Kenehi 48

1 Na, i muri i enei mea, ka korerotia ki a Hohepa, Nana, e mate ana tou papa: a ka tango ia i ana tamariki tokorua, i a Manahi raua ko Eparaima, hei hoa mona.

Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe fakahā ʻe he tokotaha kia Siosefa ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku mahaki hoʻo tamai:” pea naʻa ne ʻave mo ia ʻa hono ongo foha, ko Manase, mo ʻIfalemi.

2 A ka korerotia ki a Hakopa, ka meatia, Na, ko Hohepa, ko tau tama, tenei te haere mai nei ki a koe: na ka whakakaha ake a Iharaira i a ia, a ka noho ki runga i te moenga.

Pea naʻe tala kia Sēkope, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ho foha ko Siosefa kiate koe: pea naʻe fakamālohi ʻe ʻIsileli ia, pea ne nofo hake ʻi he mohenga.”

3 Na ka mea a Hakopa ki a Hohepa, I puta mai te Atua Kaha Rawa ki ahau i Rutu, i te whenua o Kanaana, i manaaki i ahau,

Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope kia Siosefa, “Naʻe hā mai ʻae ʻOtua māfimafi kiate au ʻi Lusa ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻo ne tāpuaki au;

4 I mea ano ki ahau, Na, ka meinga koe e ahau kia hua, ka whakanui ahau i a koe, ka meinga hoki koe e ahau hei huinga iwi; a ka hoatu e ahau tenei whenua ki ou uri i muri i a koe hei kainga pumau.

‌ʻo ne pehē mai kiate au, ‘Vakai, te u ngaohi koe ke ke monūʻia, mo ke tupu ʻo tokolahi, pea te u fakatupu ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi kakai lahi; pea te u foaki ʻae fonua ni ki ho hako ki mui ʻiate koe, ko e nofoʻanga maʻu ʻo taʻengata.’”

5 Na, ko au tama tokorua, ko Eparaima raua ko Manahi, i whanau nei mau ki te whenua o Ihipa i mua ake o toku taenga mai ki a koe, ki Ihipa, maku ena; ka riro mai raua i ahau, ka pera ano me Reupena raua ko Himiona.

“Pea ko eni, ko ho ongo foha ko ʻIfalemi, mo Manase, naʻe fānau kiate koe ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he teʻeki ai te u haʻu ki ʻIsipite, ʻoku ʻoʻoku ʻakinaua; ʻo hangē ko Lupeni mo Simione, ʻe ʻoʻoku ʻakinaua.

6 A, ko tau whanau e whanau mau i muri i a raua, mau ena; ka huaina ki a ratou te ingoa o o ratou tuakana i to ratou kainga pumau.

Pea ko hoʻo fānau te ke fakatupu kimui ʻiate kinaua, ʻe ʻoʻou ia, pea ʻe ui ʻakinautolu ʻi he hingoa ʻo honau kāinga ʻi honau tofiʻa.

7 Ko ahau hoki, i toku haerenga mai i Parana, ka mate a Rahera ki toku taha, ki te whenua o Kanaana, ki te ara, e takoto mai ana he wahi e haere atu ai ki Eparata: a tanumia ana e ahau ki reira ki te ara ki Eparata, ara ki Peterehema.

Pea ko au, ʻi heʻeku haʻu mei Petana, naʻe pekia ʻa Lesieli ʻo ofi kiate au ʻi he hala, ka naʻe toetoe siʻi pe, pea mau hoko ki ʻEfelata pea naʻaku tanu ia ʻi he hala ki ʻEfelata ʻaia ko Petelihema.”

8 A ka kite a Iharaira i nga tama a Hohepa, ka mea, Ko wai enei?

Pea naʻe sio ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ongo foha ʻo Siosefa, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hai ʻakinaua?”

9 A ka mea a Hohepa ki tona papa, Ko aku tama enei i homai e te Atua ki ahau i konei. Ka mea ia, Nekehia mai nei ki ahau, kia manaaki ai ahau i a raua.

Pea pehēange ʻe Siosefa ki heʻene tamai, “Ko hoku ongo foha ʻakinaua, kuo foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au, ʻi he fonua ni.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻomi ʻakinaua kiate au, pea te u tāpuaki ʻakinaua.”

10 Na he atarua nga kanohi o Iharaira, na te koroheke hoki, kihai ia i ahei te kite atu. Na ka whakatata ia i a raua ki a ia; a ka kihi ia i a raua, ka wahi hoki i a raua.

Pea naʻe kui ʻae mata ʻo ʻIsileli ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene motuʻa, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te ne faʻa sio. Pea ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ʻo ofi kiate ia; pea naʻa ne ʻuma kiate kinaua ʻo ne fāʻufua ʻakinaua.

11 Na ka mea a Iharaira ki a Hohepa, Kihai ahau i mea ka kite ahau i tou mata: kua whakakitea mai nei ano hoki e te Atua ou uri ki ahau.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsileli kia Siosefa, “Naʻe ʻikai te u ʻamanaki ke u mamata ki ho mata; pea vakai, kuo fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au ho hako foki.”

12 Na ka nekehia atu raua e Hohepa i roto i ona turi, a ka piko tona mata ki te whenua.

Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻakinaua ʻe Siosefa mei hono tui, pea ne tulolo ia mo hono mata ki he kelekele.

13 Na ka puritia raua e Hohepa, a Eparaima e tona ringa matau ki te maui o Iharaira, a Manahi e tona maui ki te matau o Iharaira, a ka whakatata atu ia i a raua ki a ia.

Pea ʻave ʻakinaua ʻe Siosefa, ko ʻIfalemi ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hanga atu ki he nima toʻohema ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Manase ʻi hono toʻohema ʻo hanga atu ki he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ke ofi kiate ia.

14 Na ka torona e Iharaira tona ringa matau, a whakatakotoria ana e ia ki runga ki te matenga o Eparaima, ko ia ano hoki te teina, me tona ringa maui hoki ki runga ki te matenga o Manahi, he ata whakatakoto hoki nana i ona ringa, ko Manahi hoki te matamua.

Pea naʻe mafao atu ʻe ʻIsileli hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hilifaki ia ki he ʻulu ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻaia ko e kimui, mo hono nima toʻohema ki he ʻulu ʻo Manase, ʻo ʻai fakapotopoto pe hono nima; he ko Manase, ko e ʻuluaki ia.

15 Na ka manaaki ai i a Hohepa, ka mea, Ma te Atua i haereere nei oku matua, a Aperahama raua ko Ihaka i tona aroaro, ma te Atua mana nei ahau i whangai i ahau i ora nei a taea moatia tenei ra,

Pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻa Siosefa ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻeku tamai ko ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, ko e ʻOtua naʻa ne fafanga au ʻi heʻeku moʻui kotoa pē ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni,

16 Ma te anahera nana nei ahau i whakaora i roto i nga he katoa, e manaaki enei tamariki; a kia huaina toku ingoa ki a raua, me te ingoa hoki o oku matua, o Aperahama raua ko Ihaka; a kia tino nui haere raua i waenganui i te whenua.

Ko e ʻāngelo ʻaia naʻa ne huhuʻi au mei he kovi kotoa pē, tāpuakiʻi ʻae ongo tama; pea ke ui hoku hingoa kiate kinaua, mo e hingoa ʻo ʻeku tamai ko ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake; pea tuku ke na tupu ko e kakai tokolahi ʻi māmani.”

17 A, no te kitenga o Hohepa kua whakatakotoria e tona papa tona matau ki runga ki te matenga o Eparaima, ka kino ki tana titiro: a ka whakarewaina ake e ia te ringa o tona papa, kia nekehia atu e ia i te matenga o Eparaima ki runga ki te matenga o Manahi.

Pea kuo mamata ʻa Siosefa kuo ʻai ʻe heʻene tamai hono nima toʻomataʻu ki he ʻulu ʻo ʻIfalemi, naʻa ne mamahi ai; pea ne hiki ʻae nima ʻo ʻene tamai ke ʻave ia mei he ʻulu ʻo ʻIfalemi ki he ʻulu ʻo Manase.

18 A ka mea a Hohepa ki tona papa, Kaua e pena, e toku papa; ko te tuakana hoki tenei; whakatakotoria tou matau ki runga ki tona matenga.

Pea pehē ʻe Siosefa ki heʻene tamai, “Ko ʻeku tamai ke ʻoua naʻa pehē, he ko e ʻuluaki eni: ʻai ho nima toʻomataʻu ki hono ʻulu.”

19 Na ka whakakahore tona papa, ka mea, E mohio ana ahau, e taku tama, e mohio ana ahau: ka whakatupu iwi ano tenei, ka nui ano hoki ia: otiia ka nui atu tona teina i a ia, a ka waiho ona uri hei iwi maha.

Pea naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe heʻene tamai, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou ʻilo, ko hoku foha, ʻoku ou ʻilo ia: ʻe hoko ia foki ko e kakai tokolahi, pea ʻe lahi ia foki; ka ko e moʻoni ʻe lahi hono tehina ʻiate ia, pea ʻe hoko hono hako ko e ngaahi puleʻanga lahi.”

20 Na ka manaaki ia i a raua i taua rangi, ka mea, Ko koe ta Iharaira manaakitanga, a ka korerotia, Kia meinga koe e te Atua kia rite ki a Eparaima, kia rite hoki ki a Manahi: na ka maka e ia a Eparaima ki mua i a Manahi.

Pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻakinaua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻE fai tāpuaki ʻe ʻIsileli ʻiate koe, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke ngaohi koe ʻe he ʻOtua ke tatau mo ʻIfalemi mo Manase:’ pea naʻa ne tuku ʻa ʻIfalemi ki muʻa ʻia Manase.

21 Na ka mea a Iharaira ki a Hohepa, Ka mate tenei ahau: hei a koutou ia te Atua, mana hoki koutou e whakahoki ki te whenua o o koutou matua.

Pea pehē ʻe ʻIsileli kia Siosefa, “Vakai teu mate au; ka ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻOtua, pea te ne toe ʻave ʻakinautolu ki he fonua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.

22 Na kotahi te wahi ka hoatu nei e ahau mou, e hira ake ai tou i to ou tuakana, ko taku hoki i tango ai i nga Amori ki taku hoari, ki taku kopere.

Pea ko eni foki, kuo u foaki kiate koe ʻae potu lahi hake ʻe taha ʻi ho ngaahi tokoua, ʻaia naʻaku maʻu mei he nima ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli, ʻaki ʻa ʻeku heletā, mo ʻeku kaufana.”
