Hopa 15
1 Na ka whakautua e Eripata Temani; i mea ia,
Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Elifasi mei Timani, ʻo ne pehē,
2 He horihori kau koia te matauranga e whakapuakina e te tangata whakaaro, kia whakakiia e ia tona kopu ki te hau marangai?
“He ʻoku taau mo e tangata poto ke lau meʻa vaʻinga, mo fakapito hono kete ʻaki ʻae matangi hahake?
3 Me korero ranei ia ko nga kupu kore hua hei ako, ko nga whaikorero ranei kahore nei e whai tikanga?
ʻOku taau ʻene leaʻaki ʻae lea taʻeʻaonga? Pe ko e ngaahi lau ʻe ʻikai te ne lavaʻi ʻaki ha lelei?
4 Ae, kua whakakorea atu na e koe te wehi, kei te pupuri mai koe i te inoi i te aroaro o te Atua.
ʻIo, ʻoku ke liʻaki ʻae manavahē, pea ke taʻofi ʻae lotu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
5 Na kei te whakaakona tou mangai e tou kino, a kei te whiriwhiria e koe ko te arero o te hunga tinihanga.
He ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻe ho ngutu ʻa hoʻo angahala, ka ʻoku ke fili ki he ʻelelo ʻoe fakaoloolo.
6 Ehara i ahau, na tou mangai ano i hopu tou kino; ko ou ngutu ano hei whakaatu i tou he.
ʻOku talatalaakiʻi koe ʻe ho ngutu pe ʻoʻou, kae ʻikai ko au: ʻio, ko ho loungutu pe ʻoʻou ʻoku fakamoʻoni kiate koe.
7 Ko koe ianei te tangata tuatahi kua whanau? He mea hanga ranei koe no mua atu i nga pukepuke?
“He ko e ʻuluaki tangata koe naʻe fanauʻi? Pe naʻe fakatupu koe ʻi muʻa ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga?
8 Kua rongo ranei koe i to te Atua whakaaro puku? Kei te kaiponu ranei koe i te whakaaro ki a koe anake?
He kuo ke fanongo ʻe koe ki he meʻa fufū ʻae ʻOtua? Pea ʻoku ke fakangata ʻae poto kiate koe?
9 Ko te aha te mohiotia ana e koe, a kahore e mohiotia e matou? Ko tehea whakaaro ano hoki ou kahore nei i a matou?
Ko e hā ʻoku ke ʻilo, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo? Ko e hā ʻoku ke ʻilo pau, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kimautolu?
10 Kei a matou nga upoko hina ratou tahi ko nga tino koroheke, kaumatua rawa ake i tou papa.
ʻOku ʻiate kimautolu ʻae ʻuluhinā mo e kau mātuʻa, ʻoku motuʻa lahi ʻi hoʻo tamai.
11 He iti rawa ranei mou nga whakamarie a te Atua, te kupu ngawari e hoatu ana ki a koe?
He ʻoku siʻi ʻae ngaahi fakafiemālie ʻae ʻOtua kiate koe? He ʻoku ai ha meʻa fakalilolilo ʻiate koe?
12 He aha koe i kahakina atu ai e tou ngakau? He aha hoki ou kanohi i kimokimo ai,
Ko e hā ʻoku ʻāvea ai koe ʻe ho loto? Pea ʻoku lalama ho mata ʻi he hā.
13 I tahuri ai tou wairua ki te whakahe i te Atua? i puaki ai ena kupu i tou mangai?
Koeʻuhi ʻoku ke fakafoki ho loto ke tuʻu ki he ʻOtua, pea tuku ke tafe ʻae ngaahi lea ni mei ho ngutu?
14 He aha te tangata, e ma ai ia? te whanau ranei a te wahine, e tika ai?
Ko e hā ʻae tangata, ke pehē ʻoku maʻa ia? Pe ha taha ʻoku fanauʻi ʻe he fefine, ke pehē ʻoku tonuhia ia?
15 Nana, kahore ia e whakawhirinaki ki ana mea tapu; kahore hoki nga rangi e ma ki tana titiro.
Vakai, ʻoku ʻikai falala siʻi ʻe ia ki heʻene kau māʻoniʻoni; ʻio, naʻa mo e ngaahi langi ʻoku ʻikai maʻa ia ʻi hono ʻao.
16 Katahi ia te he rawa ko te mea whakarihariha, ko te mea poke, ko te tangata e inu nei i te kino ano he wai.
Ka ʻe fēfē hono lahi hake ʻoe fakalielia mo e ʻuli ʻoe tangata, ʻaia ʻoku ne inumia ʻae angahala ʻo hangē ha vai?
17 Maku e whakaatu ki a koe, whakarongo mai ki ahau; ko te mea kua kitea e ahau, maku e korero atu.
“Te u fakahā kiate koe, fanongo kiate au; pea ko ia kuo u mamata ai te u fakamatala atu;
18 He mea korero mai na nga mohio, he whakarerenga iho na o ratou matua: kihai hoki i huna e ratou:
ʻAia naʻe tala ʻe he kakai poto mei heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻo ʻikai fufū ia:
19 Ki a ratou nei anake te homaitanga o te whenua; kihai hoki te tangata ke i tika i waenganui i a ratou.
ʻAkinautolu pē naʻe foaki ki ai ʻae fonua, pea naʻe ʻikai feʻaluʻaki ha muli ʻiate kinautolu.
20 E whakamamae ana te tangata kino i ona ra katoa, ara i te maha o nga tau e haupu nei mo te kaitukino.
ʻOku langa mamahi ʻae tangata angahala ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea ʻoku fufū mei he fakaaoao ʻae lau ʻoe ngaahi taʻu.
21 He reo whakawehi kei roto i ona taringa; i te wa whai rawa ka tae mai te kaipahua ki a ia:
Ko e ongo fakailifia ʻoku ʻi hono telinga: ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻene monūʻia ʻe hoko kiate ia ʻae fakaʻauha.
22 Kahore ana whakaaetanga ake tera ia ka hoki ake i te pouri, e whanga ana ano hoki te hoari ki a ia.
ʻOku ʻikai ʻamanaki ʻe ia ke ne liu mai mei he fakapoʻuli, pea ʻoku talia ia ʻe he heletā.
23 E kopikopiko noa ana ia ki te taro mana, e mea ana: Kei hea ra? E mohio ana ia kua tata ki tona ringa te ra o te pouri.
ʻOku ʻalu fano pe ia ʻo kumi ʻae mā, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko mā ia?’ ʻOku ne ʻilo ʻoku ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻoe fakapoʻuli.
24 Ko te ngakau mamae, me te tumatatenga, hei whakawehi i a ia; ka kaha ake raua i a ia, me te mea he kingi kua rite ana mea mo te whawhai.
ʻE fakamanavahēʻi ia ʻe he mamahi mo e feinga; te na ikuna ia, ʻo hangē ha tuʻi kuo teu ki he tuʻa.
25 Kua totoro nei ona ringa ki te whawhai ki te Atua, kua whakatoatoa nei i a ia ki te whawhai ki te Kaha Rawa;
He ʻoku ne mafao atu hono nima ki he ʻOtua, ʻo ne fakamālohi ia ʻo tuʻu ki he Māfimafi.
26 Kua rere ki a ia me te kaki maro, me nga puku matotoru o ana whakangungu rakau.
ʻOku ne ʻohofi kiate ia, ʻio, ki hono kia, ki he ngaahi potu matolu ʻo hono sifa fatafata:
27 Kua kopakina hoki tona mata e tona ngako, a kua tupu te ngako o tona hope.
Koeʻuhi ʻoku ne fai ke fuʻu pupula hono mata, pea ne fangapesi ke matolu ʻae ngako ʻi hono ngaahi potu.
28 Na i noho ia ki nga pa mahue, ki nga whare kahore i nohoia e te tangata, meake nei waiho hei puranga.
Ka ʻoku ne nofo ʻi he ngaahi kolo lala, ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoku ʻikai nofo ai ha taha, ʻaia kuo tuʻutuʻuni ko e ngaahi tuʻunga veve.
29 E kore ia e whai taonga, e kore ano ona rawa e mau, e kore ano hoki to ratou hua e taupe ki te whenua.
ʻE ʻikai koloaʻia ia, ʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ʻene ngaahi meʻa, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa fai ke fakatolonga hono lelei ʻi he fonua.
30 E kore ia e puta i te pouri, ona peka ka maroke i te mura, ka riro atu ano ia i te manawa o tona mangai.
ʻE ʻikai ʻalu ia mei he fakapoʻuli; ʻe mangia ʻe he afi ʻa hono ngaahi vaʻa, pea ʻi he mānava ʻo hono fofonga ʻe mole atu ia.
31 Kei whakawhirinaki ia ki te mea teka noa, kei tinihanga ki a ia ano: no te mea ko te teka noa hei utu ki a ia.
Ke ʻoua naʻa falala ia ʻaia kuo kākaaʻi ki he vaʻinga: ko hono totongi ko e vaʻinga pe.
32 E kore tona ra e taea, kua rite; e kore ano tona peka e whai rau.
ʻE fakamoʻoni eni ʻi he teʻeki hoko hono ʻaho, pea ʻe ʻikai maʻuiʻui hono vaʻa.
33 Ka ruiruia e ia ana karepe kaiota ano ko te waina, a ka maka tana puawai me te mea ko te oriwa.
ʻE lulu ʻe ia ke tō hono fuhi kālepi taʻemomoho ʻo hangē pe ko e vaine, pea te ne fakamokulu hono fisi ʻo hangē pē ko e ʻolive.
34 Ka pakoko hoki te whakaminenga o te hunga atuakore, ka pau hoki i te ahi nga teneti o nga utu whakapati.
He koeʻuhi ʻe lala ʻae fakatahaʻanga ʻoe kau angahala, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe he afi ʻae ngaahi fale naʻe maʻu ʻaki ʻae koloa kovi.
35 He mahi nanakia te mea i hapu ki roto ki a ratou, whanau ake he teka noa; ko o ratou kopu ano hei hanga i te tinihanga.
ʻOku nau tuʻituʻia ʻi he pauʻu, pea nau fanauʻi ʻae vaʻinga, pea ʻoku teuteu ʻe honau loto ʻae kākā.
