Malaki 1

1 K A WANANA o ka olelo a Iehova i ka Iseraela ma o Malaki la.

Ko e tala mamafa, ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻia Malakai, ki ʻIsileli.

2 Ua aloha aku au ia oukou, wahi a Iehova; Aka, ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha la kau i aloha mai ai ia makou? Aole anei o Esau ka hoahanau o Iakoba? wahi a Iehova; Aka, i aloha aku au ia Iakoba,

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “kuo u ʻofa kiate kimoutolu.” Ka ʻoku mou pehē, “Kuo ke ʻofa ʻi he hā kiate kimautolu? ʻIkai ko e taʻokete ʻo Sēkope ʻa ʻIsoa?” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova: “Ka naʻaku ʻofa kia Sēkope,

3 A hoowahawaha hoi au ia Esau, A hooneoneo aku la au i kona mau mauna, A hoolilo iho la i kona aina i mau wahi noho o ka waonahele.

pea ne u fehiʻa kia ʻIsoa, pea naʻaku ʻai ke lala hono ngaahi moʻunga, mo hono tofiʻa ko e toafa ki he fanga ngata.”

4 No ka mea, ke olelo nei ko Edoma, Ua auhulihia kakou, Aka, e kukulu hou auanei kakou i na wahi neoneo: Penei ka Iehova o na kaua i olelo mai ai, E kukulu lakou, a e wawahi hoi au: E kapaia lakou, Na aina o ka aia, A o na kanaka a Iehova e inaina mau loa ai.

Ka koeʻuhi ʻoku pehē ʻe ʻItomi, “Kuo fakamasiva ʻakimoutolu, ka te mau liliu mai mo langa hake ʻae ngaahi potu ʻoku lala;” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Te nau langa hake, ka te u holoki hifo ia ʻeau; pea tenau ui ʻakinautolu, ‘Ko e mata fonua ʻoe angahala,’ pea, ‘Ko e kakai ʻoku houhau ki ai ʻa Sihova ʻo taʻengata.’”

5 A e ike auanei ko oukou mau maka, a e olelo aku oukou, E hoonuiia auanei o Iehova mai ka palena aku o Iseraela.

Pea ʻe mamata ʻa homou mata, pea temou pehē, “ʻE fakaongoongolelei ʻa Sihova mei he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli.”

6 Ua hoomaikai ke keiki i kona makuakane, A o ke kauwa i kona haku: Ina hoi he makua wau, auhea la kuu hoomaikaiia? Ina hoi he haku wau, auhea la hoi kuu weliweliia? Wahi a Iehova o na kaua ia oukou, e na kahuna hoowahawaha i kuu inoa. Ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha ka makou i hoowahawaha ai i kou inoa?

“ʻOku fakaʻapaʻapa ʻae foha ki heʻene tamai, mo e tamaioʻeiki ki heʻene ʻeiki: pea ka ko e tamai au, pea kofaʻā ʻa hoku ongoongolelei? Pea ka ko e ʻeiki au, kofaʻā ia ʻae manavahē kiate au? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau kiate kimoutolu, ʻE kau taulaʻeiki, ʻoku paetaku ki hoku huafa. Pea ʻoku mou pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻemau paetaku ki ho huafa?’

7 Ke mohai mai nei oukou i ka berena haumia maluna o ko'u kuahu; Ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha la ka makou i hoohaumia aku ai ia oe? Ma ka mea a oukou e olelo nei, He mea wahawaha ka papaaina o Iehova.

‌ʻOku mou feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ma fakalielia ʻi hoku feilaulauʻanga; pea ʻoku mou pehē, ‘Kuo mau fakalieliaʻi koe ʻi he hā?’ ʻI hoʻomou pehē, ‘Ko e meʻa vaʻinga pe ʻae keinangaʻanga ʻa Sihova.’

8 Ina paha e kaumaha oukou i ka mea makapo i mea mohai, aole anei ia he hewa? Ina hoi e mohai oukou i ka mea oopa a me ka mea mai, aole anei he hewa ia? Ke i aku nei au, e haawi aku ia mea na kou alii, E oluolu mai anei ia ia oe? E maliu mai anei kela ia oe? wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

Pea kapau ʻoku mou ʻomi ʻae kui ʻo feilaulauʻaki, ʻikai ʻoku kovi ia? Pea kapau ʻoku mou feilaulau ʻaki ʻaia ʻoku ketu mo ia ʻoku mahaki, ʻikai ko e kovi ia? Ko eni, ʻatu ia kiate ia ʻoku puleʻi koe; ʻe fiemālie ai ia kiate koe, pe te ne maʻu lelei koe?” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

9 Nolaila hoi, ke nonoi aku nei oukou i ke Akua, e aloha mai oia ia kakou: No oukou aku ia mea; e maliu mai anei kela ia oukou? Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, “Fakakolekole ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ke ne ʻaloʻofa mai kiate kitautolu: ʻoku mei homou nima ʻae meʻa ni: pea te ne maʻu lelei hamou taha?” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

10 Owai la ka mea o oukou e pani wale i na puka? Aole oukou e kuni make hewa maluna o kuu kuahu. Aole au i oluolu ia oukou, wahi a Iehova o na kaua; Aole hoi e maliu au i ka mohai na ko oukou lima mai.

“He ko hai koā ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu te ne fie tāpuni ha matapā taʻetotongi? Pea naʻa mo e tutu ʻae afi ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga ʻoʻoku ʻoku ʻikai fai taʻetotongi. ʻOku ʻikai te u leleiʻia ʻiate kimoutolu,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “pea ʻe ʻikai te u maʻu ha feilaulau mei homou nima.

11 No ka mea, mai ka hikina o ka la a hiki i ke komohana, E nui auanei kuu inoa iwaena o na lahuikanaka; A ma na wahi a pau loa e kuniia'i ka mea ala no kuu inoa, A me ka mohai maemae: No ka mea, e nui auanei kuu inoa iwaena o na lahuikanaka, Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

Koeʻuhi ʻe lahi ʻa hoku huafa ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi Senitaile, mei he hopo hake ʻae laʻā ʻo aʻu ki heʻene tō hifo; pea ʻe ʻomi ʻae fakanamu kakala ki hoku huafa mei he potu kotoa pē, mo e feilaulau maʻa; koeʻuhi ʻe ongoongo lahi ʻa hoku huafa ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

12 Aka, ua hoino oukou ia i ka oukou olelo ana, Ua haumia ka papaaina o Iehova, A o ka hua maluna, oia o kana ai, he mea hoowahawaha ia.

“Ka kuo mou fakalieliaʻi ia, ʻi hoʻomou pehē, ‘ʻOku taʻemaʻa ʻae keinangaʻanga ʻa Sihova, ʻaia mo hono ngaahi fua, pea ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻa hono meʻakai.’

13 Ke olelo nei oukou, Ka! kai ka luhi! A na oukou ia i hoopailuaia'i, wahi a Iehova o na kaua; No ka mea, ke mohai iho nei oukou i ka mea i haehaeia, A me ka oopa, a me ka maimai, A pela oukou i lawe mai ai i ka mohai. E oluolu anei au i keia mea na ko oukou lima mai? wahi a Iehova.

Naʻa mou pehē foki, ‘Vakai, tā ko e meʻa fakafiu!’ Pea kuo mou kuhu ki ai;” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “pea naʻa mou ʻomi ʻaia naʻe lavea, pea mo e ketu, pea mo e mahaki; naʻe pehē pe ʻa hoʻomou ʻomi ʻae feilaulau: pea ʻe totonu koā ʻa ʻeku maʻu ia mei homou nima?” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova.

14 Aka, auwe ka mea hoopunipuni, Ka mea nana ka hipakane maloko o kana ohana, Aka, ua hoolaa, a ua mohai iho i ka mea haumia: No ka mea, he alii nui hoi wau, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, A he mea weliweli ko'u inoa iwaena o na lahuikanaka.

“Ka ʻe malaʻia kiate ia ʻoku kākā, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi heʻene fanga manu ʻae manu tangata, pea kuo ne fuakava, ka ʻoku ne feilaulau ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakalielia kia Sihova:” he ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Ko au ko e Tuʻi lahi, pea ʻoku fakailifia ʻa hoku huafa ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni.”
