Ihaia 28

1 Aue te he mo te karauna whakapehapeha o te hunga haurangi o Eparaima, ki te puawai memenge hoki o tona ataahua whakakororia, tera i te wahi ki runga o te awaawa momona o te hunga kua hinga i te waina!

Malaʻia ki he tatā ʻoe laukau, ki he kau konā ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku hangē ko e fisiʻiʻakau mae ʻa ʻenau toulekeleka ongoongolelei! Kiate kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ʻulu ʻoe vanu kelekele moʻui ʻonautolu ʻoku konā ʻi he uaine!

2 Nana, he mea kaha, he mea pakari ta te Ariki; koia ano kei te awha whatu, kei te tupuhi e wawahi ana, kei te waipuke, he wai nui e ngawha atu ana, ka taia iho ano e tona ringa ki te whenua.

Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he ʻEiki ha tokotaha māfimafi mo mālohi, ʻo hangē ko e taufa ʻuha maka, ʻo hangē ko e afā fulikele, ʻo hangē ko e tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi vai lahi ʻoku tafe mālohi, te ne tā hifo ki he kelekele ʻaki hono nima.

3 Ka takahia e nga waewae te karauna whakapehapeha o te hunga haurangi o Eparaima.

Ko e tatā ʻoe laukau, ʻae kakai konā ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻe molomoloki ʻi he lalo vaʻe:

4 A, ko te puawai memenge o tona ataahua whakakororia, kei te wahi nei ki runga o te awaawa momona, ka rite ki te hua matamua o te piki i te mea kahore ano te raumati; a, ka kite te mea i titiro atu, ka horomia e ia i te mea kei tona ringa ano.

Pea ko e toulekeleka ongoongolelei, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ʻulu ʻoe vanu kelekele moʻui, ʻe hoko ia ko e fisiʻiʻakau mae, pea hangē ko e fua tupu vave ʻi he teʻeki hoko ʻae faʻahitaʻu mafana: ʻaia ʻoku toli leva ʻe ia ʻoku mamata ki ai, pea ʻi heʻene ʻi hono nima ʻoku ne kai leva ia ʻo ʻosi.

5 I taua ra ko Ihowa o nga mano hei karauna kororia, hei potae ataahua ki nga morehu o tana iwi:

ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe hoko ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ko e tatā ongoongolelei, pea ko e pale fakasanisani, ki hono toe ʻo hono kakai,

6 Hei wairua whakawa ki te tangata e noho ana ki te whakawa, hei kaha mo te hunga e whakahoki ana i te whawhai i te kuwaha.

Pea ko e laumālie ʻoe fakamaau kiate ia ʻoku nofo ke fakamaau, pea ko e mālohi kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakafoki ʻae tau ki he matapā.

7 Otiia kua pohehe ano enei i te waina, a kua kototi ke i te wai kaha; ko te tohunga, ko te poropiti, kua pohehe i te wai kaha, kua horomia raua e te waina, a kua kotiti ke i te wai kaha; he titiro he ta raua, e tapepa ana ta raua whakawa.

Ka kuo nau hē ʻi he uaine, pea koeʻuhi ko e inu mālohi kuo nau hē mei he hala; kuo hē ʻae taulaʻeiki pea mo e palōfita ʻi he inu mālohi, ʻoku nau moʻua ki he uaine, kuo nau hē mei he hala ko e meʻa ʻi he inu mālohi; ʻoku ninimo honau mata, ʻoku nau humu ʻi he fakamaau.

8 Ki tonu hoki nga tepu katoa i te ruaki, i te paru, kahore he wahi ma.

He ʻoku fonu ʻae ngaahi keinangaʻanga kotoa pē ʻi he lua mo e fakalielia, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ha potu ʻoku maʻa.

9 Ko wai e whakaakona e ia ki te matauranga? ko wai e meinga e ia kia mohio ki te kupu? ko te hunga kua whakamutua ta ratou kai waiu, kua tangohia mai i te u?

Te ne ako kia hai ʻae ʻilo? Pea ko hai te ne akonakiʻi ke ne ʻilo ʻa ʻene akonaki? Ko kinautolu kuo fakamavae mei he huʻahuhu, pea kuo toʻo mei he huhu.

10 He whakahau nei hoki tenei i runga i te whakahau, he whakahau i runga i te whakahau; he ako i runga i te ako, he ako i runga i te ako; he iti ki konei, he iti ki ko ra.

He kuo ʻai ʻae fekau ki he fekau, ʻae fekau ki he fekau; ʻae ʻotu lea ki he ʻotu lea, ʻae ʻotu lea ki he ʻotu lea; ko e siʻi ʻi heni pea siʻi ʻi hena:

11 Engari ma etahi tangata rere ke nga ngutu, he reo ke te reo e korero ai ia ki tenei iwi:

He te ne lea moʻoni ʻaki ki he kakai ni ʻae loungutu fakaleʻoleʻovale pea mo e ʻelelo kehe.

12 I ki atu ia ki a ratou, Ko te okiokinga tenei, hoatu e koutou he okiokinga ki te tangata mauiui; ko te tanga manawa hoki tenei: na, kihai ratou i pai ki te whakarongo.

‌ʻAia naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, Ko eni ʻae mālōlō te ke fakamālōlō ʻaki ʻae kakai ongosia; pea ko eni ʻae fakafiemālie; ka naʻa nau fakaongotuli.

13 No reira, ko ta Ihowa kupu ki a ratou he whakahau i runga i te whakahau, he whakahau i runga i te whakahau; he ako i runga i te ako, he ako i runga i te ako; he wahi iti ki konei, he wahi iti ki ko ra: kia haere ai ratou, ka hinga whakamuri, ka wawahia, ka mahangatia, ka mau.

Ka naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ko e fekau ki he fekau, ko e fekau ki he fekau; ko e ʻotu lea ki he ʻotu lea, ko e ʻotu lea ki he ʻotu lea; ko e siʻi ʻi heni, pea siʻi ʻi hena; koeʻuhi ke nau ʻalu ai, pea hinga fakaholomui, pea mafesifesi pea tauheleʻi, pea moʻua ai ʻakinautolu.

14 Mo reira whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e te hunga whakahi, e nga rangatira o tenei iwi i Hiurharama:

Ko ia mou fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau tangata paetaku ʻoku pule ʻae kakai ni ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema.

15 Kua mea na hoki koutou, Kua whakarite kawenata matou ki te mate; kua rite a matou whakarite ko te reinga; ki te paaha i waenga te whiu i rite nei ki te waipuke, e kore e tae mai ki a matou; no te mea kua oti te teka te mea e matou hei whakawhiri nakitanga, ka piri matou ki roto ki te horihori. (Sheol h7585)

Koeʻuhi kuo mou pehē, “Kuo mau fuakava mo e mate, pea kuo mau feʻofoʻofani mo heli; ʻoka hā mai ʻae tautea fakaʻauha, ʻe ʻikai aʻu mai ia kiate kimautolu: he kuo mau hūfanga ʻaki ʻae loi, pea kuo mau fufū ʻakimautolu ʻi he kākā:” (Sheol h7585)

16 Na ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana, tenei ahau te whakatakoto nei i te kohatu ki Hiona hei turanga, he kohatu kua oti te whakamatautau, mo te kokonga, he mea utu nui, he turanga u: ko te tangata e whakapono ana e kore e potatutatu.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku ou ʻai ʻi Saione ʻae maka tuʻunga; ʻae maka kuo ʻahiʻahiʻi, ko e fungani maka tuliki, ko e tuʻunga maʻu: ko ia ʻoku tui kiate ia ʻe ʻikai puputuʻu ia.

17 Ka whakatakotoria ano e ahau te tikanga o te whakawa, mea rawa ki te aho, me te tika ano, paramu rawa: a ka tahia atu te whakawhirinakitanga teka e te whatu, ka huri ano nga wai ki runga ki te piringa.

Te u ʻai foki ʻae fakamaau ki he afo fua, mo e māʻoniʻoni ki he meʻa fakatotonu: pea ko e ʻuha maka te ne tafi ke mole ʻae hūfanga ʻoe loi, pea ʻe lōmakiʻi ʻe he ngaahi vai ʻae toitoiʻanga.

18 Ka whakataka hoki ta koutou kawenata ki te mate; e kore ano e tu ta koutou i whakarite ai ki te reinga; ko te whiu i rite nei ki te waipuke, ki te tika atu i waenga, ka waiho koutou hei takahanga mana. (Sheol h7585)

“Pea ʻe maumauʻi hoʻomou fuakava mo e mate, pea ʻe ʻikai tuʻu homou loto taha mo heli; ʻoka hā mai ʻae tautea fakaʻauha, ʻe toki malaki hifo ai ʻakimoutolu. (Sheol h7585)

19 I ona wa e haere atu ai taua whiu, ka riro koutou i a ia: ka haere atu hoki i tenei ata, i tenei ata, i te ao, i te po; a he whakamataku anake te mea kia mohio ki te kupu.

Pea ʻi heʻene hā atu te mou moʻua ai; he te ne ʻalu atu ʻi he pongipongi mo e pongipongi, ʻio, ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō: pea naʻa mo ʻene ʻuʻulu mai pe ʻe tupu ai ʻae ilifia.

20 He poto hoki te moenga, e kore e wharoro te tangata; he whaiti te hipoki, e kore e taea te roropi mai.

He ʻoku nounou ʻae mohenga ki he tokoto ʻi ai: pea ʻoku lausiʻi ʻae kafu ke ne fakakafu ʻaki ia.

21 No te mea ka rite ki tera i Maunga Peratimi to Ihowa whakatikanga ake, kei tera i te raorao i Kipeno te rite o tona riri; kia mahi ai ia i tana mahi, i tana mahi rere ke, kia whakatutuki ai i tana hanga, i tana hanga rere ke.

‌ʻE tuʻu hake ʻa Sihova ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻi he moʻunga ko Pilasimi, te ne houhau ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Kipione, koeʻuhi ke ne fai ʻene ngāue, ʻa ʻene ngāue fakaofo; ke ne fakahoko ʻa ʻene ngāue, ko ʻene ngāue foʻou.

22 Na kati ra ta koutou whakahi, kei whakaukia o koutou here: kua rongo nei hoki ahau ki te Ariki, ki a Ihowa o nga mano, ki te whakaotinga, ki te mea i whakaritea mo te whenua katoa.

Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa mou manuki, telia naʻa ngaohi homou haʻi ke mālohi: he kuo u fanongo ʻi he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻe fai ʻae fakaʻauha, ʻio, kuo tuʻutuʻuni ki māmani kotoa pē.

23 Kia whai taringa mai, whakarongo hoki ki toku reo; mahara mai, whakarongo ki taku korero.

“Mou fakatokanga, pea fanongo ki hoku leʻo; fanongo, pea fakaongo ki heʻeku lea.

24 Ko ta te kaiparau koia i nga ra katoa he parau, hei whakatokanga? he whakatuwhera tonu ranei tana, he wawahi i nga pokurukuru o tona oneone?

He ʻoku fakahinohino ʻae huo toho ʻe he tangata kelingoue ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ke tūtuuʻi? ʻOku ne langaʻi pea fakamolū ʻae ngaahi konga ʻoe kelekele?

25 Ka oti i a ia te mata o taua mara te mea kia rite, e kore ianei ia e maka atu i te pi, e whakato i te kumine, e rui i te witi, rarangi rawa, i te parei ki te wahi i whakaritea, me te rai ano ki tona tapa?

‌ʻOka fakamolemole ʻae funga ʻo ia, ʻikai ʻoku ne tūtuuʻi mamaʻo ʻae ngaahi tili, pea tūtuuʻi ʻae kumino, pea ai mo e uite lelei, mo e paʻale kuo tuʻutuʻuni, pea mo e lae ʻi honau potu?

26 Ko tona Atua hoki hei whakaako i a ia ki te tikanga pai, hei tohutohu ano i a ia.

He ʻoku ako ia ke poto ʻe hono ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ne akonakiʻi ia.

27 E kore hoki nga pi e patua ki te mea koi, e kore ano te wira kata e hurihia ki runga ki te kumine; engari e patua ana nga pi ki te rakau, nga kumine ki te patupatu.

He ʻoku ʻikai haha ʻae tili ʻaki ʻae meʻa haha, pea ʻoku ʻikai fakatakamilo ʻae saliote ki he kumino; ka ʻoku tā ke ngangana ʻae tili ʻaki ʻae ʻakau, pea mo e kumino ʻaki ʻae tokotoko.

28 Ko te witi hei taro e kurua ana; e kore hoki e patua tonutia e ia; na, ahakoa tohaina e te wira o tana kata, e ana hoiho ranei, kahore e tukia e ia kia ririki.

‌ʻOku fakavolu ʻae uite ki he mā koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te ne fie haha maʻuaipē ia, pe momosi ia ʻaki ʻae teka ʻo hono saliote, pe fakavolu ia ʻaki hono kau tangata heka hoosi.

29 E puta mai ana hoki tenei i a Ihowa o nga mano, he mea whakamiharo nei ona whakaaro, he nui ano ana tikanga.

‌ʻOku haʻu foki eni meia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻaia ʻoku fakamanavahē ʻi he fakahinohino, pea lelei lahi ʻi he ngāue.”
