1 Pea naʻe ʻalu ha tangata ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Livai, ʻo na mali mo ha ʻofefine ʻo Livai.
KII aku la kekahi kanaka o ka ohana a Levi, a lawe ae la i kekahi kaikamahine a Levi.
2 Pea naʻe feitama ʻae fefine, ʻo ne fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama: pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki hono fakaʻofoʻofa, naʻa ne fufū ia ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu.
Hapai ae la ua wahine la, a hanau mai la he keikikane; a ike iho la oia ia ia he maikai, huna iho la oia ia ia ekolu malama.
3 Pea ʻi he ʻikai te ne kei faʻa fufū ia, naʻa ne ngaohi ha vaka louʻakau, ʻo ne pani ia ʻaki ʻae kelepulu, mo e pulu, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae tamasiʻi ki loto; pea ne tuku ia ʻi he potu ʻakau ʻi he veʻe vaitafe.
A i ka wa hiki ole ia ia ke huna hou aku, lawe ae la ia i waa kome nona, a hapala ia mea i ka bitumena a me ke kepau, a hahao iho la i ke keiki maloko; a waiho iho la maloko o na kaluha ma kapa o ka muliwai.
4 Pea naʻe tuʻu mamaʻo atu hono tuofefine, ke vakai pe ko e hā ʻe fai kiate ia.
A ku iho la kona kaikuwahine i kahi mamao aku, e nana i ka mea e hanaia mai ai ia ia.
5 Mo ʻene ʻalu hifo ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Felo ki he vaitafe ke pālutu; pea naʻe ʻeveʻeva hono kau fefine ʻi he veʻe vaitafe; pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki he vaka ʻi he potu ʻakau, naʻa ne fekau ʻene fefine fekau ke ʻalu ʻo ʻomi ia.
Iho iho la ke kaikamahine a Parao e auau ma ka muliwai, hele ae la hoi kona mau wahine ma kapa o ka muliwai: a ike aku la kela i ka waa iwaena o na kaluha, hoouna aku la ia i kona wahine e lawe mai.
6 Pea ʻi heʻene toʻo hono tāpuni, pea mamata ia ki he tamasiʻi, pea vakai, naʻe tangi ʻae tamasiʻi. Pea ʻofa leva ia kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e tamasiʻi eni ʻae kau Hepelū.”
A wehe aku la ia, alaila ike iho la i ke keiki: aia hoi, uwe ae la ua keiki la. Aloha aku la kela ia ia, i aku la. He keiki keia na ka Hebera.
7 Pea pehē leva ʻe hono tuofefine ki he ʻofefine ʻo Felo, “ʻE lelei kiate koe ʻeku ʻalu ʻo ui ha fefine toutama mei he kau Hepelū, koeʻuhi ke ne tauhi ʻae tamasiʻi maʻau?
Alaila, olelo aku la kona kaikuwahine i ke kaikamahine a Parao, E hele hoi ha wau, e kii aku nou i kekahi wahine Hebera i kahu nana e hanai i ke keiki nau?
8 Pea talaange ʻe he ʻofefine ʻo Felo kiate ia, “ʻAlu.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae taʻahine ʻo ne ui ʻae faʻē ʻae tamasiʻi.
I mai la ke kaikamahine a Parao ia ia, O hele. A hele aku la ke kaikamahine, a kii aku la i ka makuwahine o ua keiki la.
9 Pea pehēange ʻe he ʻofefine ʻo Felo kiate ia, “Toʻo ʻae tamasiʻi ni ʻo ʻave, mo ke tauhi ia maʻaku, pea te u totongi koe. Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe he fefine ʻae tamasiʻi, ʻo ne tauhi ki ai.
I mai la ke kaikamahine a Parao ia ia, E lawe oe i keia keiki a e hanai ia ia na'u, a na'u no oe e uku aku. Lawe ae la ua wahine la i ke keiki, a hanai iho la.
10 Pea naʻe tupu ʻae tamasiʻi, pea naʻe ʻomi ia ki he ʻofefine ʻo Felo, pea hoko ia ko ʻene tama. Pea naʻa ne ui hono hingoa ko Mōsese: He naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻohake ia mei he vai.”
A nui ae ua keiki la: a lawe ae la oia ia ia i ke kaikamahine a Parao, a lilo ae la ia i keiki nana. Kapa iho la oia i kona inoa, o Mose, i iho la ia, No ka mea, ua lawe mai au ia ia mailoko mai o ka wai.
11 Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia kuo tupu ʻo lahi ai ʻa Mōsese, naʻe ʻeveʻeva ia kituaʻā ki hono ngaahi kāinga, ʻo ne mamata ki heʻenau ngaahi kavenga: pea naʻa ne sio ki he tangata ʻIsipite ʻoku ne taaʻi ʻae Hepelū, ko e tokotaha ʻi hono kāinga.
Ia mau la mai, i ko Mose wa kanaka makua, hele aku la ia i kona poe hoahanau, nana aku la ia i ko lakou luhi ana; ike aku la ia i kekahi kanaka o Aigupita e pepehi ana i ka Hebera, i kekahi o kona poe hoahanau.
12 Pea fekilokilofaki ia, pea ʻi heʻene sio ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata, naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae tangata ʻIsipite, ʻo ne fufū ia ʻi he ʻoneʻone.
Aloalo ae la ia, a ike iho la, aole kanaka, alaila pepehi iho la ia i ka Aigupita a make, a huna ia ia maloko o ke one.
13 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu kituaʻā ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho, vakai, naʻe fekeeʻi ʻae ongo tangata Hepelū: pea lea ia kiate ia naʻe fai kovi, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke taaʻi ai ho kāinga?”
A i ka lua o ka la, hele hou aku la no ia, aia hoi, elua kanaka Hebera e hakaka ana; i aku la ia i ka mea nona ka hewa, No ke aha la oe e pepehi aku nei i kou hoa?
14 Pea pehē mai ʻe ia, “Ko hai naʻa ne ngaohi koe ko e ʻeiki mo e fakamaau kiate kimautolu? ʻOku ke fie tāmateʻi au, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo tāmateʻi ʻae tangata ʻIsipite?” Pea naʻe manavahē ʻa Mōsese, ʻo ne pehē, “Ta kuo ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni.”
I mai la kela, Nawai la oe i hoolilo ao nei i alii, a i lunakanawai maluna o makou? Ke manao nei anei oe e pepehi mai ia'u, e like mo kou pepehi ana i ka Aigupita? Alaila makau iho la o Mose, i iho la, Oiaio no, ua ikeia koia mea.
15 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Felo ki he meʻa ni, naʻe holi ia ke tāmateʻi ʻa Mōsese. Ka naʻe hola ʻa Mōsese mei he ʻao ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻo nofo ʻi he fonua ko Mitiane, pea nofo ia ki lalo ʻi he veʻe vaikeli.
A lohe ae la o Parao ia mea, imi iho la ia o pepehi ia Mose. Mahuka aku la o Mose mai ka maka aku o Parao, a noho ma ka aina ma Midiana: a noho iho la ia ilalo ma kekahi luawai.
16 Pea ko e taulaʻeiki ʻo Mitiane naʻe toko fitu hono ʻofefine: pea naʻa nau haʻu ke utu ʻae vai, ʻo fakapito ʻae ngaahi ʻaiʻanga vai ke fakainu ʻae fanga manu ʻa ʻenau tamai.
He mau kaikamahine ehiku na ke kahuna ma Midiana. Hele mai la lakou a hukihuki i ka wai, a ninini iloko o na holowaa, e hooinu ai i na holoholona a ko lakou makuakane.
17 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tangata tauhi sipi ʻo tekeʻi atu ʻakinautolu: ka naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Mōsese ʻo ne tokoni ʻakinautolu, ʻo ne fakainu ʻenau fanga manu.
Hele mai la kekahi poe kahuhipa, a kipaku ae la ia lakou. Ku ae la o Mose iluna, a kokua ia lakou, a hooinu aku la i ka lakou poe holoholona.
18 Pea ʻi heʻenau aʻu atu kia Liueli ko e nau tamai, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā kuo mou haʻu vave ai he ʻaho ni?”
A hoi aku la lakou ia Reuela i ko lakou makuakane, ninau mai la ia, No ke aha la oukou i hoi koke mai ai i koia la?
19 Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e tangata ʻIsipite naʻa ne fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei he nima ʻoe kau tauhi sipi, ʻo ne utu foki [ʻae vai ]lahi kiate kimautolu, ʻo ne fakainu ʻae fanga manu.”
I aku la lakou, Na kekahi kanaka o Aigupita i hoopakele ae ia makou mai ka lima mai o ka poe kahuhipa, a huki iho la ia i ka wai no makou a nui, a hooinu aku la i na holoholona.
20 Pea pehē ʻe ia ki hono ngaahi ʻofefine, “Pea kuo ʻi fē ia? Ko e hā kuo mou tuku ai pe ʻae tangata? Ui ia, ke haʻu ʻo kai mā.”
I mai la ia i kana poe kaikamahine, Auhea la hoi ia? No ke aha la oukou i haalele aku ai i ua kanaka la? E kii aku ia ia e ai ia i ka ai.
21 Pea naʻe loto lelei ʻa Mōsese ke nofo mo e tangata: pea naʻa ne foaki hono ʻofefine ko Sipola kia Mōsese.
A walea iho la o Mose e noho me ia kanaka, a haawi mai la oia ia Zipora, kana kaikamahine na Mose.
22 Pea ne fanauʻi kiate ia ʻae tama, pea naʻa ne ui hono hingoa ko Kesomi; he naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e muli au ʻi he fonua foʻou.”
A hanau mai la ia he keikikane, a kapa aku la ia i kona inoa o Geresoma; no ka mea, i iho la ia, Ua malihini au ma ka aina e.
23 Pea kuo fuoloa ange naʻe hoko ʻae pekia ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite: pea naʻe toʻe ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e meʻa ʻi honau fakapōpulaʻi, pea naʻa nau tangi, pea naʻe aʻu hake ʻenau tangi ki he ʻOtua ko e meʻa ʻi he fakapōpulaʻi.
A nui na la i hala, make ke alii o Aigupita, a kaniuhu iho la ka poe mamo a Iseraela, no ka luhi loa ana, a uwe aku la lakou; a hiki aku la ko lakou uwe ana i ke Akua no ko lakou luhi.
24 Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻenau ngaahi toʻe, pea manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻene fuakava kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope.
A lohe ke Akua i ko lakou uwe ana, a manao iho la ia i kana berita me Aberahama, a me Isaaka, a me Iakoba.
25 Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻae ʻOtua ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻe tokanga ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kiate kinautolu.
A nana mai la ke Akua i ka poe mamo a Iseraela, a manao mai la ko Akua ia lakou.
