He Whakawātanga ki Papurōna

¹“Haere iho, e noho ki te puehu,e te tamāhine wāhina a Papurōna!E noho ki te whenua, kāhore he torōna,e te tamāhine a ngā Karari!E kore hoki koe e kīia i murihe kiri angiangi, he whakatarapī.²E mau ki ngā kōhatu mira, hurihia he parāoa;tangohia ake tōu ārai,huhua ake te waewae, kia takoto kau te hūhā;e whiti i ngā awa.³Ka kitea ōu wāhi e takoto tahanga ana,āe rā, ka kitea tōu mea e whakamā ai koe.Ka rapu utu ahau,e kore anō e whakaae ki tētahi tangata.⁴Ko tō tātou kaihoko – ko Ihowā o ngā mano tōna ingoa –ko te Mea Tapu o Īharaira.

⁵“Noho kupukore, haere ki te pōuri,e te tamāhine a ngā Karari;e kore hoki koe e kīia i muri,ko te wahine rangatira o ngā kīngitanga.⁶I riri ahau ki tāku iwi,i whakapokea tōku kāinga tupu;tukua ana e ahau ki tōu ringa;kīhai i puta tōu aroha ki a rātou,whakataimahatia rawatia iho e koe tāu iokaki te kaumātua.⁷I mea anō koe, ‘Hei wahine rangatira ahau ake ake,’nā, kīhai noa iho tōu ngākau i mea ki ēnei mea;kīhai koe i mahara ki tōna mutunga.

⁸“Nā, whakarongo āianei ki tēnei,e te wahine e whai nā ki ngā āhuareka,e noho kore wehi nā,e mea nā i roto i tōu ngākau,‘Tēnei ahau, kāhore atu hoki, ko ahau anake;e kore ahau e noho pouaru,e kore ahau e mōhio ki te matenga o ngā tamariki.’⁹Otirā, ka pā whakarere ēneie rua ki a koe i te rā kotahi:te matenga o ngā tamariki, te pouarutanga;ka pā ēnei ki a koe i tōna tōnuitanga,ahakoa te nui o āu mahi mākutu,te maha rawa o āu whaiwhaiā.¹⁰I whakawhirinaki hoki koe ki tōu kino,i mea, ‘Kāhore he kaititiro mōku.’Ko ōu whakaaro nui me tōu mōhio,nā ēnā koe i whakangau kē;i mea ai koe i tōu ngākau,‘Ko ahau tēnei, kāhore kē atu, ko ahau anake.’¹¹Mō reira ka tae mai te kino ki a koe,e kore tōna putanga e mōhiotia e koe,ka taka anō te hē ki a koe,e kore e taea e koe te karo;ka tae hohoro mai anō ki a koe te whakangaro,e kore e mōhiotia e koe.

¹²“Tēnā rā, e tū, me āu whaiwhaiā,me āu mākutu maha,i mahia rā e koe i tōu tamarikitanga ake,me kāhore koe e whai pai,me kāhore tāu e taea.¹³Kua hōhā koe i te maha o ngā whakaaro i whakatakotoria e koe.Tēnā rā, kia tū ngā kaiwhakaaro ki ngā rangi,ngā kaititiro ki ngā whetū,ngā mea mōhio ki ngā marama,kia whakaorangia koe e rātoui ngā mea meāke tūpono ki a koe.¹⁴Nanā, ka rite rātou ki te kakau wīti,ka wera i te ahi;e kore rātou e ora i te ngaunga a te ahi;ehara i te ngārahu hei whakamahanatanga,ehara hoki i te ahi hei painatanga.¹⁵Nā, ka pērā ngā mea ki a koe, i mahi ai koe ki reira;ko te hunga i hokohoko ki a koe mai i tōu taitamarikitanga,ka kotiti atu rātou ki tōna wāhi, ki tōna wāhi;kāhore he kaiwhakaora mōu.”
