Hohea 9
1 Kei koa koe, e Iharaira, kei whakamanamana, kei pera me era atu iwi; kua whakarerea na hoki e koe tou Atua, kua puremu, arohaina ana e koe te utu i nga wahi katoa e patua ai te witi.
ʻOua naʻa ke nekeneka, ʻe ʻIsileli, ʻi he fiefia, hangē ko e kakai kehe: he kuo ke ʻalu ʻo feʻauaki mei ho ʻOtua, kuo ke manako ʻae totongi ʻi he hahaʻanga koane kotoa pē.
2 E kore ratou e whangaia e te patunga witi, e te poka waina, a ka tinihanga tana waina hou.
Ko e hahaʻanga, mo e tataʻoʻanga uaine ʻe ʻikai fafanga ai ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻae uaine foʻou.
3 E kore ratou e noho ki te whenua o Ihowa; engari ka hoki a Eparaima ki Ihipa; a ka kai ratou i te mea poke ki Ahiria.
ʻE ʻikai te nau nofo ʻi he fonua ʻo Sihova; ka ʻe tafoki ʻa ʻIfalemi ki ʻIsipite, pea te nau kai ʻae meʻa taʻemaʻa ʻi ʻAsilia.
4 E kore e ringihia e ratou he ringihanga waina ki a Ihowa, e kore ano aua mea e arongia e ia: ko a ratou patunga tapu ka pera ki a ratou me te taro tangi tupapaku; ka poke katoa te hunga e kai ana: ko ta ratou taro hoki hei mea mo to ratou hiakai; e kore e tae ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa.
ʻE ʻikai te nau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae uaine kia Sihova, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fiemālie ai: ko ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau ʻe hangē ko e mā ʻae kau tangilāulau kiate kinautolu; ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kai ai te nau ʻuli ai: he ko e mā maʻa honau laumālie, ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
5 Ka pehea koutou i te ra o te huihui nui, a i te ra o ta Ihowa hakari?
Ko e hā te mou fai ʻi he ʻaho mamafa, pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe kātoanga ʻa Sihova?
6 Nana, kua riro ratou, kei ngaro, otiia ka kohikohia ratou e Ihipa, ka tanumia e Memepihi: ko a ratou mea ahuareka, hiriwa, ka riro i te ongaonga; ka tupu te tataramoa ki o ratou teneti.
He, vakai, kuo nau ʻalu koeʻuhi ko e fakaʻauha: ʻe tānaki ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻIsipite, ʻe tanu ʻakinautolu ʻe Memifisi: ko e ngaahi potu lelei ki heʻenau siliva, ʻe maʻu ia ʻe he hongohongo: ʻe ʻi honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻae ʻakau talatala.
7 Kua tae mai nga ra o te tirotiro, kua tae mai nga ra whakautu; ka mohio a Iharaira: he wairangi te poropiti, he haurangi te tangata i te wairua, he nui hoki no tou kino, he nui no te mauahara.
Ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ʻaʻahi kuo hoko, ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe totongi kuo hoko; ʻe ʻilo ia ʻe ʻIsileli, ‘Ko e palōfita ko e vale ia,’ ʻoku faha ʻae tangata fakalaumālie, ko e meʻa ʻi he lahi ʻo hoʻo hia, mo e fehiʻa lahi.
8 He kaitutei a Eparaima, i toku Atua ia; ko te poropiti, he mahanga ia na te kaiahere manu i ona ara katoa, he mauahara i roto i te whare o tona Atua.
Ko e tangata leʻo ʻo ʻIfalemi naʻe ʻi hoku ʻOtua: ka ko e palōfita ko e tauhele ʻae tangata tauhele manu ʻi hono hala kotoa pē, mo e fehiʻanekina ʻi he fale ʻo hono ʻOtua.
9 Kua heke to ratou tupu, a aua noa iho ki raro, e rite ana ki nga ra i Kipea: ka mahara ia ki to ratou he, ka tirotirohia e ia o ratou hara.
Kuo nau fakaʻuliʻi lahi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Kipea: ko ia te ne manatu ʻenau hia, te ne ʻaʻahi ki heʻenau angahala.
10 I toku tutakinga ki a Iharaira, i rite ratou ki te karepe i te koraha; i toku kitenga i o koutou matua i rite ratou ki te matamua o te piki i te mea katahi nei ka hua; heoi haere ana ratou ki a Paarapeoro, na wehe ana ratou i a ratou ki taua han ga whakama, mea ana kia whakarihariha ratou kia rite ki ta ratou i matenui ai.
Ne u ʻilo ʻa ʻIsileli hangē ko e kālepi ʻi he toafa; ne u mamata ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, hangē ko e tomuʻa momoho ʻi he ʻakau ko e fiki ʻi hono ʻuluaki toʻukai: ka ne nau ʻalu ki Peali-Peoli, pea mavahe ʻakinautolu ke nau mā; pea ko ʻenau ngaahi fakalielia naʻe tatau mo ʻenau manako.
11 Tena ko Eparaima, ka rere a manu atu to ratou kororia: kahore he mea e whanau, kahore he tamaiti i te kopu, a kahore he haputanga.
Ka ko ʻIfalemi, ʻe puna atu hono nāunau hangē ko e manupuna, mei he fāʻele, mo e manāva, pea mei he tuituʻia.
12 Ahakoa whakatupu noa ratou i a ratou tamariki, ka kore i ahau, a kore iho he tangata e mahue: ina, aue te mate mo ratou ua mahue ratou i ahau!
Neongo ʻoku nau tauhi ʻenau fānau, ka te u fakamasiva ʻakinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa toe ha tangata: ʻio, malaʻia foki kiate kinautolu ʻo kau ka mahuʻi meiate kinautolu!
13 Ko Eparaima, rite tonu ki toku kitenga i Taira, he mea whakato ki te wahi pai: otiia ka kawea ana tama e Eparaima ki waho, ki te kaikohuru.
ʻOku tō ʻa ʻIfalemi ʻi he potu lelei, hangē naʻaku mamata ki Taia; ka ʻe fanauʻi ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻa ʻene fānau ki he fakapō.
14 Hoatu ki a ratou, e Ihowa: ko te aha e hoatu e koe ki a ratou? hoatu ki a ratou he kopu whakatahe, he u maroke.
Foaki kiate kinautolu, ʻe Sihova: ko e hā te ke foaki? Foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae manāva tōtama mo e huhu maha.
15 Kei Kirikara to ratou kino katoa; a kino iho ahau ki a ratou ki reira: ka he nei a ratou mahi, ka peia ratou e ahau i roto i toku whare; heoi ano oku aroha ki a ratou: he hunga whakakeke o ratou rangatira katoa.
“Ko ʻenau angakovi kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi Kilikali: he naʻe ʻi ai ʻeku fehiʻa kiate kinautolu: koeʻuhi ko e kovi ʻo ʻenau faianga, te u kapusi ʻakinautolu mei hoku fale, ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻofa kiate kinautolu: ko e kau angatuʻu ʻa honau houʻeiki kotoa pē.
16 Kua patua a Eparaima, kua maroke to ratou pakiaka, kore ake o ratou hua; ae ra, ahakoa whanau noa ratou, ka mate ano i ahau te mea e matenuitia ana, te hua o to ratou kopu.
Kuo taaʻi ʻa ʻIfalemi, kuo mōmoa honau aka, ʻe ʻikai te nau fua: ʻio, neongo ʻoku nau fānau, ka te u tāmateʻi ʻae ʻofeina ʻa honau manāva.”
17 Ka paopao toku Atua ki a ratou, mo ratou kihai i rongo ki a ia: a ka waiho ratou hei kopikopiko i roto i nga tauiwi.
Ko hoku ʻOtua te ne liʻaki ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo kiate ia: pea te nau hoko ko e kau ʻāuhē ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga.
