Hopa 9
1 Na ka whakahoki a Hopa, ka mea,
Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
2 E mohiotia ana ano tenei e ahau; engari ma te aha ka tika ai te tangata ki te Atua?
ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku pehē moʻoni ia ka ʻe tonuhia fēfē ʻae tangata ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua?
3 Ki te pai ia ki te totohe ki a ia, kahore he kupu kotahi o roto i te mano e taea e ia te whakahoki ki a ia.
Kapau te na alea, mo ia, ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa talia ʻe ia ha taha ʻi he meʻa ʻe afe.
4 He ngakau mohio ia, he pakari tona kaha: ko wai e whakauaua ki a ia, a e whiwhi i te pai?
ʻOku poto ia ʻi loto, pea lahi ʻi he mālohi: ko hai kuo ne fakaangatuʻu ia kiate ia, pea monūʻia?
5 E nekehia ana e ia nga maunga, te mohio ratou; hurihia ake e ia i a ia e riri ana.
Ko ia ia ʻoku ne hiki ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, kae ʻikai ke nau ʻilo: ʻoku ne fulihi ia ʻi hono houhau.
6 E whakangaueuetia ana e ia te whenua, e nekehia atu ana i tona wahi, wiri ana ona pou.
ʻOku ne luluʻi ʻae fonua mei hono potu, pea ʻoku ngalulululu hono ngaahi pou.
7 E korero nei ki te ra, a kore ake e whiti; hiritia putia iho e ia nga whetu.
ʻOku ne fekauʻi ʻae laʻā, pea ʻikai ʻalu hake ia; pea ne tāpuni hake ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu.
8 Ko ia nei anake hei hora i nga rangi, hei takahi i runga i nga ngaru o te moana.
ʻOku ne folahi atu tokotaha pē ʻae ngaahi langi, pea ʻoku ne hāʻele ʻi he ngaahi peau ʻoe tahi.
9 Nana nei i hanga a Aketura, a Tautoru, a Matariki, me nga ruma i te tonga.
ʻOku ne ngaohi ʻa ʻAakitulio, mo Olioni, mo Peliatisi, pea mo e ngaahi potu ki he feituʻu tonga.
10 Nana nei i mahi nga mea nunui, e kore nei e taea te rapu atu, ae ra nga mea whakamiharo, e kore nei e taea te tatau.
ʻOku ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻo taʻefaʻaʻilo; ʻio, ko e ngaahi meʻa mana ʻoku taʻefaʻalaua.
11 Ina tonu ia e haere atu nei, a kahore ahau i kite; ka pahemo atu hoki ia, a kahore ahau e matau ki a ia.
Vakai, ʻoku hāʻele ia ʻi hoku tafaʻaki, ka ʻoku ʻikai te u mamata ki ai: ʻoku ne hāʻele atu foki ka ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi ia.
12 Nana, ka hopu ia i tana i aru ai, ma wai ia e arai? Ko wai hei ki atu ki a ia, E aha ana koe?
Vakai, ʻoku ne toʻo atu, ko hai ʻe faʻa taʻofi ia? Ko hai ʻe pehē kiate ia, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku ke fai?’
13 E kore te Atua e whakahoki iho i tona riri; e piko ana ki raro i a ia nga kaiawhina o Rahapa.
“Kapau ʻe ʻikai taʻofi ʻe he ʻOtua ki hono houhau, ʻe mapelu ki lalo ʻiate ia ʻae kau tokoni fielahi.
14 A kia whakahoki kupu ano ahau ki a ia, kia whiriwhiri kupu ano maku ki a ia?
Kae fēfē ai ʻeku talia ia ʻeau, pea u fili ʻeku ngaahi lea ke alea mo ia?
15 Ahakoa he tika ahau, e kore ahau e whakahoki kupu atu; engari ka inoi ahau ki toku kaiwhakawa.
ʻAia ʻe ʻikai te u talia, ʻoka ne u māʻoniʻoni, ka te u hū tāumaʻu ki hoku Fakamaau.
16 Me i karanga atu ahau, a whakahokia mai ai e ia te kupu ki ahau, kihai ahau i whakaae tera kua whakarongo mai ia ki toku reo.
Ka ne u ui, pea talia ia; kae ʻikai te u tui kuo ne ongoʻi hoku leʻo.
17 E aki ana hoki ia ia ahau ki te tupuhi, e whakanui takekore ana hoki i oku mate.
He ʻoku ne haʻaki au ʻaki ʻae afā, pea ne fakalahi ʻeku lavea taʻehanoʻuhinga.
18 Kahore ahau e tukua e ia kia ta toku manawa; otiia whakakiia ana e ia toku wairua ki te kawa.
ʻOku ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ke u mānava, ka ʻoku ne fakapito au ʻaki ʻae mamahi.
19 Ki te korero tatou mo te kaha o te hunga pakari, nana, kei reira ia! A ki te mea he whakawa, ko wai ra hei whakatakoto i te taima moku?
Kapau te u lea ki he mālohi, vakai, ʻoku māfimafi ia: pe ki he fakamaau, ‘ko hai te ne fakamoʻoni kiate au?’
20 Ahakoa he tika ahau, ma toku mangai ano ahau e whakahe; ahakoa he tikanga tapatahi taku, ma reira ano e whakaatu toku ngaunga ketanga.
Kapau te u fakatonuhiaʻi au, pea tā ʻe fakahalaʻi au ʻe hoku ngutu ʻoʻoku; pē te u pehē ʻoku ou haohaoa, ʻe fakamoʻoni ia ki heʻeku halaia.
21 He tapatahi ahau; kahore ahau e whakaaro ki ahau ano; e whakahawea ana ahau ki toku ora.
Neongo ʻa ʻeku haohaoa, ka ʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ki hoku loto: te u fehiʻa ʻeau pē ki heʻeku moʻui.
22 He kotahi tonu ena; koia ahau ka mea, e whakamotitia ana e ia te tapatahi raua ko te kino.
“Ko e meʻa ni pē taha, ʻoku ou fakamoʻoni ki ai, ʻOku ne fakaʻauha ʻae haohaoa mo e angahala.
23 Na ka whakamate tata nei te whiu, he kata tana ki te whakamatautauranga o te hunga harakore.
Kapau ʻe fakafokifā pē ʻae taaʻi ʻe he fakamamahi, ʻe kata ʻe ia ʻi he ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻoe taʻeangahala.
24 Kua hoatu te whenua ki te ringa o te tangata kino; e taupokina ana e ia nga mata o nga kaiwhakawa; ki te mea ehara i a ia, tena ko wai?
Kuo tuku ʻae fonua ki he nima ʻoe angahala: ʻoku ne ʻufiʻufi ʻae mata ʻo hono kau fakamāu; ka ʻikai, pea kofaa, pe ko hai ia?
25 Na, ko te hohoro o oku ra, nui atu i to te kaikawe pukapuka; e rere ana, kahore hoki e kite i te pai.
“ʻOku vave eni ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he tangata fekau: ʻoku puna atu ia, ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ia ha lelei.
26 Kua pahemo, kua pera me nga kaipuke tere, me te ekara ano e topa iho ana ki tana kai.
Kuo mole ia ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi vaka ngaholo: ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale ʻoku fakavave ki he kai.
27 Ki te mea ahau, ka wareware ahau ki taku tangi, ka unuhia atu e ahau te pouri o toku mata, a ka marama:
Kapau te u pehē, ‘Te u fakangaloʻi ʻa ʻeku mamahi, te u siʻaki ʻeku māfasia, ʻo fakafiemālieʻi au:’
28 E wehi ana ahau i oku mamae katoa, e mohio ana ahau e kore ahau e meinga e koe he harakore.
Tā te u ilifia ʻi heʻeku ngaahi mamahi fulipē, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻe ʻikai te ke fakatonuhiaʻi au.
29 Tera hoki ahau e whakahengia; he aha ahau i whakangenge kau ai i ahau?
Kapau ʻoku ou angakovi, pea tā ʻoku kei taʻeʻaonga pe ʻeku ngāue?
30 Ki te horoi ahau i ahau ki te hukarere, a ka meinga oku ringa kia ma rawa;
He kapau te u kaukau au ʻi he vai ʻuha hinehina, ʻo ngaohi ke maʻa ʻaupito hoku nima;
31 Katahi ahau ka rumakina e koe ki te poka, a whakarihariha mai ana oku kakahu ki ahau.
Ka te ke lī au ki he pelepela, pea ʻe fakaliliʻa kiate au ʻa hoku ngaahi kofu ʻoʻoku.
32 Ehara hoki ia i te tangata, i te penei me ahau nei, e whakahoki kupu ai ahau ki a ia, e haere tahi ai maua ki te whakawa.
He ʻoku ʻikai ko e tangata ia, ʻo hangē ko au, koeʻuhi ke u talia ia, pea kema fakataha ʻi he fakamaau.
33 Kahore he kaiwhakatikatika mo ta maua, kahore he tangata hei whakapa i tona ringa ki a maua tahi.
Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata fakalelei ʻi homa vahaʻa, ke ne hili hono nima kiate kimaua fakatouʻosi.
34 Me tango atu e ia tana patu i ahau, a kaua hoki tana whakamataku e whakawehi i ahau:
Ke toʻo ʻe ia ʻene meʻa tā ʻiate au, pea ʻoua naʻa fakailifiaʻi au ʻe heʻene manavahē:
35 Hei reira ahau ka korero, a kahore e wehi i a ia; kahore hoki ahau e pera i roto i ahau.
Te u toki lea ai, ʻo taʻemanavahē kiate ia; ka ʻoku ʻikai te u pehē eni.
