ʻUluaki Mala ʻe Tolú

Naʻe fakamālohiʻi ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke nau ngāue lahi ko ha kau pōpula. Naʻe fekauʻi atu ʻe Sihova ʻa Mōsese mo ʻĒlone kia Felo mo e fekau ko ení: ‘Tuku ange hoku kakaí ke nau ō koeʻuhi ke nau lotu mai kiate au ʻi he toafá.’ Naʻe tali ange ʻe Felo ʻi he pōlepole: ‘ʻOku ʻikai haʻaku tokanga ki he meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe Sihová, pea heʻikai te u tuku ange ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke nau ō.’ Naʻe fakamālohiʻi leva ʻe Felo ke nau ngāue ʻo toe lahi ange. ʻE akoʻi ʻe Sihova kia Felo ha lēsoni. ʻOkú ke ʻiloʻi pe naʻe anga-fēfē? Naʻá ne ʻomi ʻa e Mala ʻe Hongofulu ki ʻIsipite. Naʻe tala ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese: ‘ʻOku ʻikai ke fanongo mai ʻa Felo kiate au. ʻI he pongipongí, te ne ʻi he Vaitafe Nailá. ʻAlu ʻo tala kiate ia koeʻuhi ko e ʻikai te ne tuku ange mai ke ō ʻa hoku kakaí, ʻe liliu ʻa e vai kotoa ʻi he Vaitafe Nailá ko e toto.’ Naʻe talangofua ʻa Mōsese ʻo ne ʻalu kia Felo. Naʻe sio ʻa Felo ki hono taaʻi ʻe ʻĒlone ʻa e vaitafé ʻaki hono tokotokó, pea naʻe liliu ʻa e vaitafé ko e toto. Naʻe kamata ke namukū ʻa e vaitafé, naʻe mate ʻa e fanga iká, pea naʻe ʻikai ha vai maʻa mei he vaitafé ke inu. Naʻe kei fakafisi pē ʻa Felo ke tuku ange ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke nau ō.

ʻI he ʻaho ʻe fitu ki mui ai, naʻe fekauʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Mōsese ke ne foki kia Felo mo e fekau ko ení: ‘Kapau heʻikai te ke fekau ʻa hoku kakaí ke nau ō, ʻe fonu ʻa ʻIsipite ʻi ha fanga poto.’ Naʻe hiki hake ʻe ʻĒlone ʻa hono tokotokó, pea naʻe kamata ke ʻufiʻufi ʻe he fanga potó ʻa e fonuá. Naʻe sio ʻa e kakaí ki he fanga potó ʻi honau falé, ʻi honau mohengá, pea ʻi heʻenau ngaahi poulú. Naʻe ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē ʻa e fanga potó! Naʻe ʻai ʻe Felo ʻa Mōsese ke ne kole kia Sihova ke taʻofi ʻa e mala ko ení. Naʻe palōmesi ʻa Felo te ne tuku ange ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke nau ō. Ko ia naʻe taʻofi ʻe Sihova ʻa e malá, pea naʻe tānaki ʻe he kau ʻIsipité ʻa e fanga poto naʻe maté, ʻi ha ngaahi fokotuʻunga. Naʻe kamata ke namukū ʻa e fonuá. Ka naʻe ʻikai pē ke tuku ange ʻe Felo ia ʻa e kakaí ke nau ō.

Naʻe tala leva ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese: ‘Kuo pau ke taaʻi ʻe ʻĒlone ʻa e kelekelé ʻaki hono tokotokó, pea ʻe liliu ʻa e efú ko e fanga namu, pe fanga kiʻi lango naʻe uʻu.’ ʻI he taimi pē ko iá naʻe ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē ʻa e fanga namú. Naʻe tala ange ʻe he niʻihi ʻo e kakai ʻa Feló kiate ia: ‘Ko e haʻu ʻa e mala ko ení mei he ʻOtuá.’ Ka naʻe ʻikai pē ke tuku ange ʻe Felo ia ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke nau ō.
