No ka mea, inā ʻaʻole i makemake ke Akua e hana i kēia ma ka puka ʻana o ka ʻelele, a laila ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻōla ʻia kekahi i ko mākou hele ʻana maoli, ʻo ia hoʻi ma ka manaʻoʻiʻo a mākou e kū nei a ma laila mākou i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia mai waena aku o ka poʻe pegana. No ka mea, no ka waiwai uuku a nui paha kakou a pau, i loaa ia kakou "mai ka mamona o ka pono ole." No ka mea, ma hea e loaa mai ai na hale a makou e noho nei, na lole e uhi ai ia makou iho, na ipu a makou e hoohana ai, a me na mea a pau e pono ai ko makou ola ana i kela la i keia la, ina aole mai ka mea mai, he poe pegana, i loaa mai ai ia makou mailoko mai o ko makou noho ana. a i ʻole i loaʻa mai i ko mākou mau mākua pegana? , hoahanau a makamaka paha, i loaa mai ma ka oiaio ole? – ʻAʻole au e ʻōlelo ua loaʻa iā mākou i kēia manawa ua lilo mākou i poʻe manaʻoʻiʻo. ʻO wai ka mea kūʻai aku a makemake ʻole e loaʻa kālā mai ka mea kūʻai mai? A ʻo wai ka mea kūʻai a makemake ʻole. e kūʻai pono i kekahi mea mai ka mea kūʻai aku? ʻO wai ka mea hana ʻoihana i hana i kāna ʻoihana ʻaʻole i mea e ʻai ai ma ia? ʻAʻole anei e hoʻolako ka poʻe ma ka hale aliʻi i ka waiwai o Kaisara, ʻaʻole anei e hoʻolako kēlā mea kēia mea o lākou i ka poʻe ʻilihune, e like me kona hiki? Ua aie ko Aigupita i na kanaka (Iudaio), e like me ka maikai o ka makua o Iosepa mamua, aole me ko lakou waiwai wale no, aka, me ko lakou ola pu kekahi; a he aha ka aie o ka poe pegana ia kakou, i loaa mai ai ia kakou ka waiwai a me ka pomaikai? ʻO ka mea i loaʻa iā lākou me ka pilikia, hoʻohana mākou me ka pilikia ʻole.
2. A hiki i ia manawa, ua hookauwa kaumaha loa ko Aigupita, e like me ka ka palapala hemolele i hana ino ai i na mamo a Iseraela, a hoowahawaha lakou i ko lakou noho ana me ka hana nui, ka lepo, a me ka lepo. , a me na hana a pau ma na mahinaai, a me na hana a pau, a lakou i hooluhi nui ai i ko lakou”; Ua kukulu lakou i na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa no lakou, a ua hooikaika lakou a hoonui i ko lakou waiwai i na makahiki he nui, a me na ano hookauwa a pau, aole nae lakou i mahalo wale ia lakou, aka, ua makemake lakou e luku ia lakou a pau. He aha ka hewa i hana ʻia inā lawe lākou i kahi liʻiliʻi mai ka nui? a i ka wa hea i loaa mai ai ia kakou ka waiwai nui, ina aole kakou i noho kauwa hooluhi, a i puka mai iwaho waiwai, loaa mai ka uku uuku no ko kakou luhi nui, a puka mai i ka ilihune? Me he mea la, me he mea la i kaili wale ia e kekahi kanaka, a lawelawe ia ia no na makahiki he nui, a hoonui i kona waiwai, alaila, loaa ia ia kekahi haawina, a me he mea la, ua loaa ia ia kekahi mea mai kona waiwai mai, aka, o ka nui o kana mau hana a me ka loaa nui ana mai. ua lawe liʻiliʻi ʻo ia a haʻalele, a ua hewa kekahi iā ia, me he mea lā ua hana hewa ʻo ia; a laila, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka luna kānāwai i ka mea i lawe pio ʻia. Pela no hoi ka poe ahewa i ka poe i lawe liilii mai ka nui mai, a me ka hoahewa ole ia lakou iho i haawi ole aku i ka mahalo no ka pono o ko lakou mau makua, a ua hookomo ia lakou iloko o ka hookauwa kaumaha loa, a loaa ka pomaikai nui mai ia lakou mai. lakou. Ke ʻōlelo nei kēia poʻe (ka poʻe hoʻopiʻi) ua hana hewa lākou (ka ʻIseraʻela) i kā lākou hana, e like me kaʻu i ʻōlelo ai, he gula a me ke kālā i paʻi ʻole ʻia i loko o kekahi mau ipu, a ʻōlelo lākou no lākou iho - pono mākou e haʻi i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻoiai he mea ʻakaʻaka paha kēia. i kekahi - ke hana pololei nei lakou i ka lawe ana i ke gula, ke kala a me ke keleawe iloko o ko lakou mau eke kala me ka palapala a me ke kii o Kaisara.
3. Ina kakou e hoohalike mawaena o kakou a me lakou, owai ka mea e loaa mai ka pono, o ka poe kanaka (Isaraela) mai ko Aigupita mai, ka poe i aie ia lakou ma na mea a pau, a o kakou no ko Roma a me ko na aina e, i aie ole mai ia kakou? A hauʻoli ka honua i ka maluhia ma o lākou (ko Roma), a hele mākou ma nā alanui me ka makaʻu ʻole a holo i nā wahi a mākou e makemake ai. ʻE tokoni lahi ʻa e folofola ʻa e ʻEikí ki he kakai ko ʻení: “Ko e angahala, ke ke ʻamuʻa ʻa e ʻakau mei ho mata ʻo e mata, pea ʻe ke ke ʻiloʻi (pea) ke toʻo atu ʻa e siʻi ʻo e mata ʻo ho tokoua.” No ka mea, ina o ka mea nana oe i hoohewa mai ia mea, a kaena i kona ike, ua hookaawale ia ia iho mai ka ahahui o ka poe pegana, aole ona mea e, aka, he olohelohe maoli a me na wawae ole, a noho hale ole ma na mauna, e like me kekahi holoholona e ai ana. nā mea kanu, a laila, pono ke ʻoluʻolu no ka mea ʻaʻole ʻo ia i ʻike i nā pono o ko mākou kaiāulu. Inā hoʻohana ʻo ia i ka mea i kapa ʻia e ka poʻe haole, a (ma ka manawa like) hoʻāhewa i ka prototype o kēia, a laila hōʻike ʻo ia iā ia iho he hewa loa a hoʻohuli i kēlā ʻano hoʻopiʻi iā ia iho. No ka mea, e ʻike ʻo ia iā ia iho e hali pū ana me ia i kekahi mea ʻaʻole nāna, a e makemake ana i ka mea ʻaʻole nāna; a no ia kumu i olelo mai ai ka Haku: "Mai hookolokolo oukou, o hoahewaia oukou, no ka mea, me ka hoopai ana oukou e hooponopono ai, e hoohewaia oukou." Aole makou e hoopai i ka poe i hana hewa, a i ae i na hana ino, aka, aole makou e hoohewa hewa i na kauoha a ke Akua, no ka mea, ua manao pono oia (^ i na mea a pau e pono ai. e hoohana pono i ko kakou waiwai i loaa mai ia kakou mai, i mai la ia: “O ka mea nona na lole elua, e haawi aku na ka poe ilihune, a o ka mea ai, e hana like oe. Ua kapa ʻole au, a ua hōʻaʻahu mai ʻoe iaʻu. e kuai ana i ko kakou lima mai ka lima mai o hai: ke olelo aku nei au, "mai ka lima o hai," aole ma ke ano e noho malihini ana ke ao nei i ke Akua; ʻaʻole ʻike i ke Akua - a ma ia mea mākou e kūkulu ai i ka hale o ke Akua i loko o mākou iho, no ka mea, e noho pū ana me ke Akua i loko o ka poʻe hana maikaʻi, e like me ka ʻōlelo a ka Haku: "E hoʻolauna ʻoe nou iho me ka waiwai pono ʻole; e hookipa ia oukou iloko o ka noho mau loa.
4. No laila, pono mua kēia i ka manaʻo i kēlā hana hoʻololi, a mai ia mau mea i kūkulu ʻia ai ka halelewa o ke Akua, no ka mea, ua loaʻa i ka poʻe (ka ʻIseraʻela) i ka pono, e like me kaʻu i hōʻike ai, a ma ia mau mea i hoʻohālikelike ʻia ai mākou, ka poʻe i manaʻo ʻia e e hookauwa aku i ke Akua ma o na mea e ae. ka hope (o ka manawa) lawe mai ia ia mai keia wahi aku, i kona hooilina, aole na Mose ke kauwa a ke Akua, na Iesu ke Keiki a ke Akua i haawi mai i hooilina. A inā e nānā pono kekahi i nā ʻōlelo a ka poʻe kāula e pili ana i ka hopena a me ka mea a Ioane ka haumāna a ka Haku i ʻike ai ma ka hōʻike, e ʻike ʻo ia e ʻae nā lāhui i nā maʻi like ʻole i hahau ʻia ma ʻAigupita.
