Hōhea12

¹Ko tā Ēparaima kai ko te hau,e whāia ana ia te hau marangai;i ngā rā katoa e whakanuia ana e ia te teka me te whakangaro;e whakarite kawenata ana rātou ki te Ahiriana,ā, e kawea ana he hinu ki Īhipa.

Ka Whakawātia a Īharaira me Hūrā

²Nā, he whakawā tā Ihowā ki a Hūrā,ka utaina anō e ia ki runga ki a Hākopa ngā mea rite ki ōna ara;ka rite ki āna mahi tāna utu ki a ia.³I roto i te kōpū i hopukia e ia tōna tuakana ki te rekereke;ā, i a ia ka tangata i kaha ia ki te Atua.

⁴Āe rā, i kaha ia ki te anahera, ā, taea ana e ia;i tangi ia, i īnoi ki a ia.I tūtaki ia ki a ia ki Pētēre;ā, kōrero ana ia ki a tātou i reira.⁵Arā a Ihowā, te Atua o ngā mano;ko Ihowā tōna maharatanga.⁶Nā reira tahuri koe ki tōu Atua;puritia te mahi tohu me te tika,tatari tonu ki tōu Atua.

⁷He kaihokohoko ia, kei tōna ringa ngā pāuna tinihanga;e aroha ana ia ki te tūkino.⁸I mea anō a Ēparaima, “He pono kua whai taonga ahau,kua kitea e ahau he rawa mōku.I āku mahi katoa e kore e kitea e rātou he kino,arā he hara ki ahau.”

⁹“Nā, ko Ihowā ahau, ko tōu Atua,nō te whenua o Īhipa mai rā anō;tēnei ake ka meinga anō koe e ahau kia noho tēneti;kia pērā me tō ngā rā o te hākari nui.¹⁰Kua kōrero anō ahau ki ngā poropiti,ā, kua whakamahangia e ahau ngā whakakitenga;nā te mahi minita a ngā poropiti i kōrero ai ahau i ngā kupu whakarite.”

¹¹Ko te hara rānei a Kireara?Inā, he mea teka kau rātou;e patu kau ana rātou ki Kirikara hei whakahere.Āe rā, he rite ā rātou āta ki ngā pūrangai ngā moa o ngā māra.¹²I rere anō a Hākopa ki te māra a Arame,ā, mahi ana a Īharaira hei utu wahine;hei utu wahine i tiaki hipi ai ia.¹³I kawea mai anō e Ihowā, arā e te poropiti, a Īharaira i Īhipa,nā te poropiti anō ia i ora ai.¹⁴I whakapātaritari a Ēparaima ki a ia, kawa rawa;mō reira ka waiho e ia tōna toto i runga i a ia,ka meinga anō tōna ingoa kinoe tōna Ariki kia hoki atu ki a ia.
