Ka Arumia a Heremaia e Pahuru

¹Nā, ka rongo a Pahuru tama a Imere tohunga, tino kāwana i roto i te whare o Ihowā, i a Heremaia e poropiti ana i ēnei mea.²Kātahi a Pahuru ka patu i a Heremaia poropiti, kuhuna ana e ia ki te here waewae i te Kūwaha o Runga o Pineamine, ki tērā i te whare o Ihowā.³Nā, i te aonga ake ka whakaputaina mai a Heremaia e Pahuru i te here waewae. Kātahi a Heremaia ka mea ki a ia, “Ehara a Pahuru i te ingoa i huaina e Ihowā mōu, engari ko Mākoro Mihapipi.⁴Nō te mea ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā: ‘Nanā, ka meinga koe e ahau hei whakawehi mōu anō, mō ōu hoa katoa anō hoki; ka hinga rātou i te hoari a ō rātou hoariri, me te titiro anō ōu kanohi. Ka hoatu anō e ahau a Hūrā katoa ki te ringa o te kīngi o Papurōna, ā, māna rātou e whakarau ki Papurōna, e patu ki te hoari.⁵Ka hoatu anō e ahau ngā rawa katoa o tēnei pā, me āna mea katoa i hua mai, me āna mea utu nui katoa, āe rā, me ngā taonga katoa o ngā kīngi o Hūrā, ka hoatu e ahau ki te ringa o ō rātou hoariri, ā, ka pāhuatia e rātou, ka tangohia, ka maua hoki ki Papurōna.⁶Nā, ko koe, e Pahuru, koutou ko ngā tāngata katoa e noho ana i tōu whare, ka riro koutou ki te whakarau; ā, ka tae koe ki Papurōna, mate atu ki reira, tanumia atu ki reira, a koe me ōu hoa aroha katoa, i poropiti teka atu nā koe ki a rātou.’ ”

Ka Whakahorihori a Heremaia i ōna Kaiaru

⁷E Ihowā, nāu ahau i hangarau,ā, raru ana ahau;he kaha rawa koe i ahau,ā, kua taea tāu.Kua waiho ahau hei whakakatanga i te rā katoa,kei te whakatoia ahau e te katoa.⁸I ōku kōrerotanga katoa hoki, ka hāmama ahau;ka karanga ahau, “He mahi nanakia, he pāhua!”Nō te mea kua waiho te kupu a Ihowā hei tāwainga mōku,hei whakatoinga, i te rā katoa.⁹Ā, ki te kī ahau, “E kore ahau e whakahua i a ia,e kore anō hoki e kōrero i runga i tōna ingoa ā muri ake nei,”nā, ka kā i roto i tōku ngākau me te mea he ahi e ngiha ana,tūtaki iho ki roto ki ōku wheua;ā, ka ruha ahau i te koromaki,ā, kāhore e taea e ahau te pupuri.¹⁰Kua rongo hoki ahau i te hahani a te tini:“He whakawehi i ngā taha katoa!Whakahēngia, ā, ka whakahēngia ia e mātou!”E ai tā ōku hoa tāpui katoa,te hunga e whanga ana i ahau kia tatū;“Tērā pea ia e taea te whakawai,ā, ka kaha tātou ki a ia,ā, ka whiwhi tātou ki te utu i a ia.”

¹¹Otiia kei ahau a Ihowā, ānō he mārohirohi,he mea whakamataku.Nā reira, ka tūtuki ngā waewae o ōku kaitūkino,e kore hoki tā rātou e taea.Tērā e nui tō rātou whakamā,he whakamā mau tonu,ā, e kore e warewarea,nō te mea kīhai i mahia tā rātou i runga i te whakaaro nui.¹²Otiia, e Ihowā o ngā mano, e whakamātautau nei i te tangata tika;e kite nei i ngā whatumanawa, i te ngākau,tukua ahau kia kite i tāu utu ki a rātou;kua whakakitea nei hoki e ahau ki a koe tāku totohe.

¹³Waiata ki a Ihowā!Whakamoemititia a Ihowā!Kua whakaorangia nei hoki e ia te wairua o te rawakorei te ringa o ngā kaimahi i te kino.

¹⁴Kia kangā te rangii whānau ai ahau;kaua e whakapaingia te rā i puta,mai ai ahau i roto i tōku whaea.¹⁵Kia kangā te tangatanāna i kawe te kōrero ki tōku pāpā, i mea,“Kua whānau he tamaiti māu, he tāne,”meinga ana kia nui tōna koa.¹⁶Kia rite taua tangata ki ngā pāi hurihia e Ihowā, kīhai nei i rīpenetātia e ia.Kia rangona e ia te karanga i te ata,te hāmama i te poutūmārōtanga;¹⁷he kore nōna kīhai i whakamate i ahau i te putanga mai anō i te kōpū;ā, kia waiho ai tōku whaea hei urupā mōku,kia mau tonu ai te hapū o tōna kōpū.¹⁸He aha ahau i puta mai ai i te kōpū,kia kite i te raruraru, i te māuiui,kia poto anō ōku rā i te whakamā?
