Naʻa Nau Angatuʻu kia Sihova

ʻI ha taimi ki mui, lolotonga ʻa e nofo ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻi he toafá naʻe angatuʻu ai kia Mōsese ʻa Kola, Tētani, ʻApilami, mo e faʻahinga kehe ʻe toko 250. Naʻa nau pehē kiate ia: ‘Kuo mau fiu ʻiate koe! Ko e hā ke ke hoko ai ko homau taki pea hoko ʻa ʻĒlone ko e taulaʻeiki lahí? ʻOku ʻiate kitautolu kotoa ʻa Sihova, ʻo ʻikai ko koe pē mo ʻĒlone.’ Naʻe ʻikai ke fiefia ʻa Sihova. Naʻá ne vakai ki he meʻa ko iá ko ha angatuʻu kiate ia!

Naʻe tala ʻe Mōsese kia Kola mo hono kau poupoú: ‘Mou omi ki he tāpanekalé ʻapongipongi, pea toʻo mai hoʻomou ʻaiʻanga afí mo e ʻinisēnisí. ʻE fakahaaʻi mai ʻe Sihova pe ko hai kuó ne filí.’

ʻI he ʻaho hono hokó, naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻa Kola mo e kau tangata ʻe toko 250 ke fakafetaulaki kia Mōsese ʻi he tāpanekalé. Naʻa nau tutu ai ʻa e ʻinisēnisí ʻo hangē ko kinautolu ʻa e kau taulaʻeikí. Naʻe tala ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻĒlone: ‘Mou mavahe meia Kola mo ʻene kau tangatá.’

Neongo naʻe ʻalu ʻa Kola kia Mōsese ki he tāpanekalé, naʻe ʻikai ke ʻalu ʻa Tētani, mo ʻApilami pea mo hona fāmilí. Naʻe tala ʻe Sihova ki he kau ʻIsilelí ke nau mavahe mei he tēniti ʻo Kola, Tētani pea mo ʻApilamí. Naʻe mavahe he taimi pē ko iá ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí. Naʻe tuʻu ʻa Tētani, mo ʻApilami mo hona fāmilí ʻi tuʻa ʻi honau tēnití. Fakafokifā pē naʻe mavaeua ʻa e kelekelé ʻo ne folo kinautolu! ʻI he tāpanekalé, naʻe ʻalu hifo ai ha afi ʻo ne tutu ʻa Kola mo ʻene kau tangata ʻe toko 250.

Naʻe tala leva ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese: ‘Toʻo ha tokotoko mei he taki ʻo e matakali taki taha, pea tohi ai ʻa hono hingoá. Kae tohi ʻa e hingoa ʻo ʻĒloné ʻi he tokotoko ʻo e matakali Līvaí. Faʻo ia ʻi loto ʻi he tāpanekalé, pea ko e tokotoko ʻo e tangata kuó u filí ʻe tupu ai ʻa e matalaʻiʻakau.’

ʻI he ʻaho hono hokó, naʻe toʻo mai ai ki tuʻa ʻe Mōsese ʻa e tokotokó kotoa ʻo fakahaaʻi ki he kau takí. Naʻe tupu ʻa e matalaʻiʻakau ʻi he tokotoko ʻo ʻĒloné, pea naʻe ʻi ai ha fuaʻi ʻalimoni ʻoku motuʻa. Naʻe fakapapauʻi heni ʻe Sihova kuó ne fili ʻa ʻĒlone ke ne hoko ko e taulaʻeiki lahí.
