Ehekiera 23

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

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

2 E te tama a te tangata, tokorua nga wahine i mua, he tamahine na te whaea kotahi.

“Foha ʻoe tangata, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fefine ʻe toko ua ko e fānau ʻae faʻē pe taha:

3 Heoi moepuku ana ki Ihipa; moepuku ana i to raua tamarikitanga: i romia o raua u ki reira, i mirimiria ki reira nga matamata o to raua wahinetanga.

Pea naʻa na fai angahala ʻi ʻIsipite; naʻa na fai angahala ʻi heʻena kei siʻi: pea naʻe fakangalemu ʻi ai honau huhu; pea fakavolu ʻi ai ʻae mataʻi huhu ʻo ʻenau kei tāupoʻou.

4 Na, ko o raua ingoa, ko Ohora to te tuakana, ko Ohoripa to te teina: a i riro raua i ahau, i whanau hoki he tama, he tamahine ma raua. Na, mo o raua ingoa, ko Hamaria a Ohora, ko Hiruharama a Ohoripa.

Pea ko hona hingoa ko ʻAhola ko e taʻokete, pea mo ʻAholipa ko e tehina: pea naʻe ʻaʻaku ʻakinaua, pea naʻa na fanauʻi ʻae fānau tangata mo e fānau fefine. Pea ko hono ʻuhinga ʻo hona hingoa, ko ʻAhola ko Samēlia ia, pea ko ʻAholipa ko Selūsalema ia.

5 Na, kua kairau a Ohora i te mea i ahau ano ia, minamina atu ana ki ana i aroha ai, ki ona hoa tata, ki nga Ahiriana,

Pea naʻe fai angahala ʻa ʻAhola lolotonga naʻe ʻaʻaku pe ia; pea naʻa ne ʻofa nanivi ki heʻene kau mamana ko hono kaunga nofoʻanga ko e kau ʻAsilia,

6 He puru nei o ratou kakahu, he ariki, he kawana, he taitamariki, e minaminatia ratou katoa, he tangata hoiho, e eke ana ki te hoiho.

‌ʻAkinautolu naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae kofu paʻuhiʻuhi, ʻae kau ʻeikitau mo e kau pule, ko e kau toulekeleka mo talavou ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ko e kau heka hoosi ʻoku faʻa heka ai.

7 Heoi kei te mahi kairau ia ki a ratou, ki nga tangata papai rawa o nga tama o Ahiria, ki a ratou katoa; a ahakoa ko wai i minaminatia e ia, whakapoke ana ia i a ia ano ki a ratou whakapakoko katoa.

Naʻe pehē ʻene fai angahala mo kinautolu, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ko e kau ongoongo ʻo ʻAsilia, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻofa nanivi ki ai: naʻa ne fakalielia ia mo honau ngaahi tamapua kotoa pē.

8 Kihai ano i mahue i a ia ana moepuku mai o nga ra o Ihipa; i takoto hoki ratou ki a ia i tona tamarikitanga, a mirimiria ana e ratou nga matamata o tona wahinetanga, ringihia ana e ratou a ratou moepuku ki runga ki a ia.

Pea naʻe ʻikai ke tuku ʻe ia ʻae fai angahala mei ʻIsipite: he naʻa nau takoto mo ia ʻi heʻene kei siʻi, naʻa nau fāʻufua ʻae huhu ʻo ʻene kei tāupoʻou, ʻonau lilingi kiate ia ʻenau feʻauaki.

9 Na reira ia i tukua ai e ahau ki te ringa o te hunga i arohaina e ia, ki te ringa o nga tamariki o Ahiria, o ana i minamina ai.

Ko ia kuo u tuku ai ia ki he nima ʻo ʻene kau mamana, ki he nima ʻoe kau ʻAsila, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻofa nanivi ki ai.

10 A hurahia ana ia e ratou kia noho tahanga; tangohia ana e ratou ana tama, ana tamahine, patua iho ia e ratou ki te hoari; a whai ingoa ana ia i roto i nga wahine; i mahia hoki e ratou he whakawa ki a ia.

Ko kinautolu eni, naʻa nau fakahā ʻene telefua, pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻene fānau tangata mo ʻene fānau fefine, mo tāmateʻi ia ʻaki ʻae heletā: pea naʻa ne hoko ʻo ongoongoa ia ʻi he kakai fefine; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fai ʻae fakamaau kiate ia.

11 A ka kite tona teina, a Ohoripa, i tenei, otiia i nui atu te kino o tona minamina i to tera, ona moepuku hoki i nui atu i o tona tuakana.

Pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻa hono tehina ko ʻAholipa, naʻa ne hoko ʻo fakalielia lahi hake ia ʻi heʻene holi kovi pea lahi hake ʻae fai feʻauaki ʻaʻana ʻi he feʻauaki ʻa hono taʻokete.

12 Minamina ana ia ki nga Ahiriana, ki ona hoa tata, ki nga ariki, ki nga kawana, he pai rawa nei nga kakahu, he tangata hoiho e eke ana ki te hoiho, ko ratou katoa he tamariki e minaminatia.

Naʻa ne ʻofa nanivi ki he kau ʻAsilia, ko hono kaunga nofoʻanga, ʻae ngaahi ʻeikitau mo e kau pule naʻe kofu fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻae kau tangata naʻe heka hoosi, ko e kau talavou toulekeleka kotoa pē ʻakinautolu.

13 Na ka kite ahau kua poke ia, kotahi tonu te ara o raua tokorua.

Pea naʻaku toki mamata kuo fakalieliaʻi ia, pea naʻa na tatau pe ʻi heʻena anga;

14 Kua neke ake ano ona moepuku: i kite hoki ia i nga tangata kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pakitara, i nga whakaahua o nga Karari, he mea tuhituhi ki te whero pai,

Pea naʻe tupu pe ʻa ʻene fai angahala: he naʻa ne sio leva ki he fakatātā tangata naʻe tohi ʻi he holisi fale, ʻae fakatātā ki he kau Kalitia naʻe tohi ʻaki ʻae enga kulokula,

15 He mea whitiki o ratou hope ki te whitiki, o ratou mahunga mea rawa ki te kakahu kua oti te rongoa, he rangatira katoa ki te titiro; ko te ahua kei to nga tama o Papurona, o Karari, o te whenua i whanau ai ratou:

Kuo nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae noʻo ʻa honau kongaloto, pea lahi ʻae teunga pulepule ʻi honau ʻulu, ʻo matamata ʻeiki kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e anga ʻae kau Papilone ʻi Kalitia, ko e fonua naʻa nau fānau ʻi ai:

16 A, no te kitenga o ona kanohi i a ratou, minamina tonu ki a ratou, tukua ana e ia he karere ki a ratou, ki Karari.

Pea ʻi heʻene mamata leva ki ai ʻaki hono mata, naʻa ne manako ki ai, ʻo ne fekau ʻae kau talafekau kiate kinautolu ki Kalitia.

17 Na ka haere mai ki a ia o nga tamariki o Papurona ki te moenga aroha, whakapokea ana ia e ratou ki a ratou moepuku: heoi ka whakapokea nei e ratou, na ngakaukore noa iho ia ki a ratou.

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau Papilone kiate ia ki hono mohenga, ʻonau fakalielia ia ʻi heʻenau fai angahala, pea naʻe fakalielia ia ʻiate kinautolu, pea naʻe tafoki hono loto meiate kinautolu.

18 Heoi ka whakakitea e ia ona moepuku, ka whakakitea ano ia e noho tahanga ana: na ngakaukore noa iho ahau ki a ia, pera tonu me ahau i ngakaukore ra ki tona tuakana.

Ko ia naʻa ne fakahā ai ʻene angahala mo ne fakahā ʻene telefua: ko ia naʻe tafoki ai hoku loto ʻoʻoku meiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e tafoki hoku loto mei hono tokoua.

19 Heoi whakanuia ana e ia ona moepuku, me te mahara ano ia ki nga ra o tona tamarikitanga i a ia i kairau ra ki te whenua o Ihipa.

Ka naʻa ne fakalahi pe ʻene feʻauaki, ʻi heʻene fakamanatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene kei siʻi, ʻaia naʻa ne fai fakaangahala ai ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite.

20 I minamina hoki ia ki o ratou hoa moepuku, he kikokiko kaihe nei o ratou kikokiko; a, ko te mea e tarere mai ana i roto i a ratou rite tonu ki te mea e tarere mai ana i roto i te hoiho.

He naʻa ne ʻofa nanivi ki heʻenau ʻofa, ʻakinautolu ʻoku tatau honau kakano mo e kakano ʻoe ʻasi, pea tatau ʻae meʻa ʻoku haʻu mei ai mo ia ʻoku haʻu mei ha hoosi.”

21 Na kua hokia nei e koe nga he o tou tamarikitanga i nga matamata o ou u i mirimiria ra e nga Ihipiana, he meatanga ki nga u o tou tamarikitanga.

Naʻe pehē ʻa hoʻo manatuʻi ʻae fai fakalielia ʻa hoʻo kei siʻi, ʻi he fāʻufua ʻe he kau ʻIsipite ʻae mataʻi huhu ʻo hoʻo kei finemui.

22 Mo reira, e Ohoripa, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana, ka ara i ahau ou hoa aroha hei hoariri mou, era kua ngakaukore na koe ki a ratou, ka kawea mai ano ratou e ahau ki a koe ki nga taha katoa;

“Ko ia, ʻE ʻAholipa, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, te u langaʻi hake ho kau mamana ke tuʻu kiate koe, ʻakinautolu kuo tafoki ho loto mei ai, pea te u fakaʻefi koe ʻiate kinautolu mei he potu kotoa pē,

23 Ko nga tangata o Papurona, ratou ko nga Karari katoa, a Pekoro, a Hoa, a Koa, ratou ko nga Ahiriana katoa: he taitamariki ratou katoa e minaminatia, he ariki, he kawana, he rangatira, he rongo nui, he eke hoiho katoa.

‌ʻAe kau Papilone, mo e kau Kalitia kotoa pē, ʻa Pikote, mo Soa, mo Koa, fakataha mo e kau ʻAsilia kotoa pē: ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ko e kau talavou toulekeleka, ʻae ngaahi ʻeikitau mo e kau pule, ʻae houʻeiki lahi mo ongoongo, ʻoku heka hoosi kotoa pē ʻakinautolu.

24 A ka haere mai ratou ki te whawhai ki a koe, me nga mea mo te whawhai, he hariata ano o ratou, he kata, he whakaminenga iwi; rite rawa i a ratou te puapua, te whakangungu rakau, te potae, hei whawhai ki a koe i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha: ka tuk ua ano e ahau te whakawa ki to ratou aroaro, a ka rite ki a ratou whakaritenga ta ratou whakarite mou.

Pea te nau haʻu kiate koe mo e saliote mo e meʻa teka, mo e ngaahi teka, pea mo e fuʻu kakai tokolahi, ʻakinautolu ʻe tuʻu ʻaki kiate koe ʻae nonoʻo, mo e pā, pea mo e tatā ki he tau: pea te u tuku ʻae fakamaau kiate kinautolu, pea te nau fakamaauʻi koe ʻo faʻifaʻiteliha pe ki ai ʻakinautolu.

25 Ka whakataua ano e ahau toku hae ki a koe, a ka mahi weriweri ratou ki a koe: ka riro ano tou ihu i a ratou, me ou taringa; ka hinga ano hoki ou morehu i te hoari: ka tangohia atu e ratou au tama me au tamahine; ka pau ano ou morehu i te ahi.

Pea ʻe ʻi ai hoku fuaʻa kiate koe, pea te nau fai fakamanavahē kiate koe: te nau motuhi ho ihu, pea mo ho telinga; pea ʻe mate ho toenga kakai ʻi he heletā: te nau ʻave hoʻo ngaahi tama mo hoʻo ngaahi taʻahine; pea ʻe fakaʻauha mālie ʻaki ʻae afi ʻa hono toe.

26 Ka huia atu ano e ratou ou kakahu, ka tangohia ano ou mea ataahua.

Te nau toʻo foki ho ngaahi kofu meiate koe, mo ʻave hoʻo ngaahi teunga lelei.

27 Heoi ka meinga e ahau tou he kia mutu, me tou moepuku i timata mai ra i te whenua o Ihipa; kia kore ai ou kanohi e ara ki aua mea, kia kore ai ano koe e mahara ki Ihipa a muri ake nei.

‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku ngaohi ke tuku ʻa hoʻo fai fakalielia, mo hoʻo feʻauaki naʻe haʻu mo koe mei ʻIsipite: ko ia ʻe ʻikai toe sio ho mata kiate kinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke toe manatu ki ʻIsipite.”

28 No te mea ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Tenei ahau ka hoatu nei i a koe ki te ringa o te hunga e kinongia na e koe, ki roto ki te ringa o te hunga kua ngakaukore na koe ki a ratou.

He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Vakai te u tukuange koe ki he nima ʻonautolu ʻoku ke fehiʻa ki ai, ki he nima ʻonautolu kuo tafoki mei ai ho loto:

29 Ka mahi ano ratou i runga i te mauahara ki a koe, a ka riro ou mauiui katoa i a ratou, mahue iho koe i a ratou kahore he kakahu, noho tahanga ana: ka kitea hoki e takoto kau ana ou moepuku, tou he me ou moepuku.

Pea te nau ngaohi koe ʻi he fehiʻa lahi, pea te nau ʻave ʻae fua kotoa pē ʻa hoʻo ngāue, pea te nau tuku koe ke ke telefua mo masiva: pea ʻe fakatelefuaʻi ʻa hoʻo fai angahala, ʻio, ʻa hoʻo fakalielia mo hoʻo feʻauaki kotoa pē.

30 Ka meatia enei mea e ahau ki a koe mo tou whainga atu ki nga tauiwi moepuku ai, mou i poke i a ratou whakapakoko.

Pea te u fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate koe, koeʻuhi kuo ke holi ke angahala mo e hiteni, pea koeʻuhi kuo ke fakalielia ʻaki koe ʻa honau ngaahi tamapua.

31 I haere koe i te ara o tou tuakana; na, ka hoatu e ahau tana kapu ki tou ringa.

Kuo ke ʻeveʻeva koe ʻi he hala ʻo ho tokoua; ko ia te u ʻange ai ki ho nima ʻa ʻene ipu ʻaʻana.”

32 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ka inumia e koe te kapu a tou tuakana, aua noa iho ki raro, nui noa atu: ka ai koe hei whakakatanga, hei taunutanga: ranea rawa taua kapu.

“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ‘Te ke inu ke loloto mo lahi mei he ipu ʻa ho tokoua: ʻe kata manuki ʻaki koe, pea ʻe luma ʻaki koe; ʻoku lahi ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻi ai.

33 Ka ki koe i te haurangi, i te pouri, i te kapu o te ketekete, o te whakangaromanga, i te kapu a tou tuakana, a Hamaria.

“Te ke fonu koe ʻi he kona mo e mamahi, ʻi he ipu ʻoe fakaofo mo e fakaʻauha, ʻae ipu ʻa ho tokoua ko Samēlia.

34 Ka inumia ano ra e koe, tatau rawa, wawahi rawa i nga maramara, ka hae ano e koe ou u: naku hoki te korero, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

‌ʻIo, te ke inu ia mo mimisi ia ke maha, pea te ke maumau ia, mo motuhi ʻaki ia ho huhu pe ʻoʻou:’ ko au Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ‘kuo u lea ki ai.’

35 Ina, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua wareware na koe ki ahau, kua maka ano ahau e koe ki muri i tou tuara, na pikaua ano e koe tou he me ou moepuku.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Koeʻuhi kuo ke fakangaloʻi au, mo ke lī atu au ki ho tuʻa, ko ia ia te ke fua ai ʻa hoʻo fakalielia mo hoʻo ngaahi feʻauaki.”

36 I mea ano a Ihowa ki ahau; E te tama a te tangata, e whakawa ranei koe i a Ohora raua ko Ohoripa? whakakitea a raua mea whakarihariha ki a raua;

Naʻe pehē foki ʻe Sihova kiate au; “Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe ʻikai te ke fakamaauʻi ʻa ʻAhola mo ʻAholipa? ʻIo, fakahā ki ai ʻena fai fakalielia;

37 No te mea kua moepuku raua, he toto kei o raua ringa, kua moepuku ano raua ki a raua whakapakoko; kua meinga e raua a raua tamariki, aku i whanau nei i roto i a raua kia tika i roto i te ahi, ki aua whakapakoko, pau tonu atu.

Kuo na fai ʻae tono tangata, pea ʻoku pani toto ʻa hona nima, pea kuo na fai angahala mo hona ngaahi tamapua, pea kuo na puleʻi ʻae fānau tangata naʻa na fanauʻi kiate au, ke ʻalu atu ʻi he afi ke nau ʻauha.

38 Ko tenei ano ta raua i mea ai ki ahau: i taua ra kotahi, whakapokea iho e raua toku wahi tapu, ko aku hapati kua noa i a raua.

Kaeʻumaʻā ko au ia kuo na fai ki ai ʻae meʻa ni: kuo na fakaʻuliʻi hoku fale tapu ʻi he ʻaho pe taha, mo na maumauʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu.

39 I ta raua patunga hoki i a raua tamariki hei mea ki a raua whakapakoko, haere ana raua i taua ra ano ki toku wahi tapu whakanoa ai; na, ko ta raua tena i mea ai i roto i toku whare.

He naʻe hili ʻae tāmate ʻenau fānau ki hona ngaahi tamapua, pea na omi foki ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia ki hoku fale tapu ke fakalieliaʻi ia; pea, vakai, kuo pehē pe ʻena fai ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoku fale ʻoʻoku.

40 I unga tangata ano koutou ki te hunga haere mai i tawhiti, he hunga i unga atu nei he karere ki a ratou; na, kua tae mai ratou; mo ratou tau horoi i a koe, mea rawa i ou kanohi ki te pukepoto, whakapaipai rawa i a koe ki nga whakapaipai;

Pea mo eni foki, naʻa ke ʻave ha fekau ki he kau tangata mei he mamaʻo, ʻaia ne ʻalu ki ai ʻae fekau; pea vakai, naʻa nau haʻu: ʻakinautolu naʻa ke kaukau ai koe, mo ke vali ho mata, mo ke teuteu ʻaki koe ʻae ngaahi teunga;

41 Na noho ana koe, he mea kororia te moenga, i tona taha ko te tepu rite rawa; i runga ko taku whakakakara, ko taku hinu, he mea whakatakoto nau.

Pea ke nofo ki he nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki, mo e palepale naʻe teuteu ʻi hono ʻao, ʻaia naʻa ke ai ki ai ʻa ʻeku meʻa namu kakala mo ʻeku lolo ʻaʻaku.

42 A i taua wahine te nge o te mano tini e noho nakohakoha ana: a i kawea mai i roto i te mano o te tangata nga haurangi o te koraha; a na ratou i whakanoho he poroporo ki o raua ringa, he karauna ataahua ki o raua mahunga.

Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae leʻo ʻoe fuʻu tokolahi naʻe fakafiefia mo ia: pea naʻe ʻomi fakataha mo e fuʻu tokolahi ʻae kau Sapea mei he toafa, ʻakinautolu ʻoku faʻa ʻai ʻae vesa ki honau nima, mo e pale lelei ki honau ʻulu.

43 Katahi ahau ka mea mo taua wahine kua ruruhi nei e moepuku ana, E moepuku ano ranei ratou ki a ia, me ia ano ki a ratou?

Pea u toki pehē ai kiate ia naʻe motuʻa pe mo e fai angahala, He te nau fai angahala eni mo ia, pea fai ʻe ia mo kinautolu?

44 Heoi haere ana ratou ki a ia, he pera i ta ratou haere ki te wahine moepuku: pera tonu ta ratou haere ki a Ohora, ki a Ohoripa, ki nga wahine he.

Ka naʻa nau hū atu kiate ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻalu ki ha fefine feʻauaki: naʻe pehē ʻenau ʻalu atu kia ʻAhola mo ʻAholipa ʻae ongo fefine fakalielia.

45 Na, ko nga tangata tika, ma ratou raua e whakawa, he whakawa i nga wahine moepuku, he whakawa i nga wahine whakaheke toto; he wahine moepuku hoki raua, he toto kei o raua ringa.

Pea ʻe fakamaau ʻakinaua ʻe he kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻo taau mo ia kuo tono tangata, pea tatau mo e fefine kuo lilingi toto; he ko e ongo tono tangata ʻakinaua, pea ʻoku ʻi hona nima ʻae toto.”

46 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ka kawea mai e ahau he hui ki a raua, a ka meinga raua e ahau kia makamaka, kia pahuatia.

He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: “Te u ʻomi ha kakai kiate kinaua, pea te u tukuange ʻakinaua ke fetukutukuʻi mo maumauʻi.

47 A ka akina raua e te hui ki te kohatu, ka tapahia ki a ratou hoari; ka whakamatea a raua tama, a raua tamahine, ka tahuna ano o raua whare ki te ahi.

Pea ʻe lisingi ʻaki ʻakinaua ʻae maka ʻe he kakai, pe tui ʻaki ʻenau heletā; te nau tāmateʻi ʻena fānau tangata mo ʻena fānau fefine, pea tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻa honau fale.

48 Heoi ka meinga e ahau te puremu kia mutu i te whenua; kia ako ai nga wahine katoa kia kaua a ratou mahi e rite ki o korua he.

‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku fakangata ʻae fai fakalielia mei he fonua, koeʻuhi ke ako ʻaki ia ki he kau fefine kotoa pē, ke ʻoua naʻa fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo mo fakalielia.

49 Ka hoatu ano e ratou nga utu o to korua he ki a korua, a ka pikaua e korua nga hara o a korua whakapakoko; ka mohio ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowa.

Pea te nau totongi kiate kimoua ʻa hoʻomo fakalielia, pea te mo fua ʻekimoua ʻae hia ʻa hoʻomo tauhi tamapua; pea te mo ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
