Ngāue 7:19-37

¹⁹Pea naʻe fai kākā ia ki hotau kāinga, mo fai fakamamahi ki heʻetau ngaahi tamai, pea naʻa nau lī ai kituaʻā ʻenau fānau valevale, ke ʻoua naʻa nau moʻui.

²⁰Pea feʻunga mo ia naʻe fanauʻi ʻa Mōsese, pea naʻe fakaʻofoʻofa lahi ia, pea naʻe tauhi fufū ia ʻi he fale ʻo ʻene tamai ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu:

²¹Pea ʻi he tuku ia kituʻa, naʻe toʻo hake ia ʻe he ʻofefine ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ngaohi ia maʻane tama.

²²Pea naʻe akonakiʻi ʻa Mōsese ʻi he poto kotoa pe ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite, pea naʻe mālohi ia ʻi he lea mo e ngaue.

²³“Pea kuo kakato kiate ia ʻae taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, pea tupu ʻi hono loto ke ʻaʻahi ki hono kāinga ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

²⁴Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki he tokotaha naʻe teʻia taʻetotonu, naʻa ne langomakiʻi ia, ʻo totongi, ia kuo fakamālohiʻi, mo tāmateʻi ʻae tangata ʻIsipite:

²⁵He naʻe mahalo ʻe ia kuo ʻilo ʻe hono kāinga ʻe fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻakinautolu ʻi hono nima: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo.

²⁶Pea pongipongi ai, naʻa ne fakahā ia kiate kinautolu lolotonga ʻenau kē, pea ne fai ke fakalelei ʻakinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Kau tangata, ko e kāinga ʻakimoutolu; ko e hā ʻoku mo fefaikoviʻaki ai?’

²⁷Ka ko ia naʻe fai kovi ki hono kaungāʻapi, ne ne tekeʻi atu ia, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko hai naʻa ne fakanofo koe koe pule mo e fakamaau kiate kimautolu?’

²⁸Te ke tāmateʻi au, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo tāmateʻi ʻaneafi ʻae tangata ʻIsipite?

²⁹Pea toki hola ʻa Mōsese ʻi he lea ko ia, pea ʻāunofo ia ʻi he fonua ko Mitiani, pea naʻe tupu ʻiate ia ʻi ʻae foha ʻe toko ua.

³⁰“Pea kuo hili ʻae taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, pea hā mai kiate ia, ʻi he toafa ʻoe moʻunga ko Sainai, ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki, ʻi he ulo afi ʻi he ʻulu ʻakau.

³¹Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Mōsese ki ai, naʻe ofo ia ʻi heʻene hā mai: pea ʻi heʻene ʻunuʻunu atu ke vakai, naʻe ongo mai kiate ia ʻae leʻo ʻoe ʻEiki,

³²ʻO pehē, ‘Ko e ʻOtua au ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻAisake, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.’ Pea naʻe toki tetetete ʻa Mōsese, pea manavahē ke sio.

³³Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki kiate ia, Toʻo ho topuvaʻe ʻi ho vaʻe; he ko e potu ʻoku ke tuʻu ai ko e potu māʻoniʻoni.

³⁴Kuo u mamata, kuo u mamata, ki he mamahi, ʻa hoku kakai ʻi ʻIsipite, pea kuo u fanongo ki heʻenau toʻe, pea kuo u ʻalu hifo ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu. Pea ke haʻu, te u fekau koe ki ʻIsipite.

³⁵Ko Mōsese ʻeni, ʻaia naʻa nau liʻaki, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko hai ne ne fakanofo koe koe pule mo e fakamaau?’ Ko ia ia naʻe fekau ʻe he ʻOtua ko e ʻeiki mo e huhuʻi, ʻi he nima ʻoe ʻāngelo naʻe hā mai kiate ia ʻi he ʻulu ʻakau.

³⁶Pea ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei ai, kuo hili ʻene fai ʻae ngaahi mana mo e ngāue fakaofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mo e Tahi Kulokula, pea mo e toafa, ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu.

³⁷Pea ko e Mōsese ko ia eni, naʻe pehē ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ‘ʻE fokotuʻu kiate kimoutolu ʻe he ʻEiki ko homou ʻOtua ha palōfita ʻi homou kāinga, ke hangē ko au; pea te mou fanongo kiate ia.’
