< Hakaraia 3 >

1 I whakakitea hoki e ia ki ahau a Hohua, te tino tohunga e tu ana i te aroaro o te anahera a Ihowa, me Hatana e tu ana i tona matau hei hoariri mona.
Pea naʻa ne fakahā kiate au ʻa Siosiua, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova; pea tuʻu ʻa hono fili ko Sētane ʻi hono potu toʻomataʻu, ko hono tukuakiʻi.
2 Na ka mea atu a Ihowa ki a Hatana, kia whakatupehupehu a Ihowa ki a koe, e Hatana; ae ra, ko Ihowa nana nei a Hiruharama i whiriwhiri, kia whakatupehupehu a Ihowa ki a koe: he teka ianei he mounga tenei kua kapohia mai i roto i te ahi?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻa Sihova kia Sētane, “ʻE Sētane ke valokiʻi koe ʻe Sihova, ʻio, ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ne fili ʻa Selūsalema, ke ne valokiʻi koe! ʻIkai ko e potupotuʻi afi eni, kuo hamusi mai mei he afi?”
3 Na he whakahouhou nga kakahu o Hohua, a i tu ia i te aroaro o te anahera.
Ka ko eni, naʻe kofuʻaki ʻa Siosiua ʻae ngaahi kofu fakalielia, ʻi heʻene tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻāngelo.
4 Na ka oho ia, ka mea ki te hunga e tu ana i tona aroaro, ka ki atu, Tangohia nga kakahu paru i a ia. Katahi ia ka mea ki a ia, Nana, kua meinga e ahau tou he kia pahemo atu i a koe, a ka whakakakahuria koe e ahau ki nga kakahu whakapaipai.
Pea naʻe lea ia kiate kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo pehē, “Vete meiate ia ʻae ngaahi kofu fakalielia;” pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo u pule ke mole atu meiate koe ʻa hoʻo ngaahi hia, pea te u totongi mo fakakofuʻaki koe ʻae kofu foʻou.”
5 Na ka mea ahau, Potaea he potae ataahua ki tona mahunga. Na potaea ana e ratou he potae ataahua ki tona mahunga, a whakakakahuria ana ia e ratou; me te tu ano te anahera a Ihowa.
Pea ne u pehē, “Tuku ke nau ʻai ki hono ʻulu ʻae pale fakasanisani; pea ko ia naʻa nau ʻai ha pale fakasanisani ki hono ʻulu, pea naʻe ʻai mo e ngaahi kofu kiate ia. Pea naʻe tuʻu ofi ai ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova.
6 Katahi te anahera a Ihowa ka kauwhau ki a Hohua, ka mea,
Pea naʻe fakapapau mai ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē,
7 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano; Ki te haere koe i aku ara, ki te puritia e koe aku mea, na mau ano e whakarite mo toku whare, mau hoki e tiaki oku marae, a ka hoatu e ahau he haereerenga mou i roto i te hunga e tu nei.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “Kapau te ke ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoku ngaahi hala, pea kapau te ke fai ki heʻeku fekau, pehē, te ke toki fakamaau foki ʻi hoku fale, pea te ke tauhi foki ʻa hoku ngaahi lotoʻā, pea te u vaheʻi ha ngaahi potu ke ke ʻeveʻeva fakataha ai mo kinautolu ʻoku tau tutuʻu ai ni.
8 Whakarongo mai aianei, e Hohua, e te tino tohunga, koutou ko ou hoa e noho na i tou aroaro; hei tohu hoki ratou, aua tangata: no te mea, nana, ka kawea mai e ahau taku pononga, te Manga.
Fanongo eni, ʻE Siosiua ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻaa koe, mo hoʻo kaunga ngāue ʻoku nofo ʻi ho ʻao: he ko e kau tangata ʻoku fai ki ai ʻae ofo; he vakai, te u fakahā ʻeau ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko e VAA.
9 Na, ko te kohatu i hoatu e ahau ki te aroaro o Hohua, e whitu nga kanohi o taua kohatu kotahi; na, maku e whaowhao ona whakairo, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, a ka whakawateatia atu e ahau te he o taua whenua i te ra kotahi.
Koeʻuhi, vakai ki he maka ʻaia kuo u ʻai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Siosiua; ʻe ʻi he maka ʻe taha ʻae mata ʻe fitu; vakai te u tongi ʻeau ʻae tongi ʻe fai ki ai, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ‘pea te u ʻave ʻae angahala ʻae fonua ko ia ʻi he ʻaho pe taha.’
10 I taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka karangatia e koutou tona hoa, tona hoa, i raro i te waina, i raro hoki i te piki.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ‘ko e ʻaho ko ia ʻe feuiʻaki ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono kaungāʻapi ʻi he lolo vaine mo e lolo fiki.’”
