Ngāue 7:2-10

²Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAe kau tangata kāinga mo e mātuʻa, mou fanongo; naʻe hā mai ʻae ʻOtua lāngilangi ki heʻetau tamai ko ʻEpalahame, ʻi heʻene kei ʻi Mesopōtemia, kae teʻeki nofo ia ʻi Kalana,

³‌ʻO ne pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻAlu ʻi ho fonua, mei ho kāinga, pea ke ʻalu ki he fonua te u fakahā kiate koe.’

⁴Pea toki haʻu ia mei he fonua ko Kalitia, ʻo nofo ʻi Kalana: pea ʻi he pekia ʻa ʻene tamai, pea toki hiki ia mei ai ki he fonua ni, ʻaia ʻoku mou nofo ai ni.

⁵Pea naʻe ʻikai te ne foaki kiate ia ha ʻapi ʻi ai, pe ha potu ke tuʻu ai hono vaʻe: ka naʻa ne fakaʻilo te ne foaki ia moʻona, pea mo hono hako ki mui ʻiate ia, ka naʻe teʻeki ai haʻane fānau.

⁶Pea naʻe pehē ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua, ‘ʻE nofo ʻāunofo hono hako ʻi ha fonua kehe; pea ʻe fakapōpulaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai, mo ngaohi kovi ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngeau.’

⁷Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua, Te u tautea ʻae puleʻanga te nau pōpula ki ai: pea hili ia, te nau haʻu mei ai, ʻo tauhiʻi au ʻi he potu ni.

⁸Pea ne tuku kiate ia ʻae fuakava ʻoe kamu: pea naʻe tupu ʻa ʻAisake, pea kamu ia ʻi hono ʻaho valu; pea tupu ʻia ʻAisake ʻa Sēkope; pea tupu ʻia Sēkope, ʻae houʻeiki mātuʻa ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua.

⁹“Pea naʻe loto meheka ʻae kau mātuʻa kia Siosefa, pea naʻa nau fakatau ia ki ʻIsipite: ka naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ʻOtua,

¹⁰‌ʻO ne fakamoʻui ia mei heʻene mamahi kotoa pē, pea naʻa ne pule ke ʻofeina ia mo poto ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite; pea ne fakanofo ia ko e pule ki ʻIsipite mo hono fale kotoa pē.
