Hopa 36
1 I korero ano a Erihu, i mea,
Ka naʻe fai ai pe ʻe Elihu ʻene lea, ʻo ne pehē,
2 Tukua ahau, kia iti nei, a ka whakaatu ahau ki a koe; he kupu ano hoki aku mo ta te Atua.
“Ke ke kātaki siʻi pe au, pea te u fakahā kiate koe ʻaia ʻoku toe ʻiate au ke lea ʻaki koeʻuhi ko e ʻOtua.
3 Ka tikina atu e ahau toku mohio i tawhiti, ka whakatikaia e ahau ta toku Kaihanga.
Te u ʻomi ʻa ʻeku ʻilo mei he mamaʻo, pea te u tuku ʻae māʻoniʻoni ki hoku Tupuʻanga.
4 E kore rawa hoki aku kupu e teka: tenei kei a koe te tangata kua tino nui tona matauranga.
He ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai hala ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea: ko ia ia ʻoku haohaoa ʻi he ʻilo ʻoku ʻiate koe.
5 Nana, he pakari te Atua, e kore ano ia e whakahawea: pakari tonu te kaha o tona matauranga.
“Vakai, ʻoku māfimafi ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne manukiʻi ha tokotaha: ʻoku māfimafi ia ʻi he mālohi mo e poto.
6 E kore te tangata kino e whakaorangia e ia; mana te hunga mate e whiwhi ai ki nga mea e tika ana ma ratou.
ʻOku ʻikai te ne fakatolonga ʻae moʻui ʻae angakovi: ka ʻoku ne foaki ʻae totonu ki he masiva.
7 E kore e mutu tana titiro ki te tangata tika; engari ka whakanohoia ngatahitia ratou e ia me nga kingi ki runga ki te torona ake ake, a ka whakanekehia ake hoki ratou.
ʻOku ʻikai toʻo ʻe ia hono fofonga mei he māʻoniʻoni; ka ʻoku nau ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi ʻi he nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki; ʻio, ʻoku ne fakatuʻumaʻu ʻakinautolu ke taʻengata, pea kuo hakeakiʻi ʻakinautolu.
8 Ki te mea kua herea ratou ki te mekameka, mau pu i te rahiri, ara i nga mate,
Pea kapau kuo haʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ngaahi ukamea fakamaʻu, pea fakamaʻu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi afo ʻoe mahaki;
9 Na ka whakakitea e ia ki a ratou ta ratou mahi, me o ratou he, i mea ai ratou i nga mea whakapehapeha.
ʻOku ne fakahā ai kiate kinautolu ʻenau ngaahi ngāue, mo ʻenau ngaahi talangataʻa ʻaia kuo nau angatuʻu ai.
10 Ka whakapuaretia ano e ia o ratou taringa ki te ako, a ka ki kia hoki i te kino.
ʻOku ne fakaava honau telinga foki ki he akonaki, pea fekau ke nau tafoki, pea fekau ke nau tafoki mei he angahia.
11 Ki te rongo ratou, a ka mahi ki a ia, ka pau o ratou ra i runga i te pai, o ratou tau i runga i nga ahuareka.
Kapau te nau talangofua pea tauhi ia, te nau fakaʻosi honau ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he monūʻia, mo honau ngaahi taʻu ʻi he fiemālie.
12 Otira ki te kore ratou e rongo, ka ngaro ratou i te hoari, hemo iho ratou, kahore hoki he matauranga.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau talangofua, te nau ʻauha ʻi he heletā, pea te nau mate taʻemaʻu ʻae ʻilo.
13 Ko te hunga whakaponokore o ratou ngakau, puranga rawa i a ratou te riri; kahore a ratou karanga awhina ina herea ratou e ia.
“Ka ko e kau loto mālualoi ʻoku nau fokotuʻu ʻae houhau: ʻoku ʻikai te nau tangi ʻi heʻene haʻisia ʻakinautolu.
14 Ka mate ratou i te taitamarikitanga, a ka ngaro to ratou ora i roto i te hunga poke.
ʻOku nau mate ʻi he kei talavou, pea ʻoku ʻi he kau taʻemaʻa ʻa ʻenau moʻui.
15 Ko tana he whakaora i te rawakore ina mate, e whakapuaretia ana e ia o ratou taringa ina tukinotia.
ʻOku ne fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki ʻi hono mahaki, pea ne fakaava honau telinga ʻi he taʻomia.
16 Ae ra, me koe ano, tera koe e riro i a ia i roto i te kuititanga ki te wahi whanui; a ki tonu i te ngako te mea e whakatakotoria ki runga ki tau tepu.
Pea ka ne ke pehē, kuo ne hiki foki koe mei he potu ʻapiʻapi ki he potu ʻataʻatā, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha ʻapiʻapi; pea ko ia ʻe ʻi ho keinangaʻanga ʻe pito ia ʻi he ngako.
17 Otiia ki tonu koe i te tikanga a te tangata kino; a mau pu koe i nga tikanga, i te whakarite whakawa.
“Ka kuo ke fakakakato ʻae fakamaau ʻoe kau angakovi: ko e fakamaau mo e angatonu ʻoku na puke koe.
18 Na i te mea he riri tenei, kia tupato kei riro koe i te nui o au rawa; aua hoki koe e whakapeautia e te nui o te utu.
“Koeʻuhi ʻoku ai ʻae houhau, ke ke vakai telia naʻa ne toʻo atu koe ʻi heʻene tā: pea ka pehē, ʻe ʻikai faʻa fakahaofi koe ʻe he huhuʻi lahi.
19 E ranea ranei ou rawa, e kore ai koe e taka he? nga uaua katoa ranei o tou kaha?
Pea ʻe manako ia ki hoʻo ngaahi koloa? ʻIkai ʻi he koula, pe ko e mafai kotoa pē ʻoe mālohi.
20 Kaua e hiahiatia te po, te wa e riro ai nga tangata i runga i to ratou whai.
ʻOua naʻa ke holi ki he pō, ʻaia kuo motuhi ai ʻae kakai mei honau fonua.
21 Kia tupato, kaua e tahuri ki te kino; ki tau hoki he pai ake tenei i nga mate.
Ke ke vakai, ke ʻoua naʻa ke tokanga ki he angahia: he kuo ke tomuʻa fili ia ʻi he mahaki.
22 Nana, ko te Atua, ko tona kaha hei whakanui, ko wai te kaiwhakaako hei rite mona?
Vakai, ʻoku hakeakiʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi hono mālohi: ko hai ʻoku akonaki ʻo hangē ko ia?
23 Ko wai te kaitohutohu i te ara mona? Ko wai hei mea, Kua he tau mahi?
Ko hai kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni kiate ia ʻa hono hala? Pe ko hai te ne faʻa pehē, ‘Kuo ke fai angahala?’
24 Kia mahara kia whakanuia e koe tana mahi, e waiatatia nei e te tangata.
“Ke ke manatu ke fakaongolelei ʻa ʻene ngāue, ʻaia ʻoku mamata ki ai ʻae kakai.
25 Kua tirohia nei e nga tangata katoa e matakitakina mai nei e te tangata i tawhiti.
ʻE faʻa mamata ki ai ʻae tangata kotoa pē, ʻe faʻa vakai ki ai ʻae tangata ʻi he kei mamaʻo.
26 Nana, he nui te Atua, e kore ano e mohiotia e tatou; e kore ano hoki te maha o ona tau e taea te rapu atu.
Vakai, ʻoku lahi ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai te tau faʻa ʻiloʻi ia, pea ko e lau ʻo hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻoku taʻefaʻahakule.
27 Ko ia nei hei ngongo ake i nga pata wai, ka tauia i tona kohu hei awha:
He ʻoku ne toʻo hake ʻae ngaahi mosiʻi vai: ʻoku nau huaʻi hifo ʻae ʻuha ʻo fakatatau ki he mao ʻo ia:
28 Ka ringihia iho nei e nga kapua, a ka maturuturu nui ki runga ki te tangata.
ʻAia ʻoku tō hifo ʻe he ngaahi ʻao, pea ʻuha lahi ki he tangata.
29 Ae ra, e mohiotia ana ranei e tetahi nga horahanga o nga kapua, te ngangau o tona tapenakara?
Pea ʻe faʻa ʻilo koā ʻe ha taha hono folahi atu ʻoe ngaahi ʻao, pe ki he longoaʻa ʻo hono nofoʻanga?
30 Nana, e horahia ana e ia tona marama a tawhio noa i a ia; e hipokina ana hoki e ia te takere o te moana.
Vakai, ʻoku ne folahi atu ʻa ʻene maama ki ai, pea ʻoku ne ʻufiʻufi ʻae kilisitahi.
31 Ko ana mea hoki ena hei whakawa mo nga iwi, nui tonu te kai e homai ana e ia.
He ʻoku ne fakamaau ʻae kakai ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni; ʻoku ne foaki ʻae meʻakai lahi ʻaupito.
32 E hipokina ana e ia ona ringa ki te uira, a whakahaua iho e ia te wahi e pa atu ai.
ʻOku ne ʻufiʻufi ʻae maama ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻao; pea ne fekauʻi ia ʻi heʻene hoko ʻi he vahaʻa ke ʻoua naʻa ulo.
33 Hei kaiwhakaatu i a ia tona haruru, e waitohu ana hoki ki nga kararehe i te tupuhi meake puta mai.
Ko hono longoaʻa ʻoku ne fakahā ia, ko e houhau lahi ki he angahala.
