Heremaia 1
1 Ko nga kupu a Heremaia tama a Hirikia, ko ia nei tetahi o nga tohunga i Anatoto i te whenua o Pineamine:
Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa Selemaia, ko e foha ʻo Hilikia, ko e tokotaha ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki naʻe nofo ʻi ʻAnatoti ʻi he fonua ʻo Penisimani:
2 I puta nei ki a ia te kupu a Ihowa i nga ra o Hohia tama a Amono, kingi o Hura, i te tekau ma toru o nga tau o tona kingitanga.
ʻAia naʻe hoko ki ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Siosaia, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmoni, ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻi hono hongofulu ma tolu taʻu ʻo ʻene pule.
3 I puta ano hoki i nga ra o Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura, a taka noa te tekau ma tahi o nga tau o Terekia tama a Hohia kingi o Hura, taea noatia te whakaraunga o Hiruharama i te rima o nga marama.
Naʻe hoko foki ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ko e tuʻi Siuta, ʻo aʻu ki hono fakaʻosi hono hongofulu ma taha taʻu ʻo Setikia ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo aʻu ki hono ʻave fakapōpula ʻa Selūsalema ʻi hono nima māhina.
4 Na i puta te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
Pea naʻe toki hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
5 Kiano koe i hanga e ahau i roto i te kopu, kua mohio ahau ki a koe, a kiano koe i puta mai i te puku, kua whakatapua koe e ahau; kua whakaritea koe e ahau hei poropiti ki nga iwi.
“Naʻaku ʻilo koe ʻi he teʻeki ai te u fakatupu koe ʻi he fatu; pea naʻaku fakatapui koe, pea tuʻutuʻuni koe, ko e palōfita ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻi he teʻeki ai te ke haʻu mei he manāva.”
6 Na ka mea ahau, Aue, e Ihowa, e te Atua, nana, kahore e taea e ahau te korero, he tamariki nei hoki ahau.
Pea naʻaku toki pehē, “ʻOiauē! ʻE ʻEiki ko Sihova! Vakai, ʻOku ʻikai te u faʻa lea: he ko e tamasiʻi au.”
7 Ano ra ko Ihowa ki ahau, Kaua e mea, He tamariki ahau: no te mea, ahakoa ko wai te hunga e unga atu ai koe e ahau, me haere tonu koe, me korero hoki e koe nga mea katoa e whakahaua e ahau ki a koe.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “ʻOua naʻa ke pehē, ko e tamasiʻi koe: ka ke ʻalu kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ou fekau koe ki ai, pea ko ia te u fekau kiate koe ke ke lea ʻaki.
8 Kaua e wehi i a ratou; kei a koe hoki ahau hei whakaora i a koe, e ai ta Ihowa.
Pea ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē ki honau mata: he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻoku ou ʻiate koe, ke fakamoʻui koe.”
9 Na ka totoro mai te ringa o Ihowa, a ka pa ki toku mangai; a ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Nana, kua hoatu nei e ahau aku kupu ki tou mangai:
Pea naʻe toki mafao mai ʻe Sihova hono nima, ʻo ala ki hoku ngutu. Pea pehē mai ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Vakai, ʻoku ou ʻai ʻeku ngaahi lea ki ho ngutu.
10 Titiro, no tenei ra i meinga ai koe e ahau hei whakatakoto tikanga ki nga iwi, ki nga kingitanga, hei unu atu, hei wahi iho, hei whakangaro, hei turaki iho, hei hanga, hei whakato.
Vakai, Kuo u foaki kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho ni ʻae mālohi ki he ngaahi kakai, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, ke taʻaki, mo veteki, ke fakaʻauha, mo lī ki lalo, ke langa hake, mo tō.”
11 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea, He aha te mea e kite na koe, e Heremaia? Ano ra ko ahau, He peka aramona taku e kite nei.
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Selemaia, ko e hā ʻoku ke mamata ki ai?” Pea naʻaku pehē, “ʻOku ou mamata ki he vaʻa ʻoe ʻakau ko e ʻalimoni.”
12 Ano ra ko Ihowa ki ahau, Ka pai tau tirohanga atu; no te mea ka tirohia e ahau taku kupu, ka mahia.
Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Kuo ke mamata totonu: he te u fakavave ʻeku lea ke fakahoko ia.”
13 Na ko te rua o nga putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea ia, He aha te mea e kite na koe? Ano ra ko ahau, He kohua e koropupu ana taku e kite nei, a ko tona mata e anga mai ana i te raki.
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻo liunga ua kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke mamata ki ai?” Pea naʻaku pehē, “ʻOku ou mamata ki he kulo vela; ʻoku hanga mai hono ngutu mei he tokelau.”
14 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Ka puta mai i te raki he kino mo nga tangata katoa o te whenua.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “ʻE tupu mei he tokelau ʻae kovi ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua.
15 Tenei hoki ahau te karanga nei ki nga hapu katoa o nga kingitanga o te raki, e ai ta Ihowa; a ka haere mai ratou, ka whakatu i tona torona, i tona torona, ki te tomokanga i nga kuwaha o Hiruharama, ki ona taiepa katoa, a karapoi noa, ki nga pa k atoa ano o Hura.
He, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, te u ui ki he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻi he tokelau; “pea te nau haʻu, pea te nau taki taha nofo ʻi hono nofoʻanga ʻi he hūʻanga ki he ngaahi matapā ʻo Selūsalema, pea ki hono ngaahi ʻā kotoa pē ʻo takatakai, pea ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻo Siuta.
16 Ka puaki ano i ahau aku whakawakanga ki a ratou mo o ratou kino katoa; mo ratou i whakarere i ahau, i tahu whakakakara ki nga atua ke, i koropiko ki nga mahi a o ratou ringa.
Pea te u fakahā ʻeku ngaahi tautea kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau angahala kotoa pē, he kuo nau liʻaki au, pea tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pea tauhi ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa honau nima.
17 Na, ko koe, whitikiria tou hope, whakatika, korerotia ki a ratou nga mea katoa e whakahaua e ahau ki a koe; aua e wehi i a ratou, kei meinga koe e ahau kia numinumi kau ki to ratou aroaro.
“Ko ia ke ke nonoʻo hoʻo noʻotanga vala, pea tuʻu hake, pea lea ʻaki kiate kinautolu ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe: pea ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē ki honau mata, telia naʻaku fakamaaʻi koe ʻi honau ʻao.
18 No te mea hoki kua meinga koe e ahau i tenei ra hei pa taiepa, hei pou rino, hei taiepa parahi ki te whenua katoa, ki nga kingi o Hura, ki ona rangatira, ki ona tohunga, ki te iwi ano o te whenua.
He vakai, kuo u ngaohi koe he ʻaho ni ko e kolo kuo teu ki he tau, ko e pou ukamea, ko e ngaahi ʻā palasa, ki he fonua kotoa pē, ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, mo hono houʻeiki, pea ki hono kau taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua.
19 A ka whawhai ratou ki a koe, otira e kore koe e taea e ratou; no te mea kei a koe ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, hei whakaora i a koe.
Pea te nau tauʻi koe; ka ʻe ʻikai te nau mālohi kiate koe;” he ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku ou ʻiate koe, ke fakamoʻui koe.”
