Te Whakapaenga o Hiruhārama

¹Auē te mate mō Ariere, mō Ariere,mō te pā i noho ai a Rāwiri!Tāpiritia iho tētahi tau ki tētahi tau;mahia ngā hākari i ngā wā e rite ai.²Hei reira raru ai i ahau a Ariere,ā, ka pōuri, ka tangi;ā, ka rite ia ki ahau ānō ko Ariere.³Ka nohoia atu anō koe e ahau, ā karapoi noa;ka whakapaea koe ki te parepare,ka ara anō i ahau he taiepa hei tatau ki a koe.⁴Ā, ka whakahokia iho koe, ka kōrero ake i te whenua;ka iti anō tāu kupu i roto i te puehu;ka rite tōu reo ki tō te tangata i te atua māori,he mea puta ake i te whenua,ka kohimu ake tāu kupu i roto i te puehu.

⁵Ko te huihuinga ia o ōu hoariri ka rite ki te puehu ririki,ā, ko te huihuinga o te hunga nanakia ki te pāpapa e rere atu ana.Āe rā, ka hemorere tonu,⁶ka pā tā Ihowā o ngā mano ki a ia,he whatitiri, he rū, he reo nui,he tūkauati, he tūpuhi, he mura ahi e kā ana.⁷Ā, ka rite ki te moe, ki te rekanga kanohi o te pōngā iwi maha katoa e whawhai ana ki Ariere,arā te hunga katoa e ngangare ana ki a ia, ki tōna pā kaha,e whakatupu kino ana hoki i a ia.⁸Ka rite anō ki te tangata matekai e moe ana, nā, kei te kai ia;heoi, kei te ohonga ake, e takoto kau ana tōna wairua;ka rite hoki ki te tangata matewai e moe ana, nā, kei te inu ia;te ohonga ake, kāhore he kaha, kei te hiahia anō tōna wairua;ko te rite tērā o te hui o ngā iwi katoae whawhai ana ki Maunga Hiona.

⁹E tū koutou, e mīharo;e hari, ā, ka matapō;e haurangi ana rātou, ehara ia i te wāina;e hūrori ana, engari ehara i te wai kaha.¹⁰Nō te mea kua ringihia e Ihowā te wairua o te moeau tonu ki runga ki a koutou,kua oti anō i a ia te whakamoe ō koutou kanohi, ngā poropiti;ko ō koutou rangatira, ko ngā matakite,kua taupokina e ia.

¹¹Ā, ka rite ki a koutou te kitenga katoa ki ngā kupu o tētahi pukapuka i hīritia, e hoatu ana e ngā tāngata ki tētahi tangata mātau ki te kōrero pukapuka, ka mea atu, “Tēnā, kōrerotia tēnei”, ā, ka mea mai ia, “E kore e taea e ahau, e hīri nā hoki.”¹²Nā, ka hoatu taua pukapuka ki te mea kāhore nei e mātau ki te kōrero pukapuka; nā, ko te kīanga atu, “Tēnā, kōrerotia tēnei,” anō rā ko ia, “Kāhore ahau e mātau ki te kōrero.”¹³Nā, ka mea te Ariki:“I te mea e whakatata ana mai te iwi nei ki ahau,ā, e whakahōnore ana i ahau ki tō rātou māngai,ki ō rātou ngutu, otiia e matara noa atu ana i ahau ō rātou ngākau,ā, ko tō rātou wehi ki ahauhe mea whakaako e tā te tangata tohutohu.¹⁴Nā, ka tahuri ahau ki te mahi i tētahi mahi whakamīharoki waenganui i tēnei iwi,he mahi whakamīharo rawa, he mīharo whakaharahara;ka whakamōtītia hoki ngā whakaaro o ō rātou mea whakaaro nui,ka ngaro te mātauranga o ō rātou mea mōhio.”¹⁵Auē te mate mō te hunga e whai ana i te wāhi hōhonu,kia ngaro ai tō rātou whakaaro i a Ihowā;ā, kei te pōuri ā rātou mahi, e mea ana hoki,“Ko wai e kite ana i a tātou?Ko wai e mātau ana ki a tātou?”¹⁶Tā koutou whakaputa kē!E kīia rānei te kaihanga rīhi he rite ki te paru?E kī ake rānei te mea i hangā ki tōna kaihanga,“Kīhai ahau i hangā e ia”?E mea ake rānei te mea i mahia ki tōna kaimahi,“Kāhore ōna mātauranga”?

He Tūmanako i te Wā Muri

¹⁷He teka rānei he iti rawa nei te takiwā,ā, ka puta kē a Repanōna hei māra whai hua,ā, ka kīia te māra whai hua hei ngahere?¹⁸I taua rā ka rongo ngā turii ngā kupu o te pukapuka,ka kite anō ngā kanohi o ngā matapōi roto i te kākarauri, i te pōuri.¹⁹Ka neke ake anō te hari o te hunga māhaki ki a Ihowā,ka koa anō ngā tāngata rawakore ki te Mea Tapu o Īharaira.²⁰Kua mōtī hoki te tangata nanakia;ā, ko te tangata whakahī, kua poto;kua hātepea atu anō te hunga katoa i whanga ki te kino –²¹e whakatau hē nei ki te tangata e kōrero ana,e whakatakoto rore nei mō te kairiri o te hē i te kūwaha;ā, kāhore he rawa i whakapeaua kētia ai e rātou te tangata tika.

²²Nā, ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā, nāna nei a Āperahama i hoko, mō te whare o Hākopa:“E kore a Hākopa e whakamā āianei,e kore anō e kōmā tōna mata āianei.²³Engari, kia kite ia i āna tamariki,i te mahi a ōku ringa, i roto i a ia,ka whakatapua e rātou tōku ingoa;āe rā, ka whakatapua anō e rātou te Mea Tapu o Hākopa,ā, ka wehi ki te Atua o Īharaira.²⁴Ka mōhiotia anō te mātauranga e ngā wairua kotiti kē,ā, ka ako te hunga amuamu ki te kupu mōhio.”
