Hohua 20
1 Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Hohua, ka mea,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova foki kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē,
2 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Whakaritea e koutou etahi pa whakaora, ko aku i korero ai, na Mohi i whakapuaki ki a koutou:
Ke ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Fili moʻomoutolu ʻae ngaahi kolo ke hūfanga ki ai, ʻaia naʻaku lea ai kiate kimoutolu ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese:
3 Hei rerenga atu mo te tangata whakamate, i patu nei i tetahi tangata, he mea urupa, ehara i te mea ata whakaaro: a ka waiho hei whakaora mo koutou, kei mate i te kaitakitaki toto.
Koeʻuhi ke hola ki ai ʻae fakapō ʻaia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi lavenoaʻia ha tokotaha ʻo taʻeloto ki ai: pea ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko homou hūfanga mei he totongi toto.
4 A ka rere ia ki tetahi o enei pa, ka tu i te kuwaha o te tomokanga o te pa, na ka korero i ana korero ki nga taringa o nga kaumatua o tena pa; a me tango atu ia e ratou ki roto ki te pa, ki roto ki a ratou, ka homai he wahi ki a ia, a ka noho ia ki a ratou.
Pea ka tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻo ha kolo ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi kolo ni, ʻaia ʻoku ne hola ki ai, ʻo ne fakamatala ʻene meʻa ʻi he telinga ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo ko ia, tenau ʻave ia ki he kolo kiate kinautolu, ʻonau tuku kiate ia ha potu, ke ne nofo ai mo kinautolu.
5 A, ki te whaia atu ia e te kaitakitaki toto, kaua e tukua atu te tangata whakamate e ratou ki tona ringa; no te mea ehara i te mea ata whakaaro tana patunga i tona hoa, kihai ano ia i kino ki a ia i mua ake.
Pea kapau ʻoku tuli ia ʻe he totongi toto, ʻe ʻikai ai tenau tukuange ʻae fakapō ki hono nima; koeʻuhi naʻa ne tā lavenoaʻia hono kaungāʻapi, ka naʻe ʻikai tomuʻa fehiʻa kiate ia.
6 Engari me noho ia ki taua pa, kia tu ra ano ia ki mua i te whakaminenga whakawakia ai, a kia mate ra ano te tino tohunga o aua ra: ko reira hoki ai te tangata whakamate, haere ai ki tona pa, ki tona whare hoki, ki te pa i rere atu nei ia i reira
Pea ʻe nofo ia ʻi he kolo ko ia, ke ʻoua ke tuʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha ʻi he fakamaau, pea ke ʻoua ke pekia ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi ʻaia ʻe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia: pea ʻe toki liu mai ʻae tāmate faainoa, ʻo haʻu ki heʻene kolo, pea haʻu ki hono fale, ki he kolo naʻe hola ia mei ai.”
7 Na ka whakatapua e ratou ko Kerehe i Kariri, i te whenua pukepuke o Napatari, ko Hekeme i te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, ko Kiriata Arapa, ara ko Heperona, i te whenua pukepuke o Hura.
Pea naʻa nau fili ʻa Ketesi ʻi Kaleli ʻi he moʻunga ʻo Nafitalai, mo Sikemi ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, mo Kesa-ʻAlipa, ʻaia ko Hepeloni, ʻi he moʻunga ʻo Siuta.
8 Na i tawahi o Horano, i te wahi e anga ana ki Heriko whaka te rawhiti ka whakaritea e ratou ko Petere i te koraha i te mania, no te iwi o Reupena, ko Ramoto i Kireara, no te iwi o Kara, ko Korana hoki i Pahana, no te iwi o Manahi.
Pea ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani ofi ki Seliko ʻi he potu hahake, naʻa nau fili ʻa Peseli ʻi he toafa ki he potu ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni, mo Lemoti ʻi Kiliati mei he faʻahinga ʻo Kata, mo Kolani Pesani mei he faʻahinga ʻo Manase.
9 Ko nga pa enei i whakaritea mo nga tama katoa a Iharaira, mo te manene hoki e noho ana i roto i a ratou, hei rerenga atu mo nga tangata katoa i whakamatea ai tetahi tangata, he mea urupa, kei mate i te ringa o te kaitakitaki toto, kia tu ra ano i mua i te whakaminenga.
Ko eni ʻae ngaahi kolo naʻe fili ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ki he muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku ne tāmate lavenoaʻia ha tokotaha, ke hola ia ki ai, ke ʻoua naʻa mate ia ʻi he nima ʻoe totongi toto, kaeʻoua ke tuʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha.
