Heremaia 20

1 Na ka rongo a Pahuru tama a Imere tohunga, tino kawana i roto i te whare o Ihowa, i a Heremaia e poropiti ana i enei mea.

Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Pasuli ko e foha ʻo Imeli ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻaia foki ko e fungani pule ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe kikite ʻa Selemaia ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.

2 Katahi a Pahuru ka patu i a Heremaia poropiti, kuhuna ana e ia ki te here waewae i te kuwaha o runga o Pineamine, ki tera i te whare o Ihowa.

Naʻe toki taaʻi ʻe Pasuli ʻa Selemaia ko e palōfita, pea tuku ia ki he fale fakapōpula ʻaia naʻe ʻi he matapā māʻolunga ʻo Penisimani, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he fale ʻo Sihova.

3 Na i te aonga ake ka whakaputaina mai a Heremaia e Pahuru i te here waewae. Katahi a Heremaia ka mea ki a ia, Ehara a Pahuru i te ingoa i huaina e Ihowa mou, engari ko Makoro Mihapipi.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe ʻomi ʻe Pasuli ʻa Selemaia mei he fale fakapōpula. Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Selemaia kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai ui ʻe Sihova ho hingoa ko Pasuli ka ‘ko Mekoa-Misapipi.’

4 No te mea ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka meinga koe e ahau hei whakawehi mou ano, mo ou hoa katoa ano hoki; ka hinga ratou i te hoari a o ratou hoariri, me te titiro ano ou kanohi: ka hoatu ano e ahau a Hura katoa ki te ringa o te kingi o Pap urona, a mana ratou e whakarau ki Papurona, e patu ki te hoari.

He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Vakai, te u ngaohi koe ko e meʻa ilifia kiate koe, pea mo ho kāinga kotoa pē: pea te nau tō ʻi he heletā ʻo honau ngaahi fili, pea ʻe mamata ki ai ho mata: pea te u tukuange ʻa Siuta kotoa pē ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te ne ʻave fakapōpula ʻakinautolu ki Papilone, pea ʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae heletā.

5 Ka hoatu ano e ahau nga rawa katoa o tenei pa, me ana mea katoa i hua mai, me ana mea utu nui katoa, ae ra, me nga taonga katoa o nga kingi o Hura, ka hoatu e ahau ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri, a ka pahuatia e ratou, ka tangohia, ka maua hoki ki Papurona.

Pea te u tukuange ʻae mālohi kotoa pē ʻoe kolo ni, pea mo ʻenau ngāue kotoa pē, mo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa maʻungataʻa kotoa pē, pea mo e ngaahi koloa kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta te u tukuange ki he nima ʻo honau ngaahi fili, ʻaia ʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe toʻo ʻakinautolu mo ʻave ʻakinautolu ki Papilone.

6 Na, ko koe, e Pahuru, koutou ko nga tangata katoa e noho ana i tou whare, ka riro koutou ki te whakarau: a ka tae koe ki Papurona, mate atu ki reira, tanumia atu ki reira, a koe me ou hoa aroha katoa, i poropiti teka atu na koe ki a ratou.

Pea ko koe Pasuli, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi ho fale ʻe ʻave fakapōpula: pea te ke aʻu ki Papilone, pea te ke mate ai, pea tanu ai, ko koe, mo ho ngaahi kāinga, ʻakinautolu kuo ke kikite loi ki ai.’”

7 E Ihowa, nau ahau i hangarau, a raru ana ahau: he kaha rawa koe i ahau, a kua taea tau: kua waiho ahau hei whakakatanga i te ra katoa, kei te whakatoia ahau e te katoa.

ʻE Sihova, kuo ke akonakiʻi au, pea kuo u tui ki hoʻo akonaki: ʻoku ke mālohi ʻiate au, pea kuo ke lavaʻi: Ko e manukiʻanga au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea ʻoku nau manuki kotoa pē kiate au.

8 I oku korerotanga katoa hoki, ka hamama ahau; ka karanga ahau, He mahi nanakia, he pahua: no te mea kua waiho te kupu a Ihowa hei tawainga moku, hei whakatoinga, i te ra katoa.

‌ʻO kau ka lea, kuo u kalanga, kuo u kalanga, “Ko e fakamālohi mo e maumauʻi;” koeʻuhi kuo ngaohi ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ko e meʻa ongoongo kovi kiate au, pea ko e manukiʻanga, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.

9 A ki te ki ahau, E kore ahau e whakahua i a ia, e kore ano hoki e korero i runga i tona ingoa a muri ake nei; na ka ka i roto i toku ngakau me te mea he ahi e ngiha ana, tutaki iho ki roto ki oku whenua, a ka ruha ahau i te koromaki, a kahore e t aea e ahau te pupuri.

Pea naʻaku pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u toe lea kiate ia, pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe lea ʻi hono huafa.” Ka naʻe tatau ʻene folofola ʻi hoku loto mo e afi vela kuo ʻufia ʻi hoku ngaahi hui, pea naʻaku fiu ʻi he taʻofi, pea naʻe ʻikai teu faʻa fakalongo pe.

10 Kua rongo hoki ahau i te hahani a te tini, he whakawehi i nga taha katoa. Whakahengia, a ka whakahengia ia e matou, e ai ta oku hoa tapui katoa, te hunga e whanga ana i ahau kia tatu; tera pea ia e taea te whakawai, a ka kaha tatou ki a ia, a ka whiwhi tatou ki te utu i a ia.

He kuo u fanongo ki he lea launoa pe ʻoe tokolahi, ke ke fakahā ʻae fakailifia ʻi he potu kotoa pē, pea te mau fakahā ia: naʻe ʻamanaki ʻa hoku kāinga tokolahi ki heʻeku hinga, pea naʻe pehē, “Heiʻilo ʻe tauheleʻi nai ia, pea te tau mālohi kiate ia, pea te tau tautea kiate ia.”

11 Otiia kei ahau a Ihowa, ano he marohirohi, he mea whakamataku: na reira ka tutuki nga waewae o oku kaitukino, e kore hoki ta ratou e taea: tera e nui to ratou whakama, he whakama mau tonu, a e kore e warewarea, no te mea kihai i mahia ta ratou i runga i te whakaaro nui.

Ka ʻoku ʻiate au ʻa Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e tokotaha mālohi fakamanavahē: ko ia ʻe tūkia ʻa hoku kau fakatanga, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau mālohi: te nau mā lahi; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te nau monūʻia: ʻe ʻikai fakangaloʻi ʻenau mā ʻo taʻengata.

12 Otiia, e Ihowa o nga mano, e whakamatautau nei i te tangata tika, e kite nei i nga whatumanawa, i te ngakau, tukua ahau kia kite i tau utu ki a ratou; kua whakakitea nei hoki e ahau ki a koe taku totohe.

‌ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻa koe, ʻoku ke ʻahiʻahi ʻae angatonu, pea ʻiloʻi ʻae ngaahi mahalo pea mo e loto, tuku ke u mamata ki ho houhau kiate kinautolu: he kuo u fakahā ʻeku meʻa kiate koe.

13 Waiata ki a Ihowa, whakamoemititia a Ihowa; kua whakaorangia nei hoki e ia te wairua o te rawakore i te ringa o nga kaimahi i te kino.

Mou hiva kia Sihova, mou fakamālō kia Sihova: he kuo ne fakahaofi ʻae laumālie ʻoe masiva mei he nima ʻoe kau fai kovi.

14 Kia kanga te rangi i whanau ai ahau; kaua e whakapaingia te ra i puta mai ai ahau i roto i toku whaea.

Ke malaʻia ʻae ʻaho naʻaku fāʻeleʻi ai: pea ʻoua naʻa monūʻia ʻae ʻaho naʻe fāʻeleʻi ai au ʻe heʻeku faʻē.

15 Kia kanga te tangata nana i kawe te korero ki toku papa, i mea, Kua whanau he tamaiti mau, he tane; meinga ana kia nui tona koa.

Ke malaʻia ʻae tangata naʻe fakahā au ki heʻeku tamai, ʻo pehē, “Kuo fāʻeleʻi kiate koe ʻae tamasiʻi tangata, ke fakafiefiaʻi ia.”

16 Kia rite taua tangata ki nga pa i hurihia e Ihowa, kihai nei i ripenetatia e ia: kia rangona e ia te karanga i te ata, te hamama i te poutumarotanga;

Ke tatau ʻae tangata ko ia mo e ngaahi kolo ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai fakatomala: ke fanongo ia ki he kaila ʻi he pongipongi, pea mo e kalanga ʻi he hoʻatā;

17 He kore nona kihai i whakamate i ahau i te putanga mai ano i te kopu; a kia waiho ai toku whaea hei urupa moku, kia mau tonu ai te hapu o tona kopu.

Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ne tāmateʻi au ʻi he manāva; pea u faʻitoka ʻaki ʻeku faʻē, pea u nofomaʻu ʻi hono manāva.

18 He aha ahau i puta mai ai i te kopu, kia kite i te raruraru, i te mauiui, kia poto ano oku ra i te whakama?

Ko e hā naʻaku haʻu ai mei he manāva ke ʻilo ʻae ongosia mo e mamahi, pea ke fakaʻosi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he mā?
