Ezekiela 20

1 EIA hoi kekahi, i ka hiku o ka makahiki, i ka lima o ka mahina, i ka la umi o ua mahina la, hele mai kekahi poe o na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela e ninau ia Iehova, a noho iho la imua o ko'u alo.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono fitu ʻoe taʻu, ʻi hono nima ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he māhina, naʻe haʻu ai ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli ke fakafehuʻi kia Sihova, pea naʻa nau nofo ʻi hoku ʻao.

2 Alaila hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,

Pea naʻe hoko mai kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,

3 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku oe i na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, e i aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; Hele mai nei oukou e ninau ia'u? Ma ko'u ola ana, aole au e ninauia e oukou, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.

“Foha ʻoe tangata, lea ki he kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; kuo mou haʻu ke fakafehuʻi kiate au? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, Hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, ʻe ʻikai te u tali ha fakafehuʻi meiate kimoutolu.

4 E hoohewa oe ia lakou, e hoohewa ia lakou, e ke keiki a ke kanaka? E hoike ia lakou i na mea I hoopailua o ko lakou poe makua.

“ʻIkai te ke fakahalaia ʻakinautolu, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, ʻikai te ke fakahalaia ʻakinautolu? Fakaʻilo kiate kinautolu ʻae fakalielia ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai:

5 E olelo aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku penei; i ka la i koho aku ai au i ka Iseraela, a i hapai ai i kuu lima i na keiki a ka ohana a Iakoba, a i hoike ai ia'u iho ia lakou ma ka aina Aigupita, i ka wa i hapai ai au i kuu lima ia lakou, me ka i ana'e, Owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua;

Pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻI he ʻaho ko ia naʻaku fili ʻa ʻIsileli, pea u hiki hake hoku nima ki he hako ʻoe fale ʻo Sēkope, pea naʻaku fakahā au kiate kinautolu ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi heʻeku hiki hake hoku nima kiate kinautolu, pea u pehē, Ko au, ko Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua;

6 I ka la i hapai ai au i kuu lima ia lakou, e lawe mai ia lakou mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, i ka aina a'u i nana aku ai no lakou, e kahe ana ka waiu a me ka meli, ka mea nani o na aina a pau:

‌ʻI he ʻaho naʻaku hiki hake hoku nima kiate kinautolu, ke u ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ki ha fonua ne u fili mai moʻonautolu, naʻe fetāfeaki ai ʻae huʻahuhu mo e hone, ʻaia ko e fungani ʻi he fonua kotoa pē.

7 Alaila olelo aku la au ia lakou, E haalele oukou kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka mea inainaia o kona mau maka, mai noho a hoohaumia ia oukou iho ma na kii o Aigupita: owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua.

Pea naʻaku toki pehē ai kiate kinautolu, Liʻaki atu ʻekimoutolu, ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ʻoku ne sio ki ai, pea ʻoua naʻa fakaʻuli ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi tamapua ʻo ʻIsipite: Ko au ko Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua.

8 Aka, kipi mai la lakou ia'u, aole o lakou makemake e hoolohe mai ia'u; aole lakou i haalele kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka mea inainaia o ko lakou mau maka, aole hoi i haalele i na kii o Aigupita: alaila olelo aku au, E ninini aku au i ko'u ukiuki maluna o lakou, e hooko i ko'u huhu ia lakou mawaenakonu o ka aina o Aigupita.

Ka naʻa nau angatuʻu kiate au, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo kiate au: naʻe ʻikai ke liʻaki taki taha ʻe he tangata, ʻae ngaahi fakalielia naʻa nau sio ki ai, pea naʻe ʻikai liakiʻi ʻekinautolu ʻae ngaahi tamapua ʻo ʻIsipite: ko ia naʻaku pehē ai, te u lilingi atu hoku houhau kiate kinautolu, ke fai ʻeku houhau kiate kinautolu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite.

9 Aka, ua hana au no ko'u inoa, i ole ia e hoohaumiaia i na maka o na lahuikanaka, iwaena o ia poe i noho ai lakou: imua hoi o ko lakou mau maka i hoike ai au ia'u iho ia lakou, i ka lawe ana mai ia lakou mai loko mai o ka aina o Aigupita.

Ka naʻaku ngāue koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakalielia ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni, ʻaia naʻa nau nofo ai, ʻakinautolu naʻaku fakahā au ʻi honau ʻao kiate kinautolu, ʻi heʻeku ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.

10 A lawe mai la hoi au ia lakou mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, a alakai ia lakou iloko o ka waonahele.

Ko ia naʻaku pehē ai ke nau ʻalu atu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he toafa.

11 Haawi aku la hoi au i ka'u mau kauoha ia lakou, a hoike aku la hoi au i ko'u mau kanawai ia lakou, o na mea ke malamaia e ke kanaka, e ola ia ilaila.

Pea naʻaku foaki kiate kinautolu ʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea u fakaʻilo kiate kinautolu ʻa hoku finangalo, ʻaia ka fai ʻe he tangata te ne moʻui moʻoni mei ai.

12 A o ko'u mau Sabati kekahi ka'u i haawi aku ai ia lakou, i hoailona iwaena o'u a me lakou, i ike lakou owau no Iehova ka mea nana lakou i hoano.

Pea naʻaku foaki foki kiate kinautolu ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu, ko e fakaʻilonga kiate kinautolu mo au, ke nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻoku fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakinautolu.

13 Aka, kipi mai la ka ohana a Iseraela ia'u ma ka waonahele, aole lakou i hele ma ka'u mau kauoha, ua hoowahawaha hoi lakou i ko'u mau kanawai, o na mea ke malamaia e ke kanaka, e ola ia ilaila: a ua hoohaumia nui lakou i ko'u mau Sabati. Alaila elele aku la au, E ninini aku au i ko'u ukiuki maluna o lakou ma ka waonahele, e hoopau ai ia lakou.

Ka naʻe angatuʻu ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli kiate au ʻi he toafa: naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻalu ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea naʻa nau paetaku ki hoku finangalo, ʻaia ka fai ki ai ʻae tangata, te ne moʻui moʻoni mei ai; pea naʻe fakalieliaʻi lahi ʻaupito ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu: ko ia ne u pehē, te u lilingi hoku houhau kiate kinautolu ʻi he toafa, ke nau ʻauha ai.

14 Aka, hana iho la au no ko'u inoa, i ole ia e hoohaumiaia i na maka o na lahuikanaka, imua o ko lakou alo i lawe mai ai au ia lakou iwaho.

Ka naʻaku ngāue koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa, ke ʻoua naʻa fakalieliaʻi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni, ʻakinautolu naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ʻao.

15 Ua hapai no nae au i kuu lima ia lakou, ma ka waonahele, e lawe ole au ia lakou i ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai, e kahe ana ka waiu a me ka meli, ka mea naui o na aina a pau;

Kaeʻumaʻā foki, naʻaku hiki hake hoku nima kiate kinautolu ʻi he toafa, koeʻuhi ke u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua naʻaku foaki kiate kinautolu ʻoku fetafeaki ai ʻae huʻahuhu mo e hone, ʻaia ko e fungani ʻi he fonua kotoa pē;

16 No ka mea, ua hoowahawaha lakou i ko'u mau kanawai, aole hoi i hele ma ka'u mau kauoha, aka, ua hoohaumia lakou i ko'u mau Sabati; no ka mea, ua hele ko lakou naau mamuli o ko lakou mau kii.

Koeʻuhi naʻa nau paetaku ki hoku finangalo, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻalu ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, ka naʻa nau fakaʻuliʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu: he naʻe muimui honau loto ki honau ngaahi tamapua.

17 Aka hoi, ua aloha aku ko'u maka ia lakou i ole e luku ia lakou; aole hoi au i hoopau ia lakou ma ka waonahele.

Ka neongo ia, naʻe mamae hoku mata kiate kinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻosiʻosi ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa.

18 Aka, olelo aku la au i ka lakou mau keiki ma ka waonahele, Mai hele oukou ma na oihana a ko oukou mau makuakane, aole hoi e malama i ko lakou mau kanawai, aole hoi e hoohaumia ia oukou iho me ko lakou mau akuakii.

Ka naʻaku pehē ki heʻenau fānau ʻi he toafa, ʻoua naʻa mou muimui ʻi he ngaahi fekau ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ki honau loto, pe te mou fakalieliaʻi ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻa honau ngaahi tamapua;

19 Owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua; e hele hoi oukou ma ka'u mau kauoha, a e malama i ko'u mau kanawai, a e hana oukou ma ia mau mea:

Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea tauhi ki hoku finangalo ke fai ki ai;

20 A e hoauo hoi i ko'u mau Sabati; a e lilo ia i hoailona iwaena o'u a me oukou, i ike oukou owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua.

Pea fakatapui ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu; pea ʻe tuku ia ko e fakaʻilonga kiate kimoutolu mo au, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo, ko au, ko Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua.

21 Kipi mai la nae na keiki ia'u; aole lakou i hele ma ka'u mau kauoha, aole hoi lakou i malama i ko'u mau kanawai e hana malaila, o ua mea ke malamaia e ke kanaka, e ola ia ilaila: ua hoohaumia lakou i ko'u mau Sabati; alaila olelo iho la au, e niuini aku au i ko'u ukiuki maluna o lakou, e hooko ai i ko'u huhu ia lakou ma ka waonahele.

Ka neongo ia naʻe angatuʻu ʻae fānau kiate au: naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku fekau, pe te nau tauhi ki hoku finangalo, ke fai ki ai, ʻaia ka fai ʻe he tangata, te ne moʻui moʻoni mei ai; naʻa nau fakaʻuliʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu: ko ia ne u pehē ai, te u lilingi hoku houhau kiate kinautolu, ke fai ʻeku houhau kiate kinautolu ʻi he toafa.

22 Aka, hoihoi mai au i kuu lima, a hana hoi au no ko'u inoa, i ole ia e hoohaumiaia i na maka o na lahuikanaka, imua o ko lakou alo i lawe mai ai au ia lakou.

Ka naʻa mo ia, ne u taʻofi ki hoku nima, pea u ngāue koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa, ke ʻoua naʻa fakalieliaʻi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni, ʻakinautolu naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ʻao.

23 Hapai ae la hoi au i kuu lima ia lakou ma ka waonahele, e hooauhee liilii ia lakou iwaena o na lahuikanaka, a e hoopuehu ia lakou ma na aina.

Pea naʻaku hiki hake foki ʻa hoku nima kiate kinautolu ʻi he toafa, koeʻuhi ke u fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ki he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi hiteni, pea fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fonua;

24 No ka mea, aole lakou i hana ma ko'u mau kanawai, aka, ua hoowahawaha i ka'u mau kauoha, a ua hoohaumia i ko'u mau Sabati, a o ko lakou mau maka, aia no mamuli o na kii o ko lakou mau makua.

Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau fai hoku finangalo, ka naʻa nau manukiʻi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau, mo nau fakaʻuliʻi ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu, pea naʻe muimui ʻa honau mata ki he ngaahi tamapua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.

25 Nolaila hoi, haawi au no lakou i na kauoha pono ole, a me na kanawai i ola ole ai lakou ilaila;

Ko ia naʻaku tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi fekau naʻe ʻikai lelei, mo e tuʻutuʻuni ʻe ʻikai te nau moʻui ai;

26 A ua hoohaumia au ia lakou iloko o ko lakou mau haawina; i ko lakou hoohele ana iwaena o ke ahi i na mea a pau i wehe ae i ka opu, i hooneoneo au ia lakou, i mea e ike ai lakou owau no Iehova.

Pea naʻaku fakalieliaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau ngaahi feilaulau ʻanautolu, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau tuku ke ʻalu atu ʻi he afi ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei he manāva, koeʻuhi ke u fakatōkilalo ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.

27 Nolaila e olelo aku, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, i ka ohana a Iseraela, a e i aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Maloko no hoi o keia, i hoino wale mai ai ko oukou mau makua ia'u, i ka lakou hana hewa ana mai ia'u:

“Ko ia, foha ʻoe tangata, lea atu ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Ko e moʻoni, ko e meʻa eni kuo takuanoa au ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, koeʻuhi kuo nau fai ʻae angahala kiate au.

28 I ko'u lawe ana mai ia lakou i ka aina, nona i hapai ai au i kuu lima e haawi aku au ia no lakou, a ike lakou i na puu kiekie a pau, a me na laau paapu a pau, alaila kaumaha ae la lakou i ka lakou mau mohai malaila; a haawi lakou ilaila i ka hoonaukiuki ana o ka lakou alana: ilaila hoi i hana aku ai lakou i ko lakou mea ala, a i ninini aku ai i ka lakou mau mohai inu.

He naʻe hili ʻeku ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua, ʻaia naʻaku hiki hake ai hoku nima kiate kinautolu, ke u foaki ia kiate kinautolu, pea nau toki mamata ki hono ngaahi potu māʻolunga kotoa pē, mo e vao ʻakau matolu, pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻi ai ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau, pea nau fai ʻi ai ʻae fakahouhau ʻi heʻenau ngaahi feilaulau: naʻe ngaohi foki ʻi ai ʻenau fakanamu kakala, ʻonau lilingi ʻi ai ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau inu.

29 Alaila olelo aku la au ia lakou, Heaha ka wahi kiekie e hele aku ai oukou? A ua kapaia kona inoa o Bama a hiki i keia la.

Pea naʻaku toki lea kiate kinautolu, Ko e hā ʻae potu māʻolunga ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ki ai? Pea ʻoku ui ia ko Pama, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

30 Nolaila e olelo aku i ka ohana a Iseraela, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; Ua haumia anei oukou mamuli o ka aoao o ko oukou mau makua? A ua moe kolohe anei oukou mamuli o ko lakou mau mea inainaia?

“Ko ia, lea ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; kuo mou fakalielia ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou ngaahi tamai? Pea ʻoku mou fai feʻauaki ʻo hangē ko ʻenau ngaahi fakalielia?

31 No ka mea, i ko oukou kaumaha ana i ka oukou mau mohai, i ko oukou hoohele ana i ka oukou mau keiki iwaena o ke ahi, ua hoohaumia oukou ia oukou iho me ko oukou mau akuakii a pau, a hiki i keia la; a e uinauia mai anei au e oukou, e ka ohana a Iseraela? Na ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, aole au e ninauia mai e oukou.

He ka mou ka ʻatu hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau, pea ka mou ka tuku ke ʻalu atu ʻi he afi ʻa homou ngaahi foha, ʻoku mou fakalieliaʻi ʻakimoutolu mo homou ngaahi tamapua, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni: pea ʻe fakafehuʻi au ʻekimoutolu, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, ʻe ʻikai te u tali haʻamou fakafehuʻi kiate au.

32 A o ka mea i kupu iloko o ko oukou naau, aole loa ia, i ka oukou olelo ana, E like kakou me na lahuikanaka, e like me na ohana o na aina i ka hoomana i ka laau a me ka pohaku.

Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi homou loto ke fai, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hoko ia, ʻaia ʻoku mou lea ʻaki, Te mau hangē ko e hiteni, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻi he ngaahi fonua, ʻoku tauhi ki he ʻakau mo e maka.

33 Ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, He oiaio, me ka lima ikaika, a me ka lima kikoo aku, a me ka ukiuki i nininiia aku, e alii ai au maluna o oukou:

“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, te u puleʻi moʻoni ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae nima mālohi, pea mo e nima kuo mafao, mo e lilingi atu ʻoe houhau.

34 A e lawe mai au ia oukou mai waena mai o kanaka, a e hoakoakoa au ia oukou mai na aina mai i hooauheeia'i oukou, me ka lima ikaika, a me ka lima kikoo, a me ka ukiuki i niniuiia'ku.

Pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai, pea te u tānaki ʻakimoutolu mei he ngaahi fonua kuo mou he ki ai, ʻaki ʻae nima mālohi mo e nima kuo mafao, pea mo e lilingi atu ʻoe houhau.

35 A e lawe au ia oukou iloko o ka waouahele o kanaka, a malaila au e hakaka ai me oukou, he maka no he maka.

Pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he ‘Toafa ʻoe Kakai,’ pea te ta fai mo koe ʻi ai ko e mata ki he mata.

36 Me au hoi i hakaka ai me ko oukou mau makua ma ka waonahele o ka aina Aigupita, pela e hakaka ai au me oukou, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.

Hangē ko ʻeku fai mo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻi he toafa ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻe pehē ʻa ʻeku fai mo kimoutolu,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

37 A e hoohele ae au ia oukou malalo ae o ko kookoo, a e lawe au ia oukou iloko o ka mea paa o ka berita:

“Pea te u pule ke mou ʻalu atu ʻi he lolo vaʻa ʻakau, pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ke mou puke ki heʻeku fuakava:

38 A e holoi aku wau mai waena aku o oukou i na kipi, a me ka poe i hana hewa mai ia'u; e lawe mai au ia lakou mai ka aina mai i noho iki ai lakou, aole nae lakou e komo i ka aina o ka Iseraela; a e ike i oukou owau no Iehova.

Pea te u fakamaʻa ʻakimoutolu mei ho kau angatuʻu mo kinautolu ʻoku fai angahala kiate au: Te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ʻoku nau ʻāunofo ai, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau hū atu ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.

39 A oukou hoi, e ka ohana a Iseraela, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; E hele oukou, a e malama kela mea keia mea i kona mau kii, a mahope aku hoi, ina aole oukou e hoolohe mai ia'u: aka, mai hoohaumia hou i ko'u inoa, me ka oukou mau haawina a me ko oukou mau akuakii.

Pea ko e meʻa kiate kimoutolu, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻAlu ʻakimoutolu, tauhi taki taha ki hono tamapua, ʻo fai ki mui foki, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo kiate au: kaeʻoua naʻa mou toe fakalieliaʻi ʻa hoku huafa tāpuhā ʻi hoʻomou feilaulau, pea mo homou ngaahi tamapua.

40 No ka mea, ma ko'u mauna hoano, ma ka mauna kiekie o ka Iseraela, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, malaila e malama mai ai ia'u ka ohana a pau a Iseraela, o ka poe a pau loa ma ka aina; malaila e maliu ai au ia lakou, malaila e kauoha ai au i ka oukou mau mohai, a me na hua mua o ka oukou mau alana, me ko oukou mau mea hoano a pau.

Koeʻuhi ʻe tauhi au ʻe he fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi hoku moʻunga māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he moʻunga ʻoe māʻolunga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: te u maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻi ai, pea te u ʻamanaki ʻi ai ki hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau, mo e ʻinasi mei hoʻomou meʻa foaki, mo hoʻomou meʻa māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.

41 E maliu au ia oukou me ko oukou mea ala ono, aia lawe mai au ia oukou mai ka poe kanaka mai, a e hoakoakoa ia oukou mai loko mai o na aina i hooauhee liilii ia ai oukou; a e hoanoia mai au ma o oukou la i na maka o na lahuikanaka.

Te u maʻu ʻakimoutolu mo hoʻomou namu kakala, ʻo kau ka ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai, pea tānaki ʻakimoutolu mei he ngaahi fonua ʻaia kuo mou hē ki ai, pea ʻe fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi au ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni.

42 A e ike oukou owau no Iehova, aia lawe mai au ia oukou iloko o ka aina o ka Iseraela, i ka aina nona i hapai ai au i kuu lima e haawi aku ia i ko oukou poe makua.

Pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka toe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he fonua ko ia, naʻaku hiki hake ai hoku nima, ke foaki ia ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.

43 A malaila e hoomanao ai oukou i ko oukou mau aoao, a me ka oukou mau hana a pau, na mea i haumia ai oukou; a e hoowahawaha oukou ia oukou iho i ko oukou mau maka, no na mea ino a pau a oukou i hana aku ai.

Pea te mou manatu ʻi ai ki homou ngaahi hala, pea mo hoʻomou faianga, ʻaia kuo mou fakalielia ai; pea te mou fehiʻa kiate kimoutolu ʻi homou ʻao pe ʻomoutolu, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi kovi ʻaia kuo mou fai.

44 A e ike no oukou owau no Iehova, aia hana au me oukou no ko'u inoa, aole mamuli o ko oukou mau aoao hewa, aole hoi e like me ka oukou hana hewa ana, e ka ohana a Iseraela, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.

Pea te mou ʻilo, ko au, ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka ngāue kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa, ka ʻe ʻikai ke hangē ko homou ngaahi hala kovi, pe hangē ko hoʻomou fai fakalielia, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”

45 Hiki mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,

Pea naʻe hoko mai foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

46 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hookupono oe i kou wahi maka i ke kukuluhema, a e hoolei aku i kau olelo ma ka aoao hema e wanana ku e oe i ka ululaau o ka aina hema:

“Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahanga ho mata ki he feituʻu tonga, pea tuku hoʻo lea ki he feituʻu tonga, pea ke kikite ki he vao ʻakau ʻoe ngoue ʻi he feituʻu tonga;

Pea lea ki he vao ʻakau ʻi he feituʻu tonga, Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova; ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, te u tutu ʻae afi ʻiate koe, pea ʻe maumau ai ʻae ʻakau mata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate koe, mo e ʻakau mōmoa kotoa pē; ʻe ʻikai fuʻifuʻi ʻae afi ulo, pea ʻe mangia ai ʻae mata kotoa pē, mei he feituʻu tonga ʻo ʻalu ki he tokelau.

Pea naʻaku toki pehē ai, “ʻOiauē, ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua! ʻOku nau pehē kiate au, ‘ʻIkai ʻoku lea ia ʻi he fakatātā pe?’”
