21.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAlati, ko e Kēnani, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he potu tonga, kuo haʻu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he hala ʻoe kau mataki; naʻa ne tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo ʻave ʻae niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu ʻo fakapōpulaʻi. 
Pea naʻe fuakava ʻaki ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae fuakava kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te ke tuku mai ʻae kakai ni ki hoku nima, te u toki fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻa honau ngaahi kolo.” 
Pea naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻe tuku atu ʻae kau Kēnani; pea naʻa nau fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu mo honau ngaahi kolo: pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae potu ko ia ko Hoama. 
Pea naʻa nau fononga mei he moʻunga ko Hoa ʻi he hala ʻi he Tahi Kulokula, ke kāpui ʻae fonua ko ʻItomi: pea naʻe vaivai ʻaupito ʻae loto ʻoe kakai koeʻuhi ko e hala. 
Pea naʻe lāunga ʻae kakai ki he ʻOtua, pea mo Mōsese, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo mo ʻomi ai ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite ke mau mate ʻi he toafa ni? He ʻoku ʻikai ha mā, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha vai; pea ʻoku mau fehiʻa ki he mā pahapahangi ni.” 
Pea naʻe tuku mai ʻe Sihova ʻae fanga ngata fakavela ki he kakai, pea naʻa nau ʻuusi ʻae kakai; pea naʻe mate ai ʻae kakai tokolahi. 
¶ Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kakai kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, “Kuo mau angahala he kuo mau lāunga kia Sihova, pea mo koe; ke ke lotu kia Sihova, ke ne ʻave ʻae fanga ngata ni ʻiate kimautolu. Pea naʻe hūfia ʻe Mōsese ʻae kakai.” 
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, Ke ke ngaohi maʻau ha ngata fakavela, ʻo ʻai ia ki ha ʻakau: pea ʻe pehē, ko ia kuo ʻūsia, ʻoka sio ia ki ai, ʻe moʻui ai ia. 
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngata palasa ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he ʻakau, pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kapau kuo ʻūsia ha tangata ʻe ha ngata, pea sio ia ki he ngata palasa, naʻe moʻui ia. 
¶ Pea naʻe fononga atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo nofo ʻi ʻOpoti. 
Pea naʻa nau fononga mei ʻOpoti, ʻo nofo ʻi ʻIsi-ʻEpalemi, ʻi he toafa ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngataʻanga fonua ʻo Moape, ki he hopoʻanga ʻoe laʻā. 
Pea naʻa nau hiki mei ai ʻo nofo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Seleti. 
Pea naʻa nau hiki mei ai, ʻo nofo ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻo ʻAlanoni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he toafa ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he veʻe fonua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli: he ko ʻAlanoni ʻoku tuʻu ia ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo Moape, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Moape mo e kau ʻAmoli. 
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tau ʻa Sihova, “Mei Vaepa mo Sufa, pea mo e ngaahi vaitafe ʻo ʻAlanoni, 
Pea mo e manga ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe ʻaia ʻoku tafe ki lalo ki he nofoʻanga ʻo ʻAla pea ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo Moape.” 
Pea naʻa nau hiki mei ai ki Piea ko e vai keli ia naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Fakataha ʻae kakai, pea te u foaki ʻae vai kiate kinautolu.” 
Pea naʻe hiva ʻaki ʻae hiva ni ʻe ʻIsileli, “Tupu hake, ʻe vai keli ē; mou hiva ki ai: 
Naʻe keli ʻae vai ʻe he houʻeiki mo e kau matāpule ʻoe kakai, ʻaki ʻa honau ngaahi tokotoko, ʻi he enginaki ʻo ia naʻe fai fono.” Pea naʻa nau hiki mei he toafa ki Matana. 
Pea mei Matana ki Neʻelili: pea mei Neʻelili ki Pamoti: 
Pea mei Pamoti ki he vahaʻa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ʻo Moape, ki he tumutumu ʻo Pisika, ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki Sesimoni. 
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae kau talafekau kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli, ʻo pehē, 
“Tuku ke u ʻalu atu ʻi ho fonua: ʻe ʻikai te mau afe ki he ngoue, pe ki he ngoue vaine; ʻe ʻikai te mau inu ʻae vai ʻoe vai keli: ka te mau ʻalu ʻi he hala motuʻa ʻoe tuʻi, kaeʻoua ke mau tuku kimui ʻae ngataʻanga ʻo ho fonua.” 
Pea naʻe ʻikai loto ʻa Sihoni ke fononga atu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hono fonua: ka naʻe fakataha ʻe Sihoni ʻa hono kakai kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻalu ia ki ʻIsileli ʻi he toafa: pea naʻa ne haʻu ki Sehasi, ʻo tau ki ʻIsileli. 
Pea naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea naʻa nau maʻu hono fonua mei ʻAlanoni ki Sakopi, ʻo aʻu ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni: he naʻe mālohi ʻae ngataʻanga fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni. 
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi kolo ni kotoa pē: pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻi Hesiponi, pea mo hono potu kakai kotoa pē. 
He ko Hesiponi ko e kolo ia ʻo Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe tau ki he tuʻi ʻe taha ʻo Moape, ʻo ne maʻu mei hono nima ʻa hono fonua kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki ʻAlanoni. 
Pea ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku faʻa lea ʻi he lea fakatātā, “Haʻu ki Hesiponi, langaʻi hake mo teuteu ʻae kolo ʻo Sihoni. 
He kuo ʻalu atu ʻae afi ʻi Hesiponi, ʻae ulo afi mei he kolo ʻo Sihoni: kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻAla ʻi Moape, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo ʻAlanoni. 
‌ʻOku malaʻia ʻa ko e Moape! Kuo ke ʻauha, ʻE kakai ʻo Kimosi: kuo foaki ʻe ia ʻa hono ngaahi foha, mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine kuo hao, ke pōpula kia Sihoni, ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli. 
Naʻa mau fanaʻi ʻakinautolu; kuo ʻauha ʻa Hesiponi ʻo aʻu ki Tiponi, pea kuo mau fakalala ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki Nofa, ʻaia ʻoku aʻu ki Metipa.” 
¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻae nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he fonua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli. 
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ke matakiʻi ʻa Sesa, pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa hono ngaahi potu kakai, pea naʻa nau kapusi kituʻa ʻae kau ʻAmoli naʻe ʻi ai. 
¶ Pea naʻa nau foki ʻo ʻalu hake ʻi he hala ʻo Pesani: pea ko Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani naʻe ʻalu atu ia kiate kinautolu, ʻa ia, pea mo hono kakai, ki he tau ʻi ʻEtilei. 
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē kiate ia: he kuo u tuku ia ki ho nima, mo hono kakai kotoa pē, mo hono fonua; pea te ke fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fai kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hesiponi.” 
Pea ko ia, naʻa nau taaʻi ia, mo hono ngaahi foha, pea mo hono kakai kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ha taha moʻui kiate ia: pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa hono fonua.
