Heremaia 16
1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea ia.
Ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe hoko kiate au, ʻo pehē,
2 Kaua koe e moe hoa, kauaka hoki he tama, he tamahine mau i tenei wahi.
“ʻOua naʻa ke toʻo kiate koe ha husepāniti, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he potu ni.
3 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa mo nga tama, mo nga tamahine ka whanau ki tenei wahi, mo o ratou whaea hoki i whanau ai ratou, mo o ratou papa ano na ratou nei aua tamariki i tenei whenua;
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ki he ngaahi foha pea mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻaia ʻoku fāʻeleʻi ʻi he potu ni, pea ki heʻenau ngaahi faʻē ʻaia naʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai ʻaia naʻe fakatupu ʻakinautolu ʻi he fonua ni;
4 He kino rawa nga mate e mate ai ratou; e kore ratou e tangihia, e kore hoki e tanumia; ka waiho ratou hei whakawairakau i runga i te mata o te oneone: ka poto atu ratou i te hoari, i te hemokai; ko o ratou tinana hei kai ma nga manu o te rangi, m a nga kararehe o te whenua.
Te nau mate ʻi he ngaahi mate kovi; pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangi koeʻuhi ko kinautolu; pea ʻe ʻikai tanu ʻakinautolu; ka te nau hangē ko e kinohaʻa ʻi he funga ʻoe fonua: pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻe he heletā, mo e honge: pea ʻe kai honau ʻangaʻanga ʻe he fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā, pea mo e fanga manu ʻoe fonua.
5 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, Kaua e tomo ki te whare tangihanga, kaua hoki e haere ki te tangi, ki te uhunga i a ratou: kua tangohia atu hoki e ahau taku rangimarie i tenei iwi, e ai ta Ihowa, ara te aroha noa me nga mahi tohu.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke hū ki he fale ʻoe mamahi, pea ʻoua naʻa ʻalu ke tangi mo fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu: he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, kuo u toʻo ʻeku fiemālie mei he kakai ni, ʻio, ko e angalelei mo e ʻaloʻofa.
6 Ka mate nga mea nunui ratou ko nga mea ririki ki tenei whenua; e kore ratou e tanumia, e kore hoki te tangata e tangi ki a ratou, e kore e haehae i a ratou, e kore e whakamoremore i o ratou mahunga mo ratou:
ʻE mate fakatouʻosi ʻi he fonua ni ʻae lalahi pea mo e iiki: pea ʻe ʻikai tanu ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai tangi ʻae kakai, pe fai ʻae foa, pe ko e tekefua koeʻuhi ko kinautolu:
7 E kore hoki e tuwhaina mai te taro ma ratou i te tangihanga, hei whakamarie i a ratou mo te tupapaku; e kore hoki e homai ki a ratou te kapu whakamarie kia inumia, ina mea ki tona papa, ki tona whaea.
Pea ʻe ʻikai maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau mamahi, ke fakafiemālie ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko e mate; pea ʻe ʻikai foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae ipu ʻoe fiemālie ke inu, koeʻuhi ko ha tamai pe ha faʻē.
8 Kaua ano hoki koe e tomo ki te whare hakari noho tahi ai me ratou, kai ai, inu ai ranei.
ʻOua foki naʻa ke ʻalu ki he fale ʻoe kātoanga, ke nofo mo kinautolu ke kai mo inu.
9 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Nana, ka whakamutua e ahau i tenei wahi, i mua i o koutou kanohi a i o koutou ra, te reo o te harakoa, te reo o te hari, te reo o te tane marena hou, te reo o te wahine marena hou.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; Vakai, te u pule ke ʻosi ʻi he potu ni ʻi homou ʻao, pea ʻi homou ngaahi ʻaho, ʻae leʻo ʻoe fiefia, pea mo e leʻo ʻoe nekeneka, pea mo e leʻo ʻoe tangata taʻane, pea mo e leʻo ʻoe taʻahine.”
10 Na, ka korerotia e koe enei kupu katoa ki tenei iwi, a ka mea ratou ki a koe, Na te aha tenei kino nui katoa i korerotia mai ai e Ihowa ki a matou? he aha hoki to matou he? he aha ano to matou hara i hara ai matou ki a Ihowa, ki to matou Atua?
Pea ke hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻOka ke ka fakaʻilo ki he kakai ni ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē, te nau pehē kiate koe, ‘Ko e hā kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate kimautolu ʻae kovi lahi ni kotoa pē? He ko e hā ʻemau hia? Pea ko e hā ʻemau angahala ʻaia kuo mau fai kia Sihova ko homau ʻOtua?’
11 Katahi koe ka mea ki a ratou, No te mea i whakarerea ahau e o koutou matua, e ai ta Ihowa, a haere ana ratou ki te whai i nga atua ke mahi ana ki a ratou, koropiko ana ki a ratou, whakarerea ana ahau e ratou, kihai hoki ratou i pupuri i taku tur e;
Pea te ke toki lea kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo liʻaki au ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea kuo nau muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pea tauhi ʻakinautolu, pea kuo lotu kiate kinautolu, pea kuo nau liʻaki au, pea ʻoku ʻikai fai ki heʻeku fono;
12 Me koutou ano, kino atu ta koutou mahi i ta o koutou matua; no te mea, nana, kei te whai koutou i nga tikanga pakeke o tona ngakau kino, o tona ngakau kino, na wai a kahore koutou e rongo ki ahau:
Pea kuo mou fai kovi lahi hake ʻakimoutolu ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi tamai; pea vakai, ʻoku mou taki taha muimui ki he holi ʻa hono loto kovi, ke ʻoua naʻa nau fanongo kiate au:
13 Na reira ka akiritia atu koutou e ahau i tenei whenua ki tetahi whenua kihai i mohiotia e koutou, e o koutou matua ranei; a ki reira koutou mahi ai ki nga atua ke i te ao, i te po; e kore hoki e puta toku aroha ki a koutou.
Ko ia te u kapusi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he fonua ni, ki he fonua ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo, ko kimoutolu, pe ko hoʻomou ngaahi tamai; pea te mou tauhi ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō; pea ʻe ʻikai te u ʻofa kiate kimoutolu ʻi ai.’”
14 Nana, kei te haere ake nei hoki nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e kore ai e korerotia, E ora ana a Ihowa nana nei i kawe mai nga tama a Iharaira i te whenua o Ihipa;
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko ia, vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai toe pehē ai, ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite;
15 Engari, E ora ana a Ihowa nana nei i kawe mai nga tama a Iharaira i te whenua ki te raki, i nga whenua katoa ano i peia atu ai ratou e ia: a ka whakahokia mai ratou e ahau ki to ratou whenua i hoatu ra e ahau ki o ratou matua.
Ka, ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua tokelau, pea mei he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē naʻa ne kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai: pea te u toe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki honau fonua ʻaia naʻaku foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai.”
16 Nana, ka tikina atu e ahau etahi kaihi ika tokomaha, e ai ta Ihowa, a ka hiia ratou e ratou: muri iho ka tikina e ahau he tangata whai kirehe mohoao, he tokomaha, a ka whaia ratou i runga i nga maunga katoa, i runga i nga pukepuke katoa, i roto hoki i nga rua o nga kamaka.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, te u fekau ke ʻomi ʻae kau toutai tokolahi, pea te nau toutai ʻakinautolu; pea hili ia te u fekau ki he kau tuli manu tokolahi, pea te nau tuli ʻakinautolu mei he moʻunga kotoa pē, pea mei he tafungofunga kotoa pē, pea mei he ngaahi ʻanaʻi maka.
17 No te mea kei runga oku kanohi i o ratou ara katoa; kahore hoki e huna atu i toku mata, kahore ano to ratou he e huna i oku kanohi.
He ʻoku ou fofonga ki honau hala kotoa pē: pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau puli ʻi hoku ʻao, pea ʻoku ʻikai fakafufū ʻenau angahala mei hoku fofonga.
18 Na ka matua rite i ahau nga utu mo to ratou he, mo to ratou hara, kia rua; mo ratou i whakapoke i toku whenua ki nga tinana o a ratou mea anaunu, i whakaki hoki i toku wahi tupu ki a ratou mea whakarihariha.
Pea te u tomuʻa totongi ke liunga ua ki heʻenau hia pea mo ʻenau angahala; koeʻuhi kuo nau fakakoviʻi hoku fonua, pea kuo nau fakapito ʻaki hoku tofiʻa ʻae ngaahi ʻangaʻanga ʻo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa kovi mo fakalielia.”
19 E Ihowa, e toku kaha, e toku pa kaha, e toku rerenga atu i te wa o te raru, tera e haere mai nga iwi i nga pito o te whenua ki a koe, a ka mea, Koia ano! he teka kau nga taonga tupu o o tatou matua, he horihori, he mea huakore.
ʻE Sihova, ko hoku mālohi, mo ʻeku kolo, pea mo hoku hūfanga ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi, ʻe haʻu kiate koe ʻae kakai Senitaile mei he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, pea te nau pehē, “Ko e moʻoni naʻe maʻu ʻi he ʻemau ngaahi tamai ʻae ngaahi loi, mo e meʻa vaʻinga, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa taʻeʻaonga.
20 E hanga ranei te tangata i etahi atua mona, ehara nei i te atua?
ʻE ngaohi ʻe he kau tangata ʻae ngaahi ʻotua moʻonautolu, kae ʻosi ʻoku ʻikai ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻakinautolu?”
21 Mo reira ka meinga ratou e ahau kia mohio, ka meinga ratou e ahau kia mohio i tenei wa kotahi nei ki toku ringa, ki toku kaha hoki; a ka mohio ratou, ko Ihowa toku ingoa.
Ko ia, vakai, te u pule ni kiate kinautolu ke nau ʻilo hoku nima, mo hoku mālohi; pea te nau ʻilo ko hoku huafa, Ko Sihova.
