Kenehi 12
1 Na ka mea atu a Ihowa ki a Aperama, Haere atu i tou whenua, i roto i ou whanaunga, i te whare ano hoki o tou papa, ki te whenua e whakaaturia e ahau ki a koe:
Ka ko eni, kuo pehē ʻe Sihova kia ʻEpalame, “ʻAlu koe ʻi ho fonua, pea mei ho kāinga, pea mei he fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, ki ha fonua te u fakahā kiate koe:
2 A ka meinga koe e ahau hei iwi nui, ka manaakitia ano koe e ahau, ka whakanuia ano hoki tou ingoa; a ka waiho koe hei manaakitanga:
Pea te u fakatupu ʻiate koe ha puleʻanga lahi, pea te u tāpuakiʻi koe, pea ngaohi ho hingoa ke lahi; pea te ke hoko ko e tāpuaki:
3 A ka manaaki ahau i te hunga e manaaki ana i a koe, ka kanga hoki i te tangata e kanga ano i a koe: a mau ka manaakitia ai nga hapu katoa o te whenua.
Pea te u fakamonūʻia, ʻakinautolu ʻe tāpuakiʻi koe, pea fakamalaʻia ia ʻe kapeʻi koe: pea ʻe monūʻia ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.”
4 Na haere ana a Aperama, pera ana me ta Ihowa i korero ai ki a ia; i haere tahi ano a Rota i a ia; a e whitu tekau ma rima nga tau o Aperama i tona hekenga mai i Harana.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻEpalame, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia; pea ʻalu ʻa Lote mo ia: pea naʻe fitungofulu ma nima taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻEpalame ʻi heʻene ʻalu mei Halani.
5 Na ka tango a Aperama i a Harai, i tana wahine raua ko Rota tama a tona teina, i o ratou rawa katoa i whakaemi ai, i nga mea ora katoa i whiwhi ai ratou ki Harana; a whakatika ana ratou, haere ana ki te whenua o Kanaana; na, ka tae ratou ki te wh enua o Kanaana.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe ʻEpalame ʻa hono uaifi ko Selai, mo Lote ko e foha ʻo hono tokoua, mo e nau ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kuo nau tānaki, mo e kakai kuo nau maʻu ʻi Halani; pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu ke fononga ki he fonua ko Kēnani; pea naʻa nau hoko ai ki he fonua ko Kēnani.
6 Na ka tika a Aperama na waenganui o te whenua ki te wahi o Hekeme, ki te oki i More. I taua whenua ano te Kanaani i taua wa.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa ʻEpalame ʻi he fonua ki he potu ʻo Sikemi, ki he potu ʻakauʻia ʻo Mole. Pea ko e kakai Kēnani naʻe ʻi he fonua ʻi he kuonga ko ia.
7 Na ka puta a Ihowa ki a Aperama, ka mea, Ka hoatu e ahau tenei whenua ki tou uri. Na ka hanga e ia tetahi aata ki reira ma Ihowa i puta mai nei ki a ia.
Pea naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalame, ʻo ne pehē, “Te u foaki ʻae fonua ni ki ho hako:” pea naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻe ia ʻae ʻesifeilaulau kia Sihova, ʻaia naʻe hā kiate ia.
8 Na ka neke atu ia i reira ki te maunga i te rawhiti o Peteere, a ka whakatu i tona teneti; ko Peteere ki te hauauru, ko Hai ki te rawhiti: i hanga ano e ia tetahi aata ma Ihowa ki reira, a karanga ana ki te ingoa o Ihowa.
Pea naʻe hiki ia mei ai ki ha moʻunga ʻi he potu hahake ʻo Peteli, pea ne fokotuʻu hono fale fehikitaki, ʻoku ʻi hihifo ʻa Peteli, mo ʻAi ʻi hahake: pea ne fokotuʻu ai ʻae ʻesifeilaulau kia Sihova, pea ui ʻe ia ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.
9 Na ka turia atu e Aperama, me te neke haere whaka te tonga.
Pea naʻe fononga ʻa ʻEpalame, ʻo ne kei ʻalu atu ki he feituʻu tonga.
10 A he matekai to te whenua: a ka haere a Aperama ki raro, ki Ihipa, ki reira noho ai; he nui hoki te matekai o te whenua.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻae honge ʻi he fonua: pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa ʻEpalame ki ʻIsipite ke nofo ai: he kuo lahi ʻae honge ʻi he fonua.
11 A, i a ia ka tata te tae ki Ihipa, ka mea ia ki a Harai, ki tana wahine, Nana, e mohio ana ahau he wahine ataahua koe ki te titiro atu;
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo ofi atu ki ʻIsipite, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia Selai ko hono uaifi, “Vakai mai, ʻoku ou ʻilo ko e fefine hoihoifua koe ke sio ki ai:
12 Na, akuanei, kei te kitenga o nga Ihipiana i a koe, ka mea ratou, Ko tana wahine tenei: a ka patua ahau e ratou, ka whakaora hoki i a koe.
Pea ko ia, ka mamata ʻae kakai ʻIsipite kiate koe, te nau pehē, ‘Ko hono uaifi eni:’ pea te nau tāmateʻi au, ka te nau fakamoʻui koe.
13 Me ki koe, ne, he tuahine koe noku? kia whiwhi ai ahau ki te pai i a koe; a kia ora ai toku wairua i a koe.
ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke pehē, ko hoku tuofefine koe: kae lelei ai au koeʻuhi ko koe; pea ʻe moʻui ʻa hoku laumālie koeʻuhi ko koe.”
14 A, i te taenga o Aperama ki Ihipa, ka titiro nga Ihipiana ki te wahine, he tino ataahua.
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he ʻalu atu ʻa ʻEpalame ki ʻIsipite, naʻe vakai ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ki he hoihoifua ʻaupito ʻoe fefine.
15 Ka kite hoki nga rangatira a Parao i a ia, ka korero whakamihi mona ki a Parao: a ka kawea te wahine ra ki te whare o Parao.
Naʻe mamata foki kiate ia ʻae houʻeiki ʻa Felo, pea naʻa nau fakaongolelei ia kia Felo: pea naʻe ʻave ʻae fefine ki he fale ʻo Felo.
16 Na ka atawhai ia i a Aperama, he mea hoki mo te wahine: a ka riro i ia he hipi, he kau, he kaihe toa, he pononga tane, he pononga wahine, he kaihe uha, he kamera.
Pea naʻe fai lelei ʻe ia kia ʻEpalame koeʻuhi ko ia: pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻae fanga sipi, mo e fanga manu, mo e fanga ʻasi tangata, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e kau kaunanga, mo e fanga ʻasi fefine, mo e fanga kāmeli.
17 Na ka whiua e Ihowa a Parao ratou ko tona whare, he nui nga pakinga, mo Harai wahine a Aperama.
Pea naʻe tautea ʻe Sihova ʻa Felo mo hono fale ʻaki ʻae ngaahi hangatāmaki lahi koeʻuhi ko Selai ko e uaifi ʻo ʻEpalame.
18 Na ka karanga a Parao ki a Aperama, ka mea, He aha tenei mahi au ki ahau? he aha koe te korero mai ai ki ahau ko tau wahine ia?
Pea naʻe ui ʻa Felo kia ʻEpalame, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e hā eni kuo ke fai kiate au? Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te ke tala mai ko ho uaifi ia?
19 Na te aha koe i mea ai, Ko taku tuahine ia? i tango ai ahau i a ia hei wahine maku: na, tau wahine, tangohia, haere.
Ko e hā naʻa ke pehē ai, ‘Ko hoku tuofefine eni?’ Ne u meimei maʻu ia ko e uaifi kiate au; pea ko eni, vakai ki ho uaifi, ʻave ia pea ke ʻalu.”
20 Na ka whakatupato a Parao ki nga tangata, kei aha atu ki a ia: a tukua atu ana ia e ratou, me tana wahine, me ana mea katoa.
Pea naʻe fonosi ʻe Felo ki heʻene kau tangata koeʻuhi ko ia: pea naʻa nau fekau ia ke ʻalu, mo hono uaifi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne maʻu.
