Te Whānautanga o Mohi
1Nā, ka haere tētahi tangata o te whare o Rīwai, ka tango i tētahi tamāhine a Rīwai hei wahine. 2Ā, ka hapū te wahine, ka whānau he tāne; ā, ka kitea he tamaiti pai, e toru ngā marama i hunā ai ia e ia. 3Ā, tē āhei ia te huna tonu i a ia, ka tango ia i tētahi āka kākaho mōna, pani rawa ki te uku, ki te ware, ā, whaowhina ana te tamaiti ki roto; whakatakotoria iho ki roto ki ngā wīwī i te pareparenga o te awa. 4Ā, tū ana i tawhiti tōna tuahine, kia kite e ahatia rānei ia.
5Nā, ko te haerenga iho o te tamāhine a Parao ki te awa, ki te horoi; ko āna kōtiro hoki e haere ana i te taha o te awa. Ā, ka kite ia i te āka i roto i ngā wīwī, ka ngare i tāna kōtiro ki te tiki. 6Ā, nō tāna hurahanga ake, ka kite i te tamaiti; nā, ka tangi te tamaiti. Ā, ka aroha ia ki a ia, ka mea, “Nō ngā tamariki a ngā Hiperu tēnei.”
7Kātahi ka mea tōna tuahine ki te tamāhine a Parao, “Kia haere ahau ki te karanga i tētahi wahine whakangote o ngā Hiperu ki a koe hei whakangote māu i te tamaiti?”
8Ā, ka kī te tamāhine a Parao ki a ia, “Haere.” Ā, haere ana te kōtiro, karanga ana i te whaea o te tamaiti. 9Ā, ka mea te tamāhine a Parao ki a ia, “Tangohia te tamaiti nei, whakangotea māku, ā, māku e hoatu he utu ki a koe.” Nā, tango ana te wahine i te tamaiti, ā, whakangotea ana e ia. 10Ā, ka nui te tamaiti, ka kawea e ia ki te tamāhine a Parao, ā, ka waiho ia hei tama māna. Ā, huaina iho e ia tōna ingoa ko Mohi; i mea hoki, “Nō te mea i tōia ake ia e ahau i roto i te wai.”
I Rere a Mohi ki Miriana
11Ā, i aua rā, ka kaumātuatia a Mohi, nā, ka haere ki ōna tuākana, ka titiro hoki ki ā rātou kawenga; ā, ka kite ia i tētahi Īhipiana e patu ana i tētahi Hiperu, nō ōna tuākana. 12Nā, ka tāhurihuri ia, ā, ka kite kāhore he tangata, patua iho te Īhipiana, ā, hunā iho ki te onepū. 13Ā, ka haere ia i te rua o ngā rā, nā, tokorua ngā tāngata o ngā Hiperu e whawhai ana ki a rāua; ā, ka mea atu ia ki te tangata nāna te kino, “He aha koe i patu ai i tōu hoa?”
14Nā, ka mea tērā, “Nā wai koe i kī hei rangatira, hei kaiwhakawā mō mātou? E mea ana koe ki te patu i ahau me koe i patu rā i te Īhipiana?” Ā, ka wehi a Mohi, ka mea, “Koia hoki, kua rangona tēnei mea.” 15Ā, ka rongo a Parao i taua mea, nā, ka whai kia patua a Mohi.
Otiia i rere a Mohi i te aroaro o Parao, ā, noho ana i te whenua o Miriana; nā, kua noho ia ki te puna. 16Nā, tokowhitu ngā tamāhine a te tohunga o Miriana; ā, ka haere rātou, ka utuutu wai, ka whakakī i ngā waka, hei whakainu i ngā hipi a tō rātou pāpā. 17Ā, ko te haerenga o ngā hēpara, kei te atiati i a rātou; ā, ka whakatika a Mohi ka araarai i a rātou, ka whakainu i ā rātou hipi. 18Ā, ka tae rātou ki a Reuere, ki tō rātou pāpā, ka mea ia, “Nā te aha koutou i hohoro mai ai ināianei?”
19Ā, ka mea rātou, “Nā tētahi Īhipiana i ora ai mātou i te ringa o ngā hēpara, nāna anō i utuutu he wai mā mātou, i whakainu hoki ngā hipi.”
20Nā, ka mea ia ki āna tamāhine, “Ā, kei hea ia? He aha taua tangata i whakarērea ai e koutou? Karangatia ki te kai taro.”
21Ā, i pai a Mohi ki te noho ki taua tangata; ā, ka hōmai e ia a Hipora, tāna tamāhine, ki a Mohi. 22Ā, ka whānau ia, he tāne, ā, huaina iho e ia tōna ingoa ko Kerehoma; i mea hoki ia, “He manene ahau i te whenua kē.”
23Nā, i muri i ngā rā e maha ka mate te kīngi o Īhipa; ā, ka hotu te manawa o ngā tama a Īharaira i te whakamahinga. Ā, auē ana rātou; ā, ka puta ake tā rātou auē ki te Atua, nō rātou hoki e whakamahia ana. 24Ā, ka rongo te Atua ki tā rātou tangi, ka mahara te Atua ki tāna kawenata ki a Āperahama, ki a Hākopa, ki a Īhaka. 25Nā, ka titiro te Atua ki ngā tama a Īharaira, ā, ka mōhio te Atua ki a rātou.
