‌ʻI hono tolu ʻoe māhina, hili ʻae ʻalu atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ko e ʻaho ko ia naʻa nau hoko ki he toafa ko Sainai. 
He kuo nau hiki mei Lefitimi, pea hoko ki he toafa ʻo Sainai, pea nau ʻapitanga ʻi he toafa; pea naʻe ʻapitanga ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻoe moʻunga. 
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Mōsese ki he ʻOtua, pea folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia mei he moʻunga, ʻo pehē, “Te ke lea pehē ki he fale ʻo Sēkope, ʻo tala ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; 
Kuo mou mamata ki he meʻa naʻaku fai ki he kakai ʻIsipite, mo ʻeku fua ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kapakau ʻoe ʻikale, ʻo ʻomi ʻakimoutolu kiate au. 
Pea ko ʻeni, kapau te mou tuitala moʻoni ki hoku leʻo, ʻo tauhi ʻeku fuakava, te mou ʻiate au ko e koloa lelei lahi ʻi he kakai kotoa pē: he ʻoku ʻoʻoku ʻa māmani kotoa pē. 
Pea te mou ʻiate au ko e puleʻanga ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kakai māʻoniʻoni. Ko eni ʻae ngaahi lea ke ke lea ʻaki ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.” 
¶ Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Mōsese ʻo fekau ke haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻoe kakai, ʻo ne tuku ki honau ʻao ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate ia. 
Pea naʻe lea fakataha ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Te mau fai ʻaia kotoa pē kuo folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova.” Pea tala atu ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae kakai kia Sihova. 
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Vakai, te u ʻalu atu kiate koe ʻi he ʻao matolu, koeʻuhi ke ongoʻi ʻe he kakai ʻo kau ka lea kiate koe, pea nau tui kiate koe ʻo taʻengata.” Pea naʻe tala atu ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae kakai kia Sihova. 
¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu ki he kakai, ʻo fakamāʻoniʻoni ʻakinautolu he ʻaho ni mo e ʻapongipongi, pea ke nau fō honau ngaahi kofu. 
Pea teu ki hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho: koeʻuhi ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho ʻe hāʻele hifo ʻa Sihova ki he moʻunga ko Sainai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē. 
Pea ke ai hano ngataʻanga takatakai ki he kakai, mo ke pehē, Vakai kiate kimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa mou ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga, pe ʻalu ki hono tafaʻaki: ko ia ʻe ʻalu ki he moʻunga ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia: 
‌ʻE ʻikai ha nima ʻe ala ki ai ʻe taʻetolongaki moʻoni ia ʻaki ʻae maka pe fanaʻi ke ʻasi: pe ko ha manu ia pe ha tangata, ʻe ʻikai moʻui ia: ʻoka ongo mai ʻae meʻa lea ʻo fuoloa, te nau ʻalu atu ki he moʻunga.” 
¶ Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Mōsese mei he moʻunga ki he kakai, ʻo ne fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻae kakai; pea naʻa nau fō honau ngaahi kofu. 
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kakai, “Mou tali teu pe ki hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho: ʻoua naʻa ala ki homou uaifi.” 
¶ Pea pongipongi hake ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe ai ʻae ngaahi mana mo e ʻuhila, mo e ʻao matolu ki he moʻunga, mo e ongo mai ʻae meʻa lea naʻe mālohi fakamanavahē; ko ia naʻe tetetete ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he ʻapitanga. 
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Mōsese ʻae kakai kituʻa mei he ʻapitanga ke nau fakafetaulaki atu ki he ʻOtua; pea naʻa nau tutuʻu ʻi he potu ʻi lalo ʻi he moʻunga. 
Pea naʻe kohuʻia ʻae moʻunga ko Sainai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi naʻe hāʻele hifo ki ai ʻa Sihova ʻi he afi: pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa hono kohu ʻo hangē ko e kohu ʻo ha fuʻu afi, pea naʻe ngalulu lahi ʻae moʻunga kotoa. 
Pea ʻi he ongo mai ʻae leʻo ʻoe meʻa lea ʻo fuoloa, pea fakaʻaʻau ʻo leʻo lahi ʻaupito, pea lea ʻa Mōsese, pea talia ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae leʻo. 
Pea naʻe hāʻele hifo ʻa Sihova ki he moʻunga ko Sainai, ki he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga: pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ke ʻalu hake ia ki he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Mōsese. 
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ke ke ʻalu hifo, ʻo naʻinaʻi atu ki he kakai, telia naʻa nau ʻasi ki loto ʻo fakasio kia Sihova, pea mate ai honau tokolahi. 
Pea ko e kau taulaʻeiki foki, ʻaia ʻoku haʻu ʻo ofi kia Sihova, tuku ke nau fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakinautolu, telia naʻa ʻoho atu ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu.” 
Pea pehēange ʻe Mōsese kia Sihova, “ʻOku ʻikai faʻa haʻu ʻae kakai ki he moʻunga ko Sainai: he naʻa ke fekauʻi ʻakimautolu ʻo pehē, ʻAi hono fakangatangata, ki he moʻunga, mo fakatapui ia.” 
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Ke ke ʻalu hifo, pea ke toe ʻalu hake, ʻa koe, mo ʻElone: kaeʻoua naʻa ʻoho ki loto ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kakai ke ʻalu hake kia Sihova, telia naʻa ʻoho atu ia kiate kinautolu.” 
Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ai ʻa Mōsese ki he kakai, ʻo ne lea atu kiate kinautolu.
