Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese: ‘ʻAlu hake kiate au ki he moʻungá. Te u tohi ʻeku ngaahi laó ʻi ha ongo lauʻimaka pea ʻoatu kiate koe.’ Naʻe kaka ʻa Mōsese ʻi he moʻungá peá ne nofo ai ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ʻe 40. Lolotonga ʻene ʻi aí, naʻe tohi ʻe Sihova ʻa e Fekau ʻe Hongofulú ʻi he ongo lauʻimaká pea ʻoange ia kia Mōsese.

Hili mei ai ha taimi, naʻe pehē ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí ia kuo liʻaki kinautolu ʻe Mōsese. Naʻa nau pehē ange kia ʻĒlone: ‘ʻOku mau fiemaʻu ha taha ke ne taki kimautolu. Ngaohi ha ʻotua maʻamautolu!’ Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻĒlone: ‘ʻOmai hoʻomou koulá.’ Naʻá ne ʻai ke vaia ʻa e koulá pea ngaohiʻaki ha ʻīmisi ʻo ha kiʻi pulu. Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he kakaí: ‘Ko e kiʻi pulu ko ení ko homau ʻOtua ia naʻá ne taki kimautolu ki tuʻa mei ʻIsipité!’ Naʻe kamata ke nau lotu ki he kiʻi pulu koulá, pea fai ʻenau fakafiefia. Naʻe hala ʻa e meʻa ko iá? ʻIo, he naʻe palōmesi ʻa e kakaí te nau lotu pē kia Sihova. Ka ʻi he taimi ko ení naʻa nau maumauʻi ʻa e palōmesi ko iá.

 Naʻe vakai mai ʻa Sihova ki he meʻa naʻe hokó, peá ne tala ange kia Mōsese: ‘ʻAlu hifo ki he kakaí. ʻOku nau talangataʻa kiate au pea nau lotu ki ha ʻotua loi.’ Naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Mōsese mei he moʻungá, ʻokú ne toʻo ʻa e ongo lauʻimaká.

ʻI he ofi ʻa Mōsese ki he tēnití, naʻá ne fanongo atu ki he hiva ʻa e kakaí. Pea naʻá ne sio ʻoku nau hula mo punou ki he kiʻi pulú. Naʻe ʻita lahi ʻa Mōsese. Naʻá ne tolongi ʻa e ongo lauʻimaká ki he kelekelé, ʻo mapakipaki. Naʻá ne fakaʻauha he taimi pē ko iá ʻa e ʻīmisí. Pea naʻá ne ʻeke kia ʻĒlone: ‘Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakalotoʻi koe ʻe he kakaí ke ke fai ʻa e meʻa kovi ʻaupito ko ení?’ Naʻe pehē ange ʻe ʻĒlone: ‘ʻOua te ke ʻitá. ʻOkú ke ʻiloʻi pē ʻa e anga ʻo e kakaí ni. Naʻa nau fiemaʻu ha ʻotua, ko ia naʻá ku lī ʻenau koulá ki he afí pea maʻu mei ai ʻa e kiʻi pulu ko ení!’ Naʻe ʻikai totonu ke fai ia ʻe ʻĒlone. Naʻe foki hake ʻa Mōsese ki he moʻungá ʻo kole kia Sihova ke ne fakamolemoleʻi ʻa e kakaí.

Naʻe fakamolemoleʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e faʻahinga naʻa nau loto-lelei ke talangofua kiate iá. ʻOku lava ke ke sio ki he mahuʻinga ke muimui ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻi he taki ʻa Mōsesé?
