< Hopa 30 >
1 Inaianei ia e kataina mai ana ahau e te hunga tamariki rawa i ahau, e te hunga kihai nei ahau i whakaae kia uru o ratou matua ki roto ki nga kuri o taku kahui.
“Ka ko eni, ʻoku manukiʻi au ʻekinautolu ʻoku mui ʻiate au, ka ko ʻenau ngaahi tamai ʻanautolu ne u fehiʻa ke lau fakataha mo e fanga kulī ʻo ʻeku ngaahi fanga manu.
2 Ae ra, hei aha maku te kaha o o ratou ringa? He hanga pirau nei hoki to ratou koroheketanga.
ʻIo, ʻe ʻaonga fēfē kiate au ʻae mālohi ʻa honau nima, ka kuo ʻauha ʻenau motuʻa lelei?
3 Tupuhi ana ratou i te rawakore, i te hemokai; e ngau ana ratou i te oneone pakapaka, i roto i te pouritanga o te tuhea, o te ururua.
Ko e meʻa ʻi he masiva mo e honge naʻa nau ʻi he fakapoʻuli ʻo hangē ko e pō; ʻo feholaki ki he toafa kuo masiva mo siʻaki.
4 E whawhaki ana ratou i nga marou i roto o nga rakau ririki; a ko nga pakiaka hunipa hei kai ma ratou.
Naʻa nau tuʻusi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau kona, pea keli aka ke nau kai.
5 He mea pei atu ratou i roto i nga tangata; e karangarangatia ana ratou ano he tahae.
Naʻe kapusi ʻakinautolu mei he kakai, (pea naʻa nau kalanga ki ai ʻo hangē ki ha kaihaʻa; )
6 Me noho rawa atu ratou i nga kapiti o nga awaawa, i nga waro o te whenua, i nga kamaka.
Ke nau nofo ʻi he ngaahi lilifa ʻoe luo, ʻi he ngaahi ʻana ʻoe fonua, mo e ngaahi maka.
7 Tangi a kaihe ana ratou i roto i nga rakau ririki; huihuia ana ratou ki raro i nga ongaonga.
Naʻa nau tangi mei he ngaahi ʻakau, pea nau fakataha ʻi lalo ʻi he ngaahi ʻakau talatala.
8 He tamariki ratou na nga kuware, ae ra, he tamariki na te hunga ingoakore; he hunga i patua atu i runga i te whenua.
Ko e fānau ʻae kau vale, ko e hako ʻoe kakai meʻa vale; naʻe kapusi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua.
9 Inaianei ia kua waiho ahau hei waiata ma ratou, ae, hei whakatauki ma ratou.
“Ka ko eni, kuo u hoko au ko ʻenau hivehivaʻanga, ʻio, ko ʻenau lea manukiʻanga au.
10 E whakarihariha mai ana ratou ki ahau, e neke rawa atu ana i ahau, a kahore e kaiponuhia e ratou te huware ki toku mata.
ʻOku nau fakaliliʻa kiate au, pea nau hola mamaʻo ʻiate au, pea ʻikai te nau manavahē ke ʻaʻanu ki hoku mata.
11 Kua oti hoki tana aho te wewete e ia, a e whakatupuria kinotia ana ahau e ia, a kua tukua e ratou te paraire i toku aroaro.
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene vete ʻeku afo, ʻo tautea au, ko ia kuo nau tukuange ai foki ʻae noʻo ʻi hoku ʻao.
12 I te taha ki matau ka ara te marea; taia ana e ratou oku waewae, a akina ana nga ara o a ratou whakangaromanga ki ahau.
ʻOku tutuʻu ʻae kau talavou ʻi hoku toʻomataʻu; ʻoku nau tekeʻi hoku vaʻe, pea ʻoku nau fokotuʻu hake ʻo angatuʻu kiate au ʻae ngaahi hala ʻo honau fakaʻauha.
13 E taka kino ana ratou i toku ara, e whakatupu ana i te he moku, a kahore he hoa mahi mo ratou.
ʻOku nau maumauʻi hoku hala, ʻoku nau fiefia ʻi heʻeku mamahi, ʻoku ʻikai hanau tokoni.
14 Rite tonu ki te wai nui e pakaru mai ana to ratou haerenga mai: i taua whakangaromanga nei, huri mai ana ratou ki runga ki ahau:
Naʻa nau feʻohofi mai ʻo hangē ʻi ha potu fālahi: pea ʻi he maumau naʻa nau filifilihi ʻakinautolu kiate au.
15 Kua tahuri mai nga whakawehi ki ahau, e aru ana ratou i toku whakaaro rangatira ano he hau; ko te whakahauora moku, pahemo ke ana ano he kapua.
Kuo tō kiate au ʻae ngaahi ilifia: ʻoku nau tuli hoku laumālie ʻo hangē ko e matangi: pea ʻoku mole atu ʻeku lelei ʻo hangē ko e ʻao.
16 Na inaianei kua maringi toku wairua i roto i ahau: mau pu ahau i nga ra o te tangi.
“Pea ko eni, kuo lilingi hoku laumālie ʻiate au; kuo puke au ʻe he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe mamahi.
17 I te po e werohia ana oku wheua i roto i ahau; kahore hoki he okiokinga o nga mamae e ngau nei i ahau.
ʻOku mahuhuhuhu ʻa hoku ngaahi hui ʻi he poʻuli: pea ʻoku ʻikai ke mālōlō siʻi hoku ngaahi uoua.
18 He kaha nui no toku mate i ahua ke ai toku kakahu; e awhi nei i ahau, e penei ana me te whiri o toku koti.
Kuo fetongi hoku kofu ʻe he mālohi lahi: ʻoku ne nonoʻo takatakai au ʻo hangē ko e kia ʻo hoku kofutuʻa.
19 Kua maka ahau e ia ki te paru, kua rite ahau ki te puehu, ki te pungarehu.
Kuo ne lī au ki he pelepela, pea kuo u tatau mo e efu mo e efuefu.
20 E tangi ana ahau ki a koe, heoi kahore koe e whakao mai ki ahau; e tu ana, heoi ka titiro kau mai koe ki ahau.
ʻOku ou tangi kiate koe, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke ongoʻi au: ʻoku ou tuʻu hake, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke tokangaʻi au.
21 Kua huri ke, kua kino tau mahi ki ahau: ko te kaha o tou ringa kei te tukino i ahau.
Kuo ke liliu ʻo taʻeʻofa kiate au: ʻoku ke tuʻu kiate au ʻaki ho nima mālohi.
22 Kua hapainga ake ahau e koe ki te hau, a meinga ana tera e koe hei hoiho moku; a whakamotitia iho ahau e koe i roto i te tupuhi.
ʻOku ke ʻohake au ki he matangi mo ke fakaheka au ki ai, pea ʻoku ke veteki ʻeku meʻa.
23 E mohio ana hoki ahau tera ahau e kawea e koe ki te mate, ki te whare hoki i whakaritea mo te hunga ora katoa.
He ʻoku ou ʻilo pau te ke ʻomi au ki he mate, pea ki he fale kuo tuʻutuʻuni ki he kakai moʻui kotoa pē.
24 E kore ano ia tona ringa e totoro iho ki te urupa; ahakoa hei mate mona ka mea ia ki te karanga, he whakaaro ki enei mea.
“Ka ʻe ʻikai te ne mafao atu hono nima ki he faʻitoka, neongo ʻoku nau tangi ʻi heʻene fakaʻauha.
25 Kihai ianei ahau i tangi ki te tangata he mate nei tona? kihai ranei toku wairua i pouri ki te rawakore?
ʻIkai naʻaku tēngihia ia ʻaia naʻe mamahi? ʻIkai naʻe mamahi hoku laumālie koeʻuhi ko e masiva?
26 I ahau i tatari ai ki te pai, heoi kua tae mai te kino; tumanako atu ana ahau ki te marama, heoi kua tae mai te pouri.
ʻI heʻeku ʻamanaki ki he lelei, naʻe hoko mai ʻae kovi: pea ʻi heʻeku tatali ki he maama, ne hoko mai ʻae fakapoʻuli.
27 Ko oku whekau, me te mea e koropupu ana, te ata takoto; haukotia mai ana ahau e nga ra o te tangi.
Naʻe lili hoku fatu, ʻo ʻikai toka: naʻe taʻofi au ʻe he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe mamahi.
28 E haereere pouri ana ahau, kahore he ra; ko taku whakatikanga ake i roto i te whakaminenga, ka karanga awhina.
Naʻaku ʻalu mamahi pe ʻi he taʻeulo ʻae laʻā; ne u tuʻu hake ʻo tangi ʻi he fakataha.
29 Hei teina ahau ki nga tarakona, hei hoa mo nga ruru.
Ko e tokoua au ʻoe fanga talākoni, mo e kaumeʻa ʻoe fanga lulu.
30 Ko toku kiri mangu tonu, e ngahoro ana i ahau, kaia ana oku wheua i te wera.
Kuo ʻuliʻuli hoku kili ʻiate au, pea kuo velehia hoku ngaahi hui ʻi he ʻafu.
31 No reira i tahuri ke ai taku hapa ki te tangi, me taku okana ki te reo o te hunga e uhunga ana.
Kuo liliu ʻeku haʻape ko e tangi, pea ko ʻeku meʻa ifi ko e leʻo ʻokinautolu ʻoku tangi.
