< Hohea 6 >

1 Haere mai, tatou ka hoki ki a Ihowa: nana hoki i haehae, a mana tatou e rongoa; nana i patu, mana ano tatou e takai.
“Haʻu, pea tuku ke tau tafoki kia Sihova: he kuo ne haeʻi, pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu; kuo ne taaʻi, pea te ne toe fakamaʻopoʻopo.
2 Kia rua nga ra ka whakaorangia tatou e ia; i te toru o nga ra ka whakaarahia tatou e ia, a ka ora tatou ki tona aroaro.
Hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe ua te ne toe fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu: ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho te ne toe fokotuʻu ʻakitautolu, pea te tau moʻui ʻi hono ʻao.
3 Na kia mohio tatou, kia whai atu tatou kia mohio ai ki a Ihowa; ko tona putanga tuturu tonu, koia ano kei to te ata, ko tona taenga mai ki a tatou rite tonu ki to te ua, ka rite ki to muri ua e makuku ai te whenua.
Pea te tau toki ʻilo ʻoka tau ka muimui atu ke ʻilo ʻa Sihova: ko ʻene ʻalu atu ʻoku teuteu ʻo hangē ko e pongipongi; pea te ne hoko kiate kitautolu ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha, ko e ʻuha mui mo e ʻuha muʻa ki he kelekele.
4 Me pehea koe e ahau, e Eparaima? Me pehea koe e ahau, e Hura? rite tonu hoki to koutou pai ki te kapua o te ata, ki te tomairangi o te atatu, e riro wawe atu ana.
“ʻE ʻIfalemi, Ko e hā te u fai kiate koe? ʻE Siuta, ko e hā te u fai kiate koe? He ko hoʻo lelei ʻoku hangē ko e ʻao ʻoe pongipongi, pea hangē ko e hahau ʻoe hengihengi ʻoku mole atu.
5 Na reira taku hahau i a ratou ki nga poropiti; tukitukia ana ratou e ahau ki nga kupu a toku mangai: rite tonu ano au whakaritenga ki te putanga ake o te marama.
Ko ia kuo u taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he kau palōfita; kuo u tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻa hoku ngutu: pea ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ʻoku hangē ko e maama ʻoku ulo atu.
6 Ko taku hoki i pai ai ko te tohu tangata, haunga te patunga tapu: ko te matau ki te Atua, pai ake i nga tahunga tinana.
He kuo u holi ki he ʻaloʻofa, kae ʻikai ki he feilaulau; pea ko e ʻilo ki he ʻOtua ʻo lahi hake ʻi he feilaulau.
7 Otiia kua pera ta ratou i ta Arama, kua whakataka e ratou te kawenata: kua tinihanga ratou ki ahau i reira.
Kae hangē ko e tangata kuo nau maumauʻi ʻae fuakava: kuo nau fai kākā ʻi ai kiate au.
8 He pa a Kireara no nga kaimahi i te he, poke tonu i te toto.
Ko e kolo ʻokinautolu ʻoku fai kovi ʻa Kiliati, pea ʻoku ʻuli ʻi he toto.
9 Rite tonu hoki ki ta nga taua pahua e whanga ana ki te tangata, ta te ropu o nga tohunga kohuru i te ara ki Hekeme; ae ra, kua mahi ratou i te he.
Hangē ʻoku tatali ʻe he fakataha ʻoe kau kaihaʻa ki ha tangata, ʻoku pehē ʻae fai fakapō ʻi he hala ʻe he fakataha ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ʻo loto tatau pe: he ʻoku nau fai angaʻuli.
10 He hanga whakawehi taku i kite ai ki te whare o Iharaira: he puremu e kitea ana ki Eparaima, kua poke a Iharaira.
Kuo u mamata ki ha meʻa fakailifia ʻi he fale ʻo ʻIsileli: ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae feʻauaki ʻa ʻIfalemi, kuo ʻuliʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.
11 Kua rite hoki he kotinga mau, e Hura, ina whakahokia mai e ahau taku iwi i te whakarau.
“Kuo tuʻutuʻuni foki, ʻe Siuta, ha ututaʻu kiate koe, ʻi heʻene liliu ʻae pōpula ʻa hoku kakai.
