Pea ko eni, naʻe kautaha ʻa Kola, ko e foha ʻo ʻIsa, ko e foha ia ʻo Kohate, ko e foha ia ʻo Livai, pea mo Tatani, mo ʻEpilami, ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻIliapi, pea mo ʻOni, ko e foha ʻo Peleti, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Lupeni: 
Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hake ʻi he ʻao ʻo Mōsese, fakataha mo e niʻihi ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe fakataha, ʻae toko uangeau mo e toko nimangofulu naʻe poto ʻi he fakakaukau ʻi he kakai, ko e kau tangata ongoongo: 
Pea naʻa nau fakataha ʻakinautolu kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, pea nau pehē kiate kinaua, “ʻOku lahi fau ʻa hoʻomo fie pule ʻamoua, he kuo māʻoniʻoni taki taha kotoa pē ʻae kakai, pea ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Sihova: pea ko e hā te mo hiki hake ai ʻakimoua ke mo māʻolunga ʻi he kakai ʻa Sihova?” 
Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻa Mōsese, naʻe tō fakafoʻohifo ia ki hono mata: 
Pea naʻa ne pehē kia Kola mo hono kakai kotoa pē, “ʻE fakahā ʻe Sihova ʻapongipongi ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻoʻona, pea mo ia ʻoku māʻoniʻoni; pea te ne tuku ia ke ʻunuʻunu ʻo ofi kiate ia: ʻio, ko ia kuo ne fili te ne tuku ke ʻunuʻunu mai ki heʻene ʻafio. 
Mou fai eni; Toʻo homou ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, ʻa Kola, mo hono kakai kotoa pē; 
Pea tuku ki ai ʻae afi, ʻo ʻai ʻae ʻakau namu kakala ki ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻapongipongi: pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko e tangata ʻe fili ki ai ʻa Sihova ko e māʻoniʻoni ia: ʻoku mou angahiki ʻaupito, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Livai.” 
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia Kola, “ʻOku ou kole atu kiate kimoutolu ke mou fanongo mai, ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Livai: 
Ko e meʻa vaʻinga koā ia kiate kimoutolu ʻae fakamavae ʻe he ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ke ofi ki heʻene ʻafio ke mou fai ʻae ngāue, ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova, pea ke tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ke ngāue kiate kinautolu? 
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi koe ke ofi ki heʻene ʻafio, pea mo ho kāinga ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Livai fakataha mo koe: pea ʻoku mou kumi foki ʻae ngāue fakataulaʻeiki? 
He ko hono ʻuhinga eni ʻo hoʻomou fakataha ʻa koe mo ho kakai kia Sihova: pea ko hai ʻa ʻElone, ʻoku mou lāunga ai kiate ia?” 
¶ Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ke ui ʻa Tatani mo ʻEpilami, ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻIliapi: ka naʻa na pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te ma ʻalu ange: 
He ko e meʻa siʻi hoʻo ʻomi ʻakimautolu mei he fonua ʻoku pito ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi, ke tāmateʻi ʻakimautolu ʻi he toafa, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke nofo koe ko e ʻeiki kiate kimautolu? 
Ka kuo ʻikai te ke ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki ha fonua ʻoku pito ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi, pe tuku kiate kimautolu ha tofiʻa ʻi he ngoue mo e ngoue vaine: te ke kapeʻi koā ʻae mata ʻoe kau tangata ni? ʻE ʻikai te ma ʻalu ange.” 
Pea naʻe tuputāmaki lahi ʻa Mōsese, ʻo ne pehē kia Sihova, “ʻOua naʻa ke ʻafio ki heʻenau feilaulau: naʻe ʻikai te u faʻao ha ʻasi ʻe taha meiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te u fakamamahiʻi ha taha ʻiate kinautolu.” 
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia Kola, “Ko koe mo ho kakai ke mou ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻapongipongi, ʻa koe, mo kinautolu, pea mo ʻElone: 
pea ʻe taki taha ʻave ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, pea tuku ʻi ai ʻae ʻakau namu kakala, pea taki taha ʻomi ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene ipu ʻaiʻanga afi ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ko e ipu ʻaiʻanga afi ʻe uangeau ma nimangofulu; pea ko koe foki, mo ʻElone, te mo taki taha ʻene ipu ʻaiʻanga afi.” 
Pea naʻe taki taha ʻave ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, pea naʻe tuku ʻae afi ki ai, pea tuku ki ai ʻae ʻakau namu kakala, pea naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai fakataha mo Mōsese mo ʻElone. 
Pea naʻe fakataha ʻe Kola ʻae kakai kotoa pē kiate kinaua ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea naʻe hā mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ki he kakai kotoa pē. 
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē, 
“Fakamavahe ʻakimoua mei he kakai ni, koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha leva ʻakinautolu.” 
Pea naʻa na tō ki hona mata, ʻo na pehē, “ʻE ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe laumālie ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, ʻe angahala ha tokotaha, pea te ke houhau ki he kakai kotoa pē?” 
¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, 
“Ke ke lea ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, Mou ʻalu atu ke ʻatā mei he fale fehikitaki ʻo Kola, mo Tatani, mo ʻEpilami.” 
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Mōsese ʻo ʻalu kia Tatani mo ʻEpilami; pea naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli. 
Pea naʻe lea ia ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, Mou hiki atu mei he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻoe kau tangata angahala ni, pea ʻoua naʻa mou ala ki haʻanau meʻa, telia naʻa mou ʻauha ʻi heʻenau angahala.” 
Ko ia naʻa nau ʻalu ai mei he potu kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Kola, mo Tatani, mo ʻEpilami: pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Tatani mo ʻEpilami, pea na tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻo hona fale fehikitaki, pea mo hona uaifi mo hona ngaahi foha, pea mo ʻena fānau iiki. 
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Te mou ʻilo eni kuo fekau au ʻe Sihova ke u fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē; he ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku loto ʻoʻoku. 
Kapau ʻe mate ʻae kau tangata ni ʻo hangē ko e mate ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea kapau ʻe hoko kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e hoko ki he kakai kotoa pē; pea tā kuo ʻikai fekau au ʻe Sihova. 
Pea kapau ʻe fai ʻe Sihova ha meʻa foʻou pea ʻe mafaʻa ʻae ngutu ʻoe kelekele, ʻo folo hifo ʻakinautolu, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu, pea nau ʻalu hifo fakafokifā pe ki he luo; te mou toki ʻilo ai kuo fakahouhauʻi ʻa Sihova ʻe he kau tangata ni.” 
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻa ʻene fakahā ʻae ngaahi lea ni, naʻe mafahi ʻae kelekele ʻi lalo ʻiate kinautolu: 
Pea naʻe mafaʻa ʻae ngutu ʻoe kelekele, ʻo folo hifo ʻakinautolu, mo honau ngaahi fale pea mo e kau tangata kotoa pē naʻe ʻia Kola, mo ʻenau koloa kotoa pē. 
Ko kinautolu, mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate kinautolu, naʻe ʻalu moʻui hifo ki he luo, pea naʻe mapuni ʻae kelekele kiate kinautolu: pea naʻa nau ʻauha mei he kakai. 
Pea naʻe hola ʻi heʻenau tangi ʻae kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻiate kinautolu: he naʻa nau pehē, “Naʻa toe folo hifo ʻe he kelekele ʻakimautolu.” 
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae afi meia Sihova, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko uangeau ma toko nimangofulu naʻe feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ʻakau namu kakala. 
¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, 
“Ke ke lea kia ʻEliesa ko e foha ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki, ke ne hiko hake ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi mei he afi, he kuo tapu ia; pea ke liʻaki ʻae afi ki hena. 
Ko e ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi ʻakinautolu ni kuo angahala ki honau laumālie, tuku kenau ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi teunga lafalafa laulahi ke ʻuʻufi ʻaki ʻae feilaulauʻanga: he kuo nau feilaulau ʻaki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ko ia kuo tapu ai ia; pea ʻe hoko ia ko e fakaʻilonga ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.” 
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi palasa, ʻaia naʻe feilaulau ʻaki ʻekinautolu kuo vela; pea naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi fono lafalafa laulahi ke ʻuʻufi ʻaki ʻae feilaulauʻanga: 
Ke tuku ia ko e fakamanatu ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ofi mai ha muli, ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe hako ʻo ʻElone ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ʻakau namu kakala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; telia naʻa tatau ia mo Kola, pea mo hono kakai: ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese. 
¶ Pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoʻi naʻe lāunga ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “Kuo mo tāmateʻi ʻae kakai ʻo Sihova.” 
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakataha ʻae kakai kia Mōsese pea mo ʻElone, naʻa nau sio ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai: pea fokifā pe kuo ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae ʻao, pea naʻe hā mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova. 
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone ki he matafale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai. 
¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, 
“Mo ʻalu hake ʻi he kakai ni, koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha leva ʻakinautolu.” Pea naʻa na tō foʻohifo ki hona mata. 
¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone, “Toʻo ha ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, ʻo tuku ki ai ʻae afi mei he funga feilaulauʻanga, ʻo ʻai ki ai ʻae ʻakau namu kakala, pea ke ʻalu vave ki he kakai, ʻo fai ʻae fakalelei maʻanautolu: he kuo ʻalu atu ʻae houhau meia Sihova; pea kuo kamata ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha.” 
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe ʻElone ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese, ʻo ne lele ki he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai; pea vakai kuo kamata ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha ʻi he kakai: pea naʻa ne ʻai ʻae ʻakau namu kakala ki ai, ʻo ne fai ʻae fakalelei maʻanautolu. 
Pea naʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe mate mo e moʻui; pea naʻe taʻofi ai ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha. 
Pea ko kinautolu naʻe mate ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha ko e tokotaha mano mo e toko fā afe ma toko fitungeau, mo kinautolu naʻe mate ʻi he meʻa ʻa Kola. 
Pea naʻe foki ʻa ʻElone kia Mōsese ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai: pea naʻe taʻofi ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha.
