leva kiate kinautolu: “Ko e meʻa eni kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí, ‘Ko kimoutolu taki taha kuo pau ke ne fakamaʻu ʻa ʻene heletaá pea laka atu ʻi he ʻapitangá kotoa mei he matapā ki he matapā, ʻo tāmateʻi ʻa hono tokoua, ko hono kaungāʻapi, mo hono kaumeʻa ofi.’”+ 28 Naʻe fai ʻa e kau Līvaí ki he meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Mōsesé. Ko ia ʻi he ʻaho ko iá, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko 3,000 nai naʻe tāmateʻí. 29 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Mōsese: “Fakamavaheʻi kimoutolu* maʻa Sihova he ʻahó ni, he ko kimoutolu taki taha kuó ne ʻalu atu ki hono fohá tonu mo hono tokouá tonu;+ ʻi he ʻaho ní te ne ʻoatu kiate koe ha tāpuaki.”+

30 ʻI he ʻaho pē hono hokó, naʻe pehē ai ʻe Mōsese ki he kakaí: “Kuo mou fai ha fuʻu angahala lahi, pea ko eni te u ʻalu hake kia Sihova ke sio pe ʻe lava ke u fai ha kole fakamolemole koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou angahalá.”+ 31 Ko ia naʻe foki ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova ʻo ne pehē: “Ko ha angahala lahi moʻoni ē kuo fai ʻe he kakaí ni! Kuo nau ngaohi maʻanautolu ha ʻotua mei he koulá!+ 32 Ka ko eni kapau ʻokú ke finangalo lelei ki ai, fakamolemoleʻi muʻa ʻenau angahalá;+ kapau ʻe ʻikai, tāmateʻi ange muʻa au mei hoʻo tohi kuó ke hikí.”+ 33 Kae kehe, naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese: “ʻIlonga ʻa ia kuó ne faiangahala kiate aú, te u tāmateʻi ia mei heʻeku tohí. 34 ʻAlu leva he taimí ni, taki ʻa e kakaí ki he feituʻu ʻa ia kuó u folofola atu kiate koe fekauʻaki mo iá. Vakai! ʻE ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻa ʻeku ʻāngeló ʻiate koe,+ pea ʻi he ʻaho te u fai ai ha ʻeké, te u ʻomi ʻa e tautea kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻenau angahalá.” 35 Naʻe kamata leva ke taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e kakaí koeʻuhí ko ʻenau ngaohi ʻa e ʻuhikiʻi pulú, ʻa e ʻuhikiʻi pulu ko ia naʻe ngaohi ʻe ʻĒloné.
