Ehekiera 20

1 Na, i te whitu o nga tau, i te rima o nga marama, i te tekau o nga ra o te marama, ka haere mai etahi o nga kaumatua o Iharaira ki te rapu tikanga i a Ihowa, a noho ana i toku aroaro.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono fitu ʻoe taʻu, ʻi hono nima ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he māhina, naʻe haʻu ai ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli ke fakafehuʻi kia Sihova, pea naʻa nau nofo ʻi hoku ʻao.

2 Na ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,

Pea naʻe hoko mai kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,

3 E te tama a te tangata, korero ki nga kaumatua o Iharaira; mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; i haere mai ranei koutou ki te rapu tikanga i ahau? E ora ana ahau, e kore ahau e pai kia rapua e koutou he tikanga i ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

“Foha ʻoe tangata, lea ki he kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; kuo mou haʻu ke fakafehuʻi kiate au? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, Hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, ʻe ʻikai te u tali ha fakafehuʻi meiate kimoutolu.

4 E whakawa ranei koe i a ratou, e te tama a te tangata, e whakawa ranei koe? meinga kia mohio ratou ki nga mea whakarihariha a o ratou matua:

“ʻIkai te ke fakahalaia ʻakinautolu, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, ʻikai te ke fakahalaia ʻakinautolu? Fakaʻilo kiate kinautolu ʻae fakalielia ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai:

5 Mea atu hoki ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: I te ra i whiriwhiria ai e ahau a Iharaira, i toku ringa i ara ra ki nga uri o te whare o Hakopa, i mohiotia ai ahau e ratou i te whenua o Ihipa, i toku ringa i ara atu ra ki a ratou, i ahau i mea ra, Ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua;

Pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻI he ʻaho ko ia naʻaku fili ʻa ʻIsileli, pea u hiki hake hoku nima ki he hako ʻoe fale ʻo Sēkope, pea naʻaku fakahā au kiate kinautolu ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi heʻeku hiki hake hoku nima kiate kinautolu, pea u pehē, Ko au, ko Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua;

6 I taua ra ano i ara ai toku ringa ki a ratou ki te tango mai i a ratou i te whenua o Ihipa ki te whenua i tirohia e ahau mo ratou, e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi, ki te wahi ataahua rawa o nga whenua katoa;

‌ʻI he ʻaho naʻaku hiki hake hoku nima kiate kinautolu, ke u ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ki ha fonua ne u fili mai moʻonautolu, naʻe fetāfeaki ai ʻae huʻahuhu mo e hone, ʻaia ko e fungani ʻi he fonua kotoa pē.

7 I mea ahau ki a ratou, Maka e tera, e tera, nga mea whakarihariha o ona kanohi; kaua hoki koutou e whakapokea ki nga whakapakoko o Ihipa; ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

Pea naʻaku toki pehē ai kiate kinautolu, Liʻaki atu ʻekimoutolu, ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ʻoku ne sio ki ai, pea ʻoua naʻa fakaʻuli ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi tamapua ʻo ʻIsipite: Ko au ko Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua.

8 Otiia kei te whakakeke ratou ki ahau, kihai hoki i pai ki te whakarongo ki ahau, kihai i maka atu e ratou nga mea whakarihariha o nga kanohi o tera, o tera, kihai i whakarerea e ratou nga whakapakoko o Ihipa: katahi ahau ka mea, Ka ringihia e aha u toku weriweri ki a ratou, ka whakapaua e ahau toku riri ki a ratou i waenganui o te whenua o Ihipa.

Ka naʻa nau angatuʻu kiate au, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo kiate au: naʻe ʻikai ke liʻaki taki taha ʻe he tangata, ʻae ngaahi fakalielia naʻa nau sio ki ai, pea naʻe ʻikai liakiʻi ʻekinautolu ʻae ngaahi tamapua ʻo ʻIsipite: ko ia naʻaku pehē ai, te u lilingi atu hoku houhau kiate kinautolu, ke fai ʻeku houhau kiate kinautolu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite.

9 Otiia mahi ana ahau mo toku ingoa kei poke i te tirohanga a nga iwi i noho tahi ratou, i meinga nei e ahau kia mohio ki ahau, i a ratou ra i kite i to ratou whakaputanga mai i te whenua o Ihipa.

Ka naʻaku ngāue koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakalielia ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni, ʻaia naʻa nau nofo ai, ʻakinautolu naʻaku fakahā au ʻi honau ʻao kiate kinautolu, ʻi heʻeku ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.

10 Heoi whakaputaina ana ratou e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa, kawea ana ki te koraha.

Ko ia naʻaku pehē ai ke nau ʻalu atu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he toafa.

11 I hoatu ano e ahau aku tikanga ki a ratou, i whakakitea atu ano ki a ratou aku whakaritenga e ora ai te tangata ki te mahia e ia.

Pea naʻaku foaki kiate kinautolu ʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea u fakaʻilo kiate kinautolu ʻa hoku finangalo, ʻaia ka fai ʻe he tangata te ne moʻui moʻoni mei ai.

12 I hoatu ano e ahau aku hapati ki a ratou hei tohu ki ahau, ki a ratou, kia mohio ai ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ko to ratou kaiwhakatapu.

Pea naʻaku foaki foki kiate kinautolu ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu, ko e fakaʻilonga kiate kinautolu mo au, ke nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻoku fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakinautolu.

13 Otiia i whakakeke te whare o Iharaira ki ahau i te koraha; kihai ratou i haere i runga i aku tikanga, paopao ana ratou ki aku whakaritenga e ora ai te tangata ki te mahia e ia; whakapokea rawatia ana e ratou aku hapati: katahi ahau ka mea kia ri ngihia toku weriweri ki a ratou i te koraha, kia moti ra ano ratou.

Ka naʻe angatuʻu ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli kiate au ʻi he toafa: naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻalu ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea naʻa nau paetaku ki hoku finangalo, ʻaia ka fai ki ai ʻae tangata, te ne moʻui moʻoni mei ai; pea naʻe fakalieliaʻi lahi ʻaupito ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu: ko ia ne u pehē, te u lilingi hoku houhau kiate kinautolu ʻi he toafa, ke nau ʻauha ai.

14 Otiia mahi ana ahau mo toku ingoa, kei poke i te tirohanga a nga iwi i kite nei i taku tangohanga mai i a ratou.

Ka naʻaku ngāue koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa, ke ʻoua naʻa fakalieliaʻi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni, ʻakinautolu naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ʻao.

15 I ara ano hoki toku ringa ki a ratou i te koraha kia kaua ratou e kawea ki te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi, ki taku i hoatu ai, he wahi ataahua rawa i nga whenua katoa;

Kaeʻumaʻā foki, naʻaku hiki hake hoku nima kiate kinautolu ʻi he toafa, koeʻuhi ke u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua naʻaku foaki kiate kinautolu ʻoku fetafeaki ai ʻae huʻahuhu mo e hone, ʻaia ko e fungani ʻi he fonua kotoa pē;

16 Mo ratou i paopao ki aku whakaritenga, a kihai i haere i runga i aku tikanga; ko aku hapati hoki whakapokea iho e ratou; he whai no o ratou ngakau i a ratou whakapakoko.

Koeʻuhi naʻa nau paetaku ki hoku finangalo, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻalu ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, ka naʻa nau fakaʻuliʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu: he naʻe muimui honau loto ki honau ngaahi tamapua.

17 Heoi i tohungia ratou e toku kanohi, kihai i whakangaromia, kihai ano ahau i whakamoti i a ratou i te koraha.

Ka neongo ia, naʻe mamae hoku mata kiate kinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻosiʻosi ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa.

18 A i mea ahau ki a ratou tamariki i te koraha, Kaua e haere i runga i nga tikanga a o koutou matua, kaua ano e puritia a ratou whakaritenga, kei poke hoki koutou i a ratou whakapakoko.

Ka naʻaku pehē ki heʻenau fānau ʻi he toafa, ʻoua naʻa mou muimui ʻi he ngaahi fekau ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ki honau loto, pe te mou fakalieliaʻi ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻa honau ngaahi tamapua;

19 Ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua: haere i runga i aku tikanga, puritia aku whakaritenga, mahia;

Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea tauhi ki hoku finangalo ke fai ki ai;

20 Whakatapua hoki aku hapati; a ka waiho era hei tohu ki ahau, ki a koutou, kia nohio ai koutou ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

Pea fakatapui ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu; pea ʻe tuku ia ko e fakaʻilonga kiate kimoutolu mo au, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo, ko au, ko Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua.

21 Otiia kei te whakakeke nga tamariki ki ahau, kihai i haere i runga i aku tikanga, kihai hoki i pupuri i aku whakaritenga hei mahi ma ratou; ki te mahia hoki ena e te tangata, ka ai hei oranga mona; ko aku hapati hoki, whakapokea iho e ratou: na ko taku kianga ake, kia ringihia toku weriweri ki a ratou, kia whakapaua toku riri ki a ratou i te koraha.

Ka neongo ia naʻe angatuʻu ʻae fānau kiate au: naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku fekau, pe te nau tauhi ki hoku finangalo, ke fai ki ai, ʻaia ka fai ʻe he tangata, te ne moʻui moʻoni mei ai; naʻa nau fakaʻuliʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu: ko ia ne u pehē ai, te u lilingi hoku houhau kiate kinautolu, ke fai ʻeku houhau kiate kinautolu ʻi he toafa.

22 Engari ia i whakahokia iho e ahau toku ringa, a mahi ana mo toku ingoa, kei poke i te tirohanga mai a nga iwi i kite nei i taku whakaputanga i a ratou.

Ka naʻa mo ia, ne u taʻofi ki hoku nima, pea u ngāue koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa, ke ʻoua naʻa fakalieliaʻi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni, ʻakinautolu naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ʻao.

23 I ara ano toku ringa ki a ratou i te koraha, mo ratou kia whakamararatia ki roto ki nga tauiwi, kia titaria atu ki nga whenua;

Pea naʻaku hiki hake foki ʻa hoku nima kiate kinautolu ʻi he toafa, koeʻuhi ke u fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ki he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi hiteni, pea fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fonua;

24 Mo ratou kihai i mahi i aku whakaritenga; mo ratou ano i paopao ki aku tikanga, na whakapokea iho e ratou aku hapati, anga tonu ana o ratou kanohi ki nga whakapakoko a o ratou matua.

Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau fai hoku finangalo, ka naʻa nau manukiʻi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau, mo nau fakaʻuliʻi ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu, pea naʻe muimui ʻa honau mata ki he ngaahi tamapua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.

25 Na hoatu ana e ahau ki a ratou he tikanga kahore i pai, he whakaritenga e kore ai ratou e ora.

Ko ia naʻaku tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi fekau naʻe ʻikai lelei, mo e tuʻutuʻuni ʻe ʻikai te nau moʻui ai;

26 I whakapokea ano ratou e ahau ki a ratou mea homai noa, mo ta ratou meatanga i nga tamariki katoa e oroko puta mai ana i te kopu kia tika i roto i te ahi, he mea e meinga ai ratou e ahau kia noho kau noa iho, kia mohio ai ratou ko Ihowa ahau.

Pea naʻaku fakalieliaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau ngaahi feilaulau ʻanautolu, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau tuku ke ʻalu atu ʻi he afi ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei he manāva, koeʻuhi ke u fakatōkilalo ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.

27 Mo reira korero ki te whare o Iharaira, e te tama a te tangata, mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Tenei ano tetahi kohukohu a o koutou matua ki ahau, i a ratou i mahi nei i te he ki ahau.

“Ko ia, foha ʻoe tangata, lea atu ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Ko e moʻoni, ko e meʻa eni kuo takuanoa au ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, koeʻuhi kuo nau fai ʻae angahala kiate au.

28 Ka oti ratou te kawe e ahau ki te whenua i ara ai toku ringa kia hoatu a reira ki a ratou, na, ka kite ratou i tena pukepuke tiketike, i tena, i tena rakau pururu, i tena, na patua ana e ratou ki reira a ratou patunga tapu, tapaea ana e ratou ki reira te mea whakapataritari, ta ratou whakahere: mahia ana e ratou ta ratou whakakakara reka ki reira, ringihia ana e ratou ki reira a ratou ringihanga.

He naʻe hili ʻeku ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua, ʻaia naʻaku hiki hake ai hoku nima kiate kinautolu, ke u foaki ia kiate kinautolu, pea nau toki mamata ki hono ngaahi potu māʻolunga kotoa pē, mo e vao ʻakau matolu, pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻi ai ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau, pea nau fai ʻi ai ʻae fakahouhau ʻi heʻenau ngaahi feilaulau: naʻe ngaohi foki ʻi ai ʻenau fakanamu kakala, ʻonau lilingi ʻi ai ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau inu.

29 Katahi ahau ka mea ki a ratou, He aha te pukepuke tiketike e haereere atu na koutou? Heoi huaina ana te ingoa o reira ko Pama a mohoa noa nei.

Pea naʻaku toki lea kiate kinautolu, Ko e hā ʻae potu māʻolunga ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ki ai? Pea ʻoku ui ia ko Pama, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

30 Mo reira mea atu ki te whare o Iharaira, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ka whakapoke ranei koutou i a koutou, ka pera me o koutou matua? ka whai ranei koutou i a ratou mea whakarihariha moepuku ai?

“Ko ia, lea ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; kuo mou fakalielia ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou ngaahi tamai? Pea ʻoku mou fai feʻauaki ʻo hangē ko ʻenau ngaahi fakalielia?

31 I te mea hoki ka tapaea e koutou a koutou mea hoatu noa, a ka meinga a koutou tamariki kia tika na roto i te ahi, e whakapoke ana ranei koutou i a koutou ano ki a koutou whakapakoko katoa a mohoa noa nei? a me rapu tikanga mai ranei i ahau ma ko utou, e te whare o Iharaira? E ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, e kore ahau e pai kia uia e koutou.

He ka mou ka ʻatu hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau, pea ka mou ka tuku ke ʻalu atu ʻi he afi ʻa homou ngaahi foha, ʻoku mou fakalieliaʻi ʻakimoutolu mo homou ngaahi tamapua, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni: pea ʻe fakafehuʻi au ʻekimoutolu, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, ʻe ʻikai te u tali haʻamou fakafehuʻi kiate au.

32 Na, ko te mea i puta ake ki o koutou wairua e kore rawa e taea, ta koutou e ki ra, Ka rite tatou ki nga tauiwi, ki nga hapu o nga whenua, ka mahi ki te rakau, ki te kohatu.

Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi homou loto ke fai, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hoko ia, ʻaia ʻoku mou lea ʻaki, Te mau hangē ko e hiteni, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻi he ngaahi fonua, ʻoku tauhi ki he ʻakau mo e maka.

33 E ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, ina, he ringa kaha toku, he takataka maro, he weriweri kua oti te riringi atu, i ahau ka kawana nei i a koutou.

“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, te u puleʻi moʻoni ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae nima mālohi, pea mo e nima kuo mafao, mo e lilingi atu ʻoe houhau.

34 Ka tangohia mai ano koutou e ahau i roto i nga iwi, ka huihuia i nga whenua i whakamararatia atu ai koutou, he meatanga na te ringa kaha, na te takakau maro, na te weriweri kua oti te riringi atu:

Pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai, pea te u tānaki ʻakimoutolu mei he ngaahi fonua kuo mou he ki ai, ʻaki ʻae nima mālohi mo e nima kuo mafao, pea mo e lilingi atu ʻoe houhau.

35 A ka kawea koutou e ahau ki te koraha o nga iwi, a ki reira ahau whakawa ai i a koutou, he kanohi ki te kanohi.

Pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he ‘Toafa ʻoe Kakai,’ pea te ta fai mo koe ʻi ai ko e mata ki he mata.

36 Ka rite ki taku whakawa i o koutou matua i te koraha o te whenua o Ihipa; ka pena ano taku whakawa i a koutou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

Hangē ko ʻeku fai mo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻi he toafa ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻe pehē ʻa ʻeku fai mo kimoutolu,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

37 Ka meinga ano koutou e ahau kia tika i raro i te tokotoko, kia uru ki roto ki te here o te kawenata.

“Pea te u pule ke mou ʻalu atu ʻi he lolo vaʻa ʻakau, pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ke mou puke ki heʻeku fuakava:

38 Ka tahia atu hoki e ahau i roto i a koutou te hunga whakakeke, te hunga hoki e tutu ana ki ahau: ka tangohia mai ratou e ahau i te whenua e noho nei ratou, engari e kore ratou e tae ki te oneone o Iharaira: a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa, ahau.

Pea te u fakamaʻa ʻakimoutolu mei ho kau angatuʻu mo kinautolu ʻoku fai angahala kiate au: Te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ʻoku nau ʻāunofo ai, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau hū atu ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.

39 Na, ko koutou, e te whare o Iharaira, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Haere, e mahi ki tana whakapakoko, ki tana whakapakoko, i nga wa e takoto ake nei, ki te kore koutou e rongo ki ahau: kaua ia toku ingoa tapu e whakapokea i muri ki a ko utou mea homai noa, ki a koutou whakapakoko.

Pea ko e meʻa kiate kimoutolu, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻAlu ʻakimoutolu, tauhi taki taha ki hono tamapua, ʻo fai ki mui foki, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo kiate au: kaeʻoua naʻa mou toe fakalieliaʻi ʻa hoku huafa tāpuhā ʻi hoʻomou feilaulau, pea mo homou ngaahi tamapua.

40 Hei toku maunga tapu hoki hei te maunga o te tairangatanga o Iharaira, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, hei reira te whare katoa o Iharaira, ratou katoa i te whenua, mahi ai ki ahau: ko te wahi tera e manako ai ahau ki a ratou, ko te wahi tera e mea ake ai ahau ki a koutou whakahere maku, ki nga matamua o a koutou mea e tapae mai ai, ki a koutou mea tapu katoa.

Koeʻuhi ʻe tauhi au ʻe he fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi hoku moʻunga māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he moʻunga ʻoe māʻolunga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: te u maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻi ai, pea te u ʻamanaki ʻi ai ki hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau, mo e ʻinasi mei hoʻomou meʻa foaki, mo hoʻomou meʻa māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.

41 Ka manako ahau ki a koutou, ano he whakakakara reka, ina tangohia mai koutou e ahau i roto i nga iwi, ina huihuia mai i nga whenua i whakamararatia atu ai koutou; a ka ai koutou hei whakatapu moku i te tirohanga a nga iwi.

Te u maʻu ʻakimoutolu mo hoʻomou namu kakala, ʻo kau ka ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai, pea tānaki ʻakimoutolu mei he ngaahi fonua ʻaia kuo mou hē ki ai, pea ʻe fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi au ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni.

42 Na ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau, ina kawea koutou e ahau ki te oneone o Iharaira, ki te whenua i ara ai toku ringa kia hoatu a reira ki o koutou matua.

Pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka toe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he fonua ko ia, naʻaku hiki hake ai hoku nima, ke foaki ia ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.

43 Ka mahara ano koutou i reira ki o koutou ara, ki a koutou mahi katoa i poke ai koutou; a ka whakarihariha koutou ki a koutou, ki ta koutou ake titiro, mo nga mea kikino katoa i mahia e koutou.

Pea te mou manatu ʻi ai ki homou ngaahi hala, pea mo hoʻomou faianga, ʻaia kuo mou fakalielia ai; pea te mou fehiʻa kiate kimoutolu ʻi homou ʻao pe ʻomoutolu, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi kovi ʻaia kuo mou fai.

44 A ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau, ina ngana ahau ki a koutou, he mea mo toku ingoa, kahore ano ia e rite ki o koutou ara kino, ki a koutou mahi he ranei, e te whare o Iharaira, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

Pea te mou ʻilo, ko au, ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka ngāue kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa, ka ʻe ʻikai ke hangē ko homou ngaahi hala kovi, pe hangē ko hoʻomou fai fakalielia, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”

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

Pea naʻe hoko mai foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

46 E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tou mata whaka te tonga, kia maturuturu atu ano tau kupu whaka te tonga, poropititia he he mo te ngahere o te parae ki te tonga.

“Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahanga ho mata ki he feituʻu tonga, pea tuku hoʻo lea ki he feituʻu tonga, pea ke kikite ki he vao ʻakau ʻoe ngoue ʻi he feituʻu tonga;

47 Mea atu hoki ki te ngahere i te tonga, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa; Ko te kupu tenei a te ariki, a Ihowa, Ka whakaungia e ahau he ahi i roto i a koe, a ka pau nga rakau matomato katoa i roto i a koe, me nga rakau maroke katoa; e kore te mura e tineia, ka mura tonu, ka wera ano nga kanohi katoa i reira, i te tonga tae noa ki te raki.

Pea lea ki he vao ʻakau ʻi he feituʻu tonga, Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova; ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, te u tutu ʻae afi ʻiate koe, pea ʻe maumau ai ʻae ʻakau mata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate koe, mo e ʻakau mōmoa kotoa pē; ʻe ʻikai fuʻifuʻi ʻae afi ulo, pea ʻe mangia ai ʻae mata kotoa pē, mei he feituʻu tonga ʻo ʻalu ki he tokelau.

48 A ka kite nga kikokiko katoa, naku, na Ihowa i whakau: e kore e tineia.

Pea ʻe mamata ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ko au, ko Sihova, kuo tutu ia; pea ʻe ʻikai fuʻifuʻi ia.”

49 Ano ra ko ahau, Aue, e te Ariki, e Ihowa! e mea ana ratou ki ahau, he teka ianei he korero whakatauki ana e korero nei?

Pea naʻaku toki pehē ai, “ʻOiauē, ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua! ʻOku nau pehē kiate au, ‘ʻIkai ʻoku lea ia ʻi he fakatātā pe?’”
