Kaiwhakariterite 6

1 Na ka mahi kino nga tamariki a Iharaira i te tirohanga a Ihowa, a tukua ana ratou e Ihowa ki te ringa o Miriana e whitu nga tau.

Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻo Mitiane:

2 A nui atu te kaha o te ringa o Miriana i to Iharaira: a na Miriana i hanga ai e nga tamariki a Iharaira nga rua i nga maunga mo ratou, me nga ana, me nga pa taiepa.

Pea naʻe mālohi ʻae nima ʻo Mitiane ki ʻIsileli: pea ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai Mitiane naʻe ngaohi ʻe he kakai ʻIsileli moʻonautolu ʻae ngaahi toitoiʻanga ʻi he ngaahi ʻana, mo e ngaahi potu mālohi, ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga.

3 Na ka oti te mahi whakato a Iharaira, ka haere ake nga Miriani ratou ko nga Amareki, me nga tangata o te rawhiti; ka haere ake ki te whakaeke i a ratou.

Pea naʻe pehē, feʻunga mo e tō ʻae taʻu ʻe ʻIsileli, naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kakai Mitiane, mo e kakai ʻAmaleki, mo e fānau mei he potu hopoʻangalaʻā, ʻio, naʻe haʻu ʻakinautolu ketau kiate kinautolu;

4 Whakapaea iho e ratou, a moti ake i a ratou nga hua o te whenua, a tae noa koe ki Kaha, kihai hoki i mahue tetahi oranga mo Iharaira, kahore he hipi, he kau, he kaihe ranei.

Pea naʻa nau fakanofo ʻae tau kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa nau maumau ʻae fua ʻoe fonua, ʻo fai atu ki Kesa, pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ha meʻakai ki ʻIsileli, pe ha sipi, pe ha pulu, pe ha ʻasi.

5 I whakaeke mai hoki ratou me a ratou kararehe, i haere mai me o ratou teneti; koia ano kei nga mawhitiwhiti te maha; e kore hoki e taea te tatau ratou me a ratou kamera: na haere mai ana ratou ki te whenua whakangaro ai.

He naʻa nau ʻalu hake mo ʻenau fanga manu mo honau ngaahi tuʻu fale, pea nau haʻu ʻo hangē ko e fanga heʻe honau toko lahi; he ko kinautolu mo ʻenau ngaahi kāmeli naʻe taʻefaʻalaua: pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he fonua ko hono fakaʻauha.

6 Na kua rawakore noa iho a Iharaira i a Miriana; a ka tangi nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Ihowa.

Pea naʻe fakamasiva lahi ʻa ʻIsileli ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai Mitiane; pea naʻe tangi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova.

7 A, no te tangihanga o nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Ihowa i te mahi a Miriana,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he tangi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai Mitiane,

8 Ka tono tangata a Ihowa ki nga tamariki a Iharaira, he poropiti, hei mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Naku koutou i kawe mai ki runga nei i Ihipa; naku hoki koutou i whakaputa mai i te whare pononga;

Naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ʻae palōfita ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, “Naʻaku ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei ʻIsipite, pea ʻomi ʻakimoutolu kituʻa mei he fale ʻoe fakapōpula;

9 Naku koutou i whakaora i te ringa o nga Ihipiana, i te ringa hoki o o koutou kaitukino katoa; a peia atu ana ratou e ahau i to koutou aroaro, hoatu ana hoki e ahau to ratou whenua ki a koutou.

Pea naʻaku fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei he nima ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite, pea mei he nima ʻokinautolu, kotoa pē naʻe fakamamahiʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea u kapusi atu ʻakinautolu mei homou ʻao, pea u foaki kiate kimoutolu honau fonua;

10 I mea ano ahau ki a koutou, Ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua; kaua e wehingia nga atua o nga Amori no ratou nei te whenua e noho na koutou: heoi kahore koutou i rongo ki toku reo.

Pea ne u pehē kiate kimoutolu, Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ko e fonua ʻonautolu ʻoku mou nofo ai: ka kuo ʻikai te mou fai talangofua ki hoku leʻo.”

11 Na ka haere mai te anahera a Ihowa, a noho ana i raro i tetahi oki i Opora, he rakau na Ioaha Apieteri: i te patu witi hoki tana tama, a Kiriona ki te poka waina, he mea kia toe ai i nga Miriani.

Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova, pea nofo ʻi he lolo oke ʻaia naʻe ʻi Ofila, pea naʻe ʻo Soasi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻApiesa: pea naʻe haha uite ʻe hono foha ko Kitione ʻo ofi ki he tataʻoʻanga uaine, ke fufū ia mei he kakai Mitiane.

12 Na ka puta te anahera a Ihowa ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Kei a koe a Ihowa, e te tangata marohirohi.

Pea naʻe fakahāhā ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova, ʻa koe ko e tangata mālohi mo toʻa.”

13 Na ka mea a Kiriona ki a ia, Aue, e toku Ariki, me i a matou a Ihowa, na te aha i pono mai ai ki a matou enei mea katoa? kei hea hoki ana merekara i korero mai ai o matou matua ki a matou, i mea ai, Kahore ianei a Ihowa i kawe mai i a tatou i Ih ipa? na kua whakarere nei a Ihowa i a matou, kua tukua ano matou ki te ringa o Miriana.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kitione kiate ia, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, kapau ʻoku ʻiate kimautolu ʻa Sihova, ko e hā kuo tō ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimautolu? Pea kuo ʻi fē ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ʻaia naʻe tala ʻe heʻemau ngaahi tamai kiate kimautolu, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻIkai naʻe ʻomi ʻakimautolu ʻe Sihova mei ʻIsipite?’ Ka ko eni kuo liʻaki ʻakimautolu ʻe Sihova, pea kuo tukuange ʻakimautolu ki he nima ʻoe kakai Mitiane.”

14 Na ka tahuri atu a Ihowa ki a ia, ka mea, Haere i runga i tenei kaha ou, whakaorangia hoki a Iharaira i te ringa o Miriana: kahore ianei ahau i tono i a koe?

Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAlu ʻi he mālohi ni ʻoʻou, pea te ke fakamoʻui ʻe koe ʻa ʻIsileli mei he nima ʻoe kakai Mitiane: ʻikai kuo u fekauʻi koe?”

15 Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Aue, e toku Ariki, ma te aha ahau e whakaora ai i a Iharaira? titiro, noku te hapu rawakore i roto i a Manahi, ko te iti rawa hoki ahau i roto i te whare o toku papa.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, ʻe fakamoʻui fēfeeʻi ʻeau ʻa ʻIsileli? Vakai, ʻoku masiva hoku fale ʻi Manase, pea ko e siʻi hifo taha pe au ʻi he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai.”

16 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Ko ahau ra hei hoa mou; a ka patua e koe nga Miriani, me te mea he tangata kotahi.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, Ko e moʻoni te u ʻiate koe, pea te ke taaʻi ʻae kakai Mitiane ʻo hangē ko e tangata pē taha.

17 Ano ra ko ia ki a ia, Na ki te mea kua manakohia ahau e koe, tena ra, whakaaturia mai he tohu ki ahau ko koe tenei e korero mai nei ki ahau.

Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko eni kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke fakahā kiate au ha fakaʻilonga ʻoku ta alea mo koe.

18 Kaua ra e haere atu i konei, kia tae mai ra ano ahau ki a koe ki te kawe mai i taku whakahere, kia whakatakotoria ra ano e ahau ki tou aroaro. Na ko tana meatanga, Ka noho ahau, kia hoki mai ra ano koe.

‌ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu ʻi heni, kaeʻoua ke u haʻu kiate koe mo ʻeku meʻaʻofa, pea u fokotuʻu ia ʻi ho ʻao.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Te u tatali pē ke ʻoua ke ke toe haʻu.”

19 Katahi ka haere a Kiriona ki roto, a taka ana e ia tetahi kuao koati, me tetahi epa paraoa hei keke rewenakore: ko te kikokiko i whaowhina e ia ki te kete, ko te hupa i ringihia ki te pata, na kawea ana ki waho, ki a ia ki raro i te oki; a tapae a atu ana ki a ia.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Kitione, ʻo ne teu ʻae ʻuhikiʻi kosi, mo e mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi he efa ʻe taha ʻoe mahoaʻa: naʻa ne faʻo ʻae kakano ʻi ha kato, pea ne ʻai ʻae vaihū ki ha kulo, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki he lolo oke, ʻo ne ʻatu ia.

20 Na ka mea te anahera a te Atua ki a ia, Tangohia te kikokiko me nga keke rewenakore, ka whakatakoto ai ki runga ki tenei kamaka, ka riringi ai hoki i te hupa. Na pera ana ia.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia, “Toʻo ʻae kakano mo e ngaahi mā taʻefakalēvani, pea ʻai ia ki he maka ni, pea lilingi ʻae vaihū.” Pea naʻa ne fai ia.

21 Katahi ka whatorona atu e te anahera a Ihowa te pito o te tokotoko i tona ringa, a pa ana ki te kikokiko, ki nga keke rewenakore; na ko te putanga ake o te ahi i roto i te kamaka, pau ake te kikokiko me nga keke rewenakore. Na kua riro atu te an ahera a Ihowa i tana tirohanga.

Pea naʻe toki mafao atu ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ʻae muʻa tokotoko naʻe ʻi hono nima, ke lave ki he kakano mo e ngaahi mā taʻemeʻafakatupu; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae afi mei he maka, pea naʻe ʻosiʻosi ai ʻae kakano mo e ngaahi mā taʻefakalēvani. Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova mei hono ʻao.

22 A, no te kitenga o Kiriona ko te anahera ia a Ihowa, ka mea a Kiriona, Aue, e te Ariki, e Ihowa! moku hoki i kite i te anahera a Ihowa, he kanohi, he kanohi.

Pea ʻi he ʻilo ʻe Kitione ko e ʻāngelo ia ʻa Sihova, naʻe pehē ʻe Kitione, “ʻOiauē, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua! He kuo u mamata ki he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ko e mata ki he mata.”

23 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Kia tau te rangimarie ki a koe; kaua e wehi: e kore koe e mate.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Ke fiemālie pe koe; ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē: ʻe ʻikai te ke mate.”

24 Na ka hanga e Kiriona tetahi aata ma Ihowa ki reira, a huaina iho e ia ko Ihowaharomo: kei Opora o nga Apieteri na ano taua mea a taea noatia tenei ra.

Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻe Kitione ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova, ʻo ne ui ia, ko Sihova-Salomi: ʻoku ʻi Ofila ia ʻoe kau ʻApiesa ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.

25 A i taua po ano ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Tikina te puru a tou papa, ara te rua o nga puru, e whitu nei ona tau, ka wawahi ai i te aata a Paara, i tera a tou papa: me tua hoki te motu nehenehe i tona taha.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he pō pe ko ia, naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Toʻo ʻae pulu mui ʻa hoʻo tamai, ʻio, hono ua ʻoe pulu ʻoku fitu taʻu ʻene motuʻa, pea tulaki hifo ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo Peali ʻaia naʻe langa ʻe hoʻo tamai, pea tā hifo ʻae vao tapu ʻoku ofi ki ai:

26 Me hanga hoki ki tona tikanga ano he aata ma Ihowa ma tou Atua ki runga ki tenei kamaka, ka mau ai ki te tuarua o nga puru, ka whakaeke hei tahunga tinana ki runga ki nga rakau o te nehenehe e tuaina e koe.

Pea ke langa ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he funga ʻoe maka ni, ʻi he potu mālohi, pea ke ʻomi hono ua ʻoe pulu, pea ʻatu ia ko e feilaulau tutu ia, mo fefie ʻaki ʻae ʻakau ʻoe vao tapu ʻaia ke ke tā hifo.”

27 Na ka tango a Kiriona i etahi tangata kotahi tekau no ana pononga, a rite tonu tana i mea ai ki ta Ihowa i korero ai ki a ia: na i wehi ia i te whare o tona papa, i nga tangata ano hoki o te pa, i kore ai e meatia e ia i te awatea; koia i meatia ai e ia i te po.

Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Kitione ʻae kau tangata ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻe toko hongofulu, ʻo ne fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate ia: pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene manavahē ki he kakai ʻoe fale ʻo ʻene tamai, mo e kau tangata ʻoe kolo, naʻe ʻikai te ne mafai ia ʻi he ʻaho, pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ia ʻi he poʻuli.

28 Na, i te marangatanga ake o nga tangata o te pa i te ata, rere! kua wahia iho te aata a Paara, kua oti te motu nehenehe i tona taha te tua, kua oti hoki te tuarua o nga puru te whakaeke ki te aata i hanga ra.

Pea ʻi he tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he pongipongi ʻae kau tangata ʻoe kolo, vakai, ko e feilaulauʻanga ʻo Peali kuo tulaki ki lalo, pea kuo tā hifo mo e vao tapu naʻe ofi ki ai, pea ko hono ua ʻoe pulu kuo ʻosi hono ʻatu ʻo feilaulau ʻaki ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻaia naʻe langa.

29 Na ka mea tetahi ki tetahi, Na wai tenei mahi? A ka rapu ratou, ka ui, na ka korerotia, I meatia tenei e Kiriona tama a Ioaha.

Pea naʻa nau fepehēʻaki ʻiate kimautolu, “Ko hai kuo ne fai ʻae meʻa ni?” Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻeke mo fehuʻi, naʻa nau pehē, Kuo fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻe Kitione ko e foha ʻo Soasi.

30 Na ka mea nga tangata o te pa ki a Ioaha, Whakaputaina mai tau tama ki waho, kia whakamatea; mona i wahi i te aata a Paara, i tua hoki i te nehenehe i tona taha.

Pea pehē ai ʻe he kau tangata ʻoe kolo kia Soasi, “ʻOmi ho foha kituʻa ke tāmate ia: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene tulaki hifo ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo Peali, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene tā hifo ʻae vao tapu naʻe ofi ki ai.”

31 Na ka mea a Ioaha ki te hunga katoa e tu mai ana ki a ia, Ko koutou ranei hei tohe i ta Paara? Ko koutou ranei hei whakaora i a ia? Ki te tohe tetahi mona, me whakamate ia i te ata nei ano. Ki te mea he atua ia, mana ano ia e tohe mo tana aata k ua wahia nei.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Soasi kiate kinautolu naʻe angatuʻu kiate ia, “Te mou langomakiʻi ʻa Peali? He te ne fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu? Ko ia ʻoku langomakiʻi ʻa Peali ke tāmateʻi ia ʻi he kei pongipongi: kapau ko e ʻotua ia, ke langomakiʻi ia ʻe ia pe, koeʻuhi kuo tulaki hifo ʻe ha tokotaha ʻa hono feilaulauʻanga.”

32 Na huaina iho ia e ia taua ra, Ko Ierupaara; i mea hoki, Ma Paara ano e tohe ki a ia mo tana aata kua wahia nei.

Ko ia naʻa ne ui ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ko Selupeali, ʻo pehē, “Tuku ke langomakiʻi ia ʻe Peali, he kuo ne tulaki hifo hono feilaulauʻanga.”

33 Na ka huihui tahi nga Miriani katoa ratou ko nga Amareki, ko nga tangata o te rawhiti, a ka whiti, ka noho hoki ki te raorao o Ietereere.

Pea naʻe toki fakataha ai ʻae kakai Mitiane kotoa pē mo e kakai ʻAmaleki mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻoe potu hahake, ʻonau ʻalu atu, ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Sesilili.

34 Na kua tau te wairua o Ihowa ki runga ki a Kiriona, a whakatangihia ana e ia te tetere; a huihuia ana a Apietere ki te aru i a ia.

Ka naʻe hoko kia Kitione ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova, pea ne ifi ʻe ia ʻae meʻalea: pea naʻe fakataha ʻo muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai ʻApiesa.

35 I tono karere ano ia puta noa i a Manahi, a ka huihuia ano ratou ki a ia: i tono karere ano ia ki a Ahera, ki a Hepurona, ki a Napatari; a ka haere ake ratou ki te whakatau i a ratou.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ki Manase kotoa pē, pea naʻa nau tānaki ʻo muimui ʻiate ia foki: pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ki ʻAseli, pea ki Sepuloni, mo Nafitalai; pea naʻa nau haʻu ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinautolu.

36 Na ka mea a Kiriona ki te Atua, Ki te mea noku te ringa e whakaorangia ai e koe a Iharaira, pera me tau i korero mai ra,

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kitione ki he ʻOtua, Kapau te ke fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli ʻaki hoku nima ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola,

37 Na ka waiho e ahau te huruhuru hipi ki runga ki te patunga witi; a ki te mea kei te huruhuru anake te tomairangi, a he maroke a runga katoa o te whenua, katahi ahau ka mohio noku te ringa e whakaorangia ai e koe a Iharaira, ka rite ano ki tau i korero ra.

Vakai, te u ʻai ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi kotoa ki he kelekele: pea kapau ʻoku ʻi he fulufuluʻi sipi pe ʻae hahau, pea mōmoa ʻae kelekele kotoa pē, te u ʻilo ai te ke fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hoku nima, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.

38 A pera tonu: i maranga wawe hoki ia i te ata, a ka romia e ia te huruhuru, a tauia ana te tomairangi i roto i te huruhuru, ki tonu te peihana i te wai.

Pea naʻe pehē: he naʻe tuʻu pongipongi hake ia ʻi he pongipongi, ʻo tatau ʻae hahau mei he fulufuluʻi sipi, pea naʻe fonu ha ipu ʻi he vai.

39 I mea ano a Kiriona ki te Atua, Kei mura tou riri ki ahau, a heoi ano he korero maku ko tenei: tena, kia kotahi ake whakamatau maku i te huruhuru, a ka kati. Kia maroke ko te huruhuru anake, a kia whai tomairangi a runga i te whenua katoa.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kitione ki he ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa tupu ʻo lahi hoʻo houhau kiate au, pea te u lea ke tuʻo taha ni: ʻoku ou kole kiate koe tuku au ke u ʻahiʻahiʻi koe ke tuʻo taha ni ʻaki ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi: tuku ke mōmoa pe ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi, kae ʻi he kelekele kotoa pē ʻae hahau.

40 A i peratia e te Atua i taua po: ko te huruhuru anake i maroke, a he tomairangi i te whenua katoa.

Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he pō ko ia: he naʻe mōmoa ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi pe, ka naʻe hahauʻia ʻae kelekele kotoa pē.
