I Manaakitia ngā Iwi Kotahi Tekau mā Rua o Īharaira e Hākopa
1Nā, ka karanga a Hākopa ki āna tamariki, ka mea, “Huihui mai, ā, ka kōrerotia e ahau ki a koutou ngā mea e pono ki a koutou i ngā rā ō muri.2Huihui mai, whakarongo hoki, e ngā tama a Hākopa;whakarongo hoki ki a Īharaira, ki tō koutou pāpā.3“E Reupena, ko koe tāku mātāmua,tōku pakaritanga, me te tīmatanga o tōku kaha;te hiranga ake o te korōria, te hiranga ake hoki o te kaha.4He mea pōkarekare, ānō he wai, e kore koe e kake;mō tōu pikitanga i te moenga o tōu pāpā;pōkea iho e koe a reira – i pikitia e ia tōku takotoranga!5“He tuakana, he teina, a Himiona rāua ko Rīwai;he rākau riri kino ā rāua hoari.6Kaua e tomo, e tōku wairua, ki tō rāua rūnanga;kaua e huihuia, e tōku korōria, ki tō rāua whakaminenga –i patu tangata hoki rāua i a rāua e riri ana,ā, he hīkaka nō rāua i kopa ai te kau.7Kia kangā tō rāua riri, i kaha nei;me tō rāua āritarita, nō te mea he nanakia!Ka wehea atu rāua e ahau ki roto ki a Hākopa,ka whakamararatia hoki rāua ki roto ki a Īharaira.8“E Hūrā, ko koe e whakamoemititia e ōu tuākana, e ōu tēina;ka ū tōu ringa ki te kakī o ōu hoariri;ka piko ki a koe ngā tama a tōu pāpā.9He kūao raiona a Hūrā;i kake atu koe, e tāku tama, i te haenga.I piko, i tāpapa ia, i pērā me te raiona,i pērā hoki me te raiona kātua – mā wai ia e whakaoho?10E kore e riro kē te hēpeta i a Hūrā,me te tokotoko o te kāwana i waenganui o ōna waewae,kia tae mai rā anō a Hiro;ā, ka rongo ngā iwi katoa ki a ia.11Ka herea e ia tana kūao ki te wāina,te tama hoki a tana kāihe ki te wāina pai rawa;ka horoia e ia ōna kākahu ki te wāina,ōna weruweru hoki ki te toto o te karepe.12Ka mumura hoki ōna kanohi i te wāina,ka mā ōna niho i te waiū.13“Ka noho a Hepurona ki te wahapū o te moana;hei wahapū anō ia mō ngā kaipuke;ka tutuki atu hoki tōna rohe ki Hairona.14“He kāihe kaha a Ihākara,e tāpapa ana i waenga o ngā moenga hipi e rua;15ā, i tōna kitenga i te okiokinga he pai,i te whenua hoki he āhuareka;nā, ka tukua iho e ia tōna pokohiwi ki te pīkaunga,ā, meinga ana ia hei pononga hōmai takoha.16“Ka whakawā a Rāna i tōna iwi,ka pērā ānō me tētahi o ngā iwi o Īharaira.17Hei nākahi a Rāna ki te ara,hei neke hoki ki te huarahi,e ngau ai i te rekereke o te hōiho,ā, ka taka whakamuri tōna kaieke.18“Kua tatari atu ahau ki tāu whakaoranga, e Ihowā.19“Ko Kara, ka āki te ope ki runga ki a ia;otiia ka āki ia ki tō rātou rekereke.20“Ko tā Āhera, ka mōmona tāna taro,ā, he kai kīngi ōna hua.21“Ko Napatari, he hāta kua tukua kia haere;e hōmai ana e ia ngā kupu papai.22“Ko Hōhepa he peka hua,he peka hua i te taha o te puna;e toro atu ana ōna manga ki tua o te taiepa.23I whakatupu kino ngā kaikōpere i a ia,i pere mai hoki, i kino hoki ki a ia.24Otiia, i mau tāna kōpere i runga i te kaha,ā, i whakapakaritia ngā tākakau o ōna ringae ngā ringa o te Mea Kaha o Hākopa,nō reira nei te hēpara, te kāmaka o Īharaira,25arā e te Atua o tōu pāpā, māna anō koe e āwhina;e te Kaha Rawa hoki, māna e tuku mai ki a koengā manaaki o te rangi i runga,ngā manaaki hoki o te rire e takoto ana i raro,ngā manaaki o ngā ū, o te kōpū hoki.26Hira ake ngā manaaki a tōu pāpāi ngā manaaki a ōku tūpuna,tae atu ana ki tērā taha rawa o ngā pukepuke tū tonu;ka tau iho ēnā mea ki runga ki te mātenga o Hōhepa,ki te tumuaki hoki ōna i motuhia atu nei i ōna tuākana.27“Ka haehae a Pineamine ānō he wuruhi,ka kainga e ia te tūpāpaku i te ata,ā, i te ahiahi ka tuwhaina e ia ngā taonga parakete.”28Ko ēnei katoa ngā iwi kotahi tekau mā rua o Īharaira, ko te kōrero hoki tēnei a tō rātou pāpā ki a rātou, ko tāna manaaki i a rātou, i manaakitia rātou e ia, tēnei, tēnei, me tōna manaaki anō.
Te Matenga me te Tanumanga o Hākopa
29Ā, i whakahau ia ki a rātou, i mea ki a rātou, “Ka kohia atu ahau ki tōku iwi. Tanumia ahau ki ōku mātua, ki te ana i te pārae o Eperona Hiti,30ki te ana i te pārae o Makapera, i te ritenga o Mamere, i te whenua o Kanaana, i hokona, me te pārae anō, e Āperahama i a Eperona Hiti, kia puritia hei tanumanga.31I tanumia a Āperahama rāua ko Hara, ko tāna wahine, ki reira; i tanumia a Īhaka rāua ko Ripeka, ko tāna wahine, ki reira; i tanumia hoki a Rea e ahau ki reira.32I hokona te pārae me te ana i reira i ngā tama a Hete.”33Ā, ka mutu te whakahau a Hākopa ki āna tama, ka pēpeke ake ōna waewae ki roto ki te moenga, ā, ka hemo, ka kohia atu ki tōna iwi.
