1 Whakapapa 17

1 A, i a Rawiri e noho ana i tona whare, ka mea a Rawiri ki a Natana poropiti, Na kei te noho ahau ki te whare hita, ko te aaka ia o te kawenata a Ihowa kei raro i te arai kakahu e noho ana.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, lolotonga ʻae nofo ʻa Tevita ʻi hono fale, naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Natani ko e palōfita, “Vakai, ʻoku ou nofo au ʻi ha fale sita, ka ʻoku nofo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻi he lalo puipui [pe].”

2 Ano ra ko Natana ki a Rawiri, Meatia nga mea katoa i tou ngakau; kei a koe hoki te Atua.

Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Natani kia Tevita, “Ke ke fai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho loto; he ʻoku kau ʻae ʻOtua kiate koe.”

3 Na i taua po ka puta te kupu a te Atua ki a Natana, ka mea,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he pō pe ko ia, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Natani, ʻo pehē,

4 Haere, mea atu ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kaua e hanga e koe he whare hei nohoanga moku:

“ʻAlu, ʻo fakahā kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE ʻikai te ke langa ha fale kiate au ke u nofo ai:

5 Kahore nei hoki ahau i noho i roto i te whare, o te rangi i kawea mai ai e ahau a Iharaira a taea noatia tenei ra; heoi he noho haere toku i tetahi teneti ki tetahi teneti, i tetahi tapenakara ki tetahi tapenakara.

He kuo ʻikai te u nofo ʻi ha fale talu mei he ʻaho naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni; ka kuo u feʻaluʻaki ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki, pea mo e fale fakaʻāunofo.

6 I oku haereerenga katoa i roto i a Iharaira katoa i puaki ranei tetahi kupu aku ki tetahi o nga kaiwhakarite o Iharaira i whakaritea e ahau hei hepara mo taku iwi? i mea ranei ahau, He aha koutou te hanga whare hita ai moku?

‌ʻI he potu kotoa pē kuo u ʻalu ki ai mo ʻIsileli kātoa, kuo u lea fakasiʻisiʻi ki ha tokotaha ʻi he kau fakamaau ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu naʻaku fekauʻi he fafangaʻi ʻa hoku kakai, ʻo pehē, Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou langa moʻoku ha fale sita?’

7 No reira kia penei tau ki atu aianei ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Naku koe i tango i te nohoanga hipi, i te whai hipi, hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira:

Ko ia foki, te ke lea ʻo pehē ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, naʻaku toʻo mai koe mei he nofoʻanga ʻoe fanga sipi, mei he muimui ki he fanga sipi, koeʻuhi ke ke pule ki hoku kakai ʻIsileli:

8 A, i a koe ahau i ou haerenga katoa; hautopea atu ana e ahau ou hoariri katoa i tou aroaro; a meinga ana koe e ahau hei ingoa, hei pera ano me te ingoa o nga mea nunui o te whenua.

Pea kuo u ʻiate koe ʻi he potu fulipē kuo ke ʻalu ki ai, pea kuo u motuhi ʻa ho ngaahi fili kotoa pē mei ho ʻao, pea kuo u ngaohi moʻou ha hingoa ke tatau mo e hingoa ʻoe kakai ongoongo lahi ʻaia ʻoku ʻi māmani.

9 Na maku e whakarite he wahi mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira; ka whakatokia ano ratou e ahau kia noho ki to ratou ake, e kore ano ratou e ngaueue a muri ake nei; e kore ano ratou e pehia ki raro i muri nei e nga tama a te kino; e kore e pera me to mua,

Pea te u vaheʻi foki ha potu mā ʻa hoku kakai ʻIsileli, pea te u tō ʻakinautolu, pea te nau nofo ʻi honau potu, pea ʻe ʻikai toe hiki ʻakinautolu; pea ʻe ʻikai toe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he fānau ʻoe angakovi, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻi he kamataʻanga,

10 Me to te wa ano i whakaritea ai e ahau nga kaiwhakarite mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira; a ka pehia e ahau ki raro ou hoariri katoa. Ko tetahi, e mea atu ana ahau ki a koe, ma Ihowa e hanga he whare mou.

Pea talu mei he kuonga ko ia naʻaku fekauʻi ʻae kau fakamaau ke pule ki hoku kakai ʻIsileli. Ka te u fakamoʻulaloa foki ʻa ho ngaahi fili kotoa pē. Pea ʻoku ou tala foki kiate koe ʻe langa hake ho fale ʻoʻou ʻe Sihova.

11 A ka tutuki ou ra, ka haere koe ki ou matua, na ka whakaarahia e ahau tou uri i muri i a koe i roto i au tama, ka whakapumautia ano e ahau tona kingitanga.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka ʻosi ange ʻa ho ngaahi ʻaho pea ke ʻalu ai ki ho ngaahi tamai, te u fokotuʻu ho hako ʻamui ʻiate koe, ʻakinautolu ʻe tupu mei ho ngaahi foha; pea te u fokotuʻumaʻu ʻa hono puleʻanga.

12 Mana e hanga he whare moku, a ka whakapumautia e ahau tona torona a ake ake.

Te ne langa ʻe ia ha fale moʻoku, pea te u fokotuʻumaʻu ʻa hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi ke taʻengata.

13 Ko ahau hei matua ki a ia, ko ia hei tama ki ahau, e kore ano e mutu toku aroha ki a ia, e kore e pera me toku i mutu ki tera i mua atu na i a koe.

Te u hoko ko ʻene tamai, pea te ne hoko ia ko hoku foha: pea ʻe ʻikai te u ʻave ʻa ʻeku ʻaloʻofa meiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻave ia meiate ia naʻe muʻa ʻiate koe:

14 A ka tuturu ia ki toku whare, ki toku kingitanga a ake ake: a ka mau tonu tona torona mo ake tonu atu.

Ka te u fokotuʻumaʻu ia ʻi hoku fale pea ʻi hoku puleʻanga ʻo taʻengata: pea ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ʻa hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo taʻengata.’”

15 Rite tonu ki enei kupu katoa, ki tenei putanga katoa, nga kupu a Natana ki a Rawiri.

Pea naʻe fai ʻae lea ʻa Natani kia Tevita ʻo tatau mo e ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē, pea tatau mo e meʻa ha mai ni kotoa pē.

16 Na ka haere a Kingi Rawiri, ka noho ki te aroaro o Ihowa; a ka mea ia, Ko wai ahau, e Ihowa, e te Atua, he aha hoki toku whare, i kawea mai ai ahau e koe ki konei?

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ne nofo ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hai au, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, pea ko e hā ʻa hoku fale ʻoʻoku, kuo ke ʻomi ai au ʻo aʻu mai ki heni?

17 He mea iti ano tenei ki tau titiro, e te Atua; kua korerotia nei hoki e koe te whare o tau pononga a tau tini noa atu, a kua titiro mai hoki koe ki ahau, ano ki te tangata nui rawa, e Ihowa, e te Atua.

Ka ko e meʻa siʻi eni ki ho fofonga, ʻe ʻOtua; he kuo ke folofola ki he fale ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki ha kuonga fuoloa ʻaupito ʻe haʻu, pea kuo ke fai kiate au, ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ha tangata ʻoku ʻeiki lahi.

18 Ko te aha ake hei korerotanga ma Rawiri ki a koe mo te whakahonore i tau pononga? e mohio ana hoki koe ki tau pononga.

Ko e hā ha toe lea ʻe faʻa fai ʻe Tevita maʻae ongoongolelei ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki? He ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻe koe ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.

19 He whakaaro ki tau pononga, e Ihowa, rite tonu ano ki ta tou ngakau, i mea ai koe i enei mea nunui katoa, i whakaritea mai ai enei mea nunui katoa.

‌ʻE Sihova, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea ʻo hangē ko ho finangalo pe ʻoʻou, kuo ke fai ʻae meʻa lahi ni kotoa pē, ʻi hoʻo fakahā mai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ni.

20 Kahore he rite mou, e Ihowa, kahore atu hoki he atua, ko koe anake; rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i rongo ai o matou taringa.

‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku tatau mo koe, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻOtua ka ko koe pe, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa homau telinga.

21 Ko tehea iwi hoki o te whenua hei rite mo tau iwi, mo Iharaira, i haere nei te Atua ki te hoki hei iwi mana ake, hei mea ingoa mou, ki nga hanga nunui, whakamataku hoki, i te peinga atu i nga tauiwi i te aroaro o tau iwi i hokona nei e koe i Ihi pa?

Pea kofaʻā ia ha puleʻanga ʻe taha ʻi māmani kuo tatau mo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae ʻOtua ke huhuʻi ko hono kakai ʻoʻona, ke ngaohi koe ko e hingoa lahi mo fakamanavahē ʻia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene kapusi atu ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga mei he ʻao ʻo hoʻo kakai, ʻakinautolu kuo ke huhuʻi mai mei ʻIsipite?

22 Kua meinga nei hoki e koe tau iwi, a Iharaira, hei iwi mau a ake ake: me koe hoki, e Ihowa hei Atua mo ratou.

He naʻa ke ngaohi ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ko ho kakai ʻoʻou ke taʻengata; pea ko koe, ʻE Sihova, naʻa ke hoko ko honau ʻOtua.

23 Na whakamana aianei, e Ihowa, te kupu i korerotia e koe mo tau pononga, mo tona whare hoki ake ake, meatia hoki tau i korero ai.

Ko ia foki, ʻE Sihova, tuku ʻae meʻa kuo ke folofolaʻaki ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hono fale, ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata, pea ke fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.

24 Kia mana ano, kia whakanuia hoki tou ingoa a ake ake, kia korerotia ai, Ko Ihowa o nga mano te Atua o Iharaira, hei Atua ano ki a Iharaira; a ka tuturu tonu te whare o tau pononga, o Rawiri, ki tou aroaro.

‌ʻIo, tuku ke fokotuʻumaʻu ia, koeʻuhi ke fakahikihikiʻi ʻa ho huafa ʻo taʻengata, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi ko e ʻOtua ia ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻio, ko e ʻOtua ki ʻIsileli:’ pea ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi ho ʻao ʻae fale ʻo Tevita ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.

25 Nau nei hoki, e toku Atua, i whakapuaki mai ki tau pononga, ka hanga e koe he whare mona: koia te ngakau o tau pononga i anga ai ki te inoi ki tou aroaro.

He ko koe, ʻE hoku ʻOtua, kuo ke fakahā ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki te ke langa ha fale moʻona: ko ia kuo loto ai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke lotu ʻi ho ʻao.

26 Na ko koe, e Ihowa, te Atua, a kua korerotia e koe tenei mea pai ki tau pononga:

Pea ko eni, ʻE Sihova, ko koe ko e ʻOtua, pea kuo ke talaʻofa ʻaki ʻae lelei ni ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki:

27 A kua pai tenei koe ki te manaaki i te whare o tau pononga, kia pumau tonu ai ki tou aroaro: ko koe hoki hei manaaki, e Ihowa, a ka manaakitia ake ake.

Ko ia foki, ʻofa ke ke tāpuaki ʻae fale ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke ʻi ho ʻao ia maʻuaipē; he ʻoku ke fai hono tāpuakiʻi ʻe koe, ʻE Sihova, pea ʻe monūʻia ia ʻo taʻengata.”
