1“He aha ngā wā te whakapūrangatia ai e te Kaha Rawa?Ā, he aha hoki te hunga e mōhio ana ki a ia tē kite ai i ōna rā?2Tērā ētahi e whakaneke atu ana i ngā rohe;e kāhakina ana e rātou ngā kāhui, whāngaia iho e rātou.3E āia atu ana e rātou te kāihe a ngā pani,e tangohia ana hei taunaha te kau a te pouaru.4Whakapekaia kētia ana e rātou ngā rawakore i te ara;huihui ana ngā ware o te whenua, piri ana.5Nanā, rite tonu rātou ki te kāihe mohoao i te koraha,haere atu ana ki tā rātou mahi,e whai ana ki te kai;hei kai te koraha mā rātou, mā ā rātou tamariki.6E kotia ana e rātou tā rātou wīti i te māra;e kohia ana e rātou ngā wāina a te hunga tutū.7E takoto tahanga ana rātou i te pō roa, kāhore he kākahu,kāhore hoki he hīpoki i te māeke.8Mākū iho rātou i te āwhā o ngā maunga,ā, ka kore he rerenga, ka awhi i te kāmaka.9“Tērā te hunga, e tangohia mai ana e rātou te pani i te ū,e tango ana i tā te rawakore taunaha.10Koia ka haere tahanga rātou, kāhore he kākahu,ā, i te matekai ka hari i ngā paihere wīti;11e mahi nei i te hinu i roto i ngā taiepa a aua tāngata;e takahi nei i ā rātou poka wāina, me te mate i te wai.12E auē ana ngā tāngata i roto i te pā,e karanga ana hoki te wairua o te hunga i patua;kāhore anō ia a te Atua whakakūware ki a rātou.13“Nō te hunga rātou e whakakeke ana ki te mārama;kāhore ō rātou mōhio ki ōna ara,e kore anō rātou e noho ki ōna huarahi.14E maranga ana te kaikōhuru i te mea ka mārama,patua iho e ia te ware me te rawakore;ā, i te pō ka pēnā ia i te tāhae.15E tatari ana te kanohi o te tangata pūremu kia nehunehu iho,e mea ana, ‘E kore te kanohi e kite i ahau’;e huna ana ia i tōna mata.16E keri ana rātou i ngā whare i te pōuri;i te awatea e pā ana rātou i a rātou;kāhore rātou e mōhio ki te mārama.17Ki a rātou katoa hoki e rite ana te ata ki te ātārangi o te mate;e mātau ana hoki rātou ki ngā whakamataku o te ātārangi o te mate.18“Tere tonu ia ki runga ki te mata o ngā wai;he mea kanga tō rātou wāhi i runga i te whenua;e kore ia e anga mai ki te ara ki ngā māra wāina.19Ka riro ngā wai o te hukarere i te tauraki, i te wera;te hunga hara anō hoki i te rēinga.20Ka wareware te kōpū ki a ia;he kai reka ia mā te iro;e kore ia e maharatia i muri iho;ka whati hoki te kino ānō he rākau.21“E tūkinotia ana e ia te pākoko kīhai nei i whānau;kāhore hoki āna mahi pai ki te pouaru.22E kūmea atu ana hoki e ia ngā mārohirohi ki tōna kaha;ka whakatika ake ia, kāhore he tangata e ū ki te ora.23I hōmai anō e te Atua ki a rātou kia au te noho,ā, ka whakawhirinaki rātou ki reira;kei runga hoki i ō rātou huarahi ōna kanohi.24E whakanekehia ake ana rātou; otiia wāhi iti nei, kua kāhore noa iho rātou;āe rā, ka whakaitia rātou,ka whakawāteatia atu pērā i ērā atu katoa,ā, ka tapahia atu ānō ko ngā kāuru o ngā puku wīti.25“Ki te mea he teka tēnei, ko wai hei whakateka ki ahau,hei whakakāhore i tāku kōrero?”
