1 ʻAe meʻa hā mai ko e ngaahi vai tapu. 6 Hono ʻaonga ʻo ia. 13 Hono ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻae fonua. 22 Hono vahevahe ki he ngaahi tofiʻa.
1 Hili ia naʻa ne toe ʻomi au ki he matapā ʻoe fale; pea vakai, naʻe tafe mai ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi he lalo matapā, ki he potu hahake: he naʻe hanga atu ʻae mata fale ki hahake, pea naʻe tafe mai ʻae vai mei lalo, mei he potu toʻomataʻu ʻoe fale ʻi he potu fakatonga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga. 2 Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki tokelau, mo ne taki fakatakamilo hake au ki he hūʻanga kituʻa, ʻi he matapā ʻoku tuʻu taupotu atu ʻi he hala fakahahake; pea vakai, naʻe tafe ai ʻae vai ki hono potu toʻomataʻu. 3 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu ʻae tangata, naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae afo ke fua ʻaki ki he potu fakahahake, naʻa ne fua ko e kiupite ʻe taha afe, pea naʻa ne tataki au ʻi he loto vai; pea naʻe feʻunga hake ʻae vai mo e tungaʻivaʻe. 4 Pea toe fua ʻe ia ha taha afe, mo ne tataki au ʻi he loto vai; pea naʻe aʻu hake ʻae vai ki he tui. Pea ne toe fua mo e taha afe, ʻo ne tataki au ʻi loto; pea aʻu hake ʻae vai ki he kongaloto. 5 Hili ia naʻe toe fua mo e taha afe; ka kuo hoko ai ia ko e vaitafe, naʻe ʻikai te u faʻa ʻā ai: he naʻe fakaʻaʻau hake ʻae vai, ko e vai ʻe fai ai ha kakau, ko e vaitafe ʻoku ʻikai hano aʻaʻanga.
6 ¶ Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, kuo ke mamata ki he meʻa ni?” Ko ia ne ne ʻomi au, mo ne fakafoki mai au, ki he tafaʻaki ʻoe vaitafe. 7 Pea ʻi heʻeku foki atu, vakai, naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae ʻakau ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he tafaʻaki vaitafe ʻi hono kauvai fakatouʻosi. 8 Pea naʻa ne toki pehē kiate au, “ʻOku tafe atu ʻae vai ni ki he potu fonua ki hahake, pea ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he toafa, mo ʻalu atu ai pe ki tahi: pea ka hoko atu ia ki he tahi ʻe fakamoʻui ai hono ngaahi vai. 9 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku moʻui, mo ngaue ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻe aʻu atu ki ai ʻae vaitafe, ʻe moʻui: pea ʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻaupito ʻae ika, koeʻuhi ko e tafe atu ki ai ʻae ngaahi vai ni: he te nau lelei ai: pea ʻe moʻui ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu atu ki ai ʻae vaitafe. 10 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻe tuʻu ai ʻae kau toutai ika mei ʻEniketi, ʻo aʻu ki ʻEnekalemi; ko e potu ia ke ʻaʻau kupenga ai; ʻe ʻi he faʻahinga kehekehe ʻa hono ika, ʻo hangē ko e ika ʻoe moana lahi hono taʻefaʻalaua. 11 Kae ʻilonga ʻae potu pelepela ʻi ai, mo e ngaahi potu ʻoku anovai ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui ia: ʻe tuku ia ke kona ai pe. 12 Pea ʻe tupu hake ʻae ʻakau ʻoku meʻakai ʻaki ʻi he veʻe vaitafe, ʻi he tafaʻaki vai ʻi hono kauvai fakatouʻosi, pea ʻe ʻikai mae ʻa hono lau, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻosi ʻa hono fua: ʻe tupu pe hono fua foʻou, ʻo fakatatau mo hono māhina, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻalu atu mei he fale tapu ʻa hono fakaviviku: pea ʻe meʻakai ʻaki ʻa hono fua, pea ko hono lau ko e meʻa faitoʻo.”
13 ¶ ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Ko eni ʻa hono fakangata, ʻaia te mou nofo ai ki he fonua, ʻo fakatatau ki homou faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻi ʻIsileli: ʻE maʻu ʻe Siosefa ha vahe ʻe ua. 14 Pea te mou maʻu ia, ʻo maʻu tatau pe: ʻaia foki naʻaku hiki hake ai hoku nima, ke foaki ia ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai: pea ʻe tō ʻae fonua ni kiate kimoutolu, ko homou tofiʻa. 15 Pea ko hono ngataʻanga eni ʻoe fonua. ʻI hono potu fakatokelau, ʻe ngata mei he Tahi Lahi, mo e hala ki Hetiloni, ʻi he ʻaluʻanga ʻoe kakai ki Sitati. 16 Ko Hamati, mo Pelota, mo Sipalemi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Tamasikusi, mo e ngataʻanga ʻo Hamati: mo Hasaha-Tikoni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo Haulani. 17 Pea ko hono ngataʻanga mei tahi, ko Hasaenani, ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo Tamasikusi, mo hono potu tokelau, ʻo fai atu ki he tokelau, pea mo e ngataʻanga ʻo Hamati. Pea ko hono potu tokelau ia. 18 Pea ʻe fuofua ʻa hono potu hahake mei Haulani, pea mo Tamasikusi, pea mo Kiliati, pea mei he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi Sioatani, mei hono ngataʻanga ʻo aʻu ki he tahi ki hahake.
