Ihāia46
1Kua piko a Pere, kua tuohu a Nepo;kei runga i te kīrehe, i te kararehe ā rātou whakapakoko;ko ngā mea e haria haeretia ana e koutou ka meinga hei kawenga,hei taimaha ki te kararehe māuiui rā.2Tuohu ana rātou, piko ngātahi ana;kīhai i taea te pīkaunga te pupuri,heoi ko rātou nei anō ka riro hei pārau.3“Whakarongo ki ahau, e te whare o Hākopa,e ngā mōrehu katoa o te whare o Īharaira,he mea waha nei koutou nāku nō te kōpū mai anō,he mea pīkau nō roto mai rā anō i te puku;4tae noa atu ki tō koutou koroheketanga ko ahau tēnei,ka pīkaua anō koutou e ahau ā hina noa.Nāku i mahi, māku anō e mau;māku anō e pīkau, māku anō e whakaora.5“Ki tā koutou kei tō wai he āhua mōku?Ko wai e rite ana ki ahau?Me whakarite ahau ki a wai, e kotahi ai tō māua āhua?6Ko te hunga e tāhoro ana i te kōura i te pēke,e pāuna ana i te hiriwa ki te pāuna –kei te utu i te kaitahu kōura, hangā ake e ia hei atua;tāpapa ana rātou, koropiko ana.7Amohia ana ia e rātou i runga i te pokohiwi, pīkaua ana,kua waiho e rātou ki tōna wāhi, tū ana ia;tē taea e ia te nekeneke atu i tōna wāhi.Ka karanga anō hoki tētahi ki a ia, heoi e kore ia e whakahoki kupu,e kore e whakaora i a ia i roto i tōna mate.8“Mahara ki tēnei, whakatāne,whakahokia ki te ngākau, e te hunga poka kē.9Maharatia ngā mea tuatahi onamata;ko ahau hoki te Atua, kāhore kē atu;ko ahau te Atua, kāhore hoki tētahi hei rite mōku.10I te tīmatanga e whakaatu ana i ngā mea o te mutunga,ā, i ngā wā onamata ko ngā mea kāhore anō i meatia;i kī ahau: Ko te whakaaro i whakatakotoria e ahau mau tonu,ka oti anō i ahau tāku katoa i pai ai.11Ka karangatia hoki e ahau he manu kai kino i te rāwhiti,ko te tangata kei a ia tōku whakaaro i te whenua tawhiti.Inā, kua kōrerotia nei e ahau, ka whakaputaina anō e ahau;kua takoto i ahau, ka oti anō i ahau.12“Whakarongo ki ahau, e te hunga ngākau pakari,e matara atu ana i te tika.13Ka kawea mai e ahau tōku tika kia tata;e kore e matara atu;e kore anō tāku whakaora e roa;ka whakawhiwhia anō e ahau a Hiona ki te whakaora,mō Īharaira, mō tōku korōria.”
