Ihaia 56
1 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Puritia te whakawa, mahia te tika; no te mea ka tata he putanga mo taku whakaora, he whakakitenga mo toku tika.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Tauhi ʻae fakamaau, pea fai māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku ofi ʻae haʻu ʻa ʻeku fakamoʻui, pea mo e fakahā ʻo ʻeku māʻoniʻoni.
2 Ka hari te tangata nana tenei mahi, te tama a te tangata e pupuri nei i a ia, mau tonu; e pupuri ana, a kahore e whakapoke i te hapati, e tiaki ana i tona ringa kei mahi i tetahi he.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea mo e foha ʻoe tangata ʻoku puke ki ai; ʻaia ʻoku tauhi ʻae ʻaho tapu taʻefakaʻuli ia, pea ʻoku taʻofi hono nima mei he fai kovi kotoa pē.”
3 Kaua hoki te tama a te tangata ke, kua hona nei ki a Ihowa, e korero, e mea, He pono ka wehea rawatia mai ahau e Ihowa i roto i tana iwi; kaua ano te unaka e ki, Nana, he rakau maroke ahau.
Ke ʻoua foki naʻa lea ʻae foha ʻoe muli, ʻaia kuo ne fakahoko ia kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Kuo vaheʻi ʻaupito au ʻe Sihova mei hono kakai:” pea ʻoua naʻa pehē ʻe he ʻiunoke, “Vakai, ko e ʻakau mōmoa au.”
4 Ko ta Ihowa kupu hoki tenei mo nga unaka e pupuri ana i aku hapati, e whiriwhiri ana i nga mea e paingia ana e ahau, a e hopu ana i taku kawenata;
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ki ho ngaahi ʻiunoke ʻoku tauhi ʻeku ngaahi Sāpate, pea ʻoku fili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ou fiemālie ai, pea puke ki heʻeku fuakava.
5 Ka hoatu e ahau he wahi ki a ratou i roto i toku whare, i roto ano i oku taiepa, he ingoa ano e pai ake ana i o nga tama, i o nga tamahine; he ingoa mau tonu taku e hoatu ai ki a ratou, he mea e kore e hatepea atu.
ʻIo, te u foaki kiate kinautolu ʻi hoku fale pea ʻi hoku lotoʻā ha potu, pea mo ha hingoa lelei lahi ʻi he ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine: te u foaki kiate kinautolu ha hingoa taʻengata, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai ʻauha.
6 Ko nga tamariki hoki a te tangata ke, kua oti te hono ki a Ihowa, he mea kia mahi ai ratou ki a ia, kia aroha ki te ingoa o Ihowa, kia waiho hei pononga mana; ko te hunga katoa e pupuri ana, a kahore e whakapoke i te hapati, a e hopu ana i taku k awenata;
Pea mo e ngaahi foha ʻoe muli, ʻoku fakahoko ʻakinautolu kia Sihova, ke tauhi ia, pea ke ʻofa ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, ke hoko ko ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki, ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tauhi ʻae ʻaho tapu kae ʻikai fakaʻuli ia, pea ʻoku puke maʻu ki heʻeku fuakava;
7 Ka kawea ratou e ahau ki toku maunga tapu, ka whakahari ano ahau i a ratou i roto i toku whare inoi; ka manakohia a ratou tahunga tinana, me a ratou patunga tapu i runga i taku aata; no te mea ka kiia toku whare, He whare inoi mo nga iwi katoa.
ʻIo, ko kinautolu te u ʻomi ki hoku moʻunga tapu, pea te u fakafiefiaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi hoku falelotu: ʻe maʻu ʻi hoku feilaulauʻanga ʻa ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau; koeʻuhi ʻe ui hoku fale ko e falelotu ki he kakai fulipē.”
8 He kupu tenei na te Ariki, na Ihowa, na te kaikohikohi mai o te hunga o Iharaira i peia atu, Kua kohikohia era ki a ia; ka kohikohi ano ahau i etahi atu ki a ia.
ʻOku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku tānaki ʻae kau liʻaki ʻo ʻIsileli, “Ka te u toe tānaki mo ha niʻihi kiate ia fakataha mo kinautolu kuo u tānaki kiate ia.”
9 E nga kirehe katoa o te parae, haere mai ki te kai, e nga kirehe katoa o te ngahere.
Mou haʻu ke keina, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae fanga manu ʻoe ngoue, ʻio, ʻakimoutolu ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao.
10 Ko ona tutei, he matapo katoa, kahore e mohio; he kuri reokore katoa ratou, e kore e tau; he momoe, he takoto, e matenui ana ki te moe.
ʻOku kui hono kau tangata leʻo: ʻoku vale kotoa pē, ko e fanga kulī noa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa kalou; ʻoku mohe, pea tokoto hifo, ʻo manako ki he mohe.
11 Ae ra, he kuri apo kai ratou, kahore rawa e makona; he hepara enei e kore e ngoto te matauranga; anga katoa ana ratou ki tona ara, ki tona ara, ki te mea taonga mona i tona wahi, i tona wahi.
ʻIo, ko e fanga kulī ʻuakai, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito mākona, pea ko e kau tauhi taʻeʻilo ʻakinautolu: ʻoku nau vakai kotoa pē ki honau hala taki taha, ke maʻu meʻa mei hono potu.
12 Ko ta ratou ki, Haere mai, maku e tiki he waina, kia nui ano ta tatou inu i te wai kaha; a ka rite te ra apopo ki tenei ra, he ra kei runga noa atu tona nui.
ʻOku nau pehē, “Haʻu ʻakimoutolu te u ʻomi ʻae uaine, pea te tau inu ke tau fonu ʻi he inu mālohi; pea ʻe tatau ʻae ʻapongipongi mo e ʻaho ni, pea ʻe lahi hake ia.”
