Selemaia 23
1 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE malaʻia ʻae kau tauhi ʻaia ʻoku fakaʻauha mo fakamovetevete ʻae fanga sipi ʻo ʻeku ngoue!
A UWE ka poe kahu i luku, a hoopuehu i ka poe hipa o ko'u kihapai! wahi a Iehova.
2 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ki he kau tauhi ʻoku fafanga ʻa hoku kakai; “Kuo mou fakamovetevete ʻeku fanga sipi, ʻo kapusi ʻakinautolu, pea kuo ʻikai ʻaʻahi ʻakinautolu: vakai, te u tautea ʻakimoutolu koeʻuhi ko e kovi ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi faianga, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
Nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, no na kahu, ka poe hanai i ko'u poe kanaka; Ua hoopuehu oukou i ka'u poe hipa, a ua kipaku ia lakou, aole i hele mai e ike ia lakou; aia hoi, e hoopai no wau maluna o oukou, i ka hewa o ka oukou hana ana, wahi a Iehova.
3 Pea te u tānaki hono toe ʻo ʻeku fanga sipi mei he ngaahi potu kotoa pē kuo u kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai, pea te u toe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki honau lotoʻā; pea te nau fānau mo fakatupu.
A e hoiliili no wau i ke koena o ka'u poe hipa, mai na aina a pau mai, kahi a'u i hookuke aku ai ia lakou, a e hoihoi hou mai au ia lakou iloko o ko lakou mau pa: a e kawowo lakou, a mahuahua aku.
4 Pea te u fakanofo kiate kinautolu ʻae kau tauhi ʻaia ʻe fafanga ʻakinautolu: pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe manavahē, pe vaivai, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau masiva, he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
A e hoonoho wau i kahu maluna o'lakou, he poe hanai aku ia lakou; aole lakou e makau hou, aole e weliweli, aole hoi lakou e hoopai hou ia, wahi a Iehova.
5 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia te u fakatupu ai kia Tevita ʻae vaʻa angatonu, pea ʻe pule mo monūʻia ha tuʻi, pea ʻe fai ʻae fakamaau mo e angatonu ʻi he fonua.
Aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, o hoala no wau no Davida, i Oha pono, i Alii e noho aupuni, a e pomaikai auanei, a e hana no oia i ka hooponopono, a i ka pololei ma ka honua.
6 ʻE fakamoʻui ʻa Siuta, pea ʻe nofo fiemālie ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho ko ia: pea ko hono huafa eni ʻe ui ai ia, KO SIHOVA KO HOTAU MĀʻONIʻONI.
I kona mau la e hoolaia o ka Iuda, a e noho maluhia o ka Iseraela, a eia hoi kona inoa e kapaia mai ai, O IEHOVA KO KAKOU PONO.
7 “Ko ia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai te nau toe pehē ai, ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, aole lakou e olelo hou mai, Ke ola la no o Iehova, ka mea nana i lawe mai ka poe mamo a Iseraela, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai;
8 Ka, ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi mo tataki mai ʻae hako ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli mei he fonua ʻi he tokelau, pea mei he potu kotoa pē naʻaku kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai; pea te nau nofo ʻi honau fonua ʻonautolu.”
Aka, Ke ola la no o Iehova, ka mea nana i lawe mai, alakai hoi i na hua o ka hale o ka Iseraela, mai ka aina o ko kukulu akau mai, a mai na aina a pau mai, kahi a'u i kipaku aku ai ia lakou; a e noho no lakou ma ko lakou aina iho.
9 Kuo mafōfoa hoku loto ʻiate au, koeʻuhi ko e kau palōfita: ʻoku tetetete hoku ngaahi hui; ʻoku ou hangē ko e tangata konā, pea hangē ko e tangata kuo ikuna ʻe he uaine, koeʻuhi ko Sihova, mo ʻene ngaahi folofola māʻoniʻoni.
Ua nahae ko'u naau iloko o'u no na kaula, haalulu no hoi ko'u mau iwi a pau. Ua like no au me ke kanaka i ona, a like hoi me ke kanaka i lanakilaia e ka waina, no Iehova, a no na huaolelo o kona Hemolele.
10 He kuo fonu ʻae fonua ʻi he kau feʻauaki; pea ʻoku mamahi ʻae fonua koeʻuhi ko e kapekape; kuo mōmoa ʻae ngaahi potu ngoue ʻi he toafa, ʻoku kovi honau hala, pea ʻoku taʻetotonu ʻenau fakamālohi.
No ka mea, ua piha ka aina i ka poe moekolohe; no ka mea, ke kumakena nei ka aina, no ka hoohiki ino aua: ua maloo hoi na wahi maikai o ka waonahele; ua hewa ko lakou holo ana, aole hoi i pono ko lakou ikaika.
11 “He ʻoku halaia ʻae palōfita mo e taulaʻeiki fakatouʻosi; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻenau kovi ʻi hoku fale.
No ka mea, ua aia no ke kaula, a me ke kahuna, oia, ua loaa no ia'u ko lakou hewa maloko o ko'u hale, wahi a Iehova.
12 Ko ia ʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻa honau hala ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi hala kehekehe mo fakapoʻuli: pea ʻe tekeʻi atu ʻakinautolu, pea te nau hinga ai: he te u ʻomi ʻae kovi kiate kinautolu, ʻio, ko e taʻu ʻa honau tautea, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova:
Nolaila, e like auanei ko lakou aoao ia lakou, me kahi pahee maloko o ka pouli; e kipakuia'ku la no lakou, a e haule iloko olaila; no ka mea, e lawe no wau i ka hewa maluna o lakou, i ka makahiki hoi o ko lakou hoopaiia, wahi a Iehova.
13 Pea kuo u mamata ki he vale ʻi he kau palōfita ʻo Samēlia; he kuo nau kikite ia Peali, pea nau fakahalaia ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli.
Ua ike no au i ka lapuwale maloko o na kaula o Samaria, a wanana ae lakou ma o Baala la, a alakai hewa iho la i ko'u poe kanaka, i ka Iseraela.
14 Pea ʻi he kau palōfita ʻo Selūsalema, kuo u mamata foki ki he meʻa fakailifia: kuo nau fai feʻauaki, pea ʻaʻeva ʻi he ngaahi loi: kuo nau tokoni foki ʻae nima ʻoe kau fai kovi, pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai tafoki ai ha taha mei heʻene angahala: kuo nau hoko kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko Sotoma kiate au, pea mo hono kakai ʻo hangē ko Komola.
Ua ike no hoi au i ka mea inoino loa iloko o na kaula o Ierusalema; moe kolohe no lakou, a hele ma ka wahahee. Hooikaika no hoi lakou i na lima o ka poe hana hewa, i hoi ole mai kekahi, mai kona hewa mai. Ua like no lakou a pau ia'u me ko Sodoma, a o ka poe hoi e noho ana malaila, ua like no me ko Gomora.
15 “Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau koeʻuhi ko e kau palōfita: Vakai, te u fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae ʻakau kona, pea te u foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae huhuʻa ʻoe ʻahu ke nau inu: he kuo ʻalu atu ʻae kākā ki he fonua kotoa pē, mei he kau palōfita ʻo Selūsalema.”
Nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, no na kaula; Aia hoi, e hanai aku au ia lakou i ka laau awaawa, a e hoohainu aku au ia lakou i ka wai o ke au; no ka mea, mai na kaula o Ierusalema aku i hele aku ai ka aia, a i ka aina a pau.
16 ʻOku pehē ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “ʻOua naʻa fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ʻae kau palōfita, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kikite kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku nau fielahiʻi ʻakimoutolu: ʻoku nau lea ʻaki ʻae meʻa ʻi honau loto, ka ʻoku ʻikai mei he fofonga ʻo Sihova.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, Mai hoolohe oukou i na olelo a na kaula, ka poe wanana mai ia oukou. Hoolilo no lakou ia oukou i mea lapuwale; hai mai no lakou i ka hihio o ko lakou naau iho, aole mai ka waha o Iehova mai.
17 ʻOku nau kei lea pehē kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au, naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, Te mou fiemālie; pea ʻoku nau lea pehē kiate kinautolu taki taha ʻoku muimui ki he holi ʻa hono loto, ʻE ʻikai hoko ha kovi kiate kimoutolu.”
Ke olelo ikaika mai nei lakou i ka poe hoowahawaha mai ia'u, Ua olelo mai o Iehova, E loaa ia oukou ka maluhia: a olelo no hoi lakou i kela mea i keia mea i hele mamuli o ka paakiki o kona naau iho, Aohe hewa e hiki mai ana maluna o oukou.
18 “He ko hai naʻe tuʻu ʻi he potu lilo ʻa Sihova, ke ne ʻilo mo fanongo ki heʻene folofola? Ko hai kuo fanongo ki heʻene folofola, mo tokanga ki ai?
No ka mea, owai ka mea i ku ma ka ahaolelo o Iehova, a ike aku la, a lohe i kana olelo? Owai ka mea i haliu aku i kana olelo a lohe?
19 Vakai, kuo ʻalu atu ʻia Sihova ʻae matangi ʻahiohio ʻi he houhau, ko e matangi ʻahiohio ʻoku fonu ʻi he kovi: pea ʻe tō lahi ia ki he ʻulu ʻoe angahala.
Aia hoi, he puahiohio no Iehova ka i puka mai me ka huhu, he puahiohio nui loa; e haule ino no ia maluna o ke poo o ka poe hewa.
20 ʻE ʻikai tafoki ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova kaeʻoua ke ne fai, mo fakaʻosi kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ne finangalo ki ai: pea te mou ʻilo lahi ʻae meʻa ni ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui.”
Aole e hoi hou aku ka huhu o Iehova, a hooko oia, a hana io i ka manao o kona naau. I na la mahope, e hoomaopopo loa oukou ia mea.
21 Naʻe ʻikai te u fekau ʻae kau palōfita na, ka naʻa nau lele: naʻe ʻikai te u lea kiate kinautolu, ka kuo nau kikite.
Aole au i hoouna aku i keia poe kaula, ua holo nae lakou; aole au i olelo ia lakou, aka, ua wanana ae lakou.
22 Kapau naʻa nau tuʻumaʻu ʻi heʻeku fakakaukau, pea fakahā ki hoku kakai ʻeku ngaahi lea, pehē te nau toki fakatafoki ʻakinautolu mei honau hala kovi, pea mei he kovi ʻo ʻenau ngaahi faianga.”
Aka, ina i ku lakou maloko o ka'u ahaolelo; ina ua hana aku i ko'u poe kanaka e lohe i ka'u mau olelo, ina ua hoohuli hoi lakou i kela poo, mai ko lakou aoao hewa mai, a mai ka hewa mai hoi o ka lakou hana ana.
23 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko e ʻOtua au ʻoe ofi pe, pea ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ʻoe mamaʻo foki?
He Akua kokoke nei au, wahi a Iehova, aole hoi he Akua ma kahi loihi aku?
24 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE faʻa fakafufū ia ʻe ha taha ʻi ha ngaahi potu lilo ke ʻoua naʻaku ʻilo ia? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, He ʻoku ʻikai fonu ʻae langi mo māmani ʻiate au?
E huna anei kekahi ia ia iho ma na wahi malu, i ike ole aku ai au ia ia, wahi a Iehova? Aole anei au i hoopiha i ka lani, a me ka honua? wahi a Iehova.
25 Kuo u fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻe he kau palōfita, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kikite loi ʻi hoku huafa, ʻo pehē, kuo u misi, kuo u misi.
Ua lohe no wau i na mea a na kaula i olelo ai, ka poe i wanana wahahee ma ko'u inoa, me ka olelo iho, Ua moeuhane au, ua moeuhane au.
26 ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻoe meʻa ni ʻi he loto ʻoe kau palōfita ʻoku kikite ʻaki ʻae ngaahi loi? ʻio, ko e kau palōfita ʻoku kākā mei honau loto;
Pehea la ka loihi o ka noho ana o keia iloko o ka naau o na kaula, ka poe wanana wahahee? Oia, he poe kaula lakou no ka hoopunipuni o ko lakou naau iho;
27 ʻAkinautolu ni ʻoku fie fakangaloʻi fakangaloʻi hoku huafa ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamai koeʻuhi ko Peali.
He poe manao e haawi i ko'u poe kanaka i ka hoopoina i ko'u inoa, no ko lakou mau moeuhane, na mea a kela mea keia mea o lakou i hai ae i kona hoalauna, e like me ko lakou poe makua i hoopoina i ko'u inoa ma o Baala la.
28 Ko e palōfita ʻoku maʻu ha misi tuku ke ne lea ʻaki ʻae misi; pea ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻeku folofola, tuku ke ne lea moʻoni ʻaki ʻeku folofola ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Ko e hā ʻae kafukafu ʻi he uite?
O ke kaula moeuhane, e hai ae oia i ka moeuhane; a o ka mea ia ia ka'u olelo, e hai pololei oia i ka'u olelo. Heaha ke aa i ka palaoa, wahi a Iehova?
29 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; ʻIkai ʻoku tatau ʻeku folofola mo e afi? Pea hangē ko e hamala ke tā mo laiki ʻaki ʻae maka?
Aole anei i like ka'u olelo me ke ahi? wahi a Iehova; a like hoi me ka hamare, ka mea e nahaha ai ka pohaku?
30 Ko ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki he palōfita, ʻoku nau taki taha kaihaʻa ʻeku lea mei hono kaungāʻapi
Nolaila au e ku e nei i na kaula, wahi a Iehova, na mea aihue i ka'u mau olelo, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka kona hoalauna.
31 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki he kau palōfita, ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau lea ʻaki honau ʻelelo, ʻo pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe ia.
Aia hoi, ke ku e nei au i na kaula, wahi a Iehova, ka poe hana me ko lakou alelo, a olelo mai, Ke i mai nei oia.
32 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, ʻoku ou fehiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻoku kikite ʻaki ʻae ngaahi misi kākā, pea lea ʻaki ia, pea fakahalaʻi ʻa hoku kakai ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi loi, mo e kākā; ka naʻe ʻikai te u tala ke nau ʻalu, pe fekau ʻakinautolu: ko ia ʻe ʻikai siʻi te nau momoʻi ʻaonga ki he kakai ni, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
Aia hoi, ke ku e nei au i ka poe wanana iho i na moeuhane wahahee, wahi a Iehova, a hai ae ia mau mea, a alakai hewa i ko'u poe kanaka, i ka lakou mau mea wahahee, a i ka lakou kaena ana: aole nae au i hoouna ia lakou, aole i kauoha aku ia lakou: nolaila, aole lakou e hoopomaikai iki i keia poe kanaka, wahi a Iehova.
33 Pea ʻoka fehuʻi kiate koe, ʻae kakai ni, pe ha palōfita, pe ha taulaʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae lea mamafa meia Sihova? Te ke pehē leva kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e lea mamafa ʻoe hā?’ ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko e moʻoni te u liʻaki ʻakimoutolu.’
A hiki i ka manawa e ninau mai ai ia oe, o keia poe kanaka, a o ke kaula paha, a o ke kahuna paha, a olelo mai, Heaha ka wanana a Iehova? Alaila, e olelo aku oe ia lakou, O ka wanana hea? E haalele no wau ia oukou, wahi a Iehova.
34 Pea ko e palōfita, mo e taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kakai, ʻaia te nau pehē, ‘Ko e lea mamafa meia Sihova, Te u tautea ʻae tangata ko ia mo hono fale.’
A o ke kaula, a o ke kahuna, a o ka lahuikanaka e olelo, Ka wanana a Iehova, na'u no e hoopai aku i kela kanaka, a me ko kona hale.
35 Pea te mou taki taha fepehēʻaki ki hono kaungāʻapi, pea taki taha ki hono tokoua, ‘Ko e hā ʻae tala ʻa Sihova?’ Pea, ‘Ko e hā kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova?’
Penei oukou e olelo ai, o kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna, o kela mea keia mea i kona hoahanau; Heaha ka Iehova i pane mai ai? a heaha hoi ka Iehova i olelo mai ai?
36 Pea ʻe ʻikai te mou toe lea ki he lea mamafa meia Sihova: he ko e lea ʻae tangata taki taha ko ʻene kavenga ia; he kuo mou fakakehe ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua moʻui, ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ko hotau ʻOtua.
A mai hai hou oukou i ka wanana a Iehova; no ka mea, o ka olelo a kela kanaka keia kanaka, oia kana wanana: no ka mea, ua hoololi oukou i na olelo a ke Akua ola, o Iehova o na kaua, o ko kakou Akua.
37 Pea te ke lea pehē ki he palōfita, ‘Ko e hā ʻae tali ʻa Sihova kiate koe?’ Pea, ‘Ko e hā kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova?’
Penei oe o olelo aku ai i ke kaula, Heaha ka Iehova i pane mai ai ia oe? a heaha hoi ka Iehova i olelo mai ai?
38 Ka ʻi hoʻomou pehē mai, ‘Ko e lea mamafa meia Sihova;’ ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi ʻoku mou lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni, ‘Ko e tala mamafa meia Sihova,’ pea kuo u fekau kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, ʻoua naʻa mou pehē, ‘Ko e lea mamafa meia Sihova?’
Aka, no ka oukou olelo ana, Ka wanana a Iehova; nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova; No ka oukou olelo ana mai i keia olelo, Ka wanana a Iehova, a ua hoouna aku au ia oukou, me ka i iho, Mai olelo oukou, Ka wanana a Iehova;
39 Ko ia, Vakai, Ko au, ʻIo, Ko au, te u fakangalongaloʻi ʻaupito ʻakimoutolu, pea te u liʻaki ʻakimoutolu, pea mo e kolo naʻaku foaki kiate kimoutolu mo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea te u kapusi ʻakimoutolu ʻi hoku ʻao:
Nolaila, wau no, e hoopoina loa no wau ia oukou, a e haalele no wau ia oukou, a me ke kulanakauhale a'u i haawi aku ai ia oukou, a me ko oukou poe kupuna, a e lilo auanei oukou mai ko'u alo aku.
40 Pea te u fakaongoongo koviʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻo taʻengata, pea fakatupu kiate kimoutolu ʻae mā ʻo taʻengata, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai fakangalongaloʻi.”
A e haawi no wau ia oukou, i mea hoowahawaha mau loa, a i hilahila pau ole, aole hoi e poinaia.
