Nomipā 20:4-11

⁴Pea ko e hā kuo mo ʻomi ai ʻae kakai ʻa Sihova ki he toafa ni ke mau mate ʻi heni mo ʻemau fanga manu?

⁵Pea ko e hā kuo mo ʻomi ai ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite, ke ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki he potu kovi ni? ʻOku ʻikai ha tenga ʻi he potu ni, pe ha fiki, pe ha vaine, pe ha pomikanite; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha vai ʻi ai ke mau inu.”

⁶Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea naʻa na tō ki hona mata, pea naʻe hā mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova kiate kinaua.

⁷Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

⁸“Ke ke toʻo ʻae tokotoko, pea tānaki ʻae kakai kenau fakataha, ʻa koe mo ʻElone ko ho taʻokete, pea mo lea ki he maka ʻi honau ʻao, pea ʻe foaki mai ʻe ia ʻa hono vai, pea te ke ʻomi ʻae vai mei he maka kiate kinautolu, pea te ke foaki pehē ʻae vai ki he kakai mo ʻenau fanga manu kenau inu.”

⁹Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Mōsese ʻae tokotoko mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo hangē ko ʻene fekau kiate ia.

¹⁰Pea naʻe fakataha ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻae kakai ki he ʻao ʻoe maka, pea naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou fanongo mai ʻae kau angatuʻu; ʻoku lelei ke ma ʻomi ʻae vai mei he maka ni kiate kimoutolu?”

¹¹Pea naʻe hiki hake ʻe Mōsese ʻa hono nima, pea naʻa ne taaʻi ʻae maka ʻo liunga ua ʻaki ʻa hono tokotoko, pea naʻe hā mai ʻae vai ʻo lahi, pea naʻe inu ai ʻae kakai mo ʻenau fanga manu foki.
