ʻIsikieli 16

1 Naʻe toe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,

2 “Foha ʻoe tangata, fakaʻilo ki Selūsalema ʻa ʻene ngaahi fakalielia,

E te tama a te tangata, meinga a Hiruharama kia mohio ki ana mea whakarihariha,

3 Pea ke lea, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki Selūsalema; naʻe fanauʻi pea fāʻeleʻi koe ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani; ko hoʻo tamai ko e [tangata ]ʻAmoli, pea ko hoʻo faʻē ko e [fefine ]Heti.

Mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, ki Hiruharama: Ko tou take, ko tou wahi i whanau ai koe, ko te whenua o te Kanaani: ko te Amori tou papa, a ko tou whaea he Hiti.

4 Pea koeʻuhi ko ho fāʻeleʻi, ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fanauʻi ai koe naʻe ʻikai tā ho uho, pea naʻe ʻikai kaukau koe ʻi ha vai, ke fakamolū koe; naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻaki koe ha māsima, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito fakakofu koe.

Na, ko tou whanautanga, i te ra i whanau ai koe, kihai tou uho i tapahia, kihai ano koe i horoia ki te wai kia ma ai; kihai rawa ano koe i meatia ki te tote, kihai rawa i takaia.

5 Naʻe ʻikai ha mata ke ʻofa kiate koe ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate koe pe manavaʻofa kiate koe; ka naʻe lī atu koe ki he vao ʻataʻatā, ke fakalielia ho sino ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fāʻeleʻi ai koe.

Kihai tetahi kanohi i aroha ki a koe, kihai i meatia ki a koe tetahi o enei mea, he mahi tohu ki a koe; heoi he mea maka atu koe ki te mata o te parae, he mea whakarihariha hoki tou tinana i te ra i whanau ai koe.

6 “Pea ʻi heʻeku ʻalu atu kiate koe pea u mamata naʻa ke fakalielia ʻi ho toto pe ʻoʻou, ne u pehē kiate koe, lolotonga hoʻo kei pani toto, Ke ke moʻui; ʻio, naʻa ke kei ʻi ho toto ʻoʻou, naʻaku pehē ai kiate koe, Ke ke moʻui.

Na, i toku haerenga atu ma tou taha, a ka kite ahau i a koe e oke ana i roto i ou toto, ka mea atu ahau ki a koe, Ahakoa kei roto koe i ou toto, e ora; ae ra, i mea atu ahau ki a koe, Ahakoa kei roto koe i ou toto, e ora.

7 Kuo u ngaohi koe ke ke tupu ʻo hangē ko e fisi ʻoe ngoue, pea kuo ke tupu pea hoko ko e lahi, pea kuo ke maʻu ʻae teunga ki he teunga; kuo hunuki ho huhu, pea kuo tupu ho fulufulu, ka naʻa ke telefua mo masiva.

I meinga ano koe e ahau kia tini, kia rite ki nga tupu o te mara; heoi kua tokomaha koe, kua nui, kua tae ano koe ki nga whakapaipai ataahua; kua pupuku ou u kua tupu ou makawe; i mua hoki e noho tahanga ana koe, kahore he kakahu.

8 Pea ko eni, ʻi heʻeku ʻalu atu kiate koe, vakai, ko e lolotonga ia ʻa hoʻo ʻofa; pea naʻaku folahi atu kiate koe ʻa hoku kofu mo fakakofuʻaki ʻa hoʻo telefua; ʻio, naʻaku fuakava kiate koe, pea naʻa ta fefuakavaʻaki mo koe,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “pea naʻaku maʻu koe maʻaku.”

Na, i toku haerenga atu i tou taha, ka kite ahau i a koe, na he wa no te aroha te wa i a koe; na hipokina iho e ahau te remu o toku ki runga ki a koe, uhia ana koe e ahau, i a koe e noho tahanga ana; ae ra, oati ana ahau ki a koe, uru ana taua ki te kawenata, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, a riro mai ana koe i ahau.

9 “Pea u toki kaukau koe ʻaki ʻae vai, ne u fufulu koe ke maʻa ʻaupito mei he toto, pea naʻaku tākai koe ʻaki ʻae lolo.

Katahi ka horoia koe e ahau ki te wai; ae ra, ata horoia atu ana e ahau ou toto i a koe; a pania ana koe e ahau ki te hinu.

10 Naʻaku fakakofuʻaki koe ʻae tuitui fakasanisani, pea u fakatopuvaʻe ʻaki koe ʻae kiliʻi pasa; pea u fakavala ʻaki koe ʻae tupenu lelei, pea naʻaku ʻufiʻufi koe ʻaki ʻae silika.

Ko taku kakahu mou he mea whakairo; ko aku hu mou he hiako kekeno; ko taku whitiki mou he rinena pai; hipokina ana koe e ahau ki te hiraka.

11 Naʻaku ʻai foki kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa teunga, pea naʻaku ʻai ʻae vesa ki ho nima, mo e kahoa ki ho kia.

He mea whakapaipai ano koe naku ki te whakapaipai, whakanohoia ana e ahau he poroporo ki ou ringa, he hei ki tou kaki.

12 Pea naʻaku ʻai ʻae maka mahuʻinga ʻi ho foʻi laʻē, mo e mama ʻi ho telinga, mo e pale lelei ki ho ʻulu.

I kuhua ano e ahau he mowhiti ki tou ihu, he whakakai ki ou taringa, he karauna ataahua ki tou mahunga.

13 Naʻe pehē ʻae teuteu ʻaki koe ʻae koula mo e siliva; naʻe kofuʻaki koe ʻae tupenu lelei mo e silika, mo e tuitui fakasanisani; naʻa ke kai ʻi he mahoaʻa lelei mo e honi, mo e lolo: pea naʻa ke hoihoifua ʻaupito pea naʻa ke tupu lelei ʻo hoko ko e puleʻanga.

Heoi kua oti koe te whakapaipai ki te koura, ki te hiriwa; he rinena pai ano hoki tou kakahu, he hiraka, he mea whakairo hoki; i kai koe i te paraoa pai, i te honi, i te hinu; nui atu tou ataahua, kake ana koe hei kingitanga.

14 Naʻe mafola atu ho ongoongolelei ki he hiteni ko e meʻa ʻi ho hoihoifua, he naʻe haohaoa ia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku lelei ʻaia naʻaku ʻai ʻeau kiate koe,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

Paku ana tou ingoa ki nga iwi, he ataahua nou; i tino pai rawa hoki, he honore hoki noku i tukua atu e ahau ki a koe, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

15 “Ka naʻa ke falala koe ki ho hoihoifua, pea naʻa ke fai feʻauaki, ko e meʻa ʻi ho ongoongo, naʻa ke fai hoʻo feʻauaki kiate ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu ange; naʻe ʻaʻana pe ia.

Otiia whakawhirinaki ana koe ki tou ataahua, kairau ana koe, he whakaaro hoki nou ki tou ingoa, ringihia ana e koe ou kairautanga ki te tangata e haere atu ana i tou taha; i a ia tena.

16 Pea naʻa ke toʻo ho ngaahi kofu pea ne ke teuteu ʻaki ia ho ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻi he meʻa pule kehekehe, pea naʻa ke fai feʻauaki ʻi ai: pea ʻe ʻikai toe hoko ha meʻa pehē; ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito pehē.

I tikina atu ano e koe etahi o ou kakahu, a mahia ana e koe au wahi tiketike, kotingotingo rawa, hei kairautanga mou: e kore he pena e puta a mua, e kore ano e pena.

17 Pea kuo ke toʻo ʻae ngaahi teunga lelei ʻo ʻeku koula mo ʻeku siliva, ʻaia naʻaku foaki kiate koe, mo ke ngaohi kiate koe ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ʻoe tangata, pea kuo ke fai angahala mo ia.

I tikina ano e koe au mea whakapaipai, he koura naku, he hiriwa naku, ko aku i hoatu ra ki a koe, a hanga ana e koe etahi whakapakoko tane mau, hei kairautanga mou.

18 Kuo ke fakakofuʻaki ʻakinautolu ho ngaahi kofu fakasanisani: pea kuo ke tuku ʻi honau ʻao ʻa ʻeku lolo mo e meʻa namu kakala ʻaʻaku.

I tikina ano e koe ou kakahu whakairo, hei hipoki mo ratou, hoatu ana e koe taku hinu, me taku whakakakara ki to ratou aroaro.

19 Ko ʻeku meʻakai foki, ʻaia naʻaku foaki kiate koe, ʻae mahoaʻa lelei, mo e lolo mo e honi, naʻaku fafanga ʻaki koe, naʻa mo ia kuo ke tuku ʻi honau ʻao, ko e meʻa namu kakala.” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, naʻe pehē ʻa hono fai.

Ko taku kai hoki, i hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ko te paraoa pai, ko te hinu, ko te honi i whangaia ai koe e ahau, hoatu ana ano tera e koe ki to ratou aroaro hei kakara reka, a koia ano tera; e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

20 “Kuo ke toʻo foki hoʻo ngaahi tama mo hoʻo ngaahi taʻahine ʻaia kuo ke fanauʻi kiate au, pea kuo ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻakinautolu ke nau ʻauha. Ko e meʻa siʻi koā eni, ʻa hoʻo feʻauaki?

I tikina ano e koe au tama me au tamahine, a taua whanau, patua iho e koe hei kai ma ratou. He iti ianei ou kairautanga,

21 Kaeʻumaʻā ʻa hoʻo tāmateʻi ʻeku fānau, mo ke tuku ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu atu [ʻi he afi ]maʻanautolu?

I patua ai e koe aku tamariki, i tukua atu ai ratou, i meatia ratou kia haere na roto i te ahi ki a ratou?

22 Pea ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia kotoa pē mo hoʻo feʻauaki kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai te ke manatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo kei siʻi, ʻaia naʻa ke telefua mo masiva ai, pea ke fakalielia ʻi ho toto pe ʻoʻou.”

Na i au mea whakarihariha katoa, i ou kairautanga, kihai koe i mahara ki nga ra o tou tamahinetanga, i a koe e noho tahanga ana, kahore he kakahu, i a koe i oke ra i roto i ou toto.

23 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻi heʻene hili kotoa pē ʻa hoʻo fai kovi, (Malaʻia, malaʻia kiate koe! ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; )

Na i muri i tou he katoa; aue, te mate mou, aue, te mate mou! e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa,

24 Kuo ke langa moʻou ʻae fale feʻauaki mo ke ngaohi kiate koe ʻae potu māʻolunga ʻi he hala kotoa pē.

Kei te hanga koe i te whare tairanga mou, mahia ana e koe he wahi tiketike mou i nga waharoa katoa.

25 Kuo ke langa ho fale feʻauaki ʻi he tefito hala kotoa pē pea kuo ke ngaohi ho hoihoifua ko e fehiʻanekina, mo ke fakaava ho vaʻe kiate ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu ange mo ke fakalahi pe ki hoʻo feʻauaki.

Kua hanga ano e koe tau wahi tiketike ki nga ahunga katoa o nga ara, meinga ana e koe tou ataahua kia whakariharihangia, whewhera tonu ou waewae ki nga tangata e haere ana i tou taha, whakamaha ana e koe tou kairautanga.

26 Kuo ke fai angahala foki mo ho kaunga nofoʻanga, ko e kakai ʻIsipite ʻoku sino lalahi: pea kuo ke fakalahi ki hoʻo feʻauaki, ko e fakatupu ʻita kiate au.

Kua kairau ano koe ki nga Ihipiana, ki ou hoa tata, he hunga kikokiko nui; whakamaha ana e koe tou kairautanga, hei whakapataritari i ahau.

27 Ko ia, vakai, kuo u mafao atu hoku nima kiate koe, pea u fakasiʻisiʻi hoʻo meʻakai, mo tukuange koe ki he faʻiteliha ʻanautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe, ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kau Filisitia, he ʻoku nau mā ʻi hoʻo faianga fakalielia.

Na reira, nana, kua totoro atu toku ringa ki runga ki a koe, kua whakaititia ano e ahau nga kai i rite mau, a hoatu ana koe e ahau ki ta ou hoariri i pai ai, ki nga tamahine a nga Pirihitini, e whakama nei ki tou ara puremu.

28 Kuo ke fai angahala foki mo e kakai ʻAsilia, he naʻe ʻikai te ke faʻa fiu; ʻio, kuo ke fai angahala mo kinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te ke topono ai.

I kairau ano koe ki nga Ahiriana, he kore hoki nou e ngata; ina, kairau ana koe ki a ratou, otiia kihai koe i ngata.

29 Kuo ke fakalahi foki ʻa hoʻo feʻauaki ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani ʻo aʻu ki Kalitia; ka naʻa mo ia naʻe ʻikai te ke fiu ai.”

Kua whakamaha ano e koe ou kairautanga ki te whenua o Kanaana a Karari atu ana; heoi kihai ano i ngata i tenei.

30 “ʻOiauē! ʻAe vaivai ho loto,” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “He kuo ke fai eni kotoa pē, ko e ngāue ʻae fefine faʻa feʻauaki mo fakamofutofuta;

Ano te ngoikore o tou ngakau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, i tau mahinga i enei mea katoa, he mahi na te wahine kairau, na te mea taikaha;

31 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo langa ha fale feʻauaki ʻi he tefito hala kotoa pē, pea ngaohi ho potu māʻolunga ʻi he hala kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke tatau mo e fefine feʻauaki ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fehiʻa ki he totongi;

I tau hanganga i tou whare tairanga ki te ahunga mai o nga ara katoa, i tau mahinga i tau wahi tiketike ki nga waharoa katoa; kihai tau i rite ki ta te wahine kairau, e whakahawea ana hoki koe ki te utu;

32 Kae hangē ko e uaifi ʻoku tono tangata ʻoku maʻu ʻae kakai kehe ko e fetongi ʻa hono husepāniti!

He wahine moe hoa, i puremu! e tuku mai ana i nga tangata ke ehara nei i te hoa nona!

33 ‌ʻOku foaki totongi ki he kau fefine feʻauaki kotoa pē; ka ko koe kuo ke foaki meʻaʻofa ki ho kau mamana kotoa pē, pea ke totongi kiate kinautolu, ke nau haʻu kiate koe mei he potu kotoa pē ki hoʻo feʻauaki.

E hoatu ana e ratou he mea ki nga wahine kairau katoa: ko koe ia e hoatu ana i ou taonga ki te hunga katoa e hiahia ana ki a koe, a utua ana ratou e koe, he mea kia haere mai ai ratou ki a koe i nga taha katoa ki ou kairautanga.

34 Pea ʻoku ke fai kehe koe ʻi hoʻo fai angahala mo e fefine kehe, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai muimui ha niʻihi kiate koe ke fai ʻae angahala; pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fai ʻe koe ʻae totongi, ka ʻoku ʻikai ha totongi ʻe fai kiate koe, ko ia ʻoku ke kehe ai.”

He rere ke hoki tau i ta etahi wahine i ou kairautanga, ina kahore tetahi e aru ana i a koe, kairau ai: i te mea hoki ka hoatu e koe he utu, a kahore he utu e homai ki a koe, na ka rere ke tau.

35 Ko ia, ʻe fefine feʻauaki, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.

Mo reira whakarongo, e te wahine kairau, ki te kupu a Ihowa.

36 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Koeʻuhi naʻe lilingi atu hoʻo fakalielia, pea fakahā hoʻo telefua, ʻi hoʻo fai angahala mo ho kau mamana, mo e ngaahi tamapua ʻo hoʻo fakalielia, pea mo e toto ʻo hoʻo fānau ʻaia naʻa ke tuku kiate kinautolu:

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa. Na kua ringihia atu na tou weriweri, kua kitea ano koe e noho tahanga ana i ou kairautanga ki te hunga i hiahia ki a koe; a he mea ki au whakapakoko whakarihariha katoa, ki te toto hoki o au tamariki i hoatu na e koe ki a ratou;

37 Vakai, ko ia foki te u tānaki ai ho kau mamana kotoa pē, ʻakinautolu kuo ke fakafiefia ai koe, mo kinautolu kotoa pē kuo ke ʻofa ki ai, fakataha mo kinautolu kotoa pē kuo ke fehiʻa ki ai; ʻio, te u tānaki fakataha ʻakinautolu kiate koe, pea te u fakahā hoʻo telefua kiate kinautolu koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki hoʻo telefua kotoa pē.

Mo reira ka huihuia katoatia e ahau te hunga katoa i hiahia ki a koe, au i ahuareka ai, ratou ko te hunga katoa i aroha ai koe, ko te hunga katoa hoki i kino ai koe; ina, ka huihuia ratou e ahau ki a koe i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha ka whakakite a ano koe e ahau ki a ratou e noho tahanga ana, kia kite ai ratou i ou wahi katoa e takoto kau ana.

38 Pea te u fakamaauʻi koe, ʻo tatau mo e fakamaau ki he kau fefine ʻoku maumau ʻae fakamaʻu mali mo lilingi ʻae toto: pea te u fakainu ʻaki koe ʻae toto ʻi heʻeku houhau mo ʻeku fuaʻa.

Na ko taku whakawa i a koe ka rite ki te whakawa o nga wahine kua takahi i te ture marena, o nga wahine kua whakaheke toto; a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe te toto o te weriweri, o te hae.

39 Pea te u tukuange koe foki ki honau nima, pea te nau holoki hifo ho fale ongoongo, ʻo maumauʻi ki lalo ho ngaahi potu māʻolunga: pea te nau haehae foki meiate koe ho ngaahi kofu, mo nau ʻave hoʻo ngaahi meʻa teunga, pea te nau fakatelefuaʻi mo fakamasivaʻi koe.

Ka tukua ano koe e ahau ki to ratou ringa, a ka whakahoroa e ratou tou whare tairanga, ka wahia au wahi tiketike; ka huia atu ano ou kakahu, ka tangohia au mea whakapaipai, a ka waiho koe kia noho tahanga ana, kahore he kakahu.

40 Pea te nau ʻomi mo e niʻihi kiate koe, pea te nau lisingi koe ʻaki ʻae maka, pea tui ʻaki koe ʻenau heletā ke ʻasi.

Ka kawea mai ano e ratou he ropu hei whawhai ki a koe, a ka akina koe ki te kohatu, ka werohia ki a ratou hoari, puta rawa.

41 Pea te nau tuungia ho ngaahi fale, mo nau fai ʻae tautea kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau fefine tokolahi: te u ngaohi koe ke ke tuku hoʻo feʻauaki, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ke toe fai ha totongi.

Ka tahuna ano e ratou ou whare ki te ahi, ka mahia ano he whakaritenga ki a koe i te tirohanga a nga wahine tokomaha; a ka meinga e ahau kia mutu ou kairautanga, e kore ano he utu e hoatu e koe a muri ake nei.

42 Ko ia ia ʻe lolou ai ʻa hoku houhau kiate koe, pea ʻe hiki hoku fuaʻa meiate koe, pea te u fiemālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻita.

Heoi ka ngata i kona toku riri ki a koe, ka tahuri atu toku hae i a koe, a ka ata noho ahau, e kore ano e riri ki a koe a muri ake nei.

43 Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te ke manatuʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo kei siʻi, ka kuo ke fakamataliliʻi au ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē, ko ia, vakai, te u fakahoko ki ho tumuʻaki hono nunuʻa ʻo hoʻo faianga, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: pea ʻe ʻikai te ke fakalahi ʻaki hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia kotoa pē ʻa hoʻo fai ʻae fakalielia ko eni.”

No te mea kihai koe i mahara ki nga ra o tou taitamahinetanga, heoi whakaporeareatia ana ahau e koe ki enei mea katoa; mo reira tenei ahau te hoatu nei i tou tikanga ki runga ki tou mahunga, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa; e kore ano tenei weriweri e honoa iho e koe ki au mea whakarihariha katoa.

44 “Vakai, ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku faʻa lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā te nau lea fakatātā kiate koe ʻo pehē, ‘ʻO hangē ko e faʻē, ʻoku pehē pe ʻene taʻahine.’

Nana, ko te hunga katoa e korero ana i nga whakatauki, ko ta ratou whakatauki tenei mou, e mea nei, kei te whaea tonu te rite o tana tamahine.

45 Ko e taʻahine koe ʻa hoʻo faʻē, ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki hono husepāniti mo ʻene fānau; pea ko e tehina koe ʻo ho ngaahi tokoua, ʻakinautolu naʻe fehiʻa ki honau husepāniti mo ʻenau fānau: ko hoʻo faʻē ko e [fefine ]Heti, pea ko hoʻo tamai ko e [tangata ]ʻAmoli ia.

Ko koe te tamahine a tou whaea, e anuanu ra ki tana tahu, ki ana tamariki hoki; a ko koe te teina o ou tuakana, i whakarihariha nei ki a raua tahu, ki a raua tamariki hoki: he Hiti to koutou whaea, he Amori to koutou papa.

46 Pea ko ho taʻokete ko Samēlia ia, ʻaia mo ʻene fānau fefine, ʻoku nofo ʻi ho nima toʻohema: pea ko ho tehina, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu, ko Sotoma ia mo ʻene fānau fefine.

Na ko Hamaria tou tuakana, e noho nei i tou taha maui, ratou ko ana tamahine: a, ko tou teina, e noho na i tou taha matau, ko Horoma ratou ko ana tamahine.

47 Ka naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻeveʻeva koe ʻi honau hala, pe fai ʻo hangē ko ʻenau ngaahi fakalielia: kae hangē naʻe siʻi ʻaupito haʻanautolu, ka kuo ke fai fakalielia lahi hake ʻaupito koe ʻiate kinautolu, ʻi hoʻo anga kotoa pē.”

Heoi kihai koe i haere i runga i o raua ara, kihai ano tau mahi i rite ki a raua mea whakarihariha; engari, me te mea nei he mea iti rawa tera, neke noa atu tou tutua i to ratou i ou ara katoa.

48 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻO hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe ho tehina ko Sotoma, ʻa ia, pe ko ʻene fānau fefine, ʻo tatau mo ia kuo ke fai ʻe koe, ʻa koe, mo hoʻo kau taʻahine.

E ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, kihai te mahi a tou teina, a Horoma, ratou ko ana tamahine i rite ki tau mahi, ki tau, ki ta au tamahine.

49 Vakai, ko e fai hala eni ʻa ho tehina ko Sotoma, ko e fielahi, mo e fangapesi, mo e fakapikopiko lahi, naʻe ʻiate ia mo ʻene fānau fefine, pea naʻe ʻikai tokoni ʻe ia ki he nima ʻoe masiva mo e paea.

Nana, ko te he tenei o tou teina, o Horoma; he whakapehapeha i roto i a ia, i a ratou ko ana tamahine, he takapu ki i te taro, he ngakau warea i te nui taonga; kihai hoki ia i whakau ake i nga ringa o te ware, o te rawakore.

50 Pea naʻa nau fielahi, mo nau fai fakalielia ʻi hoku ʻao; ko ia naʻaku faʻiteliha pe au ʻo ʻave ai ʻakinautolu.

A i whakakake ratou, i mahi hoki i te mea whakarihariha ki toku aroaro: no reira i unuhia atu ai ratou e ahau, kei taku i kite ai he pai.

51 Pea naʻa mo Samēlia, ʻoku ʻikai te ne fai hala ʻe ia ke tatau mo e vaeua haʻau; he kuo ke fakatupu hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia ke lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu, pea kuo tonuhia ange ʻiate koe, ʻa ho ngaahi tokoua, ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia, ʻaia kuo ke fai ʻe koe.

Kihai hoki o Hamaria i rite ki te hawhe o ou hara; engari i whakanuia atu e koe au mea whakarihariha i a ratou, ka ai hoki au mea whakarihariha katoa i mahia e koe hei whakatika mo ta tou tuakana, mo ta tou teina.

52 ‌ʻA koe foki, kuo ke fakaanga ki ho ngaahi tokoua, fua pe ʻe koe, ʻa hoʻo mā ʻaʻau, ʻi hoʻo ngaahi angahala kuo ke fai fakalielia lahi ai ʻiate kinautolu: ʻoku nau māʻoniʻoni hake ʻiate koe: ʻio, ke ke puputuʻu koe, pea ke fua hoʻo mā, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fakatonuhiaʻi ho ngaahi tokoua.

Na ko koe, whakawaha e koe tou na whakama, nau na i whakatika tou teina, tou tuakana; na ou hara i hara ai koe, he nui atu nei te whakarihariha i o raua, ka nui atu to raua tika i tou: ae ra, kia numinumi hoki koe, kia waha i tou whakama, kua wh akatikaia na hoki e koe ta tou teina, ta tou tuakana.

53 ‌ʻO kau ka toe ʻomi mei he pōpula, ʻae kau pōpula ʻo Sotoma mo ʻene fānau fefine, mo e pōpula ʻo Samēlia mo ʻene fānau fefine ʻaʻana, te u toki ʻomi ʻae pōpula ʻi hoʻo kau pōpula ki honau lotolotonga:

Na ka whakahokia raua e ahau i te whakarau, a Horoma, me ana tamahine i te whakarau, a Hamaria me ana tamahine i te whakarau, ko ou whakarau i te whakarau, i roto i a ratou:

54 Koeʻuhi ke ke fua ʻe koe pe ʻa hoʻo mā, pea ke puputuʻu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo ke fai, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu.

Kia mau ai ki a koe tou whakama, kia numinumi kau ai mo nga mea katoa i mea ai koe, i a koe ka waiho na hei whakamanawatanga mo ratou.

55 ‌ʻOka toe liliu mai ʻa Sotoma mo ʻene fānau fefine ki heʻenau nofo muʻa, pea liliu ʻa Samēlia mo ʻene fānau fefine ki heʻenau muʻaki nofo, ʻe toki liliu ai koe mo hoʻo fānau fefine ki hoʻomou nofo muʻa ʻamoutolu.

Ka hoki tou teina, a Horoma ratou ko ana tamahine, ki to ratou tu o mua, a ka hoki a Hamaria ratou ko ana tamahine ki to ratou tu o mua, ka hoki ano koutou ko au tamahine ki to koutou tu o mua.

56 He naʻe ʻikai te ke meimei lea ʻaki mei ho ngutu, ʻa ho taʻokete ko Samēlia, ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hoʻo fielahi,

Kihai na hoki tou teina, a Horoma, i rangona i roto i tou mangai i te ra i tou whakakake,

57 ‌ʻI he teʻeki ai fakahā hoʻo angakovi, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻe manukiʻi ai koe ʻe he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Silia mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo vāofi mo ia, ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kau Filisitia, ʻaia ʻoku manuki fano pe kiate koe.

I te mea kiano tou he i hurahia, i te wa iara o te tawainga a nga tamahine a Hiria, a te hunga katoa i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha, a nga tamahine a nga Pirihitini e whakahawea na ki a koe i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.

58 Kuo ke fua hoʻo holi kovi mo hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

Kua mau ki a koe tou he, me au mea whakarihariha, e ai ta Ihowa.

59 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Te u fai kiate koe ʻo hangē ko ia kuo ke fai, ʻa koe, kuo ke manuki ki heʻeta tuki, mo ke maumauʻi ʻae fuakava.

Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Ko taku mahi ki a koe ka rite ki tau mahi; kua whakahawea na hoki koe ki te oati, whakataka ana e koe te kawenata.

60 Ka neongo ia te u manatu ʻeau, ʻa ʻeku fuakava mo koe ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hoʻo kei siʻi, pea te u fokotuʻu kiate koe ha fuakava ʻe ʻikai ngata.

Otiia ka mahara ano ahau ki taku kawenata ki a koe i nga ra o tou taitamahinetanga, ka pumau ano i ahau he kawenata ki a koe a ake ake.

61 Pea te ke toki manatu ki hoʻo faianga kotoa pē, pea te ke mā, ʻoka ke ka maʻu ho ngaahi tokoua, ʻa ho taʻokete mo ho ngaahi tehina: pea te u foaki ʻakinautolu kiate koe, ke ke ʻofefine aki, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻi hoʻo fuakava ʻaʻau.

Hei reira ka mahara koe ki ou ara, ka whakama, ina riro i a koe ou tuakana, tou teina; a ka hoatu raua e ahau ki a koe hei tamahine, otiia ehara i te mea na tau kawenata.

62 Pea te u fokotuʻu ʻa ʻeku fuakava mo koe, pea te ke ʻilo ko Sihova au.

Ka pumau ano i ahau taku kawenata ki a koe, a ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau;

63 Koeʻuhi ke ke manatu ai, mo ke puputuʻu, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ke toe mafaʻa ho ngutu koeʻuhi ko hoʻo mā, ʻo kau ka toe fiemālie kiate koe ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo ke fai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua.

Kia mahara ai, kia numinumi kau ai koe, kia kaua ai hoki e puaki tou mangai i muri iho, mo tou whakama hoki; ina marie ahau ki a koe, ki nga mea katoa i mea ai koe, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
