Tā Ihowā Manaaki i a Īharaira

¹“Nā, whakarongo, e tāku pononga, e Hākopa,e Īharaira, e tāku i whiriwhiri ai.²Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā, a tōu kaihanga,nāna nei koe i whakaahua i roto i te kōpū,māna nei koe e āwhina,Kaua e wehi, e Hākopa, e tāku pononga,e Iēhuruna, e tāku i whiriwhiri ai.³Nō te mea ka ringihia e ahau he wai ki runga ki te tangata matewai,he awa ki te wāhi maroke;ka ringihia e ahau tōku wairua ki ōu uri,tāku manaaki ki tāu whānau.⁴Ā, ka tupu rātou i waenga taru,ānō he wirou i te taha o ngā rerenga wai.⁵Ka kī ake tēnei, ‘Nā Ihowā ahau,’ko tētahi atu, karangatia ana e ia ko Hākopa hei ingoa mōna;ko tētahi atu, tuhituhi ana tōna ringa ‘Ki a Ihowā,’whakahuatia ake e ia ko Īharaira hei ingoa mōna.

⁶“Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā, a te Kīngi o Īharaira,a tōna kaihoko anō, a Ihowā o ngā mano:Ko ahau te tuatahi ko ahau anō te mutunga;kāhore atu hoki he Atua, ko ahau anake.⁷Ko wai hoki hei rite mōku, hei karanga,hei whakaatu, hei whakarite kia noho rārangi,mai o tōku whakaritenga i te iwi onamata?Ā, mā rātou e whakaatu ngā mea meāke puta mai,me ngā mea anō e puta ā mua.⁸Kaua e wehi, kaua e pāwera;kīhai ianei i kōrerotia e ahau ki a koe ngā mea onamata, i whakaaturia hoki?Ko koutou anō hei kaiwhakaatu mōku!Tērā atu rānei tētahi atua kē?Āe rā, kāhore he kāmaka; kāhore ahau e mōhio ki tētahi.”

Ka Whakahāweatia te Whakapakoko

⁹Ko ngā kaiwhakaahua o te whakapakoko, he horihori katoa rātou;kāhore hoki he pai o ā rātou mea āhuareka.Ko ō rātou kaiwhakaatu kāhore e kite,kāhore e mōhio; e whakamā ai rātou.¹⁰Ko wai te kaiwhakaahua o tētahi atua,te kaiwhakarewa rānei o te whakapakoko kāhore nei ōna pai?¹¹Nanā, ko ōna hoa katoa, ka whakamā;ko ngā kaimahi anō, he tāngata nei rātou;kia huihui mai rātou katoa, tū ai.Ka wehi, ka whakamā ngātahi.

¹²E hangaia ana e te parakimete he toki,ka mahi i roto i ngā waro,whakaahuatia ana e ia ki te hama,puta ana te kaha o tōna ringa ki te mahi i taua mea;ka hemo anō ia i te kai, kore noa iho he kaha;kāhore e inu i te wai, māuiui noa iho.¹³Ko te kāmura, whakamārōkia mai ana e ia te aho,tuhia iho e ia ki te pene, mahia ana e ia ki te waru;tohungia ana e ia ki te kāpehu,mahia ana e ia kia rite ki te āhua o te tangata,ki te ātaahua anō o te tangata;hei mea mō roto i te whare.¹⁴Tuaina ana e ia he hīta māna,tīkina ana e ia te kaiperi, me te oki,ā, whakapakaritia ana e ia māna tētahi i roto i ngā rākau o te ngahere;whakatōkia ana e ia te ahe hei whakatupu mā te ua.¹⁵Kātahi ka waiho hei wahie mā te tangata;ka tangohia hoki e ia tētahi wāhi hei whakamahana i a ia;inā, whakaūngia ana e ia, hei tunu taro;ia kei te hanga anō ia i tētahi atua, koropikoria atu ana e ia;mahia ana e ia hei whakapakoko, tāpapa tonu atu ki reira.¹⁶Ko tētahi wāhi o taua rākau,e tahuna ana e ia ki te ahi, ko tētahi wāhi,hei mea i te kikokiko hei kai māna;tunua ana e ia tāna e tunu ai, ā, ka mākona.Āe rā, ka mahana anō ia, ā, ka mea,“Ha, kua mahana ahau, kua kite i te ahi.”¹⁷Ko te toenga, hangā ake e ia hei atua, hei whakapakoko māna;tāpapa ana ia, koropiko ana,īnoi ana ki taua mea, ka mea,“Whakaorangia ahau; ko koe nei hoki tōku atua.”¹⁸Kāhore rātou e mōhio, kāhore e mahara;nō te mea kua āraia e ia ō rātou kanohi kei kite,ō rātou ngākau kei mātau.¹⁹Kāhore hoki e anga ake te ngākau o tētahi,kāhore e mōhio, kāhore e mātau, e kī ake ai ia,“Ko tētahi wāhi o tēnei i tahuna e ahau ki te ahi;i tunua anō e ahau he taro ki ōna ngārahu,tunua ana e ahau he kikokiko, kainga ake e ahau;ā, kia meinga e ahau te toenga o taua rākau hei mea whakarihariha?Me tāpapa rānei ahau ki te take rākau?”²⁰Ko tāna kai, he pungarehu; kua tinihangatia tōna ngākau,ā, ngau kē ana ia, tē whakaora ia i tōna wairua, tē kī ake rānei,“Kāhore rānei he kōrero teka i tōku matau?”

Kāhore i Wareware a Īharaira

²¹“Kia mahara ki ēnei, e Hākopa,e Īharaira; he pononga hoki koe nāku;nāku koe i whai āhua ai, he pononga hoki koe nāku;e Īharaira, e kore koe e wareware i ahau.²²Ko ōu hē, murua ake e ahau, me te mea he kapua mātotoru;ko ōu hara, me te mea he kapua;hoki mai ki ahau;nāku hoki koe i hoko.”

²³Waiata, e ngā rangi, he mahi hoki tēnei nā Ihowā.Hāmama, e ngā wāhi o raro rawa o te whenua.Kia pakaru mai tā koutou waiata, e ngā maunga,e te ngahere, e ngā rākau katoa o reira;nō te mea kua oti a Hākopa te hoko e Ihowā,kua whai korōria ia i a Īharaira.

²⁴“Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā, a tōu kaihoko,nāna nei koe i whai āhua ai, nō roto mai anō i te kōpū:“Ko Ihowā ahau, ko te kaihanga o ngā mea katoa,nāku anake ngā rangi i hora,nāku i takoto ai te whenua;ko wai tōku hoa?

²⁵“Ko ngā tohu a te hunga kōrero teka hē ana i a ia,ko ngā tohunga tūāhu whakahaurangitia ana e ia;ko te hunga whakaaro nui, whakahokia ana e ia ki muri,ko tō rātou mātauranga, whakapōauautia iho.²⁶Mana pū i a ia te kupu a tāna pononga,te whakaaro a āna karere rite rawa i a ia.“Ko tāna kupu ki Hiruhārama, ‘Ka nohoia koe,’ki ngā pā o Hūrā, ‘Ka hangā koutou,māku anō e whakaara ōna wāhi kua ururuatia.’²⁷Ko tāna kupu ki te rire, ‘Kia mimiti;māku anō e whakamaroke ōu awa.’²⁸Ko tāna kupu mō Hairuha, ‘He hēpara ia nāku,ka rite anō i a ia tāku katoa i pai ai’;māna hoki e kī ki Hiruhārama, ‘Ka hangā koe,’ā, ki te temepara, ‘Ka whakatakotoria ōu tūranga.’ ”
