Kaiwhakariterite 18

1 I aua ra kahore o Iharaira kingi: i aua ra hoki e rapu ana te iwi o nga Rani i tetahi kainga mo ratou hei nohoanga; kihai hoki tetahi kainga tupu i tau ki a ratou i roto i nga iwi o Iharaira a tae noa ki taua ra.

‌ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli: pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe kumi ʻe he faʻahinga ʻo Tani hanau tofiʻa kenau nofo ai; koeʻuhi naʻe teʻeki ai ke tō honau tofiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ko ia.

2 Na ka tono nga tamariki a Rana i etahi tangata tokorima o to ratou hapu, he hunga maia, i roto i o ratou rohe, i Toraha, i Ehetaoro, hei tutei i te whenua, hei titiro hoki: i mea hoki ki a ratou, Tikina, tirohia te whenua. Na ka tae ratou ki te w henua pukepuke o Eparaima, ki te whare o Mika, noho ana i reira.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he fānau ʻa Tani ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima ʻi honau faʻahinga mei honau fonua, ʻae kau tangata toʻa, mei Sola pea mei Esitaoli, kenau vakai ʻae fonua, pea ke malakiʻi ia; pea naʻa nau pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻAlu, pea matakiʻi ʻae fonua: pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ki he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, ki he fale ʻo Maika, naʻa nau mohe ʻi ai.

3 I a ratou i te whare o Mika, ka mohiotia e ratou te reo o taua taitamariki, o te Riwaiti: na peka ana ki reira, a ka mea ki a ia, Na wai koe i kawe mai ki konei? e aha ana hoki koe i konei? a he aha tau i konei?

Pea ʻi heʻenau ofi ki he fale ʻo Maika, naʻa nau ʻilo ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangata talavou ko e Livai: pea naʻa nau afe ki ai, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Ko hai naʻa ne ʻomi koe ki heni? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke fai ʻi heni?”

4 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko nga mea tenei i meatia e Mika ki ahau; nana hoki ahau i utu, na hei tohunga ano ahau ki a ia.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē pē, mo pehē pe ʻe Maika kiate au, pea kuo ne nō au kiate ia ʻaki ʻae totongi, pea ko hono taulaʻeiki au.”

5 A ka mea ratou ki a ia, Tena, ui atu ki te Atua kia mohio ai matou ka tika ranei to matou ara e haere nei matou.

Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko eni ʻoku mau kole kiate koe, ke ke kole ki he ʻOtua ʻae poto, koeʻuhi ke mau ʻilo pē ʻe monūʻia homau hala ʻaia ʻoku mau ʻalu ai.”

6 Na ka mea te tohunga ki a ratou, Haere marie, kei te aroaro o Ihowa to koutou ara e haere na koutou.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki, “Mou ʻalu fiemālie pē: ʻoku ʻafio ʻe Sihova ʻa homou hala ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ai.”

7 Na ka haere aua tangata tokorima, ka tae ki Raihi, a ka kite i nga tangata o reira, i te pai o ta ratou noho, rite tonu ki a nga Haironi, te ata noho, te mau; kahore hoki he tangata whai mana o te whenua hei mea kia whakama ratou ki tetahi mea, a e matara mai ana ratou i nga Haironi, kahore hoki a ratou aha ki tetahi tangata.

Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ai ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima ʻonau hoko ki Leisi, ʻo mamata ki he kakai naʻe ʻi ai, mo ʻenau nofo noa ai pe, ʻo hangē ko e kau Saitoni, ʻo fakafiemālie pe mo hamumunoa; pea naʻe ʻikai ha fakamaau ʻi he fonua ke fakamā ʻakinautolu ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha; pea naʻa nau mamaʻo mei he kau Saitoni; pea naʻe ʻikai tenau feongoongoi mo ha kakai.

8 Na ka tae ratou ki o ratou tuakana, ki Toraha, ki Ehetaoro; a ka mea o ratou tuakana ki a ratou, He aha ta koutou korero?

Pea naʻa nau haʻu ki honau kāinga ki Sola mo Esitaoli: pea pehē ʻe honau kāinga kiate kinautolu, Ko e hā hoʻomou lea?

9 Katahi ratou ka mea atu, Whakatika, kia whakaekea ratou e tatou; kua kite hoki matou i te whenua, na he pai rawa; a me ata noho ano ranei koutou? kaua ra e mangere, ki te haere ki te tango i tera whenua:

Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Tuʻu hake koeʻuhi ke tau ʻalu hake kiate kinautolu: he kuo mau mamata ki he fonua, pea vakai, ʻoku lelei ʻaupito ia: pea ʻoku mou taʻengāue? ʻOua naʻa mou fakapikopiko ke ʻalu, pea ke hoko atu pea maʻu ʻae fonua.

10 Ka haere koutou, ka tae atu koutou ki tetahi iwi e noho tatu ana, a he nui hoki te whenua; kua homai nei hoki e te Atua ki o koutou ringa; he wahi, kahore nei i hapa i tetahi mea o te whenua.

Ka mou ka ʻalu, te mou hoko ki he kakai ʻoku nofo noa pē, pea ki he fonua lahi: he kuo foaki ia ʻe he ʻOtua ki homou nima; ko e potu ʻoku ʻikai masiva ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ʻi māmani.”

11 Na turia atu ana i reira e te hapu o nga Rani, i roto i Toraha, i Ehetaoro, e ono rau tangata, whitiki rawa ki nga rakau o te whawhai.

Pea naʻe ʻalu mei ai ʻi he fānau ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Tani, mei Sola pea mei Esitaoli, ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau naʻe toʻo mahafutau.

12 Na ka haere ratou, a ka pupahi ki Kiriata Tearimi, ki Hura; koia i huaina ai te ingoa o tera wahi, ko Mahanerana a mohoa noa nei: koia tena i tua atu o Kiriata Tearimi.

Pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake, ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi Keasa-Sialimi, ʻi Siuta: ko ia naʻa nau ui ai ʻae potu ko ia ko Mahaneani ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni: vakai, ʻoku tuʻu ia ʻituʻa Keasa-Sialimi.

13 Na, i haere atu ratou i reira ki te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, a ka tae ki te whare o Mika.

Pea naʻa nau ʻalu mei ai ki he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ʻo hoko atu ki he fale ʻo Maika.

14 Na ko te ohonga o nga tangata tokorima i haere nei ki te tutei i te whenua o Raihi, ka mea ki o ratou tuakana, E mohio ana ranei koutou kei enei whare he epora, he terapimi, he whakapakoko whaowhao, me tetahi mea whakarewa? na ma koutou te whaka aro ki ta koutou e mea ai.

Pea naʻe lea ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima naʻe ʻalu ke matakiʻi ʻae fonua ko Leisi, ʻonau pehē ki honau kāinga, “ʻOku mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi fale ni ʻae ʻefoti, mo e tamapua, mo e meʻa fakatātā kuo tā mo e fakatātā kuo haka? Pea ko eni mou fakakaukau pe ko e hā te mou fai.”

15 Na ka peka ratou ki reira, a ka tae ki te whare o taua taitamariki, o te Riwaiti, ara ki te whare o Mika, a oha atu ana ki a ia.

Pea naʻa nau afe ki ai, pea hoko ki fale ʻoe talavou ko e Livai, ʻio, ki he fale ʻo Maika ʻonau fetapa kiate ia.

16 A, ko nga tangata e ono rau o nga tama a Rana me a ratou rakau whawhai, tu tonu i te tomokanga o te kuwaha.

Pea ko e kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau naʻe toʻo mahafutau ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fānau ʻa Tani, naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā.

17 Na haere atu ana nga tangata tokorima i haere ra ki te tutei i te whenua, a ka tae ki reira; kei te tango i te whakapakoko whakairo, i te epora, i nga terapimi, i te whakapakoko hoki i whakarewaina: na ko te tohunga i te tomokanga ki te kuwaha e tu ana, ratou ko nga tangata e ono rau, me a ratou rakau whawhai, whitiki tonu.

Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻo hū ki ai, ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima, naʻe ʻalu ke matakiʻi ʻae fonua, ʻo [nau ]toʻo ʻae meʻa fakatātā kuo tā mo e ʻefoti, mo e tamapua, mo e fakatātā kuo haka; pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae taulaʻeiki ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā fakataha mo e kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau ʻaia naʻe toʻo mahafutau.

18 A, no te haerenga o era ki te whare o Mika, no te tangohanga i te whakapakoko whakairo, i te epora, i nga terapimi, i te mea hoki i whakarewaina, ka mea te tohunga ki a ratou, E aha ana koutou?

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻakinautolu ki he fale ʻo Maika, pea ʻomi mei ai ʻae meʻa fakatātā kuo tā, mo e ʻefoti, mo e tamapua, mo e fakatātā kuo haka. Pea pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fai?”

19 Ano ra ko ratou ki a ia, Whakarongoa, kopania atu tou ringa ki tou mangai, a haere mai tatou, hei matua hoki koe mo matou, hei tohunga. Ko tehea te mea pai? kia waiho koe hei tohunga mo te whare o te tangata kotahi, kia waiho ranei hei tohunga m o tetahi iwi, mo tetahi hapu hoki o Iharaira?

Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Ke ke longo pē koe; ʻai ho nima ki ho ngutu, pea ke haʻu ke tau ō, pea ke hoko kiate kimautolu ko e tamai mo e taulaʻeiki: he ʻoku lelei kiate koe ke nofo ko e taulaʻeiki ki he fale ʻoe tangata pē taha, pe ko hoʻo hoko ko e taulaʻeiki ki he faʻahinga mo e fale ʻo ʻIsileli?”

20 Na ka koa te ngakau o te tohunga, a ka mau ia ki te epora, ki nga terapimi, ki te whakapakoko whakairo, a haere ana i roto i taua hunga.

Pea naʻe fiefia ʻae loto ʻoe taulaʻeiki, pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae ʻefoti, mo e tamapua, mo e meʻa fakatātā kuo tā, pea ʻalu ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai.

21 Katahi ratou ka tahuri, ka haere; a maka ana e ratou nga tamariki, nga kararehe, me nga taonga ki mua i a ratou.

Ko ia naʻa nau tafoki ʻo ʻalu ai, pea naʻe fakaheka ʻae fānau siʻi ki he ngaahi saliote mo e fanga manu ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate kinautolu.

22 Ka matara atu ratou i te whare o Mika, na ka huihuia nga tangata o nga whare i tata ki te whare o Mika, a ka mau atu i a ratou nga tama a Rana.

Pea ʻi heʻenau mamaʻo atu mei he fale ʻo Maika, naʻe kātoa ʻae kau tangata naʻe ʻi he ngaahi fale ofi ki he fale ʻo Maika, ʻonau tuli ʻo hoko atu ki he fānau ʻa Tani.

23 Na ka karanga ratou ki nga tama a Rana. A ka tahuri mai nga aroaro o era, ka mea ki a Mika, He aha tau i huihui tangata mai ai koe?

Pea naʻa nau tangi ki he fānau ʻa Tani. Pea naʻa nau tangaki kimui, ʻo pehē kia Maika, “Ko e hā ʻaʻau, ʻoku ke haʻu ai mo e kakai pehē?”

24 Na ka mea ia, Kua tangohia atu ra e koutou aku atua i hanga ai, me te tohunga, a kua haere atu; a he aha atu ano taku? he aha hoki kia ki mai koutou ki ahau, He aha tau?

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo mou toʻo ʻo ʻave hoku ngaahi ʻotua naʻaku ngaohi, pea mo e taulaʻeiki, pea kuo mou ʻalu: pea ko e hā ʻoku toe ʻiate au? Pea ko e hā ia ʻoku mou lea ai kiate au, ‘Ko e hā ʻa au?’”

25 A ka mea nga tama a Rana ki a ia, Kei rangona tou reo e matou, kei torere atu ki a koe te hunga ngakau aritarita, a ka mate koe me tou whare katoa.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa Tani kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa ongona ho leʻo ʻiate kimautolu telia naʻa ʻoho atu kiate koe ʻae kau siana loto ʻita, pea ʻe mole ʻiate koe hoʻo moʻui, fakataha mo e moʻui ʻa ho kau nofoʻanga.”

26 Na haere ana nga tama a Rana i to ratou ara, i te kitenga hoki o Mika he kaha rawa ratou i a ia, ka tahuri ia, a hoki ana ki tona whare.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa Tani ʻi honau hala: pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Maika ki heʻenau fai mālohi lahi kiate ia, naʻe tafoki ia ʻo ʻalu ki hono fale.

27 A maua atu ana e ratou nga mea i hanga e Mika, me te tohunga i noho ki a ia, a haere ana ki Raihi, ki tetahi iwi e ata noho ana, kahore ona whakaohooho; na patua iho e ratou ki te mata o te hoari, tahuna ake hoki e ratou te pa ki te ahi.

Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe ngaohi ʻe Maika, mo e taulaʻeiki naʻa ne maʻu, ʻonau hoko ki Leisi, ki he kakai naʻe nofo fiemālie pe mo hamumunoa: pea naʻa nau teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea naʻe tutu ʻenau kolo ʻaki ʻae afi.

28 Kahore hoki he tangata hei whakaora; no te mea he matara a reira i Harona, kahore ano a ratou aha ki tetahi tangata: i te raorao hoki a reira, i Peterehopo. Na hanga ana e ratou te pa, a noho ana i reira.

Pea naʻe ʻikai ha fakamoʻui, he naʻe mamaʻo ia mei Saitoni, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau kau mo ha kakai; pea naʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he teleʻa ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki Pete-Lehopi. Pea naʻa nau langa ʻae kolo ʻo nofo ʻi ai.

29 A huaina ana e ratou te ingoa o te pa ko Rana, ko te ingoa o to ratou matua, o Rana, i whanau nei ma Iharaira: ko Raihi ia te ingoa o te pa i mua.

Pea naʻa nau ui ʻae hingoa ʻoe kolo ko Tani, ʻo hangē ko e hingoa ʻo Tani ko ʻenau tamai, ʻaia naʻe fānau kia ʻIsileli: ka ko e moʻoni naʻe fuofua ui ʻae kolo ko ia ko Leisi.

30 Na whakaturia ana e nga tama a Rana mo ratou te whakapakoko whaowhao, a ko Honatana hoki tama a Kerehoma, tama a Mohi, ratou ko ana tama nga tohunga o te iwi o nga Rana tae noa ki te ra i whakaraua ai te whenua.

Pea naʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻe he fānau ʻa Tani ʻae tamapua fakatātā: pea ko Sioatani, ko e foha ʻo Kesomi, ko e foha ʻo Manase, ko ia mo hono ngaahi foha naʻe hoko ko e kau taulaʻeiki ki he faʻahinga ʻo Tani ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻoe fakapōpulaʻi ʻae fonua.

31 A tu tonu ta ratou whakapakoko whakairo, ta Mika i hanga ra, i nga ra katoa o te whare o te Atua i Hiro.

Pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu hake ʻae tamapua naʻe tā ʻe Maika, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi, ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē naʻe nofo ai ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi Sailo.
