1Nō te mea ka aroha a Ihowā ki a Hākopa,ka whiriwhiria anō a Īharaira e ia;ka meinga hoki rātou kia āta noho ki tō rātou ake oneone;ka piri anō te tangata kē ki a rātou,ka uru anō hoki ki roto ki te whare o Hākopa.2E tango anō ngā iwi i a rātou,e kawe i a rātou ki tō rātou wāhi,riro tonu iho rātou i te whare o Īharaira hei pononga tāne,hei pononga wāhine i te oneone a Ihowā;ā, hei whakarau mō rātou ō rātou kaiwhakarau,ko rātou anō hei rangatira mō ō rātou kaitūkino.
Te Kīngi o Papurōna kei te Reinga i Raro
3Nā, i te rā e meinga ai koe e Ihowā kia okioki i tōu pōuri, i tōu pāwera, i te mahi pakeke anō hoki i whakamahia ai koe,4ko reira maranga ai tēnei pepeha āu mō te kīngi o Papurōna, ka mea hoki koe:Ananā! Mutu pū tā te kaitūkino,mutu pū tā te pā kōura!5Whati ana i a Ihowā te tokotoko o te hunga kino,te hēpeta o ngā kīngi;6nāna i patu ngā iwi, me te riri, me te patu kīhai i tāmutu,nāna i whakahaere ngā iwi i runga i te riri,me te whakatupu kino,kāhore he kaiaraarai.7Kua whai okiokinga, kua āta noho te whenua katoa;pakaru mai ana tā rātou waiata.8Āe, kei te koa ngā kauri ki a koe,rātou ko ngā hīta o Repanōna, e kī ana,“Nō tōu taunga anō ki raroi kore ai te kaitapahi e tae mai ki a mātou.”9Ko te rēinga i raro, oho ana i a koe,he tūtakitanga ki a koe i tōu taenga atu;he meatanga ki a koe i whakaarahia ai e ia ngā tūpāpaku,ngā mea nunui o te whenua;maranga ana i a ia ngā kīngi katoa o ngā iwii runga i ō rātou torōna.10Ka kōrero rātou katoa ki a koe,ka mea, “Ko koe anō hoki,kua ngoikore pēnei me mātou?Kua rite koe ki a mātou?”11Kua oti tōu korōria te whakahoki iho ki te rēinga,me te rangi anō o āu hātere;ko te whāriki mōu ko te kutukutu,ko te hīpoki mōu ko ngā toke.12Ananā! Tōu takanga iho i te rangi,e Tāwera, e te tama a te ata!Te tapahanga iho i a koe ki raro,nāu nei i tuku ngā iwi ki raro!13I mea hoki tōu ngākau,“Ka piki ahau ki te rangi,ka whakanekehia ake e ahau tōku torōnaki runga i ngā whetū a te Atua,ka noho anō ahau ki te maunga o te whakaminenga,ki ngā taha rawa ki te raki.14Ka pikitia e ahau a runga ake o ngā wāhi tiketike o ngā kapua;kia rite ahau ki te Runga Rawa.”15Otirā, ka whakahokia iho koe ki te rēinga,ki ngā pito rawa o te rua.16Ko te hunga e kite i a koe, matatau tonu tā rātou titiro ki a koe,me tā rātou āta whakaaroaro anō:“Ko te tangata ianei tēnei i wiri ai te whenua,i ngāueue ai ngā rangatiratanga,17i mea nei i te ao hei koraha,wāhia ana e ia ōna pā;kīhai i tuku i āna herehere ki tō rātou wāhi?”18Ko ngā kīngi katoa o ngā iwi, ko rātou katoa,takoto ana i tōna whare, i tōna whare,i runga i te korōria.19Ko koe ia he mea maka mai i tōu urupā,ānō he peka e whakariharihangia ana,he mea whakakākahu ki te hunga i patua,i werohia ki te hoari,e haere ana ki raro ki ngā kōhatu o te rua.Ānō he tinana i takatakahia e te waewae.20E kore te tanumanga mōu e huihuia ki tō rātou,mōu i whakangaro i tōu whenua,i patu i tōu iwi.E kore te uri o ngā kaimahi i te kinoe whai ingoa, ake ake!21Kia tere te patu mō āna tamariki,mō te hē o ō rātou mātua;kei kake, kei riro anō i a rātou te whenua,kei kapi te mata o te ao i ō rātou pā.22“Ka whakatika hoki ahau ki a rātou,”e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano,“ka tapahia atu anō e ahau i Papurōna te ingoa me te toenga,te tama me te mokopuna,”e ai tā Ihowā.23“Ka meinga anō a reira e ahau hei kāinga mō te matuku,hei hārotoroto wai;ka purumatia anō e ahau ki te puruma o te whakangaromanga,”e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano.
He Poropititanga mō Ahiria
24Kua oati a Ihowā o ngā mano, kua mea:“Inā, ū tonu tāku i whakaaro ai;ko tāku i whakatakoto ai, mau tonu.25Mō te Ahiriana kia whati i ahau ki tōku whenua,kia takatakahia ki runga ki ōku maunga.Ko reira tāna ioka marere ai i runga i a rātou;ā, ka marere tāna pīkaunga i runga i ō rātou pokohiwi.”26Ko te whakaaro tēnei kei te takotomō te whenua katoa.Ko te ringa anō tēnei e totoro atu neiki ngā iwi katoa.27Kua takoto hoki i a Ihowā o ngā mano,ā, mā wai e whakataka?Kua totoro tōna ringa,ā, ko wai hei mea kia pēpeke?
He Poropititanga mō Pirihitia
28Nō te tau i mate ai a Kīngi Ahata tēnei poropititanga:29Kei koa, e Pirihitia katoa,ki te whatinga o te rākau a te kaiwhiu i a koe;tērā hoki e puta ake he neke i roto i te pakiaka o te nākahi,ā, ko tōna hua he nākahi e rere ana me he ahi.30Nā, ka kai ngā mātāmua o ngā ware,ka takoto ngā rawakore, tē ai he wehi;ka whakamatea anō e ahau tōu pakiaka ki te hemokai,ā, ka patua ōu mōrehu.31Auē, e te kūwaha; hāmama, e te pā;harotu kau koe, e Pirihitia katoa!E puta mai hoki te paowa i te raki;e kore tētahi e tū kē mai i te wā i whakaritea mōna.32Ā, he aha te kupu e whakahokia ki ngā karere o te iwi?“Inā rā, nā Ihowā a Hiona i whakatū,ā, ka ai a reira hei rerenga atumō ngā mea o tāna iwi i tūkinotia.”
