He Poropititanga mō Ramahiku

¹Ko te poropititanga mō Ramahiku:“Nanā, kua kore a Ramahiku hei pā;ka pūranga kau.²Kua mahue ngā pā o Aroere;mō ngā kāhui ērā, ka takoto rātou,tē ai he kaiwhakawehi.³Ka kore anō he pā kaha mō Ēparaima,he kīngitanga mō Ramahiku,he toenga rānei o Hīria;ka rite rātou ki te korōria o ngā tama a Īharaira,”e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano.

⁴“Nā, i taua rā ka meinga te korōria o Hākopa kia tūpuhi,ka hīroki haere hoki te ngako o ōna kikokiko.⁵Ā, ka rite ki tā te kaitapahi kohikohinga i te wīti,ki te tapahanga hoki a ōna ringa i ngā hua wīti;āe, ka rite ki te hamunga o ngā hua wītii te raorao i Repaima.⁶Otiia, e toe anō ētahi karepe hei hamunga;ka rite ki te ruiruinga o te ōriwa –e rua, e toru ngā ōriwa i te pito o tō runga rawa peka,e whā, e rimai te peka i waho rawa,i te mea whai hua,”e ai tā Ihowā, tā te Atua o Īharaira.

⁷I taua rā ka titiro he tangata ki tōna Kaihanga,ka anga ōna kanohi ki te Mea Tapu o Īharaira;⁸e kore anō e titiro ki ngā āta i hangā nei e ōna ringa,e kore e anga ki te mea i mahia e ōna maihao,ki ngā Aherimi rānei,ki ngā whakapakoko rānei.

⁹I taua rā ka rite ōna pā kaha ki te wāhi i whakarērea i te ngahere, i te tihi anō o te maunga, i whakarērea rā i te aroaro o ngā tama a Īharaira; nā, ko te ngaromanga.¹⁰Kua wareware hoki koe ki te Atua o tōu whakaoranga,ā, kua kāhore i mahara ki te kāmaka o tōu kaha,mō reira ka whakatupuria e koe he mea ātaahua,ka whakatōkia anō ki te peka kē.¹¹I te rā e whakatō ai koe, ka taiepatia e koe,ā, i te ata matomato tonu tāu i whakatō ai;i te rā ia o te pōuri, o te mamae ngau kino,ka memeha atu te kotinga.

¹²Ananā, te ngangau o ngā iwi maha,e ngē ana ānō he haruru nō ngā moana!Me te rere o ngā iwi, e wawā ana,koia anō kei te turituri o ngā wai nunui!¹³Ānō ko te tāheke o ngā wai maha te haruru o ngā iwi;otiia ka rīria rātou e ia, ā, ka rere ki tawhiti,ka whāia, ānō he pāpapa nō ngā maunga i te upoko o te hau,ānō he puehu āwhiowhio e āia ana e te tūpuhi.¹⁴I te ahiahi, nā, ko te pāwera!Kīanō i pūao kua kore rātou.Ko te wāhi tēnei mā te hunga e pāhua ana i a tātou,ko te mea tēnei e wehea mā te hunga e muru ana i a tātou.
