Teraa ae e karikia te Atua, e bon karikia bwa iai manenana (purpose) – e na kabonganaaki (used), e na karikirakeaki (developed), e na teimaan (preserved) ao e na tararuaaki (maintained).

Ti na okira Karikani Bai 1:1-2. N te kibu 1, ao e nanonaki (implies) ikai bwa te karikibwai (creation) e bon nangi tamaroa (perfect). Te Atua bon te tia karekea te maiu (author of life), te tikiraoi (beauty), te tamaroa (perfection). Tatan e karokoa te roo (darkness), te tarabuaka (ugliness), te aki rokoraoi (imperfection). Te kibu 1 e kaota te karikibwai ae tamaroa. Te kibu 2 ngkanne e kaota mwiin aia bure anera.
“Ao e tuai ni baireaki aron (without form) aonaaba ma kanoana (void)” (Kiribati Catholic Bible). Taeka aika “without form” ao “void” a bon rairaki man te taetae n Ebera aika “tohu” ao “bohu”. Rairana riki tabeua: “rereua” (waste) ao “akea kanoana” (empty), ke “mangaongaon bwaai” (chaotic), “te mangaongao” (confusion) ao ”e kana mate” (state of decay). Ae nanona bwa te aonaaba are e karikaki n tamaroa ao n tikiraoi (kibu 1) e a manga riki n mangaongao, n rereua ao n akea kanoana (kibu 2) - ao e roo aona ao e rabunaki n te ran.
Te aonaaba raa ae karikaki Atam nako aona? Are n te kibu 1 ke n te kibu 2?
E kaotaki nakon Tawita bwa e kangaara n kaboua aon te aba te Atua: “Ko kamanangaa tamneim, ao a karikaki: ao ko kobooua aon te aba” (“Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth” Ps 104:30, KJV, NAS, NIM, RSV), ke, ko “onika taraan aon te aba” (Taramo 104:30,KCB), ko “manga kamaiua aon aontano” (Taian Areru 104:30,KPB). E karikaki Atam nakon te aonaaba ae onikaki taraana (nakon are e tamaroa) ao are manga kamaiuaki aona.
Te Koaua Teuana ae Kakubanako

Ma e karaoaki aei (kabouan aon te aba) tao mirion ke birion ma birion te ririki imwiin te moan kariki bwai (original creation) are e taekinaki n te kibu 1!
E riki te aonaaba bwa te rereua ke e tuai n baereaki aona (waste – ‘tohu’) ao n akea kanoana (empty – ‘bohu’). Te Atua e bon aki karika te aonaaba bwa ena rereua ke tao e na akea kanoana, ke e na nimamate (decay). Te Atua, bon “tiaki te tia karika te mangaongao”, (1 Korinto 14: 33, KCB). Te taeka n Ebera aio – tohu – ae nanona “rereua” ao “akea kanoana” e bon kobonganaaki (inspired) n ana boki Itaia 45:18, are rairana ikai bon “matebuaka” (in vain). E kaangai taekana n aia B’aibara Boretetanti, “Ba e kangai ana taeka Iehova ae karaoa karawa; bon te Atua Ngai; ae karika aonaba ma ni karaoia; E kamatoa, e aki matebuaka [tohu] karaoana i Rouna. E karaoia ba e na maekanaki.”
Ti na reitia nako man banen te kibu 2 man Karikani Baai 1 (te aonaaba e a tia n riki n mangaongao, n rereua ao n akea kanoana): “Ba ai aroni marawa tarakina, ae e rabunaki n te ro; ao e kakamakuri tamnein te Atua i aon te ran. E taku te Atua; “Ke e riki te ota” Ao e riki te ota. E nora te ota te Atua ba e raoiroi, ao e karaurea te ota man te ro.”
Tatan bon te tia karekea (author of) te roo. Aia kaaitara anera e karika te roo (darkness). Te Atua te tia karekea (author of) te oota (light) ao te koaua (truth). Te oota e kaotaa ao ni kakorakoraa te tikiraoi (beauty), ao e kaota naba (exposes) te riaaboroo (evil). Te roo e karabai (hides) ni kau-uoua, te tikiraoi ao te riaaboroo.

Ana Kaintokanuea Tatan i Aonaaba
Te kauoua, ngkana ti roko n te kibu 12 ao ti nooria bwa uean Babiron aio bon Tatan – are te akeanera ngkoa ae Rutibeero.
“Ko kanga ni baka mai karawa, ngkoe te itoi ni ngaina ao raneanean te karangaina? Ko kanga ni kabakaaki i aontano, ngkoe te tia tautaekania botanaomata?” (kibu 12).
Nanon te taeka ae Rutibeero bon “Te itoi ni ngaina,” ke “Te Tia uota te ota,” n aron karikana ngke e moan karikaki i roun te Atua.
Ma noora ana iango Rutibeero n te tai anne, “N na rierake nako karawa. N na karietata au kaintokanuea i etan ana itoi [anera] te Atua” (Itaia 14:13, KPB).
Ko na ataia, bwa iai ana kaintokanuea Rutibeero; bon te tia tautaeka (ruler) ngaia. Ana kaintokanuea e bon mena i aon te aonaaba, ma, e tangiria bwa e na waerake nako karawa. Ti na reitia: “N na tekateka i aon maunga ike a bobotaki iai atua n tokin tiani meang. N na toka i taberan nang, N na boraoi ma Teuare moan te Rietata” (kiibu 13-14). E nooraki ikai bwa akea riki ana iango Rutibeero ma tii te kan ekaanako te Atua man ana Kaintokanuea bwa e na riki ngaia bwa te Atua.
E bon tangiria bwa e na onea muiin te Atua, man onea muina n te unibweeti!
Ma n tokin te tai, “ko na kab’akaki nako moone (hell – Heb. Sheol), nakon tabon te kinono are i nano i nano” (kibu 15 – e manga kaineti te kibu aei ma te uea n aomata).

N aron ae koreaki (literally) ao te taeka n buraabeti aio e taekina te buaka i karawa ae e na karaoaki n taai ake i mwaaira (future).
“Ngkanne e boo te buaka i karawa: e buakana te rakon teuare Mikaere n raonaki irouia ana anera. E buaka naba te rakon n raonaki naba irouia ana anera, ao e konaki, ao akea riki nneia i karawa.

E tewenakoaki i aon te aba ma ana koraki n anera” (Kaotioti 12:7-9, Kiribati Catholic Bible, KCB). Ao taekana n Taniera 12:1-2, KCB, “N te tai arei ao e na teirake te mataniwi ae e kakanato ae Mikaere, ae te tia kawakina am botanaomata.
