< Hopa 21 >
1 Ano ra ko Hopa; i mea ia,
Ka naʻe tali ʻe Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
2 Ata whakarongo mai ki taku kupu, a hei tenei he kupu whakamarie mai ma koutou.
“Fakafanongo lelei ki heʻeku lea, pea ko hoʻomou fakafiemālie eni.
3 Tukua ahau, a ka korero hoki ahau; a ka mutu aku korero, haere tonu ta koutou tawai.
Mou kātaki, kau lea atu; pea hili ʻeku lea, fai pe hoʻomou manuki.
4 Ahau nei, ki te tangata koia taku amuamu? A he aha ahau te manawanui ai?
ʻOiauē, he ʻoku ou liunga ki he tangata? Pea ka ne ko ia, ko e hā nai ʻe ʻikai mamahi ai hoku laumālie?
5 Titiro mai ki ahau, miharo ai; kopania atu te ringa ki te mangai.
Tokanga mai, pea mou ofo, pea ʻai homou nima ki homou ngutu.
6 Mahara kau ahau, ka wehi, mau pu te wehi o oku kikokiko.
ʻIo, ʻi heʻeku fakamanatu ʻoku ou manavahē ʻaupito, pea ʻoku puke ʻa hoku kakano ʻe he tetetete.
7 He aha te hunga kino i ora ai, i koroheke ai, ae, i marohirohi ai to ratou kaha?
“Ko e hā ʻoku moʻui ai ʻae angakovi, ʻo hoko ʻo motuʻa, ʻio, pea lahi ʻi he mālohi?
8 Pumau tonu o ratou uri ki to ratou taha ki to ratou aroaro, a ko a ratou whanau kei ta ratou tirohanga atu.
Kuo fakatuʻumaʻu honau hako fakataha mo kinautolu, pea mo ʻenau fānau ʻi honau ʻao.
9 O ratou whare kei runga i te rangimarie, kahore he wehi, kahore hoki a te Atua patu ki a ratou.
ʻOku malu honau fale mei he manavahē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ʻae meʻa tā ʻae ʻOtua.
10 E kaha ana tana puru ki te ekeeke, kahore hoki e he; ka whanau tana kau, kahore hoki he whakatahe.
ʻOku fakatauʻi ʻe heʻenau pulu tangata ʻo touʻia taʻehala; ʻoku fānau ʻenau pulu fefine ʻo taʻetōhonoʻuhiki.
11 E tukua mai ana e ratou a ratou kohungahunga ano he kahui hipi, e pekepeke ana a ratou tamariki.
ʻOku nau tuku atu ʻenau fānau ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi, pea ʻoku meʻe hopohopo ʻenau fānau.
12 He hunga hapai ratou i te timipera, i te hapa, e koa ana ki te tangi o te okana.
ʻOku nau toʻo hake ʻae kihiʻi lali mo e haʻape, pea nau fiefia ʻi he leʻo ʻoe meʻa ifi.
13 O ratou ra pau tonu i runga i te ahuareka, kitea rawatia ake kua heke ki te po. (Sheol )
ʻOku nau fakaʻosi honau ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he fakafiemālie, pea fakafokifā pe ʻoku nau ʻalu hifo ki he faʻitoka. (Sheol )
14 Koia ratou i mea ai ki te Atua, Mawehe atu i a matou; kahore hoki o matou hiahia kia matau ki ou ara.
Ko ia ʻoku nau pehē ai ki he ʻOtua, ‘ʻAlu ʻiate kimautolu, he ʻoku ʻikai te mau holi ke ʻilo ho ngaahi hala.
15 He aha ra te Runga Rawa e mahi ai matou ki a ia? He aha hoki te rawa ki a matou ki te inoi ki a ia?
Ko hai ʻae Māfimafi, ke pehē ke mau tauhi ia? Pea ko e hā ʻae totongi te mau maʻu, ʻo kapau te mau lotu ki ai?’
16 Nana, kahore he pai mo ratou i o ratou ringa ake: matara atu i ahau te whakaaro o te hunga kino.
Vakai, ʻoku ʻikai ʻi honau nima ʻenau monūʻia: ʻoku mamaʻo ʻiate au ʻae fakakaukau ʻoe angahala.
17 Pehea te maha o nga matenga o te rama a te hunga kino? O nga panga mai ano hoki o to ratou aitua ki a ratou? O te tuwhanga mai a te Atua i nga mamae i a ia e riri ana?
“ʻOku liunga fiha ʻae tāmateʻi ʻoe maama ʻae angahala? Mo e hoko ʻenau fakaʻauha kiate kinautolu? ʻoku tufaki ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi mamahi ʻi hono houhau.
18 E rite ai ratou ki te kakau witi i mua i te hau, ki te papapa e kahakina atu ana e te paroro?
ʻOku nau tatau mo e tefitoʻi kaho ʻi he mata ʻoe matangi, pea hangē ko e kafukafu ʻoku ʻave ʻe he afi.
19 E mea ana koutou, E rongoatia ana e te Atua tona kino hei mea mo ana tamariki. Mana e utu tera ki a ia tonu, kia mohio ai ia.
‘ʻOku hili ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻene angahala ki heʻene fānau:’ ʻoku ne totongi kiate ia, pea te ne ʻilo ia.
20 Tukua kia kite ona ake kanohi i tona hunanga, a tukua ia kia inu i te riri o te Kaha Rawa.
ʻE mamata ʻe hono mata ki hono fakaʻauha, pea ʻe inu ia ʻi he houhau ʻoe Māfimafi.
21 He aha hoki tana manako ki tona whare i muri i a ia? ka poroa hoki ona marama i waenga?
He ko e hā ʻene fiemālie ʻi hono fale ʻamui ʻiate ia, ʻoka tuʻu ua mālie ʻae lau ʻo hono ngaahi māhina?
22 E whakaako ianei tetahi i te Atua ki te matauranga? Ko te kaiwhakawa hoki ia mo te hunga whakakake.
“ʻE akonakiʻi ʻe ha taha ʻae ʻOtua ke ʻilo? He ʻoku ne fakamaau ʻe ia ʻakinautolu ʻoku māʻolunga.
23 Tenei tangata, mate iho ia, pakari rawa ano hoki ona kaha, ata takoto ana ana mea katoa, kahore hoki he raruraru.
ʻOku mate ha tokotaha lolotonga ʻene mālohi lahi, mo ʻene nofo tofu pe mo fiemālie.
24 Ki tonu ona u i te waiu, a e makuku ana ona wheua i te hinu.
ʻOku fonu hono sino ʻi he ngako, pea lolololo hono ngaahi hui ʻi he uho.
25 Mate iho hoki tera tangata, kawa tonu tona wairua, kahore hoki he pai hei kai mana.
Pea ʻoku mate ha tokotaha ʻi he mamahi lahi ʻo hono laumālie, pea ʻikai ʻaupito haʻane kai ʻe fiemālie ai.
26 Ka takoto ngatahi raua ki te puehu, a ko te iro hei hipoki mo raua.
Te na tokoto tatau pe ʻi he efu, pea ʻe ʻuʻufi ʻakinaua ʻe he fanga kelemutu.
27 Nana, e mohio ana ahau ki o koutou whakaaro, ki ta koutou ngarahu nanakia ano hoki moku.
“Vakai, ʻoku ou ʻilo hoʻomou ngaahi mahalo, mo e ngaahi filioʻi kovi ʻoku mou mahalo ʻaki kiate au.
28 E ki ana hoki koutou, Kei hea te whare o te rangatira? Kei hea hoki te teneti i noho ai te hunga kino?
He ʻoku mou pehē, ‘Kofaʻā ʻae fale ʻoe ʻeiki? Pea kofaʻā ʻae ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻoe kakai angahala?’
29 Kahore ianei koutou i ui ki te hunga e haere atu ana i te ara? Kahore ranei koutou i mohio ki a ratou tohu?
ʻIkai kuo mou ʻeke kiate kinautolu ʻoku feʻaluʻaki ʻi he hala? Pea ʻikai ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻenau ngaahi tala,
30 Kei te rongoa nei hoki te tangata kono mo te ra o te whakangaro; ka whakaputaina ratou i te ra o te riri.
ʻAia kuo tuku tolonga ʻae angahala ki he ʻaho ʻoe fakaʻauha? ʻE taki atu ʻakinautolu ki he ʻaho ʻoe houhau.
31 Ko wai e whakaatu i tona ara ki tona aroaro? Ko wai hoki hei hoatu i te utu mo tana mahi ki a ia?
Ko hai te ne fakahā hono hala ki hono mata? Pea ʻe totongi ʻe hai kiate ia ʻae meʻa kuo ne fai?
32 Heoi ka kawea ia ki te urupa; kei te puranga he wahi mona.
Ka ʻe ʻomi ia ki he faʻitoka, ʻe nofomaʻu ia ʻi he fonualoto.
33 Ka reka ki a ia nga pokuru o te awaawa, ka whai mai ano hoki nga tangata katoa i a ia; e kore nei hoki e taea te tatau te hunga i mua i a ia.
ʻE melie kiate ia ʻae ngaahi tutuʻanga kelekele ʻoe luo, pea ʻe fusi kiate ia ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e taʻefaʻalaua ʻae kakai naʻe muʻa ʻiate ia.
34 He pehea ra ta koutou whakamarie tinihanga i ahau, e toe na hoki te he i roto i a koutou kupu e whakahoki mai na?
Pea ka kuo pehē, pea ko e hā ʻoku mou fakafiemālie taʻeʻaonga kiate au, kae vakai ʻoku ai ʻae loi ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi lea?”
