2 Hamuera 14
1 Na ka kite a Ioapa tama a Teruia e anga ana te ngakau o te kingi ki a Apoharama,
Pea ko eni, naʻe mamata ʻe Soape, ko e tama ʻo Selaia, kuo ngaue ʻae loto ʻoe tuʻi kia ʻApisalomi.
2 Ka tono tangata a Ioapa ki Tekoa ki te tiki i tetahi wahine mohio i reira, a ka mea ki a ia, Me mea koe i a koe he wahine e tangi tupapaku ana, me kakahu he kakahu taua, kaua ano e whakawahi i a koe ki te hinu; engari kia rite ki te wahine kua ta ngi noa ake ki te tupapaku.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fekau ʻa Soape ki Tikoa, ʻo ne ʻomi mei ai ʻae fefine poto, pea ne ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fai ʻe koe ʻo hangē ko ha fefine tangi, pea ke ʻai eni ʻae kofu fakatauangaʻa, pea ʻoua naʻa ke tākai ʻaki koe ha lolo, ka ke hangē ko ha fefine kuo mamahi fuoloa koeʻuhi ko e pekia:
3 A haere ki te kingi, a ko enei nga kupu mau ki a ia. Heoi hoatu ana e Ioapa nga kupu ki tona mangai.
pea ke haʻu ki he tuʻi, pea ke lea pehē ni kiate ia.” Pea ko ia, naʻe ʻai ʻe Soape ʻae ngaahi lea ki hono ngutu.
4 Na korerotia ana e te wahine o Tekoa ki te kingi, me te tapapa ano ki te whenua, me te piko ano. I mea hoki, Whakaorangia, e te kingi.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo lea ʻae fefine mei Tikoa ki he tuʻi, naʻa ne tō hifo ki hono mata ki he kelekele, ʻo ne fai fakaʻapaʻapa, mo ne pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE tuʻi, ke ke tokoni mai.”
5 Na ka mea te kingi ki a ia, He aha tou mate? a ka ki tera, He wahine pouaru nei ahau, kua mate hoki taku tahu.
Pea naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi, “Ko e hā hoʻo mamahi?” Pea naʻa ne pehēange, “Ko e fefine paea moʻoni au, he kuo pekia ʻa hoku husepāniti.
6 Na tokorua nga tama a tau pononga, heoi whawhai ana raua ki a raua i te parae, a kahore he kaiwawao mo raua. Na patua iho tetahi e tetahi, a mate iho.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe hoʻo kaunanga ʻae tama ʻe toko ua, pea naʻa na fekeʻikeʻi ʻi he ngoue, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha tokotaha ke fakamavae ʻakinaua, pea naʻe taaʻi ʻae tokotaha ʻa hono tokoua, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia.
7 Na ka whakatika nga whanaunga katoa ki tau pononga, e mea ana, Homai te kaipatu i tona teina kia whakamatea hei utu mo te matenga o tona teina, i patua nei e ia, a ka huna e matou te tangata mona te kainga. Na ka keto i a ratou taku ngarahu i te toe, a kahore noa iho e mahue he ingoa mo taku tahu, he toenga ranei i te mata o te whenua.
Pea vakai, kuo hiki ʻita mai ʻae kāinga kotoa pē ki hoʻo kaunanga, pea kuo nau pehē, Tuku mai ia ʻaia naʻe teʻia ʻa hono tokoua, koeʻuhi ke mau tāmateʻi ia, koeʻuhi ko e moʻui ʻa hono tokoua ʻaia naʻa ne tāmateʻi; pea neongo ko e tama hoko ia, te mau tāmateʻi ia: pea ka pehē, tā ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae malalaʻi afi ʻoku kei toe kiate au, pea ʻe ʻikai tuku ki hoku husepāniti ha hingoa pe ha toenga [hako ]ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.”
8 Na ka mea te kingi ki te wahine, Haere ki tou whare, a maku nga tikanga mo tau mea.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ki he fefine, “ʻAlu koe ki ho fale, pea te u tokanga ʻo fai ha fekau ki hoʻo meʻa.”
9 Na ka mea taua wahine o Tekoa ki te kingi, Hei runga i ahau te kino, e toku ariki, e te kingi, hei runga ano hoki i te whare o toku papa: kia harakore ia te kingi me tona torona.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he fefine Tikoa ki he tuʻi, “ʻE Tuʻi, ko hoku ʻeiki, ka kuo halaia, pea tuku ia kiate au, pea ki he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai: pea ke taʻehalaia ai ʻae tuʻi, pea mo hono nofoʻanga fakatuʻi.”
10 Na ka mea te kingi, Ki te korero tetahi ki a koe, kawea mai ia ki ahau, a e kore ia e pa ki a koe i muri iho.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Kapau ʻe lea ha tokotaha kiate koe, ʻomi ia kiate au, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne toe ala kiate koe.”
11 Katahi ia ka mea, Kia mahara ra te kingi ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kia kaua te kaitakitaki toto e whakangaro a mua ake, kei huna taku tama. Na ka ki ia, E ora ana a Ihowa e kore tetahi makawe o tau tama e taka ki te whenua.
Pea naʻe toki pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke manatuʻi ʻe he tuʻi kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke ʻoua naʻa ke tuku ʻae kau totongi toto ke toe fai ha maumau, telia naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻa ʻeku tama.” Pea naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, “ʻO hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova, “ʻE ʻikai ha tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo ho tama ʻe tō ki he kelekele.”
12 Na ka mea taua wahine, Tena, kia korerotia e tau pononga tetahi kupu ki toku ariki, ki te kingi. Ano ra ko ia, Korero.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ai ʻe he fefine, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ki hoʻo kaunanga ke ne fai ha lea ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi.” Pea naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, “Ke ke lea pe.”
13 Na ka mea taua wahine, He aha ra koe i he ai ki te iwi a te Atua, i whakaaro ai i tenei mea? i te kingi hoki e korero ana i tenei mea, e rite ana ia ki te tangata kua he, i te kingi e kore nei e whakahoki mai i tana i peia atu ra.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine, “Pea ko e hā ai kuo ke fakakaukau ki ha meʻa pehē ki he kakai ʻae ʻOtua? ʻOku lea ʻaki eni ʻe he tuʻi ʻo hangē ko ha taha ʻoku halaia, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai toe ʻomi ki ʻapi ʻaia kuo ne fakahēʻi.
14 Mo te mate nei hoki tatou, a ka rite ki te wai i maringi ki te whenua, kahore nei e kohikohia ake; na kahore te Atua e tango atu ana i te ora, engari e whakaaro ana i nga whakaaro e kore ai e peia rawatia atu i a ia te mea i peia.
He kuo pau pe ke tau mate, pea tau hangē ko e vai kuo lilingi ki he kelekele, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa tānaki hake; pea ʻoku ʻikai filifilimānako ʻae ʻOtua ki ha tokotaha: ka neongo ia ʻoku ne fakakaukauʻi ʻae meʻa ke ʻoua naʻa kapusi meiate ia ʻaia kuo fakahēʻi.
15 Koia ahau i haere mai ai ki te korero i tenei mea ki te kingi, ki toku ariki, he wehi noku i ta te iwi; koia tau pononga i mea ai, Me korero ahau ki te kingi; tera pea te kingi e mea i ta tana pononga e korero ai.
Pea ko eni foki, kuo u haʻu au ke lea ʻi he meʻa ni ki he tuʻi ko hoku ʻeiki, koeʻuhi kuo fakamanavahēʻi au ʻe he kakai: pea naʻe pehē ʻe hoʻo kaunanga, Ko eni te u lea ki he tuʻi; heiʻilo ʻe fai ʻe he tuʻi ki he kole ʻa ʻene kaunanga.
16 Tera hoki te kingi e rongo, e whakaora i tana pononga i te ringa o te tangata e huna ai maua tahi ko taku tama i to te Atua wahi tupu.
Koeʻuhi ʻe fanongo ʻe he tuʻi, ke ne fakamoʻui ai ʻa ʻene kaunanga mei he nima ʻoe tangata ʻoku fie fakaʻauha fakataha au mo hoku tama mei he tofiʻa ʻoe ʻOtua.
17 Koia tau pononga i mea ai, Akuanei he whakamarie te kupu a toku ariki, a te kingi; e rite ana hoki toku ariki, te kingi ki te anahera a te Atua, hei whakarongo ki te pai, ki te kino; hei hoa ano mou a Ihowa, te Atua.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe hoʻo kaunanga, Ko e lea ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻe hoko ni ko e fakafiemālie: he ko hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻoku hangē ia ko ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ʻi heʻene ʻiloʻi ʻae lelei mo e kovi: ko ia ʻe ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.”
18 Na ka whakahoki te kingi, ka mea ki te wahine, Na, kaua e huna ki ahau te kupu e uia e ahau ki a koe. Na ka mea te wahine, Tena, kia korero toku ariki, te kingi.
Pea naʻe toki pehēange ʻe he tuʻi ki he fefine, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ʻoua naʻa ke fufū meiate au ʻae meʻa ʻaia te u fehuʻi ai ni kiate koe.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine, “Ke lea pe eni ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi.”
19 Na ka mea te kingi, Kahore ianei te ringa o Ioapa i a koe i tenei mea katoa? Ano ra ko te wahine, i mea ia, E ora ana tou wairua, e toku ariki, e te kingi, ina, kahore he tahuritanga mo tetahi ki matau, ki maui, i nga kupu katoa i korero ai toku ariki, te kingi: na tau pononga hoki, na Ioapa, nana ahau i whakahau, nana hoki i homai enei kupu katoa ki te mangai o tau pononga.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻIkai ʻoku kau mo koe ʻae nima ʻo Soape ʻi he meʻa ni kotoa pē?” Pea naʻe lea ʻo pehēange ʻe he fefine, “ʻO hangē ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, ʻe ʻeiki ko e tuʻi: he ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Soape, ko ia ne ne fekauʻi au, mo ne ʻai ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē ki he ngutu ʻo hoʻo kaunanga:
20 He whakaahua ke i te tikanga o tenei korero i mea ai tau pononga, a Ioapa i tenei mea: a he mohio toku ariki, he pera me te mohio o te anahera a te Atua, he mohio ki nga mea katoa o te whenua.
Kuo fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Soape koeʻuhi ke tupu ai ʻae lea pehē ni: pea ʻoku poto ʻa hoku ʻeiki, ʻo tatau mo e poto ʻo ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua, ke ʻilo ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi māmani.”
21 Na ka mea te kingi ki a Ioapa, Na kua meatia nei tenei mea e ahau: tikina, whakahokia mai taua tamaiti, a Apoharama.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Soape, “Vakai mai, kuo u fai ʻae meʻa ni: ko ia ke ke ʻalu ʻo toe ʻomi ʻae tangata talavou ko ʻApisalomi.”
22 Na ka tapapa a Ioapa ki te whenua, ka piko, ka whakapai i te kingi: i mea ano a Ioapa, No tenei ra tau pononga i mohio ai e manakohia ana ahau e koe, e toku ariki, e te kingi, no te kingi hoki ka whakamana i te kupu a tana pononga.
Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻa Soape ki hono mata ki he kelekele, pea naʻa ne punou, ʻo ne fakafetaʻi ki he tuʻi: pea naʻe pehē ʻe Soape, “Kuo ʻilo ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki he ʻaho ni kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, ʻa koe ko hoku ʻeiki, ʻe tuʻi, ko e meʻa ʻi he fai ʻe he tuʻi ki he kole ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.”
23 Heoi whakatika ana a Ioapa, a haere ana ki Kehuru, a kawea ana e ia a Apoharama ki Hiruharama.
Ko ia naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻa Soape ʻo ne ʻalu ki Kesuli, pea ne ʻomi ʻa ʻApisalomi ki Selūsalema.
24 Na ka mea te kingi, Kia tahuri atu ia ki tona whare, kaua hoki ia e kite i toku kanohi. Na tahuri ana a Apoharama ki tona whare, kihai hoki i kite i te kanohi o te kingi.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Tuku ke ne ʻalu ki hono fale ʻoʻona, pea ʻoua siʻi naʻa ne sio mai ki hoku fofonga.” Ko ia naʻe tafoki ai ʻa ʻApisalomi ki hono fale ʻoʻona, pea naʻe ʻikai sio ia ki he fofonga ʻoe tuʻi.
25 Na kahore he rite mo Apoharama, te korerotia tona ataahua i roto i a Iharaira katoa: kahore ona koha i te kapu o tona waewae a tae noa ki tona tumuaki.
Ka naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi ʻIsileli kotoa pē naʻe ongoongolelei ʻene toulekeleka ke hangē ko ʻApisalomi: mei hono ʻaofi vaʻe ʻo aʻu ki he tumuʻaki ʻo hono ʻulu naʻe ʻikai siʻi ha mele ʻiate ia.
26 A ka kutikutia e ia tona matenga; i kutikutia hoki e ia i te takanga o te tau: he taimaha hoki nona koia i kutikutia ai: na ka paunatia e ia nga makawe o tona matenga, e rua rau nga hekere o ta te kingi pauna.
Pea ʻi heʻene kosi hono louʻulu, (he naʻa ne kosi ia ʻi he kuonga niʻihi: he naʻe mamafa ia kiate ia, pea ko ia naʻa ne kosi ai ia: ) naʻa ne fakamamafa ʻae louʻulu ʻo hono ʻulu ko e sikeli ʻe uangeau ʻo fakatatau mo e fakamamafa ʻae tuʻi.
27 A tokotoru nga tama i whanau ma Apoharama, kotahi hoki te kotiro, ko tona ingoa ko Tamara; he wahine kanohi ataahua ano ia.
Pea naʻe fanauʻi kia ʻApisalomi ʻae foha ʻe toko tolu, mo e ʻofefine ʻe tokotaha, ʻaia naʻe hingoa ko Tamaa: ko e fefine ia naʻe mata hoihoifua.
28 Na e rua tino tau i noho ai a Apoharama ki Hiruharama, a kihai i i kitea e ia te kanohi o te kingi.
Ko ia naʻe nofo ai ʻa ʻApisalomi ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu kātoa ʻe ua, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne sio ki he fofonga ʻoe tuʻi.
29 Na ka tono tangata a Apoharama ki a Ioapa, he mea kia tonoa ia ki te kingi; heoi kihai tera i pai ki te haere mai ki a ia. Na ka tono ano ia, otiia kihai tera i pai ki te haere mai.
Pea naʻe fekau ai ʻe ʻApisalomi kia Soape ke ne haʻu ʻo ʻalu ki he tuʻi; ka naʻe ʻikai fie haʻu ia kiate ia: pea ʻi heʻene fekau ʻo liunga ua, naʻe ʻikai te ne haʻu.
30 Na reira ka mea ia ki ana pononga, Nana, tata tonu ki toku to Ioapa wahi whenua, he parei ano tana kei reira; tikina tahuna ki te ahi. Na kua tahuna e nga tangata a Apoharama ki te ahi.
Ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Vakai, ʻoku ofi mai ʻae ngoue ʻa Soape ki hoku potu ʻoʻoku, pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻene paʻale; ʻalu ʻo tutu ia.” Pea naʻe tutu ʻae ngoue ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻApisalomi.
31 Na ka whakatika a Ioapa, a haere ana ki a Apoharama ki te whare, a ka mea ki a ia, He aha i tahuna ai toku wahi e au tangata ki te ahi?
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻa Soape, ʻo ne haʻu ki he fale ʻo ʻApisalomi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā kuo tutu ai ʻe hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻeku ngoue?
32 Na ka mea a Apoharama ki a Ioapa, Nana, i tono tangata ahau ki a koe, i mea, Haere mai ki konei kia tonoa ai koe e ahau ki te kingi hei mea, Mo te aha ahau i haere mai ai i Kehuru? He pai ke moku me i noho tonu ahau ki reira; ko tenei kia kite a hau i te kanohi o te kingi; a ki te mea he kino toku, me whakamate ahau e ia.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻApisalomi kia Soape, “Vakai, naʻaku fekau atu kiate koe, ʻo pehē, Haʻu kiate au, koeʻuhi ke u fekau atu koe ki he tuʻi, ke pehē, ‘Ko e hā kuo u haʻu ai mei Kesuli? ʻE lelei pe ʻo ka ne u kei ʻi ai ni:’ kae tuku eni ke u mamata ki he fofonga ʻoe tuʻi; pea kapau ʻoku ʻiate au ha meʻa hala, tuku ke ne tāmateʻi au.”
33 Heoi haere ana a Ioapa ki te kingi, ki te korero ki a ia. Na ka karangatia a Apoharama e ia, a Haere ana ia ki te kingi. Na piko ana ia ki a ia, ahu ana tona mata ki te whenua i te aroaro o te kingi: a kihia ana a Apoharama e te kingi.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Soape ki he tuʻi, ʻo ne fakahā ki ai: pea hili ʻa ʻene ui kia ʻApisalomi naʻa ne haʻu ki he tuʻi, pea naʻa ne punou hifo ia mo hono mata ki he kelekele ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi: pea naʻe ʻuma ʻe he tuʻi kia ʻApisalomi.
