Kinohi 17

1 I KE kanaiwakumamaiwa o na makahiki o Aberama, ikea mai la o Iehova e Aberama, i mai la ia ia, Owau no ke Akua mana; e hele oe imua o ko'u alo, a e hemolele oe.

Pea ʻi he hivangofulu ma hiva taʻu ʻoe motuʻa ʻo ʻEpalame naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalame, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko au, ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi; ke ke ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoku ʻao, pea ke haohaoa.

2 A e hoopaa auanei au i kau berita mawaena o'u a ou; a e hoomahuahua aku au ia oe a nui loa.

Pea te u fai ʻa ʻeku fuakava ʻiate koe mo au, pea te u fakatokolahi ʻaupito koe.”

3 Moe iho la o Aberama ilalo kona alo: a kamailio mai la ke Akua me ia, i mai la,

Pea tō foʻohifo ʻa ʻEpalame ki he kelekele pea folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia, ʻo pehē;

4 Owau no, ea, aia hoi me oe ka'u berita, a e lilo auanei oe i kupuna no na lahuikanaka he nui loa.

“Ko au eni, Vakai, ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻeku fuakava, pea te ke hoko ko e tamai ki he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi;

5 Aole oe e hea hou ia, o Aberama, aka, o Aberahama kou inoa: no ka mea, ua hoolilo aku no au ia oe i kupuna no na lahuikanaka he nui loa.

Pea ʻe ʻikai toe ui ho hingoa ko ʻEpalame, ka ko ʻEpalahame ho hingoa, he kuo u ngaohi koe “ko e tamai ki he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi.”

6 A e hoolilo no wau ia oe i mea hoohua nui loa, e hoopuka auanei au i na lahuikanaka mailoko aku ou, a e puka mai no hoi na alii nui mailoko aku ou.

Pea te u ngaohi koe ke ke tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻaupito, pea te u ngaohi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga lahi ʻiate koe, pea ʻe tupu ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻiate koe.

7 A e hoopaa no hoi au i ka'u berita mawaena o'u a ou, a me kau poe mamo mahope ou ma na hanauna o lakou, i berita mau loa, i Akua no au nou, a no kau poe mamo mahope ou.

Pea te u fakamaau ʻeku fuakava kiate koe, mo ho hako ʻe tupu ʻiate koe ʻamui, ʻi heʻenau ngaahi toʻutangata, ko e fuakava taʻengata, ke u ʻiate koe, ko e ʻOtua, pea ki ho hako ki mui ʻiate koe.

8 A e haawi aku no au i ka aina au e noho malihini nei, i ka aina a pau o Kanaana, nou, a no kau poe mamo mahope ou, i wahi e noho mau ai: a owau hoi ko lakou Akua.

Pea te u foaki kiate koe, pea mo ho hako ʻe hoko mo koe, ʻae fonua ʻoku ke ʻāunofo ki ai, ʻio ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻo Kēnani, ko e tofiʻa taʻengata; pea teu ʻiate kinautolu ko honau ʻOtua.”

9 Olelo mai la ke Akua ia Aberahama, Nolaila, e malama oe i ka'u berita, o oe a me kau poe mamo mahope ou, ma na hanauna o lakou.

Pea pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame, “Ko ia te ke tauhi ai ʻeku fuakava, ʻa koe mo ho hako ʻe hoko mo koe ʻi honau ngaahi toʻutangata.

10 Eia ka'u berita e malama ai oukou mawaena o'u a o oukou, a me kau poe mamo mahope ou; E okipoepoeia na keikikane a pau o oukou.

Ko eni ʻa ʻeku fuakava, ʻaia te mou tauhi, kiate au mo kimoutolu mo ho hako ʻe tupu ʻamui ʻiate koe; E kamu ʻae tamasiʻi tangata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu.

11 E okipoepoe oukou i ka io o ko oukou omaka; o ka hoailona ia o ka berita mawaena o'u a o oukou.

Pea te mou kamu ʻae kili ʻo homou potu; pea ko e fakaʻilonga ia ʻoe fuakava kiate au mo kimoutolu.

12 I ka poawalu o kona ola ana, e okipoepoeia na keikikane a pau o na hanauna o oukou; o ka mea i hanau ma kou wahi, a me ka mea i kuaiia i ke kala na ke kanaka e mai, ka mea aole nau i hua mai.

Pea ko ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ʻaho valu hono motuʻa ʻe kamu ia, ʻae tama tangata kotoa pē ʻi homou ngaahi toʻutangata, ko ia kuo fanauʻi ho fale, mo ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hoʻo fānau, ka kuo fakatauʻaki hoʻo koloa mei he muli.

13 O ka mea i hanau ma kou wahi, a me ka mea i kuaiia i kou kala, he pono no e okipoepoeia oia: a e pili auanei ka'u berita ma ko oukou io i berita mau loa.

Ko ia ʻe tupu ʻi ho fale, mo ia kuo fakatauʻaki hoʻo koloa ke ke kamu ia; pea ʻe ʻi homou sino ʻeku fuakava, ko e fuakava taʻengata ia.

14 A o ke keikikane okipoepoe ole ia, ke okipoepoe ole ia ka io o kona omaka, e hookiia'ku ia kanaka mai kona hanauna aku; ua haihai oia i ka'u berita.

Pea ko e tamasiʻi taʻekamu, ʻe motuhi ʻae laumālie ko ia mei hono kakai; he kuo ne siʻaki ʻeku fuakava.”

15 Olelo mai la ke Akua ia Aberahama, A o Sarai o kau wahine, aole oe e kahea hou aku i kona inoa, o Sarai, e kapaia oia, o Sara.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame, “Pea koeʻuhi ko Selai ko ho uaifi, ʻe ʻikai te ke ui hono hingoa ko Selai, ka ko Sela hono hingoa.

16 E hoopomaikai aku hoi au ia ia, a e haawi aku hoi au ia oe, i keikikane nana mai: oia, e hoopomaikai no au la ia, nana mai na lahuikanaka; a nana mai no hoi na alii o kanaka.

Pea te u tāpuaki ia, ʻo tuku kiate koe ʻae foha ʻiate ia; ʻio, te u tāpuaki ia, pea ʻe hoko ia, ko e faʻē ki he ngaahi puleʻanga; ʻe tupu ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe kakai.”

17 Alaila, moe iho la o Aberahama ilalo kona maka, akaaka iho la, a i iho la iloko o kona naau, E hanauia anei ke keiki na ka mea nona na makahiki he haneri? E hanau mai no anei o Sara, nona na makahiki he kanaiwa?

Pea tō foʻohifo ai ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he kelekele pea kata, ʻo ne pehē ʻi hono loto, “E tupu ha tama ʻiate ia ʻoku teau taʻu hono motuʻa? Pea ʻe feitama ʻa Sela, ʻaia ʻoku hivangofulu hono taʻu?

18 I aku la o Aberahama i ke Akua, Ina no o Isemaela e ola imua ou!

Pea pehēange ʻe ʻEpalahame ki he ʻOtua, ʻofa ke moʻui ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ʻi ho ʻao.”

19 I mai la ke Akua, He oiaio, na Sara e hanau ke keikikane nau, a e kapa aku oe i kona inoa o Isaaka: a e hoopaa auanei au i ka'u berita me ia, a me kana poe mamo mahope ona, i berita mau loa.

Pea pehē ʻe he ʻOtua, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe fanauʻi ʻe ho uaifi ko Sela, ha tama kiate koe; pea te ke ui hono hingoa ko ʻAisake: pea te u fakamaau ʻeku fuakava kiate ia, ko e fuakava taʻengata pea mo hono hako ʻe hoko mo ia.

20 A o Isemaela, ua hoolohe hoi au ia oe nona: Aia hoi, na hoopomaikai no au ia ia, a e hoohua auanei au i na keiki nana, a e hoomahuahua no hoi au ia ia; e hanau nana na alii he umikumamalua, a e hoolilo hoi au ia ia i Iahuikanaka nui.

Pea koeʻuhi ko ʻIsimeʻeli, kuo u fanongo kiate koe; “Vakai, kuo u tāpuaki ia, pea te u ngaohi ke tokolahi ʻaupito ia; te ne fakatupu ʻae ʻeiki ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, pea te u ngaohi ia ko e puleʻanga lahi.

21 Aka, e hoopaa auanei au i kuu berita ia Isaaka, i ka mea a Sara e hanau mai ai nau, i keia manawa o kela makahiki aku.

Ka ko ʻeku fuakava te u fakamaau ia kia ʻAisake, ʻaia ʻe fanauʻi ʻe Sela kiate koe, ʻi he kuonga totonu ʻi he taʻu ʻe hoko mai ni.”

22 A oki iho la kana kamailio ana me ia, hoi aku la ke Akua iluna mai o Aberahama aku.

Pea ngata ai ʻene lea kiate ia, pea hāʻele hake ʻae ʻOtua meia ʻEpalahame.

23 Lalau aku la o Aberahama i kana keiki ia Isemaela, a me na mea a pau i hanau ma kona hale, a me na mea a pau i kuaiia i kana kala, i na kane a pau o ko Aberahama mau ohua; a okipoepoe iho la i ka io o ko lakou omaka ia la hookahi no, e like me, ka ke Akua i olelo mai ai ia ia.

Pea ʻave ʻe ʻEpalahame hono foha ko ʻIsimeʻeli, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fāʻele ʻi hono fale, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fakatauʻaki ʻene koloa: ʻae tama tangata kotoa pē ʻi he fale ʻo ʻEpalahame; ʻo ne kamu ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia.

24 He kanaiwa na makahiki a me kumamaiwa o ko Aberahama ola ana, ia ia i okipoepoeia'i ma ka io o kona omaka.

Pea naʻe hivangofulu ma hiva taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻEpalahame, ʻi hono kamu.

25 He umikumamakolu na makahiki o Isemaela, ia ia i okipoepoeia'i ma ka io o kona omaka.

Pea naʻe hongofulu ma tolu taʻu hono foha ko ʻIsimeʻeli, ʻi he kamu ʻae kili ʻo hono potu.

26 Ia la hookahi no, i okipoepoeia'i o Aberahama, a me kana keiki o Isemaela.

‌ʻI he ʻaho pe taha ko ia naʻe kamu ai ʻa ʻEpalahame mo hono foha ko ʻIsimeʻeli,

27 Ua okipoepoe pu ia me ia na kanaka a pau o kona mau ohua, i hanau ma kona hale, a i kuaiia i kona kala na ke kanaka e mai.

Pea mo e tangata kotoa pē ʻo hono fale, naʻe tupu ʻi hono fale, pe fakatauʻaki ʻene koloa mei he muli, naʻa nau kamu kotoa pē mo ia.
