Ka Tohe a Ihowā ki a Īharaira kia Rīpenetā

¹I puta anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea:²“Haere, karanga ki ngā taringa o Hiruhārama, mea atu, Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:E mahara ana ahau ki a koe,ki te mahi pai a tōu tamarikitanga,ki te aroha i tōu mārenatanga,i a koe i aru i ahau i te koraha,i te whenua kīhai i whakatōkia.³He tapu a Īharaira ki a Ihowā,ko ngā mātāmua ia o ōna hua.Ko te hunga katoa e kai ana i a ia,ka kīia he hē tā rātou;ka pā te kino ki a rātou,”e ai tā Ihowā.

⁴Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowā, e te whare o Hākopa,e ngā hapū katoa o te whare o Īharaira.

⁵Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:“He aha tāku kino i mau i ō koutou mātua,i matara atu ai rātou i ahau,i whai ai rātou i te horihori,ā, horihori iho rātou?⁶Kāhore hoki ā rātou kīanga ake, ‘Kei hea a Ihowā,nāna nei tātou i kawe mai i te whenua o Īhipa,nāna nei tātou i ārahi i te koraha,i te whenua tītōhea, he maha nei ngā rua,i te whenua o te matewai, o te ātārangi o te mate,i te whenua kīhai i haerea e te tangata,kīhai anō i nohoia e te tangata?’⁷Ā, nāku koutou i kawe mai ki te whenua maha ōna hua,ki te kai i ōna hua, i ōna mea papai.Nā, i tō koutou taenga mai, kei te whakapoke i tōku whenua,meinga ana e koutou tōku wāhi tupu hei mea whakarihariha.⁸Kāhore ngā tohunga i kī, ‘Kei hea a Ihowā?’Ko ngā kairahurahu o te ture, kāhore i mātau ki ahau;kua hē hoki ngā rangatira ki ahau;ko ngā poropiti, nā Paara ngā tikanga i poropiti ai rātou,whāia ana e rātou ngā mea kāhore nei he pai.

⁹“Mō reira ka totohe anō ahau ki a koutou,”e ai tā Ihowā,“ka totohe hoki ahau ki ngā tama a ā koutou tama.¹⁰Tēnā rā, whiti atu ki ngā motu o Kitimi titiro ai;unga tāngata anō ki Kerara, ka whakaaroaro mārie;tirohia hoki mehemea tērā anō te rite o tēnei mea i mua.¹¹I whakaputaia kētia rānei ōna atua e tētahi iwi,ehara nei anō i te atua?Nā, ko tōku iwi, kua whakaputaina kētia e rātou tō rātou korōriahei mea kāhore ōna pai.¹²Mīharo mai, e ngā rangi, ki tēnei,kia nui hoki te wehi, kia ngaro noa iho,”e ai tā Ihowā.¹³“Ka rua hoki ngā hē kua mahia nei e tāku iwi:Ko ahau, ko te puna o ngā wai orakua mahue i a rātou,haua iho e rātou ētahi poka, he poka pakaru,e kore nei e mau te wai ki roto.¹⁴He pononga rānei a Īharaira? He pononga i whānau ki te whare?He aha ia i waiho ai hei pāhuatanga?¹⁵Kua ngengere ngā raiona kūao ki a ia,kua hāmama;ā, kua meinga e rātou tōna whenua kia ururua;kua tahuna ōna pā, kāhore hoki he tangata noho i reira.¹⁶I pakaru anō tōu tumuakii ngā tamariki o Nopo, o Tahapanehe.¹⁷He teka ianei nāu anō tēnei i mahi ki a koe,i te mea nāu i whakarere a Ihowā, tōu Atua,i a ia e ārahi ana i a koe i te ara?¹⁸Tēnā rā ko te aha māu i te ara ki Īhipai inu ai koe i ngā wai o Hihoro?He aha rānei māu i te ara ki Ahiria,i inu ai koe i ngā wai o te awa?¹⁹Ko tōu hē anō hei riri i tāu,ko ōu tahuritanga kētanga anō hei papaki i a koe.Kia mōhio koe, kia kite hoki,he mea kino, he mea kawa,kei tāu whakarerenga i a Ihowā, i tōu Atua,kāhore hoki ōu wehi ki ahau,”e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā o ngā mano.

²⁰“I wāhia hoki tōu ioka e ahau i mua,motumotuhia ana e ahau ōu here;ā, kī mai ana koe, ‘E kore ahau e mahi!’Heoi, i runga koe i ngā pukepuke tiketike katoa,i raro hoki i ngā rākau kōuru nui katoa,e koropiko ana, e kairau ana.²¹He wāina pai anō koe i tāku whakatōkanga i a koe,he momo pai katoa.Nā te aha koe i puta kē ai ki ahau,he mea kua heke te tupu, he wāina kē?²²Ahakoa i horoi koe i a koe ki te hōura,ā, nui noa tāu hopi,e mau ana anō tōu hē ki tōku aroaro,”e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā.²³“He pēhea tāu kī, ‘Kāhore ōku poke,kīhai ahau i whai i a Paarimi’?Tirohia iho ōu ara i te raorao,kia mōhio ki āu mahi –tōu rite, kei te kāmera tere, kōpikopiko tonu ōna ara;²⁴kei te kāihe mohoao kua mōhio ki te koraha,e hongi ana i te hau mō tōna hiahia;ka matenui ia ko wai hei whakahoki i a ia?Ko te hunga katoa e rapu ana i a iae kore e whakangenge noa i a rātou;i tōna marama anō ka kitea ia e rātou.²⁵Kaiponuhia tōu waewae, kei kore te hū,tōu korokoro hoki kei mate i te wai.Nā, kei te mea koe, ‘Kua hē!Kāhore; he tāngata kē hoki āku i aroha ai,ā, ko rātou tāku e whai ai.’

²⁶“Ka whakamā te tāhae ina mau,ka pēnā anō te whare o Īharaira, ka whakamā –rātou ko ō rātou kīngi, ko ō rātou rangatira,ko ō rātou tohunga, ko ō rātou poropiti.²⁷I a rātou e mea nā ki te rākau, ‘Ko koe tōku pāpā,’ki te kāmaka, ‘I whānau ahau i roto i a koe.’Hurihia ake e rātou ko te kōhamo ki ahau,kāhore hoki te aroaro;heoi i te wā e hē ai rātou, ka kī mai rātou,‘Whakatika ki te whakaora i a mātou.’²⁸Kei hea rā ōu atua i hangā e koe mōu?Kia whakatika rātou, ki te mea ka ora koei a rātou i te wā e hē ai koe.Rite tonu hoki ki ōu pāte maha o ōu atua, e Hūrā.

²⁹“He aha te mea e totohe ai koutou ki ahau?Kua mahi kē koutou katoa i te kino ki ahau,”e ai tā Ihowā.³⁰“Maumau whiu noa ahau i ā koutou tamariki;kīhai rātou i ākona.Ko tā koutou hoari nāna i kai ō koutou poropiti,i pērā anō me tā te raiona kai kino.

³¹“E te whakatupuranga nei, whakaaroa te kupu a Ihowā!He koraha rānei ahau ki a Īharaira,he whenua pōuri kerekere?He aha tāku iwi i mea ai, ‘Kua matara mātou;heoi anō ō mātou taenga atu ki a koe’?³²E wareware rānei te kōtiro ki āna whakapaipai,te wahine mārena hou ki ōna whītiki?Ko tāku iwi ia kua wareware ki ahau,e kore ngā rā e taea te tatau.³³Tāu mahi ki te whakapai i tōu ara hei rapunga i te aroha!Nā, kei te whakaako koe i ngā wāhine kikino anō hoki ki ōu ara.³⁴Kua kitea anō ki ngā remu o ōu kākahute toto o ngā wairua o ngā ware harakore.Kīhai i kitea e ahau i te wāhi i pakaru ai,engari i runga i ēnei katoa.³⁵Heoi, kei te kī nā koe, ‘He harakore nei ahau;he pono e tahuri kē atu ana tōna riri i ahau.’Nanā, ka whakawā ahau i a koe,mō tāu kīanga, ‘Kāhore ōku hara.’³⁶He aha koe i kōpikopiko rawa ai,i mea ai kia pōkaia kētia he ara mōu?Ka whakamā anō koe ki Īhipa,ka pērā me koe i whakamā rā ki Ahiria.³⁷Inā, ka haere atu anō koe i reira,i runga anō ōu ringa i tōu mātenga,nō te mea kua paopao a Ihowā ki ōu whakawhirinakitanga,e kore anō koe e whai wāhi i ēnā.”
