Ka Heipū tonu te Whiunga

¹Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki ahau: “Ahakoa i tū a Mohi rāua ko Hamuera ki tōku aroaro, e kore ahau e whai ngākau ki tēnei iwi. Makā atu rātou i tōku aroaro, kia haere atu rātou.²Nā, ki te mea rātou ki a koe, ‘Me haere mātou ki hea?’ kātahi koe ka mea ki a rātou, ‘Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:Ko ngā mea mō te mate, ki te mate,ā, ko ngā mea mā te hoari, ki te hoari;ko ngā mea hoki mō te hemokai, ki te hemokai;ā, ko ngā mea mō te whakarau, ki te whakarau.’

³“E whā hoki ngā tū mea e whakaritea e ahau mō rātou,” e ai tā Ihowā, “ko te hoari hei whakamate, ko ngā kurī hei haehae, ā, ko ngā manu o te rangi, ko ngā kararehe hoki o te whenua hei kai, hei whakamōtī.⁴Ka tukua hoki rātou e ahau kia poipoia haeretia i waenga i ngā kīngitanga katoa o te whenua, mō tā Mānahi tama a Hetekia kīngi o Hūrā, mō tāna i mea ai ki Hiruhārama.⁵Ko wai oti e tohu i a koe, e Hiruhārama,ko wai rānei e tangi ki a koe?Ko wai e peka atu ki te ui,kei te ora rānei koe?⁶Kua whakarērea ahau e koe,” e ai tā Ihowā,“kua hoki whakamuri koe.Koia i totoro atu ai tōku ringa ki a koe, i whakamōtītia ai koe;kua hōhā ahau ki te rīpenetā.⁷Kua pōwhiriwhiritia rātou e ahau ki te mea pōwhiriwhirii ngā kūwaha o te whenua;kua whakapania rātou e ahau i te tamariki,kua ngaro i ahau tāku iwi;kāhore rātou i tahuri mai i ō rātou ara.⁸Ko ā rātou pouaru i tōku aroaro kua tokomaha atui te onepū o ngā moana;kua kawea e ahau ki a rātou, hei hoariri mō te whaea o ngā taitama,he kaipāhua i te poutūmārōtanga;kua meinga e ahau kia pā whakarereki a ia te pāwera me te tūmatatenga.⁹Ngohe kau te wahine ka tokowhitu nei āna tamariki;kua hemo tōna wairua;kua rere tōna rā i te mea ko te awatea nei anō;kua whakamā hoki ia, kua numinumi kau.Ka tukua atu hoki e ahau ō rātou mōrehu ki te hoarii te aroaro o ō rātou hoariri,”e ai tā Ihowā.

Ka Amuamu anō a Heremaia, ā, ka Whakaahurua

¹⁰Auē, tōku mate, e tōku whaea, i whānau mai ahaui roto i a koe he tangata totohe,he tangata ngangare ki te whenua katoa!Kīhai ahau i whakatārewa atu i te moni whakatupu,kīhai anō te moni whakatupu i whakatārewaina mai ki ahau;otiia kei te kanga rātou katoa ki ahau.

¹¹I mea a Ihowā:“He pono ka whakakahangia koe e ahau mō te pai;he pono ka meinga e ahau te hoariri kia īnoi ki a koei te wā o te hē, i te wā o te mamae.

¹²“E taea rānei e tētahi te wāhi te rino,te rino o te raki, te parāhi rānei?¹³Ka hoatu e ahau ōu rawa me ōu taongahei taonga parakete, kāhore hoki he utu,ā, hei mea tērā mō ōu hara katoa,arā i ōu rohe katoa.¹⁴Ā, ka meinga rātou e ahau kia haere tahi me ōu hoaririki te whenua kīhai i mōhiotia e koe;nō te mea kei te ngiha he ahi i ahau e riri nei,kā tonu atu ki a koutou.”

¹⁵E Ihowā, e mōhio ana koe;mahara ki ahau, tirohia ahau,rapua he utu mō tōku matenga i ōku kaitūkino.Kaua ahau e tangohia atu i a koe ka pūhoi nei ki te riri;kia mōhio koe, mōu ahau i tāwaia ai.¹⁶I kitea āu kupu, ā, kainga ake e ahau,ā, ki ahau hei whakakoa,hei whakahari āu kupu mō tōku ngākau;kua huaina hoki tōu ingoa mōku,e Ihowā, e te Atua o ngā mano.¹⁷Kīhai ahau i noho i roto i te whakaminenga o te hunga whakahī,kīhai i whakamanamana atu;i noho mokemoke ahau, he whakaaro ki tōu ringa;kua whakakīia nei hoki ahau e koe ki te riri.¹⁸He aha tōku mamae i mau tonu ai,tōku patunga tē mahu ai,tē pai ai ki te rongoā?Ka rite rawa rānei koe ki ahau me te awa pāremoremo,me ngā wai e kore e mau?¹⁹Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:“Ki te hoki koe nā ka whakahokia koe e ahau,kia tū ai koe ki tōku aroaro,ā, ki te tangohia atu e koe te mea utu nui i te mea kino,ka rite koe ki tōku māngai.Ko rātou e hoki ki a koe,kaua ia koe e hoki ki a rātou.²⁰Ka meinga hoki koe e ahau ki tēnei iwihei taiepa parāhi;ā, ka whawhai rātou ki a koe,otiia e kore rātou e kaha ki a koe;nō te mea kei a koe ahauhei whakaora i a koe, e mawhiti ai koe,”e ai tā Ihowā.²¹“Ka meinga anō koe e ahau kia mawhiti i roto i te ringa o te hunga kino,ka hokona anō koe e ahau i roto i te ringa o te hunga nanakia.”
