Raniera 10
1 I te toru o nga tau o Hairuha kingi o Pahia, i whakakitea he mea ki a Raniera, i huaina nei ko Peretehatara; a he tika taua mea, he mea mo tetahi whawhai nui: a i matau ia ki taua mea, i mohio ano hoki ki te tikanga o te kite.
ʻI hono tolu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, naʻe ai ha meʻa naʻe fakahā kia Taniela, ʻaia naʻe hingoa ko Pelitisasa; pea naʻe moʻoni ʻae meʻa, ka naʻe fuoloa ʻae kuonga naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ki ai, pea naʻa ne poto ʻi he meʻa, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻoe meʻa hā mai.
2 I aua ra i te tangi ahau, a Raniera, e toru nga tino wiki.
ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ko au Taniela ne u mamahi ʻi he uike kātoa ʻe tolu.
3 Kihai tetahi kai e minaminatia ana i kainga e ahau, kihai ano te kikokiko, te waina ranei, i tapoko ki toku mangai, a kihai rawa ahau i whakawahi i ahau a taka noa nga tino wiki e toru.
Naʻe ʻikai te u kai ʻae mā melie, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻi hoku ngutu ʻae kanomate pe ha uaine, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi te u takai au, kaeʻoua ke kakato ʻae uike ʻe tolu.
4 Na i te rua tekau ma wha o nga ra o te marama tuatahi, i ahau i te taha o te awa nui, ara o Hirekere,
Pea ʻi hono uofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina, ʻi heʻeku nofo ʻi he veʻe vaitafe lahi, ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Hitikeli;
5 Ka ara ake oku kanohi, a ka titiro, ka kite ahau, na, ko tetahi tangata he kakahu rinena tona, ko tona hope he mea whitiki ki te koura parakore o Upuhata:
Ne u hanga hake ai hoku mata ʻo sio, pea vakai, ko e tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, pea naʻe noʻo hono noʻotanga vala ʻaki ʻae koula lelei ʻo ʻUfasi:
6 Ko tona tinana hoki rite tonu ki te perira, ko tona mata rite tonu ki te ahau o te uira, ko ona kanohi kei nga rama ahi te rite, ko ona ringa, ko ona waewae, rite tonu te kara ki to te parahi kua oti te whakakanapa, a, ko te reo o ana kupu, ano k o te reo o te mano.
Ko hono sino foki naʻe hangē ko e pelili, pea ko hono mata naʻe hangē ko e ʻuhila, pea mo hono ongo mata naʻe hangē ko e ongo maama afi, pea ko hono nima mo hono vaʻe, naʻe ulo ʻo tatau mo e palasa kuo fakangingila, pea ko hono leʻo ʻi heʻene lea, naʻe hangē ko e leʻo ʻoe tokolahi.
7 Na ko ahau anake, ko Raniera, i kite i taua whakakitenga: kihai hoki oku hoa i kite i taua whakakitenga; engari i tau te wiri nui ki a ratou, a rere ana ki te piri.
Pea ko au Taniela ne u mamata tokotaha pe ki he meʻa hā mai: he ko e kau tangata naʻe ʻi ai mo au naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata ki he meʻa hā mai; ka naʻe hoko ʻae manavahē lahi kiate kinautolu, ko ia naʻa nau hola ke fakafufū ʻakinautolu.
8 A mahue iho ko ahau anake. Na ka kite ahau i tenei mea nui; kihai ano hoki i mahue he kaha i roto i ahau: i puta ke hoki toku ataahua, kore iho, kahore hoki he kaha i mau i ahau.
Ko ia naʻe tuku tokotaha pe au, pea ne u mamata ki he meʻa lahi ni naʻe hā mai, pea naʻe ʻikai toe ha mālohi siʻi ʻiate au: he naʻe liliu ʻiate au ʻa ʻeku matamatalelei ʻo fakalielia, pea naʻe ʻikai te u kei maʻu ha mālohi.
9 I rongo ano ia ahau i te reo o ana kupu: a, i toku rongonga i te reo o ana kupu, na ka riro ahau i te moe, au tonu, me toku tapapa ano, toku mata anga tonu ki te whenua.
Ka naʻaku fanongo pe ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene ngaahi lea: pea ʻi heʻeku fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene ngaahi lea, naʻe lolotonga ia ʻae mohe maʻu ʻa hoku mata, ʻo fakafoʻohifo hoku mata ki he kelekele.
10 Na, kua pa he ringa ki ahau, na reira ahau i whakaara ki runga ki oku turi, ki runga hoki i nga kapu o oku ringa.
Pea vakai, naʻe ala mai ha nima kiate au, mo ne fokotuʻu au ki hoku ongo tui mo hoku ʻaofi nima.
11 Na kia mea ia ki ahau, E Raniera, e te tangata e arohaina nuitia ana, kia mohio koe ki nga kupu ka korerotia nei e ahau ki a koe; e tu ki runga; kua unga mai hoki ahau inaianei ki a koe. Na i tana korerotanga i tenei kupu ki ahau, ka tu ahau, me te wiri.
Pea ne pehē mai kiate au, “ʻE Taniela, ko e tangata ʻofeina lahi, ke ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi lea ʻaia ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate koe, pea ke tuʻu tonu: he kuo toki fekau au kiate koe.” Pea hili ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni kiate au, ne u tuʻu tetetete pe.
12 Katahi tera ka ki mai ki ahau, Kaua e wehi, e Raniera, no te mea no te ra tuatahi ano i anga ai tou ngakau ki te matau, ki te whakaiti i a koe ki te aroaro o tou Atua, i rangona ai au kupu; a na au kupu hoki ahau i haere mai ai.
Pea ne toki pehē mai kiate au, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē, Taniela: he kuo talu ʻae ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻaia naʻa ke tukupau ai ho loto ke ʻilo, pea naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻe ongoʻi hoʻo ngaahi lea, pea koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi lea kuo u haʻu au.
13 Otiia i turia mai ahau e te rangatira o te kingitanga, o Pahia, e rua tekau ma tahi nga ra; na, kua tae mai a Mikaera, tetahi o nga tino rangatira, hei awhina moku, a noho ana ahau i reira i nga kingi o Pahia.
Ka naʻe taʻofi au ʻe he ʻEiki ʻoe puleʻanga ʻo Peasia, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻe uofulu ma taha: kae vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻa Maikeli, ko e tokotaha ia ʻoku tuʻu ki muʻa, ke tokoni au; pea ne u nofo ai mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Peasia.
14 Na kua tae mai nei ahau kia matau ai koe ki nga mea e pa ki tou iwi i nga ra whakamutunga: ko te kite hoki mo nga ra maha e takoto ake nei.
Pea ko eni, kuo u haʻu ke fakahā kiate koe, ʻae meʻa e hoko ki hoʻo kakai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamui: he ʻoku kau ʻae meʻa hā mai ki he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.”
15 Na, i tana korerotanga mai i enei kupu ki ahau, ka anga toku mata ki te whenua, kahore hoki aku kupu.
Pea ʻi heʻene lea pehē kiate au, ne u foʻohifo hoku mata ki he kelekele, pea ne u longo pe.
16 Na, kua pa tetahi ki oku ngutu, ko tona ahua kei to nga tama a te tangata: na ka puaki toku mangai, a ka korero ahau, ka mea ki tera i tu ra ki toku aroaro, E toku ariki, na te kite ra, kua tahuri iho oku pouritanga ngakau ki ahau, kahore hoki h e kaha e mau ana ki ahau.
Pea vakai, ko e tokotaha naʻe hangē ko ha taha ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata, naʻe ala mai ki hoku loungutu: pea ne u toki mafaʻa hoku ngutu, ʻo lea, pea ne u pehē kiate ia naʻe tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, ko e meʻa ʻi he meʻa hā mai, kuo toe foki mai ʻeku mamahi kiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u kei maʻu ha mālohi.
17 Ma te aha hoki e ahei ai i te pononga a tenei ariki oku te korero ki tenei ariki oku? ko ahau nei hoki, kore tonu iho he maunga o te kaha i roto i ahau, kihai ano i mahue he manawa i roto i ahau.
He koeʻuhi ʻe faʻa alea fēfē ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻo hoku ʻEiki ni, mo hoku ʻEiki ni? He ko au eni, naʻe fakafokifā ʻoku ʻikai toe ha mālohi ʻiate au, pea kuo ʻosi foki mo ʻeku mānava.”
18 Katahi ka pa ano tetahi ki ahau, ko tona ahua rite tonu ki to te tangata, a whakakahangia ana ahau e ia.
Pea naʻe toe haʻu ha taha ʻo hangē ko ha tangata, ʻo ala mai kiate au, ʻo ne fakamālohi au,
19 I mea ia, Kaua e wehi e te tangata e arohaina nuitia ana; kia mau te rongo ki a koe, kia kaha, ae ra, kia kaha. Na, i tana korerotanga ki ahau, kua kaha ahau. Na ka mea ahau, Ma toku ariki e korero mai; kua oti nei hoki ahau te whakakaha e koe.
Pea ne pehē mai ʻe ia, “ʻE tangata ʻofeina lahi, ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē: fiemālie pe koe, pea ke mālohi, ʻio, ke ke mālohi.” Pea ʻi heʻene lea kiate au ne u mālohi, pea ne u pehē, “Ke lea pe ʻa hoku ʻEiki, he kuo ke fakamālohi au.”
20 Katahi tera ka ki mai, E mohio ana ranei koe ki te mea i haere mai ai ahau ki a koe? na akuanei ahau hoki ai ki te whawhai ki te rangatira o Pahia. Ka puta atu ahau, na ka haere mai te rangatira o Kariki.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ʻeku haʻu kiate koe; pea ko eni, te u foki atu ke tau mo e tuʻi ʻo Peasia: pea ʻi heʻeku ʻalu atu, vakai ʻe haʻu ʻae ʻeiki ʻo Kalisi.
21 Me whakaatu ano ia e ahau ki a koe te mea i tuhituhia ki te karaipiture pono: kahore hoki tetahi e whakakaha ana i a ia ano hei hoa moku ki enei mea, ko to koutou rangatira anake, ko Mikaera.
Ka te u fakahā kiate koe ʻaia ʻoku tohi ʻi he tohi tapu moʻoni: pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha niʻihi ʻoku kau mo au ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni, ka ko Maikeli ko hoʻomou ʻeiki.”
