Te Riri o Ihowā ki a Ninewe

²He Atua hae a Ihowā, he rapu utu;he rapu utu a Ihowā, ā, kī tonu i te riri;e rapu utu ana a Ihowā i ōna hoariri,ā, e rongoātia ana e ia he riri mō ōna hoariri.³He pūhoi a Ihowā ki te riri, he nui tōna kaha,e kore rawa e whakaharakoretia e ia te tangata hara.Ko tō Ihowā ara kei te tūkauati, kei te paroro,ko ngā kapua te puehu o ōna waewae.⁴E rīria ana e ia te moana, ā, meinga ana kia maroke,ā, whakamaroketia ana ngā awa katoa.E ngohe ana a Pahana, me Karamere,ā, kahakore noa iho te puāwai o Repanōna.⁵Wiri ana ngā maunga i a ia,rewa ana ngā pukepuke;huamo ake ana te whenua i tōna aroaro,āe rā, te ao, me ngā tāngata katoa e noho ana i reira.⁶Ko wai e kaha ki te tū i mua i tōna āritarita?Ko wai e kaha ki te whakatika, ina mura tōna riri;ko te ringihanga mai o tōna weriweri, ānō he ahi;ko ngā kāmaka wāhia iho e ia.⁷He pai a Ihowā,he pā kaha i te rā o te raru;e mōhio ana hoki ia ki te hungae whakawhirinaki ana ki a ia.⁸Otiia ka mōtī tō reira wāhi i tāna waipuke e ngawhā ana;ka whāia anō e ia ōna hoariri ki roto ki te pōuri.

⁹Ko te aha tā koutou e whakaaro nā ki a Ihowā?Ka mōtī rawa i a ia;e kore e tuaruatia te putanga ake o te aituā.¹⁰Nō te mea, ahakoa rite rātou ki te tātarāmoa e whiwhi ana,ahakoa ki ngā kōpū anō nā tā rātou wāina,ka tino pau rātou, ānō he kakau wīti kua maroke.¹¹Kua puta mai i roto i a koetētahi e whakaaro ana i te hē mō Ihowā,he kaiwhakatakoto i te whakaaro kino.

He Rongo Pai mō Hūrā

¹²Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā,“Ahakoa tino kaha rātou, ahakoa tini,heoi ka tapahia rātou, ka pahemo ia.Ahakoa i whiua koe e ahau,e kore koe e whiua e ahau ā muri ake nei.¹³Nā, ākuanei ahau wāhi ai i tāna ioka i runga i a koe,momotu ai i ōu here.”

¹⁴He whakahau hoki tā Ihowā mōu, arā:“Kia kaua e whakatōkia tētahi o tōu ingoa ā muri ake nei;ka hātepea atu e ahau te whakapakoko tāraime te whakapakoko whakarewa i roto i te whare o ōu atua.Ka hangā e ahau he urupā mōu; nō te mea he kino koe.”

¹⁵Nanā, kei runga i ngā maunga ngā waewaeo te kaikawe mai i te kōrero pai,o te kaikauwhau i te rongo mau!Mahia āu hākari, e Hūrā,whakamanā āu kupu taurangi;nō te mea heoi anō haeretanga atu o te tangata kino nā waenga i a koe;kua hātepea rawatia atu ia.
