Waiata 78

1 He Makiri na Ahapa. Kia anga mai te taringa, e toku iwi, ki taku ture: tahuri mai o koutou taringa ki nga kupu a toku mangai.

Ko e Saame akonaki ʻa ʻAsafi. Fakafanongo ʻa hoku kakai ki heʻeku akonaki: fakatokangaʻi homou telinga ki he ngaahi lea ʻa hoku ngutu.

2 Ka puaki te kupu whakarite i toku mangai, ka korerotia e ahau nga mea ngaro onamata:

Te u mafaʻa hoku ngutu ʻi he fakatātā: te u fakahā ʻae ngaahi lea fufū mei muʻa:

3 I rongo nei, i matau nei tatou, i korero ai hoki o tatou matua ki a tatou.

‌ʻAia kuo tau fanongo ki ai pea ʻiloʻi, pea naʻe tala ia kiate kitautolu ʻe heʻetau ngaahi tamai.

4 E kore e huna e matou i a ratou tamariki: me whakaatu ki to muri whakatupuranga nga whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa, me tona kaha, me ana mahi whakamiharo i mea ai ia.

‌ʻE ʻikai te tau fufū ia mei heʻenau fānau, ka ʻe fakahā ki he toʻutangata ʻe hoko ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo Sihova, mo hono mālohi, mo e ngaahi ngāue mana naʻa ne fai.

5 Kua pumau hoki i a ia he whakaaturanga i roto i a Hakopa, kua takoto he ture i roto i a Iharaira: a whakahaua mai ana e ia o tatou tupuna, kia whakaakona ki a ratou tamariki.

He naʻa ne fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae fono ʻia Sēkope, ʻo ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻae akonaki ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa ne fekauʻi ʻetau ngaahi tamai, koeʻuhi ke nau fakaʻilo ia ki heʻenau fānau:

6 Kia matauria ai e to muri whakatupuranga, e nga tamariki e whanau, e ara ake a mua: mo ta ratou whakaatu ki a ratou tamariki.

Koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ia ʻe he toʻutangata ʻe hoko, ʻio, ʻae fānau ʻe fanauʻi; ʻaia tenau tupu hake ʻo fakahā ia ki heʻenau fānau:

7 Kia u ai ta ratou tumanako ki te Atua, kei wareware hoki ki nga mahi a te Atua: engari kia mau ki ana whakahau.

Koeʻuhi kenau ʻamanaki lelei maʻuaipē ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻoua naʻa fakangalongaloʻi ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻae ʻOtua, ka e tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau:

8 Kei rite hoki ki o ratou tupuna, ki te whakatupuranga whakakeke, tutu, ki te whakatupuranga kihai nei i whakatikatika i to ratou ngakau, kihai hoki i u to ratou wairua ki te Atua.

Kaeʻoua naʻa tatau mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ko e toʻutangata paongataʻa mo angatuʻu; ko e toʻutangata naʻe ʻikai tenau teuteu honau loto ke lelei, pea naʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu honau laumālie ʻi he ʻOtua.

9 He hunga mau patu nga tama a Eparaima, he hunga hapai kopere, heoi tahuri ana ratou i te ra o te tatauranga.

Ko e fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi naʻe toʻo mahafutau, mo e ngaahi kaufana, naʻa nau hola ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tau.

10 Kihai i puritia e ratou te kawenata a te Atua; kihai ano i pai ki te haere i tana ture;

Naʻe ʻikai tenau fai ki he fuakava ʻae ʻOtua, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi tenau loto ke ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻene akonaki;

11 Heoi, kua wareware ki ana mahi, me ana mea whakamiharo i whakakitea e ia ki a ratou.

Pea naʻa nau fakangalongaloʻi ʻene ngaahi ngāue, mo ʻene ngaahi mana naʻa ne fakahā kiate kinautolu.

12 He mea whakamiharo ana mahi i te aroaro o o ratou tupuna, i te whenua o Ihipa, i te parae o Toana.

Naʻa ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he ngoue ʻo Soani.

13 Tapahia ana e ia te moana, a meinga ana ratou kia whiti: tu ake i a ia nga wai ano he puranga.

Naʻe vaeua ʻe ia ʻae tahi, pea ne pule kenau ʻalu atu ai; pea ne ngaohi ʻae tahi ke tuʻu fakatafungofunga pē.

14 He mea arahi ratou e ia i te awatea ki te kapua: i te roa hoki o te po ki te marama o te ahi.

Naʻa ne tataki foki ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻaki ʻae ʻao, pea ʻi he pō ʻaki ʻae maama ʻoe afi.

15 I wahia e ia nga kohatu i te koraha; a me te mea no nga rire nui tana wai hei inu ma ratou.

Naʻe fahiʻi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi makatuʻu ʻi he toafa, pea ʻange ʻae inu kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ʻoku mei he loloto lahi.

16 Puta mai ana i a ia he awa i roto i te kamaka: meinga ana nga wai kia heke, ano he waipuke.

Naʻa ne ʻomi foki kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi vaitafe mei he makatuʻu, ʻo ne pule ke tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi vaitafe lahi.

17 Heoi ka hara ano ratou ki a ia: whakatoi ana ki te Runga Rawa i te koraha.

Pea naʻa nau toe fai angahala kiate ia, ʻi heʻenau fakahouhau ki he Fungani Māʻolunga ʻi he toafa.

18 Na kei te whakamatautau to ratou ngakau i te Atua, kei te inoi kai ma to ratou hiahia.

Pea naʻa nau ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae ʻOtua ʻi honau loto, ʻi heʻenau lea ke maʻu ʻae kakano ʻi heʻenau holi kovi.

19 I korero kino ano ratou ki te Atua, i mea; E ahei ranei i te Atua te taka he tepu ki te koraha?

‌ʻIo, naʻa nau lauʻikoviʻi ʻae ʻOtua; naʻa nau pehē, “ʻE faʻa teuteu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae keinangaʻanga ʻi he toafa?

20 Nana, ko tana patunga i te kohatu, ka pakaru mai te wai, a puke ana nga awa: e taea ano ranei e ia te homai taro, e pae ranei i a ia he kikokiko ma tana iwi?

Vakai, naʻe taaʻi ʻe ia ʻae makatuʻu, pea puna mei ai ʻae ngaahi vai, pea pito ʻo fetāfeaki ʻae ngaahi vaitafe; te ne faʻa tuku mai foki ʻae mā? ʻE faʻa tokonaki ʻe ia ʻae kakano maʻa hono kakai?”

21 Na ko te rongonga o Ihowa, na ka riri: a toro ana te kapura ki a Hakopa, puta ake ana te riri ki a Iharaira;

Ko ia naʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa Sihova, pea houhau ia: ko ia naʻe tutu ai ʻae afi kia Sēkope, pea naʻe tupu hake foki ʻae tuputāmaki ki ʻIsileli;

22 Mo ratou kihai i whakapono ki te Atua, kihai ano i whakawhirinaki ki tana whakaoranga.

Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tenau tui ki he ʻOtua, pea naʻe ʻikai ha falala ki heʻene fakamoʻui:

23 Nana nei hoki i whakahau nga kapua i runga, i whakatuwhera nga tatau o te rangi.

Neongo ʻene fekauʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻao ʻi ʻolunga, mo ʻene toʻo ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe langi,

24 A whakauaina iho te mana ki runga ki a ratou hei kai; homai ana hoki e ia te witi o te rangi ma ratou.

‌ʻO ne tuku ke tō hifo ʻae mana kiate kinautolu kenau kai, pea ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae uite ʻoe langi.

25 Kai ana te tangata i ta te anahera kai: i tukua e ia he kai ma ratou, a makona noa.

Naʻe kai ʻe he tangata ʻae meʻakai ʻae kau ʻāngelo: naʻa ne tuku atu ʻae meʻakai kenau mākona ai.

26 I whakaohokia e ia te marangai i te rangi: i takina ano te tonga e tona kaha.

Naʻe pule ʻe ia ke maʻili ʻae matangi hahake ʻi he langi: pea ne ʻomi mo e matangi tonga ʻi heʻene māfimafi.

27 A whakauaina iho e ia te kikokiko ki a ratou ano he puehu; he manu whai pakau ano he one no te moana.

Naʻe fakatō hifo ʻe ia ʻae kakano kiate kinautolu ʻo tatau mo e efu, mo e fanga manu kapakau ʻo hangē ko e ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi:

28 A whakangahorotia iho e ia ki waenganui i to ratou puni: ki o ratou nohoanga a tawhio noa.

Pea naʻa ne tuku ke tō ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo honau fale fehikitaki, ʻo takatakai ʻi honau ngaahi nofoʻanga.

29 Na kai ana ratou, tino makona; i tukua hoki e ia ki a ratou ta ratou i hiahia ai:

Ko ia naʻa nau kai, pea nau mākona: he naʻa ne ʻange kiate kinautolu ʻenau holi.

30 Kihai ratou i ngaruru ki ta ratou i hiahia ai; a i roto tonu ta ratou kai i o ratou mangai,

Naʻe ʻikai te nau mavahe mei heʻenau holi kovi. Ka ʻi he kei ʻi honau ngutu ʻae maʻanga,

31 Na ka pa te riri o te Atua ki a ratou, a patua iho e ia te hunga tetere o ratou; piko ana i a ia nga taitamariki o Iharaira.

Naʻe hoko ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻae fungani kakai sino ʻiate kinautolu, pea ne tā hifo ʻae kau tangata kuo fili ʻi ʻIsileli.

32 Ahakoa pa katoa tenei, i hara ano ratou, kihai ano i whakapono ki ana mahi whakamiharo.

Naʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ka naʻa nau kei fai angahala pē, ʻo ʻikai tui ki heʻene ngaahi ngāue mana.

33 I whakapaua ai e ia o ratou ra ki te horihori, o ratou tau ki te potatutatu.

Ko ia naʻa ne fakaʻosi ai honau ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he meʻa vaʻinga pē, mo honau ngaahi taʻu ʻi he mamahi.

34 Ka patua ratou e ia, na, ka rapu ratou i a ia, a ka hoki, ka ui wawe ki te Atua.

Pea ʻi heʻene tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, naʻa nau toki kumi kiate ia: ʻonau tafoki ʻo fehuʻi fakavave ki he ʻOtua.

35 Ka mahara hoki ko te Atua to ratou kohatu, ko te Atua, ko te Runga Rawa, to ratou kaihoko.

Pea naʻa nau manatu ko honau maka ʻae ʻOtua, pea ko honau huhuʻi ʻae ʻOtua māʻolunga.

36 Otiia kei te patipati o ratou mangai ki a ia, a teka ana o ratou arero ki a ia.

Ka naʻa nau lapu kiate ia ʻi honau ngutu, ʻonau loi kiate ia ʻaki honau ʻelelo.

37 Kihai hoki to ratou ngakau i tika ki a ia; kihai ano ratou i u ki tana kawenata.

He naʻe ʻikai totonu honau loto kiate ia, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau tuʻumaʻu ʻi heʻene fuakava.

38 Ko tana ia, he aroha; hipokina ana e ia te he, kihai ano i whakangaro: ae ra, he maha ana whakahokinga iho i tona riri, a kihai i oho katoa tona riri.

Ka naʻe fonu ia ʻi he ʻaloʻofa, ʻo ne fakamolemole ʻenau hia, pea naʻe ʻikai fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu: ʻIo, naʻe liunga lahi ʻene fakaafe hono houhau, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne ueʻi hake hono houhau kotoa pē.

39 I mahara hoki ia he kikokiko nei ratou: he hau e pahure atu ana, a e kore e hoki mai.

He naʻa ne manatu ko e kakano pē ʻakinautolu; ko e matangi ʻoku mole atu, pea ʻikai toe haʻu.

40 Ano te tini o a ratou whakatoinga i a ia i te koraha, o a ratou whakapouritanga i a ia i te tahora!

Naʻe liunga fiha ʻenau fakahouhau kiate ia ʻi he toafa, pea fakamamahiʻi ia ʻi he potu lala!

41 Hoki whakamuri ana ratou, whakamatautau ana i te Atua: whakatoia ana e ratou te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.

‌ʻIo, naʻa nau foki kimui pea ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae ʻOtua, ʻonau hūhūmamaʻi ʻae tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.

42 Kihai ratou i mahara ki tona ringa, ki te ra i whakaorangia ai ratou e ia i te hoariri;

Naʻe ʻikai tenau manatu ki hono nima, pe ko e ʻaho naʻa ne fakamoʻui ai ʻakinautolu mei he fili.

43 Ki tana meatanga i ana tohu ki Ihipa, i ana merekara ki te parae o Toana;

Mo ʻene fai ʻene ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻi ʻIsipite, mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa mana ʻi he ngoue ʻo Soani:

44 I puta ke ai i a ia o ratou awa hei toto, me o ratou manga wai, te inu ai ratou.

Naʻa ne liliu honau ngaahi vaitafe ko e toto; mo honau ngaahi vai lahi, naʻe ʻikai tenau faʻa inu ai.

45 I tonoa ai e ia he huihuinga namu ki a ratou, a pau iho ratou; he poroka, i huna ai ratou.

Naʻe fekau atu ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi lango kehekehe, ʻaia naʻe keina ʻakinautolu; mo e fanga poto, ʻaia naʻe fakakoviʻi ʻakinautolu.

46 A hoatu ana e ia o ratou hua ki te moka; me to ratou mauiui ki te mawhitiwhiti.

Naʻe tuku foki ʻe ia ʻae fua ʻo ʻenau ngoue ki he ʻunufe, mo ʻenau ngāue ki he fanga heʻe.

47 Whakamatea ana e ia a ratou waina ki te whatu, a ratou rakau hikamora ki te haupapa.

Naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻenau ngaahi vaine ʻaki ʻae ʻuhamaka, mo ʻenau ʻakau ko e sukamino ʻaki ʻae momoko lahi.

48 Tukua ana e ia a ratou kararehe ma te whatu, a ratou kahui ma nga uira.

Naʻe tuku foki ʻe ia ʻenau fanga manu ki he ʻuhamaka, mo ʻenau fanga sipi ki he ngaahi faisisili vela.

49 I tukua whakareretia e ia ki a ratou tona riri, aritarita, weriweri, me te raruraru; he whakaeke na nga anahera kino.

Naʻe lī ʻe ia ʻae kakaha ʻo ʻene ʻita kiate kinautolu, ʻae houhau lahi, mo e tuputāmaki, mo e mamahi, ʻi heʻene fekau atu kiate kinautolu ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻoe kovi.

50 A whakatikaia ana e ia he ara mo tona riri; kihai i tohungia to ratou wairua kei mate: otiia tukua ana e ia to ratou ora ki te mate uruta.

Naʻa ne tofa ʻae hala ki hono houhau; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fakahaofi ʻenau moʻui mei he mate, ka naʻa ne tukuange ʻenau moʻui ki he mahaki lahi;

51 Na patua iho e ia nga matamua i Ihipa, te muanga o to ratou kaha i nga teneti o Hama.

‌ʻO ne tāʻi ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi ʻIsipite; ko e fungani mālohi ʻi he ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻo Hami.

52 Otira arahina ana e ia ana ake tangata ano he hipi; whakahaerea ana ratou e ia i te koraha ano he kahui.

Ka naʻa ne pule ke ʻalu atu ʻa hono kakai ʻoʻona ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi, ʻo ne fakahinohino ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa ʻo hangē ko e fuʻu fanga sipi.

53 Na ka arahina marietia ratou e ia, te wehi ratou: ko o ratou hoariri ia taupokina iho e te moana.

Pea naʻe tataki fiemālie atu ʻe ia ʻakinautolu, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai tenau manavahē: ka naʻe lōmekina ʻe he tahi ʻa honau ngaahi fili.

54 Na ka kawea ratou e ia ki te rohe o tona wahi tapu, ki tenei maunga, i hokona nei e tona matau.

Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe ia ʻakinautolu ʻo ofi ki hono faletapu, ʻio, ki he moʻunga ni ʻaia kuo fakatau ʻe hono nima toʻomataʻu.

55 Peia ana e ia nga tauiwi i to ratou aroaro: a wehea ana e ia he kainga mo ratou ki te aho, whakanohoia iho nga hapu o Iharaira ki o ratou teneti.

Naʻe kapusi foki ʻe ia ʻae hiteni mei honau ʻao, ʻo ne vaheʻi kiate kinautolu ʻae tofiʻa ʻaki ʻae afo, pea ne pule ke nofo ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki.

56 Heoi ka whakamatauria, ka whakatoia e ratou te Atua, te Runga Rawa; kihai hoki i mau ki ana whakaaturanga;

Ka naʻa nau kei ʻahiʻahiʻi mo fakahouhauʻi ʻae ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, ʻo ʻikai tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau:

57 A hoki whakamuri ana, mahi hianga ana, pera ana me o ratou matua: parori ke ana ratou, he pera me te kopere tinihanga.

Ka naʻa nau foki kimui, ʻo fai taʻeangatonu ʻo hangē ko ʻenau ngaahi tamai: naʻe ʻalu kehe ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e kaufana taka kehe.

58 Na ko o ratou wahi tiketike hei whakapataritari i a ia; ko o ratou whakapakoko hei mea i a ia kia hae.

Naʻa nau fakahouhau ia ʻaki honau ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻonau fakafuaʻa ia ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi tamapua kuo tā.

59 I te rongonga o te Atua, ka riri, ka tino whakarihariha hoki ki a Iharaira.

Pea ʻi he ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae meʻa ni, naʻe houhau ai ia, ʻo fehiʻa lahi ki ʻIsileli:

60 A mahue ake i a ia te tapenakara a Hiro, te teneti i whakaturia e ia ki waenganui i nga tangata;

Ko ia naʻa ne liʻaki ai ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻo Sailo, ʻae nofoʻanga ko ia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai;

61 A tukua ana e ia tona kaha hei whakarau, tona kororia ki te ringa o te hoariri.

‌ʻO ne tukuange hono mālohi ke pōpula, mo hono nāunau ki he nima ʻoe fili.

62 I tukua atu ano e ia tana iwi ma te hoari; a i riri ki tona kainga tupu.

Naʻe fakatukutukuʻi foki ʻe ia hono kakai ki he heletā; pea naʻe houhau ia ki hono tofiʻa.

63 Pau ake a ratou taitama i te ahi; kihai ano a ratou kotiro i marenatia.

Naʻe kai ke ʻosi ʻe he afi honau kau talavou; pea naʻe ʻikai mali ʻenau kau taʻahine.

64 I hinga o ratou tohunga i te hoari; kihai hoki i tangi a ratou pouaru.

Naʻe tō ʻenau kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he heletā; pea naʻe ʻikai fai ha tangi ʻe honau uaifi.

65 Na ka maranga te Ariki ano ko tetahi i te moe, me te tangata kaha e hamama ana i te waina.

Pea naʻe toki ʻā ai ʻae ʻEiki ʻo hangē ko ha taha naʻe mohe, pea hangē ko e tangata mālohi ʻoku kalanga ko e meʻa ʻi he uaine.

66 A patua iho e ia a muri o ona hoariri, meinga ana ratou e ia hei taunutanga mo ake tonu atu.

Pea naʻe taaʻi ʻe ia hono ngaahi fili ʻi honau potu kimui: naʻa ne tuku ʻakinautolu ke manukia maʻuaipē.

67 I whakakahore ano ia ki te teneti a Hohepa: a kihai i whiriwhiri i te hapu o Eparaima;

Pea naʻa ne liʻaki ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻo Siosefa, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fili ʻae faʻahinga ʻo ʻIfalemi:

68 Heoi ko te hapu o Hura tana i whiriwhiri ai, ko Maunga Hiona tana i aroha ai.

Ka naʻa ne fili ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Siuta, ko e moʻunga ko Saione ʻaia naʻa ne ʻofa ki ai.

69 A whakaturia ana e ia tona wahi tapu kia pera me nga wahi teitei; me te whenua i whakapumautia e ia mo ake tonu atu.

Pea naʻa ne langa hono faletapu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fale māʻolunga, ʻo hangē ko e fonua ʻaia kuo fokotuʻumaʻu ke taʻengata.

70 I whiriwhiria ano e ia a Rawiri, tana pononga: he mea tango nana i nga kainga hipi:

Naʻe fili foki ʻe ia ʻa Tevita ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻo ne toʻo ia mei he ngaahi lotoʻā sipi:

71 Mauria ana mai e ia i te whai i nga hipi whaereere, hei whangai i a Hakopa, i tana iwi, i a Iharaira hoki, i tona kainga tupu.

Naʻa ne ʻomi ia mei heʻene muimui ʻi he fanga sipi fefine naʻe talitali pō, ke ne fafanga ʻa Sēkope ko hono kakai, mo ʻIsileli ko hono tofiʻa.

72 A rite tonu ki te tapatahi o tona ngakau tana whangai i a ratou: he arahi mohio hoki ta tona ringa i a ratou.

Pea naʻa ne fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he angatonu ʻo hono loto; ʻo ne tataki ʻakinautolu ʻi he poto ʻo hono nima.
