Raniera 6
1 I pai a Tariuha kia whakaritea etahi ariki kotahi rau e rua tekau mo te kingitanga, hei kawana mo te kingitanga katoa;
Naʻe lelei kia Talaiasi ke fakanofo ʻi he puleʻanga ʻae houʻeiki ʻe toko teau ma toko uofulu, ke māʻolunga ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē;
2 E toru hoki nga rangatira nui mo enei, a ko Raniera tetahi o ratou; ma nga ariki ra nga korero e homai ki enei, kei he nga mea a te kingi.
Pea ke māʻolunga ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau pule ʻe toko tolu; pea ko e ʻuluaki ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Taniela; koeʻuhi ke fakahā ʻe he houʻeiki ʻae ngaahi ngāue kiate kinautolu, pea ke ʻoua naʻa hoko ha kovi ki he tuʻi ʻi ha meʻa.
3 Katahi ka whakanuia tenei Raniera ki runga ake i nga rangatira nui, i nga ariki, no te mea he pai rawa te wairua i roto i a ia, a i whakaaro te kingi kia meinga ia hei rangatira mo te kingitanga katoa.
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ki muʻa ʻae Taniela ni ʻi he kau pule mo e houʻeiki, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻilo ʻae ʻatamai lelei ʻiate ia, pea naʻe fakakaukau ʻae tuʻi ke fakanofo ia ko e pule ki he puleʻanga kotoa pē.
4 Katahi nga rangatira nunui ratou ko nga ariki ka rapu take mo Raniera i roto i nga mea o te kingitanga; heoi kihai i kitea tetahi take, tetahi he; he mahi pono hoki tana, kahore ona kino, ona he.
Pea naʻe toki kumi ʻe he kau pule mo e houʻeiki ke nau ʻilo ha meʻa kia Taniela ʻi he puleʻanga; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ha meʻa pe ha kovi; he naʻa ne angatonu, pea naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo ha kovi pe ha fai hala ʻiate ia.
5 Katahi ka mea aua tangata, E kore e kitea e tatou he take mo tenei Raniera, ki te kahore e kitea he mea mona i roto i te ture a tona Atua.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ni, “ʻE ʻikai te tau ʻilo ha meʻa ʻi he Taniela ni ka ʻi heʻetau maʻu ha meʻa ʻoku kau kiate ia mo e fono ʻa hono ʻOtua.”
6 Katahi enei rangatira nunui ratou ko nga ariki ka huihui ki te kingi; ko ta ratou korero tenei ki a ia, E Kingi Tariuha, kia ora tonu koe.
Pea naʻe toki fakataha ʻae kau pule mo e houʻeiki ko ia ki he tuʻi, pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻE tuʻi ko Talaiasi, ke ke moʻui ʻo taʻengata.
7 Kua korerorero nga rangatira nunui katoa o te kingitanga, nga kawana, nga ariki, nga kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, nga rangatira, kia whakatakotoria he tikanga kingi, kia whakapumautia he ture kaha, ara ki te inoia he mea e tetahi ki tetahi atua, tang ata ranei, a kia toru tekau ra ano nga ra, he mea ehara i te inoi ki a koe, e te kingi, me maka ia ki te ana o nga raiona.
Kuo fealēleaʻaki fakataha ʻae kau pule kotoa pē ʻoe puleʻanga mo e kau pule [ʻoe ngaahi vahe fonua], mo e houʻeiki, mo e kau fakamatala fono, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, ke fokotuʻu ha fono fakapuleʻanga mo fokotuʻu ke maʻu ha tapu, koeʻuhi ko ia kotoa pē ʻe fai ha kole ki ha ʻotua pe ki ha tangata ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolungofulu, ka kiate koe pe, ʻe tuʻi, ke lī ia ki he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione.
8 Na mau e whakapumau te ture, e te kingi, whaitohungia hoki te mea i tuhituhia, kei puta ke, kia rite ai ki te ture a nga Meri, a nga Pahi, e kore nei e puta ke.
Pea ko eni, ʻe tuʻi, ke ke fokotuʻu ʻae fono, mo ke ʻai ho hingoa ki he tohi, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakakeheʻi ia, kae fakatatau ia ki he fono ʻoe kakai Mitia mo Peasia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ke feliliuʻaki.”
9 Mo reira whaitohungia ana e Kingi Tariuha te mea i tuhituhia me te ture.
Ko ia naʻe tohi ai ʻe Talaiasi ki he tohi mo e fono.
10 Na ka mohio a Raniera ka oti taua mea i tuhituhia te whaitohu, haere ana ia ki tona whare; na ko ona matapihi tuwhera tonu ai i roto i tona ruma ki te ritenga atu o Hiruharama; e toru nga tukunga o ona turi i te ra, inoi ana ia, whakawhetai ana ki te aroaro o tona Atua, pera ana me tana i mua.
Pea ʻi he ʻilo ʻe Taniela, kuo tohi ʻae fono, naʻa ne hū ki hono fale, pea ko e ngaahi matapā sioʻata ʻi hono fale mohe naʻe ava ki Selūsalema, pea naʻa ne tōmapeʻe ʻo tūʻulutui ʻo liunga tolu ʻi he ʻaho, pea ne lotu mo fakafetaʻi ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene faʻa fai ʻi muʻa.
11 Katahi ka huihui aua tangata, ka kite i a Raniera e karakia ana, e inoi ana ki te aroaro o tona Atua.
Pea naʻe toki fakataha ʻae kau tangata ni, pea naʻa nau ʻilo ʻa Taniela, ʻoku ne lotu mo fai ʻene hū ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono ʻOtua.
12 Katahi ratou ka whakatata, a ka korero i te ture a te kingi ki te aroaro o te kingi; Kihai ianei i whaitohungia e koe he ture, na, ko nga tangata katoa e inoi ana ki tetahi atua, tangata ranei, i enei rangi e toru tekau, he mea ehara i te inoi k i a koe, e te kingi, ka maka ki te ana raiona? Ka whakahoki te kingi, ka mea, He pono taua mea na, e rite ana ki te ture a nga Meri, a nga Pahi, e kore nei e puta ke.
Pea naʻa nau ʻunuʻunu atu, ʻo lea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ki he fono ʻae tuʻi. “ʻIkai kuo ke tohi ʻae fono, ke ʻilonga ha tangata ʻe fai ha kole ki ha ʻotua pe ha tangata ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolungofulu, ka kiate koe pe, ʻe tuʻi, ʻe lī ia ki he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione?” Pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo ne pehēange, “ʻOku moʻoni ʻae meʻa, ʻo fakatatau ki he fono ʻae kakai Mitia ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fānau pōpula ʻo Siuta, ʻoku ʻikai te ke liliu.
13 Katahi ratou ka whakahoki, ka mea ki te aroaro o te kingi, Ko te Raniera ra, ko tera o nga tama o nga whakarau o Hura, kahore ona mahara ki a koe, e te kingi, ki te ture ano i whaitohungia e koe, heoi e toru ana inoinga i te ra.
Pea naʻa nau lea ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, “Ko e Taniela na ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fānau pōpula ʻo Siuta, ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokanga kiate koe, pe ki he fono ʻaia kuo ke tohi, ka ʻoku ne fai ʻene lotu ʻo liunga tolu ʻi he ʻaho.”
14 A, no te rongonga o te kingi ki enei kupu, katahi ka nui tona kino, a ka anga tona ngakau ki a Raniera kia whakaorangia ia: whai ana ia ki te whakaora i a ia a to noa te ra.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae tuʻi ki he lea ni, naʻa ne mamahi lahi, pea naʻe tokanga lahi hono loto kia Taniela ke fakahaofi ia, pea naʻa ne feinga ʻo aʻu ki he tō hifo ʻae laʻā ke fakahaofi ia.
15 Katahi ka huihui nga tangata nei ki te kingi, a ka mea ki te kingi, Kia mohio koe, e te kingi, ko te ture tenei a nga Meri, a nga Pahi, kia kaua e whakaputaia ketia tetahi ture, tikanga ranei, kua oti te whakapumau e te kingi.
Pea naʻe toki fakataha ʻae kau tangata ni ki he tuʻi, pea nau pehē ki he tuʻi, “Ke ke ʻilo, ʻe tuʻi, ʻoku pehē ʻae fono ʻae kakai Mitia mo Peasia, ke ʻilonga ha fono pe ha tapu ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻe he tuʻi ʻe ʻikai siʻi liliu ia.”
16 Katahi te kingi ka whakahau, a kawea ana mai a Raniera, maka ana ki te ana raiona. I korero ano te kingi, i mea ki a Raniera, Ko tou Atua e mahi tonu na koe ki a ia, mana koe e whakaora.
Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻe he tuʻi, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻa Taniela, pea lī ia ki he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione. Ka naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo ne pehē kia Taniela, “Ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ke faʻa tauhi, te ne fakahaofi koe.”
17 Na ka maua mai he kohatu, ka whakatakotoria ki te kuwaha o te ana; hiritia iho e te kingi ki tana ake hiri, ki te hiri ano a ana ariki; kei puta ke tetahi tikanga mo Raniera.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ha maka, ʻo ʻai ki he ngutu ʻoe ʻana: pea naʻe pulusi ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻaki hono fakaʻilonga ʻoʻona, pea mo e fakaʻilonga ʻo ʻene houʻeiki; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa liliu ʻae meʻa kia Taniela.
18 Katahi te kingi ka haere ki tona whare, a pau noa taua po kihai i kai, kihai ano nga mea whakatangi i kawea mai ki tona aroaro: a turere atu ana tona moe i a ia.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tuʻi ki hono fale, pea ne ʻaukai ʻi he pō ʻo ʻaho, pea naʻe ʻikai ke ʻomi ki hono ʻao ʻae ngaahi meʻa fasi hiva: pea naʻe mahuʻi ʻae mohe meiate ia.
19 Katahi te kingi ka maranga i te atatu tonu, a hohoro tonu te haere ki te ana raiona.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi ʻi he pongipongi ʻo hengihengi ʻaupito, pea ne ʻalu fakavave ki he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione.
20 A, no tona tatanga atu ki te ana, ki a Raniera, ka karanga ia, he reo tangi te reo: i korero te kingi, i mea ki a Raniera, E Raniera, e te pononga a te Atua ora, he kaha ranei tou Atua e mahi tonu na koe ki a ia, ki te whakaora i a koe kei mate i nga raiona?
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he ʻana, naʻa ne kalanga ʻi he leʻo mamahi kia Taniela; pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehē kia Taniela, “ʻE Taniela, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua moʻui, ʻoku mālohi ho ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ke tauhi maʻuaipē, ke fakahaofi koe mei he fanga laione?”
21 Na ka mea a Raniera ki te kingi, E te kingi, kia ora tonu koe.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Taniela ki he tuʻi, ʻE tuʻi, ke ke moʻui ʻo taʻengata.
22 Kua tukua mai e toku Atua tana anahera, a tutakina ana e ia nga mangai o nga raiona, a kihai ratou i pa ki ahau: no te mea kua kitea toku kore hara i tona aroaro; kahore ano aku mahi he i tou aroaro, e te kingi.
Kuo fekau ʻe hoku ʻOtua ʻa ʻene ʻāngelo, pea kuo tāpuni ʻae ngutu ʻoe fanga laione ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakamamahi au: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻilo ʻae lelei ʻiate au ʻi hono ʻao: pea ʻi ho ʻao foki ʻe tuʻi naʻe ʻikai te u fai kovi.”
23 Na nui atu ke koa o te kingi, a whakahaua ana e ia kia tangohia ake a Raniera i roto i te ana. Na kua tangohia ake a Raniera i roto i te ana, kihai rawa ano i kitea tetahi ahatanga ki a ia, no te mea i whakapono ia ki tona Atua.
Ko ia naʻe fiefia lahi ʻaupito ʻae tuʻi koeʻuhi ko ia, pea ne fekau ke nau toʻo hake ʻa Taniela mei he ʻana. Ko ia naʻe toʻo hake ʻa Taniela mei he ʻana, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ha lavea siʻi ʻiate ia, koeʻuhi naʻa ne tui ki hono ʻOtua.
24 Na ka whakahau te kingi, a ka maua aua tangata i whakapae ra ki a Raniera, ka maka ki te ana raiona, ratou, a ratou tamariki, a ratou wahine, riro pu ratou i nga raiona, a wawahia ana e ratou o ratou wheua katoa i te mea kiano i tatu noa ki raro o te ana.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ke nau ʻomi ʻae kau tangata ko ia naʻe talatalaakiʻi ʻa Taniela, pea naʻa nau lī ʻakinautolu ki he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione, ʻakinautolu, mo ʻenau fānau, mo honau ngaahi uaifi; pea naʻe mālohi ʻae fanga laione kiate kinautolu, pea fesiʻi fakaikiiki honau ngaahi hui kotoa pē, ʻi he teʻeki te nau hoko hifo ki he takele ʻoe ʻana.
25 Katahi a Kingi Tariuha ka tuhituhi ki nga tangata katoa, ki nga iwi, ki nga reo, e noho ana i te whenua katoa; Kia whakanuia te rangimarie ki a koutou.
Pea naʻe tohi ʻe he tuʻi ko Talaiasi ki he kakai kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga mo e ngaahi lea, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani fulipē; “Ke tupulekina ʻae melino kiate kimoutolu.
26 Tenei ahau te whakatakoto tikanga nei; na, i nga kawanatanga katoa o toku kingitanga, kia wiri nga tangata, kia wehi ki te aroaro o te Atua o Raniera: ko ia hoki te Atua ora, pumau tonu a ake ake, e kore tona kingitanga e ngaro, tona kawanatanga hoki a te mutunga ra ano:
ʻOku ou fai fono, koeʻuhi ke tetetete mo ilifia ʻae kakai ki he ʻOtua ʻo Taniela, ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻo hoku puleʻanga: “He ko e ʻOtua moʻui ia, pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu, ʻo taʻengata: ko hono puleʻanga ʻe ʻikai ʻauha, pea ko ʻene pule ʻe aʻu atu ki he ngataʻanga.
27 Mana e whakaora, mana e mawhiti ai; e mahia ana hoki e ia he tohu, he mea whakamiharo i te rangi, i te whenua; nana hoki a Raniera i ora ai i te kaha o nga raiona.
ʻOku ne maluʻi mo fakahaofi, pea ʻoku ne fai ʻae ngaahi mana mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi he langi mo māmani, ko ia ia kuo fakahaofi ʻa Taniela mei he mālohi ʻoe fanga laione.”
28 Na ka kake tenei Raniera i te kingitanga o Tariuha, i te kingitanga ano hoki o Hairuha Pahi.
Pea naʻe monūʻia ʻae Taniela ni ʻi he kei pule ʻa Talaiasi, pea mo e pule ʻa Kolesi ko e Peasia.
