Etera 5

1 Katahi nga poropiti, a Hakai poropiti, raua ko Hakaraia, tama a Iro, ka poropiti ki nga Hurai i Hura, i Hiruharama; i poropiti ratou ki a ratou i runga i te ingoa o te Atua o Iharaira.

Pea koe ongo palōfita, ko Hakeai ko e palōfita, mo Sakalia ko e foha ʻo Ito, naʻa na lea ki he kakai Siu naʻe ʻi Siuta mo Selūsalema ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻio, kiate kinautolu.

2 Katahi ka maranga a Herupapera tama a Haratiera, raua ko Hehua tama a Iohereke, timataia ana e raua te hanga i te whare o te Atua i Hiruharama: i a raua ano nga poropiti a te Atua hei hoa mo raua.

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli, mo Sesua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, pea kamata langa ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema; pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau palōfita ʻoe ʻOtua ke tokoniʻi ʻakinautolu.

3 I taua wa ano ka tae mai ki a ratou a Tatenai kawana o tenei taha o te awa, raua ko Hetara Potenai, me o raua hoa, a ka mea ki a ratou, Na wai koutou i whakahau kia hanga tenei whare, kia whakaotia tenei taiepa?

Pea naʻe haʻu kiate kinautolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻa Tatinei, ko e pule ʻi he potu kauvai ni ʻoe vaitafe, mo Sita-Posinei, mo hona ngaahi kaumeʻa, ʻonau lea pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai kuo ne fekau ʻakimoutolu ke langa ʻae fale ni, pea ke fakamaʻopoʻopo ʻae ʻā maka ni?”

4 Katahi ka penei ta matou kupu ki a ratou, Ko wai nga ingoa o nga tangata e hanga nei i tenei whare?

Pea naʻa mau tala kiate kinautolu ʻo pehē ni, “Ko e hā ʻae hingoa ʻae kau tangata, ʻoku fai ʻae langa fale ni?

5 Otiia i runga i nga kaumatua o nga Hurai te kanohi o to ratou Atua, i kore ai ta ratou e whakamutua, kia tae atu ra ano taua mea ki a Tariuha: katahi ka whakahokia mai ai he kupu mo tenei mea, he mea tuhituhi.

Ka ko e fofonga ʻo honau ʻOtua naʻe ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻoe kakai Siu, ko ia naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai ke taʻofi, kaeʻoua ke hoko atu ia kia Talaiasi: pea naʻa nau toki ʻave hono tali tohi ki he meʻa ni.

6 Ko nga kupu o te pukapuka i tukua e Tatenai kawana o tera taha o te awa, e Hetara Potenai, e ona hoa, e nga Aparahaki i tera taha o te awa, ki a Kingi Tariuha:

“Ko hono hiki eni ʻoe tohi ʻaia naʻe fai mo ʻatu kia Talaiasi ko e tuʻi, ʻe Tatinei ko e pule ʻi he potu kauvai ni ʻoe vaitafe, mo Sita-Posinei, mo hono kaumeʻa ko e kau ʻAfasatikai, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he potu kauvai ni ʻoe vaitafe.

7 I tukua e ratou he pukapuka ki a ia, a i tuhituhia ki roto; Ki a Tariuha, ki te kingi, kia tau te rangimarie katoa.

“Naʻa nau ʻave ʻae tohi kiate ia, ʻaia naʻe tohi ʻi ai ʻo pehē; Ke ʻia Talaiasi ko e tuʻi ʻae fiemālie lahi.

8 Kia mohiotia tenei e te kingi, i haere matou ki te whenua o Hura, ki te whare o te Atua nui e hanga nei ki nga kohatu nunui, e whakatakotoria ana hoki he rakau ki nga taha: a kei te hohoro, kei te pai hoki te haere a tenei mahi a o ratou ringa.

“Ke ʻilo ʻe he tuʻi, naʻa mau ʻalu ki he fonua ko Siuta, ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua lahi, ʻaia ʻoku langa ʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi, pea kuo ʻai ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻi he ngaahi ʻā maka, pea ʻoku fai fakavave ʻae ngāue ni, pea ʻoku monūʻia ia ʻi honau nima.

9 Katahi matou ka ui ki aua kaumatua; he penei ta matou kupu ki a ratou, Na wai koutou i whakahau kia hanga tenei whare, kia whakaotia enei taiepa?

“Pea naʻa mau fehuʻi ai ki he kau mātuʻa ko ia, ʻo mau pehē kiate kinautolu, Ko hai naʻa ne fekau kiate kimoutolu ke langa ʻae fale ni, pea ke fakamaʻopoʻopo ʻae ngaahi ʻā maka ni?

10 I uia ano e matou o ratou ingoa, kia whakaaturia ai ki a koe, kia tuhituhia ai e matou nga ingoa o o ratou tino tangata.

Pea naʻa mau fehuʻi ki honau hingoa foki, koeʻuhi ke fakapapau kiate koe, pea ke mau tohi ʻae hingoa ʻoe kau tangata ʻoku tuʻukimuʻa ʻiate kinautolu.

11 Na ko ta ratou kupu tenei i whakahoki ai ki a matou, He pononga matou na te Atua o te rangi, o te whenua, e hanga ana hoki i te whare i hanga i mua noa atu, ka maha nei nga tau; a he kingi nui te kingi o Iharaira nana nei i hanga, i whakaoti.

Pea naʻa nau tali mai, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimautolu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe langi mo māmani, pea ʻoku mau langa ʻae fale ʻaia naʻe langa ʻi he taʻu lahi kuo hili, ʻaia naʻe langa ʻe he tuʻi lahi ʻo ʻIsileli pea fokotuʻu.

12 Otiia, i te whakapataritaringa a o matou matua ki te Atua o te rangi, ka hoatu ratou e ia ki te ringa o Nepukaneha Karari kingi o Papurona: nana tenei whare i tukituki, a whakaraua ana e ia te iwi ki Papurona.

Kae hili ʻae fakatupu ʻe heʻemau ngaahi tamai ʻae houhau lahi ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe langi, naʻa ne tuku ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ko e tangata Kalitia, ʻaia naʻa ne maumauʻi ʻae fale ni, pea ne fetuku ʻae kakai ki he mamaʻo ki Papilone.

13 I te tuatahi ia o nga tau o Hairuha kingi o Papurona, ka puaki he tikanga i a Kingi Hairuha kia hanga tenei whare o te Atua.

Ka ʻi he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ko e tuʻi ko ia ko Kolesi naʻa ne fai ʻae fono ke langa ʻae fale ni ʻoe ʻOtua.

14 Na, ko nga oko, ko nga mea koura, hiriwa, o te whare o te Atua, i tangohia nei e Nepukaneha i te temepara i Hiruharama, i kawea ki te temepara o Papurona, i tangohia era e Kingi Hairuha i te temepara o Papurona, a homai ana ki tetahi tangata, to na ingoa ko Hehepatara, i meinga nei e ia hei kawana,

Pea ko e ngaahi ipu koula foki mo e siliva ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻe Nepukanesa mei he faletapu ʻaia naʻe ʻi Selūsalema, pea ʻomi ki he faletapu ʻo Papilone, naʻe toʻo ia ʻe Kolesi ko e tuʻi mei he faletapu ʻo Papilone, pea naʻe tuku ia ki he nima ʻoe tokotaha ko hono hingoa ko Sesipasa, ʻaia naʻa ne fakanofo ko e pule.

15 A i mea ia ki a ia, Tangohia enei mea, haere, kawea ki te temepara i Hiruharama; ka hanga hoki i te whare o te Atua ki tona wahi.

‌ʻO ne pehē kiate ia, Toʻo ʻae ngaahi nāunau ni, pea ʻalu, ʻo fetuku ia ki he faletapu ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema, pea tuku ke langa ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi hono potu.

16 Katahi ka haere mai taua Hehepatara, whakatakotoria ana e ia te turanga mo te whare o te Atua i Hiruharama: ko te hanganga ano tenei o te temepara, o reira ra ano a mohoa noa nei; heoi kahore ano kia oti noa.

Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae Sesipasa ko ia, pea ne ʻai hono tuʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema: pea talu ʻae kuonga ko ia ʻo fai mai kuo langa ia, ka ʻoku teʻeki ai ʻosi ia.’

17 Na, ki te pai te kingi, me rapu i roto i te whare taonga o te kingi i kona, i Papurona, koia ranei i whakatakotoria e Kingi Hairuha he tikanga kia hanga tenei whare o te Atua ki Hiruharama? a kia meatia mai hoki e te kingi tana e pai ai mo tenei mea ki a matou.

“Pea ko eni, kapau ʻoku matalelei ki he tuʻi, tuku ke kumi ʻi he fale koloa ʻoe tuʻi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Papilone, pe kuo pehē pe, [pe ʻikai], pe naʻe fai ha fono ʻo Kolesi ke langa ʻae fale ni ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi Selūsalema, pea ke fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻaia ʻoku lelei hono loto ki ai ʻi he meʻa ni.”
