Selemaia 8

1 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia te nau ʻomi mei honau ngaahi faʻitoka, ʻae hui ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, mo e ngaahi hui ʻoe houʻeiki, mo e hui ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, mo e hui ʻoe kau palōfita, pea mo e ngaahi hui ʻoe kakai ʻo Selūsalema.

I taua wa, e ai ta Ihowa, ka whakaputaina mai ki waho nga wheua o nga kingi o Hura, me nga whenua o ona rangatira, me nga whenua o nga tohunga, ma nga wheua o nga poropiti, me nga wheua o nga tangata o Hiruharama i roto i o ratou tanumanga:

2 Pea te nau fofola ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe laʻā, pea mo e māhina, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe langi, ʻaia kuo nau ʻofa ki ai, pea kuo nau tauhi, pea kuo nau muimui ki ai, pea kuo nau kumi pea kuo nau lotu ki ai; pea ʻe ʻikai tānaki ʻakinautolu, pe tanu; ka te nau hoko ko e kinohaʻa ʻi he funga ʻoe kelekele.

A ka tohatohaina e ratou ki mua i te ra, i te marama, i te mano katoa o te rangi, i a ratou i aroha ai, i mahi ai, i whai ai, i rapu ai, i koropiko ai: e kore e kohikohia, e kore e tanumia; ka waiho hei whakawairakau ki te mata o te oneone.

3 Pea ʻe fili ʻae mate ʻi he moʻui ʻekinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku toe ʻi he faʻahinga kovi ni, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku toe ʻi he ngaahi potu kuo u kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

A pai ake te mate i te ora ki ta nga morehu katoa, ki ta nga toenga o tenei hapu kino e toe ki nga wahi katoa e peia atu ai ratou e ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

4 “Pea te ke lea kiate kinautolu foki, ‘ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “‘Te nau hinga, pea ʻe ʻikai toetuʻu? Te ne ʻalu atu pea ʻe ʻikai toe foki mai?

Mea atu ano ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ka hinga ranei, a kore ake e ara? ka tahuri atu ranei ia, a kore ake e tahuri mai?

5 Ka ko e hā kuo fakaholomui ai ʻae kakai ni ʻo Selūsalema ʻo fakaholomui maʻuaipē? ʻOku nau kuku maʻu ki he kākā, ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie tafoki mai.

He aha tenei iwi o Hiruharama i tahuri ke ai, a mau tonu iho te tahuri ke? e hopukia atu ana e ratou te tinihanga, kahore e pai ki te hoki mai.

6 Pea naʻaku fakafanongo pea ongoʻi, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau lea totonu: naʻe ʻikai ha tangata kuo fakatomala ʻi heʻene kovi, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e hā kuo u fai?” Kuo taki taha foki ki heʻene anga ʻaʻana, ʻo hangē ko e ʻoho ʻae hoosi ki he tau.

I whakarongo ahau, i rongo ano, kihai i tika a ratou korero; kihai tetahi i ripeneta ki tona kino, kihai i mea, He aha taku i mea ai? anga ana te katoa ki tana oma, ki tana oma, pera ana me te hoiho e kokiri atu ana ki te tatauranga.

7 ‌ʻIo, ʻoku ʻilo ʻe he motuku ʻi he langi hono ngaahi ʻaho kuo tuʻutuʻuni; pea mo e lupe, mo e kelene, pea mo e sualo honau ʻaho ke haʻu ai; ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe hoku kakai ʻae fakamaau ʻa Sihova.

Ae ra, ko te taka i te rangi, e mohio ana ki nga wa i whakaritea mona, ko te kukupa ano, ko te kareni, me te warou, mahara tonu ratou ki te wa e haere mai ai ratou; ko taku iwi ia, kahore e mohio ki ta Ihowa i whakarite ai.

8 “‘ʻOku fēfē hoʻomou pehē, “ʻOku mau poto, pea ʻoku ʻiate kimautolu ʻae fono ʻa Sihova?” Ko e moʻoni kuo liliu ʻae meʻa ni ko e loi, ʻe he peni kākā ʻae kau tangata tohi.

He pehea ta koutou e ki, He hunga whakaaro nui tatou, kei a tatou te ture a Ihowa? Nana, he horihori te mahi a te pene horihori a nga kaituhituhi.

9 Kuo mā ʻae kau tangata poto, kuo tauhele mo fakailifia ʻakinautolu: Vakai, kuo nau liʻaki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova; pea ko e hā ʻae poto ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu?

Ko te hunga whakaaro nui, whakama ana ratou, wehi noa iho ratou, hopukia iho; nana, kua paopao nei ratou ki te kupu a Ihowa, a he pehea te whakaaro nui i roto i a ratou?

10 Ko ia te u foaki honau ngaahi uaifi ki he kakai kehe: he ʻoku manumanu ʻakinautolu taki taha mei he iiki, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he lalahi, ʻoku taki taha fai kākā mei he palōfita ʻo aʻu ki he taulaʻeiki.

Mo reira ka hoatu e ahau a ratou wahine ma te tangata ke, a ratou mara ki nga tangata mona te wahi; ko ratou katoa, i te iti ki te rahi, kei te apo mea ma ratou; ko te poropiti, ko te tohunga, ko ratou katoa, kei te mahi teka.

11 He kuo nau fakamoʻui kākā ʻae lavea ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai, ʻonau pehē, “Fiemālie, fiemālie;” ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fiemālie.

Kua rongoatia e ratou te pakaru o te tamahine a taku iwi, he mea panga noa iho, e mea ana, Ka mau te rongo, ka mau te rongo; i te mea kahore he maunga rongo.

12 He naʻa nau mā ʻi he hili ʻenau fai ʻae meʻa fakalielia? Naʻe ʻikai; naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te nau mā, pe fekulaʻi honau mata: ko ia te nau tō hifo fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoku hinga: ʻe fakatō ki lalo ʻakinautolu, ʻo kau ka tautea ʻakinautolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.’”

I whakama ranei ratou i ta ratou mahinga i te mea whakarihariha? Hore rawa o ratou whakama; kahore hoki ratou i mohio ki te numinumi: mo reira ka hinga ratou i roto i te hunga e hinga ana; i te wa e whiua ai ratou, ka tutuki o ratou waewae, e ai ta Ihowa.

13 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko e moʻoni te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu:” ʻe ʻikai fua ʻae ngaahi vaine, pea ʻe ʻikai fua ʻae ngaahi fiki, ka ʻe mae hono lau; pea ʻe mole ʻiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻaku foaki kiate kinautolu.”

Ka moti rawa ratou i ahau, e ai ta Ihowa: kahore he karepe mo te waina, kahore he piki mo te piki; ka memenge ano te rau; a ko nga mea i hoatu e ahau ki a ratou, ka pahemo atu.

14 “Ko e hā ʻoku tau nofo fakafiemālie ai? Ke tau fakataha pea ʻalu ki he ngaahi kolo mālohi, pea ke tau tatali fakalongolongo ʻi ai: he kuo fakalongoʻi ʻakitautolu ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, pea kuo ne foaki kiate kitautolu ʻae huhuʻa kona ʻoe ʻahu ke inu, koeʻuhi kuo tau fai angahala kia Sihova.

He aha tatou i noho tonu ai? huihui, kia haere tatou ki nga pa kaha, ki reira whakamoroki kau ai: kua kore hoki i a Ihowa, i to tatou Atua he kupu ma tatou, whakainumia ana tatou e ia ki te wai kawa; no te mea kua hara tatou ki a Ihowa.

15 Naʻa tau ʻamanaki ki he fiemālie, ka naʻe ʻikai haʻu ha lelei; ki he fakamoʻui, ka e vakai ko e mamahi!

Tatari noa ki te rongo mau; heoi kahore he pai; ki te wa e ora ai nga mate, na ko te raruraru.

16 Naʻe ongo mai mei Tani ʻae tangi ʻo ʻene fanga hoosi, naʻe ngalulu ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻi he ʻuʻulu ʻae tangi ʻae fanga hoosi tau; he kuo nau haʻu mo kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae fonua, mo e meʻa fulipē naʻe ʻi ai; ko e kolo, mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ai.”

I rangona ki Rana te whengu o ona hoiho; ngateri ana te whenua katoa i te reo o ana mea kaha e hamama ana; kua haere mai hoki ratou, pau ake i a ratou te whenua me ona mea maha, te pa me nga tangata o roto.

17 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, te u fekau kiate kinautolu ʻae fanga ngata mo e fanga ngata fekai, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fakalata, pea te nau ʻuusi ʻakinautolu.”

Nana, ka ngarea atu e ahau he nakahi, he neke, e kore nei e whakawaia, ki a koutou; a ka ngau ratou i a koutou, e ai ta Ihowa.

18 ‌ʻO kau ka fakafiemālieʻi au ʻi heʻeku mamahi, ʻoku vaivai hoku loto ʻiate au.

Aue, te taea te whakamarie te pouri i ahau! e ngohe nei te ngakau i roto i ahau.

19 Vakai, ko e leʻo ʻoe tangi ʻae ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he fonua mamaʻo: “ʻIkai ʻoku ʻi Saione ʻe Sihova? ʻIkai ʻoku ʻiate ia hono tuʻi?” “Ko e hā ʻoku nau fakaʻita ai au ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi tamapua kuo tongi, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa vaʻinga?”

Nana, he reo tangi no te tamahine a taku iwi, i ahu mai i te whenua tawhiti! He teka ianei kei roto a Ihowa i Hiona? he teka ianei kei roto tona kingi i a ia? He aha ratou i whakapataritari ai i ahau ki a ratou whakapakoko, ki nga horihori rere ke?

20 “Kuo ʻosi ʻae ututaʻu, kuo hili ʻae faʻahitaʻu mafana, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu.”

Kua pahemo te kotinga, kua taka te raumati; ko tatou, kahore he whakaoranga mo tatou.

21 He ko e mamahi ʻo hoku kakai, ʻoku ou mamahi ai; ʻoku ou ʻalu mamahi, kuo pukea au ʻi he fakatumutumu.

He mamae ki te tamahine a taku iwi i mamae ai ahau, mangu iho ahau, mau pu ahau i te miharo.

22 ‌ʻIkai ʻoku ai ʻae lolo faitoʻo ʻi Kiliati? ʻIkai ʻoku ai ha faitoʻo ʻi ai? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai moʻui ai ʻae ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai?

Kahore ianei he hinu whakaora i Kireara? Kahore ianei o reira rata? he aha ra te hoki mai ai te ora ki te tamahine a taku iwi?
