Kenehi 22
1 Na i muri i enei mea ka whakamatau te Atua i a Aperahama, ka mea ki a ia, E Aperahama: ka mea ia, Tenei ahau.
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe hoko ʻae ʻahiʻahi mei he ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame ʻo ne pehē, ʻEpalahame: pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai ko au [eni].
2 Na ka mea ia, Kawea atu tau tamaiti, tau huatahi, tau e aroha nei, a Ihaka, a haere ki te whenua o Moria; ka whakaeke i a ia ki reira hei tahunga tinana ki runga ki tetahi o nga maunga e korero ai ahau ki a koe.
Pea ne pehē, “Ko eni ke ke ʻave ho foha, ho foha pe taha ko ʻAisake, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻofa ki ai, pea ke ʻalu ki he fonua ko Molia: ʻo feilaulau ʻaki ia ʻi ai, ko e feilaulau tutu, ʻi he moʻunga ʻe taha ʻaia te u fakahā kiate koe.”
3 Na ka maranga wawe a Aperahama i te ata, a whakanohoia ana e ia tana kaihe, a mauria ana e ia etahi o ana taitamariki hei hoa mona, me Ihaka hoki, me tana tama, a tatangia ana e ia nga wahie mo te tahunga tinana, a whakatika ana, haere ana ki te wahi i korero ai te Atua ki a ia.
Pea tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻo ne ai hono hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi, pea ʻave mo ia ʻae talavou ʻe toko ua, pea mo ʻAisake ko hono foha, pea naʻa ne tā ʻae fefie ki he feilaulau tutu, pea nau tutuʻu hake ʻo fononga ki he potu naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia.
4 I te ra tuatoru ka maranga nga kanohi o Aperahama, a ka kite ia i taua wahi i tawhiti.
Pea hanga hake ʻa ʻEpalahame hono mata ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, pea mamata ia ki he potu mei he mamaʻo.
5 Na ka mea a Aperahama ki ana taitamariki, E noho korua i konei ki te kaihe; ka haere maua ko te tamaiti nei ki ko, ki te koropiko, ka hoki mai ai ki a korua.
Pea pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame ki heʻene ongo talavou, “Mo nofo ʻi heni mo e ʻasi: pea te ma ō mo e tama ki hena ʻo lotu, pea toe haʻu kiate kimoua.”
6 Na ka tango a Aperahama i te wahie mo te tahunga tinana, a whakawaha ana e ia ki a Ihaka, ki tana tama; a ka mauria e ia he ahi i tona ringa me tetahi maripi; a haere tahi ana raua.
Pea toʻo mai ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae fefie ki he feilaulau tutu, ke fua ia ʻe hono foha ko ʻAisake; pea ne toʻo ʻae afi ʻi hono nima mo e hele; pea naʻa na ō fakataha.
7 Na ka korero a Ihaka ki a Aperahama, ki tona papa, ka mea, E toku matua: ka mea ia, Tenei ahau, e taku tama. A ka mea ia, Nana, ko te ahi me nga wahie: kei hea ia te reme hei tahunga tinana?
Pea naʻe leaange ʻa ʻAisake ki heʻene tamai ko ʻEpalahame, ʻo pehē, “Ko ʻeku tamai; pea ne pehē, “Hoku foha, ko au eni.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, ko eni ʻae afi, mo e fefie; ka ko e fē ʻae lami ki he feilaulau?”
8 Ka mea a Aperahama, Kei te Atua te whakaaro, e taku tamaiti, ki tetahi reme mana hei tahunga tinana: na ka haere tahi raua.
Pea pehēange ʻe ʻEpalahame, “Hoku foha, ʻe tokonaki ʻe he ʻOtua maʻana ha lami ki he feilaulau tutu; pea ne na ō fakataha.”
9 A ka tae raua ki te wahi i korero ai te Atua ki a ia; a ka hanga e Aperahama tetahi aata ki reira, a whakapapatia ana e ia nga wahie, na ka herea e ia a Ihaka, tana tama, whakatakotoria iho ki te aata, ki runga ki nga wahie.
Pea naʻa na hoko ki he potu naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia; pea fokotuʻu ai ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae ʻesifeilaulau, ʻo ne hili ʻae fefie ki ai, pea ne haʻi hono foha ko ʻAisake, ʻo ne hilifaki ia ki he fefie ki he funga ʻesifeilaulau.
10 Na ka totoro atu te ringa o Aperahama, ka mau ki te maripi hei patu mo tana tama.
Pea mafao atu ʻe ʻEpalahame hono nima, ʻo ne toʻo ʻae hele ke tāmateʻi hono foha.
11 Na ko te karangatanga mai a te anahera a Ihowa ki a ia i runga i te rangi, ka mea, E Aperahama, e Aperahama: ka mea ia, Tenei ahau.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia mei he langi, ʻo pehē, “ʻEpalahame, ʻEpalahame;” pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au eni;”
12 Na ka mea ia, Kaua e totoro tou ringa ki te tamaiti, kaua ano hoki tetahi mea e meatia ki a ia: katahi hoki ahau ka matau e wehi ana koe i te Atua, i a koe kihai nei i kaiponu i tau tamaiti, i tau huatahi, i ahau.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOua naʻa ala ho nima ki he tama, pe fai ha meʻa kiate ia; he ʻoku ou ʻilo eni, ʻoku ke manavahē ki he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ke taʻofi ho foha, ko ho foha pe taha meiate au.”
13 A ka maranga ake nga kanohi o Aperahama, na ka kite ia ko tetahi hipi toa i muri i a ia, e mau ana ona haona i roto i te puia rakau: na ka haere a Aperahama, ka hopu i te hipi ra, a whakaekea ana e ia hei tahunga tinana, hei whakarite mo tana ta ma.
Pea hanga hake ʻa ʻEpalahame hono mata ʻo ne sio, pea vakai naʻe ʻi hono tuʻa ha sipitangata, kuo ʻefihia ʻi hono nifo ʻi he vao; pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻo ne toʻo ʻae sipitangata, ʻo ne feilaulau ʻaki ia, ko e feilaulau tutu, ko e fetongi ʻo hono foha.
14 Na ka huaina e Aperahama te ingoa o taua wahi ko Ihowatire: e korerotia nei inaianei, Kei te maunga o Ihowa te kitea ia.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe ʻEpalahame ʻae hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia, ko Sihova-Saila; hangē ko ia ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻo pehē, “ʻI he moʻunga ʻe ʻafio ʻa Sihova ki ai.”
15 Na ka karanga ano te anahera a Ihowa ki a Aperahama i te rangi,
Pea naʻe ui ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalahame mei he langi ko hono tuʻo ua,
16 Ka mea, Kua waiho e ahau ko ahau ano hei oati, e ai ta Ihowa, mou i mea i tenei mea, mou ano hoki kihai i kaiponu i tau tama, i tau huatahi:
ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, kuo u fuakava ʻiate au, koeʻuhi kuo ke fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke taʻofi meiate au ho foha, ʻa ho foha pe taha;
17 Na, ka manaakitia rawatia koe e ahau, a ka whakanuia rawatia e ahau ou uri kia pera me nga whetu o te rangi, me te onepu hoki i te tahatika o te moana; a ka riro i ou uri te kuwaha o ona hoariri;
Koeʻuhi ʻi he tāpuaki, te u tāpuakiʻi koe, pea ʻi he fakatokolahi, te u fakatokolahi ho hako ke tatau mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi, mo e ʻoneʻone ʻoku ʻi he matātahi; pea ʻe maʻu ʻe ho hako ʻae matapā ʻo honau ngaahi fili.
18 Ma tou uri ano hoki ka manaakitia ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua; mou i whakarongo ki toku reo.
Pea ʻe monūʻia ʻi ho hako ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani; ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo tuitala ki hoku leʻo.”
19 Na ka hoki a Aperahama ki ana taitamariki, a whakatika ana ratou, haere tahi ana ki Peerehepa; a ka noho a Aperahama ki Peerehepa.
Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa ʻEpalahame ki heʻene ongo talavou, pea naʻa nau tutuʻu ki ʻolunga ʻo nau fononga fakataha ki Peasipa, pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻi Peasipa.
20 Na i muri i enei mea ka korerotia ki a Aperahama, ka meatia, Nana, kua whanau tamariki ano a Mireka raua ko Nahora, ko tou teina;
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe fakahā kia ʻEpalahame, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, kuo fanauʻi foki ʻe Milika ʻae fānau kia Nehoa, ko ho tokoua.
21 Ko Hutu, ko tana matamua, raua ko Putu, ko tona teina, me Kemuera hoki, matua o Arame,
Ko Husa hono ʻuluaki, mo Pusa ko hono tehina, pea mo Kemueli, ko e tamai ʻa ʻElami.
22 Ratou ko Kehere, ko Hato, ko Piretata, ko Irirapa, ko Petuere.
Mo Keseti, mo Hesoa, mo Pilitasi, mo Sitilafi, mo Petueli.
23 A whanau ake ta Petuere ko Ripeka: ko enei tokowaru te whanau a Mireka raua ko Nahora, teina o Aperahama.
Pea naʻe tupu ia Petueli ʻa Lepeka ko e toko valu ni naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Milika kia Nehoa, ko e tehina ʻo ʻEpalahame.
24 A ko tana wahine iti, tona ingoa nei ko Reuma, i whanau ano ana, ko Tepa ratou ko Kahama, ko Tahaha, ko Maaka.
Pea ko hono sinifu naʻe hingoa ko Liuma, naʻa ne fanauʻi foki ʻe ia ʻa Tepa, mo Kehami, mo Tehasi, mo Meeka.
