Ngā Pōuri o Hiruhārama

¹Taukiri e! Noho mokemoke ana te pāi kī nei i te tangata!Ānō tōna rite he pouaru!Kua waiho hei hoatu takoha te mea i nui nei i roto i ngā iwi,te rangatira i roto i ngā kāwanatanga!

²Nui atu tāna tangi i te pō,ā, kei ōna pāpāringa ōna roimata;i roto i te hunga katoa i aroha ki a ia,kāhore he kaiwhakamārie mōna;kua tinihanga ōna hoa ki a ia,kua meinga rātou hei hoariri mōna.

³Kua haere a Hūrā ki te whakarau,he tangi hoki, he whakamahinga nui;kei te noho ia i roto i ngā tauiwi,kāhore e kitea e ia he tānga manawa.Kua hopukia ia e ōna kaiwhai katoai roto i ngā wāhi kūiti.

⁴Kei te tangi ngā ara o Hiona,nō te mea kāhore he tangata e haere mai ana ki te huihuinga nui.Kua ururuatia ōna kūwaha katoa,e auē ana āna tohunga,ko āna wāhina kei te pōuri,ā, ko ia, kei roto ia i te mamae.

⁵Kua waiho ōna hoariri hei upoko,kei te noho hūmārie ōna hoa whawhai.Nō te mea kua whiua ia e Ihowāmō ōna hē maha.Kua riro āna tamariki hei pāraui te aroaro o te hoariri.

⁶Kua wehe atu i te tamāhine a Hionatōna nui katoa.Kua rite ōna rangatira ki ngā hātakīhai i pono ki te wāhi kai,haere kahakore ana rātoui te aroaro o te kaiwhai.

⁷E mahara ana a Hiruhāramai ngā rā o tōna tangi, o ōna wherūtanga,ki āna mea āhuareka katoao ngā rā ō mua.I te takanga o tōna iwi ki roto ki te ringa o te hoariri,ā, kāhore he kaiāwhina mōna,ka kite ngā hoariri i a ia,ka kata ki ōna mutunga.

⁸Nui atu te hara o Hiruhārama;nā reira ia i meinga ai, anō hei mea poke.Ko te hunga katoa i whakahōnore i a ia, whakahāwea ana ki a ia,nō te mea kua kite rātou i tōna tahangatanga;āe rā, kei te auē ia,kei te hoki ki muri.

⁹Kei ōna kurupatu tōna poke,kāhore ōna mahara ki tōna whakamutunga;nā reira he hanga whakamīharo tōna tukunga iho ki raro;kāhore he kaiwhakamārie mōna.“E Ihowā, titiro mai ki tōku mate,kua whakahirahira hoki te hoariri i a ia!”

¹⁰Kua wherahia atu te ringa o te hoariri ki rungaki āna mea āhuareka katoa;kua kite nei ia i ngā iwie tomo mai ana ki tōna wāhi tapu,ērā i ako rā koe kia kaua rātoue uru ki tāu whakaminenga.

¹¹Kei te auē tōna iwi katoa,kei te rapu taro rātou;e hoatu ana e rātou ā rātou mea āhuareka hei utu kai,hei whakahauora ake mō te wairua.“Titiro mai, e Ihowā, whakaaro mai,kua whakahouhou hoki ahau.”

¹²“He kāhore noa iho tēnei ki a koutou,e koutou e haere nei i te ara?Whakaaro mai, titiro mai,e rite ana rānei tētahi mamae ki tōku mamae,e mahia nei mōku,ki tā Ihowā nei whiu mōkui te rā i mura ai tōna riri?

¹³“Kua tukua iho nei e ia i runga,he ahi ki ōku wheua, ā, e wera ana i tērā.Kua horahia e ia he kupenga mō ōku waewae,kua whakahokia ahau ki muri.Kua tukua ahau e ia ki te kāhore,ki te whakaruhi, ā pau noa te rā.

¹⁴“Ko te ioka o ōku hē herea ihoe tōna ringa, whiri rawa,kua eke ake ki runga ki tōku kakī;kua hē i a ia tōku kaha,kua tukua ahau e te Ariki ki te ringa tāngata,ā, kāhore ōku kaha ki te whakatika ake.

¹⁵“Kua kore noa iho i te Arikiōku mārohirohi katoa i roto i ahau;kua karangatia e ia he huihui ki ahauhei wāwāhi i āku taitama.Kua takatakahia e te Arikite tamāhine wāhina a Hūrā,ānō he takahanga wāina.

¹⁶“Nā ēnei mea ahau i tangi ai;ko tōku kanohi, tārere ana te wai o tōku kanohi.Nō te mea kei tawhiti atu i ahau te kaiwhakamāriehei whakahauora ake i tōku wairua.Ko āku tamariki kei te noho kau noa iho,nō te mea kua kaha te hoariri.”

¹⁷Kua wherahia e Hiona ōna ringa;kāhore he kaiwhakamārie mōna.Nā Ihowā te whakahau mō Hākopa,hei hoariri mōna te hunga e karapoti ana i a ia;kua rite a Hiruhāramai roto i a rātou ki te wahine e paheke ana.

¹⁸“He tika hoki a Ihowā;i whakakeke hoki ahau ki tāna kupu.Tēnā whakarongo mai, e ngā iwi katoa,titiro mai hoki ki tōku mamae;kua riro āku wāhina, āku taitama,i te whakarau.

¹⁹“I karanga ahau ki te hunga i aroha ki ahau,heoi kei te tinihanga ki ahau;ko ōku tohunga, ko ōku kaumātua,hemo noa iho rātou i roto i te pā,i a rātou e rapu kai anamā rātou hei whakahauora ake i ō rātou wairua.

²⁰“Titiro mai, e Ihowā, he mamae hoki tōku,e ohooho ana ōku whēkau;ko tōku ngākau hurikiko ana i roto i ahau;he nui noa atu hoki tōku whakakeke.I waho ko te hoari ki te whakamōtī,i roto kei te mate te rite.

²¹“Kua rongo rātou kei te auē ahau,tē ai he kaiwhakamārie mōku.Kua rongo ōku hoariri katoa ki tōku matenga,koa ana rātou ki tāu i mea ai.Ka kawea mai e koe te rā i karangatia e koe,ā, ka rite rātou ki ahau.

²²“Kia tae tō rātou kino katoa ki tōu aroaro;meatia anō ki a rātou tāui mea mai ai ki ahau mō ōku hē katoa.Ka maha nei hoki ōku auētanga;ko tōku ngākau whakaruhi rawa.”
