Ihaia 59

1 Nana, kihai i mutua te ringa o Ihowa, te tau ai te whakaora; kihai ano i taimaha tona taringa, te rongo ai ia.

Vakai, ʻoku ʻikai fakanounou ʻae nima ʻo Sihova, ke ne taʻefaʻafakamoʻui; pea ʻoku ʻikai mamafa hono fofonga, ke ne taʻefaʻaongoʻi.

2 Engari na o koutou he i wehe koutou ko to koutou Atua, na o koutou hara ano i huna ai tona mata ki a koutou, te whakarongo ai ia.

Ka ko hoʻomou ngaahi hia kuo fakamavae ʻakimoutolu mo homou ʻOtua, pea ʻi hoʻomou angahala kuo ne fakafufū hono fofonga meiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ne fanongo,

3 Kua poke hoki o koutou ringa i te toto, o koutou maihao i te he; ko o koutou ngutu kua korero teka, ko o koutou arero kei te whakapuaki i te whanoke.

He kuo fakaʻuli homou nima ʻaki ʻae toto, mo homou louhiʻi nima ʻaki ʻae fai kovi; kuo lea loi homou loungutu, kuo puʻaki ʻe homou ʻelelo ʻae kovi.

4 Kahore he karanga ki te tika, kahore he tohe ki te pono; ko te horihori to ratou okiokinga, e korero teka ana ratou; ko to ratou hapu he nanakia, whanau ake te kino.

‌ʻOku ʻikai ui ha taha ki he angatonu, pe lea ha niʻihi ki he moʻoni, ʻoku nau faʻaki ki he vaʻinga, pea lea loi; ʻoku nau tuituʻia ʻi he fai kovi, pea nau fanauʻi ʻae angahala.

5 E paoa ana e ratou nga hua o te neke, e hanga ana e ratou te whare pungawerewere: ko te tangata e kai ana i a ratou hua ka mate, a ki te kopengia tetahi, ka puta he waipera.

‌ʻOku nau fōfoaʻi ʻae fua ʻoe ngata fekai, pea fi ʻae matamata kupenga ʻoe hina: ko ia ʻoku ne kai honau fua ʻe mate, pea ko ia kuo laiki ʻoku haʻu mei ai ʻae ngata fekai.

6 E kore o ratou whare pungawerewere e tau hei kakahu, e kore ano ratou e whai hipoki i a ratou mahi: ko a ratou mahi he mahi na te kino, he mahi nanakia kei o ratou ringa.

‌ʻE ʻikai hoko ko e ngaahi kofu ʻenau matamata kupenga, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻufiʻufi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi ngāue: he ko ʻenau ngaahi ngāue ko e ngāue ʻae angahala, pea ʻoku ʻi honau nima ʻae ngāue fakamālohi.

7 E rere ana o ratou waewae i te kino, hohoro tonu hoki ratou ki te whakaheke i te toto harakore: ko o ratou whakaaro he whakaaro ki te kino, he whakamoti, he wawahi kei o ratou ara.

‌ʻOku lele honau vaʻe ki he kovi, pea ʻoku nau fai toʻotoʻo ke lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe taʻehalaia: ko ʻenau ngaahi mahalo ko e ngaahi mahalo ʻoe angahala; ʻoku ʻi honau ngaahi hala ʻae maumau mo e fakaʻauha.

8 Kahore o ratou matauranga ki te ara o te rangimarie, kahore hoki he whakawa i o ratou ara; ko o ratou huarahi, whakakopikopikoa ake e ratou: ko te hunga katoa e haere ana na reira, e kore e mohio ki te rangimarie.

Ko e hala ʻoe melino ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻiloʻi; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha angatonu ʻi honau ngaahi ʻaluʻanga: kuo nau ngaohi kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi hala pikopiko: ko ia ʻe ʻalu ai ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ha fiemālie.

9 Na reira matara noa atu te whakawa i a tatou, te mau tatou i te tika: e taria atu ana e tatou te marama, na ko te pouri; te tiaho, na kei te haere nei tatou i te pouri.

“Ko ia ʻoku mamaʻo ai meiate kitautolu ʻae fakamaau, pea ʻoku ʻikai hoko mai ʻae angatonu: ʻoku tau tatali ki he maama, kae vakai ko e fakapoʻuli; ki he maama lahi, ka ʻoku tau ʻeveʻeva ʻi he poʻuli.

10 E whawha ana tatou ki te taiepa ano he matapo, ae ra, me te mea ko te hunga kahore he kanohi: e tutuki ana o tatou waewae i te poutumarotanga me te mea i te ahiahi; he rite tatou ki te tupapaku i roto i nga tangata pakari.

‌ʻOku tau tautaufā ki he ʻā ʻo hangē ko e kui, pea ʻoku tau tautaufā ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻikai hatau mata: ʻoku tau humu ʻi he hoʻatāmālie ʻo hangē ha poʻuli; ʻoku tau ʻi he ngaahi potu lala ʻo hangē ko e kakai mate.

11 Kei te ngengere tatou katoa ano he pea; ko to tatou rite kei te kukupa e tumutumu tonu ana. E tatari ana tatou ki te whakawa, heoi kua kahore; ki te whakaora, otiia kei tawhiti atu i a tatou.

‌ʻOku tau tangi kotoa pē ʻo tatau mo e fanga pea, pea ʻoku tangi mamahi ʻo hangē ko e kulukulu, ʻoku tau kumi ki he fakamaau, ka ʻoku ʻikai; ki he fakamoʻui, ka ʻoku mamaʻo ia ʻiate kitautolu.

12 Kua nui hoki o matou poka ke i tou aroaro, e whakaatu ana hoki o matou hara i to matou he; kei a matou nei hoki o matou poka ke, a ko o matou kino, e mohiotia ana era e matou;

He kuo fakalahi ʻemau ngaahi talangataʻa ʻi ho ʻao, pea ʻoku talatalaakiʻi ʻakitautolu ʻe heʻetau ngaahi angahala: he ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu ʻetau ngaahi talangataʻa; pea ko ʻetau ngaahi angahala, ʻoku tau ʻilo ia;

13 He poka ke, he whakakahore ki a Ihowa, he peka atu i te whai i to matou Atua, he whanoke nga korero, he whakakeke; kua hapu, kua puaki i te ngakau he kupu teka.

Ko e meʻa ʻi he angatuʻu mo e lohiakiʻi kia Sihova, mo e ʻalu mei hotau ʻOtua, ʻo lea ki he fakamālohi mo e fakaaoao, ʻi he mahalo ʻaki mo e fakahā mei he loto ʻae ngaahi lea loi.

14 Kua tahuri atu nei ki muri te whakawa, ko te tika tu mai ana i tawhiti; kua hinga hoki te pono i te waharoa, a kahore he tomokanga mo te tika.

Pea kuo foki ki mui ʻae fakamaau, pea ʻoku ʻi he mamaʻo ʻae angatonu: he kuo hinga ʻae moʻoni ʻi he hala, pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa hū ki ai ʻae faitotonu.

15 Ae ra, kua kore te pono; a ko te tangata e whakarere ana i te kino ka waiho hei taonga parau. Na ka kite a Ihowa, ka kino ki tana titiro, no te mea kahore he whakawa.

‌ʻIo, kuo mole ʻae moʻoni; pea ʻoku lau ko e faha ʻaia kuo afe mei he kovi: pea naʻe ʻafio ki ai ʻa Sihova, pea naʻe kovi ia ki hono fofonga ʻi he ʻikai ai ha fakamaau.”

16 Na titiro rawa mai ia, kahore he tangata, miharo ana ia no te mea kahore he kaiwawao; na, kei tona ringa he whakaora mona; ko tona tika, na tera ia i tautoko ake.

“Pea naʻa ne ʻafioʻi ʻoku ʻikai ai ha tangata, pea ofo ia ʻi he ʻikai ha fakalaloa: ko ia naʻe ʻomi ʻe hono nima ʻae fakamoʻui kiate ia; pea ko ʻene māʻoniʻoni, naʻe tokoni ia kiate ia.

17 I kakahuria hoki e ia te tika hei pukupuku, ko te whakaora hei potae ki tona mahunga; kakahuria ana e ia nga kakahu o te rapu utu hei kakahu, ropia mai ana te hae hei koroka.

He naʻa ne ʻai ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko e kofu fatafata, pea mo e tatā ʻoe fakamoʻui ki hono fofonga; pea ne ai ʻae teunga ʻoe houhau ko e kofu, pea naʻa ne kofuʻaki ʻae loto faivelenga ʻo hangē ko e kofutuʻa.”

18 Ko tana utu ka rite ki a ratou mahi, he riri ki ona hoa whawhai, he utu ki ona hoariri; ki nga motu hoki ka homai e ia he utu.

‌ʻO fakatatau ki heʻenau ngaahi faianga, ʻe pehē ʻene totongi, ʻaki ʻae houhau ki he kau angatuʻu, ʻae totongi ki hono ngaahi fili; ki he ngaahi motu te ne fakatatau ʻae totongi.

19 Na ka wehingia te ingoa o Ihowa i te uru, tona kororia i te rawhiti. Ka haere mai hoki ia ano he awa e taheke ana, e aia ana e te manawa o Ihowa.

Ko ia te nau manavahē ai ki he huafa ʻo Sihova mei he lulunga, pea mo hono nāunau mei he hopoʻangalaʻā. ʻOka ʻoho mai ʻae fili ʻo hangē ko e vaitafe lahi, ʻe hiki hake ʻe he Laumālie ʻo Sihova ha fuka kiate ia.

20 A ka haere mai te kaihoko ki Hiona, ki te hunga o Hakopa e tahuri atu ana i te poka ke, e ai ta Ihowa.

Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE haʻu ʻae Huhuʻi ki Saione, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku tafoki mei he talangataʻa ʻia Sēkope.

21 Ko ahau nei, ko taku kawenata tenei ki a ratou, e ai ta Ihowa: Ko toku wairua i a koe na, me aku kupu i hoatu e ahau ki tou mangai, e kore e neke atu i tou mangai, i te mangai o ou uri, i te mangai ano o nga uri o ou uri, e ai ta Ihowa, aianei a ake tonu atu.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ka ko au, ko ʻeku fuakava eni mo kinautolu; Ko hoku laumālie ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate koe, pea mo ʻeku ngaahi lea kuo u ʻai ki ho ngutu, ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ʻi ho ngutu, pe mei he ngutu ʻo ho hako, pe mei he ngutu ʻoe hako ʻo ho hako, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ngata mei heni ʻo aʻu ʻo taʻengata.”
