E Mōhio ana au, e Ora ana Tōku Kaiwhakaora

¹Nā, ka whakautua e Hopa, ka mea:²“Kia pēhea ake te roa o tā koutou whakapōrearea i tōku wairua,o tā koutou wāwāhi i ahau ki te kupu?³Ka tekau ēnei tāwainga a koutou ki ahau,kāhore ō koutou whakamā i a koutou ka āki tonu nei i ahau.⁴Ki te mea anō hoki kua hē ahau,kei ahau anō tōku hē e noho ana.⁵Ki te mea ka whakanui mai koutou i a koutou ki ahau,ā, ka kauwhau mai ki ahau i tōku tāwainga;⁶kia mōhio koutou nā te Atua ahau i whakaparori i tāku take,he mea hao mai ahau nāna ki tāna kupenga.

⁷“Nanā, e tangi ana ahau i te mahi nanakia,heoi kāhore ahau e whakarangona;e karanga āwhina ana ahau, otiia kāhore he whakawā.⁸Kua tūtakina e ia tōku ara, tē puta ahau;tukua iho ana e ia te pōuri ki ōku ara.⁹Ko tōku korōria huia atu ana e ia;tangohia ana e ia te karauna i tōku māhunga.¹⁰Wāwāhia ana ahau e ia i ngā taha katoa, ā, riro ana ahau;ko tāku i tūmanako atu ai huaranga atu ana e ia ānō he rākau.¹¹Kua mura mai hoki tōna riri ki ahau;e kīia ana ahau e ia ko tētahi o ōna hoariri.¹²E haere huihui mai ana āna taua,e whakaneke ake ana i tō rātou ara ki ahau,kei te whakapae i tōku tēneti i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha.

¹³“Kua meinga e ia ōku tēina kia matara atu i ahau;ko āku i mōhio ai kua tāngata kē ki ahau.¹⁴Ko ōku whanaunga, mutu pū tā rātou;ko ōku hoa ake, kua wareware rātou ki ahau.¹⁵Ko te hunga e noho ana i tōku whare, me āku pononga wāhine,kīia iho ahau e rātou he tangata kē;he tangata nō ngā whenua ahau ki tā rātou titiro mai.¹⁶I karanga atu ahau ki tāku pononga, heoi kīhai ia i whakaō mai;ahakoa e īnoi ana tōku māngai ki a ia.¹⁷Ko tōku hā tauhou ana ki tāku wahine,me tāku īnoi hoki ki ngā tamariki o te kōpū o tōku whaea.¹⁸Ko ngā tamariki nonohi anō hoki, whakahāwea mai ana ki ahau;ki te whakatika ahau, ka kōrero whakahē rātou mōku.¹⁹E whakarihariha mai ana ki ahau ōku takahoa katoa,ā, ko āku i aroha ai kua tahuri mai ki ahau.²⁰Piri tonu tōku iwi ki tōku kiri, ki ōku kikokiko,ā, ora ake ōku, ko te kiri kau o ōku niho.

²¹“Tohungia mai ahau, tohungia mai ahau e koutou, e ōku hoa;kua pā mai hoki te ringa o te Atua ki ahau.²²He aha koutou i tūkino ai i ahau, i pērā ai me te Atua,tē mākona koutou i ōku kikokiko?

²³“Auē, me i tuhituhia āku kupu!Auē, me i tāia ki te pukapuka!²⁴Me i whaoa ki te kāmaka, ki te pene rino, ki te matā,hei mea mō ā mua noa atu!²⁵Otiia, e mōhio ana ahau kei te ora tōku kaihoko,ā, i ngā wā i muri nei ka tū ia ki runga ki te whenua.²⁶Ā, ahakoa i muri i te paunga o tōku kiri,ka titiro tonu ahau i roto i tōku kikokiko ki te Atua;²⁷e titiro anō ahau ki a ia, ahau nei anō;ā, mā ōku kanohi e mātakitaki, kāhore mā o tētahi atu.Pau rawa ōku whatumanawa i roto i ahau!

²⁸“Ki te kī koutou, ‘Nā, tā tātou hanga ki te tūkino i a ia!Kua kitea hoki te take o te mea i roto i ahau’;²⁹kia wehi koutou kei mate i te hoari;nō te mea ko te whiunga ki te hoari kei roto i te riri,e mōhio ai koutou he whakawā anō tēnei.”
