He Whiunga i te Hunga i Whakawhere i te Hunga Rawakore

¹Auē te mate mō te hunga e whakaaro nā ki te hē,e mahi nā i te kino i runga i ō rātou moenga!Tākiri rawa ake te ata kua mahia e rātou,nō te mea kei roto i te kaha o tō rātou ringa.²E hiahia ana rātou ki ngā māra, tangohia ake;ki ngā whare hoki riro tonu i a rātou.E whakatupuria kinotia ana e rātou tētahi tangata me tōna whare,te tangata rawa nei me tōna wāhi tupu.

³Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:“Nanā, ka whakaaroa e ahau he kino mō tēnei hapū,e kore ai e whakawāteatia e koutou ō koutou kakī i reira,e kore anō koutou e haere whakapehapeha;he kino hoki tēnei wā.⁴I taua rā ka ara i a rātou tētahi whakatauki mō koutou,ka tangi hoki i tētahi tangi mamae nui,ā, ka mea, ‘Kua pāhuatia rawatia tātou;kua puta kē i a ia te wāhi o tāku iwi.Auē, tāna wehenga atu i ahau!Wehea ana e ia ā tātou māra mā te hunga whakakeke.’ ”⁵Mō reira kāhore he tangata māu hei maka i te taura a te rotai roto i te whakaminenga a Ihowā.

⁶“Kaua koutou e poropiti,” ko tā rātou poropiti tēnei.“E kore rātou e poropiti ki ēnā;e kore ngā taunu e haere atu.”

⁷E kīia ianei, e te whare o Hākopa:“Kua kūiti te Wairua o Ihowā?Ko āna mahi ianei ēnei?”“He teka ianei he mahi pai tā āku kupuki te tangata e tika ana te haere?⁸Otiia, nō ēnei rā nei anō ka whakatika ake tāku iwiānō he hoariri;e tīhorea atu ana e koutou te koroka i te kākahuo te hunga e haere kore wehi noa atu anaānō he tangata e ngākaukore ana ki te whawhai.⁹Kua oti ngā wāhine o tāku iwi te pei e koutoui roto i ō rātou whare āhuareka;kua tangohia e koutou tōku korōriai ā rātou tamariki nonohi ā ake ake.¹⁰Whakatika, haere;ehara hoki tēnei i tō koutou okiokinga;he mea hoki mō te poke e whakangaro ana,e whakangaro kino rawa ana.¹¹Ki te kōrero teka tētahi tangata e haere ana i te hau, i te teka,ki te mea, ‘Ka poropiti ahau ki a koe mō te wāina, mō te wai kaha,’ko ia rawa anō hei poropiti mō tēnei iwi.”

He Kī Taurangi ki ngā Mōrehu o Īharaira

¹²“He pono ka kohikohi ahau i a koe katoa, e Hākopa;he pono ka whakawhāititia e ahau ngā mōrehu o Īharaira.Ka huihuia rātou e ahau, ka pērātia me ngā hipi o Potora;ka rite ki te kāhui i waenganui o tō rātou taiepa,ka nui tō rātou ngē i te tini hoki o te tangata.¹³Kua tae ake te kaiwāhi i tō rātou aroaro;kua pakaru mai rātou ki waho,kua tika i roto i te kūwaha, kua puta atu mā reira.Kua haere atu tō rātou kīngi i mua i a rātou,a Ihowā i tō rātou upoko.”
