Ehekiera 12
1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
Naʻe hoko foki kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
2 E te tama a te tangata, kei te noho koe i waenganui i te whare whakakeke, he kanohi nei o ratou hei titiro, heoi kahore e titiro, he taringa o ratou e rongo ai, heoi kahore e rongo; no te mea he whare whakakeke ratou.
“Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoku ke nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fale angatuʻu ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mata ke sio ka ʻoku ʻikai mamata; ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae telinga ke fanongo, ka ʻoku ʻikai ongoʻi; he ko e fale angatuʻu ʻakinautolu.
3 Mo reira whakapaingia etahi mea mau, e te tama a te tangata, mo te heke, ka heke i te awatea i ta ratou tirohanga; me heke atu i tou wahi ki tetahi atu wahi i ta ratou tirohanga; tera pea ratou e mahara iho, ahakoa he whare whakakeke ratou.
Ko ia, ʻa koe foha ʻoe tangata, teuteu ke fetuku hoʻo ngaahi meʻa, pea fetuku ʻaho pe ʻi honau ʻao; pea te ke fetuku mei hoʻo potu ki ha potu kehe ʻi honau ʻao: heiʻilo te nau fakakaukau, neongo ko e fale angatuʻu ʻakinautolu.
4 Whakaputaina mai ano au mea ki waho i te awatea i ta ratou tirohanga, kia rite ki nga mea a te heke: me haere atu koe i te ahiahi i ta ratou tirohanga, kia rite ki te haerenga o te heke.
Te ke toki ʻomi ʻe koe ʻa hoʻo ngaahi meʻa kei ʻaho ʻi honau ʻao, ko e meʻa ke fetuku: pea ka poʻuli te ke ʻalu atu ʻi honau ʻao ʻo hangē koe ʻalu atu ha taha pōpula.
5 Pokaia e koe te taiepa i ta ratou tirohanga, a maua atu tau kawenga ma reira.
Keli ʻe koe ke ava ʻae ʻā ʻi honau ʻao, pea ke fetuku atu mei ai.
6 I a ratou e titiro ana, amohia e koe i runga i tou pokohiwi, me mau atu i te pouri; ko tou mata hipoki rawa, kei kite koe i te whenua; no te mea kua whakaturia koe e ahau hei tohu ki te whare o Iharaira.
Te ke fua ia ʻi honau ʻao ki ho uma, pea ke fetuku atu ia ʻi he uulikelekele: te ke pūlou ho mata ke ʻoua naʻa ke sio ki he kelekele: he kuo u tuku koe ko e fakaʻilonga ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli.”
7 Na mahia ana e ahau nga mea i whakahaua mai ai ahau; whakaputaina ana e ahau aku mea i te awatea, nga mea a te heke, a i te ahiahi ka pokaia e ahau te taiepa he mea mea na toku ringa; i whakaputaina e ahau i te pouri, amohia ana e ahau i runga i toku pokohiwi i ta ratou tirohanga.
Pea naʻaku fai ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau mai: naʻaku ʻomi kituʻa ʻeku meʻa kei ʻaho, ʻo hangē ha meʻa ki he pōpula, pea ʻi he efiafi naʻaku keli ʻae ʻā ʻo fakaava ʻaki ʻa hoku nima; pea naʻaku fetuku kituaʻā ʻi heʻene kei ʻataʻatā, pea naʻaku fua meʻa ʻi hoku uma ʻi honau ʻao.
8 Na i te ata ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea ia,
Pea pongipongi hake naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
9 E te tama a te tangata, kihai ianei te whare o Iharaira, te whare whakakeke, i mea ki a koe, E aha ana koe?
“Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻikai kuo pehē kiate koe ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻae fale angatuʻu, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku ke fai?’
10 Ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Mo te rangatira i Hiruharama tenei pikaunga, mo te whare katoa o Iharaira e noho nei ratou i reira.
Lea koe kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: ʻOku kau ʻae fua kavenga ni ki he tuʻi ʻi Selūsalema mo e fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu.’
11 Ki atu, hei tohu ahau ki a koutou; ka penei i taku i mea nei, ka peratia ano ki a ratou; ka heke atu ratou, ka riro i te whakarau.
Ke ke pehē, ‘Ko homou fakaʻilonga au: hangē ko ia kuo u fai, ʻe pehē hono fai kiate kinautolu: ʻe fetukutuku mo ʻave ʻakinautolu ki he fakapōpula.
12 Ko te rangatira i roto i a ratou ka amo te pokohiwi i te pouri, ka haere atu; ka pokaia te taiepa hei whakaputanga atu; ko tona mata hipoki rawa, no te mea e kore ia e kite i te whenua ki ona kanohi.
Pea ko ia ʻoku tuʻi ʻiate kinautolu ʻe fua kavenga ia ʻi hono uma ʻi he efiafi poʻuli, pea ʻe ʻalu atu: te nau keli ʻae ʻā ke ava mo fetuku atu ia: ʻe fakapulou ʻe ia hono mata ke ʻoua naʻa sio hono mata ki he kelekele.
13 Ka taupokina ano ia e ahau ki taku kupenga, ka mau i taku rore; ka kawea ano ia e ahau ki Papurona, ki te whenua o nga Karari; otiia e kore ia e kite i reira, ahakoa ka mate ia ki reira.
Te u ʻaʻau foki ʻeau ʻa hoku kupenga kiate ia, pea ʻe moʻua ia ʻi heʻeku tauhele: pea te u ʻomi ia ki Papilone ki he fonua ʻoe kau Kalitia; ka ʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki ai, neongo ʻe mate ia ʻi ai.
14 A ka titaritaria atu e ahau ki nga hau katoa te hunga katoa i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha, hei awhina i a ia, ratou ko ona ropu katoa; ka maunu ano i ahau te hoari hei whai i a ratou.
Pea te u vilingia ki he feituʻu matangi kotoa pē ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻiate ia ko hono tokoni, mo ʻene ngaahi kongakau kotoa pē pea te u toʻo ʻae heletā kiate kinautolu.
15 A ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ina whakamararatia ratou e ahau ki roto ki nga tauiwi, ina titaritaria ki nga whenua.
Pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea fakamovete ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fonua.
16 Ka whakatoea ano ia etahi o ratou e ahau, he hunga torutoru, i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta; kia korero ai ratou i a ratou mea whakarihariha katoa i roto i nga iwi ka haere atu nei ratou ki reira, a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.
Ka te u tuku honau kau tangata niʻihi ke hao mei he heletā mo e honge, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha; koeʻuhi ke nau fakahā ʻenau ngaahi fakalielia ʻi he kau hiteni ʻaia te nau hoko ki ai; pea tenau ʻilo ko Sihova au.
17 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
Naʻe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
18 E te tama a te tangata, e wiri koe ina kai i tau taro, inumia hoki tou wai i runga i te ohooho, i te manukanuka;
“Foha ʻoe tangata, kai hoʻo mā ʻi he manavahē, pea inu hoʻo vai ʻi he tetetete pea mo e vakavakai.
19 Ki atu hoki ki te iwi o te whenua, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa mo nga tangata o Hiruharama, mo te oneone o Iharaira: Ka kainga e ratou ta ratou taro i runga i te manukanuka, ka inumia hoki to ratou wai i runga i te miharo, he mea kia ta koto kau ai tona whenua i ona mea maha, mo te tutu o nga tangata katoa e noho ana i reira.
Pea ke lea ki he kakai ʻoe fonua, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he kakai ʻo Selūsalema pea mo e fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; te nau kai fakatuhotuha ʻenau mā, pea inu ilifia pe ʻenau vai, koeʻuhi ko e ʻauha ʻae mahu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ko e meʻa ʻi he fakamālohi ʻanautolu ʻoku nofo ai.
20 Na, ko nga pa e nohoia ana, ka waiho hei koraha, ka ururuatia ano te whenua; a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.
Pea ʻe fakalala ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻoku kakai pea ʻe ʻauha ʻae fonua; pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
21 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea:
Pea naʻe hoko kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
22 E te tama a te tangata, he aha tena whakatauki a koutou i te whenua o Iharaira, e mea na, Ka roa nei nga ra, kua kore ano he kitenga?
“Foha ʻoe tangata, ko e hā ʻae lea fakatātā ko ia ʻoku mou maʻu ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia ʻoku pehē, ‘ʻOku fakatolonga ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, pea ʻoku ʻikai siʻi ha meʻa hā mai ʻe fakamoʻoni?’
23 Mo reira ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ka mutu i ahau tenei whakatauki, e kore ano e whakataukitia e ratou a muri ake nei i roto i a Iharaira; mea atu ia ki a ratou, Ka tata nga ra, me te meatanga ano o nga kitenga kat oa.
Ko ia te ke tala kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: te u fakangata ʻae lea fakatātā ko ia, pea ʻe ʻikai toe lea fakatātā ʻaki ia ʻi ʻIsileli; ka ke pehē ʻe koe kiate kinautolu, Kuo ofi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho mo e fakamoʻoni ʻoe meʻa hā mai kotoa pē.
24 No te mea i muri nei kahore he kitenga teka, kahore he poropititanga tinihanga i roto i te whare o Iharaira.
He koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai kei ʻi ai ha meʻa hā mai ko e vaʻinga, pe ha fai kikite ko e lapu, ʻi he fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli.
25 Ko Ihowa hoki ahau; ka korero ahau, a ko te kupu e korerotia e ahau, ka oti; e kore e kumea kia roa i muri nei: no te mea i o koutou ra nei, e te whare whakakeke, ka korerotia e ahau, ka mahia ano te kupu, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
He ko Sihova au: Te u lea, pea ko e lea te u lea ʻaki ʻe hoko mo fai; ʻe ʻikai toe fakatuai: he ko e lolotonga ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe fale angatuʻu, te u lea ʻaki ʻae lea, pea fai mo hono fakamoʻoni, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
26 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
Pea naʻe toe hoko kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
27 E te tama a te tangata, nana, e ki ana te whare o Iharaira, Mo nga ra maha te kitenga e kitea nei e ia, ko nga wa i tawhiti rawa tana e poropiti nei.
“Foha ʻoe tangata, vakai ʻoku lea ʻakinautolu ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Ko e meʻa hā mai ʻoku ne mamata ai ko e meʻa ki he ngaahi ʻaho kei tuai, pea ʻoku ne kikite ki he ngaahi kuonga ʻoku kei mamaʻo.
28 Mo reira ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, E kore tetahi o aku kupu e kumea kia roa a muri nei; engari ko te kupu e korerotia e ahau ka oti, e ai ta te ariki, ta Ihowa.
Ko ia ke ke lea kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻE ʻikai toe fakatuotuai haʻaku lea ʻe taha, ka ko e lea ʻaia kuo u lea ʻaki ʻe fai, ʻoku pehē ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
