< Kenehi 3 >

1 Na ko te nakahi he mohio rawa i nga kirehe katoa o te parae i hanga nei e Ihowa, e te Atua. Na ko tana meatanga ki te wahine, Koia, i mea ano te Atua, Kaua e kainga e korua nga hua o tetahi rakau o te kari?
Pea naʻe olopoto lahi hake ʻae ngata ʻi he manu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua. Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he fefine, “ʻOku moʻoni koā kuo pehē ʻe he ʻOtua, ‘ʻE ʻikai te mo kai ʻi he ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue?’”
2 A ka mea te wahine ki te nakahi, E kai ano maua i nga hua o nga rakau o te kari:
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine ki he ngata, “ʻOku ngofua ʻema kai ʻi he fua ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau ʻoe ngoue:
3 Ko nga hua ia o te rakau i waenganui o te kari, kua mea mai te Atua, Kaua korua e kai i tetahi o ona hua, kaua ano hoki e pa ki reira, kei mate korua.
Ka ko e fua ʻoe ʻakau ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he loto ngoue, kuo folofola mai ʻe he ʻOtua, ‘ʻE ʻikai te mo kai ai, pea ʻe ʻikai te mo ala ki ai, telia naʻa mo mate.’”
4 Na ko te meatanga a te nakahi ki te wahine, E kore korua e mate rawa:
Pea pehē ʻe he ngata ki he fefine, “ʻOku ʻikai moʻoni te mo mate.
5 Erangi e mohio ana te Atua ko te ra e kai ai korua i tetahi o ona hua, katahi ka marama o korua kanohi, a ka rite korua ki te Atua, ka mohio ki te pai, ki te kino.
He ʻoku ʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi he ʻaho te mo kai ai, ʻe toki ʻā ai homo mata, pea te mo hangē ko e ʻotua, ke ʻilo ai ʻae lelei mo e kovi.”
6 A, i te kitenga o te wahine he pai te rakau ra hei kai, he ahuareka ki te titiro atu, he rakau hoki e minaminatia hei whakamohio, na ka tango ia i etahi o ona hua, ka kai, ka hoatu hoki ki tana tahu i tona taha; a kai ana ia.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe he fefine ʻoku lelei ʻae ʻakau ki he kai, mo matamatalelei ki he mata, pea ko e ʻakau ke velevele ki ai ke fakapotoʻi, naʻa ne toʻo ai hono fua, ʻo kai, pea naʻa ne ʻange foki ki hono ʻhusepāniti, pea naʻa ne kai.
7 Na ka marama o raua kanohi tahi, ka mohio raua kei te tu tahanga raua; na ka tuia e raua etahi rau piki, meatia ana hei rapaki mo raua.
Pea naʻe ʻā ai ʻae mata ʻokinaua ʻosi pe, pea na ʻilo kuo na telefua; pea naʻa na tui ʻae lou fiki, ʻona vala ʻaki ia.
8 A ka rongo raua i te reo o Ihowa, o te Atua, e haereere ana i te kari i te hauhautanga o te ra: a ka piri a Arama raua ko tana wahine i te aroaro o Ihowa, o te Atua, ki roto ki nga rakau o te kari.
Pea naʻa na fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻi he ʻalu ʻi he ngoue ʻi he mokomoko ʻoe ʻaho: pea naʻe toitoi ʻa ʻAtama mo hono uaifi, mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻi he ngaahi ʻakau ʻoe ngoue.
9 Na ka karanga a Ihowa, te Atua, ki a Arama, ka mea ki a ia, Kei hea koe?
Pea naʻe ui ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua kia ʻAtama, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻi fē?”
10 A ka mea ia, I rongo ahau ki tou reo i te kari, a wehi ana ahau, noku i tu tahanga; na piri ana ahau.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻaku fanongo ki ho leʻo ʻi he ngoue, pea naʻaku manavahē, koeʻuhi kuo u telefua; pea u toitoi ai.”
11 Na ka mea ia, Na wai i mea ki a koe e tu tahanga ana koe? Kua kainga ranei e koe etahi o nga hua o te rakau i kiia atu ra e ahau ki a koe, Kaua ona hua e kainga?
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hai kuo fakahā kiate koe ʻoku ke telefua? Kuo ke kai ʻi he ʻakau, ʻaia naʻaku fekau kiate koe, ke ʻoua naʻa ke kai ai?”
12 Na ka mea te tangata ra, Na te wahine i homai nei e koe hei hoa moku, nana i homai etahi o nga hua o te rakau ki ahau, a kainga ana e ahau.
Pea pehē ʻe he tangata, “Ko e fefine ʻaia naʻa ke foaki ke ma nonofo, naʻe ʻomi ʻe ia kiate au mei he ʻakau pea u kai ai.”
13 Na ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, ki te wahine, He aha tenei kua meatia nei e koe? Ka mea te wahine, Na te nakahi ahau i maminga, a kai ana ahau.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he fefine, “Ko e hā eni kuo ke fai?” Pea pehē ʻe he fefine, “Naʻe kākaaʻi au ʻe he ngata, pea u kai.”
14 Na ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, ki te nakahi, Mo tenei mahi au nui atu te kanga mou i o nga kararehe katoa, i o nga kirehe katoa o te parae; ko tou kopu hei haere mou, ko te puehu hei kai mau i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe:
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he ngata, “Koeʻuhi kuo ke fai eni, kuo ke malaʻia lahi hake ʻi he fanga manu lalata kotoa pē, mo e manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao; te ke ngaolo koe ʻi ho kete, pea te ke kai ʻae efu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo moʻui:
15 Ka whakatupuria hoki e ahau he pakanga ma korua ko te wahine, ma tou uri ratou ko tona uri; ka maru tou matenga i a ia, ka maru i a koe tona rekereke.
pea te u tuku ʻae taufehiʻa ʻiate koe mo e fefine, pea ki ho hako mo hono hako; ʻe laiki ʻe ia ho ʻulu, pea te ke fakavolu ʻe koe ʻa hono muivaʻe.”
16 Ka mea ia ki te wahine, Ka whakanuia rawatia e ahau tou mamae, me tou haputanga; ka mamae koe ina whanau tamariki; ka hiahia koe ki to tahu, ko ia ano hoki hei rangatira mou.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he fefine, “Te u fakalahi ʻaupito ʻa hoʻo mamahi ʻi hoʻo fanafanau: te ke fāʻeleʻi ʻae fānau ʻi he mamahi; pea ʻe ʻi ho husepāniti ʻa hoʻo holi, pea te ne puleʻi koe.”
17 A ka mea ia ki a Arama, Mo tou rongonga ki te reo o tau wahine, mo tau kainga hoki i te hua o te rakau i kiia atu e ahau ki a koe, i meatia atu ra, Kaua e kainga etahi o ona hua: ka oti te oneone te kanga mo tau mahi; ka kainga e koe ona hua i r unga i te mamae i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe;
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia ʻAtama, “Koeʻuhi kuo ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo ho uaifi, pea kuo ke kai ʻi he ʻakau ʻaia ne u fekau kiate koe, ‘Ke ʻoua naʻa ke kai ai:’ kuo malaʻia ʻae kelekele koeʻuhi ko koe; te ke kai mei ai ʻi he mamahi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo moʻui;
18 He tataramoa ano hoki, he tumatakuru ana e whakatupu ake ai mau; a ka kai koe i te otaota o te parae;
‌ʻe tupu mei ai kiate koe ʻae ʻakau talatala mo e talatalaʻāmoa; pea te ke kai ʻae ʻakau iiki ʻoe fonua;
19 Ma te werawera o tou mata e kai ai koe i te taro, a hoki noa koe ki te oneone; i tangohia mai nei hoki koe i reira: he puehu hoki koe, a ka hoki ano ki te puehu.
te ke kai ʻae meʻakai ʻi he kakava ʻo ho mata, kaeʻoua ke ke foki ki he kelekele; he naʻe toʻo koe mei ai: he ko e efu koe, pea te ke toe foki ki he efu.”
20 A i huaina e Arama te ingoa o tana wahine ko Iwi; no te mea ko te whaea ia o nga mea ora katoa.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe ʻAtama ʻae hingoa ʻo hono uaifi ko ʻIvi; koeʻuhi ko e faʻē ia ʻoe kakai moʻui kotoa pē.
21 Na ka hanga e Ihowa, e te atua, etahi kakahu hiako mo Arama raua ko tana wahine, a whakakakahuria ana raua.
Naʻe ngaohi foki ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua mei he kiliʻi manu, ʻae ngaahi kofu kia ʻAtama mo hono uaifi, pea naʻa ne fakakofuʻi ʻakinaua.
22 Na ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, Nana, kua rite nei te tangata ki tetahi o tatou, te mohio ki te pai, ki te kino: na kei totoro atu tona ringa aianei, kei tango i tetahi o nga hua o te rakau o te ora, kei kai, a ka ora tonu:
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “Vakai, kuo hoko ʻae tangata ke hangē ko ha taha ʻiate kitautolu, ke ne ʻilo ʻae lelei mo e kovi: pea ko eni, telia naʻa mafao atu ʻe ia hono nima, pea ne toli foki mei he ʻakau ʻoe moʻui, ʻo kai, pea moʻui ʻo taʻengata:”
23 Koia i tonoa atu ai ia e Ihowa, e te Atua, i te kari o Erene hei ngaki i te oneone i tangohia mai nei ia i reira.
Ko ia naʻe fekau atu ia ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua mei he ngoue ʻo ʻIteni, ke ne ngāue ki he kelekele ʻaia naʻe toʻo ia mei ai.
24 Heoi peia ana e ia te tangata; a whakanohoia ana ki te taha ki te rawhiti o te kari o Erene tetahi Kerupima, me tetahi hoari mura, he mea piupiu tonu ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha, hei tiaki i te huarahi ki te rakau o te ora.
Pea naʻa ne kapusi ai ʻae tangata pea ne tuku ki he [potu ]hahake ʻoe ngoue ʻo ʻIteni, ʻae selupimi, mo e heletā ulo, ʻaia naʻe foli fakatakamilo, ke leʻohi ʻae hala ʻoe ʻakau ʻoe moʻui.
