Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē, 
“Ko e māhina ni ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ko e kamataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi māhina: ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e ʻuluaki māhina ʻi he taʻu.” 
¶ Mo lea ki he kakai fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “ʻI hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ni, te nau toʻo kiate kinautolu taki taha ʻe he tangata ha lami, ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻoe ngaahi tamai, ko e lami ki he fale: 
Pea kapau ʻoku tokosiʻi ʻae kau nofoʻanga ki ha lami, ke toʻo ia ʻe ia mo hono kaungāʻapi ʻoku na fale vāofi ʻo fakatatau ki hono lau ʻoe kakai; ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻe kau ia ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene kai ʻi homou lau ki he lami. 
‌ʻE haohaoa ʻa hoʻomou lami taʻehanomele, ko e manu tangata ʻi hono ʻuluaki taʻu: te mou toʻo ia mei he fanga sipi, pe mei he fanga kosi. 
Pea te mou talitalifaki ʻaki ia ʻo aʻu ki hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ia: pea ʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe he fakataha kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he efiafi poʻuli. 
Pea te nau ʻave ʻa hono toto ʻo vali ʻaki ia ʻae pou ʻe ua, mo e ʻakau fakalava ʻi he ʻulu matapā ʻoe ngaahi fale ʻoku nau kai ai ia. 
Pea te nau kai hono kakano ʻi he pō ko ia, kuo tunu ʻaki ʻae afi, mo e mā taʻefakalēvani; te nau kai ia mo e ngaahi louʻakau kona. 
‌ʻOua naʻa kai ʻota ia, pe haka ʻi he vai, ka ko e tunu pe ʻaki ʻae afi: ko hono ʻulu, mo e kau vaʻe, mo hono toʻotoʻonga. 
Pea ʻoua naʻa fakatoe hano potu ki he ʻapongipongi; pea ko ia ʻoku toe ki he ʻapongipongi te mou tutu ʻaki ʻae afi. 
¶ Pea te mou kai pehē ia; kuo nonoʻo homou vala, kuo ʻai homou topuvaʻe ʻi homou vaʻe, mo homou tokotoko ʻi homou nima; pea te mou kai fakatoʻotoʻo ia; ko e Lakaatu ia ʻa Sihova. 
“He te u ʻalu ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsipite he poōni, pea te u taaʻi ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻae tangata mo e manu; pea ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻo ʻIsipite te u fai ʻeku fakaʻauha ki ai: Ko au ko Sihova. 
Pea ko e toto, ʻe hoko ko e fakaʻilonga ia kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoku mou ʻi ai: ʻo kau ka mamata ki he toto, teu laka atu ʻiate kimoutolu, pea ʻe ʻikai ha fakaʻauha kiate kimoutolu ke mou mate ai ʻo kau ka taaʻi ʻae fonua ko ʻIsipite. 
Pea ko e ʻaho ni ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ke fakamanatu: pea te mou tauhi ia ʻo fai ʻae kātoanga kia Sihova ʻi homou ngaahi toʻutangata tuku fakaholo: te mou tauhi ia ko e kātoanga ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni taʻengata.” 
“Ko e ʻaho ʻe fitu te mou kai mā taʻefakalēvani; ʻio, ʻi hono ʻuluaki ʻaho te mou tukuange ʻae lēvani mei homou ngaahi fale: he ko ia ʻoku kai ha mā kuo fakalēvani mei he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻo aʻu ki hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, ʻe motuhi ia mei ʻIsileli. 
Pea ʻe fai ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻae fakataha māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻe fai ʻekimoutolu ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻae fakataha māʻoniʻoni: ʻe ʻikai ha ngāue ʻe taha ʻe fai ʻi ai, ka koeʻuhi ko e kai ʻe he tangata kotoa pē, ko ia pe ʻe ngofua ke fai. 
Pea te mou tokanga ki he kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani; koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻaho totonu ko ʻeni, kuo u ʻomi ai homou ngaahi kautau mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: ko ia te mou fakaʻilongaʻi ʻae ʻaho ni ʻi homou toʻutangata kotoa pē ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni taʻengata. 
¶ ʻI he ʻuluaki māhina, ʻi hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, ʻi he efiafi, te mou kai ʻae mā taʻefakalēvani, ʻo aʻu ki hono uofulu ma taha ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ʻi he efiafi. 
‌ʻI he ʻaho ʻe fitu ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ha lēvani ʻi homou ngaahi fale; he ko ia ʻoku kai ʻaia kuo fakalēvani, ʻe motuhi ia mei he fakataha ʻo ʻIsileli, pe ko ha muli ia, pe ko ha tupu ʻi he fonua. 
‌ʻE ʻikai te mou kai ha meʻa kuo ʻi ai ʻae lēvani; ʻi homou ngaahi nofoʻanga kotoa pē te mou kai mā taʻefakalēvani. 
¶ Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻe Mōsese ke haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Vaheʻi ʻo toʻo kiate kimoutolu ʻae lami ʻo fakatatau ki homou ngaahi kau nofoʻanga ʻo tāmateʻi ʻae Lakaatu. 
Pea te mou toʻo ʻae ʻū ʻisope ʻo unu ia ki he toto ʻoku ʻi he ipu, ʻo vali ʻae potu fakalava mo e pou ʻe ua ʻoe matapā ʻaki ʻae toto ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ipu; pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ha tokotaha ʻi he matapā ʻo hono fale kituaʻā kaeʻoua ke pongipongi hake. 
Koeʻuhi ʻe hāʻele atu ʻa Sihova ke taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite: pea ka ʻafio ia ki he toto ʻi he potu fakalava mo e pou ʻe ua, ʻe Lakaatu ʻa Sihova ʻi he matapā, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻae fakaʻauha ke hū ki homou fale ke taaʻi ʻakimoutolu. 
Pea te mou tokanga maʻu ki he meʻa ni, ko e fekau kiate koe mo ho ngaahi foha ʻo taʻengata. 
Pea ʻe pehē, ʻoka mou ka hoko atu ki he fonua ʻaia ʻe foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻene talaʻofa, te mou fai ʻae ngāue ni. 
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka fehuʻi hoʻomou fānau kiate kimoutolu, ‘Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngāue ni?’ 
Te mou pehē: ‘Ko e feilaulau ia ʻoe Lakaatu ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne laka atu ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻi heʻene taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite, ʻo ne fakamoʻui homau fale. Pea naʻe fakapunou hifo honau ʻulu ʻe he kakai ʻo hū. 
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, naʻe pehē ʻenau fai. 
¶ Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene tuʻuapō, naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he ʻuluaki fānau ʻa Felo naʻe nofo ʻi he nofoʻanga fakatuʻi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻuluaki fānau ʻae pōpula ʻi he fale fakapōpula; pea mo e ʻuluaki tupu kotoa pē ʻoe fanga manu. 
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Felo ʻi he pō, ʻaia mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, mo e kakai ʻIsipite kotoa pē; pea naʻe ai ʻae tangi lahi ʻi ʻIsipite: he naʻe ʻikai hala ha fale ʻi he taʻeʻiai-ha-taha kuo mate. 
¶ Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ʻi he poʻuli ke haʻu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo ne pehē, Tuʻu hake pea mou ʻalu atu mei hoku kakai, ʻakimoua pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea mou ʻalu ʻo tauhi ʻa Sihova, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou lea. 
‌ʻAve mo hoʻomou ngaahi fanga sipi, mo hoʻomou fanga manu, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou tala, pea mou ʻalu; pea mou tāpuaki foki au. 
Pea naʻe fai mālohi ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ki he kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau tukuange fakatoʻotoʻo ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu mei he fonua; he naʻa nau pehē, Kuo tau mate kotoa pē. 
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻenau mā ʻe he kakai ʻi he teʻeki ai ʻae lēvani; mo e nau ngaahi natuʻanga mā, kuo haʻi fakataha mo e nau ngaahi kofu ki honau uma. 
Pea naʻe fai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau ki he lea ʻa Mōsese; naʻa nau kole mei he kakai ʻIsipite ʻae ngaahi teunga siliva, mo e teunga koula, mo e ngaahi kofu; 
Pea naʻe fakaʻofeina ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite, ko ia naʻa nau tuku ai kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa. Pea naʻa nau fakamasivaʻi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite. 
¶ Pea fononga ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei Lamisisi ki Sukote, ko e kau tangata hāʻele, ko e toko ono kilu nai, kaeʻumaʻā ʻae fānau. 
Pea naʻe ʻalu mo kinautolu ʻae ngaahi kakai kehe tokolahi: mo e ngaahi fanga sipi mo e fanga manu, ʻae fuʻu fanga manu lahi. 
Pea naʻa nau taʻo ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā taʻehalēvani, ʻi he mā naʻa nau ʻomi mei ʻIsipite, he naʻe ʻikai ai ʻae lēvani; koeʻuhi naʻe kapusi ʻakinautolu mei ʻIsipite, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa tatali, pea naʻe teʻeki te nau teuteu haʻanau meʻakai. 
¶ Pea ko e nofo ʻāunofo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi ʻIsipite, ko e taʻu ʻe fāngeau ma tolungofolu. 
Pea hili ʻae taʻu ʻe fāngeau ma tolungofulu, pea hoko ʻo pehē, ʻio, naʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia, ʻae ʻalu ai ʻae ngaahi kautau ʻa Sihova mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite. 
Ko e pō ko ia ke tokanga lahi ki ai maʻa Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: ko e pō eni ia ʻo Sihova ke fakamanatu ki ai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi honau toʻutangata kotoa pē. 
¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, “Ko eni ʻae tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe Lakaatu: ʻE ʻikai kai ia ʻe ha muli: 
Ka ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae tangata kotoa pē kuo fakatauʻaki ʻae paʻanga, hili hao kamu ia, ʻe toki kai ia ʻe ia. 
‌ʻE ʻikai kai ia ʻe ha muli, pe ha tamaioʻeiki ngāue totongi. 
‌ʻE kai ia ʻi he fale pe taha: ʻoua naʻa ke ʻave kituaʻā mei he fale ha konga siʻi ʻoe kakano; pea ʻoua naʻa mou fesiʻi hano hui. 
‌ʻE fai ia ʻe he fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli. 
Pea ka ʻāunofo ha muli kiate koe, pea loto ia ke fai ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova, tuku ke kamu ʻene kakai tangata kotoa pē, pea ʻe toki ngofua ke haʻu ia ʻo fai: pea ʻe tatau ia mo ha tokotaha naʻe tupu ʻi he fonua: ʻe ʻikai kai ia ʻe ha tokotaha ʻoku taʻekamu. 
‌ʻE ai ʻae fono pe taha kiate ia ʻoku tupu ʻi he fonua, pea ki he muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu.” 
Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, naʻe pehē ʻenau fai. 
Pea naʻe hoko ʻi he pō pe ko ia, ʻae ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻae fānau ʻe ʻIsileli kituaʻā mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi honau ngaahi kongakau.
