Heremaia 11

1 Ko te kupu i pa mai ki a Heremaia he mea na Ihowa; i ki ia,

Ko e folofola naʻe hoko kia Selemaia meia Sihova, ʻo pehē,

2 Whakarongo koutou ki nga kupu o tenei kawenata, korero hoki ki nga tangata o Hura ratou ko te hunga e noho ana i Hiruharama;

“Mou fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ʻoe fuakava ni, pea ke lea ki he kau tangata ʻo Siuta, pea mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema;

3 Mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Ka kanga te tangata e kore e whakarongo ki nga kupu o tenei kawenata,

Pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘ʻE malaʻia ʻae tangata ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai talangofua ki he ngaahi lea ʻoe fuakava ni,

4 I whakahaua nei e ahau ki o koutou matua i te ra i kawea mai ai ratou e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa, i roto i te oumu rino; i ahau i ki ra, Whakarongo ki toku reo, mahia hoki aua mea, kia rite ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a koutou; a ka wa iho koutou hei iwi maku, ko ahau hoki hei Atua mo koutou:

‌ʻAia naʻaku fekau ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻi he ʻaho naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he tutuʻanga ukamea,’ ʻo pehē, ‘Mou talangofua ki hoku leʻo, pea fai ʻo hangē ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu: ko ia te mou hoko ai ko hoku kakai, pea te u hoko ko homou ʻOtua:

5 Kia whakamana ai e ahau te oati i oatitia e ahau ki o koutou matua, kia hoatu ki a ratou he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi, penei me tenei ra. Katahi ka whakahoki ahau, ka mea, Koia ano tena, e Ihowa.

Koeʻuhi ke u fakamoʻoni ʻae fuakava ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ʻaki ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ke foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae fonua ʻoku mahu ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi, ʻo hangē ko ia he ʻaho ni.” Pea ne u toki lea, ʻo pehē, “Ke pehē pe, ʻE Sihova.”

6 Na ka ki mai a Ihowa ki ahau, Karangatia enei kupu katoa ki nga pa o Hura, ki nga ara ano o Hiruharama, mea atu, Whakarongo ki nga kupu o tenei kawenata, mahia hoki.

Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Ke ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa ki he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, mo e ngaahi hala ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo pehē, Mou fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ʻoe fuakava ni, pea fai ki ai.

7 I tino whakatupato hoki ahau i o koutou matua i te ra i kawea mai ai ratou e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa, a taea noatia tenei ra, maranga wawe ana ahau, whakatupato ana; mea ana, Whakarongo ki toku reo.

He naʻaku ako lahi ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ʻi he ʻaho naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake pe ʻo ako, ʻo pehē, Mou talangofua ki hoku leʻo.

8 Heoi kihai ratou i rongo, kihai i tahuri o ratou taringa; otiia haere ana ratou, ia tangata, ia tangata, i runga i nga tikanga pakeke a tona ngakau kino: mo reira ka takina e ahau ki a ratou nga kupu katoa o tenei kawenata i whakahaua nei e ahau kia mahia, a kihai nei i mahia e ratou.

Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau talangofua, pe fakatokangaʻi honau telinga, ka naʻa nau taki taha muimui ki he holi ʻa hono loto kovi; ko ia te u ʻomi ai kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fuakava ni, ʻaia naʻaku fekau ke nau fai; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fai ki ai.”

9 I mea ano a Ihowa ki ahau, Kua kitea te he e whakatakotoria ana e nga tangata o Hura, e te hunga e noho ana i Hiruharama.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “ʻOku ʻi he kakai ʻo Siuta mo e kau nofoʻanga ʻo Selūsalema ʻae puleaki.

10 Kua hokia e ratou nga he o o ratou matua o mua, kihai nei i pai ki te whakarongo ki aku kupu, haere ana ratou ki te whai i nga atua ke, mahi ana ki a ratou: kua whakataka e te whare o Iharaira ratou ko te whare o Hura taku kawenata i whakaritea e ahau ki o ratou matua.

Kuo nau foki ki mui ki he hia ʻo ʻenau mātuʻa ʻi muʻa, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga ki heʻeku lea; pea naʻa nau muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe mo tauhi ki ai: kuo maumauʻi ʻeku fuakava ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli mo e fale ʻo Siuta ʻaia ne u fai mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.

11 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tenei te takina nei e ahau ki a ratou, he he; e kore ano ratou e mawhiti; ka karanga ano ratou ki ahau, otiia e kore ahau e rongo ki a ratou.

“Ko ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Vakai, te u ʻomi ʻae kovi kiate kinautolu, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa hao mei ai; pea kapau te nau tangi kiate au, ʻe ʻikai te u fanongo kiate kinautolu.

12 A ka haere nga pa o Hura me nga tangata o Hiruharama, ka karanga ki nga atua e tahu whakakakara nei ratou ki a ratou: hore rawa ia a ratou whakaora mo ratou i te wa e raru ai.

Pea ʻe toki ʻalu ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema, ʻo tangi ki honau ngaahi ʻotua ʻaia naʻa nau ʻatu ki ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala: ka e ʻikai siʻi te nau fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻenau mamahi.

13 I rite hoki ou atua, e Hura, ki ou pa te maha; me nga aata i hanga e koutou ma taua mea whakama, rite tonu ki nga ara o Hiruharama te maha, ara nga aata tahu whakakakara ki a Paara.

He ʻoku hangē ko hono tokolahi ʻo ho ngaahi kolo, ʻoku pehē hono tokolahi ʻo ho ngaahi ʻotua, ʻE Siuta; pea hangē ko e lau ʻoe ngaahi hala ʻi Selūsalema kuo mou fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga ki he meʻa fakamā, ʻio ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ke tutu ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala kia Peali.’

14 Heoi kaua e inoi mo tenei iwi; kei ara hoki tetahi tangi, tetahi kupu wawao mo ratou; no te mea e kore ahau e rongo i te wa e karanga ai ratou ki ahau, ina raru ratou.

“Ko ia ʻoua te ke hūfia ʻae kakai ni; pe hiki hake ha tangi pe hū koeʻuhi ko kinautolu: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u fanongo kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho te nau tangi ai kiate au ʻi heʻenau mamahi.

15 Ko te aha ma taku wahine aroha i roto i toku whare, kua mahi he nei hoki ia, he tini nga hoa, a kua kore te kikokiko tapu i a koe? i tau mahinga i te kino, na, kei te whakamanamana koe.

Ko e hā ʻoku kei nofo ai ʻa hoku ʻofaʻanga ʻi hoku fale, ka kuo fai kovi ia mo e tokolahi? ʻE maʻu meiate koe ʻae fuakava mo e kakano māʻoniʻoni? ʻI hoʻo fai meʻa kovi naʻa ke fiefia ai.

16 I huaina e Ihowa tou ingoa, Ko te oriwa matomato, ataahua, hua papai: nui atu te reo ngangau i tahuna ai e ia te ahi mona, kua whatiwhatiia ona manga.

Pea naʻe ui ho hingoa ʻe Sihova, “Ko e ʻolive mata, ʻoku matamatalelei, pea fua lelei:” kuo ne tutu ʻaki ia ʻae afi ʻi he longoaʻa lahi, pea kuo vela hono ngaahi vaʻa.

17 Kua korerotia nei hoki e Ihowa o nga mano, e tou kaiwhakato, he he mou, hei utu mo te kino o te whare o Iharaira raua ko te whare o Hura, i mahia nei e ratou hei he mo ratou, hei whakapatari i ahau, i a ratou ka tahu whakakakara nei ki a Paara.

He ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻaia naʻa ne tō koe, kuo ne fakahā kiate koe ʻae kovi, koeʻuhi ko e kovi ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e fale ʻo Siuta, ʻaia kuo nau fai ke fakahouhau ʻaki au ʻi heʻenau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae meʻa namu kakala kia Peali.”

18 I meinga ano ahau e Ihowa kia mohio ki taua mea, a mohio ana ahau: i whakakitea mai ano e koe ki ahau a ratou mahi.

Pea kuo fakaʻilo ia kiate au ʻe Sihova, pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ia: pea naʻa ke fakahā kiate au ʻenau ngaahi faianga.

19 Ko ahau ia i rite ki te reme, e arahina ana kia patua; kihai i mohio, e hanga whakaaro ana ratou moku, e mea ana, Kia kore i a tatou te rakau me ona kua, kia tapahia atu ia i runga i te whenua o te hunga ora, kia kore ai he maharatanga ki tona i ngoa.

Ka naʻaku hangē ko e lami pe ha pulu ʻaia ʻoku ʻomi ke tāmateʻi; pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi kuo nau fakakaukau ʻae tauhele kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Ke tau fakaʻauha ʻae ʻakau mo hono fua, pea ke tau tuʻusi ia mei he fonua ʻoe moʻui, ke ʻoua naʻa toe manatuʻi ʻa hono hingoa.”

20 Tena, e Ihowa o nga mano, kei runga nei hoki i te tika tau whakawa, e whakamatau ana koe i nga whatumanawa, i te ngakau, kia kite ahau i tau rapunga utu i a ratou: kua whakakitea atu nei hoki e ahau taku totohe ki a koe.

Ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻa koe ʻoku ke fakamaau totonu, mo hakule ʻae ngaahi holi mo e loto, tuku ke u mamata ki ho houhau kiate kinautolu: he kuo u fakahā ʻeku meʻa kiate koe.”

21 Heoi ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa mo nga tangata o Anatoto e whai nei kia whakamatea koe, e mea nei, Kaua e poropiti i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, kei mate koe i to matou ringa:

“Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ki he kau tangata ʻo ʻAnatoti, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi hoʻo moʻui, ʻonau pehē, ‘ʻOua te ke kikite ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, telia naʻa ke mate koe ʻi homau nima:’

22 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Tenei ahau te whiu nei i a ratou: ka mate nga taitamariki i te hoari; ko a ratou tama, ko a ratou tamahine, ka mate i te hemokai.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ‘Vakai, te u tautea ʻakinautolu: ʻe mate honau kau talavou ʻi he heletā; pea ʻe mate honau ngaahi foha, mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he honge:

23 E kore ratou e whai morehu; no te mea ka kawea e ahau he kino ki nga tangata o Anatoto, ara ko te tau e whiua ai ratou.

Pea ʻe ʻikai kei toe ha kakai ʻiate kinautolu: he te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ki he kakai ʻo ʻAnatoti, ʻio, ko e taʻu ʻoe ʻaʻahi kiate kinautolu.’”
