ʻEkisoto 5:1-23
5 ʻI he hili iá, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻĒlone ʻo na pehē kia Felo: “Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí, ‘Tuku mai ʻa hoku kakaí ke nau ʻalu koeʻuhi ke nau fai ha kātoanga kiate au ʻi he toafá.’”
2 Ka naʻe pehē ange ʻe Felo: “Ko hai ʻa Sihova+ ke u talangofua ai ki hono leʻó ʻo tuku atu ʻa ʻIsileli ke nau ʻalu?+ ʻOku ʻikai ʻaupito haʻaku momoʻi ʻilo ʻa Sihova, pea ko e taha, ʻe ʻikai te u tuku atu ʻe au ʻa ʻIsileli ke nau ʻalu.”+
3 Ka naʻá na pehē: “Ko e ʻOtua ʻo e kau Hepeluú kuó ne fetuʻutaki mo kimautolu. Kātaki muʻa, ʻoku mau loto ke fai ha fononga ʻaho ʻe tolu ki he toafá ʻo fai ha feilaulau kia Sihova ko homau ʻOtuá;+ he ka ʻikai, te ne taaʻi kimautolu ʻaki ʻa e mahaki pe ʻaki ʻa e heletā.”
4 Naʻe tali ange ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipité kiate kinaua: “ʻE Mōsese mo ʻĒlone, ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻokú mo ʻave ai ʻa e kakaí mei heʻenau ngāué? Foki ki hoʻomou ngāué!”*+
5 Pea naʻe hoko atu ʻa Felo: “Sio atu ki he tokolahi ʻo e kakai ʻo e fonuá, pea te mo ʻai kinautolu ke nau mālōlō mei heʻenau ngāué.”
6 ʻI he ʻaho tatau pē ko iá, naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ai ʻa Felo ki he kau pule ngāué mo ʻenau kau taki ngāué:
7 “Kuo pau ke ʻoua te mou kei ʻoange ʻa e kauʻi uite ki he kakaí ke nau ngaohi ʻaki ʻa e pilikí.+ Tuku ke nau ō ʻo tānaki ha kauʻi uite maʻanautolu.
8 Ka kuo pau ke mou kei hilifaki pē kiate kinautolu ʻa e lahi pau ʻo e ngaahi foʻi pilikí ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa nau ngaohi ʻi he kuohilí. ʻOua ʻe fakasiʻisiʻi ia kiate kinautolu, he ʻoku nau fakafiefiemālie.* Ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻoku nau kalanga ai, ‘ʻOku mau loto ke mau ō, ʻoku mau loto ke fai ha feilaulau ki homau ʻOtuá!’
9 ʻAi ke nau ngāue mālohi ange, pea fakafemoʻuekinaʻi ai pē kinautolu koeʻuhi ke ʻoua te nau tokanga ki he ngaahi loí.”
10 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa e kau pule ngāué+ mo ʻenau kau taki ngāué ʻo pehē ki he kakaí: “Ko e meʻa eni kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Feló, ‘Heʻikai te u toe ʻoatu kiate kimoutolu ha kauʻi uite.
11 Mou ō ʻo ʻomai haʻamou kauʻi uite maʻamoutolu ʻi ha feituʻu pē ʻe lava ke mou maʻu ai, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke fakasiʻisiʻi ʻa hoʻomou ngāué.’”
12 Pea naʻe movete ʻa e kakaí ʻi he fonua kotoa ko ʻIsipité ke tānaki mai ʻa e tukeʻi uité ke ngāueʻaki ko ʻenau kauʻi uité ia.
13 Pea naʻe hanganaki uki kinautolu ʻe he kau pule ngāué: “Kuo pau ke mou taki taha ʻai ke ʻosi hoʻomou ngāué ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ʻo hangē pē ko e taimi naʻe tokonaki atu ai ʻa e kauʻi uité.”
14 Pehē foki, naʻe haha+ ʻa e kau taki ngāue ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí, ʻa ia kuo fakanofo kiate kinautolu ʻe he kau pule ngāue ʻa Feló. Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe he kau pule ngāué: “Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ke aʻu ai ki he lahi pau ʻo e ngaahi foʻi piliki ʻa ia naʻa mou faʻa ngaohí? Naʻe hoko fakatouʻosi ia ʻaneafi pea mo e ʻahó ni.”
15 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa e kau taki ngāue ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí ʻo lāunga kia Felo: “Ko e hā ʻokú ke fai peheni ai ki hoʻo kau sevānití?
16 ʻOku ʻikai ke ʻomai ha kauʻi uite ki hoʻo kau sevānití, neongo ia ʻoku nau pehē mai kiate kimautolu, ‘Ngaohi piliki!’ ʻOku haha ʻa hoʻo kau sevānití, ka ko e foʻui ia ʻo ho kakai ʻoʻoú.”
17 Ka naʻá ne pehē ange: “ʻOku mou fakafiefiemālie,* ʻoku mou fakafiefiemālie!*+ Ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻoku mou pehē ai, ‘ʻOku mau loto ke mau ō, ʻoku mau loto ke fai ha feilaulau kia Sihová.’+
18 Ko ia mou ō leva, foki ki he ngāué! ʻE ʻikai ʻoatu ha kauʻi uite kiate kimoutolu, ka kuo pau ke mou kei ngaohi pē ʻa e lahi pau ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi foʻi pilikí.”
19 Naʻe vakai leva ʻa e kau taki ngāue ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí naʻa nau faingataʻaʻia lahi koeʻuhi ko e tuʻutuʻuni: “Kuo pau ke ʻoua ʻaupito te mou fakasiʻisiʻi ʻa e lahi pau ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi foʻi piliki ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tahá.”
20 ʻI he hili iá, naʻa nau fakafetaulaki kia Mōsese mo ʻĒlone, ʻa ia naʻá na tuʻu ai ke fetaulaki mo kinautolu ʻi heʻenau haʻu meia Feló.
21 Naʻa nau pehē ange leva kiate kinaua: “ʻOfa ke vakai hifo ʻa Sihova kiate kimoua peá ne fakamaau, koeʻuhí kuó mo ʻai ʻa Felo mo ʻene kau sevānití ke nau fehiʻanekinaʻi kimautolu,* pea kuó mo ʻai ki honau nimá ha heletā ke tāmateʻi ʻaki kimautolu.”+
22 Naʻe hanga hake leva ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova ʻo ne pehē: “ʻE Sihova, ko e hā kuó ke fakamamahiʻi ai ʻa e kakaí ni? Ko e hā kuó ke fekauʻi ai aú?
23 Mei he taimi naʻá ku ʻalu atu ai ki he ʻao ʻo Feló ke lea ʻi ho huafá,+ kuó ne fakafeangai ʻo toe kovi ange ai ki he kakaí ni,+ pea kuo ʻikai moʻoni ke ke fakahaofi ho kakaí.”+
