He Poropititanga mō Papurōna, Ēroma, Arāpia hoki
1Ko te poropititanga mō te koraha o te moana:Ka rite ki ngā āwhiowhio i te tonga e pupuhi ana,tōna haerenga mai i te korahai te whenua e wehingia ana.2He kino rawa te kitenga kua whakaaturia nei ki ahau;kei te tinihanga te tangata tinihanga,kei te pāhua te kaipāhua.Whakaekea, e Erama whakapaea, e Meria mutu pū i ahaungā auētanga katoa o reira.3Nā reira kī tonu tōku hope i te mamae,whakawiri rawa ngā mea e ngau nei i ahau,ānō ko te whakawiringa o te wahine e whakawhānau ana;mamae ana ahau, kore ake e rongo;ohorere ana, kore ake e kite.4Kahekahe ana tōku manawa,wehi ana i te whakamataku;ko te ahiahi pō i hiahiatia e ahau,puta ake ana hei mea e tūiri ai ahau.5Kei te whakapai rātou i te tēpu,kua whakaritea he kaitūtei;kei te kai rātou, kei te inu.Whakatika, e ngā rangatira,pania te whakangungu rākau.6Ko tā te Ariki kupu hoki tēnei ki ahau:“Tīkina, whakatūria he kaitūtei,māna e whakaatu tāna e kite ai.7Nā, ka kitea e ia te ope,ngā kaieke hōiho tātaki rua,he rōpū kāihe, he rōpū kāmera,kia āta whakarongo mārie ia.”8Kātahi tērā ka karanga, ānō he raiona:“E tōku Ariki, kei runga ahau i te wāhi tūteie tū tonu ana i te awatea;pau katoa anō ngā pō i ahaue tū nei i tāku mahi tiaki.9Nanā, tēnei te haere mai nei he rōpū tāngata,me ngā kaieke hōiho, he tātaki rua!Nā, ka oho ia, ka mea,‘Kua horo a Papurōna, kua horo;ko ngā whakapakoko katoa anō o ōna atua,wāwāhia iho ki te whenua.’ ”10E tāku patunga wīti,e te wīti o tāku patunga;ko tāku i rongo ai ki a Ihowā o ngā mano, ki te Atua o Īharaira,e whakaaturia nei e ahau ki a koutou.11Ko te poropititanga mō Rūma.E karanga mai ana tētahi ki ahau i Heira,“E te kaitūtei, ko te aha i te pō?E te kaitūtei, ko te aha i te pō?”12Ka kī mai te kaitūtei:“Kei te haere mai te ata rāua ko te pō.Ki te uia e koutou, e ui;hoki mai, haere mai.”13Ko te poropititanga mō Arāpia.
Kei te ngahere i Arāpia he nohoanga mō koutou i te pō,e ngā tira haere o Reranimi.14I kawea e rātou he wai mō te tangata e matewai ana;i haere ngā tāngata o te whenua o Temaki te whakatau i ngā tāngata e rere ana, me tā rātou taro.15Ka rere mai hoki rātou i ngā hoari,i te hoari kua oti te unu,i te kōpere kua oti te whakapiko,i te pākaha anō o te whawhai.16Ko tā te Ariki kupu hoki tēnei ki ahau: Kia kotahi tau, ko te tau hoki o te kaimahi, ā, ka poto katoa te korōria o Kerara.17Nā, ko ngā mōrehu o ngā kaikōpere, ko ngā mārohirohi o ngā tama a Kerara, ka torutoru. Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a Ihowā, a te Atua o Īharaira.
