Heremaia 5

1 E oma, kopikopiko koutou i nga ara o Hiruharama, tirohia kia mohio ai koutou, rapua i nga waharoa o reira, me kahore e kite i tetahi tangata, mehemea tera he tangata e whakarite pai ana, e rapu ana i te pono; a ka murua e ahau nga he o reira.

“Mou felele aki ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema, pea mamata, mo ʻilo, pea kumi ʻi hono ngaahi potu laulahi, kapau te mou faʻa ʻiloʻi ha tangata, pea kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha taha ʻoku fakamaau totonu, ʻaia ʻoku kumi ki he moʻoni pea te u fakamolemole ia.

2 Na ahakoa mea noa ratou, Kei te ora a Ihowa; he pono he oati teka ta ratou.

Pea kapau ʻoku nau pehē, ‘ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova;’ ko e moʻoni ʻoku nau fuakava kākā pe.

3 He teka ianei, e Ihowa, kei runga ou kanohi i te pono? i whiua ratou e koe, heoi kihai i pouri; moti iho ratou i a koe, heoi kahore i pai kia anga mai ki te ako; kua meinga e ratou o ratou mata kia maro atu i te kohatu, kua kore e pai ki te hoki mai.

‌ʻE Sihova, ʻikai ʻoku hanga ki he moʻoni ʻa ho fofonga? Kuo ke taaʻi ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mamahi; kuo ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga ki he tautea: kuo nau fakafefeka hake honau mata ʻi ha maka; ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie tafoki.

4 Koia ahau i mea ai, He pono he rawakore enei, he kuware, kahore hoki ratou e mohio ki te ara a Ihowa, ki te whakarite a to ratou Atua;

Ko ia naʻaku pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku nau masiva: ʻoku nau vale: he ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fakamaau ʻa honau ʻOtua.

5 Ka haere ahau ki nga tangata rarahi, ka korero ki a ratou; e mohio ana hoki ratou ki te ara a Ihowa, ki te whakarite a to ratou Atua: heoi ko enei, kotahi tonu ratou tahi nana i wawahi te ioka, i motumotu hoki nga here.

Te u ʻalu ki he kau tangata poto, pea te u lea kiate kinautolu; he kuo nau ʻilo ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fakamaau ʻa honau ʻOtua;” ka ko kinautolu ni kuo nau maumauʻi ʻaupito ʻae haʻamonga, pea motuhi ʻae ngaahi haʻi.

6 Mo reira ka whakamatea ratou e te raiona i roto i te ngahere, ka pahuatia e te wuruhi o nga ahiahi, ka tuteia o ratou pa e te reparo, ko te hunga katoa e puta mai ki waho ka haehaea; he maha hoki o ratou pokanga ketanga, kua nui haere o ratou tah uritanga ketanga.

Ko ia ʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he laione mei he vao, pea ʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ulofi ʻoe efiafi, pea ʻe leʻo ki honau ngaahi kolo ʻe he lēpati: ko ia kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu atu ʻi ai ʻe haehae ke iiki; koeʻuhi ko ʻenau ngaahi angahala ʻoku lahi, pea ʻoku tupu ʻenau ngaahi fakaholomui.

7 Me pehea e murua ai e ahau tenei he ou? kua whakarere nei au tama i ahau, oatitia ana e ratou nga mea ehara nei i te atua; i to ratou makonatanga i taku kai, na kei te puremu, ropu tonu ratou i roto i nga whare o nga wahine kairau.

“ʻE fēfē ʻeku fakamolemole koe koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni? Kuo liʻaki au ʻe hoʻo fānau, pea fuakava ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai ko e ngaahi ʻotua: hili ʻeku fafanga ʻakinautolu ke mākona, naʻa nau fai angahala, pea nau fakataha ʻo tokolahi ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe kau faʻa feʻauaki.

8 Ko to ratou rite kei te hoiho whangai i te ata: e tangi ana ki te wahine a tona hoa, a tona hoa.

Pea naʻa nau hangē ko e fanga hoosi tau kuo fafanga ʻi he pongipongi: pea naʻa nau taki taha holi ki he uaifi ʻo hono kaungāʻapi.”

9 E kore ianei ahau e whiu mo enei mea? e ai ta Ihowa: e kore ianei toku wairua e rapu utu i te iwi penei?

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻIkai te u tautea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ʻikai ʻe totongi ʻe hoku laumālie ki he puleʻanga pehē?

10 Haere koutou ki runga ki ona taiepa wawahi ai; otiia kaua e whakapaua rawatia; whakakahoretia ona pekerangi; ehara hoki ena i a Ihowa

“Mou ʻalu hake ki hono ngaahi ʻā, pea fakaʻauha; kaeʻoua naʻa fakaʻosi ʻaupito; ʻave ʻa hono ngaahi vaʻa; he ʻoku ʻikai ʻo Sihova ʻakinautolu.”

11 He nui hoki te tinihanga o te whare o Iharaira raua ko te whare o Hura ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.

He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kuo fai kākā ʻaupito kiate au ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e fale ʻo Siuta.”

12 Kua whakakahore ratou ki ta Ihowa, kua mea, ehara i a ia; e kore hoki te he e tae mai ki a tatou; e kore ano tatou e kite i te hoari, i te hemokai.

Kuo nau fakafisingaʻi ʻa Sihova, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ko ia ia; ʻe ʻikai hoko ha kovi kiate kitautolu pea ʻe ʻikai te tau mamata ki he heletā pe ha honge.

13 Ko nga poropiti he hau kau, kahore hoki he kupu i a ratou: ko enei mea ka pa ki a ratou.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻae kau palōfita ʻo hangē ko e matangi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ha lea: ʻe hoko ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu.”

14 Na reira tenei kupu a Ihowa, a te Atua o nga mano, Mo ta koutou korerotanga i tena kupu, tenei ahau te mea nei i aku kupu i roto i tou mangai hei ahi, ko tenei iwi hoki hei rakau, a ka pau ratou.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Koeʻuhi kuo mou lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni, vakai, te u ngaohi ʻeku ngaahi lea ke hangē ko e afi ʻi ho ngutu, pea ko e kakai ni ke hangē ko e ʻakau, pea te ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu.”

15 Tenei ahau te kawe nei i tetahi iwi o tawhiti ki a koutou, e te whare o Iharaira, e ai ta Ihowa; he iwi kaha, he iwi nonamata riro, he iwi kahore nei koe e mohio ki tona reo, kahore ano hoki e marama ki tana e korero ai.

Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, Te u ʻomi ha kakai mei he mamaʻo kiate kimoutolu, ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e kakai mālohi, ko e kakai muʻa pe, ko e kakai ʻe ʻikai te ke poto ʻi heʻenau lea, pe ʻiloʻi ʻaia ʻoku nau lea ʻaki.

16 Ko tana papa pere he urupa tuwhera, he tangata marohirohi katoa ratou.

‌ʻOku tatau honau hōfangahau mo e fonualoto kuo matangaki, ko e kau tangata mālohi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.

17 A ka pau i a ratou au hua e kotia ana, me tau taro, nga kai hei kainga ma au tama, ma au tamahine; ka pau i a ratou au hipi me au kau; ka pau i a ratou au waina me au piki; ka hautopea iho ki te hoari ou pa taiepa, au i whakawhirinaki ai.

Pea te nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻa homou taʻu, pea mo hoʻomou mā, ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke kai ʻe ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine: te nau kai ke ʻosi hoʻo fanga sipi mo hoʻo fanga manu: te nau kai ke ʻosi hoʻo ngaahi vaine mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e fiki: te nau fakamasiva ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻa ho ngaahi kolo mālohi, ʻaia naʻa ke falala ki ai.”

18 Ahakoa i aua ra ano, e ai ta Ihowa, e kore e whakapaua rawatia taku ki a koutou.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ka ʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻosi ʻaupito ʻakimoutolu, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.

19 Na, ki te ki mai koutou a mua, He aha a Ihowa, to tatou Atua i mea ai i enei mea katoa ki a tatou? ko reira koe ki atu ai ki a ratou, Ka pena i a koutou kua whakarere na i ahau, kua mahi na ki nga atua ke i to koutou whenua, waihoki ka mahi kout ou ki nga tangata ke i te whenua ehara nei i a koutou.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka mou ka pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku fai ai ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kitautolu?’ Pea te ke toki lea pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻO hangē kuo mou liʻaki au, pea tauhi ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe ʻo homou fonua, ʻe pehē hoʻomou tauhi ki he kakai muli ʻi he fonua ʻoku ʻikai ʻomoutolu.’

20 Whakaaturia tenei i roto i te whare o Hakopa, kia rangona ano i roto i a Hura; mea atu,

“Fakahā ʻae meʻa ni ʻi he fale ʻo Sēkope, pea fakahā ia ʻia Siuta, ʻo pehē,

21 Tena, whakarongo ki tenei, e te iwi wairangi kahore nei he ngakau, he kanohi nei o ratou, heoi kahore e kite, he taringa o ratou, a kahore e rongo.

‘Fanongo, ki he meʻa ni, ʻae kakai vale, pea taʻeloto; ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mata, ka ʻoku ʻikai mamata; ʻakimoutolu ʻoku telinga ka ʻoku ʻikai ongoʻi.’

22 Kahore ranei o koutou wehi ki ahau? e ai ta Ihowa; e kore ianei koutou e hopohopo ki toku aroaro? naku nei hoki i mea te onepu hei rohe ki te moana, he tikanga mau tonu, e kore ano e koni mai: ahakoa ngana noa ona ngaru, e kore e taea ta ratou; hamama noa, e kore ano e koni mai.

‌ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻIkai te mou manavahē kiate au? ʻE ʻikai te mou tetetete ʻi hoku ʻao? Kuo u ʻai ʻae ʻoneʻone ko e fakangatangata ʻoe tahi ʻi he fono taʻengata, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa laka ai; kapau ʻe hake hono ngaahi peau, ʻe ʻikai te nau mālohi; kapau te nau ʻuʻulu, ka ʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa laka ai.’

23 Ko tenei iwi ia, he tutu, he whakakeke o ratou ngakau; kua peka ke atu ratou, kua riro.

“Ka ʻoku maʻu ʻe he kakai ni ʻae loto tafoki mo angatuʻu; kuo nau tafoki pea ʻalu.

24 Kahore hoki a ratou kianga ake i roto i o ratou ngakau, Tena, kia wehi tatou ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua, ko ia nei te kaihomai i te ua; i to mua, i to muri, i te wa e tika ai; nana nei i mau ai ki a tatou nga wiki i whakaritea mo te kotinga.

Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau pehē ʻi honau loto, ‘Ko eni, ke tau manavahē kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki kiate kitautolu ʻae ʻuha muʻa mo e ʻuha mui, ʻi hono ʻaho totonu: pea kuo ne tauhi maʻatautolu ʻae ngaahi uike tuʻutuʻuni ki he ututaʻu.’

25 Na o koutou he enei i puta ke ai, ko o koutou hara ano hei kaiponu atu i te pai i a koutou.

“Kuo fakaafe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni meiate kimoutolu ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi angahala, pea kuo taʻofi ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei meiate kimoutolu ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi hia.

26 E kitea ana hoki he hunga kino i roto i taku iwi: titiro matatau mai ana ratou, me te mea he kaihopu manu e kupapa ana; kei te whakatakoto mahanga ratou, kei te hopu tangata.

He ʻoku ai ʻae kau angakovi ʻi hoku kakai: ʻoku nau toitoi, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku tautau ʻae ngaahi hele; ʻoku nau ʻai ʻae tauhele, ke nau moʻua ai ʻae kau tangata.

27 Kei te whare manu e ki ana i nga manu te rite o o ratou whare e ki tonu nei i te tinihanga: na reira ratou i nui ai, i whai taonga ai.

Pea ʻoku pito honau ngaahi fale ʻi he kākā, ʻo hangē ʻoku pito ʻae finaki ʻi he ngaahi manupuna: ko ia kuo nau hoko ai ke lahi, pea maʻu meʻa.

28 Tetere tonu ratou, towahiwahi ana; kua neke rawa ake ta ratou i nga mahi a te hunga kino: ko te whakawa, ko te whakawa a te pani, kahore i whakaritea e ratou, heoi kake tonu ratou; kahore hoki e whakatikaia e ratou te whakawa a nga rawakore.

Kuo nau hoko ke sino, pea ngingila; ʻio, kuo nau kovi lahi hake ʻi he kau angahala: ʻoku ʻikai te nau fakamaau ʻae meʻa, ko e meʻa ʻae tamai mate; pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau fakamaau ʻae meʻa totonu ʻae masiva, ka ʻoku nau monūʻia.”

29 E kore ranei ahau e whai mahara ki enei mea? e ai ta Ihowa; e kore ranei toku wairua e rapu utu i te iwi penei?

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “ʻIkai te u tautea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni?”

30 Whakamiharo rawa, whakawehi rawa te mea e meatia ana ki te whenua;

Kuo fai ha meʻa fakaofo mo fakailifia ʻi he fonua.

31 E poropiti teka ana nga poropiti; a e whakahaere ana nga tohunga, ko ta ratou te tikanga; a pai tonu taku iwi ki te pena. Na ka pehea ra koutou i tona tukunga iho?

‌ʻOku kikite kākā ʻae kau palōfita, pea ʻoku kau taha mo kinautolu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki; pea ʻoku loto ʻa hoku kakai ke pehē pe ia: pea ko e hā te mou fai ʻi hono ikuʻanga?
