Kĩambĩrĩria 18
1 Mũthenya ũmwe Jehova nĩ oimĩrĩire Iburahĩmu rĩrĩa aikarĩte mũromo-inĩ wa hema yake hakuhĩ na mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩnene ya mĩgandi ya Mamure, ihinda rĩa mĩaraho.
Pea naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kiate ia ʻi he fonua ʻo Mamili, ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻi he pupuha ʻoe ʻaho.
2 Na rĩrĩ, Iburahĩmu aatiira maitho-rĩ, akĩona andũ atatũ marũgamĩte o hakuhĩ nake. Rĩrĩa aamoonire, akĩhiũha akiuma mũromo-inĩ wa hema yake, agĩthiĩ kũmatũnga, na agĩturumithia ũthiũ wake thĩ.
Pea hanga hake ʻe ia hono mata ʻo sio, pea vakai, ʻoku tutuʻu mai ʻae tangata ʻe toko tolu kiate ia: pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki ai, naʻa ne lele mei he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinautolu, pea naʻe punou hifo ia ki he kelekele,
3 Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, angĩkorwo nĩndetĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ maku, ndũkahĩtũke ndungata yaku.
ʻO ne pehē, “Ko hoku ʻEiki, ko eni, kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae lelei ʻi ho ʻao, ʻofa ke ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu mei hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
4 Reke tũũĩ tũnini tũrehwo, na inyuĩ inyuothe mwĩthambe magũrũ na mũhurũke kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩa mũtĩ ũyũ.
Tuku ke ʻomi ha vai siʻi, pea fufulu homou vaʻe, pea mou mālōlō ʻi he lolo ʻakau.
5 Na niĩ thiĩ ndĩmũrehere kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa, nĩgeetha mũcookwo nĩ hinya, kuona atĩ nĩmwagĩũka kwa ndungata yanyu, nĩguo mũcooke mwĩthiĩre.” Makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ wega mũno, ĩka o ũguo woiga.”
Pea te u ʻomi ha konga mā, pea fakafiemālie homou loto; pea hili ia te mou ʻalu; he ko ia kuo mou haʻu ai ki hoʻomou tamaioʻeiki.” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ke ke fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea.”
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Iburahĩmu akĩhiũha agĩthiĩ hema-inĩ kũrĩ Sara, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya ibaba ithatũ cia mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu wega, ũũkande na ũruge mĩgate naihenya.”
Pea ʻalu fakatoʻotoʻo ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he fale, kia Sela ʻo ne pehē, “Teuteu fakavave ʻae fua ʻe tolu ʻoe mahoaʻa lelei ʻo natu ia, ʻo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā, pea taʻo ia ʻi he ngotoʻumu.
7 Ningĩ Iburahĩmu agĩtengʼera rũũru-inĩ, agĩthuura njaũ njega na njororo, akĩmĩnengera ndungata, nayo ĩkĩmĩthĩnja naihenya.
Pea lele ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he fanga manu, ʻo ne toʻo mei ai ʻae ʻuhiki pulu molu mo lelei, ʻo ne ʻatu ia ki ha talavou pea naʻa ne fakatoʻotoʻo ʻa hono ngaohi.
8 Ningĩ Iburahĩmu akĩmarehera iria imata na iria rĩa mwĩtha, na nyama cia njaũ ĩyo yathĩnjĩtwo, agĩciiga hau mbere yao. Nake akĩrũgama hakuhĩ nao mũtĩ-inĩ rĩrĩa maarĩĩaga.
Pea ne toʻo mai ʻae pota, mo e huʻahuhu, pea mo e ʻuhiki pulu naʻa ne ngaohi, ʻo ne tuku ia ʻi honau ʻao; pea tuʻu ia ʻo ofi kiate kinautolu ʻi he lolo ʻakau, pea naʻa nau kai.”
9 Maarĩkia kũrĩa makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Sara mũtumia waku-rĩ, arĩ kũ?” Iburahĩmu akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Arĩ kũũrĩa hema thĩinĩ.”
Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e fē ʻa Sela, ko ho uaifi?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he fale fehikitaki ia.”
10 Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩngooka kũrĩ we rĩngĩ hĩndĩ o ta ĩno mwaka ũyũ ũroka, na Sara mũtumia waku nĩagaciara kaana ga kahĩĩ.” Nake Sara nĩathikagĩrĩria arĩ hau mũromo-inĩ wa hema ĩrĩa yarĩ thuutha wa Iburahĩmu.
Pea ne pehē, “Ko e moʻoni te u toe haʻu kiate koe, ʻi he kuonga totonu; pea vakai, ʻe maʻu ʻe ho uaifi ko Sela, ha tama.” Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Sela ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono tuʻa.
11 Na rĩrĩ, Iburahĩmu na Sara maarĩ akũrũ na magatindĩka mĩaka yao ma, nake Sara akahĩtũkia mĩaka ya gũciara.
Pea naʻe motuʻa ʻa ʻEpalahame mo Sela, pea naʻe lahi hona taʻu: naʻe ʻikai kei ia Sela ʻae anga ʻoe fefine.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Sara agĩĩthekera, akĩĩyũria atĩrĩ, “Thuutha wa gũkũra ũũ-rĩ, na mwathi wakwa nĩ mũkũrũ-rĩ, no ngĩgĩe na gĩkeno kĩu?”
Ko ia naʻe katakata loto ai ʻa Sela, ʻo pehē, “He ko e moʻoni, te u nekeneka au, ka kuo u motuʻa, pea kuo motuʻa mo ʻeku ʻeiki foki?”
13 Nake Jehova akĩũria Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũma Sara atheke na eyũrie, ‘Ti-itherũ no ngĩe na mwana ndĩ mũkũrũ ũguo?’
Pea folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalahame, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā naʻe kata ai ʻa Sela, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni koā te u fanauʻi ha tama ʻeau ka kuo u motuʻa?’
14 Kaĩ kũrĩ ũndũ ũngĩrema Jehova? Mwaka ũyũ ũroka-rĩ, nĩngacooka ihinda rĩrĩa rĩamũre, nake Sara nĩagaciara kaana ga kahĩĩ.”
He ʻoku ai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku faingataʻa kia Sihova? ʻI he kuonga kuo kotofa te u toe haʻu kiate koe, pea ʻe maʻu ʻe ho uaifi ko Sela ʻae tama.”
15 Sara agĩĩtigĩra mũno, nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩheenania, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndinatheka.” Nowe Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ma nĩwatheka.”
Pea fakafisi ʻa Sela ʻo pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai te u kata;” he naʻa ne manavahē. Pea ne pehē, “ʻIkai, ka naʻa ke kata pe.”
16 Rĩrĩa andũ acio mookĩrire mathiĩ-rĩ, makĩerekera na Sodomu, nake Iburahĩmu agĩtwarana nao amoimagarie.
Pea tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata mei ai, pea hanga atu ki Sotoma, pea ʻalu ʻa ʻEpalahame mo kinautolu, ke moimoiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala.
17 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akĩĩyũria atĩrĩ, “No hithe Iburahĩmu ũrĩa ndĩrenda gwĩka?
Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “He te u fufū mei ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻae meʻa te u fai?
18 Ti-itherũ Iburahĩmu nĩagatuĩka rũrĩrĩ rũnene na rwa hinya, na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ nĩikarathimwo nĩ ũndũ wake.
He ko e moʻoni ʻe hoko ʻa ʻEpalahame ko e puleʻanga lahi mo mālohi ʻaupito, pea ʻe monūʻia ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
19 Nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩmũthuurĩte nĩgeetha onagĩrĩrie ciana ciake, na nyũmba yake, na arĩa magooka thuutha wake, kũrũmagia mĩthiĩre ya Jehova na ũndũ wa gwĩkaga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire, na kĩhooto, nĩgeetha Jehova akaahingĩria Iburahĩmu ũrĩa aamwĩrĩire.”
He ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi ia, te ne fekau ʻene fānau mo hono kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē tuku fakaholo, pea te nau ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo Sihova, ke fai ʻae angatonu, mo e fakamaau: koeʻuhi ke fakahoko ʻe Sihova kia ʻEpalahame, ʻaia kotoa pē kuo ne lea ʻaki kiate ia.”
20 Ningĩ Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũkayo wĩgiĩ Sodomu na Gomora nĩ mũnene mũno, naguo wĩhia wao nĩ mũũru mũno.
Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “Koeʻuhi kuo lahi ʻae tangi ʻa Sotoma mo Komola, pea kuo hoko ʻo kovi ʻaupito ʻenau angahala;
21 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio niĩ nĩngũikũrũka thiĩ nyone kana ũũru ũrĩa mekĩte nĩũigana ikaya rĩrĩa rĩnginyĩire. Na aakorwo tiguo-rĩ, nĩngũmenya ũrĩa ngwĩka.”
Ko ia te u ʻalu hifo ni, ʻo mamata, pe kuo nau fai kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e tangi ʻo ia, ʻaia kuo aʻu mai kiate au: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, pea te u ʻilo.”
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio makiuma hau magĩthiĩ merekeire Sodomu, no Iburahĩmu agĩtigwo arũgamĩte mbere ya Jehova.
Pea naʻe hanga atu mei ai ʻae mata ʻoe ongo tangata ke na ʻalu atu ki Sotoma: ka naʻe kei tuʻu pe ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
23 Nake Iburahĩmu agĩkuhĩrĩria Jehova akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa athingu ũkũmaniinanĩria hamwe na arĩa aaganu?
Pea ʻunuʻunu atu ke ofi ʻa ʻEpalahame, ʻo ne pehē, “Pea te ke fakaʻauha fakataha ʻae angatonu mo e angahala?
24 Ĩ kũngĩkorwo kũrĩ na andũ mĩrongo ĩtano athingu itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene? Ti-itherũ no ũrĩniine na ndũrĩhonokie nĩ ũndũ wa andũ acio mĩrongo ĩtano athingu marĩ kuo?
Naʻa ʻoku ʻi he kolo ʻae angatonu ʻe toko nimangofulu: pea te ke fakaʻauha foki, ka ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui ʻae potu, koeʻuhi ko e angatonu ʻe toko nimangofulu ʻoku ʻi ai?
25 Ũroaga gwĩka ũndũ ta ũcio, wa kũũraganĩria arĩa athingu hamwe na arĩa aaganu, arĩa athingu na arĩa aaganu ũmataranĩrie ũndũ ũmwe. Ũroaga gwĩka ũndũ ta ũcio! Mũtuanĩri ciira wa thĩ yothe-rĩ, githĩ ndagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire?”
Ke mamaʻo ʻiate koe ha fai pehē, ke tāmateʻi ʻae angatonu fakataha mo e angahala, pea ke fakatatau ʻae angatonu ki he angahala, ke mamaʻo ia ʻiate koe: ʻikai ʻe fai totonu ʻae Fakamaau ʻo māmani kotoa pē?”
26 Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ingĩkora andũ mĩrongo ĩtano athingu kũu itũũra rĩu inene rĩa Sodomu-rĩ, nĩngũhonokia kũndũ kũu guothe nĩ ũndũ wao.”
Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kapau te u ʻilo ʻi Sotoma ʻae angatonu ʻe toko nimangofulu, te u fakamoʻui ʻae potu kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko kinautolu.”
27 Ningĩ Iburahĩmu akĩaria rĩngĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Rĩu tondũ nĩngĩĩũmĩrĩirie nginya ndaaria na Mwathani, o na gũtuĩka ndĩ o rũkũngũ na mũhu-rĩ, atĩrĩ,
Pea lea ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ko eni kuo u lea au kia Sihova, ka ko e efu, mo e efuefu pe au:
28 ĩ hangĩaga andũ atano a acio mĩrongo ĩtano athingu? Nĩ ũngĩniina itũũra rĩu inene rĩothe nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga acio atano?” Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ingĩkora andũ mĩrongo ĩna na atano kuo, ndikũrĩniina.”
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ʻae toko nima ʻi he toko nimangofulu ʻoku angatonu: pea te ke fakaʻauha ʻae kolo kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko e toko nima? Pea pehē ʻe ia, kapau te u ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko fāngofulu ma toko nima, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ia.”
29 O rĩngĩ Iburahĩmu akĩmwarĩria akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ĩ ũngĩkora andũ mĩrongo ĩna tu kuo?” Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ wa acio mĩrongo ĩna-rĩ, ndikũrĩniina.”
Pea ne toe lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Pea kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko fāngofulu.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fai ia, koeʻuhi koe toko fāngofulu ko ia.”
30 Ningĩ Iburahĩmu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani aroaga kũrakara, no areke njarie. Ĩ ũngĩkora andũ mĩrongo ĩtatũ kuo?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndikũrĩniina ingĩkora andũ mĩrongo ĩtatũ kuo.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻa houhau ʻa Sihova, pea te u lea: Kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko tolungofulu.” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fai ia, ʻo kapau te u ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko tolungofulu.”
31 Iburahĩmu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu tondũ nĩngĩĩũmĩrĩirie nginya ndaaria na Mwathani-rĩ, ĩ kũngĩoneka o andũ mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kuo?” Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ wa acio mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, ndikũrĩniina.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, kuo u lea ni kia Sihova: Kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko uofulu.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ia koeʻuhi ko e toko uofulu ko ia.”
32 Ningĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani aroaga kũrakara no areke njarie rĩngĩ rĩmwe. Ĩ kũngĩoneka o andũ ikũmi kuo?” Nake Jehova agĩcookia, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ wa acio ikũmi-rĩ, ndikũrĩniina.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻa houhau ʻa Sihova, pea te u lea ni ʻo tā tuʻo taha pe; Kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae toko hongofulu.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ia, koeʻuhi ko e toko hongofulu ko ia.”
33 Rĩrĩa Jehova aarĩkirie kwaria na Iburahĩmu, agĩĩthiĩra, nake Iburahĩmu agĩcooka mũciĩ.
Pea hāʻele atu ai ʻa Sihova ʻi hono hala, hili ʻena alea mo ʻEpalahame; pea liu mai ʻa ʻEpalahame ki hono potu.
