< Heremaia 13 >

1 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa ki ahau, Tikina, hokona he whitiki rinena mou, ka whitiki ai ki tou hope; kaua hoki e tukua ki te wai.
‌ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova kiate au, “ʻAlu ʻo toʻo kiate koe ʻae noʻo ʻoe tupenu lelei, pea ʻai ia ki ho kongaloto, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ia ki he vai.”
2 Heoi kua hokona e ahau tetahi whitiki, ko ta Ihowa i ki ai, whitikiria iho e ahau ki toku hope.
Pea naʻaku toʻo ʻae noʻo ʻo ʻai ia ki hoku kongaloto, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.
3 Na ko te rua o nga putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea ia,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ko hono liunga ua, ʻo pehē,
4 E mau ki te whitiki i hokona e koe, ki tera i tou hope, ka whakatika, ka haere ki Uparati, ka huna ki tetahi rua i te kamaka.
“Toʻo ʻae noʻo ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ho kongaloto, pea ke tuʻu, ʻo ʻalu ki ʻIufaletesi, pea fakafufū ia ʻi he ʻanaʻi maka.”
5 Heoi haere ana ahau, huna ana i taua mea ki Uparati, pera tonu me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki ahau.
Pea ne u ʻalu ʻo fakafufū ia, ʻo ofi ki ʻIufaletesi, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova.
6 A ka maha nga ra, ka ki mai a Ihowa ki ahau, Whakatika, haere ki Uparati, tikina i reira te whitiki i whakahau ai ahau ki a koe kia huna ki reira.
Pea naʻe hoko, ʻo pehē, ʻi he hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lahi, naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Tuʻu, pea ke ʻalu ki ʻIufaletesi, pea toʻo mei ai ʻae noʻo, ʻaia naʻaku fekau ke ke fakafufū ʻi ai.”
7 Katahi ka haere ahau ki Uparati, kei te keri, tangohia mai ana e ahau te whitiki i te wahi i huna ai e ahau: na, kua kino te whitiki, kihai i pai mo tetahi mea.
Pea ne u ʻalu ki ʻIufaletesi, mo keli, pea toʻo mai ʻae noʻo mei he potu ne u fakafufū ai ia: pea vakai, kuo maumauʻi ʻae noʻo, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi ʻaonga ia.
8 Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea ia,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
9 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ka pena ano taku whakakino i te whakapehapeha o Hura, i te whakapehapeha nui o Hiruharama.
“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u maumauʻi pehē ʻae fielahi ʻa Siuta, pea mo e laukau lahi ʻa Selūsalema.
10 Ko tenei iwi kino e kore nei e pai ki te whakarongo ki aku kupu, e haere ana i runga i nga tikanga pakeke o o ratou ngakau, e whai ana i nga atua ke, e mahi ana, e koropiko ana ki a ratou, ka rite ratou ki tenei whitiki e kore nei e pai mo tetah i mea.
Ko e kakai kovi ni, ʻoku nau fakaongo tuli ki heʻeku ngaahi lea, pea ʻeveʻeva ʻi he mahalo vaʻinga ʻo honau loto, pea muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻo tauhi ʻakinautolu, pea lotu kiate kinautolu: te nau hangē ko e noʻo ni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai siʻi ʻaonga.
11 He penei i te whitiki e piri nei ki te hope o te tangata, pena tonu taku meatanga i te whare katoa o Iharaira, i te whare katoa o Hura, kia piri ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, kia waiho ai ratou hei iwi maku, hei ingoa, hei whakamoemiti, hei kororia; h eoi kihai ratou i rongo.
Koeʻuhi hangē ʻoku pipiki ʻae noʻo ki he kongaloto ʻoe tangata, naʻe pehē ʻeku fakapipiki kiate au ʻae fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e fale kotoa ʻo Siuta, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova: koeʻuhi ke nau hoko kiate au ko e kakai, mo e hingoa, mo e fakamālō mo e nāunau: ka naʻa nau fakaongotuli pe.”
12 Na me korero tenei kupu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Ka whakakiia katoatia nga pounamu ki te waina: a e mea ano ratou ki a koe, kihai ianei matou i tino mohio ka whakakiia katoatia nga pounamu ki te waina?
“Ko ia ke ke lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni kiate kinautolu: ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻE fakapito ʻaki ʻae uaine ʻae hina kotoa pē: pea te nau pehē kiate koe, ʻIkai ʻoku mau ʻilo pau ʻe fakapito ʻaki ʻae uaine ʻae hina kotoa pē.
13 Ko reira koe mea ai ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tenei ahau te whakaki nei i nga tangata katoa o tenei whenua, ara i nga kingi e noho ana i runga i te torona o Rawiri, ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga poropiti, ko nga tangata katoa ano o Hi ruharama ki te haurangi.
Pea te ke toki lea pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, te u fakapito ʻaki ʻae kona, ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ni, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Tevita, mo e kau taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kau palōfita, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema.
14 Ka akina atu ano ratou e ahau tetahi ki tetahi, nga matua ngatahi ano ko nga tamariki, e ai ta Ihowa; e kore e tohungia e ahau, e kore e manawapatia, e kore e arohaina, kia kore ai ratou e ngaro i ahau.
Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u fakafetēleni ke laiki ʻakinautolu, ko e ngaahi tamai ki he ngaahi foha: ʻE ʻikai te u ʻofa, pe fakamoʻui, pe fai ʻaloʻofa, ka ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu.”
15 Whakarongo, tahuri mai nga taringa; kaua e whakapehapeha; na Ihowa hoki te kupu.
Mou fanongo, mo tokanga; pea ʻoua naʻa fielahi: he kuo folofola ʻa Sihova.
16 Whakakororiatia to koutou Atua, a Ihowa, i te mea kiano ia i whakapouri noa, i te mea kiano o koutou waewae i tutuki i runga i nga maunga pouri, i te mea hoki e tatari ana koutou ki te marama, na kua puta ke i a ia ko te atarangi o te mate, kua meinga kia pouri kerekere.
Mou fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻi he teʻeki ai te ne fakatupu ʻae fakapoʻuli, pea ʻi he teʻeki ai ke tūkia homou vaʻe ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻoe fakapoʻuli, pea lolotonga hoʻomou ʻamanaki ki he maama, te ne liliu ia ko e poʻuli matolu, pea mo e malumalu ʻoe mate.
17 Tena ki te kore koutou e rongo, ka tangi toku wairua i nga wahi ngaro ki to koutou whakapehapeha: nui atu ano te tangi o toku kanohi, tarere iho ano nga roimata; no te mea ka whakaraua te kahui a Ihowa.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo ki ai ʻe tangi hoku laumālie ʻi he ngaahi potu lilo koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou fielahi; pea ʻe tangi lahi hoku mata, pea ʻe tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi loʻimata, koeʻuhi kuo ʻave fakapōpula ʻae fanga sipi ʻa Sihova.
18 Mea atu ki te kingi raua ko te kuini, Whakaititia korua, e noho: no te mea ka riro iho o korua whakapaipai mahunga, te karauna o to korua kororia.
Ke ke lea ki he tuʻi mo e tuʻi fefine, Mo fakavaivai ʻakimoua, ʻo nofo hifo: he te ne tō hifo mei homo ʻulu ʻae tatā ʻo homo nāunau.
19 Ka tutakina nga pa o te tonga, kahore he kaiwhakatuwhera, ka whakaraua katoatia a Hura, poto rawa ki te whakarau.
‌ʻE tāpuni ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻi he feituʻu tonga, pea ʻe ʻikai toʻo ʻe ha taha: ʻE fetuku fakapōpula ʻa Siuta kātoa; ʻe ʻave ia kotoa pē ʻo fakapōpulaʻi.
20 E ara o koutou kanohi, tirohia te hunga e haere mai ana i te raki: kei hea te kahui i hoatu ki a koe? tau kahui ataahua na?
Hanga hake homou mata, ʻo mamata kiate kinautolu kuo haʻu mei he tokelau: ko e fē ʻae fanga sipi naʻe tuku kiate koe, ko hoʻo fanga sipi matamatalelei?
21 Ka pehea tau kupu ina whakanohoia e ia ou hoa ki runga ake i a koe hei mahunga, nau na hoki ratou i ako hei rangatira, hei ariki mou? E kore ianei koe e mau pu i te mamae, ano he wahine e whakawhanau ana?
Ko e hā te ke lea ʻaki ʻoka tautea ʻe ia ʻa koe? He kuo ke akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu ke nau ʻeiki, mo pule kiate koe: ʻikai te ke moʻua ʻi he ngaahi mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e langā ʻae fefine?
22 Na ki te mea koe i roto i tou ngakau, He aha enei mea i pa ai ki ahau? Na te nui o tou kino i hurahia ai te remu o tou, i whakatupuria kinotia ai ou rekereke.
Pea kapau te ke pehē ʻi ho loto, Ko e hā kuo hoko ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate au? Ko e meʻa ʻi hono lahi ʻo hoʻo hia, ko ia kuo fakatelefuaʻi koe, kuo fakatelefua ʻa ho mui vaʻe.
23 E taea ranei e te Etiopiana te whakaputa ke tona kiri, e te reparo ranei tona kotingotingo? me kore noa e taea te mahi pai e koutou kua taunga nei ki te mahi kino.
‌ʻE faʻa liliu ʻe he ʻItiopea hono kili, pe ko e lēpati hono pulepule? Pea te mou toki faʻa fai lelei foki, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku maheni ai ʻi he fai kovi.
24 Ka titaritaria ano ratou e ahau, ano he papapa e rere ana i runga i te hau o te koraha.
Ko ia te u fakamovetevete ai ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko e mohuku ʻoku ʻave ʻe he matangi ki he toafa.
25 Ko te rota tena mau, ko te wahi i ruritia atu e ahau mou, e ai ta Ihowa; mou i wareware ki ahau, i whakawhirinaki ki te teka.
Ko ho ʻinasi eni, ko ho vahe kuo fuofua meiate au, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; koeʻuhi kuo ke fakangalongaloʻi au, mo ke falala ki he loi.
26 Ka hurahia hoki e ahau nga remu o tou ki runga ki tou kanohi, a ka kitea tou mea e whakama ai koe.
Ko ia te u fakatelefuaʻi koe, ke hā mai ai hoʻo mā.
27 Kua kite ahau i ou whakarihariha, i ou puremutanga, tau tangi a hoiho, te weriweri o tou moepuku, i runga i nga pukepuke i te parae. Aue te mate mou, e Hiruharama! e kore nei koe e meinga kia ma; a hea rawa ra ano?
Kuo u mamata ki hoʻo tonotangata, mo hoʻo holi, mo hono lahi ʻo hoʻo feʻauaki, mo hoʻo fai fakalielia ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga mo e ngoue. ʻE malaʻia koe, ʻE Selūsalema! ʻOku ʻikai te ke fie maʻa? ʻE hoko fakakū ia?”
