2 Whakapapa 19
1 Na hoki marie ana a Iehohapata ki tona whare, ki Hiruharama.
Pea naʻe liliu atu ʻa Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻi he fiemālie ki hono fale ki Selūsalema.
2 A ka puta te matakite, a Iehu tama a Hanani, ki te whakatau i a ia, ka mea ki a Kingi Iehohapata, Me awhina ianei e koe te tangata kino, me aroha ki te hunga e kino ana ki a Ihowa? Na he riri tenei mou, he mea no te aroaro o Ihowa.
Pea naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā ʻa Sehu ko e foha ʻo Hanani ko e tangata kikite ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē ki he tuʻi ko Sihosafate, “He ʻoku totonu kiate koe ke tokoni ki he taʻeangafakaʻotua? Pea ke ʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kia Sihova? Ko ia kuo hoko ai ha houhau meia Sihova kiate koe.
3 He ahakoa ra kua kitea etahi mea pai au. I whakakahoretia atu hoki e koe te Aheroto i te whenua; i anga ano tou ngakau ki te rapu i te Atua.
Ka ko e moʻoni ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei siʻi ʻoku ʻilo ʻiate koe, koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi vao tapu mei he fonua, pea kuo ke teuteu ho loto ke kumi kia Sihova.”
4 Na noho ana a Iehohapata ki Hiruharama, a ka haere atu ano ia puta noa i te iwi, i Peerehepa a tae noa ki te whenua pukepuke o Eparima, a whakahokia ana ratou e ia ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o o ratou matua.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa Sihosafate ʻi Selūsalema: pea toe ʻalu atu ia ki he kakai kotoa pē mei Peasipa ʻo aʻu ki he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ʻo ne liliu ʻakinautolu kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
5 I whakaritea ano e ia he kaiwhakawa mo te whenua ki nga pa taiepa katoa o Hura, ki tenei pa, ki tenei pa.
Pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe ia ʻae kau fakamaau ʻi he fonua ʻi he ngaahi kolotau kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻi he kolo taki taha kotoa pē.
6 I mea ano ia ki nga kaiwhakawa, Kia whai mahara ki ta koutou e mea ai; ehara hoki ta koutou whakarite whakawa i te mea ki te tangata, engari ki a Ihowa; kei a koutou ano ia ina whakawa.
Pea naʻa ne pehē ki he kau fakamaau, “Vakai ki he meʻa ʻoku mou fai: he ʻoku ʻikai te mou fakamaau maʻae tangata, ka kia Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he fakamaau.
7 Na kia tau te wehi o Ihowa ki a koutou, kia mau hoki ki te mahi; kahore hoki o to tatou Atua, o Ihowa, whakahaere he, kahore he whakapai i te tangata, kahore he tango utu.
Ko ia tuku ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae manavahē kia Sihova: pea vakai pea fai ia: he ʻoku ʻikai ha angahia ʻia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, pe ha filifilimānako kakai, pe ha maʻu meʻaʻofa.”
8 I whakaritea ano e Iehohapata ki Hiruharama etahi o nga Riwaiti, o nga tohunga, o nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o Iharaira, mo ta Ihowa whakawa, mo nga tautohetohe. A hoki ana ratou ki Hiruharama.
Pea naʻe fakanofo foki ʻe Sihosafate ʻi Selūsalema, ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau Livai, pea mo e kau taulaʻeiki, mo e niʻihi ʻi he tuʻukimuʻa ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke fai ʻae fakamaau ʻa Sihova, pea ki he ngaahi fakakikihi, ʻi heʻenau liu mai ki Selūsalema.
9 I whakahau ano ia i a ratou, i mea, Meatia tenei i runga i te wehi o Ihowa, i te pono, i te ngakau tapatahi.
Pea naʻe fekau pau ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻo pehē, “Ke mou fai pehē pe ʻi he manavahē kia Sihova, ʻo angatonu pea ʻi he loto haohaoa.
10 Ki te tae mai te tautohetohe ki a koutou, he mea na o koutou teina e noho ana i o ratou pa, he toto penei ranei, he toto pera ranei, he ture ranei, he whakaritenga ranei, he whakahau ranei, he tikanga ranei, me whakatupato ratou kia kaua e hara ki a Ihowa, kei takoto he riri mo koutou, mo o koutou tuakana, teina. Meatia tenei, a e kore koutou e whai hara.
Pea ko e meʻa ia kotoa pē ʻe ʻomi kiate kimoutolu ʻi homou ngaahi kāinga ʻoku nofo ʻi honau ngaahi kolo, ʻi he fetāmateʻaki, pe ʻi he fono mo e fekau, mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ke mou valoki ʻakinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fai angahala kia Sihova, ke hoko ai ʻae houhau kiate kimoutolu, pea ki homou kāinga: mou fai ia, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fai hala.
11 Nana, ko Amaria tino tohunga hei upoko mo koutou i nga mea katoa a Ihowa; ko Teparia hoki, tama a Ihimaera, rangatira o te whare o Hura, mo nga mea katoa a te kingi: ko nga Riwaiti ano hei rangatira i to koutou aroaro. Kia maia ki te mahi, a ko Ihowa hei hoa mo te pai.
Pea vakai, ko ʻAmalia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻoku pule ia kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻia Sihova: pea pule ʻa Sepatia ko e foha ʻo ʻIsimeʻeli, ko e pule ʻoe fale ʻo Siuta, ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻae tuʻi: pea ko e kau Livai foki ko e ngaahi matāpule ʻi homou ʻao. [Mou ]fai loto mālohi, pea ʻe kau ʻa Sihova mo e angalelei.”
