< Hohua 9 >

1 Na, i te rongonga o nga kingi katoa o tenei taha o Horano, o te whenua pukepuke, o te mania, o te tahatika katoa hoki o te moana nui i te ritenga atu o Repanona, te Hiti, te Amori, te Kanaani, te Perihi, te hiwi, te Iepuhi;
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻaia naʻe ʻi he potu mai ni ʻo Sioatani, ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, mo e ngaahi teleʻa, pea ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻoe tahi lahi ʻoku hangatonu atu ki Lepanoni, ko e kau Heti, mo e kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Kēnani, mo e kau Pelesi, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Sepusi, ʻi heʻenau fanongo ai;
2 Na huihui tahi ana ratou ki te whawhai ki a Hohua ratou ko Iharaira, kotahi tonu te whakaaro.
Naʻa nau fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu, kenau tauʻi loto taha pē ʻa Siosiua, mo ʻIsileli.
3 No te rongonga ia o nga tangata o Kipeono ki nga mea i meatia e Hohua ki Heriko raua ko Hai,
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai ʻo Kipione ki he meʻa kuo fai ʻe Siosiua ki Seliko, pea mo ʻAi,
4 Ka mahi koroke ratou, ka haere me te mea he karere ratou; ka tango hoki ki nga putea tawhito ki runga ki o ratou kaihe, i nga koki waina hoki kua tawhitotia, kua pakarukaru, putiki rawa;
Naʻa nau fai fakakākā, ʻonau ʻalu ʻo fai ʻo hangē ko ha kau tangata talafekau ʻakinautolu, ʻo ʻai ʻae ngaahi kato motuʻa ki heʻenau fanga ʻasi, mo e ngaahi hina uaine, kuo motuʻa, mo mahae, kuo nonoʻo ʻo ʻoposi:
5 Me nga hu tawhito ki o ratou waewae, papaki rawa, ko o ratou kakahu he mea tawhito; ko nga taro katoa hoki, ko o ratou o, he maroke, he puruhekaheka.
Mo e ngaahi topuvaʻe motuʻa kuo monomono ki honau vaʻe, pea ʻai mo e ngaahi kofu motuʻa kiate kinautolu: pea ko e ma kotoa pē ʻo honau ʻoho naʻe mōmoa mo tuʻungafulufulua.
6 Na haere ana ratou ki a Hohua ki te puni, ki Kirikara, a mea ana ki a ia, ki nga tangata hoki o Iharaira, I haere mai matou i te whenua mamao; na, whakaritea he kawenata ki a matou.
Pea naʻa nau ʻalu kia Siosiua ʻi he ʻapitanga ʻi Kilikali, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, pea ki he kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli, “Kuo mau haʻu mei he fonua mamaʻo: pea ko eni te tau alea mo kimoutolu.”
7 Na ka mea atu nga tangata o Iharaira ki nga Hiwi, E noho nei ano pea koe i waenganui i ahau; a me pehea e whakarite ai ahau i te kawenata ki a koe?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻIsileli ki he kau Hevi, “Naʻa ko e kakai ʻoku tau nonofo ni ʻakimoutolu; pea ʻe fēfē ʻemau lea ke lelei mo kimoutolu?”
8 Na ka mea ratou ki a Hohua, He pononga matou nau; a ka mea a Hohua ki a ratou, Ko wai ma koutou? I haere mai koutou i hea?
Pea naʻa nau tala kia Siosiua, “Ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimautolu. Pea pehē ʻe Siosiua kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻakimoutolu? Pea kuo mou haʻu mei fē?”
9 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, I haere mai au pononga i tetahi whenua tawhiti noa atu, na te ingoa hoki o Ihowa, o tou Atua: i rongo hoki matou ki tona rongo, ki nga mea katoa hoki i mea ai ia ki Ihipa,
Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Kuo haʻu hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki mei he fonua mamaʻo, ko e meʻa ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: he kuo mau fanongo ki hono ongoongo, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ʻi ʻIsipite.
10 Ki nga mea katoa ano hoki i mea ai ia ki nga kingi tokorua o nga Amori i tera taha o Horano, ki a Hihona kingi o Hehepona, raua ko Oka kingi o Pahana, i noho ra i Ahataroto.
Mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ki he ongo tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻakinaua naʻe ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻa Hesiponi, pea kia Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ʻAsitelote.
11 Na reira i ki mai ai o matou kaumatua me nga tangata katoa o to matou whenua ki a matou, i mea ai, Maua atu i o koutou ringa he o ki te huarahi, a haere ki te whakatau i a ratou, ka mea hoki ki a ratou, Ko a koutou pononga matou; na whakaritea m ai he kawenata ki a matou.
Ko ia naʻe lea ai ʻemau kau mātuʻa mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻo homau fonua, ʻo pehē, Toʻo ʻae meʻakai ki homou fononga, pea ʻalu ʻo fakafetaulaki kiate kinautolu, pea mou pehē kiate kinautolu, Ko hoʻomou kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimautolu: ko ia fokotuʻu hoʻomou fekau kiate kimautolu.
12 Na ko a matou taro i maua mahanatia mai nei i o matou whare hei o mo matou i te ra i turia mai ai e matou, i haere mai ai ki a koutou, nana, kua maroke, kua puruhekahekatia.
Ko ʻemau ma ni naʻa mau toʻo mafana pe mei homau ngaahi fale ko homau ʻoho ʻi he ʻaho naʻa mau haʻu ai he mau hoko kiate kimoutolu; ka ko eni, vakai, kuo mōmoa ia, pea kuo tuʻungafulufulua.
13 Ko nga koki waina nei hoki, i hou nei i ta matou whakakiinga, na kua pakarukaru; ko enei kakahu hoki o matou, me o matou hu, kua tawhitotia i te roa whakaharahara o te huarahi.
Pea ko e ngaahi hina ni ʻoe uaine, ʻaia naʻa mau fakafonu, ʻoku foʻou; pea vakai, kuo nau mahae: pea ko ʻemau ngaahi kofu ni, mo e ngaahi topuvaʻe kuo hoko ʻo motuʻa ko e mae ʻi he fononga lōloa ʻaupito.”
14 Na ka tango nga tangata i etahi o o ratou o, a kihai i ui whakaaro i to Ihowa waha.
Pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻenau meʻakai, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau fehuʻi ʻi he fofonga ʻo Sihova.
15 A houhia iho e Hohua te rongo ki a ratou, whakaritea ana hoki e ia he kawenata whakaora mo ratou; i oati ano nga rangatira o te huihui ki a ratou.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae fakalelei ʻe Siosiua mo kinautolu, ʻo alea mo kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke tuku kenau moʻui: pea naʻe fuakava kiate kinautolu ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe fakataha.
16 Na i te mutunga o nga ra e toru i muri iho i ta ratou whakaritenga i te kawenata ki a ratou, ka rongo ratou, e tata tonu ana ratou ki a ratou, e noho ana hoki i waenganui i a ratou.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene ʻosi mai ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu, hili ʻenau fai ʻae lea mo kinautolu, naʻa nau fanongo, tā ko e vāofi pe ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoku nau nofo ofi kiate kinautolu.
17 Na ka hapainga atu e nga tama a Iharaira, ka tae i te ra tuatoru ki o ratou pa. Ko o ratou pa hoki ko Kipeono, ko Kepira, ko Peeroto, ko Kiriata Tearimi.
Pea naʻe fononga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo hoko atu ki honau kolo ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho. Pea ko ʻenau ngaahi kolo, ko Kipione, mo Kifila, mo Piheloti, mo Kesa-Sialimi.
18 A kihai nga tama a Iharaira i patu i a ratou, no te mea kua oati nga rangatira o te huihuinga i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira, ki a ratou. A amuamu katoa ana te huihuinga ki nga rangatira.
Pea naʻe ʻikai teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e meʻa ʻi he houʻeiki ʻoe kakai naʻa nau fuakava kiate kinautolu ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli. Pea naʻe lāunga ʻae kakai kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko e houʻeiki.
19 Na ka mea nga rangatira katoa ki te huihui katoa, Kua oati tatou i a Ihowa i te Atua o Iharaira, ki a ratou; no reira e kore tatou e ahei aianei te pa ki a ratou.
Ka naʻe lea ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē ki he kakai, “Kuo ʻosi ʻemau fuakava kiate kinautolu ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli: ko ia ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke mau ala kiate kinautolu.
20 Ko tenei ta tatou e mea ai ki a ratou, ka waiho i a ratou kia ora; kei riria tatou mo te oati i oati ai tatou ki a ratou.
Te tau fai ʻae meʻa ni kiate kinautolu; tuku pe kenau moʻui, telia naʻa ʻiate kitautolu ʻae houhau, ko e meʻa ʻi he fuakava ʻaia kuo tau fai kiate kinautolu.
21 A ka mea nga rangatira ki a ratou, me whakaora ratou; otiia me waiho ratou hei tapatapahi rakau, hei utuutu wai mo te huihui katoa; kia rite ai ki ta nga rangatira i korero ai ki a ratou.
Pea naʻe tala ʻe he houʻeiki kiate kinautolu, Tuku kenau moʻui; kae hoko ʻakinautolu ko e kau tā fefie mo e kau ʻutu vai ki he kakai kotoa pē,” ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae houʻeiki kiate kinautolu.
22 Katahi ka karangatia ratou e Hohua, ka korero ia ki a ratou, ka mea, He aha koutou i nuka ai i a matou, i mea ai, Kei tawhiti noa atu koutou i a matou; e noho nei ano koutou i waenganui i a matou?
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua kenau haʻu, pea naʻe lea ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo mou kākā ai kiate kimautolu, ʻo pehē, ʻOku mau mamaʻo, ʻaupito meiate kimoutolu; kae tā ʻoku tau nonofo mo kimoutolu?
23 No reira ka kanga koutou; a e kore e kore he kaimahi o koutou, hei tapatapahi rakau, hei utuutu wai hoki mo te whare o toku Atua.
Pea ko eni, ʻoku malaʻia ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻe ʻikai fakatauʻatāina hamou tokotaha mei he pōpula, ka ko e kau tā fefie mo e kau ʻutu vai ʻakimoutolu ki he fale ʻo hoku ʻOtua.”
24 Na ka whakautua e ratou ki a Hohua, ka mea, I tino korerotia hoki ki au pononga nga mea i whakaritea e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a Mohi, ki tana pononga mo te whenua katoa, kia hoatu ki a koutou, kia huna atu hoki nga tangata katoa o te whenua i o k outou aroaro; na reira matou i tino wehi ai i a koutou, kei mate matou, na meatia ana e matou tenei mea.
Pea naʻa nau lea kia Siosiua ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he fakahā ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻae fekau ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kia Mōsese ke foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fonua kotoa pē, pea ke mou fakaʻauha ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua mei homou ʻao, ko ia naʻa mau manavahē lahi ai koeʻuhi ko ʻemau moʻui koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, pea ko ia kuo mau fai ai ʻae meʻa ni.
25 Na, kei roto tenei matou i ou ringa: mau e mea ki a matou te mea e pai ana, e tika ana ki tau titiro.
Pea ko eni, vakai, ʻoku mau ʻi ho nima: ke ke fai kiate kimautolu ʻaia ʻoku matamatalelei mo totonu kiate koe.”
26 Na peratia ana ratou e ia, a whakaorangia ake ratou i te ringa o nga tama a Iharaira, a kihai ratou i patua.
Pea naʻa ne fai ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo fakahaofi ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.
27 Na waiho iho ratou i taua ra e Hohua hei tapatapahi rakau, hei utuutu wai mo te huihui, mo te aata hoki a Ihowa ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai ia a tae noa mai ki tenei ra.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ko e kau tā fefie, mo e kau ʻutu vai ki he kakai ʻoe fakataha, pea ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, ʻio, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni, ʻi he potu ko ia te ne fili.
