Kaiwhakariterite 7
1 Na ka maranga wawe a Ierupaara, ara a Kiriona, ratou ko tona nuinga katoa, a noho ana i te puna o Haroro; a i te taha ki te raki o ratou te puni o Miriana, i te puke o More, i te raorao.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Selupeali, ʻaia ko Kitione, mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻonau ʻapitanga fakataha ʻi he veʻe vai ʻo Haloti: pea naʻe ʻi he potu tokelau ʻae tau lahi ʻoe kakai Mitiane, ʻo ofi ki he tafungofunga ʻo Mole, ʻi he teleʻa.
2 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Kiriona, He nui rawa te iwi i a koe nei hei hoatutanga maku i nga Miriani ki o ratou ringa, kei whakapehapeha a Iharaira ki ahau, kei mea, Na toku ringa ake ahau i whakaora.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Kitione, “Ko e kakai ʻoku ʻiate koe kuo tokolahi fau, ke tuku ki honau nima ʻae kakai Mitiane, telia naʻa vikiviki ai ʻa ʻIsileli kiate au, ʻo pehē, Ko hoku nima pē ʻoʻoku kuo ne fakamoʻui au.
3 Na, tena, karanga ki nga taringa o te iwi, mea atu, Ki te wehi, ki te pawera tetahi, hoki atu, hohoro te haere atu i Maunga Kireara. Na e rua tekau ma rua mano o te iwi i hoki; a mahue iho, kotahi tekau mano.
Pea ko eni, ke ke ʻalu, pea kalanga ʻi he telinga ʻoe kakai, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ia fulipē ʻoku vaivai mo manavahē, ke foki ia ʻo ʻalu vave mei he moʻunga ko Kiliati.’” Pea naʻe foki ʻo ʻalu ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko ua afe ʻoe kakai; pea naʻe toe ʻae toko mano.
4 I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Kiriona, He nui rawa ano te iwi na; kawea ratou ki raro, ki te wai, a ko ahau hei kaiwhakamatautau mau i a ratou ki reira: a ko taku e mea ai ki a koe, Me haere tahi tenei i a koe; ko ia e haere tahi i a koe; a ko taku e me a ai ki a koe, E kore tenei e haere tahi i a koe; kaua tena e haere.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Kitione, “ʻOku kei tokolahi fau ʻae kakai: ke ke ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he vai, pea te u ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi ai maʻau: pea ʻe pehē, ko ia ʻoku ou pehē ai kiate koe, Ko eni ia ʻe ʻalu mo koe, ko ia ia te mo ō: pea ko ia fulipē ʻoku ou pehē ai kiate koe, Ko eni ia ʻe ʻikai ʻalu mo koe, ko ia ia ʻe ʻikai te mo ō.”
5 Na ko tana kawenga i te iwi ki raro, ki te wai, a ka mea a Ihowa ki Kiriona, Ko te hunga katoa e mitikia ai te wai ki o ratou arero, pera me te kuri e miti nei, me whakatu ratou ki tahaki me te hunga katoa ano e tuturi ana ki te inu.
Ko ia ne ʻave ʻae kakai ki he vai pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Kitione, “Ko ia fulipē ʻoku ʻemo ʻae vai ʻaki hono ʻelelo, ʻo hangē ko e ʻemo ʻae kulī, te ke tuku kehe ia: pea ʻe pehē mo ia fulipē ʻoku punou ʻo tūʻulutui ki hono tui ke inu.”
6 A, ko te tokomaha o te hunga i mitimiti, me te pa ano o o ratou ringa ki o ratou mangai, e toru rau tangata: i tuturi ia te nuinga katoa o te iwi ki te inu i te wai.
Pea ko hono lau ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻemo, ʻo ʻai honau nima ki honau ngutu, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko tolungeau: ka ko hono toe ʻoe kakai kotoa pē naʻe punou hifo ki honau tui ke inu ʻae vai.
7 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Kiriona, Ma nga rau tangata e toru i mitimiti ra e whakaora ai ahau i a koutou, e hoatu ai hoki nga Miriani ki tou ringa; a kia haere te iwi katoa, tera, ki tona wahi.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Kitione, “ʻI he kau tangata ʻe toko tolungeau ʻaia naʻe ʻemo te u fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu, pea te u tukuange ʻae kakai Mitiane ki ho nima: pea tuku ʻae kakai kehe kotoa pē kenau ʻalu taki taha ki hono potu.”
8 Na ka mauria e te iwi he o ki o ratou ringa, me a ratou tetere: ko te nuinga ia o Iharaira i tonoa e ia ki tona teneti, ki tona teneti, a puritia ana aua tangata e toru ra: na i raro i a ia te puni o Miriana, i te raorao.
Ko ia naʻe toʻo ai ʻe he kakai ʻae meʻakai ʻi honau nima, mo ʻenau meʻalea: pea ne fekau hono toe ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono fale fehikitaki, kae taʻofi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolungeau ko ia: pea naʻe ʻi lalo ʻiate ia ʻae tau lahi ʻo Mitiane ʻi he teleʻa.
9 Na i taua po ano ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Whakatika, haere ki raro, ki te puni ra, kua hoatu hoki e ahau ki tou ringa.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he pō ko ia, naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Tuʻu hake, pea ke ʻalu hifo ki [honau ]matatau; he kuo u tukuange ia ki ho nima.
10 A ki te wehi koe ki te haere ki raro, haere korua ko Pura, ko tau tangata, ki raro ki te puni.
Pea kapau ʻoku ke manavahē ke ʻalu hifo, mo ō mo Fiula ko ho tauhi ki he tau lahi:
11 A ka rongo koe ki a ratou korero, muri iho ka maia ou ringa, a ka haere koe ki raro, ki te puni. Na ko to raua haerenga atu ko tana tangata, ko Pura, ki te hiku o nga matua o te puni.
Pea ke fanongo ki he meʻa ʻoku nau lau: pea hili ia ʻe mālohi ho nima ke ke ʻalu hifo ai ki he tau.” Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ia mo Fiula ko hono tauhi ki he potu ʻituʻa ʻi he kau tangata toʻo mahafutau naʻe ʻi he tau.
12 A e takoto haere ana i te raorao nga Miriani, ratou ko nga Amareki, me nga tamariki katoa o te rawhiti, kei te manawhitiwhiti te tokomaha; me a ratou kamera, kahore e taea te tatau; rite tahi ki te onepu i te taha o te moana te tokomaha.
Pea naʻe mafola atu ʻi he teleʻa ʻae kakai Mitiane, mo e kakai ʻAmaleki, mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻoe potu hahake ʻo hangē ko e fanga heʻe hono toko lahi: pea ko ʻenau fanga kāmeli naʻe taʻefaʻalaua, ʻo hangē ko hono lahi ʻoe ʻoneʻone ʻi he matātahi.
13 A, no te taenga atu o Kiriona, na e korero ana tetahi i te moe ki tona hoa, e mea ana, Nana, moe iho ahau, he keke taro pare e takahuri mai ana ki te puni o Miriana. Na kua tae mai ki te teneti; kua aki atu; na kua hinga, kua huri koaro, a takot o ana te teneti.
Pea ʻi he hoko ki ai ʻa Kitione, vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata naʻe fakahā ʻene misi ki hono tokoua, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ne u misi ʻae misi, pea vakai, naʻe tō mai ha foʻi mā paʻale ki he tau lahi ʻo Mitiane, pea naʻe lave ia ki ha fale fehikitaki, pea holo ai, ʻo fulihi, pea naʻe holo ki lalo ʻae fale.”
14 Na ka utu tona hoa, ka mea, Ehara tena i te mea ke atu i te hoari a Kiriona tama a Ioaha, he tangata no Iharaira: kua hoatu e te Atua a Miriana me te ope katoa ki tona ringa.
Pea naʻe lea hono tokoua, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa kehe eni, ka ko e heletā ʻa Kitione ko e foha ʻo Soasi, ko e tangata ʻIsileli: he kuo tuku ki hono nima ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Mitiane, mo e tau kotoa pē.”
15 A, i te rongonga o Kiriona i te korerotanga o te moe, i tona tikanga, na ka koropiko ia, a hoki ana ki te puni o Iharaira, ka mea, Whakatika, kua homai hoki e te Atua te ope o Miriana ki o koutou ringa.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Kitione ki he fakahā ʻae misi, mo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia, pea pehē, naʻe hū ia, pea toe liu atu ki he tau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē, “Tuʻu hake he kuo tuku ʻe Sihova ki homou nima ʻae tau lahi ʻo Mitiane.”
16 Katahi ka wehea e ia nga tangata e toru rau, kia toru nga matua, a whakawhiwhia ana e ia nga ringa o ratou katoa ki te tetere, ki te oko tahanga, ki te rama i roto i te oko.
Pea naʻa ne vahe tolu ʻae kau tangata ʻe tolungeau ki he vāhenga kongakau ʻe tolu, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae meʻalea ʻi he nima ʻoe tangata kotoa pē, mo e ngeʻesi ipu, mo e maama ʻi he loto ipu.
17 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Me titiro mai ki ahau, a kia rite ta koutou ki taku; na, e tae ahau ki te wahi i waho rawa o te puni, ko taku e mea ai, kia pera hoki koutou.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Sio mai kiate au, pea faʻifaʻitaki mai: pea vakai, ʻo kau ka hoko ki he potu ʻituʻa ʻoe ʻapitanga, pea ʻe pehē, ko ia te u fai ʻeau, ʻe pehē pe hoʻomou fai.
18 Ka whakatangi ahau i te tetere, matou ko oku hoa katoa, me whakatangi hoki koutou i nga tetere i nga taha katoa o te puni, me te karanga ano, Ko te hoari a Ihowa, a Kiriona.
ʻO kau ka ifi ʻeau ʻae meʻalea, ʻeau mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate au, mou ifi meʻalea ʻakimoutolu foki ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoe ʻapitanga kotoa pē, ʻo lea pehē, ‘[Ko e heletā ]ʻa Sihova, pea mo Kitione.’”
19 Na ka tae a Kiriona me te rau tangata i a ia ki te wahi i waho rawa o te puni, i te timatanga o to waenga mataaratanga, i te mea katahi ano ka whakaturia atu nga kaimataara: na whakatangihia ana e ratou nga tetere, a wahia iho nga oko i o ratou ringa.
Ko ia naʻe hoko ʻa Kitione mo e kau tangata ʻe toko teau naʻe ʻiate ia, ki he tuʻa ʻapitanga ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe lakanga leʻo tuʻuapō: pea kuo nau toki fakanofo ʻae kau leʻo pea naʻa nau ifi ʻae ngaahi meʻalea, pea maumau ʻae ngaahi ipu naʻe ʻi honau nima.
20 A whakatangihia ana hoki nga tetere e nga matua e toru, wahia iho nga oko, i puritia ano nga rama ki o ratou ringa maui, me nga tetere ki o ratou ringa matau whakatangi ai; me ta ratou karanga hoki, Ko te hoari a Ihowa, a Kiriona.
Pea naʻe ifi meʻalea ʻe he kongakau ʻe tolu, pea maumau ʻenau ngaahi ipu, kae puke ʻae ngaahi maama ʻi honau nima, mo e meʻalea honau nima toʻomataʻu ke ifi ʻaki: pea naʻa nau kalanga, “Ko e heletā ʻa Sihova, pea mo Kitione.”
21 Na tu ana ratou i tona turanga, i tona turanga, taiawhio noa te puni: a ka rere katoa te puni; a ko to ratou hamamatanga, na ko te whatinga.
Pea naʻa nau tuʻu ʻae tangata taki taha ʻi hono potu ʻo takatakai ʻi he ʻapitanga: pea naʻe feleleʻi ʻae tau kotoa pē, pea tangi, mo hola.
22 I whakatangihia hoki e ratou nga tetere e toru rau, a meinga ana e Ihowa kia anga te hoari a tenei tangata, a tenei tangata, ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa, ki te ope katoa ano hoki: a ka whati te ope tae noa ki Petehita e ahu atu ana ki Tererara, tae noa ki te rohe o Aperemehora, e tata ana ki Tapata.
Pea naʻe ifi ʻaki ʻae meʻalea ʻe he toko tolungeau, pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ke ʻai ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻene heletā ki hono tokoua ʻi he tau kotoa pē: pea naʻe hola ʻae tau ki Pete-Sita ʻi Selelati, pea ki he potu ʻo ʻEpeli-Mihola, ʻo aʻu ki Tapati.
23 Katahi ka huihuia nga tangata o Iharaira, i roto i a Napatari, i a Ahera, i a Manahi katoa, a whaia ana a Miriana e ratou.
Pea naʻe fakataha ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli mei Nafitali, pea mei ʻAseli, pea mei Manase kotoa pē, ʻonau tuli ki he kakai Mitiane.
24 A i tono karere a Kiriona puta noa i te whenua pukepuke katoa o Eparaima hei mea, Haere mai ki raro ki te whawhai ki a Miriana; tangohia hoki nga wai i mua i a ratou, a puta noa ki Petepara ki Horano. Na ka huihui nga tangata katoa o Eparaima, a tangohia ana nga wai, a puta noa ki Petepara ki Horano.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Kitione ʻae kau talafekau ki he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻoe moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ʻo pehē, “Mou ʻalu hifo ʻo tauʻi ʻae kakai Mitiane pea muʻomuʻa atu ke maʻu ʻiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo aʻu ki Petepala mo Sioatani.”
25 A tokorua nga rangatira o Miriana i mau i a ratou, ko Orepe raua ko Teepe; a patua iho e ratou a Orepe ki te kamaka a Orepe, i patua hoki a Teepe ki te poka waina a Teepe, a whaia ana e ratou a Miriana, a kawea ana e ratou nga matenga o Orepe ra ua ko Teepe ki a Kiriona ki tawahi o Horano.
Pea naʻa nau fakapōpula ʻae houʻeiki ʻe toko ua ʻoe kakai Mitiane, ko Olepi mo Siipi; pea nau tāmateʻi ʻa Olepi ʻi he fungamaka ko Olepi, pea nau tāmateʻi ʻa Siipi ʻi he tataʻoʻanga uaine ʻo Siipi, ʻonau tuli ʻa Mitiane, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ʻulu ʻo Olepi mo Siipi kia Kitione, ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.
