Ehekiera 17
1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
2 E te tama a te tangata, whakaaria atu he paki, korerotia atu he kupu whakarite ki te whare o Iharaira;
“Foha ʻoe tangata, fai atu ʻae lea fakapulipuli, pea ke lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli;
3 Mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; He ekara nui, he nui nga parirau, he roroa nga hou, kapi tonu i te huruhuru, he mea kotingotingo, i haere mai ia ki Repanona, tangohia ana e ia te kauru rawa o te hita.
Pea ke lea, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua; naʻe haʻu ki Lepanoni ʻae fuʻu ʻikale lahi, naʻe kapakau lalahi mo lōloa, pea fonu ʻi he fulufulu pule ʻingoʻingo kehekehe, pea naʻa ne heka ki he vaʻa sita naʻe taupotu ki ʻolunga.
4 Katohia ana e ia te pito o ona manga ngawari, kawea ana ki te whenua hokohoko, waiho iho e ia i te pa o nga kaihokohoko.
Naʻa ne fesiʻi ʻae lito ʻo hono ngaahi vaʻa toki tupu, ʻo ne ʻave ia ki he fonua faʻa fakatau; naʻa ne tuku ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kolo ʻae kau fakatau.
5 I tikina ano e ia etahi o nga purapura o te whenua, whakatokia iho e ia ki te mara hua, kawea ana e ia ki te taha o nga wai maha, whakatokia ana ano he wirou.
Naʻa ne ʻave foki ʻae tenga mei he fonua ʻo tō ia ʻi he potu kelekele moʻui; naʻa ne ʻai ia ki he veʻe vai lahi, ʻo ne tō ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau ko e uilou.
6 A ka tupu taua mea, he waina papaku e torotoro ana, ko ona manga i anga atu ki a ia, a ko ona pakiaka i raro i a ia: na ka whakawaina, ka tupu ona manga, a ka totoro ona peka.
Pea naʻe tupu ia ʻo hoko ko e vaine pukupuku ka naʻe holoholofa ʻi lalo, pea hanga hono ngaahi vaʻa kiate ia, pea ʻalu ʻi lalo ʻiate ia hono ngaahi aka: ko ia naʻe hoko ai ia ko e vaine, pea naʻe tupu hono ngaahi vaʻa, pea tupu mai hono moto.
7 Na tera ano tetahi atu ekara nui, he nunui nga parirau, a he maha nga huruhuru: na i piko atu nga pakiaka o te waina nei ki a ia, i toro atu ona manga ki a ia i nga wahi i whakatokia ai, kia whakamakukutia ai e ia.
Naʻe ʻi ai foki ʻae ʻikale lahi ʻe taha, naʻe kapakau lalahi, pea lahi mo hono fulufulu: pea vakai naʻe mapeʻe atu ʻae aka ʻoe vaine ko eni kiate ia, pea tupu hono ngaahi vaʻa ʻo hanga kiate ia, koeʻuhi ke ne fakaviviku ia mei he tafeʻanga vai ʻi hono ngoueʻanga.
8 He mea whakato ia ki te mara pai ki te taha o nga wai maha, kia tupu ai he manga, kia hua ai he hua, kia tino pai ai taua waina.
Naʻe tō ia ki he kelekele lelei ʻi he veʻe vai lahi, koeʻuhi kae tupu ai hono ngaahi vaʻa, pea tupu mo hono fua, pea hoko ia ko e vaine lelei.
9 Mea atu koe, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, E tupu ranei? e kore ianei e hutia atu e ia ona pakiaka? e kore ianei e tapahia ona hua, e maroke ai, e maroke ano ai ona rau katoa e pihi ana; ahakoa kahore e nui te ringa, e nui ranei te iwi he i huaranga?
Ka ke lea ʻe koe, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; He ʻe tupu lelei ia? ʻIkai ʻe taʻaki hake ʻe ia hono aka, mo ne motumotuhi hono fua koeʻuhi ke mae ai ia? ʻE mae kotoa pē ʻae tupu ʻo hono lau, ka ʻe ʻikai ha fai fakamālohi ki ai, pe tokolahi ha kakai ki hono taʻaki hake ʻa hono ngaahi aka.
10 Ae ra, na, i te mea kua whakatokia, e tupu ranei? e kore ianei e maroke rawa ina pa te hau marangai ki a ia? ka maroke ano i te tupuranga i pihi ai.
ʻIo, vakai, kuo tō, ka te ne tupu? ʻE ʻikai, ʻe mātuʻaki mae ʻoka maʻili ki ai ʻae matangi hahake. ʻE mae ia ʻi he ngaahi luo ʻaia naʻe tupu hake ai.
11 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
Naʻe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
12 Tena, mea atu ki te whare whakakeke, Kahore ranei koutou e mohio ki te tikanga o enei mea? mea atu, Nana, i tae mai te kingi o Papurona ki Hiruharama, a tangohia ana e ia to reira kingi, o reira rangatira, kawea ana ki Papurona;
Ko eni, tala ki he fale angatuʻu, ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni? Fakahā kiate kinautolu, Vakai kuo haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Selūsalema pea kuo ne ʻave hono tuʻi mo hono houʻeiki, mo ne tataki ʻakinautolu ki Papilone mo ia;
13 Na i mau ia ki te uri kingi, whakaritea ana he kawenata ki a ia; i whakaoatitia ano ia e ia, a mauria atu ana ano e ia te hunga nunui o te whenua;
Pea kuo ne ʻave ʻae hako ʻoe tuʻi, pea kuo na fefuakavaʻaki mo ia; pea kuo ne ʻave foki mo kinautolu ʻoku mālohi ʻi he fonua.
14 Kia tutua ai tona kingitanga, kia kaua ai e ara ake ki runga, engari he turanga mona ko te pupuri i tana kawenata.
Koeʻuhi ke holoki ki lalo ʻae puleʻanga, pea ke ʻoua naʻa hakeakiʻi ia ʻiate ia pe, ka koeʻuhi ke fokotuʻu ia ʻi he fai ʻa ʻene fuakava ʻaʻana.
15 Heoi whakakeke ana ia ki a ia, unga ana e ia ana karere ki Ihipa kia homai etahi hoiho ki a ia, me etahi tangata, he tini. E tika ranei tana? e mawhiti ranei te kaimahi o enei mea? e whakataka ranei e ia te kawenata, a mawhiti ake?
Ka naʻe angatuʻu ia kiate ia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻave ʻae kau talafekau ki ʻIsipite, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻomi mei ai ʻae fanga hoosi mo e kakai tokolahi. ʻE monūʻia ia? ʻE hao ia ʻaia ʻoku fai ʻae meʻa pehē? Pe te ne maumau ʻae fuakava pea hao?
16 E ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, ina, i te wahi ano o te kingi nana nei ia i whakakingi, nana nei te oati i whakahaweatia e ia, nana nei te kawenata i whakataka e ia, i tona taha ano i waenganui o Papurona ka mate ia.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, ʻi he potu ʻoku nofo ai ʻae tuʻi ko ia ʻaia naʻe fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi, ka naʻa ne manukiʻi ʻena tuki, mo maumauʻi ʻena fuakava, ʻio, ʻe mate ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo Papilone mo ia.
17 Na e kore a Parao me tana ope nui, me tona huihui nui, e whai wahi ki a ia i te whawhai, ina whakahauputia ake e ratou he pukepuke, hanga ranei he taumaihi, e hatepea atu ai nga tangata tokomaha.
Pea ʻikai kau mo ia ʻi he tau ʻa Felo mo ʻene kautau mālohi, pe ha tokolahi, ʻi he tanu puke mo e langa kolo, ke tāmateʻi ha tokolahi;
18 Kua whakahaweatia hoki e ia te oati, i tana whakatakanga i te kawenata; nana, kua hoatu e ia tona ringa, otiia kua mahia e ia enei mea katoa; e kore ia e mawhiti.
Koeʻuhi naʻa ne manuki ʻae tuki ʻi heʻene maumauʻi ʻae fuakava, kae vakai, naʻa na fepukeaki nima, pea kuo ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne hao.”
19 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; E ora ana ahau, ina ka utua e ahau ki runga ki tona matenga taku oati i whakahaweatia e ia, me taku kawenata i whakataka e ia.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, ko ʻeku tuki, ʻaia kuo ne manuki ki ai, pea ko ʻeku fuakava kuo ne maumauʻi, te u totongi ia kiate ia ʻi hono tumuʻaki.
20 Ka horahia ano e ahau taku kupenga ki runga ki a ia, a ka mau ia i taku rore, ka kawea ano ia e ahau ki Papurona, ka whakawakia e ahau ki reira mo tona he i he ai ia ki ahau.
Pea te u lafo hoku kupenga kiate ia, pea ʻe moʻua ia ʻi heʻeku tauhele, pea te u ʻomi ia ki Papilone, pea te ma fai ia mo ia ʻi heʻene hia kuo ne fai kovi ai kiate au.
21 Na, ko ona whati katoa, i roto i ona ropu katoa, ka hinga i te hoari, ka whakamararatia atu hoki nga morehu ki nga hau katoa; a ka mohio koutou naku, na Ihowa, te kupu.
Pea ko e kau hola kotoa pē mei ai mo hono matatau kotoa pē, ʻe teʻia ʻaki ʻae heletā, pea ko hono toe ʻe vilingia atu ki he feituʻu matangi kotoa pē: pea te mou ʻilo ko au, ko Sihova, kuo folofola ki ai.”
22 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ka tangohia ano e ahau tetahi wahi o te kauru o te hita tiketike, a ka whakatupuria; ka katohia mai e ahau tetahi mea ngawari i te matamata o ona rara hou, a ka whakatokia ki runga ki te maunga tiketike e pu rero ana ki runga.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Te u toʻo foki ʻae vaʻa ʻoku taupotu ki ʻolunga ʻi he sita māʻolunga, pea te u tō ia; te u fesiʻi mei ʻolunga, mei hono vaʻa toki tupu, ʻae vaʻa ʻoku kei vaivai, pea ʻe tō ia ʻi he moʻunga māʻolunga mo ongoongo:
23 Ka whakatokia e ahau ki te maunga tiketike o Iharaira: a ka wana ona manga, ka hua nga hua, a ko te putanga, he hita pai; ka noho hoki nga manu katoa, ia parirau, ia parirau, ki raro i a ia; ka noho ratou ki te taumarumarunga iho o ona manga.
Te u tō ia ʻi he moʻunga māʻolunga ʻo ʻIsileli: pea ʻe tupu hono ngaahi vaʻa, pea ʻe fua ia, pea hoko ko e sita lelei: pea ʻe nofo ʻi lalo ʻi ai ʻae manupuna ʻi he faʻahinga kehekehe kotoa pē: ʻe nofo ʻakinautolu ʻi he malumalu ʻo hono ngaahi vaʻa.
24 A ka mohio nga rakau katoa o te parae, naku, na Ihowa, i whakaiti te rakau tiketike, naku i tiketike ai te rakau papaku; naku i whakamareke te rakau kaiota, naku hoki i tupu ai te rakau maroke: naku, na Ihowa, te kupu, naku ano i mahi.
Pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe vao, ko au ko Sihova, kuo u tulaki ki lalo ʻae ʻakau māʻolunga, pea kuo u fokotuʻu ki ʻolunga ʻae ʻakau māʻulalo, kuo u fakamae ʻae ʻakau naʻe maʻuiʻui, pea u ngaohi ke tupu lelei ʻae ʻakau naʻe mōmoa; ko au, ko Sihova kuo folofola, pea ko au kuo fai ki ai.”
