< Kenehi 24 >

1 Na kua koroheketia a Aperahama, A kua maha rawa ona ra: a i manaaki a Ihowa i a Aperahama i nga mea katoa.
Pea naʻe motuʻa ʻa ʻEpalahame, pea lahi ʻaupito ʻa hono ngaahi ʻaho; pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
2 Na ka mea a Aperahama ki te kaumatua o ana pononga i roto i tona whare, ki te kaiwhakahaere o ana mea katoa, Tena, whakapakia mai tou ringa ki raro ki toku huhu:
Pea pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame ki ke motuʻa tamaioʻeiki ʻi hono fale, ʻaia naʻe pule ki heʻene meʻa kotoa pē, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke ai ho nima ʻi hoku lalo tenga:
3 A me whakaoati koe e ahau ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o te rangi, ki te Atua hoki o te whenua, kia kaua e tangohia e koe he wahine ma taku tama i roto i nga tamahine a nga Kanaani, a te iwi e noho nei ahau i roto i a ratou:
He ko hoku loto, ke ke fuakava ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe langi, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo māmani, ke ʻoua naʻa ke fili ha uaifi ki hoku foha ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kakai Kēnani, ʻaia ʻoku ou ʻāunofo ki ai.
4 Engari me haere koe ki toku whenua, ki oku whanaunga, ka tango mai ai i tetahi wahine ma taku tama, ma Ihaka.
Ka te ke ʻalu ki hoku fonua, ki hoku kāinga, mo ke fili mai ha uaifi ki hoku foha ko ʻAisake.”
5 Na ka mea te pononga ki a ia, Akuanei pea ka kore e pai te wahine ki te whai mai i ahau ki tenei whenua: me whakahoki ranei e ahau tau tama ki te whenua i haere mai nei koe i reira?
Pea pehēange ʻe he tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai fie haʻu mo au ʻae fefine ki he fonua ni; ʻe fēfē, te u toe ʻave ho foha ki he fonua naʻa ke haʻu mei ai?”
6 Ka mea a Aperahama ki a ia, Kia tino mohio koe, kaua rawa taku tama e whakahokia ki reira.
Pea talaange ʻe ʻEpalahame kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa ke toe ʻave hoku foha ki ai.
7 Ko Ihowa, ko te Atua o te rangi, nana nei ahau i tango mai i te whare o toku papa, i te whenua hoki i whanau ai ahau, i korero ki ahau, i oati hoki ki ahau, Ka hoatu e ahau tenei whenua ki ou uri; mana e tono mai tana anahera ki mua i a koe, a ka riro mai i a koe tetahi wahine ma taku tama i reira.
Ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe langi, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi au mei he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai, mo e fonua ʻo hoku kāinga, pea naʻa ne lea kiate au mo ne fuakava kiate au, ʻo pehē, Te u foaki ki ho hako ʻae fonua ni: te ne fekau ʻene ʻāngelo ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe, pea te ke ʻomi mei ai ha uaifi ki hoku foha.
8 A, ki te kahore te wahine e pai ki te whai mai i a koe, katahi koe ka watea i tenei oati aku: otiia kaua e whakahokia e koe taku tama ki reira.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai loto ʻae fefine ke haʻu mo koe, te ke ʻataʻatā ai mei he ʻe ta fuakava ni: kaeʻoua naʻa ke toe ʻave hoku foha ki ai.”
9 Na ka whakapakia e te pononga tona ringa ki raro i te huha o Aperahama, o tona ariki, a ka oati ki a ia mo taua mea.
Pea naʻe ai ʻe he tamaioʻeiki hono nima ki he lalo tenga ʻo hono ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, pea ne fuakava kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni.
10 Na ka tangohia e te pononga etahi kamera kotahi tekau i roto i nga kamera a tona ariki, a haere ana: i tona ringa hoki nga mea papai katoa a tona ariki: a whakatika ana ia, haere ana ki Mehopotamia, ki te pa o Nahora.
Pea naʻe fili mai ʻe he tamaioʻeiki ʻae kāmeli ʻe hongofulu ʻi he fanga kāmeli ʻa ʻene ʻeiki, pea ʻalu; he naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ʻeiki, pea tuʻu hake ia ʻo ʻalu ki Mesopōtemia, ki he kolo ʻo Nehoa.
11 Na ka mea ia i nga kamera kia tuturi ki te taha o te puna wai i waho o te pa i te ahiahi, i te wa e puta mai ai nga wahine ki te utu wai.
Pea naʻa ne fakatūʻulutui ʻene fanga kāmeli ʻi he tuaʻā kolo ʻi he veʻe vaikeli, ʻi he feituʻulaʻā efiafi, ʻio, ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ʻoku ʻalu ai ʻae kau fefine ke utu vai.
12 A ka mea ia, E Ihowa, e te Atua o toku ariki, o Aperahama, kia whai wahi ahau akuanei, whakaputaina hoki he aroha ki toku ariki, ki a Aperahama.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakamonūʻia au he ʻaho ni, pea ke fakahā hoʻo ʻofa ki heʻeku ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame.
13 Tenei ahau te tu nei i te taha o te puna wai; a e haere mai ana nga tamahine a nga tangata o te pa ki te utu wai:
Vakai, ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi heni, ʻi he veʻe vaikeli; pea ʻe haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kakai ʻoe kolo ke utu vai.
14 A, ko te kotiro e mea ai ahau ki a ia, Tukua iho tau oko kia inu ai ahau; a ka mea ia, E inu, me whakainu ano e ahau au kamera: kia rite ia i a koe ma tau pononga, ma Ihaka; ma reira ka mohio ai ahau e whakaputa aroha ana koe ki toku ariki.
Tuku ke hoko ʻo pehē, ke ʻilonga ʻae taʻahine, ʻaia te u pehē ki ai, ‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku hifo hoʻo hina, ke u inu; pea te ne pehē mai, Inu, pea te u fakainu hoʻo fanga kāmeli foki;’ ko ia ia kuo ke fili maʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko ʻAisake: pea te u ʻilo ai kuo ke fakahā ʻae ʻofa ki heʻeku ʻeiki.”
15 Heoi kiano i mutu noa tana korero, na, kua puta mai a Ripeka, tamahine a Petuere, tama a Mireka, a te wahine a Nahora, teina o Aperahama, me tana oko i runga i tona pokohiwi.
Pea naʻe hoko, ʻo pehē, ʻi he teʻeki ai ʻosi ʻene lea, vakai naʻe haʻu mo ʻene hina vai ʻi hono uma, ʻa Lepeka ʻaia naʻe tupu ia Petueli, ko e tama ʻa Milika, ko e uaifi ʻo Nehoa, ko e taʻokete ʻo ʻEpalahame.
16 Na ko te kotiro ra he tino ataahua ki te titiro atu, he wahina, kahore ano tetahi tane kia mohio noa ki a ia: na ka heke atu ia ki te puna, ka whakaki i tana oko, a ka haere ake.
Pea naʻe hoihoifua ʻae taʻahine ke sio ki ai, pea ko e tāupoʻou ia, he naʻe teʻeki ʻiloʻi ia ʻe ha tangata; pea ne ʻalu hifo ia ki he vai, ʻo fakafonu ʻene hina pea toe ʻalu hake.
17 Na ka rere te pononga ra ki te whakatutaki i a ia, ka mea, Homai he wai moku, ne, o tau oko kia iti nei?
Pea lele ʻae tamaioʻeiki ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia: “ʻOku ou kole ke u inu ha vai siʻi ʻi hoʻo hina.”
18 A ka mea ia, E inu, e toku ariki: na hohoro tonu tana tuku iho i tana oko ki runga ki tona ringa, a whakainumia ana ia.
Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Ko ʻeku ʻeiki ke ke inu;” pea fakatoʻotoʻo ia ʻo tuku hifo ʻae hina ki hono nima, ʻo ne fakainu ia.
19 A, ka mutu tana whakainu i a ia, ka mea ia, Me utu ano hoki e ahau mo au kamera, kia poto ra ano ratou te whakainu.
Pea hili ʻene fakainu ia, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te u utu ki hoʻo fanga kāmeli foki ke ʻoua ke nau fiu.”
20 Na hohoro tonu tana riringi atu i te wai o tana oko ki roto ki te waka, a rere ana ano ki te puna ki te utu, a utuhia mai ana e ia mo ana kamera katoa.
Pea fakatoʻotoʻo ia, pea lingi ʻae vai mei he hina ki he tukuʻanga vai, pea toe lele ki he vai ke utu, pea naʻa ne utu ki heʻene fanga kāmeli kotoa pē.
21 Ko taua tangata ia matatau tonu tana titiro ki a ia, kihai hoki i hamumu, kia mohio ia ka whakatikaia ranei e Ihowa tona ara, kahore ranei.
Pea naʻe ofo ʻae tangata kiate ia, kae fakalongo pe, ko ʻene vakai pe kuo fakamonūʻia ʻe Sihova hono fononga pe ʻikai.
22 A ka mutu te inu o nga kamera, na ka tikina e taua tangata tetahi whakakai koura, he hawhe hekere tona taimaha, me nga poroporo e rua mo ona ringa, kotahi tekau nga hekere koura te taimaha;
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he hili ʻae inu ʻae fanga kāmeli, naʻe toʻo ʻe he tangata ʻae hau koula, ko e vaheua ʻoe sikeli siliva hono mamafa, pea mo e lelu koula ʻe ua ki hono nima, ko e sikeli ʻe hongofulu hono mamafa.
23 A ka mea, Na wai koe tamahine? tena, korero mai ki ahau: he wahi ranei kei te whare o tou papa hei moenga mo matou?
Pea ne pehē, “Ko e ʻofefine ʻohai koe? ʻOku ou kole ke ke tala mai, pe ʻoku ʻataʻatā ʻae ʻapi ʻo hoʻo tamai ke mau ʻapitanga ai.”
24 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, He tamahine ahau na Petuere, tama a Mireka, i whanau nei i a raua ko Nahora.
Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e ʻofefine au ʻo Petueli ko e tama ʻa Milika, ʻaia naʻa ne fāʻeleʻi kia Nehoa.”
25 A ka mea ano ia ki a ia, He nui a matou kakau witi, me a matou otaota hei kai, me tetahi wahi hoki hei moenga.
Pea ne pehē foki kiate ia, “ʻOku mau maʻu ʻae mohuku mo e meʻakai lahi pea ʻoku ʻataʻatā homau ʻapi ke [mou ]ʻapitanga ki ai.”
26 Na tuohu ana taua tangata, koropiko ana ki a Ihowa.
Pea tulolo hifo ʻae tangata hono ʻulu, pea hū ia kia Sihova.
27 A ka mea, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o toku rangatira, o Aperahama, kihai nei i wareware ki tona aroha, ki tona pono ki toku rangatira: tena ko ahau, na Ihowa ano ahau i arataki mai i te ara ki te whare o nga teina o toku rangatira.
‌ʻO ne pehē, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakamasiva ʻeku ʻeiki ʻi heʻene ʻaloʻofa mo ʻene moʻoni; naʻaku ʻi he hala, pea kuo tataki au ʻe Sihova ki he fale ʻoe kāinga ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki.”
28 Na ka oma te kotiro ra, ka korero i enei mea ki te whare o tona whaea.
Pea naʻe lele ʻae taʻahine, ʻo fakahā ki he fale ʻo ʻene faʻē, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
29 Na, he tungane to Ripeka, ko Rapana tona ingoa; na ka rere a Rapana ki taua tangata, ki waho, ki te puna.
Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tuongaʻane ʻo Lepeka ko Lepani hono hingoa; pea lele kituʻa ʻa Lepani ki he tangata, ʻi he vaikeli.
30 Na, i tona kitenga i te whakakai me nga poroporo i nga ringa o tona tuahine, a ka rongo hoki ki nga kupu a Ripeka, a tona tuahine, i mea ra, I penei nga korero a taua tangata ki ahau; ka haere ia ki taua tangata; na, i te taha ia o nga kamera, i te puna wai e tu ana;
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene mamata ki he hau, mo e lelu ʻi he nima ʻo hono tuofefine, pea mo ʻene fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Lepeka ko hono tuofefine, ʻo pehē, naʻe lea pehē mai ʻae tangata kiate au; pea haʻu leva ia ki he tangata; pea vakai naʻe tuʻu ia ʻo ofi ki he fanga kāmeli ʻi he veʻe vaikeli.
31 A ka mea, Tomo mai, e te manaakitanga a Ihowa; he aha koe i tu ai i waho? kua oti hoki i ahau te whare te whakapai, me tetahi wahi mo nga kamera.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Haʻu ki heni, ʻa koe ko e monūʻia ʻo Sihova; ko e hā ʻoku ke kei tuʻu ai ʻi tuaʻā? He kuo ʻosi ʻeku teu ʻae fale, mo e potu ki he fanga kāmeli.
32 Na ka haere taua tangata ki te whare, a wetekina ana e ia nga mea o nga kamera; i homai ano e ia he kakau witi me tetahi otaota hei kai ma nga kararehe, me te wai hei horoi mo ona waewae, mo nga waewae hoki o ona hoa.
Pea naʻe hū ʻae tangata ki he fale; pea ne vete ʻae fanga kāmeli, pea ne ʻatu ʻae mohuku mo e meʻakai ki he fanga kāmeli, mo e vai ke fufulu ai hono vaʻe mo e vaʻe ʻoe kau tangata naʻe ʻiate ia.
33 Na ka whakatakotoria he kai ki tona aroaro; otiia ka mea ia, E kore ahau e kai, kia korerotia ra ano e ahau taku haere. Ka mea tera, Korero.
Pea naʻe tuku ʻi hono ʻao ʻae meʻakai: ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u kai, kaeʻoua muʻa ke u fakahā ʻeku fekau,” pea ne pehē, “Ke ke lea.”
34 Na ka mea ia, He pononga ahau na Aperahama.
Pea ne pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e tamaioʻeiki au ʻa ʻEpalahame,
35 A kua manaakitia rawatia toku ariki e Ihowa; kua nui ia; a kua homai hoki ki a ia he hipi, he kau, he hiriwa, he koura, he pononga tane, he pononga wahine, he kamera, he kaihe.
Pea kuo tāpuaki lahi ʻe Sihova ʻeku ʻeiki; pea kuo hoko ia ʻo lahi: pea kuo ne foaki kiate ia ʻae fanga sipi, mo fanga manu, mo e siliva, mo e koula, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki mo e kau kaunanga, mo e fanga kāmeli, mo e fanga ʻasi.
36 A kua whanau he tama ma toku ariki i a Hara, i te wahine a toku ariki, i a ia kua ruruhitia: a kua hoatu e ia ana mea katoa ki a ia.
Pea ko Sela, ko e uaifi ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki naʻa ne fanauʻi ki heʻeku ʻeiki ʻae tama heʻene motuʻa; pea kuo ne tuku ʻa ʻene meʻa kotoa pē kiate ia.
37 Na i whakaoati toku ariki i ahau, i mea mai, Kei tangohia e koe he wahine ma taku tama i roto i nga tamahine a nga Kanaani, e noho nei ahau i to ratou whenua:
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe heʻeku ʻeiki kiate au ke u fuakava, ʻo pehē, ‘E ʻikai te ke fili ha uaifi ki hoku foha mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kakai Kēnani, ʻaia ʻoku ʻonautolu ʻae fonua ʻoku ou nofo ai;’
38 Engari me haere koe ki te whare o toku papa, ki oku whanaunga ka tango ai i tetahi wahine ma taku tama.
Ka ke ʻalu ki he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai mo hoku kāinga, ʻo ʻomi mei ai ha uaifi ki hoku foha.
39 Ano ra ko ahau ki toku ariki, E kore pea te wahine e whai mai i ahau.
Pea naʻaku pehē ki heʻeku ʻeiki, ‘Ka e fēfē ʻoka ʻikai fie haʻu ʻae fefine mo au?’
40 A ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Ma Ihowa, kei tona aroaro nei toku haereerenga, mana e tono tana anahera hei hoa mou, mana hoki e whakatika tou ara; a ka tango mai koe i tetahi wahine ma taku tama i roto i oku whanaunga, i roto hoki i te whare o toku p apa:
Pea pehē mai ʻe ia kiate au, ‘Ko Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ou ʻalu ʻi hono ʻao, te ne fekau ʻene ʻāngelo ke ʻalu mo koe ʻo fakamonūʻia hoʻo ʻalu; pea te ke ʻomi ha uaifi ki hoku foha mei hoku kāinga mo e fale ʻo ʻeku tamai:
41 Katahi koe ka watea i taku oati, ki te haere koe ki oku whanaunga; a ki te kahore e homai e ratou ki a koe, na, ka watea koe i taku oati.
Pea te ke ʻataʻatā mei heʻeku fuakava ni, ʻoka ke ka hoko ki hoku kāinga, pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau tuku ha tokotaha kiate koe, pea te ke ʻataʻatā mei he ʻe tā fuakava ni.’
42 I haere mai ahau i tenei ra ki te puna, a ka mea ahau, E Ihowa, e te Atua o toku ariki, o Aperahama, ki te mea e whakatika ana koe i toku ara e haere nei ahau:
Pea naʻaku haʻu he ʻaho ni ki he vaikeli pea u pehē, ‘E Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, kapau ʻoku ke fakamonūʻia hoku hala, ʻaia ʻoku ou ʻalu ai:
43 Na, tenei ahau te tu nei i te taha o te puna wai; a ko te kotiro e puta mai ki te utu, a ka mea ahau ki a ia, Homai he wahi wai moku i tau oko kia inu ahau;
Vakai ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi he veʻe vaikeli pea te u pehē, ʻoka haʻu ha taʻahine ke utu vai, te u pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku mai ha vai siʻi ʻi hoʻo hina ke u inu:’
44 A ka mea mai ia ki ahau, E inu, a me utu ano e ahau mo au kamera: kia rite ia i a Ihowa hei wahine ma te tama a toku ariki.
Pea kapau te ne pehē mai kiate au, ‘Inu koe, pea te u utu ha vai ki hoʻo fanga kāmeli foki,’ ʻofa ko e fefine ko ia kuo fili ʻe Sihova ki he foha ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki.
45 Kiano i mutu noa taku korero i roto i toku ngakau, na, ko te putanga ake o Ripeka me tana oko i runga i tona pokohiwi: kua heke ki te poka ki te tu: na ka mea ahau ki a ia, Kia inu ahau, ne?
Pea naʻe teʻeki ai ʻosi ʻeku lea ʻi hoku loto, mo ʻene hoko mai ʻa Lepeka mo ʻene hina ʻi hono uma: pea hifo ia ki he vai, ʻo utu, pea ne u pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe tuku mai ke u inu.’
46 Na ka hohoro ia, ka tuku i tana oko i tona pokohiwi, a ka mea mai, E inu, me whakainu ano e ahau au kamera: na inu ana ahau, a i whakainumia ano hoki e ia nga kamera.
Pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ia ʻo tuku hifo ʻene hina mei hono uma, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Inu, pea te u fakainu hoʻo fanga kāmeli foki; pea u inu, pea naʻa ne fakainu ʻae fanga kāmeli foki.
47 Na ka ui ahau ki a ia, He tamahine koe na wai? A ka mea mai ia, He tamahine na Petuere, tama a Nahora, i whanau nei ma raua ko Mireka: na kuhua ana e ahau te whakakai ki tona ihu, me nga poroporo ki ona ringa.
Pea naʻaku fehuʻi kiate ia ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e ʻofefine ʻohai koe?’ Pea pehē ʻe ia, ‘Ko e ʻofefine ʻo Petueli, ko e foha ʻo Nehoa ʻaia naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Milika kiate ia: pea naʻaku ai ʻae hau ki hono mata, mo e lelu ki hono nima.’
48 Na ka tuohu ahau, ka koropiko ki a Ihowa, ka whakapai hoki i a Ihowa, i te Atua o toku ariki, o Aperahama, mona i raahi i ahau i te huarahi tika ki te tiki mai i te tamahine a te teina o toku ariki ma tana tama.
Pea punou hifo hoku mata ʻo hū mo e fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, ʻaia naʻe tataki au ʻi he hala totonu ke ʻave ʻae ʻofefine ʻoe tokoua ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki ki hono foha.
49 Na, ki te mea he aroha to koutou, he mahi pono ki toku ariki, korero mai ki ahau: ki te kahore, korero mai; kia tahuri ake ai ahau ki matau ranei, ki maui ranei.
Pea ko eni, kapau te mou fai ʻofa mo totonu, ki heʻeku ʻeiki, tala mai, pea ka ʻikai, tala mai, koeʻuhi ke u afe ki he nima toʻomataʻu, pe ki he toʻohema.”
50 Na ka whakahoki a Rapana raua ko Petuere, ka mea, I puta mai tenei mea i a Ihowa; e kore e taea e maua te korero ki a koe te pai, te kino ranei.
Pea lea ʻa Lepani mo Petueli, ʻo pehēange, “ʻOku haʻu ʻae meʻa ni meia Sihova; pea ʻoku ʻikai te ma faʻa lea ʻaki kiate koe ʻae kovi pe ko e lelei;
51 Nana, kei tou aroaro a Ripeka, tangohia, haere, a kia meinga ia hei wahine ma te tama a tou ariki, hei pera me ta Ihowa i korero ai.
Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻa Lepeka, toʻo ia, pea ʻalu, pea ke hoko ia ko e uaifi ki he foha ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.”
52 A ka rongo te pononga a Aperahama i a raua korero, na piko ana ia ki te whenua, ki a Ihowa.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he ngaahi lea ni, naʻe hū ia kia Sihova, ʻo ne punou ki he kelekele;
53 Na ka tangohia ake e te pononga he mea hiriwa, he mea koura, he kakahu hoki, a hoatu ana e ia ki a Ripeka: a i hoatu e ia etahi mea tino papai ki tona tungane raua ko tona whaea.
Pea toʻo ʻe he tamaioʻeiki ʻae ngaahi teunga siliva, mo e ngaahi teunga koula, mo e ngaahi kofu, ʻo ne foaki ia kia Lepeka; pea ne foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga ki hono tuongaʻane, mo ʻene faʻē.
54 Na ka kai ratou, ka inu, ratou tahi ko ona hoa haere, a moe iho i te po; a i te ata ka oho ratou, ka mea atu ia, Tukua ahau kia haere ki toku ariki.
Pea naʻa nau kai mo inu, ko ia mo e kau tangata naʻe ʻiate ia, pea nau mohe ʻi he pō ko ia: pea nau tuʻu hake ʻi he pongipongi, pea naʻa ne pehē, “Tuku au ke u ʻalu ki heʻeku ʻeiki.”
55 Na ka mea tona tungane raua ko tona whaea, Waiho te kotiro i a matou mo etahi ra torutoru, kia kotahi tekau pea; muri iho ka haere.
Pea pehēange ʻe hono tuongaʻane mo ʻene faʻē, “Tuku muʻa ke mau nonofo mo e taʻahine ʻi he ʻaho niʻihi, ʻae ʻaho ʻe hongofulu nai; pea hili ia ʻe toki ʻalu atu.”
56 Na ka mea ia ki a raua, Kaua ahau e whakawarea, kua whakatikaia nei hoki toku ara e Ihowa; tukua ahau kia haere ki toku ariki.
Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “ʻOua te mo taʻofi au, he kuo fakamonūʻia ʻe Sihova hoku hala: tuku au ke u ʻalu ki heʻeku ʻeiki.”
57 Na ka mea raua, Me karanga e maua te kotiro, ka ui ai ki tona mangai.
Pea naʻa na pehē, “Te ma ui ʻae taʻahine ʻo fehuʻi mei hono ngutu.”
58 Na ka karangatia e raua a Ripeka, ka mea ki a ia, Ka haere ranei koe i te tangata nei? Ka mea ia, Ka haere.
Pea naʻa na ui ʻa Lepeka, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Te ke ʻalu mo e tangata ni?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Te u ʻalu.”
59 Na tukua ana e ratou a Ripeka, to ratou tuahine, ratou ko tona kaiwhakangote, ko te pononga hoki a Aperahama, me ana tangata.
Pea naʻa nau tuku ʻa Lepeka ko honau tuofefine ke ne ʻalu mo hono fefine tauhi, mo e tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻEpalahame, mo ʻene kau tangata.
60 Na ka manaaki ratou i a Ripeka, ka mea ki a ia, E to matou tuahine, kia meinga koe hei whaea mo nga mano tini, a kia riro i ou uri te kuwaha o o ratou hoariri.
Pea naʻa nau tāpuaki ʻa Lepeka ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko homau tuofefine koe, ʻofa ke ke hoko koe ko e faʻē ʻoe ngaahi toko afe taʻefaʻalaua, pea ke maʻu ʻe ho hako ʻae matapā ʻonautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe.”
61 Na ka whakatika a Ripeka, ratou ko ana kotiro, a eke ana ki runga ki nga kamera, aru ana i taua tangata: na, ka mauria e taua pononga a Ripeka, a haere ana.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Lepeka mo hono kau fefine, pea nau heka ʻi he fanga kāmeli ʻo muimui ki he tangata; pea ʻave ʻa Lepeka ʻe he tamaioʻeiki, pea fononga ʻi hono hala.
62 Na ka hoki mai a Ihaka i te haere i Peererahairoi; i te wahi hoki ki te tonga ia e noho ana.
Ka naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻAisake ʻi he hala mei he vai ko Lehai-Loʻai; he naʻa ne nofo ʻi he potu tonga.
63 A ka puta atu a Ihaka ki te parae i te tuahiahi ki te whakaaroaro: na ka maranga ake ona kanohi, ka titiro, na ko nga kamera e haere mai ana.
Pea ʻalu atu ʻa ʻAisake ki he ngoue ʻi he efiafi, ke ne lotu; pea ne hanga hake hono mata ʻo sio, pea vakai ʻoku haʻu ʻae fanga kāmeli.
64 A ka whakaara ake a Ripeka i ona kanohi, a, no tona kitenga i a Ihaka, ka marere ia ki raro i te kamera.
Pea hanga hake ʻe Lepeka hono mata, pea ʻi heʻene mamata kia ʻAisake, naʻe ʻalu hifo ia mei he kāmeli.
65 A ka mea atu ia ki te pononga, Ko wai tenei tangata e haere mai nei i te parae ki te whakatau i a tatou? Ano ra ko te pononga, Ko toku ariki tena: na ka mau ia ki tetahi arai kanohi, ka hipoki i a ia.
He kuo ʻosi ʻene fehuʻi ki he tamaioʻeiki, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko hai ʻae tangata ko ia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he ngoue ke fakafetaulaki mai kiate kitautolu?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tamaioʻeiki, “Ko ʻeku ʻeiki ia: ko ia naʻa ne toʻo ai ʻae pulupulu, ʻo fakapulou ʻaki ia.”
66 Na ka korerotia e te pononga ki a Ihaka nga mea katoa i mea ai ia.
Pea naʻe fakamatala ʻe he tamaioʻeiki kia ʻAisake ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fai.
67 Na ka kawea ia e Ihaka ki te teneti o tona whaea, o Hara, a tangohia ana e ia a Ripeka, a ka noho ia hei wahine mana; a ka aroha ia ki a ia: a ka whai tanga manawa a Ihaka i muri i te matenga o tona whaea.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ia ʻe ʻAisake ki he fale fehikitaki ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Sela, pea ne maʻu ʻa Lepeka, pea hoko ia ko hono uaifi: pea ʻofa ia kiate ia; pea naʻe fiemālie ʻa ʻAisake ʻi he hili ange [ʻae pekia ]o ʻene faʻē.
