Lute 4
1 Naʻe toki ʻalu hake ai ʻa Poasi ki he matapā, pea nofo ki lalo ia ʻi ai: pea vakai, naʻe ʻalu ange ʻae kāinga ʻaia naʻe lea ki ai ʻa Poasi; ʻaia naʻe pehē ki ai ia, “ʻE, ʻa koe, tafoki mai, pea nofo ki lalo ʻi heni.” Pea naʻe tafoki ia, ʻo nofo ki lalo.
Na ka haere a Poaha ki te kuwaha, a noho ana i reira; na ko te whanaunga tata i korerotia ra e Poaha e haere ana. Katahi tera ka mea atu, E! ko koe tonu ia! peka mai nei ki konei noho ai. Na ka peka atu ia, a noho ana.
2 Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ko e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo, ʻo ne pehē, “Mou nofo ki lalo ʻi heni.” Pea naʻa nau nofo ki lalo.
Na ka tikina e ia etahi tangata o nga kaumatua o te pa, kotahi tekau, a ka mea, E noho ki konei. Na noho ana ratou.
3 Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kāinga, “Ko Naomi ʻaia kuo toe haʻu mei he fonua ko Moape, ʻoku fakatau ʻe ia ʻae konga fonua, ʻaia naʻe ʻia ʻElimeleki ko hotau tokoua.
Na ka mea ia ki taua whanaunga tata, E hokona ana e Naomi, i haere mai nei i te whenua o Moapa, te wahi o te mara i to tatou tuakana, i a Erimereke:
4 Pea ne u pehē, “Te u fakahā ia kiate koe, ʻo pehē, Ke ke fakatau ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻo hoku kakai. Kapau te ke huhuʻi ia, pea ke huhuʻi ia: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke huhuʻi ia, pea ke fakahā kiate au, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo: he ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha kehe ke huhuʻi ia ka ko koe; pea ʻoku ou hoko mo koe.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te u huhuʻi ia.”
Na ka whakaaro ahau, me whakaatu ki a koe, me te ki atu, Mau e hoko i te aroaro o nga tangata e noho nei, i te aroaro ano hoki o nga kaumatua o toku iwi. Ki te hokona e koe, hokona: a ki te kahore e hokona, korerotia mai ki ahau, kia mohio ai aha u: kahore hoki he tangata hei hoko, ko koe anake, a ko ahau to muri i a koe. Na ka mea tera, Maku e hoko.
5 Pea pehē ai ʻe Poasi, “Ko e ʻaho ko ia ʻoku ke fakatau ʻae ngoue ʻi he nima ʻo Naomi, ʻoku totonu hoʻo fakatau ia ʻi he nima ʻo Lute foki ko e fefine Moape, ko e uaifi ʻoe pekia, ke fokotuʻu hake ʻae hingoa ʻoe pekia ki hono tofiʻa.
Katahi a Poaha ka mea, A te ra e hoko ai koe i te mara i te ringa o Naomi, e hoko ana hoki koe i a Rutu, i taua Moapi, i te wahine a te tupapaku, hei whakaara ingoa ake mo te tupapaku ki tona wahi tupu.
6 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kāinga, “ʻOku ʻikai te u faʻa huhuʻi ia moʻoku, telia naʻaku maumau ai ʻae tofiʻa ʻoʻoku: ke ke huhuʻi ʻaia ʻoku ʻoʻoku moʻou; he ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa huhuʻi ia.”
Na ka mea taua whanaunga tata, E kore e taea te hoko e ahau maku; kei he toku kainga tupu: mau taku hokonga e hoko; e kore hoki e taea te hoko e ahau.
7 Pea ko eni hono anga ʻi muʻa ʻi ʻIsileli ʻoe huhuʻi, pea ki he fetongi, ke fakamoʻoni ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē; naʻe vete ʻe he tangata hono topuvaʻe, pea ʻatu ia ki hono kaungāʻapi: pea ko e meʻa fakamoʻoni ia ʻi ʻIsileli.
Na, i mua ko te tikanga tenei i roto i a Iharaira mo nga hoko mai ano, mo nga whakawhiti, hei whakau mo nga mea katoa; unuhia ai e tetahi tona hu a ka hoatu ki tona hoa: a hei kaiwhakaatu tena i roto i a Iharaira.
8 Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe he kāinga kia Poasi, “Ke ke fakatau ia moʻou.” Ko ia naʻa ne vete ʻo toʻo hono topuvaʻe.
Na ka mea taua whanaunga ki a Poaha, Mau e hoko. A unuhia ake e ia tona hu.
9 Pea pehē ʻe Poasi ki he kau mātuʻa, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē, “Ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni kuo u fakatau ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻo ʻElimeleki, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻo Kilioni mo Maloni, ʻi he nima ʻo Naomi.
Na ka mea a Poaha ki nga kaumatua ratou ko te iwi katoa, He kaititiro koutou i tenei ra ki taku hokonga mai i nga mea katoa a Erimereke, i nga mea katoa ano a Kiriono, a Maharono, i roto i te ringa o Naomi;
10 Pea mo Lute foki ko e fefine Moape, ko e uaifi ʻo Maloni, kuo u fakatau ko hoku uaifi, ke fokotuʻu hake ʻae hingoa ʻoe pekia ki hono tofiʻa, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa motuhi ʻae hingoa ʻoe pekia mei hono kāinga, pea mei he matapā ʻo hono potu: ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni.”
Me Rutu Moapi hoki me te wahine a Maharono, kua hokona mai ia e ahau hei wahine maku, hei whakaara ingoa ake mo te tupapaku ki tona kainga tupu, kei hautopea atu te ingoa o te tupapaku i roto i ona teina, i te kuwaha ano o tona wahi; ko koutou n ga kaititiro i tenei ra.
11 Pea naʻe lea ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he matapā, mo e kau mātuʻa, ʻo pehē, “Ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimautolu. Ke ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae fefine kuo haʻu ki ho fale ke hangē ko Lesieli mo Lia, ʻakinaua naʻa na langa ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli: pea ke tāpuekina koe ʻi ʻEfalata, pea ke ongolelei koe ʻi Petelihema:
Na ka mea nga tangata katoa i te kuwaha, ratou ko nga kaumatua, He kaititiro matou. Ma Ihowa e mea tena wahine e hare mai na ki tou whare kia rite ki a Rahera raua ko Rea, na raua nei i tu ai te whare o Iharaira: kia nui ano hoki tau mahi i Epar ata, kia whai ingoa koe i Peterehema:
12 pea ke hoko ʻo tatau ho fale mo e fale ʻo Felesi, ʻaia naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Tema kia Siuta, ʻi he hako ʻaia ʻe tuku kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻi he fefine mui ni.”
Hei te whare o Parete, whanau a Tamara raua ko Hura, te rite mo tou whare, ara mo te uri e homai e Ihowa ki a koe i roto i tenei kotiro.
13 Ko ia naʻe ʻomi ʻe Poasi ʻa Lute, pea hoko ia ko hono uaifi: pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu kiate ia, naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻe Sihova ke feitama, pea ne fanauʻi ʻae tama.
Na ka tango a Poaha i a Rutu, a waiho iho ia hei wahine mana: na ka tae atu ia ki a ia, a ka meinga e Ihowa kia hapu; na kua whanau tana tama.
14 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau fefine kia Naomi, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai tuku liʻaki koe taʻehao-kāinga, koeʻuhi ke hoko ʻo ongoongolelei hono hingoa ʻi ʻIsileli.
Na ka mea nga wahine ki a Naomi, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, kihai nei i waiho i a koe i tenei ra kia hapa i tetahi whanaunga tata: kia rangona ano tona ingoa i roto i a Iharaira.
15 Pea ʻe ʻiate koe ia ko e fakaakeake moʻui, pea ko e tauhi kiate koe ʻi hoʻo motuʻa: koeʻuhi ko hoʻo taʻahine ʻi he fono, ʻaia ʻoku ʻofa kiate koe, ʻaia ʻoku lelei lahi kiate koe ʻi he tama tangata ʻe toko fitu, kuo ne fanauʻi kiate ia.”
Mana hoki tou wairua e whakahoki ake, ko ia hoki hei atawahi mo tou ruruhitanga: he whanau hoki ia na tau hunaonga e aroha nei ki a koe, he nui ke nei tona pai ki a koe i to nga tama tokowhitu.
16 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Naomi ʻae tamasiʻi, pea ʻai ia ki hono fatafata, pea hoko ia ko hono tauhi.
Na ka tango a Naomi i taua tamaiti, a whakatakotoria ana ki tona uma, a ko ia hei kaihikihiki mona.
17 Pea naʻe fakahingoa ia ʻe he kau fefine ʻo hono kaungāʻapi, ʻo pehē, “Kuo tupu ʻae tama kia Naomi, pea naʻa nau ui hono hingoa ko ʻOpeti: ko ia ia ko e tamai ʻa Sese, ko e tamai ʻa Tevita.
Na huaina ana he ingoa mona e nga wahine e noho tata ana; i mea ratou, Kua whanau tetahi tamaiti ma Naomi; na huaina ana e ratou tona ingoa ko Opere. Ko te papa tenei o Hehe, papa o Rawiri.
18 Pea ko e ngaahi toʻutangata eni ʻo Felesi: naʻe tupu ʻia Felesi ʻa Hesiloni,
Na ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Parete: na Parete ko Heterono.
19 Pea tupu ʻia Hesiloni ʻa Lame, pea tupu ʻia Lame ʻa ʻAminitapi,
Na Heterono ko Rame: na Rame ko Aminarapa,
20 Pea tupu ʻia ʻAminitapi ʻa Nasoni, pea tupu ʻia Nasoni ʻa Salimoni,
Na Aminarapa ko Nahahona: na Nahahona ko Haramono,
21 Pea tupu ʻia Salimoni ʻa Poasi, pea tupu ʻia Poasi ʻa ʻOpeti,
Na Haramono ko Poaha: na Poaha ko Opere,
22 Pea tupu ʻia ʻOpeti ʻa Sese, pea tupu ʻia Sese ʻa Tevita.”
Na Opere ko Hehe: na Hehe ko Rawiri.
