Hona 1
1 Na i puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hona, tama a Amitai, i mea,
Ko eni, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siona, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmitai, ʻo pehē,
2 Whakatika, haere ki Ninewe, ki taua pa nui, karangatia he he mona; kua tae ake hoki to ratou kino ki toku aroaro.
“Tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu ki Ninive, ʻae kolo lahi ko ia, pea ke kalanga ki ai; he kuo aʻu hake ki hoku ʻao ʻa ʻenau angahala.”
3 Ko Hona ia i whakatika, he rere ki Tarahihi i te aroaro o Ihowa; haere ana ia ki raro, ki Hopa, a ka kitea e ia tetahi kaipuke e rere ana ki Tarahihi: ka hoatu e ia te utu mo te ekenga ki runga, kia haere atu ai ia i roto i a ratou ki Tarahihi i te aroaro o Ihowa.
Ka naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Siona ke hola ki Tasisi mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ne ʻalu hifo ai ki Sopa; pea naʻa ne ʻilo ai ʻae vaka, naʻe te u folau ki Tasisi; ko ia naʻa ne ʻatu ki ai ʻae totongi, ʻo ne ʻalu ai, ko ʻene ʻalu mo kinautolu ki Tasisi, mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
4 Na ka tukua e Ihowa he hau nui ki te moana, a he nui te awha i te moana, no ka kiia ka pakaru te kaipuke.
Ka naʻe tuku atu ʻe Sihova ʻae fuʻu matangi ki he tahi, pea naʻe havili ʻaupito ʻi he vaha, pea ko ia naʻe hangē ka maumau ʻae vaka.
5 Na ka wehi nga kaiwhakatere, ka karanga ki tona atua, ki tona atua; a akiritia ana e ratou nga taonga o runga o te kaipuke ki te moana kia mama ai ki a ratou. Ko Hona ia kua riro ki roto rawa i te kaipuke, a ka takoto ia, ka moe, au rawa.
Pea naʻe toki manavahē ʻae kau vaka, pea naʻe taki taha tangi ki hono ʻotua, pea naʻe tolo kotoa pē ʻae meʻa ʻi he vaka, koeʻuhi ke maʻamaʻa. Ka kuo ʻalu hifo ʻa Siona ki he kaokao ʻoe vaka; pea naʻa ne tokoto, ʻo mohe maʻu.
6 Na ko te haerenga atu o te rangatira o te kaipuke, ka mea ki a ia, He aha tau, e te tangata e moe na? maranga, karanga ki tou Atua, me kahore te Atua e whakaaro ki a tatou, kei ngaro tatou.
Ko ia ne haʻu ai kiate ia ʻae ʻeiki vaka ʻo ne pehēange kiate ia, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻo hoʻo pehē, ʻa koe ʻoku mohe? Tuʻu hake, ui ki ho ʻOtua ʻoʻou, heiʻilo ʻe manatuʻi ʻakitautolu ʻe he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau mate.”
7 Na ka mea ratou ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa, Haere mai, kia makamaka rota tatou, kia mohio ai ko wai te take o tenei he ki a tatou. Na kei te makamaka rota ratou, a ka tau te rota ki a Hona.
Pea naʻa nau fepehēʻaki ʻiate kinautolu, “Ko eni ke tau fai ha talotalo, koeʻuhi ke tau ʻilo pe ko hai ia kuo hoko ai ʻae kovi ni kiate kitautolu.” Pea naʻa nau talotalo, pea totonu ʻae talotalo kia Siona.
8 Katahi ratou ka mea ki a ia, Tena ra, whakaaturia ki a matou ko wai te take o tenei he ki a tatou? he mahi aha tau? i haere mai koe i hea? Ko hea tou whenua? no tehea iwi koe?
Pea naʻa nau pehē ai kiate ia, “ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, fakahā mai pe ko e hā ʻae meʻa kuo hoko ai ʻae kovi ni kiate kitautolu; Ko e hā hoʻo ngāue ʻaʻau? Pea kuo ke haʻu koe mei fē? Ko fē ʻia ho fonua? Pea ʻoku ke ʻoe kakai fē?”
9 Ano ra ko ia ki a ratou, He Hiperu ahau; e wehi ana hoki ahu i a Ihowa, i te Atua o nga rangi, nana nei i hanga te moana me te whenua maroke.
Pea naʻa ne pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e tangata Hepelū au; pea ʻoku ou manavahē kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe langi, ʻaia kuo ne ngaohi ʻae tahi, pea mo e fonua mōmoa.”
10 Na nui atu te wehi i wehi ai aua tangata, ka mea ratou ki a ia, He aha tenei i meatia nei e koe? I mohio hoki aua tangata e rere ana ia i te aroaro o Ihowa, nana hoki i whakaatu ki a ratou.
Pea naʻe toki tō ai ʻae manavahē lahi ki he kau tangata, mo nau pehē kiate ia. “Ko e hā kuo ke fai ai ʻae meʻa ni?” He naʻe ʻilo ʻe he kau tangata ʻa ʻene hola mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, he naʻa ne fakahā ia kiate kinautolu.
11 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Me aha matou ki a koe, kia marino ai te moana ki a tatou? e nui haere ana hoki te ngaru o te moana.
Ko ia naʻa nau pehē ai kiate ia, “Ko e hā te mau fai kiate koe, koeʻuhi kae laolao ʻae tahi kiate kitautolu?” He naʻe hou ʻae tahi, pea havili lahi.
12 A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Hapainga ake ahau, maka ki te moana; katahi ka marino te moana ki a koutou; e mohio ana hoki ahau he whakaaro ki ahau i puta mai ai tenei paroro ki a koutou.
Pea ne pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Mou hiki hake au, pea lī au ki tahi; ko ia ia ʻe laolao ai ʻae tahi kiate kimoutolu: he ʻoku ou ʻilo ko au pe ia kuo hoko ai ʻae fuʻu havili ni kiate kimoutolu.”
13 Heoi hoe tonu aua tangata kia u ai ratou ki uta; otiia kihai i taea: e nui haere ana hoki te ngaru o te moana hei arai i a ratou.
Ka naʻe fekeli mālohi ʻae kau tangata koeʻuhi ke nau lava ki ʻuta: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai: he naʻe hou ʻae tahi, pea havili, pea tokai kiate kinautolu.
14 Katahi aua tangata ka karanga ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Aue, e Ihowa, kaua ra matou e whakangaromia hei utu mo te matenga o tenei tangata: kaua ano e utaina he toto harakore ki runga ki a matou: kua mahia na hoki e koe, e Ihowa, tau i pai ai.
Ko ia naʻa nau tangi ai kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku mau kole kiate koe, ke ʻoua naʻa mau mate, koeʻuhi ko e moʻui ʻae tangata ni; pea ʻoua naʻa tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae toto ʻoe taʻehalaia: he ko koe, ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fai ʻe koe ʻa hoʻo faʻiteliha.”
15 Na hapainga ana a Hona e ratou, maka ana ki te moana: a mutu ake te riri o te moana.
Ko ia ne nau toʻo hake ʻa Siona, pea lī atu ia ki tahi: pea naʻe ngata ai leva ʻae hou ʻae tahi.
16 Na he nui te wehi i wehi ai aua tangata i a Ihowa; patua iho e ratou he patunga tapu ki a Ihowa, puaki ana a ratou kupu taurangi.
Pea ne toki manavahē lahi ʻaupito ʻae kau tangata kia Sihova, pea naʻa nau fai ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova, mo nau fai ʻae ngaahi fuakava.
17 Na kua rite mai i a Ihowa tetahi ika nui hei horo i a Hona. A e toru nga ra, e toru nga po o Hona i roto i te kopu o te ika.
Ka ko eni, naʻe teuteu ʻe Sihova ʻae fuʻu ika ke ne folo hifo ʻa Siona. Pea naʻe ʻaho tolu mo pō tolu ʻa Siona ʻi he kete ʻoe ika.
