1 Hamuera 4

1 Na puta mai ana te kupu a Hamuera ki a Iharaira katoa. Na ka haere a Iharaira ki te whawhai ki nga Pirihitini, a ka noho a puni ki Epeneetere; a i noho te puni o nga Pirihitini ki Apeke.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻae lea ʻa Samuela ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻonau nofoaki ʻo ofi ki Epenisa: pea naʻe nofoaki ʻae kau Filisitia ʻi ʻEfeki.

2 Na ka whakaritea e nga Pirihitini a ratou ngohi hei whawhai ki a Iharaira: a ka horapa haere te whawhai, na ka patua a Iharaira e nga Pirihitini: e wha mano tangata o te ope i patua ki te parae.

Pea naʻe hiki ʻae tau ʻae kau Filisitia ke tau ki ʻIsileli: pea ʻi he fakahoko ʻae tau, naʻe teʻia leva ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau Filisitia: pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻi he tau ʻi he ngoue ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fā afe nai.

3 A, no te taenga o nga tangata ki te puni, ka mea nga kaumatua o Iharaira, He aha tatou i patua ai e Ihowa inaianei i te aroaro o nga Pirihitini? Me tiki atu ki a tatou te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i Hiro, kia tae mai ki roto i a tatou, hei whaka ora i a tatou i te ringa o o tatou hoariri.

Pea ʻi he hoko mai ʻae kakai ki he ʻapitanga, naʻe pehē ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, “Ko e hā kuo teʻia ai ʻe Sihova kitautolu he ʻaho ni ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau Filisitia? Ke tau ʻomi kiate kitautolu ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova mei Sailo, koeʻuhi, ʻi heʻene hoko kiate kitautolu, ke ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu mei he nima ʻo hotau ngaahi fili.”

4 Heoi ka tonoa e te iwi ki Hiro, a ka mauria mai i reira te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa o nga mano e noho nei i runga i nga kerupima: i reira ano nga tama tokorua a Eri, a Hoponi raua ko Pinehaha, i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa.

Ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe he kakai ki Sailo, koeʻuhi kenau ʻomi mei ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo Selupi: pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae ongo foha ʻo Ilai, ko Hofini mo Finiasi, mo e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻoe ʻOtua.

5 A, i te taenga mai o te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa ki te puni, ka hamama a Iharaira katoa, he nui te hamama, a ngateri ana te whenua.

Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova ki he ʻapitanga, naʻe mavava ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻi he mavava lahi, ko ia naʻe ʻuʻulu ai ʻae fonua.

6 A ka rongo nga Pirihitini i te reo e hamama ana, ka mea ratou, He reo aha tenei e nui nei te hamama i te puni o nga Hiperu? Na ka mohio ratou kua tae mai te aaka a Ihowa ki te puni.

Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai Filisitia ki he longoaʻa ʻoe mavava, naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe fuʻu mavava lahi ni ʻi he ʻapitanga ʻoe kakai Hepelū? Pea naʻa nau ʻilo kuo hoko ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova ki he ʻapitanga.

7 Na ka wehi nga Pirihitini; i mea hoki, Kua tae te Atua ki roto i te puni. Na ka mea ratou, Aue, te mate mo tatou! kahore hoki he mea penei me tenei i mua ake nei.

Pea naʻe manavahē ai ʻae kakai Filisitia, he naʻa nau pehē, Kuo hāʻele mai ʻae ʻOtua ki he ʻapitanga. Pea naʻa nau pehē, Malaʻia kiate kitautolu! He kuo ʻikai ha meʻa pehē talu mei muʻa.

8 Aue, te mate mo tatou! ma wai tatou e whakaora i roto i te ringa o enei atua nui? ko nga atua enei nana nga whakapanga mate katoa i patua ai nga Ihipiana i te koraha.

Malaʻia kiate kitautolu! Ko hai te ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu mei he nima ʻoe ngaahi ʻOtua māfimafi na? Ko e ngaahi ʻOtua eni naʻe taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ʻi he ngaahi meʻa mamahi lahi ʻi he toafa.

9 Kia maia, whakatane i a koutou, e nga Pirihitini, kei whakataurerekatia koutou e nga Hiperu, kei peratia me ratou i whakataurerekatia na e koutou: na, me whakatane koutou, me whawhai.

‌ʻAe kau Filisitia, mou mālohi, ʻo fai ʻo ngalingali tangata, telia naʻa mou hoko ko e kau hopoate ki he kakai Hepelū, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau hopoate kiate kimoutolu: fai ʻo ngali mo e kau tangata ʻo tau.”

10 Na ka whawhai nga Pirihitini, a patua ana a Iharaira, a rere ana ki tona teneti, ki tona teneti: he tino nui rawa te parekua; e toru tekau mano hoki o Iharaira i hinga, he hunga haere raro.

Pea naʻe tau ʻae kau Filisitia, pea naʻe toe teʻia ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻa nau hola ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono fale fehikitaki: pea naʻe mate ai ʻae tokolahi ʻaupito he naʻe tō ai ʻae toko tolu mano ʻoe kau tangata ʻIsileli naʻe ʻalu ʻi lalo.

11 Na riro ana te aaka a te Atua; i mate hoki a Hoponi raua ko Pinehaha, nga tama tokorua a Eri.

Pea naʻe moʻua ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua; pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻae ongo foha ʻo Ilai ko Hofini mo Finiasi.

12 Na ka rere tetahi tangata o Pineamine i te ope, tae tonu atu ki Hiro i taua ra ano, he mea haehae ona kakahu, he oneone hoki i runga i tona matenga.

Pea naʻe lele ʻae tangata Penisimani mei he tau, ʻo hoko ki Sailo ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, kuo mahaehae hono kofu, pea pani kelekele hono ʻulu.

13 A, no tona taenga, na e noho ana a Eri i runga i te nohoanga i te taha o te ara, e tutei atu ana: he pawera hoki no tona ngakau mo te aaka a te Atua. A ka tae taua tangata ki te pa, ka korero, na hamama katoa ana te pa.

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki ai vakai naʻe nofo leʻo pe ʻa Ilai ʻi he nofoʻa ʻi he veʻehala: he naʻe tetetete hono loto telia ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua. Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae tangata ki he kolo, ʻo fakahā ia, naʻe tangi kalanga ʻae kolo kotoa pē.

14 A ka rongo a Eri i te reo e hamama ana, ka mea ia, He reo aha tenei e ngangau nei? Na hohoro tonu taua tangata, a kua tae, kua korero ki a Eri.

Pea ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻe Ilai ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangi, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe maveuveu ni?” Pea naʻe haʻu fakatoʻotoʻo ʻae tangata ʻo tala kia Ilai.

15 Na e iwa tekau ma waru nga tau o Eri; kua maro hoki ona kanohi, te ahei ia te kite.

Pea naʻe hivangofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe valu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Ilai; pea kuo poʻuli hono mata, naʻe ʻikai faʻa mamata.

16 Na ka mea taua tangata ki a Eri, Ko ahau tenei i puta mai i roto i te ope, i rere tonu mai inaianei i te ope. Ka mea tera, I pehea te mea ra, e taku tama?

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tangata kia Ilai, “Ko au ia kuo u haʻu mei he tau, pea u hola mei he tau he ʻaho ni. Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE hoku foha, Ko e hā kuo fai?”

17 Na ka whakaatu a ia i kawea mai nei nga korero, ka mea, I rere a Iharaira i te aroaro o nga Pirihitini, he nui hoki te parekura o te iwi; a ko au tama tokorua, ko Hoponi, raua ko Pinehaha, kua mate; kua riro ano hoki te aaka a te Atua.

Pea talaange ʻe he tangata fekau, “Kuo hola ʻa ʻIsileli mei he ʻao ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea kuo tō ʻae tokolahi ʻi he kakai, pea kuo mate ʻa ho ongo foha ko Hofini mo Finiasi, pea kuo moʻua ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua.”

18 A, no tana whakahuatanga i te aaka a te Atua, hinga ana tera ki muri i runga i te nohoanga, ki te taha o te kuwaha, a whati iho tona kaki, mate ake: he koroheke hoki ia, he taimaha. Na e wha tekau nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira.

Pea ʻi heʻene lea ki he puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe tō fakaholomui ia mei he nofoʻa ʻi he potu ʻoe matapā, pea mafesi ai hono kia, pea pekia ai: he ko e tangata motuʻa ia pea mamafa. Pea naʻe fakamaauʻi ʻe ia ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu.

19 Na e hapu ana tana hunaonga, te wahine a Pinehaha, meake whanau: a, no tona rongonga i te korero o te aaka a te Atua kua riro, o te matenga ano o tona hungawai raua ko tana tahu, ka piko iho ia, ka whanau; i pa whakarere mai hoki te mamae ki a i a.

Pea naʻe feitama hono ʻofefine ʻi he fono, ko e uaifi ʻo Finiasi, kuo kakato hono māhina ke fāʻele: pea ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻae ongoongo kuo moʻua ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, pea kuo pekia ʻa ʻene tamai ʻi he fono, mo hono husepāniti, naʻe punou hifo ʻe ia ia pea langā; he naʻe hoko leva ʻae langā kiate ia.

20 A i a ia e whakahemohemo ana, ka mea nga wahine e tu ana i tona taha, Kaua e wehi; he tane hoki tenei tamaiti au. Heoi kahore ana kupu i whakahoki ai, kihai ano hoki i anga mai tona ngakau.

Pea feʻunga mo ʻene pekia, naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe he kau fefine naʻe tuʻu ofi kiate ia, ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē; he kuo ke fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama. Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne lea, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tokanga ki ai.

21 Na huaina iho e ia te tama ko Ikaporo, i mea, Kua heke te kororia o Iharaira: no te mea kua riro te aaka a te Atua, mo tona hungawai hoki raua ko tana tahu.

Pea naʻa ne ui ʻae tama ko Ikapote, ko e pehē, Kuo mole ʻae nāunau mei ʻIsileli: koeʻuhi kuo moʻua ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, pea koeʻuhi kuo pekia ʻene tamai ʻi he fono mo hono uaifi.

22 I mea ano ia, Kua heke te kororia o Iharaira; kua riro nei hoki te aaka a te Atua.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, Kuo mole ʻae nāunau mei ʻIsileli: he kuo moʻua ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua.
