< Ihaia 8 >

1 I ki mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, Tikina atu tetahi papa nui mau, ka tuhituhi ki runga, ki te pene a te tangata, Mo Mahereharara Hapaha;
Pea naʻe toe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Toʻo kiate koe ha takainga lahi, pea tohi ʻi ai ʻaki ha peni ʻae tangata ʻae meʻa ʻoku kau kia Maha-sala-hase-pase.
2 Na maku e mea etahi kaiwhakaatu pono hei whakaatu mo taku, ara a Uria tohunga raua ko Tekaria tama a Teperekia.
Pea naʻaku toʻo kiate au ʻae kau fakamoʻoni angatonu ke tohi, ko ʻUlia ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Sakalia ko e foha ʻo Sepelikaia.”
3 Na ko taku haerenga atu ki te poropiti wahine, kua hapu, whanau ake he tama. Katahi a Ihowa ka ki mai ki ahau, Huaina tona ingoa ko Mahereharara Hapaha.
Pea ne u ʻalu ki he palōfita fefine; pea naʻe tuituʻia ia, pea fanauʻi ʻae tama, Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Ui hono hingoa ko ‘Maha-sala-hase-pase.’
4 No te mea mohio rawa ake te tamaiti ki te karanga, E toku papa, e toku whaea, ka riro nga taonga o Ramahiku, me nga mea parakete o Hamaria i te aroaro o te kingi o Ahiria.
Koeʻuhi ʻi he kei vale ʻae tamasiʻi ke lea, ‘Ko ʻeku tamai,’ mo ‘ʻeku faʻē,’ ʻe ʻave ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻae koloa ʻo Tamasikusi mo e vete taua ʻo Samēlia.
5 I korero mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea.
Pea naʻe toe folofola foki ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
6 Na kua paopao nei tenei iwi ki nga wai ata rere o Hiroa, a e koa ana ki a Retini raua ko te tama a Remaria;
“Ko e meʻa ʻi he liʻaki ʻe he kakai ni ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo Siloa ʻoku tafetafemālie, pea ʻoku nau fiefia ʻia Lesini mo e foha ʻo Lemalia;
7 Na, tenei te takina mai nei e te Ariki nga wai o te awa ki runga ki a ratou, he kaha, he nui, ara te kingi o Ahiria, me tona kororia katoa: ka ngawha ano ia ki runga i ona pareparenga katoa, ka pari ano hoki ki runga i ona tahatika katoa:
Ko ia foki, vakai, ʻoku ʻomi ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe vaitafe, ʻoku mālohi pea lahi, ʻio, ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia mo hono mālohi kotoa pē: pea te ne ʻalu hake ki hono tafeʻanga vai kotoa pē, pea ʻe lōmakiʻi ʻae ngaahi kauvai kotoa pē:
8 Ka rere tonu atu ia ki a Hura; ka puhake atu, a ka puta; ka pa ki te kaki rawa; a ka kapi i te rohanga o ona parirau te whanuitanga o tou whenua, e Emanuera.
Pea te ne ʻoho ʻi Siuta; pea fetāfeaki ia ʻo mafola, ʻo aʻu hake ia ki he kia; pea ko e folahi ʻo hono kapakau ʻe feʻunga mo e māukupu ʻo ho fonua, ʻE ʻImanuela.”
9 E anga, ka whakatupu raruraru, e nga iwi, a ka pakaru rikiriki koutou; kia whai taringa hoki, e te hunga katoa o nga whenua i tawhiti; whitiki, a ka pakaru rikiriki koutou; whitiki, a ka mongamonga noa koutou.
Mou kau fakataha, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kakai, pea ʻe laiki ʻakimoutolu; pea fakafanongo, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi fonua kotoa pē ʻoku mamaʻo: nonoʻo ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻe momosi ʻakimoutolu; nonoʻo ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻe liʻaki ʻakimoutolu.
10 Whakatakotoria he whakaaro, a ka taka noa iho; korerotia te kupu, e kore ano e tu; kei a matou nei hoki te Atua.
Mou fakakaukau fakataha, ka e hoko ko e meʻa noa pe ia; mou alea, ka e ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ia: he ʻoku ʻiate kimautolu ʻae ʻOtua.
11 Ko ta Ihowa korero hoki tenei ki ahau i runga i te ringa kaha, me tana whakaako ano i ahau kia kaua e haere i te ara o tenei iwi; ka ki mai,
He naʻe folofola pehē ʻa Sihova kiate au ʻi he nima mālohi, mo ne akonakiʻi au ke ʻoua naʻaku ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻoe kakai ni, ʻo ne pehē,
12 Kaua e ki, He he te whakatakotoria nei i nga mea katoa e ki atu ai tenei iwi, He he te whakatakotoria nei; kaua hoki e wehi i ta ratou e wehi ai, kaua ano e pawera ki reira.
‌ʻOua naʻa mou pehē, “Ko e tau, kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku pehē ki ai ʻae kakai ni, ko e tau, pea ʻoua ʻe manavahē ki heʻenau fakamanavahēʻi, pea ʻoua naʻa mou ilifia.
13 Ko Ihowa o nga mano, ko ia ta koutou e whakatapu ai; ko ia hei wehi ma koutou, ko ia hei pawera ma koutou.
Mou fakatapui pe ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; pea tuku ke hoko ia ko hoʻomou manavahēʻanga, pea mou ilifia ʻiate ia.
14 A ka ai ia hei wahi tapu; hei kohatu tutukitanga waewae ia, hei kamaka e hinga ai nga whare e rua o Iharaira, hei rore ano hoki, hei mahanga ki nga tangata o Hiruharama.
Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e hūfanga malu; ka ko e maka tūkiaʻanga, pea ko e maka fakaʻita ki he fale fakatouʻosi ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e tauhele mo e heleanga ki he kakai ʻo Selūsalema.
15 He tokomaha ano hoki o ratou e tutuki te waewae ki reira, e hinga, pakaru iho, e mahangatia, mau tonu iho.
Pea ko e tokolahi ʻiate kinautolu te nau tohumuhumu, pea hinga, pea laiki, mo tauhele, pea touʻia ʻakinautolu.
16 Takaia te whakaaturanga, hiritia te ture i roto i aku akonga.
Fakamaʻopoʻopo ʻae fakamoʻoni, pulusi ʻae fono maʻa ʻeku kau ākonga.
17 A ka tatari ahau ki a Ihowa e hunga nei i tona mata ki te whare o Hakopa, ka tumanako atu ki a ia.
Pea te u tatali kia Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku fufū hono fofonga mei he fale ʻo Sēkope, pea te u ʻamanaki kiate ia.
18 Nana, ko matou ko nga tamariki i homai nei e Ihowa ki ahau hei tohu, hei mea whakamiharo i roto i a Iharaira, he mea na Ihowa o nga mano e noho nei i Maunga Hiona.
Vakai, ko au mo e fānau kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate au, kuo mau hoko ko e ngaahi fakaʻilonga pea mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi ʻIsileli, meia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio ʻi he moʻunga ko Saione.”
19 Na, ki te mea mai ratou ki a koutou, Me rapu tikanga koutou i te hunga he atua maori nei o ratou, i nga matakite, i te hunga e kowhetewhete ana, e ngunguru ana: kaua ianei tetahi iwi e rapu tikanga ki to ratou Atua? me rapu atu ranei ratou ki ng a mea mate mo nga mea ora?
Pea ʻoka nau ka pehē mai kiate kimoutolu, “Kumi kiate kinautolu ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi laumālie kovi, pea ki he ngaahi kikite ʻoku mapu mo femuhumuhuʻi: ʻikai ʻoku totonu ke kumi ʻe he kakai ki honau ʻOtua? ʻOku totonu koā ʻenau siʻaki ʻae moʻui kae kumi ki he mate?
20 Ki te ture, ki te whakaaturanga! ki te kore e rite ta ratou korero ki tenei kupu, ina, kahore he ata mo ratou.
Kumi ki he fono pea ki he fakamoʻoni: kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau lea ʻo hangē ko e folofola ni, ʻoku pehē koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha maama ʻiate kinautolu.
21 A ka tika ano ratou na reira, ruha noa iho, e mate ana i te kai: i a ratou ka mate nei i te kai, ka tupu te riri, a ka kanga e ratou to ratou kingi, me to ratou Atua, a ka tahuri o ratou kanohi whakarunga:
Pea te nau ʻalu ʻi ai, ʻi he mamahi mo e fiekaia, pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau fiekaia, te nau tangi, pea kapeʻi honau tuʻi mo honau ʻOtua, pea sio ki ʻolunga.
22 A ka titiro ratou ki te whenua, na, he whakapawera, he pouri, ko te poruru o te mamae; a ka aia atu ratou ki roto ki te pouri kerekere.
Pea te nau sio ki he kelekele; pea vakai ko e mamahi, mo e fakapoʻuli, mo e ninimo, mo e ongosia; pea ʻe kapusi ʻakinautolu ki he fakapoʻuli.”
