Hohea 7
1 I ahau e mea ana ki te rongoa i a Iharaira, ka kitea te he o Eparaima, te kino hoki o Hamaria: no te mea e mahi ana ratou i te teka, e tomo ana hoki te tahae ki roto, e pahua ana te taua i waho.
ʻI he ʻeku tokanga ke fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe toki hā ʻae angahala ʻa ʻIfalemi, pea mo e angakovi ʻa Samēlia: he ʻoku nau fai kākā; pea ʻoku hū ki loto ʻae kaihaʻa, pea ʻoku maumau ʻituʻa ʻe he fakataha ʻoe kau kaihaʻa.
2 A kahore a ratou meatanga ake i roto i o ratou ngakau, kei te mahara tenei ahau ki to ratou kino katoa: kua karapotia ratou inaianei e a ratou mahi; tenei ano kei toku aroaro.
Pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau tokanga ʻi honau loto, ʻoku ou manatu ki heʻenau angakovi kotoa pē: ko eni, ʻoku kāpui ʻakinautolu ʻe heʻenau faianga ʻanautolu; ʻoku ʻi hoku ʻao ia.
3 Ka meinga e ratou te kingi kia koa ki ta ratou kino, nga rangatira hoki ki a ratou teka.
ʻOku nau fakafiefiaʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻi heʻenau angakovi, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻi heʻenau ngaahi loi.
4 He hunga puremu katoa ratou; ko to ratou rite kei te oumu kua oti te tahu e te kaipokepoke; ka mutu tana tutaki i te ahi, i muri iho i te pokepokenga i te paraoa a kia rewenatia ra ano.
Ko e kau feʻauaki ʻakinautolu kotoa pē: ʻo hangē ko e ngotoʻumu kuo fakaʻafu ʻe he tangata taʻo mā, ʻoku ne tuku ia hili ʻene natu ʻae mā, kaeʻoua ke tupu.
5 I te ra o to tatou kingi i mate nga rangatira i a ratou ano, na te tahu a te waina; ko tona ringa maro tonu i roto i te hunga taunu.
ʻI he ʻaho ʻo hotau tuʻi kuo fakakona ia ʻe he houʻeiki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi hina uaine; naʻa ne mafao hono nima mo e kau manuki.
6 Ano he oumu o ratou ngakau, i a ratou e whakatata ana, e whanga ana: pau ake te po i ta ratou kaipokepoke e moe ana; i te ata ka tonu taua oumu, ano he mura ahi.
Kuo nau teuteu honau loto hangē ko e ngotoʻumu, ʻi heʻenau kei lama: ʻoku mohe ʻi he pō kotoa ʻenau tangata taʻo mā; ʻi he pongipongi ʻoku vela ia hangē ko e afi ulo.
7 Werawera katoa ratou me he oumu, pau ake i a ratou o ratou kaiwhakawa; kua hinga katoa o ratou kingi: kahore tetahi o ratou e karanga ana ki ahau.
ʻOku nau vela kotoa pē hangē ko e ngotoʻumu; kuo nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻenau kau fakamaau; kuo hinga honau ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē: ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ui kiate au.
8 Ko Eparaima, kei te hanumi ia ki roto ki nga iwi; he keke a Eparaima kihai i hurihia.
Kuo fakataha ia mo e kakai ʻa ʻIfalemi; ko e foʻi mā taʻefokihi ʻa ʻIfalemi.
9 Kua pau tona kaha i nga tautangata, heoi kahore ia e mohio: ina, kua wero te hina i konei, i ko ona, a kahore ia e mohio.
Kuo kai hono mālohi ʻe he kau muli, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo; ʻio, ko e louʻulu hinehina ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻi heni mo ʻena, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ia.
10 Ko te whakapehapeha o Iharaira e whakaatu ana ki tona aroaro: heoi kihai ratou i hoki ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua, a ahakoa ko tenei katoa, kahore ratou i rapu i a ia.
Pea ko e fielahi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoku fakatōhifo ia ʻi hono ʻao: pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau tafoki kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pe kumi kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
11 E rite ana hoki a Eparima ki te kukupa wairangi, kahore nei ona ngakau: e karanga ana ratou ki Ihipa, e haere ana ratou ki Ahiria.
“ʻOku hangē foki ʻa ʻIfalemi ko e lupe vale ʻoku ʻikai hano loto: ʻoku nau ui ki ʻIsipite, pea nau ʻalu ki ʻAsilia.
12 Ka haere ratou, ka potaea e ahau taku kupenga ki runga ki a ratou: ka riro ratou i ahau ki raro, ka pera i nga manu o te rangi; ka whiua ratou e ahau, ka peratia me ta o ratou whakaminenga i rongo ai.
ʻOka nau ka ʻalu te u fola hoku kupenga kiate kinautolu; te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki lalo ʻo hangē ko e fanga manupuna ʻoe langi: te u tautea ʻakinautolu, ʻo fakatatau mo e fanongo ʻa ʻenau fakataha.
13 Aue te mate mo ratou! kua rere atu nei hoki ratou i ahau: ko te ngaromanga mo ratou mo ta ratou takahi i taku: i hokona ano ratou e ahau, heoi kei te korero ratou i nga kupu teka moku.
Malaʻia kiate kinautolu! He kuo nau hola meiate au: fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu! Koeʻuhi kuo nau talangataʻa kiate au: neongo ʻa ʻeku huhuʻi ʻakinautolu, kuo nau lea loi kiate au.
14 Kahore hoki ratou i karanga ki ahau, he mea na o ratou ngakau, engari e aue ana ratou i runga i o ratou moenga; e huihui ana ratou, he whakaaro ki te witi, ki te waina, a e whakakeke ana ratou ki ahau.
Pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau tangi kiate au, ʻaki honau loto ʻi heʻenau kaila ʻi honau mohenga: ʻoku nau fakataha ʻakinautolu ki he koane mo e uaine, pea ʻoku nau angatuʻu kiate au.
15 Ako noa ahau, whakakaha noa i o ratou ringa, heoi kino tonu to ratou whakaaro moku.
Neongo ʻeku nonoʻo mo fakamālohi honau nima, ka ʻoku nau filioʻi kovi kiate au.
16 E hoki ana ratou, ehara ia i te mea ki a ia i runga rawa: ko to ratou rite kei te kopere tinihanga: ka hinga o ratou rangatira i te hoari, he aritarita hoki no to ratou arero: hei mea tenei e kataina ai ratou ki te whenua o Ihipa.
ʻOku nau tafoki, kae ʻikai ki he Fungani Māʻolunga: ʻoku nau hangē ko e kaufana kākā: ʻe tō ʻi he heletā honau houʻeiki, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻita ʻa honau ʻelelo; ko honau manuki eni ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
