Hohua 1
1 Na, i muri iho i te matenga o Mohi, o te pononga a Ihowa, ka korero a Ihowa ki a Hohua, ki te tama a Nunu, ki te tangata a Mohi, ka mea,
Pea hili ʻae pekia ʻa Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ko e tauhi ʻo Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2 Kua mate a Mohi, taku pononga; na whakatika, whiti atu i tenei Horano, a koe me tenei iwi katoa, ki te whenua ka hoatu nei e ahau ki a ratou, ara ki nga tama a Iharaira.
“Kuo pekia ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese; pea ko eni, ke ke tuʻu hake, mo ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, ʻa koe mo e kakai ni kotoa pē, ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ou foaki kiate kinautolu, ʻio, ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
3 Ko nga wahi katoa e takahia e nga kapu o o koutou waewae kua hoatu e ahau a reira ki a koutou, ka rite ki taku i korero ai ki a Mohi.
Ko e potu kotoa pē ʻe tuʻu ki ai homou ʻaofivaʻe, ko ia kuo u foaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tala kia Mōsese.
4 Ko te rohe ki a koutou kei te koraha, kei Repanona nei, a te awa nui atu ana, ara te Awa Uparati, ko te whenua katoa o nga Hiti, a tae noa ki te moana nui, ki te toenetanga o te ra.
Mei he toafa mo Lepanoni ni, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki he vaitafe lahi, ko e vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi, ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻoe kakai Heti, ʻo aʻu atu ki he tahi lahi ʻo hangē atu ki he toʻanga laʻā, ko hoʻomou potu ia.
5 E kore tetahi e kaha ki te tu ki tou aroaro i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe: i a Mohi ahau, ka pera ano ahau ki a koe; e kore ahau e whakarere i a koe, e kore hoki e mawehe i a koe.
ʻE ʻikai ha tangata te ne faʻa tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo moʻui: ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻia Mōsese, ʻe pehē pe ʻeku ʻiate koe: ʻe ʻikai te u fakatukutukuʻi koe, pe siʻaki koe.
6 Kia kaha, kia maia rawa: mau hoki tenei iwi e whakawhiwhi ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ki o ratou matua kia hoatu ki a ratou.
Ke ke mālohi mo ke lototoʻa; koeʻuhi te ke tufa ki he kakai ni ʻae fonua, ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ai ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate kinautolu ko honau tofiʻa.
7 Heoi kia kaha, kia tino maia rawa ki te pupuri, ki te mahi i nga ture katoa i whakahaua ki a koe e Mohi, e taku pononga: kei peka ke koe i reira ki matau, ki maui ranei, kia tika ai tau i nga wahi katoa e haere ai koe.
Kae kehe ke mālohi pe ʻa koe mo ke lototoʻa ʻaupito, koeʻuhi ke ke tokanga ʻo fai ʻo fakatatau ki he fono kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe fekau kiate koe ʻe heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese: ʻoua naʻa ke tafoki mei ai ki he nima toʻomataʻu pē ki he toʻohema, koeʻuhi ke ke monūʻia koe ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai.
8 Kei whakarerea e tou waha tenei pukapuka o te ture; engari kia u ou whakaaro ki reira i te ao, i te po, kia mau ai koe ki te mahi i nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhi ki reira: ma reira ka whai wahi ai koe i tou huarahi, ma reira hoki koe ka kake ai.
Ko e tohi ni ʻoe fono ke ʻoua naʻa mahuʻi ia mei ho ngutu: ka ke fakalaulauloto ki ai ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, koeʻuhi ke ke tokanga ʻo fai ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi ai: he ko ia te ke ngaohi ke monūʻia ai ho hala, pea ke toki fai fakapotopoto ai.
9 Kahore ianei ahau i whakahau ki a koe? Kia kaha, kia maia; kaua e wehi, kaua hoki e pawera: no te mea kei a koe a Ihowa, tou Atua, i nga wahi katoa e haere ai koe.
ʻIkai ko au kuo u fekauʻi koe? Ke ke mālohi koe pea ke lototoʻa; ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē, pea ʻoua naʻa ke puputuʻu: he ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻoku ʻiate koe ia ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai.”
10 Na ka whakahau a Hohua i nga rangatira o te iwi, ka mea,
Pea naʻe fekau ai ʻe Siosiua, ki he kau matāpule ʻoe kakai, ʻo pehē,
11 Haere ra waenganui o te puni, ka whakahau i te iwi, ka mea, Taka he o mo koutou; no te mea kia toru ake ra ka whiti koutou i te Horano nei, ka haere ki te tango i te whenua ka homai nei e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, kia nohoia e koutou.
“Mou ʻalu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe kautau, pea fekau ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, Teuteu hoʻomou meʻakai; koeʻuhi ʻi he teʻeki ngata ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu, te mou hoko atu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe Sioatani ni, ke mou hoko ke maʻu ʻae fonua, ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ke mou maʻu ia.”
12 I korero ano a Hohua ki nga Reupeni, ki nga Kari, ki tetahi taanga hoki o te iwi o Manahi, i mea,
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Siosiua ki he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni, mo e faʻahinga ʻo Kata, mo hono vaeua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ʻo pehē,
13 Kia mahara ki te kupu i whakahau ai a Mohi, te pononga a Ihowa ki a koutou, i mea ai, E mea ana a Ihowa, to koutou Atua, i a koutou kia okioki, ka homai hoki e ia tenei whenua ki a koutou.
“Mou manatu ki he lea ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, Kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻae mālōlōʻanga kiate kimoutolu, pea kuo ne foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fonua ni.
14 Ko a koutou wahine, ko a koutou tamariki, me a koutou kararehe, me noho ki te whenua i hoatu e Mohi ki a koutou i tenei taha o Horano, ko koutou ia, ko nga marohirohi katoa, me haere topuni atu i te aroaro o o koutou tuakana, hei whakauru mo rat ou;
ʻE nofo homou ngaahi uaifi, mo hoʻomou fānau siʻi, mo hoʻomou fanga manu, ʻi he fonua ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese kiate kimoutolu ʻi he kauvai ni ʻo Sioatani; ka ʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻakimoutolu mo e mahafutau ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou ngaahi kāinga, ʻae kau tangata mālohi mo toʻa kotoa pē, ʻo tokoni ʻakinautolu;
15 Kia meinga ra ano e Ihowa o koutou tuakana kia okioki, kia pena me koutou, a kia whiwhi ratou ki te whenua ka homai nei e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, ki a ratou; katahi koutou ka hoki ai ki te whenua i riro nei i a koutou, ka noho ai hoki ki te wah i i hoatu e Mohi, e te pononga a Ihowa, ki a koutou i tenei taha o Horano, i te putanga mai o te ra.
Kaeʻoua ke foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae mālōlōʻanga ki homou ngaahi kāinga ʻo hangē ko kimoutolu, pea ke maʻu ʻekinautolu foki ʻae fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kinautolu: pea hili ia te mou toe haʻu ki he fonua ko homou tofiʻa, ʻo maʻu ia ʻo fiemālie ʻi ai, ʻaia naʻe foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova ʻi he kauvai ni ʻo Sioatani ʻo hanga atu ki he hopoʻangalaʻā.”
16 Na ka whakahoki ratou ki a Hohua, ka mea, Ko nga mea katoa e whakahaua e koe ki a matou ka meatia e matou, a ka haere hoki matou ki nga wahi katoa e unga ai matou e koe.
Pea naʻa nau talaange kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia fulipē ʻoku ke fekau kiate kimautolu te mau fai ia, pea ko e potu kotoa pē ʻoku ke fekauʻi ʻakimautolu ki ai, te mau ʻalu.
17 Ko to matou rongo ki a Mohi i nga mea katoa, ka pera ano to matou rongo ki a koe: kia noho ra ia a Ihowa, tou Atua, ki a koe, me ia hoki i noho ki a Mohi.
Hangē ko ʻemau tokanga kia Mōsese ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻe pehē pe ʻemau tokanga kiate koe: kae kehe ke ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻia Mōsese.
18 Ahakoa ko wai te tangata e tutu ki tau whakahau, e kore hoki e rongo ki au kupu, ki nga mea katoa e whakahau ai koe ki a ia, me whakamate: ko koe ia kia kaha, kia maia.
ʻIlonga ha tokotaha ʻoku angatuʻu ki hoʻo fekau, pea ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ia ki hoʻo ngaahi lea ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke fekau kiate ia, ʻe tāmateʻi ia ka ke mālohi koe mo ke lototoʻa.”
