< ʻEkisotosi 4 >
1 Pea naʻe leaange ʻa Mōsese ʻo pehē, “Kae vakai, ʻe ʻikai te nau tui kiate au, pe tokanga ki hoku leʻo: he te nau pehē, naʻe ʻikai hā mai ʻa Sihova kiate koe.”
2 Pea pehēange ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻena ʻi ho nima? Pea naʻa ne pehē, Ko e tokotoko.”
3 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Si ia ki he kelekele. Pea ne si ia ki he kelekele, pea hoko leva ia ko e ngata; pea hola ʻa Mōsese mei hono ʻao.”
4 Pea pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Mafao atu ho nima ʻo puke ia ʻi hono iku.” Pea mafao atu ʻe ia hono nima, ʻo ne puke ia, pea liliu ia ko e tokotoko ʻi hono nima.
5 “Koeʻuhi ke nau tui ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻAisake, mo e ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope, kuo hā mai kiate koe.”
6 Pea toe pehēange ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Ko eni, ai ho nima ki ho fatafata.” Pea naʻa ne ai hono nima ki hono fatafata: pea ʻi heʻene toʻo ia mei ai, vakai, kuo kilia hono nima pea hangē ko e ʻuha hinehina.
7 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Toe ai ho nima ki ho fatafata.” Pea ne toe ai hono nima ki hono fatafata; pea toe toʻo ia mei hono fatafata, pea vakai, kuo toe liliu ia ke hangē ko e anga ʻo hono sino.
8 Pea ʻe pehē, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau tui kiate koe, pe tokanga ki he leʻo ʻoe ʻuluaki fakaʻilonga, te nau tui ki he leʻo ʻoe fakaʻilonga fakamui.
9 Pea ʻe pehē, kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau tui foki ki he fakaʻilonga ni ʻe ua, pe tokanga ki ho leʻo, pea te ke ohu ʻae vai mei he vaitafe, ʻo lilingi ia ki he kelekele: pea ko e vai ʻoku ke ohu mei he vaitafe, ʻe liliu ia ko e toto ki he kelekele mōmoa.”
10 Pea pehēange ʻe Mōsese kia Sihova, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, ʻOku ʻikai ko e leʻo afea au talu mei muʻa, pe talu hoʻo folofola ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: ka ko e lea tōʻohi au, mo e ʻelelo tōʻohi.”
11 Pea pehēange ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Ko hai naʻe ngaohi ʻae ngutu ʻoe tangata? Pea ko hai ʻoku ne ngaohi ʻae noa, pe ko e tuli, pe ko e mata ʻaa, pe ko e kui? ʻIkai ko au Sihova?
12 Pea ko eni, ke ke ʻalu, pea ko au, teu ʻi ho ngutu, ke ako kiate ko e ʻaia te ke lea ʻaki.”
13 Pea ne pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fekau ʻi he nima ʻo ia ʻoku ke lelei ke fekau ki ai.”
14 Pea naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova kia Mōsese, pea ne pehē, “ʻIkai ko ho taʻokete ʻa ʻElone ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Livai? ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku lea lelei ia. Pea vakai foki, ʻoku haʻu ia ke fakafetaulaki kiate koe: pea ka mamata ia kiate koe, pea ʻe fiefia ia ʻi hono loto.
15 Pea te ke lea ko e kiate ia, ʻo ʻai ʻae ngaahi lea ki hono ngutu: pea te uʻi ho ngutu mo hono ngutu, ke akoʻi ʻakimoua ʻaia te mo fai.
16 Pea ʻe hoko ia ko hoʻo tangata lea ki he kakai: pea ʻe hoko ia, ʻio ʻe ʻiate koe ia, ko e ngutu, pea te ke ʻiate ia ko e fetongi ʻoe ʻOtua.
17 Pea te ke ʻave ʻae tokotoko ni ʻi ho nima, ʻaia te ke fai ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga.”
18 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese ʻo hoko atu kia Setelo ko ʻene tamai ʻi he fono, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ke ke tuku au ke u ʻalu, ʻo foki atu ki hoku ngaahi kāinga ʻoku ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻo vakai pe ʻoku nau kei moʻui.” Pea talaange ʻe Setelo kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu ʻi he fiemālie.”
19 Pea pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi Mitiane, “ʻAlu, ʻo toe foki ki ʻIsipite: he kuo mate ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē naʻa nau fie tāmateʻi koe.”
20 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Mōsese hono uaifi mo hono ongo foha ʻo fakaheka ʻakinautolu ki he ʻasi, pea toe ʻalu ia ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite: pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Mōsese ʻae tokotoko ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi hono nima.
21 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻOka ke ka ʻalu ke toe hoko ki ʻIsipite, vakai, ke ke fai ʻae ngaahi mana ni kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, ʻaia kuo u ʻai ki ho nima: ka te u fakafefeka hono loto, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻae kakai ke ʻalu:”
22 Pea te ke lea kia Felo, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko hoku foha ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻio, ko hoku ʻuluaki.
23 Pea ʻoku ou tala atu kiate koe, Tukuange hoku foha ke ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke ne tauhi au: pea kapau te ke taʻofi ʻo ʻikai tukuange ia, vakai, Te u tāmateʻi ho foha, ʻio, ʻa ho ʻuluaki.’”
24 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he hala ʻi he fale talifononga, naʻe fakafetaulaki ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ko e kumi ke tāmateʻi ia.
25 Pea naʻe toʻo ai ʻe Sipola ʻae maka māsila, ʻo ne kamuʻi ʻene tama, ʻo ne si ia ki hono vaʻe, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ko e mali pani toto koe kiate au.”
26 Ko ia ne ne tukuange ia ke ʻalu: pea pehē ʻe ia, Ko e mali pani toto koe, ko e meʻa ʻi he kamu.
27 Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe Sihova kia ʻElone, “ʻAlu atu ki he toafa ke fakafetaulaki kia Mōsese.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia, ʻo fakafetaulaki kiate ia ʻi he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ne ʻuma kiate ia.
28 Pea naʻe tala ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe fekauʻi ia, mo e ngaahi mana kotoa pē naʻa ne fekau kiate ia.
29 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻo fakakātoa ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
30 Pea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ʻElone ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, pea ne fai ʻae ngaahi mana ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai.
31 Pea naʻe tui ʻae kakai: pea ʻi heʻenau fanongo kuo ʻaʻahi ʻa Sihova ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea kuo ʻafio ia ki heʻenau mamahi, naʻa nau punou hifo honau mata ʻo hū.
