Heremaia 23

1 Aue, te mate mo nga hepara e whakakorekore nei, e whakamarara nei i aku hipi i hepara ai, e ai ta Ihowa.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE malaʻia ʻae kau tauhi ʻaia ʻoku fakaʻauha mo fakamovetevete ʻae fanga sipi ʻo ʻeku ngoue!

2 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira mo nga hepara e whangai nei i taku iwi, Kua whakamararatia e koutou aku hipi, aia atu ana ratou, kihai hoki i tirotirohia e koutou; nana, ka whiua koutou e ahau mo te kino o a koutou mahi, e ai ta Ihowa.

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.

3 A ka huihuia mai e ahau nga toenga o aku hipi i nga whenua katoa i peia atu ai ratou e ahau, ka whakahokia mai hoki ratou ki o ratou puninga, a ka hua ratou, ka tini.

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.

4 A ka whakaarahia ake e ahau etahi kepara mo ratou, mana ratou e whangai: a e kore ratou e wehi a muri ake nei, e kore e pawera, e kore hoki tetahi e ngaro atu, e ai ta Ihowa.

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.”

5 Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e whakaarahia ai e ahau he Manga tika mo Rawiri, a ka kingi ia, he kingi, a ka mahi i runga i te whakaaro nui, ka whakarite hoki i te whakawa, i te tika ki te whenua.

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.

6 I ona ra ka whakaorangia a Hura, ka noho humarie a Iharaira: a ko tona ingoa tenei e karangatia ai ia, Ko Ihowa to tatou tika.

‌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.

7 No reira, na, kei te haere mai 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;

“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.

8 Engari, E ora ana a Ihowa nana nei i kawe mai, nana nei i arahi mai nga uri o te whare o Iharaira i te whenua ki te raki, i nga whenua katoa ano i peia atu ai ratou e ahau; a ka noho ratou ki to ratou oneone.

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.”

9 Na mo nga poropiti. Kei te maru toku ngakau i roto i ahau, ngaueue ana oku wheua katoa; e rite ana ahau ki te tangata haurangi, ki te tangata kua mate i te waina; he whakaaro hoki ki a Ihowa, he whakaaro ki ana kupu tapu.

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.

10 Kei te kapi hoki te whenua i te tangata puremu; kei te tangi hoki te whenua, he mea mo te kanga; kua maroke nga wahi kai o te koraha; a ko to ratou rerenga he kino, ko to ratou kaha, kahore i tika.

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.

11 No te mea ko te poropiti, ko te tohunga, kua poke ngatahi raua: ae ra, kua kitea e ahau to ratou kino i roto i toku whare, e ai ta Ihowa.

“He ʻoku halaia ʻae palōfita mo e taulaʻeiki fakatouʻosi; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻenau kovi ʻi hoku fale.

12 Mo reira ka rite to ratou ara ki a ratou ki nga wahi pahekeheke i roto i te pouri: ka aia atu ratou, a ka taka ki reira: ka kawea atu hoki e ahau he kino ki runga ki a ratou, ko te tau hoki e tirotirohia ai ratou, e ai ta Ihowa.

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:

13 A kua kite ahau i te wairangi i roto i nga poropiti o Hamaria; na Paara ta ratou poropititanga, a whakapohehetia ana e ratou taku iwi, a Iharaira.

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.

14 Kei nga poropiti ano hoki o Hiruharama, kua kitea e ahau tetahi mea whakahouhou rawa; e puremu ana ratou, a ka haere i runga i te teka, a e whakakahangia ana e ratou nga ringa o nga kaimahi o te kino, e kore rawa ai tetahi e tahuri mai i tona ki no; ki ahau kua rite ratou katoa ki Horoma, a ko nga tangata o reira, koia ano kei o Komora.

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.

15 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano mo nga poropiti: Nana, ka whangaia ratou e ahau ki te taru kawa, a ka whakainumia ratou ki te wai kawa: no te mea i ahau atu i nga poropiti o Hiruharama te takahi tapu puta noa i te whenua katoa.

“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.”

16 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Kei whakarongo ki nga kupu a nga poropiti e poropiti na ki a koutou: e ako ana ratou i a koutou ki te wairangi: e korero ana ratou i te kite a to ratou ake ngakau, a ehara i te mea na te mangai o Ihowa.

‌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.

17 E mea tonu ana ratou ki te hunga e whakahawea ana ki ahau, Kua ki mai a Ihowa, Ka mau te rongo ki a koutou; a, ki te hunga katoa e haere ana i runga i nga tikanga pakeke o o ratou ngakau, e mea ana ratou, E kore te kino e tae mai ki a koutou.

‌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.”

18 Ko wai oti i tu i runga i to Ihowa whakaaro, e kite ai, e rongo ai ranei ki tana kupu? ko wai i mahara ki taku kupu, i rongo hoki?

“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?

19 Nana, kua puta te tukauati i a Ihowa, koia ano ko tona riri, ae ra, he tukauati powaiwai: tera e pakaru ki runga ki te upoko o te hunga kino.

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.

20 E kore e hoki to Ihowa riri, kia oti ra ano, kia whakapumautia ra ano e ia nga whakaaro o tona ngakau: i nga ra whakamutunga ka tino marama koutou.

‌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.”

21 Kihai ahau i unga i enei poropiti, heoi rere ana ratou; kihai ahau i korero ki a ratou, heoi kei te poropiti ratou.

Naʻe ʻikai te u fekau ʻae kau palōfita na, ka naʻa nau lele: naʻe ʻikai te u lea kiate kinautolu, ka kuo nau kikite.

22 Otiia me i tu ratou i runga i toku whakaaro, kua meinga e ratou taku iwi kia rongo ki aku kupu, kua whakahokia mai e ratou i to ratou ara kino, i te kino hoki o a ratou mahi.

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.”

23 He Atua tata ianei ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, a ehara i te Atua i tawhiti?

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko e ʻOtua au ʻoe ofi pe, pea ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ʻoe mamaʻo foki?

24 E taea ranei e tetahi te huna i a ia ki nga wahi ngaro, e kore ai ia e kitea e ahau? e ai ta Ihowa. He teka ianei kapi tonu i ahau te rangi me te whenua? e ai ta Ihowa.

‌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?

25 Kua rongo ahau i nga kupu a nga poropiti, e poropiti teka na i runga i toku ingoa, e mea na, He moe naku, he moe naku.

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.

26 Kia pehea te roa o te mau o tenei i roto i te ngakau o nga poropiti, e poropiti teka na; ara o nga poropiti, e poropiti na i te tinihanga o to ratou ngakau?

‌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;

27 E whakaaro na, ma a ratou moe e korerotia na e ratou ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa, ka meinga ai taku iwi kia wareware ki toku ingoa, kia pera me o ratou matua i wareware nei ki toku ingoa, i mea nei ki a Paara.

‌ʻAkinautolu ni ʻoku fie fakangaloʻi fakangaloʻi hoku huafa ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamai koeʻuhi ko Peali.

28 Ko te poropiti he moe nei tana, me korero e ia te moe; a ko te tangata i a ia taku kupu, kia pono tana korero i taku kupu. He aha oti ta te papapa ki te witi? e ai ta Ihowa.

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?

29 He teka ianei e rite ana taku kupu ki te ahi? e ai ta Ihowa; ki te hama e wahi nei i te kamaka a mongamonga noa?

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; ʻIkai ʻoku tatau ʻeku folofola mo e afi? Pea hangē ko e hamala ke tā mo laiki ʻaki ʻae maka?

30 Mo reira, na, hei hoariri ahau mo nga poropiti, e ai ta Ihowa, e tahae nei i aku kupu i tona hoa, i tona hoa.

Ko ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki he palōfita, ʻoku nau taki taha kaihaʻa ʻeku lea mei hono kaungāʻapi

31 Nana, hei hoariri ahau mo nga poropiti, e ai ta Ihowa, mo te hunga e whakamahi nei i o ratou arero, e ki nei, E mea ana ia.

‌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.

32 Nana, hei hoariri ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, mo te hunga e poropiti ana i nga moe teka, a korerotia ana e ratou, whakapohehetia ana e ratou taku iwi ki a ratou korero teka, ki ta ratou whakapehapeha wairangi: otiia ehara ratou i ahau i unga, i whakaha u ranei; e kore rawa hoki tenei iwi e whai pai i a ratou, e ai ta Ihowa.

‌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.”

33 A, ki te ui tenei iwi, ki a koe, te poropiti, te tohunga ranei, ki te mea, Tena koa ta Ihowa pikaunga? katahi koe ka ki atu ki a ratou, E tae te pikaunga! Ka maka atu koutou e ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.

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.’

34 Na, ko te poropiti, ko te tohunga, ko te iwi ranei, e mea ana, Ko te pikaunga a Ihowa, ka whiua e ahau taua tangata, ratou ko tona whare.

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.’

35 Ko te kupu tenei ma koutou ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa, ki tona teina, ki tona tuakana, Tena koa te kupu i whakahokia mai e Ihowa? a, I pehea mai a Ihowa?

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?’

36 Kati hoki ta koutou whakahua i te pikaunga a Ihowa; no te mea ko te kupu ake a tenei, a tenei hei pikaunga mana; kua whakarereketia hoki e koutou nga kupu a te Atua, ora, a Ihowa o nga mano, a to tatou Atua.

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.

37 Ko tau tenei e korero atu ai ki te poropiti, He aha te whakautu a Ihowa ki a koe? ko tenei hoki, I pehea mai a Ihowa?

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?’

38 Engari ki te mea koutou, Ko te pikaunga a Ihowa; na ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa; Mo ta koutou korero i tena kupu, Ko te pikaunga a Ihowa, a kua unga tangata ahau ki a koutou, hei mea, Kaua koutou e ki, Ko te pikaunga a Ihowa;

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?’

39 Mo reira, na, ka wareware rawa ahau ki a koutou, ka akiritia atu ano koutou i toku aroaro, me te pa i hoatu e ahau ki a koutou ko o koutou matua.

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:

40 Ka utaina hoki e ahau he ingoa kino ki runga ki a koutou, he mea mau tonu, he whakama hoki e mau tonu ana, a e kore e wareware.

Pea te u fakaongoongo koviʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻo taʻengata, pea fakatupu kiate kimoutolu ʻae mā ʻo taʻengata, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai fakangalongaloʻi.”
