Te Hokinga o ngā Tuākana o Hōhepa me Pineamine ki Īhipa
1Ā, he tino nui te matekai o te whenua. 2Ā, ka pau te wīti i maua mai e rātou i Īhipa, nā, ka mea tō rātou pāpā ki a rātou, “Hoki atu ki te hoko i tētahi wāhi kai mā tātou.”
3Ā, ka kōrero a Hūrā ki a ia, ka mea, “I tino whakatūpato taua tangata i a mātou, i mea, ‘E kore koutou e kite i tōku mata ki te kāhore tō koutou teina i a koutou.’ 4Ki te tukua e koe tō mātou teina hei hoa mō mātou, ka haere mātou ki raro ki te hoko kai māu. 5Ki te kāhore ia e tukua e koe, e kore mātou e haere ki raro. Nō te mea i kī mai taua tangata ki a mātou, ‘E kore koutou e kite i tōku mata ki te kāhore tō koutou teina i a koutou.’ ”
6Nā, ka mea a Īharaira, “He aha koutou i ngārahu kino ai ki ahau, i whakaatu ai ki taua tangata he teina anō tō koutou?”
7Ā, ka mea rātou, “I tino ui taua tangata ki ō mātou āhua, ki ō mātou whanaunga hoki, i mea mai, ‘E ora ana anō rānei tō koutou pāpā? Tēnā anō rānei tētahi atu teina o koutou?’ Ā, rite tonu ki ēnei kupu tā mātou i kōrero ai ki a ia; tērā rānei mātou e āta mōhio ka kī mai ia, ‘Kawea mai tō koutou teina ki raro nei’?”
8Nā, ka mea a Hūrā ki tōna pāpā, ki a Īharaira, “Tukua te tamaiti ki ahau, ā, ka whakatika mātou, ka haere; kia ora ai tātou, kei mate tahi hoki mātou me koe, me ā mātou pōtiki. 9Ko ahau hei utu mōna; me rapu ia e koe i tōku ringa. Ki te kāhore ahau e kawe mai i a ia ki a koe, e whakatū hoki i a ia ki tōu aroaro, nā, hei whakahēnga ahau māu i ngā rā katoa. 10Me i kāhore hoki mātou i roa nei, kua rua ēnei hokinga mai o mātou ināianei.”
11Kātahi ka mea a Īharaira, tō rātou pāpā ki a rātou, “Ki te mea rā he pēnei te hanga, ko tēnei tā koutou e mea ai: maua atu ētahi o ngā hua papai o te whenua i roto i ā koutou oko, kawea atu hoki he hākari ki raro, ki taua tangata – tētahi wāhi pama, me tētahi wāhi honi, ētahi paihe, me ētahi maira, ētahi nati, me ētahi aramona. 12Kia takirua hoki ngā hiriwa e maua atu i roto i ō koutou ringa; ko te moni hoki i whakahokia mai i te waha o ā koutou pēke, me whakahoki atu anō tēnā i roto i ō koutou ringa; he pōhēhē noa pea tēnā. 13Kawea atu anō hoki tō koutou teina, ā, whakatika, hoki atu anō ki taua tangata. 14Ā, mā te Atua Kaha Rawa e tuku mai ki a koutou kia arohaina mai e taua tangata, kia tonoa mai anō e ia tērā tuakana o koutou, rāua ko Pineamine. Ko ahau hoki, ki te whakapania ahau, ka whakapania ahau.”
15Nā, ka mau aua tāngata ki taua hākari, e rua hoki ngā moni i maua atu e rātou i roto i ō rātou ringa, me Pineamine hoki; ā, whakatika ana rātou, haere ana ki raro, ki Īhipa, ā, ka tū ki te aroaro o Hōhepa. 16Ā, ka kitea a Pineamine e Hōhepa i roto i a rātou, nā, ka mea ia ki te kaitohutohu o tōna whare, “Kawea ēnā tāngata ki te whare, patua he kai, takā hoki; ka kai tahi hoki mātou ko ēnā tāngata ina tū te rā.”
17Nā, ka meatia e taua tangata tā Hōhepa i kī ai; ā, ka kawea aua tāngata e taua tangata ki te whare o Hōhepa. 18Nā, ka wehi aua tāngata, mō rātou i kawea ki te whare o Hōhepa; ā, ka mea rātou, “Mō te moni i whakahokia i roto i ā tātou pēke i te haerenga tuatahi i kawea mai ai tātou; kia whai take mai ai ia ki a tātou, mō tāna rere mai ki a tātou ki te tango i a tātou hei pononga, me ā tātou kāihe hoki.”
19Nā, ka whakatata rātou ki te kaitohutohu o te whare o Hōhepa, ka kōrero ki a ia i te kūwaha o te whare, 20ka mea, “E te ariki, i haere mai anō mātou i mua ki te hoko kai. 21Ā, nō tō mātou taenga ki te whare tira, i tā mātou whakatuwheratanga i ā mātou pēke, nā, ko te moni a tēnei, a tēnei, i te waha o tāna pēke, tā mātou moni, rite tonu te taimaha; ā, kua whakahokia mai taua mea e mātou i roto i ō mātou ringa. 22Kua kawea mai anō e mātou i roto i ō mātou ringa tētahi atu moni hei hoko kai. Kāhore mātou e mōhio nā wai rānei i maka ā mātou moni ki ā mātou pēke.”
23Ā, ka mea ia, “Kia tau te rangimārie ki a koutou, kaua e wehi. Nā tō koutou Atua, nā te Atua hoki o tō koutou pāpā i hōmai he taonga ki a koutou ki roto ki ā koutou pēke. I tae mai anō tā koutou moni ki ahau.” Ā, ka kawea e ia a Himiona ki a rātou.
24Nā, ka kawe taua tangata i aua tāngata ki te whare o Hōhepa, ka hoatu e ia he wai hei horoi mō ō rātou waewae; i hoatu anō e ia he kai mā ā rātou kāihe. 25Nā, ka takā e rātou te hākari mō te taenga mai o Hōhepa i te awatea; i rongo hoki rātou me kai taro rātou ki reira. 26Ā, i te taenga mai o Hōhepa ki te whare, ka kawea e rātou ki a ia te hākari a ō rātou ringa ki te whare, ā, ka piko ki a ia ki te whenua. 27Nā, ka ui ia ki a rātou ki te pai, ka mea, “Kei te pai rānei tō koutou pāpā, te koroheke i kōrerotia mai rā e koutou? E ora ana anō rānei ia?”
28Ā, ka mea rātou ki a ia, “Kei te pai tāu pononga, tō mātou pāpā, e ora ana anō ia.” Nā, ka tuohu rātou, ka piko iho.
29Ka maranga tōna kanohi, ka kite ia i a Pineamine, i tōna teina, i te tama a tōna whaea, ā, ka mea, “Ko tō koutou teina tēnei, ko te whakaotinga i kōrerotia rā e koutou ki ahau?” I mea anō ia, “Kia aroha te Atua ki a koe, e tāku tama.” 30Nā, ka hohoro a Hōhepa; he tokonga ake hoki nō tōna ngākau aroha ki tōna teina; ā, ka rapua e ia tētahi wāhi hei tangihanga. Ā, haere ana ia ki te rūma i roto, ki reira tangi ai.
31Nā, ka horoia e ia tōna mata, ka puta ki waho, ka whakamanawanui, ka mea, “Whakatakotoria he taro.”
32Nā, ka whakatakotoria e rātou, māna ki a ia anake, mā rātou ki a rātou anake, mā ngā Īhipiana, i kai tahi me ia, ki a rātou anake. E kore hoki e āhei i ngā Īhipiana te kai taro tahi me ngā Hiperu; he mea whakarihariha hoki tēnā ki ngā Īhipiana. 33Nā, ka noho rātou ki tōna aroaro, tō mua rite tonu anō ki tōna muanga, tō muri rite tonu anō ki tōna muringa; ā, mīharo ana aua tāngata tētahi ki tētahi. 34Nā, ka tuwhaina atu e ia ētahi o ngā wāhi i tōna aroaro mā rātou. He nui rawa ia te wāhi i a Pineamine; me i takirimatia te wāhi a tētahi o rātou kua rite ki tāna. Nā, ka inu rātou, ka koa tahi me ia.
