Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe he fefine ʻae tamasiʻi, ʻo ne tauhi ki ai. 10 Pea naʻe tupu ʻae tamasiʻi, pea naʻe ʻomi ia ki he ʻofefine ʻo Felo, pea hoko ia ko ʻene tama. Pea naʻa ne ui hono hingoa ko Mōsese: He naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻohake ia mei he vai.”

Ka naʻe hola ʻa Mōsese mei he ʻao ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻo nofo ʻi he fonua ko Mitiane, pea nofo ia ki lalo ʻi he veʻe vaikeli. 16 Pea ko e taulaʻeiki ʻo Mitiane naʻe toko fitu hono ʻofefine: pea naʻa nau haʻu ke utu ʻae vai, ʻo fakapito ʻae ngaahi ʻaiʻanga vai ke fakainu ʻae fanga manu ʻa ʻenau tamai. 17 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tangata tauhi sipi ʻo tekeʻi atu ʻakinautolu: ka naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Mōsese ʻo ne tokoni ʻakinautolu, ʻo ne fakainu ʻenau fanga manu. 18 Pea ʻi heʻenau aʻu atu kia Liueli ko e nau tamai, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā kuo mou haʻu vave ai he ʻaho ni?” 19 Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e tangata ʻIsipite naʻa ne fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei he nima ʻoe kau tauhi sipi, ʻo ne utu foki ʻae vai lahi kiate kimautolu, ʻo ne fakainu ʻae fanga manu.” 20 Pea pehē ʻe ia ki hono ngaahi ʻofefine, “Pea kuo ʻi fē ia? Ko e hā kuo mou tuku ai pe ʻae tangata? Ui ia, ke haʻu ʻo kai mā.” 21 Pea naʻe loto lelei ʻa Mōsese ke nofo mo e tangata: pea naʻa ne foaki hono ʻofefine ko Sipola kia Mōsese. 22 Pea ne fanauʻi kiate ia ʻae tama, pea naʻa ne ui hono hingoa ko Kesomi; he naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e muli au ʻi he fonua foʻou.”
23 ¶ Pea kuo fuoloa ange naʻe hoko ʻae pekia ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite: pea naʻe toʻe ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e meʻa ʻi honau fakapōpulaʻi, pea naʻa nau tangi, pea naʻe aʻu hake ʻenau tangi ki he ʻOtua ko e meʻa ʻi he fakapōpulaʻi. 24 Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻenau ngaahi toʻe, pea manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻene fuakava kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope. 25 Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻae ʻOtua ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻe tokanga ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kiate kinautolu.
