1Whakarongo koutou ināianei ki te kupu i kōrerotia e Ihowā:“Whakatika, totohe ki ngā maunga,kia rangona hoki tōu reo e ngā pukepuke.2Whakarongo, e ngā maunga nei, ki tā Ihowā totohe,e koutou hoki, e ngā tūranga kaha o te whenua;he totohe hoki tā Ihowā ki tāna iwi,ā, ka rīria e ia te hē o Īharaira.3“E tāku iwi, i aha ahau ki a koe?He ahatanga nāku i hōhā ai koe?Whakaaturia mai tōku hē!4Nāku nā hoki koe i kawe mai i te whenua o Īhipa,nāku anō koe i hoko i roto i te whare pononga;ā, i ungā atu e ahau a Mohi,a Ārona, a Miriama ki mua i a koe.5Kia mahara, e tāku iwi, ki te whakaaro i whakatakotoriae Pāraka kīngi o Moapa,ki te kupu hoki i whakahokia ki a iae Paraama tama a Peoro;maharatia i Hitimi tae noa ki Kirikara,kia mōhio ai koutou ki ngā mahi tika a Ihowā.”
Tā Ihowā i Hiahia ai
6He aha tāku e haere ai ahau ki te aroaro o Ihowā,e piko ai ki te Atua i runga?He patunga tapu rānei te mea e haere ai ahau ki tōna aroaro,he kūao tau tahi rānei?7E manako rānei a Ihowā ki ngā mano o ngā hipi toa,ki ngā mano kotahi tekau rānei o ngā awa hinu?Me hoatu rānei e ahau tāku mātāmua hei utu mō tāku poka kē,te hua o tōku kōpū mō te hara o tōku wairua?8Kua whakaaturia e ia ki a koe, e te tangata, te mea pai;ā, he aha tā Ihowā e rapu nei ki a koe,heoi anō ko te whakawā tika, ko te pai ki te tohu tangata,ko te whakaiti me te haere tahi i tōu Atua?
Ka Whiua te Tinihanga me te Whakarekereke
9E karanga ana te reo o Ihowā ki te pā,ā, ka kite te tangata whakaaro nui i tōu ingoa:“Whakarongo ki te whiu, ki a ia hoki nāna i whakarite.10Tērā anō rānei ngā taonga o te kinokei roto i te whare o te tangata kino,me te mēhua iti, whakarihariha anō?11Ka mā rānei ahau ki te kino ngā pāuna,ki te tinihanga ngā weti i roto i te pūtea?12Kī tonu nā hoki i te tutū ōna tāngata taonga,ā, kua kōrero teka ōna tāngata,kei te tinihanga hoki ō rātou arero i roto i ō rātou māngai.13“Mō reira kua whiua hoki koe e ahau ki te mate taimaha;kua meinga koe e ahau kia mokemoke,hei utu mō ōu hara.14Ka kai koe, ā, kāhore e mākona;ka waiho anō tōu whakaitinga i waenganui i a koe;ka tangohia atu anō e koe, heoi e kore e haere ora i a koe;ko te mea hoki e mauria atu e koe ka hoatu e ahau ki te hoari.15Ka whakatō koe, ā, e kore e kokoti;ka takahi koe i te ōriwa,ā, e kore e whakawahi i a koe ki te hinu;i te wāina hou, ā, e kore e inu i te wāina.16Nō te mea e mau ana ngā tikanga a Omori,me ngā mahi katoa a te whare o Āhapa,ā, e haere ana koutou i runga i ō rātou whakaaro;kia meinga ai koe e ahau kia ururua,ā, ko ngā tāngata o konā hei whakahīanga atu;ā, ka mau ki a koutou te ingoa kino o tāku iwi.”
