Heremaia 2

1 I puta ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,

Pea naʻe toe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

2 Haere, karanga ki nga taringa o Hiruharama, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, E mahara ana ahau ki a koe, ki te mahi pai a tou tamarikitanga, ki te aroha i tou marenatanga, i a koe i aru i ahau i te koraha, i te whenua kihai i whakatokia.

“ʻAlu ʻo kalanga ki he telinga ʻo Selūsalema, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova; “ʻOku ou manatuʻi koe, ko e angalelei naʻe fai kiate koe ʻi hoʻo kei siʻi, mo e ʻofa naʻe fakahā ʻi hoʻo fakanofo, ʻi hoʻo muimui kiate au ʻi he toafa, ʻi he fonua naʻe ʻikai tūtuuʻi.

3 He tapu a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, ko nga matamua ia o ona hua: ko te hunga katoa e kai ana i a ia, ka kiia he he ta ratou; ka pa te kino ki a ratou, e ai ta Ihowa.

Naʻe fakatapui ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova, ko e ʻuluaki fua ʻo hono tupu: ʻe halaia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fakaʻauha ia;’” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻE hoko ʻae kovi kiate kinautolu.”

4 Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e te whare o Hakopa, e nga hapu katoa o te whare o Iharaira:

‌ʻE fale ʻo Sēkope, pea mo e faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, mou fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.

5 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, He aha taku kino i mau i o koutou matua, i matara atu ai ratou i ahau, i whai ai ratou i te horihori, a horihori iho ratou?

ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko e hā ʻae kovi kuo ʻiloʻi ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻiate au, koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki au, pea muimui ki he meʻa noa pe, pea kuo nau hoko ʻo vale?

6 Kahore hoki a ratou kainga ake, Kei hea a Ihowa, nana nei tatou i kawe mai i te whenua o Ihipa, nana nei tatou i arahi i te koraha, i te whenua titohea, he maha nei nga rua, i te whenua o te matewai, o te atarangi o te mate, i te whenua kihai i h aerea e te tangata, kihai ano i nohoia e te tangata?

Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau pehē, ‘Ko e fē ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakimautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻa ne tataki ʻakimautolu ʻi he toafa; ʻi he fonua lala pea luoluo, ʻi he fonua mōmoa, mo e malumalu ʻoe mate, ʻi he fonua kuo ʻikai fononga ki ai ha tangata, pea ʻoku ʻikai nofo ai ha tangata?’

7 A naku koutou i kawe mai ki te whenua maha ona hua, ki te kai i ona hua, i ona mea papai. Na, i to koutou taenga mai, kei te whakapoke i toku whenua, meinga ana e koutou toku wahi tupu hei mea whakarihariha.

Pea naʻaku ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he fonua mahu, ke kai hono fua, mo hono lelei ʻo ia; ka ʻi hoʻomou hū ki ai, kuo mou fakakoviʻi hoku fonua, pea ngaohi hoku tofiʻa ko e meʻa fakalielia.

8 Kahore nga tohunga i ki, Kei hea a Ihowa; ko nga kairahurahu o te ture, kahore i matau ki ahau; kua he hoki nga rangatira ki ahau; ko nga poropiti, na Paara nga tikanga i poropiti ai ratou, whaia ana e ratou nga mea kahore nei he pai.

Naʻe ʻikai pehē ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, ‘Ko e fē ʻa Sihova?’ Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻiloʻi au ʻekinautolu naʻe maheni ai ʻi he fono: pea naʻe angatuʻu kiate au ʻae kau tauhi foki, pea naʻe kikite ʻae kau palōfita ʻi he hingoa ʻo Peali, pea nau muimui ki he ngaahi meʻa taʻeʻaonga.”

9 Mo reira ka totohe ano ahau ki a koutou, e ai ta Ihowa, ka totohe hoki ahau ki nga tama a a koutou tama.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, “Te u toe lea kiate kimoutolu, pea te u kole ki hoʻomou fānau, pea mo e fānau ʻa hoʻomou fānau.

10 Tena ra, whiti atu ki nga motu o Kitimi titiro ai; unga tangata ano ki Kerara, ka whakaaroaro marie; tirohia hoki mehemea tera ano te rite o tenei mea i mua.

Koeʻuhi, ke mou ʻalu ki he ngaahi motu ʻo Kitimi, ʻo mamata; pea fekau ki Keta, pea fakakaukau lahi, pea vakai, pe ʻoku ai ha meʻa pehē.

11 I whakaputaia ketia ranei ona atua e tetahi iwi, ehara nei ano i te atua? Na, ko toku iwi, kua whakaputaina ketia e ratou to ratou kororia hei mea kahore ona pai.

‌ʻOku ai ha kakai kuo fetongi honau ngaahi ʻotua, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ko e ʻotua? Ka kuo fetongi ʻa hoku kakai honau nāunau ki he meʻa taʻeʻaonga.”

12 Miharo mai, e nga rangi, ki tenei, kia nui hoki te wehi, kia ngaro noa iho, e ai ta Ihowa.

‌ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, “ʻE ngaahi langi mou ofo ki he meʻa ni, pea mou manavahē fakailifia; pea tetetete lahi ʻaupito,

13 Ka rua hoki nga he kua mahia nei e taku iwi; ko ahau, ko te puna o nga wai ora kua mahue i a ratou, haua iho e ratou etahi poka, he poka pakaru, e kore nei e mau te wai ki roto.

“He kuo fai ʻe hoku kakai ʻae meʻa kovi ʻe ua: kuo nau liʻaki au ko e matavai moʻui, pea kuo nau tā kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi ʻaiʻanga vai, ko e ngaahi ʻaiʻanga vai mafōfoa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa maʻu ai ha vai.

14 He pononga ranei a Iharaira? he pononga i whanau ki te whare? he aha ia i waiho ai hei pahuatanga?

“Ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻIsileli? Pe ko e hako ia ʻoe tamaioʻeiki? Ka ko e hā kuo fakamālohi ai ia?

15 Kua ngengere nga raiona kuao ki a ia, kua hamama: a kua meinga e ratou tona whenua kia ururua; kua tahuna ona pa, kahore hoki te tangata noho i reira.

Naʻe ngungulu kiate ia ʻae fanga laione mui, kuo nau tangi ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, kuo nau fakalala ʻae fonua: kuo tutu hono ngaahi kolo pea ʻoku ʻikai ha kakai.

16 I pakaru ano tou tumuaki i nga tamariki o Nopo, o Tahapanehe.

Pea kuo fakavolu foki ho tumuʻaki, ʻe he fānau ʻo Nofi mo Tapanesi.

17 He teka ianei nau ano tenei i mahi ki a koe, i te mea nau i whakarere a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a ia e arahi ana i a koe i te ara?

“ʻIkai kuo hoko ʻae meʻa ni kiate koe ʻiate koe pe, ʻi hoʻo liʻaki ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻi heʻene tataki koe ʻi he hala?

18 Tena ra ko te aha mau i te ara ki Ihipa i inu ai koe i nga wai o Hihoro? he aha ranei mau i te ara ki Ahiria, i inu ai koe i nga wai o te awa?

Pea ko eni, ko e hā ʻaʻau te ke ʻalu ai ʻi he hala ki ʻIsipite, ke inu ʻi he ngaahi vai ʻo Sihoa? Pea ko e hā te ke ʻalu ai koe ʻi he hala ki ʻAsilia, ke inu ʻi he vai ʻoe vaitafe?

19 Ko tou he ano hei riri i tau, ko ou tahuritanga ketanga ano hei papaki i a koe. Kia mohio koe, kia kite hoki, he mea kino, he mea kawa, kei tau whakarerenga i a Ihowa, i tou Atua, kahore hoki ou wehi ki ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa o nga man o.

“ʻE tautea koe ʻe hoʻo angahala ʻaʻau, pea ʻe valokiʻi koe ʻe hoʻo fakaholomui: ko ia ke ke ʻilo mo vakai, ko e meʻa kovi mo fakamamahi, ʻa hoʻo liʻaki ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke manavahē kiate au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

20 I wahia hoki tou ioka e ahau i mua, motumotuhia ana e ahau ou here; a ki mai ana koe, E kore ahau e mahi; heoi i runga koe i nga pukepuke tiketike katoa, i raro hoki i nga rakau kouru nui katoa, e koropiko ana, e kairau ana.

“He talu mei muʻa kuo u maumauʻi hoʻo haʻamonga, pea motuhi ho ngaahi haʻi; pea naʻa ke pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te u fai kovi;’ ka kuo ke ʻeveʻeva ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he lolo ʻakau mata kotoa pē ʻo fai angahala.

21 He waina pai ano koe i taku whakatokanga i a koe, he momo pai katoa. Na te aha koe i puta ke ai ki ahau, he mea kua heke te tupu, he waina ke?

Ka naʻaku tō koe, ko e vaine lelei, ko e tenga lelei ʻaupito: pea ʻoku fēfē ai haʻo liliu ko e ʻakau kovi, ko e vaine kehe kiate au?”

22 Ahakoa i horoi koe i a koe ki te houra, a nui noa tau hopi, e mau ana ano tou he ki toku aroaro, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

He ʻoku pehē mai ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova, “Kapau te ke fufulu koe ʻaki ʻae naita, pea toʻo kiate koe ʻae koa lahi, ka ʻoku kei ʻilonga ʻa hoʻo hia ʻi hoku ʻao.

23 He pehea tau ki, Kahore oku poke, kihai ahau i whai i a Paarimi? Tirohia iho ou ara i te raorao, kia mohio ki au mahi. Tou rite, kei te kamera tere kopikopiko tonu ona ara;

“ʻE fēfē koā ʻa hoʻo pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻuli, ʻoku ʻikai te u muimui kia Peali’? Vakai ki hoʻo ʻulungāanga ʻi he teleʻa, ke ke ʻilo ʻaia kuo ke fai: ko e kāmeli veʻe vave koe, ʻoku feʻaluʻaki ʻi hono ngaahi hala;

24 Kei te kaihe mohoao kua mohio ki te koraha, e hongi ana i te hau mo tona hiahia; ka matenui ia ko wai hei whakahoki i a ia? ko te hunga katoa e rapu ana i a ia e kore e whakangenge noa i a ratou; i tona marama ano ka kitea ia e ratou.

Ko e ʻasi hehengi ʻoku maheni ai mo e toafa, ʻaia ʻoku ne folohifo ʻae matangi ʻi heʻene holi; pea ʻi heʻene pehē ko hai ʻoku faʻa fakafoki ia? ʻE ʻikai kumi fakafiuʻi ia ʻe ha taha; ka te nau ʻilo ia ʻi hono māhina.

25 Kaiponuhia tou waewae, kei kore te hu, tou korokoro hoki kei mate i te wai. Na, kei te mea koe, Kua he: kahore; he tangata ke hoki aku i aroha ai, a ko ratou taku e whai ai.

“Taʻofi ho vaʻe mei he taʻetopuvaʻe, pea mo ho kia mei he fieinu: ka naʻa ke pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻamanaki:’ ʻoku ʻikai; he kuo u ʻofa ki he kau muli, pea te u muimui pe kiate kinautolu.’

26 Ka whakama te tahae ina mau, ka pena ano te whare o Iharaira, ka whakama; ratou ko o ratou kingi, ko o ratou rangatira, ko o ratou tohunga, ko o ratou poropiti,

Hangē ʻoku mā ʻae kaihaʻa ʻi hono ʻiloʻi ia, ʻoku pehē ʻae mā ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli; ko kinautolu, mo honau ngaahi tuʻi, mo honau houʻeiki, mo honau kau taulaʻeiki, mo honau kau palōfita.

27 I a ratou e mea na ki te rakau, Ko koe toku papa; ki te kamaka, I whanau ahau i roto i a koe, hurihia ake e ratou ko te kohamo ki ahau, kahore hoki te aroaro: heoi i te wa e he ai ratou, ka ki mai ratou, Whakatika ki te whakaora i a matou.

Ko kinautolu ʻoku pehē ki he ʻakau, ‘Ko ʻeku tamai koe;’ pea ki he maka, ‘Naʻa ke fāʻeleʻi au:’ he kuo nau fulituʻa kiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai hanga mai honau mata: ka ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻenau mamahi te nau lea, ʻo pehē mai, ‘Tuʻu hake, ʻo fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu.’

28 Kei hea ra ou atua i hanga e koe mou? kia whakatika ratou, ki te mea ka ora koe i a ratou i te wa e he ai koe: rite tonu hoki ki ou pa te maha o ou atua, e Hura.

“Kā ko e fē ho ngaahi ʻotua kuo ke ngaohi moʻou? Ke tuʻu hake ʻakinautolu, kapau te nau faʻa fakamoʻui koe ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi: he ʻoku hangē ko hono lahi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi kolo, ʻE Siuta, ʻoku pehē hono tokolahi ʻo ho ngaahi ʻotua.

29 He aha te mea e totohe ai koutou ki ahau? kua mahi ke koutou katoa i te kino ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.

“Ko e hā te mou tukuakiʻi ai au? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kuo angatuʻu kiate au ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē.”

30 Maumau whiu noa ahau i a koutou tamariki; kihai ratou i akona: ko ta koutou hoari nana i kai o koutou poropiti, i pera ano me ta te raiona kai kino.

“Kuo taʻeʻaonga ʻeku taaʻi hoʻomou fānau; he ʻoku ʻikai te nau poto ai: kuo fakaʻauha homou kau palōfita, ʻaki hoʻomou heletā ʻamoutolu, ʻo hangē ko e laione fakaʻauha.

31 E te whakatupuranga nei, whakaaroa te kupu a Ihowa, He koraha ranei ahau ki a Iharaira? he whenua pouri kerekere? he aha taku iwi i mea ai, Kua matara matou; heoi ano o matou taenga atu ki a koe?

‌ʻAe toʻutangata, mou tokanga ki he folofola ʻa Sihova. He naʻaku hoko ko e toafa ki ʻIsileli? Pe ko e fonua fakapoʻuli? Pea ko e hā ʻoku pehē ai ʻa hoku kakai, ‘Ko e houʻeiki ʻakimautolu; pea ʻe ʻikai te mau toe haʻu kiate koe?’

32 E wareware ranei te kotiro ki ana whakapaipai, te wahine marena hou ki ona whitiki? ko taku iwi ia kua wareware ki ahau, e kore nga ra e taea te tatau.

“ʻE faʻa fakangaloʻi ʻe he tāupoʻou ʻa ʻene teunga, pe ko e taʻahine taʻane ʻa ʻene teuteu? Kā kuo fakangalongaloʻi au ʻe hoku kakai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho taʻefaʻalaua.

33 Tau mahi ki te whakapai i tou ara hei rapunga i te aroha! Na kei te whakaako koe i nga wahine kikino ano hoki ki ou ara.

Ko e hā ʻoku ke teuteu ai ho hala ke kumi ʻae ʻofa? Ko ia kuo ke akonaki ʻaki ho ngaahi hala ki he kau angahala foki.

34 Kua kitea ano ki nga remu o ou kakahu te toto o nga wairua o nga ware harakore. Kihai i kitea e ahau i te wahi i pakaru ai, engari i runga i enei katoa.

Kuo ʻiloʻi foki ʻae toto ʻoe ngaahi laumālie taʻehalaia ʻi he kapa ʻo ho kofu: ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ia ʻi he kumi lahi, ka ʻoku fakahāhā pe ia ʻiate kinautolu ni kotoa pē.

35 Heoi kei te ki na koe, He harakore nei ahau; he pono e tahuri ke atu ana tona riri i ahau. Nana, ka whakawa ahau i a koe, mo tau kianga, Kahore oku hara.

“Ka ʻoku ke pehē ʻe koe, ‘ʻOku ou taʻehalaia, pea ko ia ʻe fakaafe ʻa hono houhau ʻiate au.’ “Vakai, te u fakamaauʻi koe, koeʻuhi ʻoku ke pehē, ‘Naʻe ʻikai te ke fai kovi.’

36 He aha koe i kopikopiko rawa ai, i mea ai kia pokaia ketia he ara mou? Ka whakama ano koe ki Ihipa, ka pera me koe i whakama ra ki Ahiria.

Ko e hā ʻoku ke ʻalu fano ai pe ke fetongi ho hala? Te ke mā foki ki ʻIsipite, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo mā ki ʻAsilia.

37 Ina, ka haere atu ano koe i reira, i runga ano ou ringa i tou matenga, no te mea kua paopao a Ihowa ki ou whakawhirinakitanga, e kore ano koe e whai wahi i ena.

‌ʻIo, te ke ʻalu meiate ia, kuo ʻai ho nima ki ho ʻulu: he kuo liʻaki ʻe Sihova ho ngaahi falalaʻanga, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke monūʻia ai.”
