Te Urupatu o te Pā Kino

¹Kua tae ake te kaiwāwāhi ki tōu aroaro.Tiakina te pā,tūteia te ara,kia kaha tōu hope,kia ū rawa tōu kaha.

²Nō te mea ka whakahokia mai e Ihowā te korōria o Hākopa,me te korōria o Īharaira;kua takoto kau hoki rātou i ngā kaiwhakatakoto kau,kua hē anō ā rātou manga wāina i a rātou.

³Kua oti te whakangungu rākau a āna mārohirohi te whakawhero,he ngangana te kākahu o ngā māia.Kei te rino e kanapa ana te rite o ngā hāriatai te rā e takatū ai ia,ā, ko ngā tao wiri rawa.⁴Ngana tonu ngā hāriata i ngā ara,taututetute ana ki a rātou anō i ngā waharoa;ko tō rātou āhua ānō he roherohe,e rere ana me he uira.⁵Ka mahara ia ki āna metararahi;ka tapatu rātou i a rātou e haere ana;ka hohoro rātou ki tō reira taiepa,ā, ka rite te ārai.

⁶Ka whakatuwheratia ngā kūwaha o ngā awa,ka papahoro te whare kīngi.⁷Nā, kua tū tahanga a Huhapa, kua maua atu ia,ā, ka tangi āna pononga wāhine,ko te reo koia anō kei tō te kūkupa,ko ō rātou uma hei timipera mā rātou.⁸Ko Ninewe ia, ko tōna rite mai onamata, kei te puna wai.Heoi, ka tahuti rātou;ka karanga, “E tū, e tū!”Heoi, e kore tētahi e titiro whakamuri.⁹Pāhuatia te hiriwa,pāhuatia te kōura;kāhore hoki he mutunga o ngā rawa,o te korōria i roto i ngā taonga āhuareka katoa.¹⁰Kua takoto kau ia, kāhore āna mea, mōtī rawa!Harotu kau te ngākau, kei te āki anō ngā turi ki a rāua,he nui te mamae kei ngā hope katoa,kua kōmā ngā mata o rātou katoa.

¹¹Kei hea te nohoanga o ngā raiona,te wāhi kai a ngā kūao raiona,te wāhi i hāereere ai te raiona, me te raiona kātua,me te kūao raiona, tē ai he kaiwhakawehi?¹²I haehaea mai e te raiona he mea e mākona ai āna kūao,nōtia ana e ia te kakī hei mea mā āna raiona uha,whakakīia ana e ia ōna rua ki te kai,ōna nohoanga hoki ki te mea i haehaea.

¹³“Nanā, hei hoariri tēnei ahau mōu,”e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano,“ka tahuna anō e ahau ana hāriata i roto i te paowa,ka pau āu kūao raiona i te hoari.Ka kore i ahau he haehaenga māu i runga i te whenua,e kore anō te reo o āu karere e rangona ā muri ake nei.”
