Te Īnoi a Raniera mō tōna Iwi
1I te tuatahi o ngā tau o Tariuha tama a Ahahueruha, nō ngā uri o ngā Meri, i kīngi nei ia ki te kīngitanga o ngā Karari.2I tōna tau tuatahi i kīngi ai, ka kitea e ahau, e Raniera, ki ngā pukapuka te maha o ngā tau i puta mai ai te kupu a Ihowā ki a Heremaia poropiti, hei whakatutukitanga i te ururua o Hiruhārama, arā ka tae ki te whitu tekau tau.3Nā, ka anga tōku mata ki te Ariki, ki te Atua; rapua ana e ahau i runga i te karakia, i te īnoi, i te nohopuku, i te kākahu taratara, i te pungarehu.4Nā, ka īnoi atu ahau ki te Ariki, ki tōku Atua, ka whāki, ka mea,“E te Ariki, e te Atua nui, e te Atua whakamataku, e pupuri nei i te kawenata, i te atawhai mō te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia, e pupuri ana i āna whakahau.5Kua hara mātou, kua poka kē, kua mahi i te kino, kua whakakeke hoki, i a mātou i tahuri kē nei i āu whakahau, i āu tikanga.6Kīhai anō mātou i whakarongo ki āu pononga, ki ngā poropiti i kōrero nei i runga i tōu ingoa ki ō mātou kīngi, ki ō mātou rangatira, ki ō mātou mātua, ki te iwi katoa anō o te whenua.7“Kei a koe, e te Ariki, te tika, kei a mātou ia te whakamā o te mata, koia anō tēnei ināianei; kei ngā tāngata anō o Hūrā, kei ngā tāngata o Hiruhārama, kei a Īharaira katoa, kei ngā mea e tata ana, kei ngā mea i tawhiti, i ngā whenua katoa i peia atu ai rātou e koe, mō tō rātou hē i hē ai rātou ki a koe.8E te Ariki, kei a mātou nei ko te whakamā o te mata, kei ō mātou kīngi hoki, kei ō mātou rangatira, kei ō mātou mātua hoki, nō te mea i hara mātou ki a koe.9Nā te Ariki, nā tō mātou Atua, ngā mahi tohu me ngā murunga hara, ko mātou ia kua whakakeke ki a ia;10kīhai anō i whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowā, o tō mātou Atua, kīhai i haere i āna ture i whakatakotoria e ia, arā e āna pononga, e ngā poropiti, ki tō mātou aroaro.11“Āe rā, kua takahia e Īharaira katoa tāu ture, kua whakarērea e rātou, kia kore ai rātou e rongo ki tōu reo; koia i ringihia ai te kanga ki runga ki a mātou, me te oati i tuhituhia ki te ture a Mohi pononga a te Atua; kua hara hoki mātou ki a ia.12Nā, kua pūmau i a ia āna kupu i kōrerotia e ia mō mātou, mō ō mātou kaiwhakawā i whakarite nei i ō mātou whakawā, nā te kino nui hoki kua kawea mai nei e ia ki runga ki a mātou. Kāhore hoki he rite mō te mea kua meatia nei ki Hiruhārama i raro i te rangi katoa.13Ka rite ki te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture a Mohi tēnei kino katoa kua tae mai nei ki a mātou. Heoi, kāhore ā mātou īnoi ki te aroaro o Ihowā, o tō mātou Atua, mō mātou kia tahuri atu i ō mātou kino, kia mātau hoki ki tōu pono.14Nā reira te kino i tirotirohia mai ai e Ihowā, ā, kawea mai ana e ia ki runga ki a mātou; tika tonu hoki tā Ihowā, tā tō mātou Atua, i āna mahi katoa e mahia ana e ia, ā, kīhai mātou i whakarongo ki tōna reo.15“Nā āianei, e te Ariki, e tō mātou Atua, nāu nei i kawe mai tāu iwi i te whenua o Īhipa i runga i te ringa kaha, ā, mahia ana e koe he ingoa mōu, pēnei anō me tēnei ināianei; hara ana mātou, mahi ana i te kino.16E te Ariki, kia rite ki āu mahi tika katoa, whakatahuritia atu tōu riri, tōu weriweri, i tāu pā, i Hiruhārama, i tōu maunga tapu. He hara nei hoki nō mātou, he kino nō ō mātou mātua i ingoa kino ai a Hiruhārama me tāu iwi ki te hunga katoa i tētahi taha o mātou, i tētahi taha.17Nā, whakarongo āianei, e tō mātou Atua, ki te īnoi a tāu pononga, ki āna tangi, kia mārama anō tōu mata ki tōu wāhi tapu kua ururua nei, me whakaaro ki te Ariki.18Kia anga mai, e tōku Atua, tōu taringa, whakarongo hoki, titiro mai hoki ōu kanohi, kia kitea ai e koe ō mātou matenga, me te pā anō kua huaina nei tōu ingoa mō reira. Ehara hoki i te mea he tika nō mātou i tukua atu ai e mātou ā mātou īnoi ki tōu aroaro, engari he nui nō āu mahi tohu.19Whakarongo, e te Ariki! E te Ariki, murua te hē! E te Ariki, whakarongo mai, e mahi! Kaua e whakaroa; kia mahara anō ki a koe, e tōku Atua, kua oti hoki tōu ingoa te whakahua mō tāu pā, mō tāu iwi.”
