Ngā Ariki Kino me ngā Poropiti Kino

¹Ā, i mea ahau:“Whakarongo mai, e ngā upoko o Hākopa,e ngā ariki o te whare o Īharaira!He teka ianei mō koutou te mātauranga ki te whakawā?²E kino nā ki te pai, e aroha nā ki te kino;e tīhore nā i tō rātou kiri i ō rātou tinana,i tō rātou kikokiko i ō rātou wheua;³e kai nā hoki i ngā kikokiko o tāku iwi;e tīhore nā i tō rātou kiri i ō rātou tinana,e wāwāhi nā i ō rātou wheua;āe rā, e tapatapahia rawatia ana e rātou,ānō he mea mō te kōhua,ānō he kikokiko i roto i te kōhua nui.”

⁴Ko reira rātou karanga ai ki a Ihowā,heoi e kore ia e whakahoki kupu ki a rātou.Āe rā, ka hunā e ia tōna mata ki a rātou i taua wā,ka rite ki tō rātou kino i mahia e rātou.

⁵Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:“Mō ngā poropiti e whakapōhēhē nei i tāku iwi,e ngau nei ō rātou niho,me te karanga, ‘He rongo māu’;ā, ki te kāhore e komotia e tētahi he mea ki ō rātou māngai,ka tino anga rātou ki te whakataka whawhai ki a ia.⁶Mō reira ko te pō mō koutou,e kore ai he kite ki a koutou;ā, ka pōuri ki a koutou,e kore ai koutou e kite tikanga;ā, ka tō te rā ki ngā poropiti,ā, ka mangu te awatea ki runga ki a rātou.⁷Ā, tērā e whakamā ngā matakite,e numinumi hoki ngā tohunga tūāhu;āe rā, tērā rātou katoa e ārai i ō rātou ngutu;nō te mea kāhore he kupu whakahoki a te Atua.”

⁸Otiia, he pono, kua kī ahau i te kaha,he mea nā te Wairua o Ihowā,i te whakawā hoki, i te mana,kia whakaaturia ai e ahau ki a Hākopa tōna poka kē,ki a Īharaira tōna hara.⁹Tēnā rā, whakarongo ki tēnei,e ngā upoko o te whare o Hākopa,e ngā ariki hoki o te whare o Īharaira,e whakarihariha nā ki te whakawā,e whakapeau kē nā i te tika katoa.¹⁰E hanga ana rātou i Hiona ki te toto,i Hiruhārama ki te hē.¹¹E whakawā ana ōna upoko, he mea nā te patipati,e whakaako ana ōna tohunga, he mea nā te utu;ko ōna poropiti nā te hiriwa i kite tikanga ai;otiia kei te whakawhirinaki rātou ki a Ihowā, kei te mea,“He teka ianei kei roto a Ihowā i a tātou?E kore tētahi hē e pā ki a tātou.”¹²Mō reira ka parautia a Hiona,ānō he māra, he mea mō koutou,ā, ka waiho a Hiruhārama hei pūranga,ka rite hoki te maunga o te whareki ngā wāhi tiketike o te ngahere.
