Maraki 1

1 Ko te poropititanga, he kupu na Ihowa ki a Iharaira, he mea na Maraki.

Ko e tala mamafa, ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻia Malakai, ki ʻIsileli.

2 I aroha ahau ki a koutou, e ai ta Ihowa, heoi e mea na koutou, He aroha aha tou ki a matou? He teka ianei he tuakana a Ehau no Hakopa? e ai ta Ihowa; heoi i aroha ahau ki a Hakopa,

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “kuo u ʻofa kiate kimoutolu.” Ka ʻoku mou pehē, “Kuo ke ʻofa ʻi he hā kiate kimautolu? ʻIkai ko e taʻokete ʻo Sēkope ʻa ʻIsoa?” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova: “Ka naʻaku ʻofa kia Sēkope,

3 Engari i kino ahau ki a Ehau, a i meinga e ahau ona maunga hei ururua, a hoatu ana tona kainga tupu ki nga kirehe mohoao o te koraha.

pea ne u fehiʻa kia ʻIsoa, pea naʻaku ʻai ke lala hono ngaahi moʻunga, mo hono tofiʻa ko e toafa ki he fanga ngata.”

4 Ko Eroma ia e ki ana, Kua pehia tatou ki raro, otiia ka hoki tatou, ka hanga i nga tuhea; ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Ma ratou e hanga, a maku e wahi; a ka huaina aua wahi, Ko te rohe kino, Ko te iwi i riri ai a Ihowa a ake ake.

Ka koeʻuhi ʻoku pehē ʻe ʻItomi, “Kuo fakamasiva ʻakimoutolu, ka te mau liliu mai mo langa hake ʻae ngaahi potu ʻoku lala;” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Te nau langa hake, ka te u holoki hifo ia ʻeau; pea tenau ui ʻakinautolu, ‘Ko e mata fonua ʻoe angahala,’ pea, ‘Ko e kakai ʻoku houhau ki ai ʻa Sihova ʻo taʻengata.’”

5 E kite ano o koutou kanohi, a ka mea koutou, Kia whakanuia a Ihowa i tua i te rohe o Iharaira.

Pea ʻe mamata ʻa homou mata, pea temou pehē, “ʻE fakaongoongolelei ʻa Sihova mei he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli.”

6 E whakahonoretia ana te papa e te tama, tona ariki e te pononga: ki te mea he matua ahau, kei hea toku honore? ki te mea he ariki ahau, kei hea te wehi ki ahau? e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano ki a koutou, e nga tohunga e whakahawea na ki toku ingoa, e mea na koutou, He whakahawea aha ta matou ki tou ingoa?

“ʻOku fakaʻapaʻapa ʻae foha ki heʻene tamai, mo e tamaioʻeiki ki heʻene ʻeiki: pea ka ko e tamai au, pea kofaʻā ʻa hoku ongoongolelei? Pea ka ko e ʻeiki au, kofaʻā ia ʻae manavahē kiate au? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau kiate kimoutolu, ʻE kau taulaʻeiki, ʻoku paetaku ki hoku huafa. Pea ʻoku mou pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻemau paetaku ki ho huafa?’

7 He taro poke ta koutou e tapae na i runga i taku aata, a e mea na koutou, I whakapokea koe e matou ki te aha? Ki ta koutou e ki na, Ko te tepu a Ihowa, he hanga mo te whakahawea.

‌ʻOku mou feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ma fakalielia ʻi hoku feilaulauʻanga; pea ʻoku mou pehē, ‘Kuo mau fakalieliaʻi koe ʻi he hā?’ ʻI hoʻomou pehē, ‘Ko e meʻa vaʻinga pe ʻae keinangaʻanga ʻa Sihova.’

8 Ki te tapaea hoki e koutou te matapo hei patunga tapu, ehara i te mea kino! ki te tapaea ano e koutou te mea totitoti, te mea mate, ehara i te kino! tena koa, hoatu aianei ki tou kawana; e pai ranei ia ki a koe? e manako ranei ia ki tou tinana? e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

Pea kapau ʻoku mou ʻomi ʻae kui ʻo feilaulauʻaki, ʻikai ʻoku kovi ia? Pea kapau ʻoku mou feilaulau ʻaki ʻaia ʻoku ketu mo ia ʻoku mahaki, ʻikai ko e kovi ia? Ko eni, ʻatu ia kiate ia ʻoku puleʻi koe; ʻe fiemālie ai ia kiate koe, pe te ne maʻu lelei koe?” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

9 Na, tena ra, inoi ki te Atua kia atawhai ki a tatou: na ta koutou mahi tenei: e manako ranei ia ki tetahi o koutou? e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, “Fakakolekole ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ke ne ʻaloʻofa mai kiate kitautolu: ʻoku mei homou nima ʻae meʻa ni: pea te ne maʻu lelei hamou taha?” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

10 Aue, me kore noa ake tetahi o koutou hei tutaki i nga tatau, kei whakau kau koutou i te ahi ki runga ki taku aata! Kahore oku ngakau ki a koutou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, e kore ano ahau e manako ki te whakahere a to koutou ringa.

“He ko hai koā ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu te ne fie tāpuni ha matapā taʻetotongi? Pea naʻa mo e tutu ʻae afi ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga ʻoʻoku ʻoku ʻikai fai taʻetotongi. ʻOku ʻikai te u leleiʻia ʻiate kimoutolu,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “pea ʻe ʻikai te u maʻu ha feilaulau mei homou nima.

11 Ka nui nei hoki toku ingoa i roto i nga tauiwi, i te whitinga o te ra a tae noa ki tona torengitanga; a ka tukua he whakakakara ki toku ingoa i nga wahi katoa, me te whakahere pokekore; ka nui hoki toku ingoa i roto i nga tauiwi, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

Koeʻuhi ʻe lahi ʻa hoku huafa ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi Senitaile, mei he hopo hake ʻae laʻā ʻo aʻu ki heʻene tō hifo; pea ʻe ʻomi ʻae fakanamu kakala ki hoku huafa mei he potu kotoa pē, mo e feilaulau maʻa; koeʻuhi ʻe ongoongo lahi ʻa hoku huafa ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

12 Ko koutou ia kei te whakapoke i taua ingoa, i a koutou e ki na, Ko te tepu a Ihowa he poke; ko ona hua, ko tana kai, he hanga mo te whakahawea.

“Ka kuo mou fakalieliaʻi ia, ʻi hoʻomou pehē, ‘ʻOku taʻemaʻa ʻae keinangaʻanga ʻa Sihova, ʻaia mo hono ngaahi fua, pea ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻa hono meʻakai.’

13 E mea ana ano koutou, Nana, te whakahoha! whakatupererutia iho e koutou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano; a maua mai ana e koutou te mea i haea, te mea totitoti, te mea mate; na kei te mau mai i te whakahere; e manakohia ranei tenei mea a to koutou rin ga? e ai ta Ihowa.

Naʻa mou pehē foki, ‘Vakai, tā ko e meʻa fakafiu!’ Pea kuo mou kuhu ki ai;” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “pea naʻa mou ʻomi ʻaia naʻe lavea, pea mo e ketu, pea mo e mahaki; naʻe pehē pe ʻa hoʻomou ʻomi ʻae feilaulau: pea ʻe totonu koā ʻa ʻeku maʻu ia mei homou nima?” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova.

14 He kanga ia mo te tangata tinihanga, he toa nei tana i roto i tana kahui, na ka puaki tana ki taurangi, a patua ana e ia te mea he ma te Ariki; he kingi nui hoki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, he hanga whakawehi ano toku ingoa i roto i nga taui wi.

“Ka ʻe malaʻia kiate ia ʻoku kākā, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi heʻene fanga manu ʻae manu tangata, pea kuo ne fuakava, ka ʻoku ne feilaulau ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakalielia kia Sihova:” he ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Ko au ko e Tuʻi lahi, pea ʻoku fakailifia ʻa hoku huafa ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni.”
