Ehekiera 11

1 I hapainga ake ano ahau e te wairua, a kawea ana e ia ki te keti ki te rawhiti o te whare o Ihowa, ki tera e anga ra ki te rawhiti. Na i te kuwaha o te keti e rua tekau ma rima nga tangata; a i kite ahau i roto i a ratou i a Iaatania tama a Aturu raua ko Peratia tama a Penaia, he rangatira no te iwi.

Ko eni foki naʻe hiki hake au ʻe he laumālie ʻo ne ʻomi au ki he matapā fakahahake ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki he feituʻu hahake: pea vakai, naʻe ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko uofulu ma toko nima; pea naʻaku mamata ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa Sesania ko e foha ʻo ʻAsuli mo Peletaia ko e foha ʻo Penaia ko e houʻeiki ʻoe kakai.

2 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ko nga tangata enei e whakaaro ana i te kino, e whakatakoto ana i te tikanga he i roto i tenei pa:

Pea ne toki pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ko e kau tangata ʻena ʻoku fakatupu ʻae kovi, ʻonau fakakaukau kovi ʻi he kolo ni:

3 E ki ana, kahore ano i tata te wa e hanga whare ai: ko tenei pa te kohua, ko tatou te kikokiko.

‌ʻO nau pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ofi ha meʻa ka tau langa fale ʻakitautolu: ko e kulo ʻae kolo ni ka ko e kakano ʻakitautolu.

4 Mo reira poropititia te he mo ratou; poropititia, e te tama a te tangata.

“Ko ia ke ke kikite kiate kinautolu, kikite, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata.”

5 Na ka tau te wairua o Ihowa ki ahau, a ka mea ki ahau, Ki atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko ta koutou korero tenei, e te whare o Iharaira: na, ko na mea e puta ake ana i o koutou wairua, mohio tonu ahau.

Pea naʻe hoko mai kiate au ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova ʻo ne pehē kiate au, “Lea, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; Ko eni, kuo mou lea pehē ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli: he ʻoku ou ʻilo kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hū mai ki homou loto.

6 Kua whakatokomahatia e koutou a koutou tupapaku ki tenei pa, kua whakakiia ano e koutou ona huarahi ki te tupapaku.

Kuo mou fakatokolahi hoʻomou mate tāmateʻi ʻi he kolo ni pea kuo mou fakafonu ʻaki ʻae mate tāmateʻi ʻa hono ngaahi hala.

7 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ko a koutou tupapaku kua hinga nei i a koutou ki waenganui o tenei pa, ko ratou te kikokiko, ko tenei pa te kohua: ko koutou ia ka whakaputaina atu i waenganui o konei.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Ko hoʻomou mate ʻaia kuo mou fokotuʻu ʻi loto ʻi ai, ko e kakano ʻakinautolu, pea ko e kolo ni ko e kulo ia: ka te u ʻomi kituʻa ʻakimoutolu mei ai.

8 I wehi koutou i te hoari; ka kawea mai ano e ahau te hoari ki a koutou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

Kuo mou manavahē ki he heletā; pea te u ʻomi ʻae heletā kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

9 Ka whakaputaina atu ano koutou e ahau i waenganui o konei, ka hoatu ki te ringa o te tangata ke, ka mahia ano e ahau he whakawa i waenganui i a koutou.

Pea te u ʻomi kituʻa ʻakimoutolu mei he lotolotonga ʻo ia, mo tukuange ʻakimoutolu ki he nima ʻoe kau muli, pea te u fai ʻae fakamalaʻia kiate kimoutolu.

10 Ka hinga koutou i te hoari; ka whakawakia koutou e ahau ki te rohe o Iharaira, a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa, ahau.

Pea ʻe tulaki hifo ʻakimoutolu ʻi he heletā; te u fakamaau ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli; pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.

11 E kore tenei pa e waiho hei kohua mo koutou, e kore ano hoki koutou e waiho hei kikokiko mo roto; ka whakawakia koutou e ahau ki te rohe o Iharaira;

‌ʻE ʻikai hoko eni ko hoʻomou kulo, pea ʻe ʻikai hoko ʻakimoutolu ko e kakano ʻi loto ʻi ai; ka te u fakamaau ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli:

12 A ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau; kihai hoki koutou i haere i runga i aku tikanga, a kihai i mahia e koutou aku whakaritenga, engari i rite tonu a koutou mahi ki nga ritenga a nga iwi i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha o koutou.

Pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au: he kuo ʻikai te mou ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻeku fekau, pe fai ki heʻeku fakamaau, ka kuo mou fai ki he anga ʻae hiteni ʻoku nofo tākai ʻiate kimoutolu.”

13 Na i ahau e poropiti ana, ka mate a Peratia tama a Penaia. Katahi ahau ka tapapa ki raro, he nui toku reo ki te karanga, i mea ahau, Aue, e te Ariki, e Ihowa! ka poto rawa ranei i a koe nga morehu o Iharaira?

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻeku kikite, naʻe mate ʻa Peletaia ko e foha ʻo Penaia. Pea naʻaku tō hifo ai ki hoku mata ʻo tangi ʻi he leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOiauē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua! Te ke fakaʻosi ke ʻosi ʻaupito ʻae toenga ʻo ʻIsileli?”

14 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea ia,

Naʻe toe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

15 E te tama a te tangata, ko ou tuakana, ko ou teina, ko ou whanaunga, ko te whare katoa ano o Iharaira, rupeke, rupeke, ko ratou enei, kua ki mai nei nga tangata o Hiruharama ki a ratou, kia matara atu i a Ihowa; kua homai tenei whenua ki a matou hei kainga tupu:

“Foha ʻoe tangata, ko ho kāinga, ʻio, ho kāinga ʻoʻou, ʻae kau tangata ʻo ho faʻahinga, pea mo e fale kātoa kotoa ʻa ʻIsileli, ko kinautolu ia kuo pehē ki ai ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema, ‘ʻAlu ke mamaʻo ʻakimoutolu meia Sihova: he ko kimoutolu kuo foaki ki ai ʻae fonua ni ko e tofiʻa.’

16 Mo reira me ki atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ahakoa i maka atu ratou e ahau ki tawhiti, ki roto ki nga iwi, ahakoa i whakamararatia ratou e ahau ki nga whenua, ka ai ano ia ahau hei wahi tapu mo ratou i nga whenua e tae ai ratou mo te wa nohinohi nei.

Ko ia ke ke lea, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; neongo ʻeku liʻaki ke mamaʻo ʻakinautolu ki he hiteni, pea neongo ʻeku fakahē ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fonua, ka te u hangē ko e siʻi hūfanga kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fonua ʻaia te nau hoko ki ai.

17 Mo reira me ki atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ka kohikohia koutou e ahau i roto i nga iwi, ka huihuia ano i nga whenua i whakamararatia ai koutou, ka hoatu ano e ahau te oneone o Iharaira ki a koutou.

Ko ia ke ke pehē, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Te u tānaki moʻoni ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai pea fakataha mai kimoutolu mei he ngaahi fonua ʻaia kuo fakahēʻi ʻakimoutolu ki ai, pea te u foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fonua ʻo ʻIsileli.

18 Ka tae ano ratou ki reira, ka whakakahoretia ano e ratou nga mea whakarihariha katoa o reira, me nga mea anuanu o reira.

Pea te nau hoko mai ki heni, pea te nau fetuku mei heni ʻa hono ngaahi meʻa kovi mo hono ngaahi fakalielia.

19 Ka hoatu ano e ahau he ngakau kotahi ki a ratou, ka hoatu ano he wairua hou ki a koutou; ka tangohia ano e ahau te ngakau kohatu i o ratou kikokiko, a ka hoatu he ngakau kikokiko ki a ratou:

Pea te u foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae loto pe taha, pea te u ʻai ha laumālie foʻou kiate kimoutolu; pea te u toʻo atu ʻae loto maka mei honau kakano, pea te u foaki ʻae loto kakanoʻia kiate kinautolu:

20 Kia haere ai ratou i runga i aku tikanga, kia puritia ai aku whakaritenga, mahia iho: a waiho tonu iho ratou hei iwi maku, ko ahau ano hei Atua mo ratou.

Koeʻuhi ke nau faʻa ʻeveʻeva ai ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea tauhi ʻa ʻeku tuʻutuʻuni mo fai ki ai: pea ʻe hoko ko hoku kakai ʻakinautolu, pea ko honau ʻOtua au.

21 Ko te hunga ia kei te whai nei o ratou ngakau i te ngakau o a ratou mea whakarihariha, o a ratou mea anuanu, ka utua e ahau o ratou ara ki runga ki o ratou mahunga, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

Ka koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku muimui honau loto ki he loto ʻo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakaliliʻa mo ʻenau fakalielia, te u totongi ʻenau anga ki honau tumuʻaki, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”

22 Katahi ka ara nga parirau o nga kerupima, a ko nga wira i to ratou taha; i runga ano hoki te kororia o te Atua o Iharaira i a ratou, i te taha ki runga.

Pea hili ia naʻe hiki ki ʻolunga ʻe he selupimi ʻa honau kapakau pea mo e ngaahi teka naʻe ofi ai; pea naʻe feangai hifo mei ʻolunga ʻiate kinautolu ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

23 Na ka kake te kororia o Ihowa i roto i te pa, tu rawa ki runga ki te maunga ki te taha ki te rawhiti o te pa.

Pea naʻe mahuʻi ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova mei he loto kolo, pea tuʻu mei he moʻunga ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu hahake ʻoe kolo.

24 Muri iho ka hapainga ahau e te wairua, he mea i roto i te whakakitenga, na te wairua o te Atua, ki Karari, ki nga whakarau. Heoi ka kake atu i ahau te kitenga i kitea e ahau.

Pea hili ia naʻe toʻo hake au ʻe he laumālie, pea ʻomi au ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa hā mai ki Kalitia kiate kinautolu ʻoe pōpula. Pea naʻe pehē ʻae mahuʻi ʻiate au ʻae meʻa hā mai ʻaia naʻaku mamata ki ai.

25 Na korerotia ana e ahau ki nga whakarau nga mea katoa i whakakitea ki ahau e Ihowa.

Pea naʻaku toki fakamatala kiate kinautolu ʻoe pōpula ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fakahā ʻe Sihova kiate au.
