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.

¹¹Pea naʻe hoko ʻae honge mo e mamahi lahi ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite mo Kēnani: pea naʻe ʻikai maʻu ha meʻakai ʻe heʻetau ngaahi tamai.

¹²Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Sēkope ʻoku ʻi ʻIsipite ʻae uite, naʻa ne tomuʻa fekau atu) ʻa ʻetau ngaahi tamai.

¹³Pea ʻi hono tuʻo ua hifo, naʻe fakahā ʻa Siosefa ki hono kāinga; pea naʻe fakahā ʻae kāinga ʻo Siosefa kia Felo.

¹⁴Pea toki fekau ʻe Siosefa, ke ʻomi ʻa ʻene tamai ko Sēkope, mo hono kāinga kotoa pē, ko e toko fitungofulu ma toko nima.

¹⁵Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Sēkope ki ʻIsipite, pea naʻe pekia ai, ʻaia mo e tau ngaahi tamai.

¹⁶Pea naʻe fetuku ʻakinautolu ki Sikemi, ʻo tuku ki he fonualoto naʻe fakatau ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻaki ʻae ngaahi paʻanga mei he foha ʻo ʻEmoa ko e tamai ʻa Sikemi.

¹⁷“Ka kuo fakaʻaʻau ʻo ofi ʻae kuonga naʻe talaʻofa ki ai, ʻaia naʻe fuakava ki ai ʻe he ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame, pea tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻae kakai ʻi ʻIsipite,

¹⁸‌ʻO aʻu ki he hoko ʻae tuʻi ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ia ʻa Siosefa.

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,
